Brittle leaves snapped and swished from the smooth road as a midnight black mustang raced towards its destination in a small town called, Forks. Its occupants were listening to soft jazzy notes that faded to the backgrounds as they spoke between them.

"I could have drove, you know," Jasper sounded amused as he braced his back against the window to stare at his mate.

"Pssh, you did all of the preplanning and you are on vacation," Harry brushed off like he wasn't on vacation as well.

"And you're not?" Jasper intoned blandly watching as Harry squirmed in his seat.

"Nope, I am your servant to pamper you my liege," Harry winked after regained his composure.

"Oh really Jeeves?" Jasper snickered and bit his lip until a thumb gentle released his lower lip and softly caressed it; Jasper placed a tiny kiss on the thumb before saying, "Are you sure you just didn't want to drive the 'stang?"

Throwing his head back in laughter, Harry's eyes crinkled as he spoke, "Alright you got me."

Jasper smiled softly, "You have nothing to be nervous about you know."

"I'm not nervous, who said I'm nervous?" Harry snorted and drummed his fingers against the steering wheel glasses glinting in the light.

"Love, you only want to do everything for me when you are nervous," Jasper stated as if it was obvious.

"Do not," Harry rebutted, shifting in his seat.

"Do too, remember when you spoke to me about the job offer that you mysteriously set up and it took you a week to tell me? No? So you don't remember bringing me three cups of tea a day and blood biscuits all the time? Or that you wouldn't let me touch the dishes or laundry and you wouldn't let me go anywhere by myself?" Jasper listed enjoying his mate squirm. He knew that Harry went into a mother henning/over protective mood when he's nervous about something.

"Nope, do not recall," Harry denied even though he did since he did it this time as well like how he bought extra provision and did all of the packing and carried the bags and brought a bottled of their tea to the front for Jasper and… "Okay, I'm just nervous that these people won't like me or someone does something to hurt you and I let loose the infamous Evans' Temper."

Jasper's eyes softened, "You mean this mysterious temper that I have yet to see?"

Even with his vampire hearing, Jasper couldn't understand what his mate just said.

"Sorry love, what was that?" Jasper drawled.

Huffing Harry answered, "I said its because you make me calm and able to focus. What I would have given to have you in school."

And with that Jasper's mind spiraled into deep naughty thoughts about desks and ties, punishments and 'detentions' and…"Jaz? Jaz?!"

"Mmm?" Jasper asked wrangling his mind back in order.

"We're approaching Forks, left or right?" Harry smirked glancing over at Jasper who looked and smelled of someone who was envisioning wicked personal things.

Swallowing some pooled venom that accumulated when his thoughts ran away with his desires, Jasper guided his wickedly smirking mate to his former home in Forks.

As they drove up to artistically designed house, sun had just set in the horizon, which was perfect as it should them give them enough time before they needed to get to the hotel room and the sleek car slowed to a stop. As Harry placed the car in park and shut the engine down, Jasper took a deep breath as he ready himself to see his family once more. Reaching for the door handle, Jasper was startled to find it opened and his mate offering his hand. Smiling Jasper took the hand and allowed his self to be pulled out of his last little bit of comfort.

"Ready darling?" Harry asked taking his glasses off to look into Jasper's eyes willing Jasper to know, just one word, even just one look and they would leave if he wanted too and Jasper felt ready to take on the world.

Jasper smirked and drawled, "Ready darlin'."

After Harry replaced his glass Jasper began pulling his mate by his hand, as he made his way to the front door. With one last steady breath and he twisted the knob to go inside.

As he opened the door, Jasper noted that the lights were on and everyone was seated on the couches or love chairs spread in the living room as if they were …waiting…on…them…Damn, he had forgotten that Alice was a seer. He didn't tell Esme when they were going to show up as he wasn't sure if his mate wanted some time alone in the hotel room or not, he should have known that Alice would have seen their arrival.

Jasper noted that as Carlisle stood to welcome him, they all stood but Alice who rushed to him and tried to bowl him over, but all it did was knock him into his mate and freeze him as an onslaught of emotions rammed into him. Something that he hasn't had to deal with in a while and was unprepared for the intensity that touch brought. Back home only close friends and family touched one another and you usually had plenty of warning.

"If you could please remove yourself from my mate," Harry drawled out his glass glinting just right as he subtly weaving his hand between Alice and him as he pulled Jasper more firmly against his chest, giving Jasper the time to calm and steady his self once more.

Alice reared back as if struck and began a slew of apologies before Jasper waved his hand, "It's alright, it's just been awhile since I've been around people who don't know how to marshal their emotions."

Harry leaned forward and nuzzled Jasper's ear while Carlisle spoke, "I do apologize Jasper its just we have missed you. Although I am curious to where you have been where people can control their emotion that they do not affect you?"

"It's standard practice and considered polite company where we live," Harry drawled channeling his inner Slytherin.

Jasper snorted slightly and whispered for only his mate to hear, "Then you must be uncouth and rakish."

Harry winked and said, "Hush you. Now introduce us love."

Smiling Jasper began introductions, "My love, Carlisle is the coven leader is the one who just spoke, next to him is his mate Esme. The two on the oversized chair is Rosalie and Emmett, who are also mated and the three on the couch starting with female in black hair is Alice then Bella and finally Edward mate status unknown. Cullen Coven this is my mate, Harry Potter."

Jasper couldn't help the small smidge of satisfaction as he watched the three squirm on the couch when he announce that he didn't know their mating status.

His mate raised a brow before tilting his head, "Charmed."

"Please sit," Esme gestured to a love seat, "I want to know all about this mysterious man that captured Jasper's heart."

"Thank you Esme and I'm not really that mysterious, I work an early morning job, pay my bills, and try to spoil Jasper. Boring really," Harry explained as he helped Jasper sit before taking his own seat smiling when Jasper quietly thanked him.

"Well you seem very gentleman-y, I hope you remember that Jasper is a man and commanded his own army," Alice remarked snidely.

"I love that he is a man and I know very well that he can take care of himself, you should just ask my twin brothers. Its just that my friend's grandmother installed manners into us and a cane world rapped across our knuckles if we didn't adhere to them," Harry explained thinking fondly of those summers spent with Neville and his Gran.

He felt a gentle poking on his occulamncy shield and ignored it for now, you know manners and all.

"Oh my, how terrible!" Esme gasped at the thought of anyone being punished that way still.

"No, no it was quite alright, my friend, her grandson, and I only had our knuckles slapped twice. We were very good students , it just instilled deeply now. However I believe Jasper deserves any and all kinds of pampering I can give him. Alas if only he would let me carry him," Harry playful feigned distress, winking at his mate who rolled his eyes at him but smiled endearingly to him.

"Take note Emmett," Rosalie told her mate smirking, "I for one, am happy that Jasper is finally getting what he deserves."

"Rosalie," Esme reprimanded, they did not need to being getting to this, Jasper finally came home, even if it is for a visit.

"What? I can't say how happy I am, that he is being treated right and not being lied to? You're not being lied to right Jaz?" Rosalie stared Harry straight in the eyes well as best as she could with light glaring off of his lenses.

"No I am not," Jasper answered amused and slightly bewildered.

"Good," Rosalie nodded once she just wanted her once twin happy. He deserved someone who thought he was the world, like Emmett did for her.

Esme sighed, "Anywho, what have you been doing Jasper as you seem in better spirits."

"Getting laid, does that to a man," Emmett joked and flinched slightly expecting a jab from a sharp bony elbow. When one didn't come, Emmett glanced at his mate only to see her grin at the jab at Alice. Relaxing Emmett was ready for banter, however a sharp, "Emmett!" came from Esme.

Jasper smiled and laughed, "That it does brother, that it does, but in all seriousness since meeting Harry, where I knocked him down, my life has changed and I feel freer and more in control. Thanks darlin'."

"Anytime luv," Harry winked before settling his arm behind Jasper on the couch.

"I'm happy for you Jasper. So what have you been in the spare time?" Esme asked determined to have a nice conversation.

"I'm a teacher at one of the local colleges," Jasper answered proudly, it had taken some time to learn a good portion of the Magical World's history but he did it and now he was Professor. It helped that it was fascinating and the administration encourages Jasper to read and borrow any tome he wants.

"Is that safe?" Bella spoke, gaining the attention from all of the vampires, "I mean last time, you guys moved when I accidentally sliced my finger and Jasper nearly lost control."

"When you have a proper anchor and help, anything is possible. In my love's case, he just needed support from his true mate," Harry easily answered grabbing Jasper's hand and bringing his knuckles in for a kiss.

Jasper felt like his heart fluttered as he contributed, "It also helps that I am teaching other creatures."

"Other creatures? You mean vampires and shifters?" Carlisle asked his curiosity getting the better of him.

"No, I mean Vampires, Werewolves, Veela, Wizards and others," Jasper answered easily enough.

"Jasper are you well, you know there is only vampires and shifters," Alice asked gently concerned for him.

"Is that so Alice? And what do you know of the world?" Harry asked in a way that one would talk to a young child.

"I know enough," Alice snapped, not liking this guy, she was older than him, it was him who doesn't know anything and was indulging Jasper in his fantasy.

"Then you know nothing. The world is large and filled with dangerous things that go bump in the night. Things that even the most harden veteran has shook in fear," Harry began only to be interrupted.

"I find that hard to believe, we are the monsters that bump in the night," Edward said hatefully.

"In my world, turned vampires are not even registered as top of the food chain," Harry grinned shark-like, "how can a muggle turned vampire be truly dangerous when they are so wrapped in their own petty world when thing that can suck a person's soul out exists?"

"If this world is true, then how does Jasper fit in? He is exactly how you described but even then he is broken," Alice gasped when she heard what came out of her mouth, she hadn't meant to reveal that. Damn that man.

"Alice!" came the sharp reprimanded not only from Esme but from Carlisle as well. Rosalie sneered and Emmett glared.

Jasper's fist clenched and turned away while Harry's gaze harden as he subtly shifted so Jasper was out of her sight.

"If he is broken, then I am shattered," ignoring Jasper's soft, 'no you are not', Harry continued coldly, "In my world, everything can kill you and being ignorant will get you torn apart. Jasper is not merely a turned vampire. He is a well-respected vampire who is valued for his knowledge not only in history but that of war and war tactics. Many of the older vampires, seek him out so they can meet with Vampire War Legend. He has held his own in the few mock fights that our world holds every few months. He is causing people to rethink their thoughts about muggle turned creatures. However I see he is the exception."

"And what about you? If he is all those things, what makes you special to be his mate?" Alice questioned almost bitterly, even though she has found her mates, she was still frustrated that she couldn't have helped Jasper more. It felt like she had failed and this new guy, his mate was rubbing it in her face.

"Me? I am merely a boring vampire who happened to run into this amazing man and showed him how exceptional he is," Harry waved off.

"No you are not," Bella spoke.

"Of course not, but why should I tell you who am I. You should just be happy that Jasper is living a life happy," Harry countered leaning back against the couch and began to play with the hairs on Jasper's nape, relaxing him somewhat.

"What are you hiding?" Edward finally spoke, "I can't get a read on you. You carry yourself as high society but yet you are wearing just jeans and a button –up. You scream dangerous to me but you try casting yourself as a boring human. You are also somehow shielding your thoughts. So what are you hiding?"

"Edward really!" Esme has just about had enough from those three. They were warned to be on their best behavior especially after she learned the truth about them being mates and keeping it from poor Jasper.

"Once again, why should I tell you?" Harry goaded causing Jasper to smirk as he settled against him.

"Because you could be a threat to Jasper," Alice grounded out. She cared for Jasper really she did and she wished they had handled things better, but if this man was really his mate then she wanted Jasper away from him. Not only did she not like him but he was dangerous.

"How could I be a threat, when I have been nothing but upfront with him and showed him a whole new world?" Harry countered causing Emmett to snicker and Rosalie's lips to twitch.

"Should I close my eyes," Jasper teased, poking Harry in the side.

"Don't you dare," Harry smiled and winked.

"Enough!" Edward stood and roared, "Just tell us what you are hiding!"

The room stilled and Edward felt like taking it back but he stood firm. He was tired of this jester, even when the man stood and slowly stepped toward him.

"What I am hiding? I am hiding years of freakishness, I am hiding years of harshly learned lessons, I am hiding years of battles with fearsome creatures, I am hiding years of betrayals. I am hiding that am a war hero and a war monger. I am hiding battle scars and memories of loved ones dying. I am hiding that I am a born vampire, the first one in over a hundred years. I am hiding that I know more about your coven than you do. I am hiding that where I come from I have a most political power. I am hiding what I am capable of because Jasper cares for you," Harry spat as if it was vile that Jasper cared him glasses clear for once allowing the blazing emerald fire to shine through causing Edward shiver involuntary.

"So yes, I am hiding things as all breathing creatures do. Like you do all the time. Why didn't you tell Jasper like a man that Alice was your mate when they first showed up? Why didn't you tell Bella that you are coward and forced your coven to move several times because you couldn't handle the pressure. Just like when you left the coven because you couldn't handle the peacefulness and rule of Carlisle and fed on humans?" Harry asked before whirling on Alice who stood up reading to say something.

"You! Do not get me started little seer. The secrets you hold can be detrimental," Harry growled before stalking over to his mate who stood as well when Harry began to reveal truths shocked at how long he had been lied to, "Now it is late, and I would prefer to rest in our own abode. We'll see you tomorrow."

Everyone watched as Harry stormed out of the house with Jasper a mere step behind.

"Are you happy Alice?" Rosalie snidely asked as she too stood and beckoned her own mate towards their room. She hoped Jasper will not to judge them all on their actions and talk his mate around to them. She already liked the man just by seeing how worked up he had gotten over Jasper.

Esme sighed morosely, she slowly got up and went to her studio, she was tired of all of the fighting. She just couldn't understand those two or rather three with Bella included.

Carlisle remained silent as he process what had just happened. He looked over at the three still left on the couch looking cowed and shocked. Their own blindness and inaction has caused hurt in those who cared them. Shaking his head, Carlisle sought out his wife to comfort her.

Jasper was silent as they drove unsure how to proceed as he has finally seen the temper, his mate joked about. Should he talk and calm his mate down or let his mate calm down on his own. As he was debating on the action he should take, Jasper heard his mate exhale slowly and run a hand through his hair.

"I'm sorry."

Jasper snapped his head to look at his mate. What did he have to be sorry for? He did nothing wrong!

"Why darlin'? You did nothing wrong," Jasper reassured reaching out a hand to grasp.

Harry grabbed Jasper hand bringing it to his lips, after a moment, he spoke, "I shouldn't have lost my temper. And I shouldn't have just left. I apologize I didn't want to ruin this for you."

"My love, you haven't ruined anything. You switched topics away from yourself. You tried to make small talk with them. You were perfect. Although you didn't have tell them those things about me though," Jasper teased smiling.

"Why not," Harry asked affronted, "I am so proud of you, that I could brag to everyone about you. Hell, Nev teases me about it."

Jasper felt as if he could have blushed, "Well I am just as proud of you as you are of me. I love you."

Harry smiled and brought Jasper's knuckles once more to his lips whispering, "I love you, too."

Jasper smiled and leaned against his love as they drove to their hotel just on the outskirts of Forks.

As the sun began to reach its peak our two mates laying nude under the covers on the bed. Jasper was pulled close and tucked under Harry's chin wrapped securely as his own arms were snaked around Harry's body and their legs a tangled mess. Harry brushed a soft kiss to the golden curls before tipping Jasper's face up for a reverent kiss, caressing not only his lips but his fingers dancing and stroking Jasper back in a leisurely time.

Slowly pulling back with one last nip, Harry smiled and nuzzled his face in Jasper's hair falling dead to the world. Jasper chuckled as his feline of a mate nuzzled him before slipping into his 'vampire' sleep. It still amuses him that the legends of the born vampires were real to some extent. While the sun's ray couldn't hurt him, it causes Harry to become itchy and during the peak of the day he became lethargic and almost always dropped into a slumber so deep that the first time it happened, Jasper thought his mate had died. It was amazing that born vampires still needed to rejuvenate theirs bodies by slumber. Granted that it wasn't a long slumber, usually around 3 to 4 hours but still it was quite the shock to learn.

Curling in deeply, Jasper smiled, happy to have this time with his mate with nothing between them no clothes, no glasses, just them as they were with scars and all. He treasured these few hours as he was generally teaching during this time and rarely able to be with his slumbering mate.

That evening…

Esme was carefully pruning her flowers when she heard a vehicle coming up the driveway. Frowning she replaced her tools and changed her outfit into one more fit for visitors just as the car pulled in. Waiting in the entrance for the doorbell to ringing, Esme was surprised to Jasper and his mate Harry walking through once more!

"Jasper! Oh my goodness, you are back!" Esme gushed pulled Jasper into a hug.

Jasper flinched minutely rush of emotions once more but hugged her back, "Well, I do need my stuff and I wanted to talk with you and Carlisle as well Rose and Em some more."

Esme released him from the hug laughing and pulled his mate into a hug as well smiling when Harry went shocked stiff before relaxing and returning the hug briefly,

"Well, well, well look who the cat drug back," Emmett boomed coming in from the kitchen.

"Hey Emmett," Jasper waved and smiled as he felt Harry slip a hand into his pants pocket.

"Don't let what those three do affect your thoughts on us Jasper," Rosalie strode into the room demanding Jasper.

"I won't. I know you better, you were my twin," Jasper winked laughing.

"Good, now I've packed up your room for you. I was just so angry last night I needed something to do and Emmett begged off," Rosalie said waving her hand.

Harry choked a bit as he was used to his own friends sense of humor but he had judged Rosalie to be more …proper? Refined?

Jasper snickered and clapped Harry on the back before teasing Emmett, "Aw, poor Emmett."

"Hey, until you have a tiger in bed, I don't want to hear it!" Emmett seriously but jokingly said.

Harry coughed and looked around, while Jasper merely smiled, "I'm pretty sure Harry could relate. Isn't that right, darlin'?"

"Hmm? Yes dear," Harry parroted making everyone laugh.

"Alright enough dears, I want to hear more about Jasper teaching," Esme cut in, ushering everyone to sit.

"It's slightly boring, I mean I teaching vampire history, US History, and War History. Although there was this time when one of my students thought it would be funny to bring in a prank blood pop," Jasper began filling his family in on his life while his mate sat beside him smiling and encouraging.

It wasn't until Carlisle came back from his swing shift at the hospital when the small group realized how the time had flown.

"Well hello everybody," Carlisle greeted dropping his briefcase near the door.

"Hello dear, Jasper was just entertaining us with some stories that he and his mate have gotten up to," Esme explained standing to greet her own mate.

"That sounds exciting, don't stop on my behalf," Carlisle joked walking over to his mate, placing a kiss on her lips before settling down next to her.

"I was just explaining when Harry decided to visit me at school before heading home and caused quite a few heartbreaks. You see Harry here, had been pictured on several magazines as the hottest bachelor in the Wizarding World and I had been apparently known in the school as the sexiest teacher. So imagine my students surprise when the Harry Potter walks in and pulls me in a kiss as I was lecturing on Vampire Customs 101. He turned and looked at each the students in class and growled, 'There. He's mine. No Touchy or Feely,' and left the same way," Jasper shared mirth dancing in his eyes as he watched his mate squirm once more.

"Well what was I supposed to do? You came home every night telling me, one of those chits tried to cop a feel," Harry defended himself, much to the amusement of the others in the room.

"You were perfect darlin'," Jasper smiled leaning to kiss his mate.

Esme just smiled so happy that her family was smiling and talking with each other. She hoped that eventually the other three will come around and they could all be together, but for right now this was enough. She knew that Jasper and his mate had their lives back in England, but she knew that Jasper would come back and visit. And who knew, maybe their next destination will be England as it is really cloudy over there.
