*********************************************************************

Jasper paced his room as he waited for Carlisle to arrive home. His mind was racing with the stories he'd heard from Emmett, Edward and Alice and wondered if she was right about Emmett and Edward. Could they have just been so caught up in out doing each other that they made their stories worse than they really were or was that really the way Carlisle punished the boys of the house.

What Jasper didn't realize was that not only was he on pins and needles but the rest of the family was as well. He had been letting his emotions leak through to the rest of the house. Carlisle hadn't felt the effects in the garage, but when he came into the house he knew what was wrong and went upstairs to ease his son's nerves. He knocked on Jasper's door and asked, "Jasper, may I come in son?"

Frozen in front of his bed for moment Jasper nodded and then realized he hadn't said a thing. He blew out a deep breath and said, "Yes sir."

Carlisle opened the door and the waves of nerves hit him stronger. "Jasper, I know you're nervous son, but for the sake of the rest of our family, could you calm down a little bit? It's going to be fine. I promise," he said calmly as he closed the door behind him.

Jasper realized what his father meant and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry," he apologized. He looked at his father a moment and stated, "You're going to spank me."

It wasn't something he had expected his son to say. Carlisle nodded knowing to imply anything else would be wrong. "It's alright son. I know you're nervous, but like I said, everything's going to be fine," Carlisle said as he walked over and sat on the bed. He watched as Jasper stood where he was a few more minutes and then turned, walked over to the bed and sat next to him stiffly

He felt the arm go around his shoulder and slowly relaxed. In his mind it was now going to be ok. Alice had been right and he felt relieved and let those emotions flow out towards the others. He leaned against Carlisle and gave a huge sigh of relief.

When he felt and saw Jasper relax, Carlisle felt slightly better about what was going to happen. "Alright let's talk about what happened today. Tell me what you were thinking," he said as he patted Jasper's arm.

Jasper sat up and looked down at his hands for a minute, then looked up at Carlisle. "This morning when Alice had told us it would storm later, we all had the same idea of playing ball. Alice said that there was a chance that you might not want to play so Emmett, Edward and I figured we'd come to the hospital to make sure that you would still want to," Jasper stated.

"Since when have I ever not wanted to play ball with my family?" Carlisle asked slightly amused.

"Never," Jasper answered softly as he ducked his head.

"Right. Continue please," Carlisle said as he chuckled softly.

Hearing the chuckle from Carlisle had Jasper looking up with a small smile of his own. "Well when we got to the hospital we were going to have you paged, but Edward said you were close and that we should just go to where you were and ask. I know we should've waited but Emmett and Edward had already headed off. I could feel their pain, those people who were being taken care of. I smelled the blood then and I wanted to attack. I wasn't going to though, I hunted last night with Alice and Rosalie. I guess Edward heard my first thought and had Emmett grab me. Once outside, I wanted to prove to all of you that I was fine and that I could smell the blood and not do anything. That thought was so strong in my head, I don't know why Edward didn't say anything," Jasper said a bit frustrated.

"Hmm, I'll have to ask him about it later," Carlisle said a little puzzled himself.

Jasper nodded and continued with the last bit of the story. "I was angry at Edward for not saying anything, I was angry at Emmett because he wouldn't let go of me and I was angry with you because I felt like you didn't trust us enough to be there. I knew you were angry that we were there and that it was dangerous to be around the patients especially if we haven't hunted in a while but we were all well fed and I only had a momentary lapse. When you and Emmett grabbed me and we went over to the car, I felt the rage building in me and maybe that's why when I smelled the blood again I tried to walk off. I'd had it with Emmett when he grabbed me again so I punched him. But I did try today. If I had had a chance I know I could've proven myself to all of you that I was stronger," Jasper said breathing heavily as he finished.

Carlisle mulled things over in his head, thinking through everything Jasper had told him. Suddenly something Jasper had said caused him to ask, "Jasper why do you think you're in trouble?"

"Well because of my momentary lapse of wanting to attack the human. Isn't that why?" Jasper asked curious now.

"No, it wasn't because of that Jasper. You did try, I saw that even though your brothers may not have," Carlisle explained quietly.

Jasper looked at him and frowned slightly. "Then why? If it's not because of that?" Jasper asked.

Carlisle took a deep breath and said, "You know that Esme and I do not approve of it when you and your brothers fight," Carlisle started.

"But we're just playing when we wrestle around. Besides we weren't wrestling around anywhere today," Jasper interrupted even more confused now.

"Let me finish son, you're right that we don't mind you three playing around as long as you fix and pay for whatever was broken. What we do mind is when you fight each other because you're angry not because you're playing," Carlisle explained calmly.

"I know that you said we shouldn't fight each other because then we'd be no different than the ones were trying not to be like," Jasper said as he quoted what Carlisle had repeatedly said to them. Suddenly he looked at Carlisle and then looked away ashamed. "It's because I hit Emmett," Jasper said not even looking up.

Carlisle watched understanding fill his son's eyes and then the guilt before Jasper quickly turned from him. He placed a hand on Jasper's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. When that didn't get him a response, he said, "Jasper look at me. Son, I'm sorry you got the wrong idea of why you were in trouble, that's my fault…"

"NO!" Jasper shouted at that and whipped his head around to look at Carlisle. They could hear several pairs of feet heading their way before Jasper could say anything else.

"We're fine, please go back downstairs," Carlisle said calmly.

Once he heard everyone proceed back down stairs, Jasper looked at Carlisle. "How could any of this be your fault?" he asked.

"Son, it's my fault that you got the wrong idea about why you were in trouble. I should've made it more clear before I sent you three home. I will make sure the problem is clear next time," Carlisle said as he patted Jasper's shoulder.

"I'm not having a next time," Jasper muttered softly, but not softly enough. He heard Carlisle chuckle after he said it and couldn't help the small smile that appeared on his own face. He sobered up a moment later and stared down at his hands.

Carlisle looked at his son and asked, "Jasper is there anything else you want to say?"

Jasper looked up and asked, "What do you want me to say?"

"If you want to say anything about what has happened or what's going to happen then you are welcome to say it," Carlisle said.

"Will it change anything?" Jasper asked even though he knew it wouldn't.

"No son, it won't." Carlisle said.

Jasper nodded and was quiet for several minutes. "I am sorry for what happened today. I'll apologize to Emmett after…well afterwards," Jasper said as he tried to find the right words.

"I think that's a good idea son," Carlisle said with a small smile. He took a deep breath and asked, "Are you ready?"

"I think so, but not really," Jasper said honestly.

Carlisle nodded. He knew no one was ever ready for this to happen. He helped Jasper over his lap and watched as Jasper, like the rest of his children, buried his head in his arms. He placed one hand on his son's back and with the other delivered the first sharp smack to his son's backside.

Jasper let out a quiet gasp at that first swat. They had all told him it would hurt, he knew it was going to hurt, but to actually feel it was a different story. The next few swats had him sobbing quietly into his arms. He knew if he could actually shed tears his shirtsleeves would be completely wet by now. He could feel Carlisle's sorrow and it made him want to keep quiet so as to not cause him more.

He almost didn't hear the quiet gasp from his child, but he did and it affected him as it did every time he had to punish one of his children. He continued to bring his hand down and could hear the quiet sobbing coming from his child. He landed several more and stopped. It was over and he was glad to be done. Carlisle helped Japer to sit up and was surprised when Japer threw his arms around him and sobbed softly on his shoulder. He rubbed his son's back and said, "It's alright my son, it's over with. Take your time."

Jasper took short ragged breaths at first, that eventually became long deep breaths. He loosened his hold on Carlisle but stayed where he was. His Alice hadn't been wrong yet and he doubted she was wrong now. He sighed softly as he lay on Carlisle's shoulder.

"Something on your mind son?" Carlisle asked as he continued to rub his son's back.

"No, just glad it's over is all," he said.

"Me too, son. I'll stay as long as you want me to," Carlisle said quietly.

They stayed that was for an hour, when they both began to hear the sound of someone trying to quietly make their way to the room. Jasper pulled away slightly and smiled a little. "Alice," he said softly.

"I'll go and let you two be," Carlisle said as he stood up.

Jasper smiled. "Thank you for staying," he said softly knowing only Carlisle and Alice would hear him.

Carlisle nodded and smiled as he walked over and opened the door.
