CHAPTER 2

This was the only time since I'd met her that I cursed Alice for her short stature. How could you hide behind someone so tiny? Four pairs of topaz eyes, and a pair of brown ones, stared at me in total shock. Edward was conflicted, but keeping whatever surprise he felt repressed. He was in my head, he knew how terrible I felt about slipping up again. Bella hadn't even caved, and she was only a year and a half old in this life. Even worse, Alice hadn't seen it, so she couldn't have stopped me. She must have just seen as I caught the scent, that's how she and Carlisle got there when they did…

"Jasper, what the hell!" Rose exclaimed. "You'd think that after so many years dealing with newborns you'd know not to create any!"

This just pissed me right off. I did my best to make her feel intimidated.

"That wasn't my intent, Rose! Dear old Dad just decided that these two were worth saving, for some reason, and now here we are!"

Everyone looked more shocked than before, especially Carlisle. I'd never spoken of him in that way. I projected more calm onto everyone, until the awkward silence was broken by Renesmee, tiny compared to all of us, only a year and a half old but physically closer to twelve.

"What's so bad about newborns, Uncle Jasper?"

Oh, right, I'd forgotten that the war with the team that Victoria had sent after Bella in some twisted revenge plot was a few months before Nessie was born.

"Well, Nessie, you know how your mom is stronger than the rest of us, right? More than Emmett, even. That's because she was just made a vampire a year and a half ago. Her blood is still reacting to the change, so she's stronger. But Bella's different than normal newborns, in that she's able to resist the scent of human blood. Most newly created vampires will just feed until they are sated, and nothing can stand in their way. Your mom's just special in that she got past all that. She didn't even attack you, and you know how lovely and human you smell. You're still part human, you know"

She rolled her eyes.

"I think I'm aware of that by now, Jasper. But are you serious? They'll be out killing people?"

"Yep." I replied, trying to calm her down. She reached for my hand, and showed me an image of red eyes, speeding towards her. I helped her feel a bit more at ease, and Bella finally spoke.

"So, if I have this right, we're now responsible for these two, right?"

"That seems to be the case, Bella." Carlisle's face was somber. I felt even worse. I hadn't even thought of the burden this would now be on my family.

"And they'll be after anything vaguely resembling human, correct?"

Carlisle nodded, his eyes widening as he realized what she was implying.

Everyone else understood at the same time too.

"Renesmee, sweetie," Edward was still getting used to being a dad, I could feel It from his apprehension. "One of us is going to have to run you back to Forks. You'll be staying with Charlie for a few days."

"That's okay, dad. I know how dangerous it could be… And hey, I get to see Jake!"

Edward growled slightly. He'd fought Jacob Black for Bella, he wasn't going to surrender his daughter without reluctance.

"So, who gets the honor of running me home?" The little girl's brown eyes gazed at each of us in turn, settling finally on her mother.
"I guess it's me then," Bella said, "I'm still the fastest anyway, aren't I?" She grinned at Emmett.

"I'll challenge you to a race when you get back, baby sister." He said, clapping her on the shoulder as he did so.

"Okay, well, I guess we'd better go now then, I want to be here to help out when those two wake up." Bella said, as she picked up Renesmee and dashed off into the woods.

I realized the only one who still hadn't spoken was Esme. I was shocked that I hadn't already felt the deep disappointment from her, it was hitting me like a blast of radiation from a nuclear bomb.

"Jasper, my dear… So many years without a slip…."

I sighed.

"I know, Esme. I'm sorry, I really am. I'll take the responsibility of looking after these two once they wake up."

Only then did I notice that Emmett and Carlisle were beside me, carrying the bodies of the young man and woman I had attacked. I actually saw their faces clearly for the first time.

The man was about twenty five or so, with dyed blue hair halfway down his face, and pale skin. He was a little chubby, but in a way that I imagined could be endearing. The girl… Well, underneath the dried blood from my attack, she seemed pale as well, although I could see traces of freckles all over her face and exposed arms. She had shoulder-length, wavy red hair, and was most definitely attractive. She was young as well, about twenty-one, I thought.

"According to their ID's, these are Damien and Arden Frost, newlyweds from Victoria. Ages 26 and 22, respectively. They're yours for the next while, Jasper, we should probably get them somewhere a bit more secluded." Carlisle explained, calmly.

I was in for a long decade.
