Chapt. Two.

We arrived home and I rushed inside with Nessie in my arms and Jasper trailing behind with all our bags.

'Bella! Edward!' I yelled down the hall. 'You'll never guess what!'

'Well if it isn't Alice Hale! How are you doing honey?' a familiar voice answered.

'Charlie? I didn't know you were visiting?' I came to an abrupt halt in the kitchen.

Charlie came to visit Bella and Renesmee sometime but usually it was them visiting him. What was more surprising, he had Renee with him. Renee had the same need-to-know conditions as Charlie. She was just too excited by being a grandma. She and Charlie came out of the lounge room and hugged me and Nessie. We exchanged 'Hello, how are you's. Renee held her arms out to Nessie so I passed her over. Renesmee had to well behaved for her human grandparents. She only used little words that babies use.

'Where's Bella and Edward?' Jasper asked, putting down the bags and shaking Charlie's hand.

'Oh, they just popped out for a bit. Said they'd hurry back.' Renee answered, leading the way back to the white leather couch.

Hunting. I thought. I could tell Jasper was thinking the same thing.

'Alice and I should put these things away. Wont be long.' Jasper told them before grabbing my hand and dragging me out of the room.

I sighed and started collecting up the clothes bags. I danced into me and Jaspers room and quickly stocked the closest. I done the same from Renesmee then rejoined Jasper in the kitchen. Of course, he'd already put everything away.

'Should we go collect Bella and Edward?' Jasper suggested.

'They'll hurry back. Bella must have been thirsty. I always tell her she doesn't hunt enough. If I had seen Charlie and Renee coming I would have been able to tell her. Hmm, I wonder why I didn't see. They must be around the werewolves too much now and-' Jasper cut me off with a kiss. I could feel the smile on his lips pressed tightly on mine and had to hold back a giggle. I snaked my hands around his neck as his arms found my waist. A little cough interrupted us. Renee was standing in the kitchen door way with Nessie in her arms.

'Um, Renesmee said she was hungry. I thought Id fed her for you.' She said looking at a spot on the ceiling.

'Oh that's fine.' I said, unwrapping my arms from around Jasper's neck to go get Renesmee. 'I'll take care of her. You and Charlie just relax. Bella and Edward should be back soon.'

Renee left the kitchen with a smile playing on her lips. Jasper got Renesmee's Sippy-cup filled with animal blood that Edward got for her and handed it to her. Renesmee wrinkled her nose at the cup but took it all the same. I rolled my eyes at her and walked slowly back into the lounge room. Jasper took at seat on the lounge, I sat crossed legged at his feet and propped Nessie up in my lap.

'So, what's the big news Alice?' Charlie asked.

'Well, we were just heading home after doing some shopping when I seen this sign that Dr Jays needed shop assistants and I applied.' I grinned.

'Dr who?' Charlie mused. 'Anyway, that's good Alice. You kids were very lucky to be adopted by Carlisle. I'm glad you decided to get out into the work force. Maybe Bella should do the same.'

'Dad, I'm a mother. That's hard enough.' Bella said, strolling in the back door with Edward.

Renesmee held her arms out towards them and Edward snatched her up out of my arms.

'Hey baby,' He cooed. 'Did you have fun with Alice and Jazz?'

She giggled and kissed his nose. Charlie and Renee 'awwed' at Edward and Renesmee's embrace. Edward sat the couch next to Renee and Bella plopped down into his lap and curled Nessie up in her arms. The perfect family.

Charlie and Renee stayed up till Nessie finally dropped off to sleep. Bella took her to her bed while Jasper and I headed off for a "shower". Jasper turned the taps on in our personal bathroom. We sat on the bathroom floor and chatted for a while.

When we were out, Renee was asleep in the guest room and Edward was setting out a bed for Charlie on the couch in the second lounge room. Bella had "gone to bed". Jasper also declared he was tired and slunk back into our room. I stayed up talking to Charlie till he was too tired to talk so I decided to call in it a night and dashed up the stairs. I changed into a grey tee and black pajama pants and slipped into bed where Jasper was lying with his eyes closed.

'Hey Jazz,' I whispered to him. 'Think we should go hunt?'

He rolled over and kissed me sweetly. 'Check how long Renee and Charlie are staying.'

I closed my eyes and concentrated, looking around the blind spot that was Nessie.

'They'll be here another two nights.' I replied without opening my eyes.

'Hmm we should go then.' He sighed and got up out of the bed then came around to my side and picked me up in his arms. I smiled and kissed his lips gently. He leapt lightly from the window and I released myself from his arms and hit the ground before him. When he landed next to me, I poked out my tongue and raced ahead of him. He laughed and took up speed, getting ahead of me. I pushed myself a tiny bit harder just to be next to him. I grabbed his hand and said 'Alright, alright, you win.'

'Don't I always?' Jasper laughed. I poked my tongue out again.

We found ran towards the forest closest to our house, there were usually some lions or stags wandering around.

Jasper slowed to a human pace, slipping into his hunting crouch. I followed suit. I could hear the pulse of a large herd of mule deer on the other side of the flowing river. Jasper was already ahead of me, he must be thirsty. I scowled. I hated it when he let him self get so thirsty. It must be so hard on him, although his much better at controlling himself.

I jumped the river in one simple bound and stalked after Jasper, towards the herd. As always, it was an easy kill. Over in minutes.

Once he was done, I made my way over to Jasper and ran my fingers around his cheek.

'Want to go home?' He asked.

'Why don't we just stay in the forest a bit.' I suggested, shrugging my shoulders. I wasn't too eager to go back home yet.

'I was thinking, we should go for a trip to Forks tomorrow. Or now if you wish.' Jasper said, sitting down on the grass away from the animal carcasses. I sat down next to him and started brushing my fingers through his beautiful blonde hair.

'I might get called into my interview tomorrow.' I replied. I could hardly keep the excitement out of my voice.

He laughed. 'Yes, alright then. Shall we go back then?'

Sheesh, someone was eager to get home. I thought.

I smiled and moved so I was sitting on his lap. I curled up there and he put his arms around me.

'What's the rush?' I whispered.

'I don't know. I guess I just want to be home.' He shrugged.

Jasper smiled as he read my emotions. A wave of calm came over me and I scowled at him.

'Its unnecessary to worry love.' He said.

We decided to "wake up" about half an hour after Charlie woke up. He was having breakfast and chatting away to Bella when we came down the stairs hand in hand, stretching and yawning.

'Oh morning Charlie.' I fake yawned. 'How did you sleep?'

'Yeah good. How are you this morning? You still look tired. You all do.' He frowned inspecting the shadows under me, Jasper and Bella's eyes.

All Bella had to say was 'need to know, Dad' to return Charlie's interest to his cereal.

'Did you two have anything to eat last night?' Bella hinted us.

'Oh yep. After you all hit bed we grabbed something' I replied. She just nodded.

Edward came sauntering out of Bella's room and kissed her lightly on the lips. Bella responded with such passion Charlie looked more interested in his breakfast than ever. Jasper had my smirk mirrored on his face.

'Renesmee still asleep?' Jasper questioned Bella.

'No she's lying in bed with a bottle.' She answered. 'She was pretty dead last night, you must have worn her out shopping.'

Edward scowled at me. 'Did you make her walk Alice?'

'No I did not.' I retorted. He was too fussy with the whole "keep Nessie's baby image" thing. The mall was so big it was impossible to remember every child that went through no matter how stunning she was.

'Doesn't matter' Bella said, keeping the peace.

Renee was the last to wake. She stumbled blindly into the kitchen and grabbed the coffee Bella had already prepared for her.

'Morning Mom' She chirped. Renee mumbled a good morning to everyone and sat down next to Charlie at the breakfast table.

'So what's the plan for today?' Charlie asked us.

'Hmm I don't know. Maybe we could take Nessie to the park.' Edward suggested.

I walked into the kitchen with the pretense of getting a drink but I was actually searching today's future. Hmm just glimpses of the park. How dull.

As I made my way back into the dinning a vision flashed my mind.

'Jazzy!' I squealed. He came running in and put both hands on either side of my face. 'What is? What did you see?'

'Dr Jays is calling me in for an interview!' I exclaim. I was so excited I bounced my way into the dinning room screaming 'Ohh my gosh! I cant believe it!' Charlie laughed, but Renee seemed a bit scared.

Edward rolled his eyes. 'Its just an interview Alice. Doesn't mean you've got the job.'
