AN: Over one month. I know. It took me forever and a fucking day to get this chapter out. No excuses. Some of you know what I've been doing in that month's time. I am working on THREE oneshots. One of them is already done. Want to see it before I post it? Go to the Foxy Fics site on Blogger and donate $5 for Parkinson's research. The link will be on my blog.

I am also working on an ORIGINAL piece for Writing For Spencer. It's a fundraiser for adrenal cancer. Two amazing ladies have put it together. That link will ALSO be on my page.

The last oneshot I am working on is for HoudinisBox. She bought me during FGB. It'll be a little Carlisle/Bella/Garrett love. I plan on having a lot of fun with that one since it's SO far out of my comfort zone.

If you haven't checked out Altered Lions and Sacrifical Lambs, I suggest you do it. On Friday, July 23rd, my most awesome prereader featured Daddysper. JaspersBella asked on Twitter who wanted their piece featured for the Quote of the Week segment. I responded with Uh... Sure? It also stemmed my new nickname. Mrs. Whitlock. She went with probably my favorite quote from Chapter 2. Check it out! The link is on my blog, and ALASL is a site I check DAILY. The Lambs are beyond amazing and give me so many of my reads.

Many thanks goes to both JaspersBella and Beegurl13. My prereader and my Beta. My beta got this to me as fast as possible without having internet. I'm telling you, I have one of the greatest beta's in the ENTIRE world. JaspersBella, my amazing prereader always knows when to crack the whip with me.

I'm on Twitter in case you guys didn't know it. TillyWhitlock. Follow me. I randomly toss out teasers. I also have a love for the word Fuck. I use it as much as possible. But what you didn't know is that our beloved Jasper and Bella also have Twitters. Daddysper and Mommyella1. They play around, and tend to stay close to the story. They don't give anything away, so don't bother asking.

Disclaimer: I own Shadow, Maddie, and Wyatt. I own the idea that Jasper is a human. SM owns the characters. Music is owned by whomever owns the music. I'm not that lucky.

Warning: Yeah. 18 is the group I run with. If you can't vote, can't buy porn, can't buy tobacco, don't bother reading this. That's how I see it.

And now... on with the story.

Chapter 7: No Rain

I just want someone to say to me, (oh oh oh oh)
I'll always be there when you wake
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
"No Rain" by Blind Melon

The next morning came quickly. Jasper and I climbed out of bed at six am. It was not something I was looking forward to, but I knew that if I didn't get dressed now, I'd have issues getting Wyatt ready to go.

I pulled my shower stuff out of my bag and walked into the bathroom that was attached to Jasper's bedroom. I started the shower and stepped under the spray. The water was warm, but I didn't want to use up all of the hot water. I closed my eyes and let the water fall over me.

The past week had been interesting, to say the least. The time with my son had been good, and we were able to be together without any interruption. Going back to work was not something I was looking forward to.

Realizing I was in love with Jasper was not something I had anticipated either. I knew I had feelings for him, but after everything that had happened, I just didn't want to push him too fast, too soon.

Before I could get too far into my head, the shower door opened, and Jasper slipped inside. He placed a gentle kiss on my neck.

"What are you thinking about? I swear I could see the steam coming from your head as I was getting undressed," he whispered against my pebbled skin.

I hummed in approval and tilted my head to the side. After finally realizing I was in love with him, it was clear to me that I had always loved him.

"Just thinking about you." I turned around to look into his eyes.

The lime green was so intense, I shuddered. It was my favorite color. The best part was that Maddie had inherited them. She was going to break hearts when she got older.

"Hopefully nothing too bad," Jasper said as he kissed my head softly.

I shook my head and moved to grab the shampoo. Before I was fully turned around, Jasper pulled me back to him and kissed me. It wasn't the soft or slow kiss I was expecting, instead it was needy and frantic. Realization that being away from me for a week had made him this way, I reveled in the fact that I needed him as much as he needed me.

His tongue pushed into my mouth, quickly dominating mine. I could feel my pulse quicken and my entire body started to heat up, and not just because of the water from the shower. I let my hands trail a path down his chest, roughly running my nails across his muscles, tracing each one before moving to the next. As I got to the V of his abdomen, my movements became more gentle. I teased the trail of hair that led to what I wanted most.

His cock was erect. He wanted me, and on any normal day, I wouldn't refuse him. However, I knew we needed to get going, so I pulled away from him and grabbed the shampoo. I hated pulling away from something I wanted so badly, but Jasper found humor in it. His soft chuckle filled the shower.

I smiled softly, turning my head so I could catch his eyes. "Later, I promise. We'll find the time when we get home. I don't care if I have to send Wyatt to Emmett's for the night, we'll figure it out."

We finished our shower, and got dressed. I quickly put on my Domo shirt and a pair of jeans before walking down the hall to the Maddie's room.

Both kids were sleeping still, but they were spooned together. I left the room as quickly as possible to grab my camera from my bag. When I returned, I was thrilled to find the kids hadn't moved, and I snapped a cute picture of the two of them.

I walked over to the bed and gently kissed Wyatt on the forehead. He started to stir and rolled over to face me. A small smile crossed my son's face, and I remembered why I went through every fight I did.

"Hey Wy. Time to get up and get dressed." He sat up and looked around, getting confused for a second. Then he spotted Maddie, and everything fell into place.

"We going to Grandma and Grandpa's today?" he asked. I nodded and he shook Maddie awake.

She rolled over and glared at him before looking up at me with a glare. Jasper walked into the room at the exact same moment.

"I should have given you a heads up. Maddie isn't a morning girl. She'd sleep away the day if she could." I nodded and lifted Wyatt out of bed.

I carried him into Jasper's room and quickly put on his Red DC shirt and jeans. Before he could run out of the room, I put on his black Mossimo sneakers Emmett had given him. The boy took off like a bat out of hell.

I went down the stairs and into Jasper's kitchen, and after rooting around in his pantry, I pulled out the supplies for pancakes. I found his iPod sitting on the counter and put it on the dock quickly. The first thing that started playing was "Cry Little Sister" by Carfax Abbey.

My hips were moving to the beat as Jasper walked up behind me. His arms encircled my waist and I relaxed into his embrace. The griddle was still heating up, and I closed my eyes for a second.

"Whatcha working on, sweetheart?" he said, and I smiled as the Southern accent slipped through.

"Pancakes. The last thing we need are two hungry kids in a car for four hours," I said. Jasper laughed softly in my ear.

"Well then, by all means. Mi casa es su casa. Do as you please." I finished up making the pancakes as Jasper called the kids down.

He poured glasses of juice for everyone and got the kids set at the table. The meal went quickly, with both kids bouncing in their seats, excited to get going.

I tossed Jasper my keys and took the kids to the bathroom one last time. On the way out, I grabbed my bag before taking the kids by the hands and out to the car.

Jasper got out of the truck and put Wyatt in his seat while I took Maddie and put her in. Once both kids were settled into the truck, we were on our way to Forks.

The entire drive was filled with Wyatt telling Maddie all about his grandfather. Occasionally, I would look over to Jasper and he would grab my hand and kiss it.

When we got to Port Angeles, I called my dad.

"Swan residence?"

"Mom! We'll be there in about an hour. That's okay, right?" I asked with a huge grin. Jasper kept his eyes on the road, but I could see a smile tugging at his lips.

"Yeah, your dad had to run out for a few minutes, but should be back by the time you and Wyatt get here."

"It's not just Wyatt and I. Jasper and Maddie are with us." I was suddenly shocked that Sue didn't know this piece of information.

"Tell me you told your father. You know how he hates meeting the boyfriend unprepared," Sue said as I laughed in response.

"I told him when the decision was made. I called him Thursday night to confirm. He should know about the two new additions. I'm surprised he didn't tell you." Sue laughed and agreed with me. We talked for a few minutes before we hung up.

"Should I be afraid of your father?" Jasper asked with a raised brow.

"No. Actually, you should be more scared of my brother and sister. Leah and Seth are horrible some days, but that'll be a meeting for a different time. I'm not sure if Seth is still in Forks. I know Leah is still back East." Jasper nodded and the rest of the drive was quiet.

When we pulled into Forks it was late in the morning, and I gave Jasper directions to my dad's house. I could see Jasper stiffen at the sight of the cruiser sitting in the driveway. I laughed softly as he put the car in park.

Getting out of the car, I quickly got Maddie out as Jasper released Wyatt. The boy took off up the stairs to the house and ran right in. Maddie and I walked around to Jasper. She decided to play shy and hide behind the both of us. She had one arm wrapped around our legs as we slowly walked up to the house.

Sue was standing at the door waiting when we got there. I could hear Wyatt in the living room playing.

I released Jasper's hand and wrapped my arms around my mother. It felt good to be back in her arms again.

"How was the drive, sweetheart?" my mom asked, and I laughed.

"Great. The kids were quiet, and I didn't drive. I can't complain." I saw my mother appraising Jasper.

"Mrs. Swan, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Jasper Whitlock, ma'am." Sue started laughing.

"Please. Mrs. Swan left a very long time ago. And I'm not ma'am. Call me Sue," she said as she wrapped her arms around him. I laughed and pulled Maddie in front of me gently.

"You must be Maddie. Wyatt told me a lot about you when he was here," my mom said as she bent down to Maddie's level.

Maddie nodded slowly. I could tell by the look on her face that she wasn't sure what to do. Sue looked up at both Jasper and I.

"She's shy. Normally, she'd be the loudest person in the room. I'm not sure what's gotten into her," Jasper said. Sue shrugged it off.

"Maddie, I have some cookies in the kitchen. If it's okay with your father and Bella, would you like to have one?" Sue asked. Maddie grinned and Wyatt came running out of the living room.

"Cookies?" he asked. I rolled my eyes and nodded.

"You can have one. You still need to eat lunch, and you're still getting better." I said. He nodded slowly and then rushed toward the kitchen.

Jasper agreed to the same terms, and the two kids plus my mom made their way to the tiny kitchen. I pulled Jasper into the living room. I wasn't surprised my father was there, but I was shocked that Seth was still sitting there.

"Signet!" Seth said as he ran up and swung me around.

"Would you put me down! I need to make introductions, and I can't do them in the air!" A second later I was back on the floor.

"Jasper Whitlock, this is my father, Charlie Swan and my brother, Seth Masen. Dad, Seth, this is my boyfriend Jasper." They all exchanged pleasantries before sitting down to watch something that was on the TV.

I walked back to the kitchen seeing my mom with Wyatt and Maddie. They were coloring, which didn't surprise me. My mother always said the way to bond with little kids when they were reluctant was to color. Coloring was a little kid's world.

I sat on the counter and just watched my mom interact with the kids. I was sure Jasper was fine with my dad. There was no screaming so far, but then again both were quiet men. I was stirred from my musings as Jasper walked in.

"You okay? You were staring off into space for a few minutes," he said. I nodded my head and kissed him gently.

"Yeah. You and my dad are okay in the living room, right?" I asked. Jasper smirked and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.

"Of course, we're okay. Put men in front of a TV with sports on, and everything will be fine." He walked over to Maddie and kissed her on the head before walking back out to the living room.

About an hour later, I could see the kids fading fast. I grabbed Maddie and my mom grabbed Wyatt. Together, we put them to bed in my old room. Wyatt had his own room here, but we figured it would be better to let them room together. If Maddie woke up first, she would see Wyatt and be okay.

"He's sweet. You can tell he loves his daughter very much," Mom said as we made our way back down the stairs.

"He does. He's a great father to her, she's his whole world. You can see it in everything he does." I agreed. My mom stopped in the middle of the stairs and looked at me. I looked away quickly.

"He's handsome, and you love him," she said. I sighed. I knew better than to assume how my mother knew it. She was just good like that.

"I do. Very much, but we still need to take our time. We have two other people in this relationship besides ourselves."

"Yes, but Bella, don't hide your love from him. He needs to know that you feel it." We hit the bottom step and I smiled. I poked my head in the living room.

"Jasper?" I asked. He turned to me and smiled.

"Belle?"

"I love you," I said with a grin. His answering smile was amazing.

"I love you too, Baby," he said. I turned back to Sue and smiled. She laughed.

"So, I'm guessing you already told him how you feel?" she said, and I simply nodded.

"The day Wyatt came home from the hospital. We were doing laundry, and we were about to ravish each other on the dryer. He said it, and I responded without hesitating. The moment wasn't anything special, neither one of us planned it, but it was right." My mother hugged me and kissed my cheek.

"As long as he loves you back, that's all that matters sweetheart." I wrapped my arms around her and returned her hug just as tightly.

"He does mom. He's pretty amazing," I said as I wiped the stray tears out of my eyes and walked into the kitchen.

I fixed the boys a quick sandwich and called them to the kitchen. The three guys sat around the table as Sue and I stood off to the side. I grabbed a couple of bottles of water and handed one to Jasper. As I went to walk away, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into his lap.

"Mom, can I have my lunch? It looks like I'm being held captive," I said with a giggle. The entire table looked at me as Sue handed me my plate.

I took a bite of my sandwich as Jasper kissed my cheek. I suddenly felt like a girl in love, and I wasn't hiding that from my parents, either.

It wasn't something they had ever seen. Even when I was with James, or Emmett for that matter, I wasn't the type to just broadcast it. A few minutes later, Wyatt and Maddie came padding down the stairs. Sue sat them at the table and placed their lunch in front of them with cups of juice.

The day was relaxing. It was nice to just hang out with my parents and brother, but it reminded me how much I missed Leah.

"Seth, tell Leah to come home soon. I miss her. I want to see her, it seems like it's been ages since I've seen her." Seth smirked at me. I was whining, and I knew it.

"She already booked her flight for Thanksgiving. She said you had better be here, or she's stopping in Seattle to kick your ass." I winced and looked at Jasper.

"Want to come meet the last person in my family?" I asked as he laughed.

"If it is okay with your parents, then yes, I'd be glad to come back for Thanksgiving." I turned and kissed him quickly. My dad coughed, and my mom smacked him.

"Leave Bella alone. She's in love. Let her be in love." My father grumbled, but didn't say another word.

It seemed that too soon we were heading home. Mom carried Wyatt as I carried Maddie, and Jasper carried Wyatt's suitcase to the car. They were wiped out and would probably sleep the entire drive home.

Mom and I put the kids in the car as Jasper put the suitcase in the back. Dad followed Jasper, and I could hear them talking, but I didn't want to eaves drop too much. I walked over to my mom and wrapped my arms around her, hugging her tightly.

"The four of us will be back for Thanksgiving. I promise." I kissed her cheek, and we walked back to where the guys were.

Jasper and Charlie were shaking hands. When they let go, I flew into my father's arms. I hugged him tightly.

"Thanks Dad, for everything." He kissed the top of my head.

"No problem. I'm always here if you need anything, Bells. All you need to do is call." I nodded my head.

"I know. I'll see you in a few months, okay?" He nodded and released me.

Jasper released my mom at the same time, and we all made our way to the passenger's side of the truck. Jasper opened my door and let me in before making his way to the driver's side. We said our final goodbyes before finally pulling away. Four hours and a very long drive later, we were back in Seattle. We pulled up to Jasper's house and carried the kids to Maddie's room. We quickly changed them into their pajama's, and put them into bed.

Jasper went down to feed Shadow and to let him out, while I hung out upstairs in his room. A short time later, Jasper came in and shut the door behind him. In three strides, he was pushing me against the wall.

His mouth was on mine, and his kisses were deep and insistent. I let him control the kiss because I needed this as much as he did. I wanted him as much as he wanted me.

After a day of virtually no contact, I needed to feel him.

He spread my legs apart with his knee, and pushed his hips into mine. I could feel his erection on my thigh, and I broke away from the kiss to take a breath. Jasper's lips didn't stray far. He leaned down and attached them to my neck.

"Jasper. Kids. Can't do this," I panted.

"Fuck the kids, they're passed out. We'll be quiet. I need you, Belle. I need to be wrapped around you. I need to feel your walls clenching around me." I groaned and pulled his lips back to my lips.

I lifted his shirt over his body, breaking away from the kiss to do so. He quickly followed suit. Soon enough, we were both naked, and I was straddling his waist.

I sank down onto him, and we both let out quiet moans. I rolled my hips as Jasper lifted his hips to mine. I collapsed on top of him at the feeling.

He was stretching me and filling me so completely. I had never felt anything like it before, and I began to move when Jasper suddenly flipped us so that I was on my back.

"I can't keep quiet if you are riding me, Sugar. There's something about seeing you on top of me that makes me want to roar."

I whimpered at his words. I loved the way he talked to me during sex. One moment he could be sweet and loving, the next he could be completely crude.

It seemed tonight he was walking the line—not too sweet, but not too crude. Jasper's thrusts were harder than usual, but I didn't care—I needed it. I needed to feel like he was claiming me. I needed to be his.

I could sense my stomach clenching tight, knowing that I was close to an orgasm. Just as I was about to beg for more, a set of teeth came down on my neck. The bite was hard, and I knew there'd be a mark, but it was just what I needed. I exploded around him without a second thought.

Jasper held onto me as I whimpered through my orgasm. I wanted to scream, but with the kids in the same house, I didn't want to take the chance.

As I came down from my high, Jasper continued to thrust in and out of me. A few short minutes later, he was releasing deep inside of me.

As our breathing returned to normal, Jasper slipped out of me and went to the bathroom to clean up. A few minutes later, he returned with a warm wash cloth and some of his clothes to wear.

We quickly cleaned up, got dressed, and crawled back into bed. It wasn't lost on me that Jasper and I were falling asleep in the same position our kids had woken up in. I laughed softly at the kids innocence, and our mischief. With whispered professions of love, we fell asleep in each others arms.

AN: I've been helping out a friend of mine with her story for the past couple of months. It's called Bedroom Confessions by JandMsMommy. I have come to befriend and LOVE Andy with a passion. She just finished the story this week. Check it out. It's on my favorite's list. She is starting another story called Seven Day Weekend. And holy shit! I get to be one of her amazing prereaders and technical advisor. It's got something I have NEVER seen before. Killerward and Murderella. It's actually based on a true story. It's something she has put a LOT of hard work into already. She posted the prologue, and I've seen part of chapter 1. It's worth the read.

And I failed at Review Responses for the last chapter. I promise to work on them soon. So hit the review button and let me know what you think.
