A/N: I just wanted to quick thank everyone who reviewed. Also when I realized the date was Bella's Birthday so I thought I should update. But me being me I am late, by like 6 hours cause I was busy typing/editing two, count that TWO chapters. So ya I have been awake since nine am and it is now 6 am (of course though if I didn't procrastinate maybe I would have gotten it on Bella's B-day and not be up this late, but oh well), so right after this i am going to bed. Anyways, Enjoy!

Jasper PoV

She fell asleep and I tried moving my arm out of her grip but if I moved so did she. I sighed, giving up, and laid back down as she tightened her grip. I started thinking of when she was staring at me. She was having so many emotions going on at once. She was sad of course, afraid, lonely, worried, even slightly depressed, but she also had a very small amount of her being content. She must just be glad that I didn't leave her alone. But as I looked in her eyes I felt something different. I wanted to stay with her before she even asked me to stay.

I watched her sleep in a ball. All the sudden she started getting scared. She furrowed her eyebrows and she started mumbling things even I couldn't understand. She was squirming and I heard her say, "No, Edward… please…please don't…not again… I love you… don't leave me..."

I tried to send her calming waves but it wasn't working. She squeezed my arm even tighter. I put my free hand on her shoulder, rubbing soothing circles. "Shh. It's okay," I said. I tried to consol her and sent even more waves of calm but it didn't work, she was just too emotional.

I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer so I was holding her against me and she finally relaxed. After a few minutes she looked content and was peacefully sleeping.

"Mmm… Jasper," I was shocked. She said my name. I instantly felt more protective of her and more care for her. Just after hearing my name come from her lips, as she slept. Because it meant she was dreaming of me.

She drifted into a deeper sleep and slightly relaxed her arms holding mine, but it was still a tight grip. She had a few tears still on her cheek. So I gently wiped them away.

I heard the door creek open and saw Rosalie there. She quietly shut the door as I put my finger to my lips to tell her to be quiet, and I let go of Bella, going back to my side of the bed hoping she would stay peaceful.

Rosalie came by me, kneeled, and whispered quietly so that human ears wouldn't be able to hear her say, "How is she?"

"Well…" I answered at the same volume, "Truefully she's heartbroken. Can you blame her? This isn't the first time he's left her… I think she's slightly better though, now that she's sleeping." I paused, "But she won't let go of me."

Rosalie just nodded while she glanced at Bella's grip on me. "I can't believe this," She said quietly to herself. She turned back to my face, "How are you doing? You can't be doing much better. You're dealing with both of your emotions and trying to keep her calm." She asked concerned.

I sighed. "I'll be fine. She needs to relax more than I do. You should have heard her before. She was calling out for him."

Rosalie's sadness deepened. "Well at least this time she'll have us to help her though everything." She paused and smirked, "She looked pretty comfortable there in your arms before. And you looked pretty content with having her there," she giggled.

I sighed. "Rosalie, I was just trying to console her. She was squirming in her sleep." I told her.

"Well whatever gets you two though this," she said starting to get up, "You would be a cute couple." She smirked leaving the room quickly before I could say anything. Most likely going to update Esme.

I couldn't help but think what if Bella and I did get together. We understood each others pain. I looked down at her face. She wasn't smiling but the corners of her mouth were just slightly up. Like she was content. Was she content because of me? I don't know. I thought she would be worse, but maybe it hasn't fully sinked in, I mean she did faint. And I thought I would be worse. Before I was ready to lock myself in my room to be alone, now alone was the last thing I wanted to be. I wrapped my arm back around her because I was afraid she would start squirming again, but also because I wanted to feel her in my arms again. To feel her warmth against my cold body.

I figured Esme would be happy with me at least being home and not off on my own, that's why I came back. But I think maybe… just maybe my second reason of coming back was the stronger one. Bella. Sure, I loved her before, but like a sister. Now it's different, its more…was I in love with her? I'm not sure, I don't know if I'm even ready for that. I know she isn't.

"Jasper . . . Stay." Bella mumbled.

I smiled. Yes, I'm in love with Isabella Swan.
