Jasper POV

Ahhh Vegas. The perfect place to celebrate upcoming nuptuals, Emmett style.

I still couldnt believe that my sweet sister is getting married to her big oaf of a fiancee in 3 days.

Rosalie and I were always close. Of course we were only 3 minutes apart. I never let her forget that I was, and always will be, her big brother.

The music of the club was thumping and the bass shaking tables. Lights spun and swirled around the club in various, revolving colors.

"Tell me again why Emmett's stag night became a co-ed party?" My younger brother, Edward said with a slight sneer, causing Rosalie to glare and Emmett to cringe.

"You seem to have forgotten all of the trouble that you got him into at your last party, Edward" Rosalie spat venomously.

I couldnt help but grin at the memory. Emmett took off running down the road after Edward had given him various mixed drinks for hours on end. We found him the next morning, naked, in a hay field about half a mile away with a new tattoo decorating his back. Rosalie didnt let that one go for weeks. We still dont know how he ended up naked.

Alice, Edward's girlfriend, giggled, "That was a fun night... right, Eddie?" she whispered as she nudged his shoulder. He just gave her his classic, suave smile that made most women turn to goo.

I couldnt help but roll my eyes. I didnt want to know why that had been such a great night, but I had an idea. Bad image. Scarred for life.

He always was a pretty boy. Edward was the suave one, Rosalie the modelesque type, and I was the "southern charmer".

Suddenly a waft of vanilla and strawberries filtered through my nose and ripping me from my thoughts.

"She's here" my mind screamed, not daring to turn my body around.

"Bella! You made it!" Alice shrieked, leaping up from Edwards vice grip and wrapping her arms around the petite woman's neck, jumping up and down.

She giggled, oh how I loved that giggle.

"Of course, Alice! I wouldnt miss my favorite Big Brother's party!" Bella said with a smile and a sly grin.

"I'm your only Big Brother, Hells Bells. And I'm glad you made it." He said genuinely as he wrapped her in a tight hug. "I've missed you so much, Bells."

I could see the tears begin to form in her beautiful brown eyes and my chest ached. I wanted to wrap her in my arms and kiss away her tears.

"I've missed you too, Emmy." She said in a whisper, almost as if she didnt trust her own voice to keep from breaking.

"Well don't forget about me now, ya hear?" Rosalie said, a wide grin on her face, wiping a lone tear from her cheek.

Bella backed away from her brother who was almost double her size and hugged Rosalie, squealing, "I cant believe youre going to be my sister!"

Rosalie laughed, "I know, right? It's amazing."

I had had enough of them catching up and cleared my throat, causing them both to turn in my direction.

I whipped my head around at the sound of him clearing his voice.

"Hi, Bella..." He said in his southern drawl, one side of his mouth lifting in a crooked smile.

I felt my heart race a little at the sight of him. Yeah, I knew he was there, but I was trying to ignore him and just enjoy the evening.

"Hi... Jasper..." I said cautiously, trying not to arouse suspicion from my brother or Rosalie.

"How've ya been?" He continued, and I could feel my face getting red.

I raied an eyebrow at him and silently asked him what the hell he was trying to pull.

"I'm good, Jasper, thanks for asking."

"Enough of the heavy, guys! Let's order a round!" Alice squealed. I could always count on her to break the tension.

"I've got first round in honor of my little sister, and her fiancee.. WHat'll it be, ya'll?" Jasper asked, pulling out his wallet.

Various orders were heard. Jack and coke, pina colada, tequila, rum on the rocks, sex on the beach..

"Bella? What'll ya have, darlin'?" Jasper asked lightly in my ear as he passed by.

I couldnt help but shiver at the feel of his breath on my neck.

"Surprise me.." I said, a smile playing on my lips.

His smile grew wide again, "You've got it, babe..."

The drinks slid down my throat like water, and I lost track of how many I actually had.

Many toasts were made that night. To the most amazing couple, to many years of great sex, to friends getting together again and so on and so on. A shot was had for each one.

Things were beginning to look a little fuzzy when the pixie squealed.

"Belly! Dance with me!" Alice grinned. Damn Pixie. So hyper.

I took her hand and followed her out to the dance floor as the lights swirled around us in various colors. She bumped and grinded her way around the dance floor, leaving me to[unknowingly] dance by myself.

It has been a few minutes before I felt a pair of hands on my hips, pulling me back against an obvious male body. I felt myself stiffen a little but continued to dance with the mystery person behind me.

Once the song ended, I turned to face my partner-only to have my eyes widen.

"Jasper! What are you thinking?" I stage whispered to him.

He smiled his crooked smile again and i felt the dampness between my thighs. Alcohol and Jasper were bad combination.I tried to remain mad.

"Darlin', I couldnt leave you out here to dance by yourself.. You should have seen the way those creeps were looking at you." He whispered, gesturing to a group of guys with a nod.

I quickly looked over his shoulder and saw a few men looking at me with big smiles on their faces. I could feel my face begin to flush as I smiled back at them.

"Protect me from them?" I slurred a little, "Looks like they just wanna help me..." as I tried to walk my way over there only to have Jasper's hand grab my arm and pull me back.

"Oh no you don't, Darlin'. I wouldn't be much of a friend if I let you go and do something potentially dangerous."

"You're not much of a friend, anyway." I glared at him, trying to pull away from him again.

"Come on, babe. Let's get you home." He said, throwing me over his shoulder, much to my disapproval.

"Put me down you big oger." I growled, attempting to kick my legs as he carried me over to our table.

JPOV

When I got back to the table I saw Rosalie rubbing a wasted Emmett's back, Alice sitting in Edward's lap making out, and some random stragglers passed out with their heads on the table. Who the hell knows where they came from.

"Hey, guys... I'm going to take Bella back to the hotel. I'll see you all in the morning."

"Oooookay Jazzy boy..." Emmett slurred, "Treat my little sissy good. That means noooo fuckin!" He paused for effect, "Just kidding..." and he cracked up laughing, causing Rose to look at me with a worried expression.

"Be careful, Jasper. It is Vegas." Rose said with a smile.

I tipped my imaginary hat to her and carried the drunk beauty out the front doors.

"I said put me down you big baffoon!" she yelled again, causing me to stop walking halfway down the block.

"If I put you down to walk, will you be a good girl and stay with me?" I spoke slowly, as if I were speaking to a child.

"Of course I will. I'm not a baby!" She growled as I placed her down on her feet. The alcohol was taking its effect and she stumbled a little and I caught her in my arms.

"...Just take me back to my hotel, baffoon." She whispered, starting to walk down the strip.

I pursed my lips a little and followed after her. I debated on whether or not I should bring up our sore subject, but I knew I had to in order to clear the air.

"Bella, we've gotta talk about this..." I said quietly as I caught up to her.

"There is nothing to talk about, Jasper. Nothing! There is nothing between us."

I couldnt help but shake my head, "I'm here for you, Bella. Nothing ever changed that for me."

She stopped walking and looked at me as we reached the hotel entrance, "I dont need you here for me. Like I said, there is nothing between us."

I was beginning to get frustrated and could no longer keep my composure.

"It was my baby too, Bella!"
