A/N: So I wanted to get this chapter out before this weekend was over. I'm not sure if I will update again until next weekend but I am going to try my best. I wanted to thank you again for the reviews, not as many as I had hoped but all that matters is I am enjoying myself writing this story. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. It might be a little sloppy because it is nearly one in the morning were I'm from but it is still good. This chapter will let you in on more of what is to come.

Brand New Day By Joshua Radin


The drive back from Forks was a lot better than the drive there. I finally felt like things were going to be okay. Better than okay. I didn't leave right after they took Alice, I instead stayed for dinner and to pack a few more of Lucy and Is things up to take with me to Seattle.

Lucky for me it was summer and Lucy wasn't going to be starting school for awhile so I hopefully wasn't going to have to enroll her until Alice was out of rehab.

I was planning on moving to Seattle, I wasn't sure if that's what Alice wanted, but it's what I wanted, and I was going to put me first for once. She would just have to agree or stay in Forks with her parents.

I decided I wanted to go house hunting as soon as possible. I thought it might help Lucy with all the things that have been going on lately to have a place she could call home. And what better than your own home. And sense Lakeveiw was in Seattle I thought it would be better to be near Alice and all her doctors. Carlisle was going to help me with the deposit on the house, I tried to decline his offer at first because he was already helping me with the money for college but he was to damn insistent.

His final words on the subject were 'Son, if you don't take my granddaughter and go look for your family a house, I will. And I know for a fact that what I pick out will be much bigger than what you will want.' I'm pretty sure he was telling the truth to. That is just something he would do. He said that the only reason he has all the money he has is to take care of his family.

So what did I do, I finally excepted the money after him excepting my promise to pay it back. He sure didn't like it though. Esme was really sad I wanted to move away, she was going to miss her grand baby, but she knew it was what was best for us. She knew it was best for Alice to have a clean slate when she got out of rehab. She needed a fresh environment to live in.

It was four in the afternoon by the time they took Alice back to Seattle. I wish I could have done it but the doctors said that it would be better that she goes with the counselor. That's why we planned the whole intervention in the first place, because we weren't sure if she would even get in the car to go with one of us, well not unless it was forced. It was probably best this way. I don't know if I could handle the depressing ride back with her.

Getting back to Bella's apartment was a relief. I was so happy to be back and see my little girl. I'm sure she was in bed by now but I could still go in and give her kiss. I quietly shut and locked the door behind me before making my way down the hall to the quest room where I know my baby would be crawled up on the bed sleeping.

After giving her a kiss I decided to go let Bella know I arrived home alright. Knowing Bella she probably waited up as long as she could for me. I knocked on the outside of her door lightly before entering. "Bella." I called to her but there was no answer. I strolled over to the bed where she was asleep and sat down next to her.

"Bella, I'm home safe." I lightly rubbed her back.

She opened her eyes slightly to look up at me. After seeing me she got what looked like a concerned look on her face. "You okay?"

"I think I'm going to be, why don't you go back to sleep, will talk in the morning."

"I can't sleep now that your home, I was worried about you, and Alice. My dad say's she handle everything a lot better than you all thought."

"Your dad came to see you. I bet Lucy loved that." I smiled.

"I didn't know they were so close. She even calls him Grandpa C. I didn't know he was so cute with little kids either. He came right after he dropped of Alice and got here right in time to read her a bedtime story." She looked a little sad but tried to cover it up with a forced smile.

"You should talk to your dad more Bella." She slightly nodded her head, more for her own acknowledgment than mine. "He comes to dinner at the Cullen's a few times a month, Luc looks forward to him coming."

"Wow, I only talk to him about once a month so she has me beat. I was actually surprised he showed up here tonight."

"Well, I know for a fact he misses you, whenever he comes to dinner he can't stop talking about how well your doing and how proud of you he is. You should see him, Alice….." I stopped talking right than, I wasn't sure if I should say that Alice goes all crazy when he brings her up or that it drives her to drink.

I didn't want to hurt her feelings but it killed Alice when she heard about how great Bella was doing. In a way I think she was jealous that she was doing so well, she thought that meant there friendship didn't mean anything to Bella. She was mad that Bella didn't hurt as much as her because of it.

"I hurt to Jazz, she just doesn't see it, she never saw it."

"I know."

I sat and talked with Bella for another hour before heading to bed. We made plans to go house hunting tomorrow after she got done with her class. We mostly talked about what she had been up to the last few years. She never visited Charlie in Forks so it was nice just being able to lay there and listen to her face to face. I really missed her. Having both been a part of Alice we became a part of each other. So in a way I felt like I also lost a part of me when she moved away.

I felt like it was mine and Alice's fault she didn't come home to visit her dad. When ever he did come over on those nights for dinner I could barely look him in the eyes. I felt ashamed. I hoped that maybe Bella would be able to fix her relationship with Alice and than she would actually go visit her dad. I knew he wanted her to. I could see in his eyes how much he missed her.

I found it quite cute when she shyly asked about Edward. From what she told me about all the recent dates she's been on, she was in need of a good one. All the guys she's dated sounded like a rule tools. There was this guy Mike that sounded the worst. She said he never stopped talking and the only thing he did talk about was himself, and he tried way to hard to be cool.

And than at the end of the date he through himself at her like she was a piece of food. She was going to give him a kiss on the cheek but instead he decided to shove his tongue in her mouth and gag her to death. I felt really bad for her, she was so beautiful she deserved more than these ass whole's she has been going out with.

I let her know that Edward was a god compared to all of the guys she has been out with and that I would be sure to call him tomorrow and see how his moving plans were going. I knew he was suppose to be at Esme and Carlisle fourth of July party coming up in a couple weeks but I was hoping he would be here sooner than that.

Maybe that would be a good way I could get Bella to Forks.

I felt really good waking up the next morning, it felt like a new start to a whole new beginning. I think a lot of it had to do with the exceedingly great smell that was coming from the kitchen. I jumped up, through on a shirt, and sprinted towards the delicious aroma. There sitting on the table was the breakfast of champions. There were eggs, bacon, muffins, and coffee.

"Daddy." I pulled Lucy up in my arms for a big hug. "I helped Miss Bella make breakfast." She beamed.

I looked over at Bella to see her sitting on the counter grinning behind her mug of coffee. I sat Lucy back down on the ground and made my way over to Bella. "Thank you." I said kissing her on the forehead.

"So Luc, Pop Pop thinks we should get a house in Seattle to be close to mommy, what do you think?" I said sitting at the table next to her. I knew she knew we were going to be here for awhile, but I didn't think she knew I wasn't planning on going back to Forks. "You can help pick it out, I know mommy will like what you pick out."

"Are we leaving Nana and Pop Pop, Nana will be sad." she frowned.

"When ever Nana gets sad you can go and have a sleepover with her." She smiled. I knew she would like the sleepover idea. "Besides, when mommy gets better she is going to need a place where she can be close to her doctors."

"Okay daddy, we can move, but I get to pick the color of my room this time."

I laughed "Well than we better paint it before your mother is better or you will have no say in what color your room is." She giggled. She knew how Alice was about things like that. Even at six she knew how the quilt trips worked.

The rest of the morning me and Lucy finished getting ready so we could go house hunting. She was worse than Alice when it came to style. She would never were anything but dresses or skirts and she probably had more shoes than Alice and I put together. She loved accessories, especially bracelets. And she couldn't go anywhere unless her hair had a bow in it.

That would explain why I have been sitting here trying to fix her hair for the past half hour. "NO, not like that dad, you have to do it like this." God, this is when I needed Alice. Here my daughter is trying to explain to me how to do her hair and then there is me looking as oblivious as ever. I wasn't understanding a damn thing she was saying. Twist this, put this there, I think I was going to go nuts if I had any more daughters, especially ones as high maintenance as Lucy.

"And why can't you do this buy your self, you seem to know what your doing."

"I can't see the back of my hair dad." She looked at me like I was a total idiot.

"Can't you just leave it down, I like it down."

"No, I don't want it down, I want it braided."

"What's going on in here?" THANK GOD. I turned to give Bella a pleading look.

"You see, this little girl right here is worse than her mother, she seems to think she needs these twisty, turny, knots in her hair and….."

"Braids?" I nodded my head. "I can do it, why don't you go sit down Jazz you look a little stressed" I through my hands in the air and ran out of the room happy to still be alive.

As soon as they got out of the room I noticed that my daughters hair was not in what she called braids. She left it down. "What know?"

"I decided I didn't like my braids so I found my headband instead." I gave Bella a questioning look. She just smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Holly hell." That child was defiantly going to be the death of me. And soon.

We decided that we would make a stop at the local Realtor that Carlisle suggested before we did anything else. There were a few house's they told us about that I knew were a definite no, but there were a few others that sounded like they would be safe to look at.

The first house we looked at was a really old fashioned white siding house, there was nice screened in front porch with a wooden floor. The living room was very spacious with a hardwood floors that led into the kitchen and another sitting area. The rooms were a bit tiny but manageable for the price there was a lot of space that we could add on to if we had to in the future. I liked the house but I wasn't sure if Alice would, so I chose to keep looking.

She was the one that stayed home with Lucy so I wanted her to love it.

The second house the lady showed us was horrible. The floor plan was horrible, the location was horrible, the price was horrible, everything was so horrible Bella insisted we leave and that we didn't even care to look through the whole house.

But the third and finale house was perfect. It was so Alice. There was a cobble stone walk way that led to a rap around porch and a huge cherry wood front door. But the inside is what I knew Alice would love the most. The kitchen was huge with rustic looking appliances and hard wood floors, it over looked an even bigger family room. The whole floor plan was open, which I knew was Alice's main concerns. She always said if we ever bought a house she would want a open floor plan with huge windows.

The huge windows were definitely another plus. There were four bedroom including the master bedroom and each bedroom had there own walk in closet. But the thing that made my decision was the finished basement/Bonus room. I was already planning a theater room before I even signed the papers.

"When were you planning to buy, because I have to say this house will not be on the market long, the owner has to hurry and sell so he only wants a little more than what he owes on it, your actually really lucky to be the first people to see it, I am sure it would have only lasted a day or two." I thought about what she said before answering.

"Why is he in a hurry to sell, if you don't mind me asking?"

"He has to move out of the country on business, he just bought this house as an investment, but know with him having to move so soon he is just trying to get rid of it quickly. He owns his own business, so money really isn't a problem for him."

"How much does he want?" I was thinking a house like this would be close to a half a million.

"Your going to freak when I tell you this but he only wants three hundred thousand." My mouth fell open and Bella had to reach up and close it.

ARE YOU SHITTING ME? Only that much, that was so fucking cheap for a house like this. Especially in this area. I looked over at Bella to see her nodding her head. "Alice will love it."

"Can we have it daddy? Please." Lucy was jumping up and down out of excitement.

"Will take it."

I called Carlisle before leaving the house. I told him about what a great deal I found. 'You know money is not a problem Jasper' was the only thing he said about that. The down payment he was planning was way more than what I expected. Not that I should have expected anything less. He was probably being generous by not paying the whole house off. I know he probably would have, but he knew how much I was trying to be a man and take care of my own family.

I put a lot in savings the past few years, enough to pay for Alice's rehab, something I would not budge on. Carlisle wanted to pay but I put my foot firmly down on that one. I also had enough to last me the rest of the summer until Lucy was in school when I could get a full time job.

Esme, being more of the responsible book keeper was happy about the deal and was already making arrangements to come to Seattle to bring the rest of our stuff. Our stuff including Alice's. She also had to sign a check over and be a co signer on the house. I already knew Esme was going to love the house. She was just like Alice and I knew she was going to want to get her hands on the decorating as soon as possible.

I had to make sure to tell her that she couldn't decorate until I told Alice about the house, and made sure it was okay with her. I had a really good feeling that Alice would be okay with this whole moving thing. At first I was a little scared that she would not want to move with me, but after seeing the house I know she is going to love the idea.

When we got done with the Relater we decided to head back to Bella's so she could fix us an early dinner, late lunch. Lucy insisted on helping her in the kitchen again and I took it as my chance to sneak away and call Edward. We were pretty good friends, being family and all, so I knew my call wouldn't be much of a surprise to him. Him and Alice were really close, I am sure he would like to here how things are going with her. If he hadn't already.

I picked up my phone, pushing send when I got to his name. "Hello?"

"Hey Edward, it's Jasper."

"Hey man, what's up? I heard what happened yesterday, you okay?" He sounded genuinely concerned.

I told him a little about what happened even though I knew he probably heard the whole thing from his mom already. I told him about mine and Alice's talk we had in her room, and how she was so scared she wasn't going to get better. We talked a little about how big Lucy was getting, and how she was taking the whole ordeal. Edward wanted to be a pediatrician so he was interested in how she was handling it.

"So when are you moving, you got your flight booked yet?"

"Actually, I'm leaving in a few days. I'm going to come find an apartment close to campus and than my mom is going to ship my things out. She's not to happy about me moving out there but I know she'll get use to it. She might even end up moving out there, she really won't have much left after I'm gone." I frowned a little at the thought of Elizabeth being left alone in Chicago.

"You know, a really good friend of mine has a three bedroom apartment right next to the campus, she did say something about renting a room if you were willing."

"She?" I heard him gulp on the other side. He always was nervous with the lady's. The last few years when he came to Forks to visit we would always try to hook him up with one of our friends, he would always decline. I think he'd only been out a few times in Chicago but it never went anywhere beyond friendship. I thought it was just him being shy but he said he really wasn't interested in dating unless it was with the right girl, I guess he hadn't found her yet. Maybe that is why he decided to move out here.

Maybe Bella could be his perfect girl, like Alice is to me. "She's really cool. You guys will be going to the same college. She's majoring in English Lit. You guys actually have a lot in common, so you would get along great."

"I wouldn't mind sharing an apartment, it would save on money but................I don't know the girl, I would have to meet her first."

"Why don't you grow some balls and call her than, she's actually expecting you to." Not for the same reason as you think, but she was expecting your call. I would just have to talk to Bella about it. I know she wouldn't mind the company.

I rattled of the number to him and made sure he promised to call before hanging up and heading to the kitchen to see what I could do to help with dinner.


A/N: I could have kept going with this chapter but I had to stop out off loss of focus. Like I said it's late and I am incredibly tired. But, I do want to know what you all think of this chapter. Also, I said this would be mostly Jasper's POV (which it will) but, I was wondering if you all would like a little of B/E? I kind of have some stuff I wanted to write with them. As you can see I made Edward a bit of the shy one instead of Bella. I like that when I see that in story's, you always see the shy Bella. But it's up to you all, I could just write there relationship from an outsiders perspective, like Jasper's.

Thanks for reading. Next up we will find out what's going on in the life of Alice. Already written, just needs a few adjustments.
