Chapter One: Content

Jasper POV

It had been three years since we'd moved in with the Cullens. These three years have been the best of my life. I had bonded almost immediately with Emmett and Edward. Jacob got on my nerves a lot. He was often making fun of the fact that I was the second vampire in the family to have fallen in love with a vampire as a human. Why he saw so much humor in this, I don't know.

Esme had become an immediate mother to me, caring for me and loving me just as my human mother would. I had stayed in touch with my family and friends. Well, most of them. Peter hadn't been returning my calls lately. In fact, neither had Charlotte. But I kept in contact with my family.

Alice was still perfect, as usual. And Rosalie took a while to get used to, what with her attitude. It also took a while to get her to accept me as her 'twin' for public appearances. Personally, I didn't think we looked alike in the least. Bella was just Bella. Kind, fun to be around with, the perfect little sister. Though you wouldn't want to get on her bad side…she can be quite scary.

I found it amusing to use my power to play around with people's emotions. Once Edward had realized this, though, he put a stop to it. Spoil sport.

"Hey!" Edward yelled from downstairs. "How would you like to end up kissing the dog? When you're a guy?????"

I just laughed in return.

"Jasper! Wanna wrestle??" Emmett called from down stairs.

I rolled my eyes. Emmett had never gotten over the fact that I'd beaten him in my first year. Same way he hadn't gotten over Bella winning that arm-wrestle. In her first year. He just didn't learn, did he? Though the fact that I could still beat him was also part of that. Rather amusing actually… I suppose I could go ahead and defeat him again. But before I could open my mouth:

"Jasper!" My pixie shouted. "You better not rip those clothes or so help me I'll make sure you'll regret it! Change into something last season!" she was so endearing. And mad. As in crazy.

"Jasper," Edward shouted. "Don't make me tell Alice what you're thinking…"

"Shut it, Edward!" Alice and I exclaimed at the same time. I laughed quietly.

"Jasper…" Emmett whined. I sighed in annoyance. I couldn't get a moment of peace around here. Emmett yelling about something, Edward invading your thoughts, Alice always seeing your next move before you make it, etc. But I was still content. Utterly content.

"Sure, Emmett!" I finally answered. I heard him whooping downstairs and rolled my eyes again as I got up.

Emmett was waiting impatiently at the bottom of the steps. I walked out the door with Emmett on my heels. I turned and faced him, extending my arms in welcome and raising an eyebrow. He grinned in anticipation and lunged at me. I ducked swiftly and delivered a round kick to the head.

He jumped at me again but I dodged him. This continued for several minutes, until finally I snapped his arms behind his back and threw him down onto the floor.

"Dang it, Jasper! I want a rematch!" Emmett growled in frustration. I smirked in reply.

"You're never gonna learn, are you bro?" I asked teasingly.

Emmett growled in response. I laughed and leapt lightly off of him. He stood up and brushed himself off, glaring at me. I sighed and Alice flitted to my side.

"You know, Emmett. It really isn't a great idea to constantly challenge Jasper. You just get humiliated every time…" she stated coyly.

Emmett stuck his tongue out at her in response. Alice rolled her eyes and leaned against me. I laughed at the sibling banter and kissed Alice on the head softly. Life was good. We were content.

Well, hope you all liked! As for the title name, it's a tie between Stronger Than Death and The Lover, The soldier, And The Mistress. I'll give you all until next chapter to decide. Then I'm just gonna choose between them. Five reviews please!
