A/N: Most of these chapters are starting Jasper POV because the action's happening in the Cullen Family now.
Jasper:
It had been two weeks since he ran from home. He hunted at night, went to school during the day. In order to 'try and cope' he spent any free time with Quinn. The humans were surprised seeing Quinn with Jasper and vice versa. He ignored Rosalie and Emmett, not to be rude but just to try and sort through his emotions. But after the second, day Rosalie and Emmett took leave from school. Alice and Edward hadn't returned at all.
So after those two weeks, he decided it was time to go home again. He was ready to see his family again. He walked to the door and Quinn looked up at him, unintentionally batting those long eyelashes.
"How about that kiss?" she asked. He hadn't tried to kiss since he first came to her and an impulsive smile crept up on his lips when she asked. He bent down and kissed her soundly. She smiled into the kiss before he pulled away and left her house.
He ran home. When he opened the door, he saw Esme on the couch, eyes filled with tears she could never cry and Carlisle mournfully massaging her shoulders. Rosalie was sitting on the couch, as well, staring out of the window, Emmett's head listlessly in his lap.
"Hello," Jasper said tentatively. Their heads snapped up. Suddenly he was grasped in a hug comprising of all of them wrapping their arms around him. When they separated, Esme took his face gingerly in his hands and stared into his eyes like she thought she'd never see him again.
"Oh, Jazz," she trailed off, breaking into a smile. Jasper nodded, understanding what she was trying to say. Carlisle hugged his son as well.
"Two weeks have never been so long," He sighed. Emmett pulled him into a brotherly bear hug.
"Man, if you ever leave again," he growled, leaving the threat hanging in the air. Rosalie looked at him, tears also glistening in her topaz eyes. She bit her lip gently and then wrapped her arms around Jasper as well.
"I never thought I'd miss my 'twin' so much. You left us before for a few months, and this is not okay," Rosalie told him, holding onto him one second longer before returning to Emmett's side.
"Where did you go?" Carlisle asked. Jasper shrugged and sat on the couch.
"I hunted at night, went to school in the day. I spent some time at Quinn's house," Jasper admitted. Esme kissed his cheek.
"You really love her, don't you?" she asked. Jasper smiled.
"Yeah. I do," he laughed. A somber feeling crawled over him then. He looked up at his family.
"Do...you think Alice and Edward will return soon?" he asked hopefully. He could live with Alice as a sister. He missed his family. Esme shrugged.
"I hope so. I don't know though," she said, voice cracking with pain.
Quinn:
"Jasper, I'm not going to your house with you. I caused you guys so much trouble. And according to you my blood is ten times more tempting then Bella's I'd rather not die today," Quinn said. Jasper rolled his eyes.
"I'll pick you up and carry you if I have to. Esme insisted. I don't disobey my mother," he smiled. Quinn sighed.
"Fine." she pushed out her lower lip in a defiant pout as he led her downstairs to his car. Admittedly, she was shaking the entire ride to his home. She'd only been there once and that was when she stumbled upon the Cullens hunting.
She finally got a good look at their house. It was big, and beautiful...and intimidating.
"Can you tell me about it...the house? My mom's a real estate agent, I inherited an interest in it," Quinn said. Jasper shrugged.
"I hate doing this, but for you, I will. 13,000 square feet, six-bedroom, nine-bathroom, library with built-in bookshelves, lower-level theater room, wine cellar, sauna, guest suite, chef's kitchen, pool, gazebo and an work-out room with full bath an sauna. Can we go in?" Jasper sighed. Quinn stared at him, and the house, in shock. Jasper took her hand and led her inside. The Cullens were sitting around the large island in the kitchen. They greeted Quinn with smiles.
"Hello Quinn, it is so nice to properly meet you this time," Esme smiled. Quinn blushed.
"Ah, yeah. Thank you for having me," she said, looking up at Jasper. He said nothing, instead just looked forward at the scene.
"He's quiet, isn't he?" Emmett teased his brother. Quinn took Jasper's hand once more.
"Yes. But I wouldn't want him any other way and he says so much when he says nothing at all," she smiled.
"The blood doesn't...bother you..does it?" Quinn asked.
"After Nessie's bloody, disgusting birth, we're all good," Emmett chuckled. Quinn quirked an eyebrow.
"You are the jokester, aren't you?" she asked. Rosalie laughed at that. She took Emmett's hand.
"You bet he is," she said lovingly. Esme smiled at Jasper.
"Jazz, do you want to give Quinn a tour of the house?" she asked. Jasper nodded and took Quinn's hand, leading her upstairs. He showed her Rosalie and Emmett's room, Carlisle's study, Carlisle and Esme's bedroom. He showed her what used to be his and Alice's bedroom and was now just Alice's bedroom. He led her further down the wing, glossing over Edward's room.
Jasper's room was last. According to him, it used to be a spare room. It was simple. It was graceful. It was perfect. Quinn looked at the bed and turned to Jasper in confusion.
"A bed? You guys don't sleep. And it's not like you and Alice are um...yeah," Quinn asked. Jasper wrapped his arms around her waist.
"It was Esme's idea. In case you ever need a place to stay. We have a guest room for you too," Jasper told her. Quinn's eyes filled with grateful tears.
"I love that woman so much," Quinn smiled. Jasper laughed. It was the most amazing sound in the world to Quinn.
"Yeah. We all do."
Suddenly there was a closing door from downstairs. Jasper picked Quinn up and ran downtairs, he entered the foyer the same time as the rest of his family. The sight that greeted them was apparently a good one. A girl stood there, smiling.
"Where's mom? And dad? And Aunt Alice?" the girl asked. Esme broke into a smile, as did the rest of the family.
"Nessie," they all exclaimed.
Quinn stared at the girl in shock.
Nessie was back.
