AN2: Okay, so I have been feeling more sick lately than usual and I decided to break the Christmas one-shots in to two chapters so I hope you all won't mind to much. This way you will have the first half to read while you are waiting for the second part to be put up.

I have lived for a very long time, longer than any human or shape shifters for that matter, so nothing really scared me anymore. Even when I was human I did not scare easily, but when my fiancee Leah Clearwater was the one exception to that rule, especially if she didn't get what she wanted right away and that is one of the reasons nobody usually argued with her and simply let her do things her way. Even though my lover and future wife could be terrifying to a degree not even some of the scariest vampires around could be, I was the only person in my family who would argue with her if I did not want to give in to whatever demands she had. Today though, today was a completely different story and I was so close to giving in.

"Jasper we are engaged and soon we will be married and I can't even invite some of my pack members because they have no idea we are together." I watched as her face crumpled and a frown caused her bottom lip to quiver. It only served to make me feel even worse about not giving in right away. "I want to be able to show my love for you in public without the fear of having someone we know finding out. It's not fair to either of us if we continue to hide. We have no reason to hide Jasper; I love you and you know that. What others think about the fact we are together and about to be married doesn't matter because they are not the ones getting married and therefore they have absolutely no right to judge you and I. Besides, if someone says something that really upsets you I will knock them out and depending on who it is, I may even let you have a snack."

I smirked at her comment knowing it was half a joke and have serious. That's one of the things I love about my Quilette fiancee; she always told the truth not caring if someone was offended because in her mind it was better to hurt them with honesty than to coddle them with lies. "Darlin,' you know I would do anything for you, but don't you think it is going to come as a shock when you introduce me as not only your boyfriend, but as your soon to be husband? You know I love you and want to be able to scream from the rooftops that I am engaged to Leah Clearwater, but I haven't done that because I wanted you to be able to break the news to your family and pack members gently. Springing the news on them like this, are you sure it's what you want to do? There are bound to be a few people who are less than thrilled with our union."

"I don't care what they think Jasper." My she-wolf fiancee stated with one hand on her hip. "Like I said, I am tired of hiding our relationship and if anyone has a problem with it then it is their problem not ours. Please come with me Jasper; you're not going to make me face the entire pack and my mother alone are you?"

I detested it when she used her emotions and my ability to feel emotions against me. It really was not fair, but then again this is Leah and since when had she ever played fair before? "Are you seriously trying to guilt trip me in to tagging along? You know I could simply alter your emotions in such a way you wouldn't be able to try and guilt me in to getting your way right?"

"Of course I know that." She answered with a slightly evil smile on her face and I knew the look she had on her face very well; it was the one she wore whenever she had an ace up her sleeve she was about to put in to play. "I also know you won't do it because you are to good a person to do something so devious. Now when it it comes to me, we both know I can be that devious when I want to be, so are you going to stop dragging your feet and give in or am I going to have to doing to convince you to do things my way? Oh, just to make it clear, unlike the last time when I had to convince you to join my way of thinking, this time it will not be pleasurable."

"You really do play dirty darlin', but if this is what you want, what you really want, then you know I'm in as well." Wrapping my arm around her shoulder, I pressed a cold kiss to her temple. "Besides, it may be fun to cause a little trouble and get everyone all riled up."

Leah laughed as she set her head against my shoulder. "Now you're getting it babe."

Three days later I found myself driving both Leah and myself back to Washington, something I hadn't thought about doing for a few more years since the only people she really kept in contact with were Jacob Black and brother Seth. Edward and Alice had offered to accompany us for moral support, but I had declined their off since I knew that while they would come if I asked, they would much rather spend their fiftieth year of marriage someone much more romantic like Paris where their wedding had been held. The offer had been kind, but I was pretty sure Leah and I could handle this on our own; bringing in more vampires, even it it was just my family, I knew Leah's pack brothers wouldn't be pleased to have more vampires on their land than necessary.

I took time away from my thoughts to glance at the love of my un-life and noticed she was fixing her short hair for the fifth time in an hour and that was something since Leah usually wasn't concerned with her appearance like the other women in my family. It didn't matter either because nothing she did could make her more perfect than she already was, but I knew if I told her that right now she would only respond with a roll of her eyes. Something not many people knew about my lovely fiancee was that while she may act like a tough bitch most of the time, some things really got to her. If she heard people talking about her in a negative way she would obsess over it for weeks even though she would never admit to that even if she was being tortured. The only reason I even knew was due to the fact that I felt her emotions ever second of every single day. Nobody knew Leah like I did and nobody ever would, but then again nobody knew me better than Leah did so I suppose it made sense in a way.

"It's not going to help." I told her as she continued to fuss over hair. "You cannot do anything to change your appearance when you're already perfect."

I felt a wave of happiness flow from her in to me even though she was doing her best to keep her expression blank. "You would do well to keep your eyes on the road instead of on me because if we die in a fiery crash I am going to come back from the dead, find a way to resurrect you, torture you, kill you again, and then start the process all over again."

Laughing, I turned my attention back to the road even though there was no need for it since I could drive a hundred miles and hour and not once have to look at the road. I could drive all day long with my eyes closed if I wanted to do so. "I love it when you threaten me darlin;, it gets me all hot metaphorically speaking."

"Eyes on the road." She snapped though I could tell she wasn't really upset with me from the tone of voice she used. "I have to make sure I look presentable, especially if I am standing next to you. You vampire types are perfect all the time, but the rest of us have to work at it remember?"

"Do you need me to remind you of the fact that me tagging along to this reunion was your idea and not mine?" Just to get a rise out of her, I took my left hand off the wheel and ruffled her hair which ruined all of her hard work in getting it exactly the way she wanted it.

"Jasper!" She hissed snapping her teeth in the direction of my hand in case I tried to mess up her hair for a second time. "As my fiancee it is your job to what I ask as a way to keep me happy and arguing or complaining about it is not a way to keep me pleased. Besides, you should be thanking me for getting you out of the house considering since Alice and Edward are in Paris and Carlisle and Esme went to visit Tanya and her family that means Emmett and Rosalie are in control of the house and I doubt you want to be there right right since you can feel what they feel and just the thought of what they are doing right this moment makes me sick to my stomach."

I cringed at her comment about my adopted brother and sister engaging in their favorite pastime. "You're cruel darlin', I was doing my best to forget what they are probably doing."

"It's a skill I have according to the pact." She commented before reaching in to the back seat and pulling out a pillow. "I'm going to try and get some sleep so wake me when we are close. I love you Jasper and you know I was just playing with you. I really am glad you agreed to come with me. It will be nice to finally be able to show you off because whether you know it or not I am proud of you."

About and hour and half later we crossed the line from Forks Washington in to La Push and I knew I should probably wake up my fiancee. Taking my right hand off the wheel I gently caressed the side of her face knowing my could touch would jolt her from her peaceful sleep. "Darlin', we just crossed the line and we should be arriving at First beach any minute so you may want to wake up and make sure you are ready for this."

Just as I had suspected, the coolness of my hand woke her and immediately she stretched and let out a big yawn. "We got here faster than I expected us to. Break a few speeding laws along the way Jasper?"

"Of course not darlin'." I replied with my best innocent expression. "You know I am all about following the rules,"

A short and sharp laugh escaped her lips. "I'll believe that the same day i see pigs fly."

Instead of responding, I pulled in the car over as soon as we saw some of the other pack members cars parked. In the distance I could see as well as hear them on the beach laughing and joking around. Some of them were playing frisbee and I could even smell food on the grill though it held absolutely no appeal for me. Getting out of the car I hopped over the hood and opened the door for her.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" I asked as we headed towards the beach at a human pace. "There is always time to turn back if you've changed your mind. We don't have to do this if you do not want to. There is still time to change your mind darlin'."

"No theres not." Leah stated and for a moment I was confused by her words until a blur of movement headed our way before crashing in to Leah, almost knocking her to the ground due to the force of the impact. "Hey baby brother, I missed you too."

Seth pulled away slightly so he could look at his sister. "i was so glad when you called letting me know you were going to be here. I was afraid you may have changed your mind, not that anyone could blame you if you had. So, you and Jasper huh? I knew it had to be Jasper since all the other Cullen men are taken as well as the women. it explains everything if you think about it. I mean why else would you have left with them? I knew all along you had to have a reason and after I had some time to think about it, it really wasn't that hard to figure out. You don't have to worry though sis, nobody else has figured it out yet, though I am sure they will in a few minutes, but as always I have your back. So are you ready to see everyone? Oh, just so you know, even if I hadn't known you guys were together before, I would have figured it out once I saw your ring. It's a nice ring by the way, but you may want to take it it off unless that is how you plan on letting everyone figure it out."
