Hi everyone. This is my first fic ever, so I'm really nervous about getting this out there. Hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: If I were Stephanie Mayer, I would have more Jasper time in the books. Until I do own them (which will be never), I'm going to be content reading and now writing here.

Alice was laying beside her husband in their bed, after one of their love-making sessions. It had been wonderful, and she was very content. She turned her head towards him.

"I love you, Jasper."

"I love you too, Darlin'," he said before kissing her passionately once again. They layed in each others arms, legs tangled, and just enjoyed the moon and stars shining through the windows, while Edward's musical talents were at work at the piano downstairs.

After a few hours, Alice decided it was time to talk to Jasper about what's been bothering them since they first met in 1948.

"Something's missing, Jasper, and I can't help but feel like we'll never find it. I know we're mates, and there's a huge part of us missing."

Jasper kissed her forehead, and sent her waves of love and reassurance. "I know darlin', but until we figure it out eventually. It's only a matter of time. It's frustratin', and sad and I know we're tired of waitin', but someday, when we figure it out, I know we'll be thinkin' that it's worth the wait."

Alice smiled. "When did you start seeing the future? I though that was my job."

"It is, sweetheart, but I know it'll happen."

"How?"

"You wont give up until it does. I've known you long enough, darlin', and you won't rest until you see it in one of your visions."

She looked at her husband, and sent him all the love and pride she could conjure. "You always know what to say. Why is it that you're always the one giving all the good pep talks?"

"Because you're always the one who pushes through things. I just have the advantage of knowin' what your feelings. When it comes to this, I always look to your emotions to help me out."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

They held each other until the family returned from their overnight hunt. For Alice and Jasper, it was time for a quick hunt of their own before another repetitive day in high school. It was especially boring, but the family only had another six months left before using Carlisle's job as an excuse to move again. He was already in the process of applying to another hospital, but hadn't yet decided if the family was going to spend quality time with their cousins in Alaska, or moving around the country again.

As they left the house, the sun has just started peeking through the horizon. They ran through the trees, when Alice was suddenly hit with a vision so intense, she fell to her knees.

Carlisle was on the highway, his Mercedes going so much faster then the legal limit. It was a normal thing for his kind, even ones as compassionate as him. He was on his way to the hospital for a forty eight hour shift, in his toothpaste green scrubs and hospital ID. The only thing missing was his lab coat.

Somewhere along the road, he saw a car pulled over, and the back passenger door opened. Legs were crouching down, as if looking for something on the floor of the car. He didn't think much of it until he got closer and heard a woman's cries of pain. "It's too early! They're not due till Halloween! AHHH!"

Once he reached the car, he pulled over. The cries were louder now, almost piercing to a vampire's sensitive hearing.

"Charlie Swan, I'm going to kill you! You're never touching me again!" the woman said, pain evident in her voice.

"Renee, are you sure we can't make it to the hospital?" Charlie questioned.

"Charlie so help me God, they are ready to come out! NOW! Do something!" said Renee.

Carlisle knew immediately what was happening. This woman was going to give birth on the side of the road. He hadn't helped in a birth since before he changed Edward, but he never forgot how. He would just have to do what he could.

He got out of the car, taking his medical bag with him. He knew it wouldn't help much, but at least it contained clean utensils for him to use. He approached the car, making sure he made enough noise for Charlie to hear.

"Do you need a doctor?" asked Carlisle.

Charlie looked up. "Do you know how to deliver babies?"

"It's been a while, but I can manage just fine. Go make yourself comfortable at her head. This will take a while," he told Charlie. Then he focused his attention to Renee. " I'm Dr. Cullen. Will you allow me to help you?"

"For the love of God YES! Get them out! I need to push!" was all she had time to say before another contraction hit.

"First, I need you to breath for me, alright? I'm going to make sure you're fully dialated before we go any further." He waited for her to breath through her contraction, then began the examination. "You're almost there. Do not push just yet. I need you to relax as best you can." He then looked back to Charlie, "There's are blankets in my trunk. Get it so we have something to wrap the baby up with."

"We'll need two."

"Then get two. Here are my keys. And call the paramedics. Once they get here they can transport the twins and Renee in the ambulance safely. We'll follow in the cars. Tell them we are between the Fish Lake Road turn offs." Charlie left to do as he was told.

In the meantime, he asked Renee her name, as well as Charlie's. Now he could call them by name without suspicion. "When was the last time you went to the washroom?"

"Does it seriously matter?" she asked before another contraction hit.

As Charlie returned, Carlisle responded. "It'll help avoid complications later."

"Half-hour ago," she managed to whisper while releasing a breath.

"That's good. Breath and relax, it'll help this one move faster. The sooner we get them out, the sooner we can get you to the hospital." Carlisle continued getting the scene ready for the delivery. He sanitized his hands, arms and elbows, once again, using the rest of his hand sanitizer.

He checked Renee's progress once again, and found she was ready for the delivery. "Charlie, I need you to not aggravate anything, understand?" Charlie looked confused but nodded. "This will be stressful for both of you; just encourage Renee and let her break your hand if necessary," he said with a smile. Once again, he turned his full attention to Renee. "It's time to push. When your next contraction starts, take your thighs in your hands and pull back a little, put your chin on your chest, take a deep breath and push, al right?"

They didn't have to wait long. Within fifteen seconds, another contraction began, and Renee did was was needed. "Push hard Renee, I need your muscles to push, not your face. That's it. Keep going." Four contractions and nine pushes later, Carlisle had the baby's head in his hands. "Stop pushing, now. I need to clean the airway. Just breath until I tell you."

"Get her out! It hurts."

"I'm doing that Renee, breath and relax the muscles," he said patiently. Once the baby's face and neck was clear of membrane, he told her to push again at the next contraction. He gently guided the baby to it's side, to get the first shoulder out, then the other. Finally, a baby girl was officially born into the world. He made sure her breathing was normal, or as normal as it could be for a premature twin. Carlisle noted her breathing was labored, but she wasn't struggling to catch her breath. He patted the little one dry, checked the time to note it on the birth certificate, and asked a green-looking Charlie if he wanted to cut the umbilical cord. Once it was complete, Carlisle wrapped the baby in one of the blankets and passed her over to her mother.

"Isabella Marie, welcome to the world," whispered Renee as she cried tears of joy and tried to catch her breath.

The paramedics had finally arrived on the scene, just as Renee was hit with more contractions, signaling the other baby was coming too.

She handed Isabella to Charlie, who shook a little as he held his daughter for the first time, and one of the paramedics took his place. The process began again, this time going much faster. It wasn't long before another little girl was joining the world.

Once the baby was cleaned, the time of birth was noted, and the umbilical cord cut, she was handed off to her mother. "Hello Isadora May. I'm so happy you're finally here."

She came out of her vision then, and felt Jasper's arms around her in comfort. The woman had said it so perfectly. Alice was happy Isadora had come into the world. During the vision, the vampire had never felt more complete, more delighted; now, however, all she felt was loneliness and loss. Jasper did everything he could, including sending her waves of love and comfort, but it did little to help Alice.

"What did you see?"

"Twins. They are going to be born on the side of the road today. Carlisle will deliver them. The younger one, Isadora, she... She just gave me this feeling of completion, like she's what's missing from my heart."

"What do you mean?"

"I think she's what we've been looking for, Jazz. I think she's our missing piece."

Jasper couldn't believe was his wife had said. They were going to mate again? With a human? "Are you sure?"

"I've never been more sure of anything in my life, Jazz. I didn't think it was possible, but our mate will be born today while we're in school. And the firstborn twin, Isabella, she'll be important too. I don't know how, but I can feel it. I want to be there when they are born, Jazz. I need to be near Isadora. Everything in me is screaming to go to her, but if I do... she disappears! "

"Alice, sweetheart, we can't mate with a human. Not only dangerous for her because of the fact that she is human and my lack of self control, but if we get discovered, it could mean her death by the Volturi."

"I don't think you're able to hurt your mate. It would cause you too much pain to do so. But she wil find out about us at some point. I just know it."

"Sweetheart, I'll make a deal with you. Let her have her childhood free of things that go bump in the night. Give her a normal childhood. We can find her later, when she's older and can hopefully cope with everything. Until then, keep an eye on her, make sure she's safe, because I know you'll want to when the time comes."

"How can you want to keep her away Jasper? She's our mate!" Alice was beginning to get frustrated with his calm demeanor about the situation. How can he do this? How can he not seem to care?

"I haven't seen her Alice. I might as well be talking about a character from a book." He took a deep, unnecessary, breath before continuing. "Let me gain as much control as I can before submitting her to this life. I don't want to take any chances. Especially with a human."

She thought about it. He was already protecting her... from himself. The situation, however, could help him focus more on staying in control... to help him let go of his bloodlust. Isadora could be his goal. "Okay. I don't like staying away from her, but I can understand you not wanting to accidently kill her. We'll wait before entering her life."

She really didn't want to, but she would make the sacrifice... for Jasper, and the newborn human Isadora.

Hope it's something you enjoyed reading. Constructive criticism would be great. A kind word would be encouraging. Anything to let me know how I'm doing will help my creative muse work through more chapters.

Until the next chapter. Review.
