I do not own any of the characters from Stephenie Meyer's novel. The ideas are mine.

Summary: After the verbal battle in Breaking Dawn, there is a kind of peace and relief that has brought yet another meaning to life.

Jasper's POV:

My brother Edward had always believed us to be soul-less creatures, creatures that should not exist. Vampires. We were in fact uncommon beings, but one thing convinced me of our existence: emotions. My entire world was ruled by them. By special skill that I had brought over to this life had been the ability to feel other people's feelings, and transmit my own to them. For one particular feeling, one more intense than hate, than passion I had sense and reason in my life. Love. For years, my life had been dominated by hate, war and murder, my scars were proof of that black past, a past I avoided remembering.

For weeks, my wife Alice and me had searched for a half-vampire, half-human that would put an end to the tragic coming of the Volturi. These were weeks of frustration, searching what seemed to be in vain. I even had a sense of despair built into me, for knowing that even if Alice and I did escape what awaited at Forks, our family wouldn't. We had to find said creature and save our family, people who had also contributed to adding meaning in my life.

Our hope had been restored, when we finally came back with the boy named Nahuel, and the argument had proceeded no further. We were all saved, because of the patience of my angel, my soul, my life, Alice. I had sensed many times how Edward felt about Bella, how he felt that any fober of his being belonged to her and viceversa. That kind of love could not be found every day, but between Alice and me it was the same...if not more intense. I had loved her every day from the moment I had met her...not that time ever mattered to us anyway. But thinking about Alice was like finding the elixir of life: I was complete. There were times when I was more eager to show it than others, but that feeling of love was the same eager flame as always, never diminishing, always growing stronger.

Now after knowing that together, with my Alice, we had saved our family, and us I could only feel happy for myself. I was never very proud of myself as such, so this sensation was brand knew. Right then I realised, or rather confirmed even more how my better half, my Alice and I belonged together. Selfless and pure love was suposed to make each other better people, or beings (even vampires) and Alice had had the ability of that. That I could feel better about myself sure was a sign that I belonged with her. My feelings right now must have been very intense for Alice in fact raised her eyes to meet mine, questioning the origin of such intensified emotion. This was one of the best aspects of our relationship: we connected so deeply mentally that no words were needed to express ourselves. Sometimes I felt as Edward, only that i could only read my wife's mind instead of everyone's. Alice reflected my own feelings, but I knew she meaned them as her own too, which grew my sould even bigger. To know that I needed Alice as much as she needed me was extremely rewarding. Being so important to someone would have made me cry from joy, if I were able to. Right now, not even in my head could I explain this feeling of gratutude, unity, loyalty, honesty and love. One glance at her direction once more confirmed her retribution.

Carlisle and Esme were watching the sun setting on the horizon, over the river from the back of our house. The twilight really fascinsted us every time we saw it. Emmett and Rosalie were sitting together in the living-room couch (not that they needed to but out of habit.) I had once been concerned that the core of their relationship was only physical, but by the way they were gazing at each other, as for the first time, and the feeling that erupted from both of them, crushing into me and adding to mines, I knew they loved each other deeply and honestly. Charlotte and Peter had left a few hours ago, which were the last ones outside our family to leave. This atmosphere after the storm was a quiet peace, a gently one that reassured that for now, everything would be fine.

With one quick movement, I sat up from the chair in the dining room across the living and headed to where Alice was, standing by the big window to the forest. She was looking at me approaching her and her beautiful eyes struck mines with gentleness and love. I caressed her cheek with my stony hand, smooth against my skin. She closed her eyes, letting my feelings flow through her. At human speed, very slow to us, she placed her head into my chest, while I let my face lean in her soft spiky hair. We held like this for what seemed like an eternity until the night was entirely upon us.

I hadn't realised at the time, but apparently Rosalie and Emmett had disapeared from the living room and even with our perfect eyesight, I couldn't spot Esme nor Carlisle across the river. I was so absorbed into us when I was with Alice. As if reading my mind, she grabbed my hand like in our first meeting and headed upstairs towards our room.

"I feel like nothing could ever be wrong again" Alice said as we were climbing the stairs.

"Yes, love. I feel that every day whenever I see you." Was my response.

"You southern men are always so gentleman. But I do love your comments" Alice said, a wide grin across her face. I could not help but laugh too. I had always been taught to be polite, especially to women and as I had realised by myself, even more polite to the woman that owned my life, that held it out of pure will. How could I not treat her like a godess when she was all to me?

She danced her way across the long corridor and stopped at the bedroom entrance. I leaned closer to her and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. She placed her hands around my neck and looked straight into my eyes, before placing a long kiss in my mouth. My world would have collapsed that second. W should be dead by now if we hadn't found Nahuel, but instead I was with the love of my life, kissing her as for the first time. Death certainly had a way to make everyone think once more about appreciating life. That could explain the entire calmness that ruled Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Bella and Edward. We were all experienced what seemed like a dream: for we were not suposed to had¡ve lived through today.

This gratitude made me deeper the kiss, much to Alice's surprise as she probably had not forseen the sudden feeling that rashed through me. Even so, she welcomed it. I wanted to see her topaz eyes, so I break our kiss and feasted my eyes with hers.

"Your eyes are black Jazz. We should go hunt" Alice said, holding my face in her hands, examining my eyes better. I did not want to hunt, I wanted to stay locked with her for a very long time, until the day called us back. Right now, even though I had not hunted for a week, being with Alice reduced the burn in my throat as if there was no signs of it. I could hold it, without suffering. Immediately I felt happy. Tonight, I had only my mind, body and sould to Alice.

"Alice, I would not waste a night like this for something so unimportant to me right now as hunting. I'm in complete control of myself, no suffering, no longing for blood." Was the only response I gave her. As in relief she sighed, showing a huge smile that dominated her face. I placed my arms aroung her and carried her throught the door.

A slow music was playing right now in the radio, which invited my limbs to move gracefully. I let her feet slip to the floor and then she was in my arms, in a close embrace with my chest, dancing with the music. Once again we stayed like this for hours, no need to talk, but letting the magical emotions exchange between us. Then we both heard the front door of the house open. There was a pair of feet I easily recognised: Edward. Next to him were other softer footsteps, Bella and a beating heart. Renesmme's heart beat faster than humans, but yet in a melodic tone. Amazingly, I was not dominated with the lust of her pulse.

"We're all gathering below in ten seconds" Alice warned me, through one of her visions. A family gathering, this peaceful was a gift, a time to share our happiness together. I realised that my life was right beside me, and going downstairs only added to by complete being, with the love of a united family and my wife next to me, as we entered the big dining room. By the look and smiles on everyone's face I knew this would be a night to remember, those night that you can share while telling stories, a moment of true bonding.

To be continued... there will be other character's POVs, but the story is mainly centered in Jasper and Alice.
