I do not own any of twilight SM does but the plot for this story is mine. So Sorry about the husge delay (I will make your your torches and pitch forks for the delay). It was just a very tight line to walk without jumping way into the story and having it trun yo crap and seem like I lost interest in writing it and having it take forever to get moving. I hope you like what I did. I know I labled it as Alice and Charlie and a ton of you are reading this and thinking it's more Bella and Jasper. Well if you read carefully they have to hide their relationship till B and J are together. I brought in Edward and Kate knowing so Edward wouldn't be left behind and so Kate isn't just a faceless space filler and plus they help move the plot on. Seeing as this is my only story going on (because I refuse to write the others till this is done) you can nag me as much as you want to update. I encourage you actually. It makes me work harder.
Beginning the Set Up
Alice POV~
This is nerve racking, we have to get them to start talking some before she heads down to La Push for the bon fire and her own meddling in Charlie's and Billy's friendship in two weeks, which will put us at the third week of February. The key is to not be too obvious. I got it, Edward will offer to walk her to biology after lunch and I'll walk with them. Then soon after we get to know each other a little better Edward and I will invite her to sit with us at lunch.
Great, I thought coming back to reality; I'm still in French class. The rest of the day dragged, though there were some perks. I can think about Charlie when Edward is around but, if I want to when Jasper is around I have to make sure Bella is near so my emotions don't catch his attention. The other perks are that when Edward had a chance to talk about Jasper, Bella showed noticeable interest. Kate told me that when she would mention something Edward 'said' about Bella to Jasper he too showed, though he gallantly tried not to, great interest in the mahogany haired beauty that is my future daughter.
Our only problem is that we have to be careful about Rosalie hearing anything and in turn Emmett just in case he said something about it in passing that would cause her suspicion. She will be the only one to try and put up a fight. She is always so set on trying to ignore my ideas and opinions because, she found and still finds it odd that though I see him as my son that I do everything in my power to keep him a virgin. Seriously though, my little Bella will be pure for him and have the memory of her first time being with her eternal husband she should be allowed a pure husband and Jasper deserves the same memory.
It wasn't easy let me tell you Tanya and Irina are persistent little floozy's. They're my cousins and I love them but my Lord lay off of it already. They tried using his power against him by throwing lust and desire at him. Personally, considering he's an empathic vampire and, had no personal desire or want for them in that way, it would have been molestation at the least. I'm just glad that during the Southern Vampire Wars he still kept his parents teaching of not bedding anyone before marriage as was that way of that time. With that lesson in his head he turned their sexual lust and turned it into bloodlust; he even did it to that bitch Maria.
Wednesday after school while Edward, Kate and I went hunting we talked about how everything was going so far this week.
"So I had a vision. Jasper is going to grab a shirt from that bottom of her laundry basket to keep her scent with him. It'll work wanders for desensitizing him, well all of us to her scent so that when we are around her actual blood scent it won't be too hard to fight it. The best part is that he doesn't realizing what exactly this means and how good it is for his future happiness. Don't worry about her noticing it missing. I ordered a replica and tomorrow at his lunch break Charlie will run home to replace it in the hamper."
"That's great and all Alice but, what if Jasper smells your scent from when you dropped it off, when he goes back? That wouldn't be good, it could ruin everything." Kate put in sounding extremely worried. I laughed it off which earned me from her and my, so far, silent brother.
"Don't worry. I had it shipped to Charlie's office. Now onto to better subjects; Edward you're able to be there and observe first hand how she reacts to us. When do you think her and I should meet?" I asked genuinely curious seeing as he knows her better in person than I do.
"Well, I'd say either tomorrow or Friday. Which ever presents the time where it won't seem staged or forced. But I know I won't be inviting her to sit with us at lunch till next Thursday seeing as how we will miss Friday due to sun; I think it should just be Kate and I, because we're together, and you stay with the family to keep Rosalie from trying to interfere.
Having it be one day before we're gone gives her a chance to notice how our eyes change and how some of our moods change. It will most likely still be in her head at the bon fire in La Push so if anyone mentions us, hopefully the Quileute's will be there to spark her interest in someway to remember the Legends Charlie told her. Heck maybe one will even retell her if she can get them to.
Plus…It'll be fun to torture Jasper for all the times he's dampened either of Kate's or my mood, he needs to learn not to mess with me some how, this'll work. I figure he'll stew all weekend while plotting on getting to know her and wooing her with his southern charm." He chuckled a sarcastically evil laugh at the end causing Kate and me to laugh at his deviousness even while helping his brother.
"Oh dear Alice it seems to me that we created a monster. What are we going to do?" Kate asked me still giggling slightly.
"I say we set him loose after I meet Bella tomorrow. It's fun playing match maker."
Thursday morning I had to leave early and 'hunt' with Edward and Kate. We were so buzzed from our excitement there was no way we'd be able to hide it from anyone let alone Jasper. I had to force myself not to bounce at lunch. It didn't help though. Jasper asked what had me so excited along with Kate who was feeling slightly mischievous. Edward the butt was able to hide his.
I quickly lied and said there was a sale coming up. Kate added that she was planning on going lingerie shopping at the sale. That caused Edward to lose control of his emotions but, at least now there was lust so Jasper still wasn't too suspicious and Rosalie and Emmett were still in the dark. I felt slightly guilty for leaving Emmett out but couldn't chance it. By the time the bell rang I was about to start skipping. We timed it just right in getting rid of our trays so that we could get rid of them and then casually go to Bella's table.
"Hey Bella, you already met my girlfriend Kate a couple of times but, my sister Alice," Edward started and gestured to us. "Wants to meet you since we told her all about you; I hope you don't mind too much that we did but, your one of the first people that we've met who wanted to be friends with us just to be friends and not for gossip.
I'm sorry I'm rambling. If you're mad I apologize and would do anything to make up for it." He told her part of his rambling was from true worry of upsetting her, the rest was staged so people wouldn't try and "befriend" us.
Unexpectedly she began to shake in laughter; I was irrationally worried she was going to tell us that she didn't want us as friends even though I knew it wasn't such. I am just so desperate to hold her in my arms as I have craved since she was little and I first saw her as my daughter. She finally slowed her laughing and explained.
"I was wondering when I'd get to meet more of my "Big Brothers" family. I was worried for a bit that I was yours and Kate's dirty little secret friendship or a way to rebel. Well not really but, I was worried they didn't want to meet me." She finished up soberly and blushing from her confession. I have a feeling that she relaxed so much around her "Big Brother" so often that she forgot that there were other people around till she finished.
"Well of course it took us a while to introduce you. Didn't want to feed you to the sharks; this one," Kate said gesturing to me. "Can shop for hours without getting bored, tired or run out of things to shop for or people to shop for." She explained at this Bella gave me a curious once over and seemed to come to a silent decision before Kate continued in a mock warning tone.
"Be careful what ever you do don't go shopping unless you have complete control over where and how long and you are driving." She finished with a slight snicker. Bella looked at me in mock horror and made a sigh to ward of evil. It lost it's touch as she broke down giggling.
"Sorry to disappoint you Alice but, I don't shop unless its grocery shopping or health care type stuff except when I absolutely must. It's a trait I picked up from my dad." She informed me politely watching me closely for I don't know what. By this time we'd reached the biology class room.
"That's okay Bella. Just let me know when you want to, other wise I just drag Kate and Rose with me. I'll talk to you later. Edward can give you my number. Bye." I started walking as Kate said good bye. In my opinion that went wonderful. I turned around before they went in and added. "I'll get your number from Edward so I can text you. Tootles!"
Not wanting to seem weird and already seeing that she'd be busy I didn't text her till Friday. We spent the duration of our texting getting to know each others as much as we could. She said that she wanted copies of the boys and Carlisle dressed as cheerleaders from last years Halloween party at the Denali's. I promised I'd sneak them to her some time.
It's now the day that Edward invited her to sit with him and Kate. Everything is going well. She seems to be noticing what we want her to. Now we just need to hope the weekend goes as planned. Here's to hoping, the bell is going to ring soon hopefully Edward was able to make it obvious that the sun had something to do with our absences tomorrow while coming off as secretive.
The key is to not have it seem forced in what he is saying. I don't know why I'm worrying I can see it, hear it. And plus Kate is there to help. Oh shit, EDWARD you have BLOOD TYPING. Have Kate walk her to biology while you say something about it being healthy or something like that to skip but make it known Kate is staying. HURRY! Whew, that was close well hopefully she'll remember this when she starts putting everything together. Hmmm maybe I deserve to go "shopping". Bella will be gone leaving Charlie to not have to come up with an excuse. We can meet up Saturday, after she leaves, at the hotel in Port Angeles.
It'll be nice to spend time with him and just talk and relax without trying to make a quick fleeting connection while worrying about getting caught. Yes it's final we'll be together Saturday. Now from what I see so far Jasper has decided not to confirm or deny our differences she starts asking about next week till they've dated a couple weeks. That's good they'll be able to develop a relationship somewhat normally and get to know each other better before she has to meet the whole family, mainly Rosalie.
