He walks into the room. Without smelling him, or hearing him, or even if I weren't what I am, I would know he was there. We have a connection beyond anything I've ever felt before. I love him, completely and wholly. I have ever since my first vision of him. Jasper Whitlock. I still remember our first meeting in that diner in Philadelphia. He was shocked beyond anything that I was waiting for him, and yet, he trusted and loved me as I trusted and loved him. It was in that moment that I knew things would be alright, as long as we were together.
Now, many years later, we have a family. Not children, as we aren't able to have any. None of our kind can. But a sort of adopted family - The Cullen's. Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Rose, and Emmett consist of our adopted family, and I couldn't love them anymore than if they were my real family. I don't remember mine, and for that, I don't take their existence for granted.
"Alice, what are you thinking about? Why do you feel such love?" Jasper asks me upon walking into our room.
"I'm thinking about you, and the rest of the family. I love you all so much. You make my life complete. Even Bella. You add to me and make me what I am."
"What are you? A short shop-aholic?" Edward yelled up the stairs.
"Ha-ha, very funny. Stop being nosy." I yelled back at him. "But seriously, I love you Jazz." I turned around to look at him then. He came over to me and knelt in front of my chair.
"Alice, you know my history. You know what I told you about how my life used to be. We feel the same things. You make me better, you make me want to be and do better. The family, including Bella, adds to who I am as well. We are the same, all of us. We wouldn't be who we are now without each other."
We simply stare into each other's eyes for a while, needing nothing more from each other then to be in the other's presence. You don't find that kind of love everywhere. That kind of love doesn't happen for everyone. But for us, for our family, it's an everyday occurrence. And for that, I'm truly thankful.
