Last chapter:

Dr. Cullen went and got Chief Swann, who came into the room and sat in a chair. The doctor told him what he had found in his procedure. Aubrey began to cry softly. The chief and the doctor stopped talking to try and comfort her. "Don't cry Aubrey. It's going to be okay." Chief Swann told her. "No it's not." She cried. "My mom's going to get in trouble, and I'm gonna be shipped off because I don't have any family. I'll be forced to leave my friends and Ja- and people." The doctor and the Chief looked at each other. "I think I have an idea."The chief said. "And you won't be shipped off Aubrey. I promise." He pats her shoulder. "Unfortunately your mom is going into custody. She won't be able to hurt you anymore." Aubrey cried harder, if from sadness or relief, the two men didn't know.

Chapter 9:

Jaspers P.O.V.

Aubrey was all he could think about. All he could see when he closed his eyes was Aubrey clutching her side, HIS Aubrey wincing in pain. He sat in the living room staring off into space. The others were nice enough to let him be alone with his thoughts. It made him sad knowing that someone would actually harm Aubrey. He worried about her. Jasper knew this was a very serious situation, that her world was about to be even more turned upside down. He couldn't help but feel guilty. While part of him argued it was all for the best, if he hadn't basically forced Aubrey to see the nurse, this situation could have been avoided.

Time is endless for a vampire. But it seemed to pass quickly as Jasper continued his thinking. Perhaps he just had that much on his mind. After a couple hours he decided he couldn't just sit, or it would drive him mad. But what to do? "Go for a hunt." Alice's voice rang from upstairs. She must be with Edward. "Hunt... Yeah. Good idea…" He said aloud, knowing Alice would hear him. Jasper took off through the sliding glass door facing the forest. He let go of his thoughts and focused his mind on the different scents in the air… Looks like he was having Elk for dinner. Through the trees he saw a small pack of the herbivores in a clearing. He located the biggest one of the bunch, the buck, and swiftly pounced on it, breaking its neck. Biting into the elk's neck, he easily tore through the fur, and skin, the warm blood spilled into his mouth. Draining it, he let it drop to the forest floor. His phone vibrated in his pocket, catching his attention. He pulled the phone out of his pocket to see a text from Alice saying:

Come back home Jazz. We have a guest.

Aubrey's P.O.V.

Both Dr. Cullen and Chief Swann left to go tie up loose ends. Aubrey sat in her room and sipped on the coffee the nurse had been kind enough to bring her. For pessimist, she was pretty optimistic, but she saw nothing positive coming from this. Her mom would be arrested, and would always see Aubrey as a betrayer .She didn't have any other family that she knew of, and even if they could locate her dad she didn't know if he would take her in. And honestly she couldn't even remember her dads face. She didn't have any pictures of him, or any recollection. Years of moving around had the effect on Aubrey that her mom wished had been for her; memories from queens were non-existent.

Dr. Cullen made his way back in to Aubrey. "Aubrey, are you ready?" He asks kindly. "Ready?"She questions. "Chief Swann decided that instead of sending you to a youth program or something of that sort, he thinks you'll enjoy being with your friends. So you'll be coming home with me." The doctor smiles. A small amount of relief spreads through Aubrey. She always felt a sense of security with the Cullen's. While she honestly didn't know how long she would be permitted to stay with them, she was going to make the most of it and thank God that she wasn't being shipped off.

Aubrey follows Dr. Cullen out to the small parking lot, and over to a shiny black Mercedes. He opens her door for her, and she slides onto the cool seat. The doctor gets in the driver's seat, and starts the car. He backs out, and drives out of the parking lot and onto the road. "Now Aubrey, would you like me to drive you home so you can pick up some clothes and stuff, or would you prefer to just wait until tomorrow? I'm sure Alice or Bella have extra clothes for you to borrow if you'd like." He asks. "I'll just go tomorrow after school. It'll be easier." Aubrey replies. "Sounds like a plan then. I had better call Esme, that way she can prepare a place, and some food for you." He says. He dials a number, and turns his Bluetooth on. "Hello dear. Today was fine. Listen, I'm bringing a special visitor home, someone we've been begging Jasper to bring over. Yes dear, Aubrey. I'll explain everything once we're there…. Hold on I'll ask…" The doctor turns his head slightly towards Aubrey and smiling asks, "My wife would like me to ask you what your favorite food is." Aubrey frowns slightly. She didn't want Mrs. Cullen to go to any trouble. "Um, well I really like macaroni and cheese." She answers. "She like's mac and cheese dear." The doctor tells his wife. "Okay... Okay... Well, we'll be there shortly. Yes… Make sure. Oh you're fabulous! Love you too."

The Doctor hangs up his call and the two drive in silence until Aubrey pips up and asks, "Dr. Cullen?" "Please, call me Carlisle." He says smiling. "Okay… Carlisle… I'm not going to a burden on you or your family am I?" She asks timidly. "Oh Aubrey, of course not. We're more than happy to have you stay with us. We have plenty of room, the kids love you, and it's no trouble at all." Carlisle responds. He turns from the main road onto a dirt road you wouldn't know is there unless you had been down it before. The forest encroached on both sides, leaving the road only discernable for a few meters as it twisted, serpent like, around the ancient trees. Aubrey gasped as the Cullen house came into view. It was huge, white, and bright. It looked as though parts were made completely of glass. The front lawn looked like a meadow. Whatever Aubrey had been expecting, it wasn't this.

Carlisle parks and the two get out of the car. Leading the way, the doctor heads up to the front door and enters into the house, Aubrey fallowing cautiously behind. She walks into a humongous entry hall, brightly lit by the back walls made completely of glass. Stairs wind up to a second floor and a shiny black piano stands in back by the glass wall.

The woman standing next to Carlisle could be none other than Esme Cullen herself. Carmel colored hair tastefully styled and a purple silk wrap dress only enhanced her beauty. Like all the others in this strange family, Esme had the same beautifully enhanced features that were out of this world, and the same golden eyes. Carlisle wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders and gestured towards Aubrey. "Esme, here she is. Aubrey, this is my wife, Esme." Carlisle said. Esme walked toward her with her hand out. "Oh Aubrey, it's so nice to finally meet you." She said. Aubrey grasped her hand, and ignored how cold it was. "It's nice to meet you too Mrs. Cullen. You have a beautiful home." Aubrey replied honestly. "Thank you so much! And please, call me Esme."

"Aubrey's here!" A shout came from the second floor. Alice came down the stairs to embrace her friend. "Owww, careful Alice." Aubrey says hugging back but wincing. "Sorry Aubrey, I'm just glad you're here!" Alice says letting her go. "We're going to have a blast during this time." The pixie says clapping her hands together. Bella, Edward, Rosalie and Emmet make their way into the entry hall to greet Aubrey. "Aubs, you're here!" Emmet says hugging her and pulling her off the ground. "Okay monkey man, I don't think she is ready for that." Rosalie warns Emmet. He puts Aubrey down, who staggers slightly trying to ignore her side. "Good to have you here." Bella says smiling. Edward smiles at Aubrey and Rosalie glowers. "Aubrey all I can say is once I get my hands on Lauren Mallory…" Rose threatens. "Rose, violence won't solve anything." Esme chides. "Aubrey dear, I'm almost finished with some homemade mac and cheese for you. I didn't know if you would want anything else, but I have some fresh French bread to go with it." Esme says kindly. Aubrey manages a weak smile at her. All of this kindness was slightly overwhelming. "Thank you Esme. That sounds great."

Esme excuses herself, and floats out of the room somewhere, to where the kitchen was Aubrey assumed. "Aubrey, would you like to go to the kitchen with Esme? I wanted to let the kids know the circumstances, unless you'd rather tell them?" Carlisle asks her. "Aubrey looks down at the floor before answering. "You can tell them Carlisle. I'm not ready to share my entire story…" Aubrey mumbles. "Alright. Alice will you show her to the kitchen?" He says kindly. Alice takes Aubrey by the hand, and leads her from the spacious room. Moments later they walk into the Cullen's kitchen. It looked like something straight out of a food network program. Beautiful Marble countertops, shiny top of the line linoleum on the floor, and cabinets made of black oak. Esme was taking a steaming pan from the oven and Aubrey's stomach growled as the smell hit her. Before Alice could leave, there was a pressing question she had to ask her. "Alice…" Aubrey says stopping her. "Where's Jasper?" Alice smiles. "Jasper just went to get some fresh air. He couldn't sit still because he was too worried about you. He'll be back soon. I told him we had a special guest from dad's work." Alice smiles wide, and leaves the kitchen.

Aubrey sits at the counter watching Esme finish up the work on dinner. The kindness that this family was showing her was nothing less than otherworldly. She wasn't put off by it, this much kindness hadn't been shown to her in a family setting in quite a long time. Esme smiles and slides a big plate of the best homemade macaroni and cheese Aubrey had ever seen in front of her. "And here's some bread to go with it. I hope you enjoy." Esme tells her. "Make yourself at home. There is water in the fridge. I'll let you eat in peace. If you need anything, just call. I won't be far." Aubrey smiles at the older woman. "Thank you Esme."

Esme leaves the room, and Aubrey begins to eat her meal. It had to be one of the best things she had ever tasted. She would have to compliment Esme on her cooking ability. She let her thoughts take over in the quietness. The majority of her thoughts were split between the day's events, and whether Jasper would be back fairly soon or not. Then, she wondered why the Cullen's weren't eating. Could they have maybe already have eaten before she came? When she really thought about it, had she ever seen them eat? Her friends? Maybe she had been too busy scarfing down her own food to really pay attention. When it came to the Cullen's, there were plenty of odd things about them, like their inhuman beauty, golden eyes, and cold hard skin… But it didn't matter. At least not to her.

She finishes her big plate, and is comfortably full. Not wanting to create work for Esme, Aubrey rinsed her plate off and put it in the dishwasher. Leaving the kitchen, she walks back the way she had come, back into the entry way. There were voices coming from what could only be the living room. She walked across the hall and peers into the room. The Cullen's are seated in the room on comfy looking chairs and couches. Conflicted, not wanting to intrude but also very much wanting to be in the family circle, her eyes scan for Him.

Jaspers P.O.V.

He could smell her scent before he was in the house. It permeated the air, so different from the smells of his family. There was a slight burn in the back of his throat, but he knew he could control the thirst. The desire for her blood was curbed by the fact that he loved her. He had thought he was going crazy, but after Alice's declaration, Carlisle had taken Jasper aside and explained things to him. He wasn't crazy. Once you find your mate, it's normal to fall for them quickly.

When Alice had texted him saying they had a guest, he almost couldn't bring himself to think it was Aubrey, lest it turn out not to be her. But it was. It was his girl. Jasper wasn't sure how this would all play out, but in all honesty, at first he may have doubted, but as of now you wouldn't catch him betting against Alice and her visions of the future.

He entered the house and found his family in the living room talking. Jasper sat down on the loveseat by himself, and looked over at the others questioningly. "She's in the kitchen, eating." Edward answers his unspoken question. "She'll be staying with us indefinitely. I worked things out with Charlie, and until there's a trial or something, she gets to stay." Carlisle says. "There's only one big problem I can see." Rosalie says. "And before anyone tries to bite my head off, just hear me out. We don't know how long she'll be with us. I don't think I need to point out we're Vampires, and she's very much human. Edward has already pointed out that she's noticed we're not exactly normal. She may disregard it, but I think living with us will give it away." Rosalie explains. Jasper understood what his sister was getting at. Andin all honesty it was a good point. "Why don't we just tell her?" Bella says. Jasper quickly looks at her, along with the others. "But, it's against the law Bella." Esme says quietly. "I know…" Bella says slowly. "But, and this is an important but, Alice saw Aubrey as one of us." The gravity of what Bella was getting at sunk in quickly. "I say we tell her." Emmet says. Edward nods in agreement. "We can't just throw it at her! The last thing we want to do is scare her away." Rose says. "Son, if you agree to this, we'll let you choose the time and the place." Carlisle says to Jasper. He nods. "She's coming. Turn on the TV. and let's talk about something else." Alice pips up.

A football game is put on, and the family starts talking about pointless things. Jasper can see Aubrey in the doorway from his peripheral, and looks over at her. She sighs his name as they make eye contact. He stands up, and heads towards her. Aubrey meets him half way, and lunges into his arms. There's a small, beautiful moment, where it's only them. He wanted this moment to last forever. Him holding Aubrey in his arms, into eternity. "Aubrey…" He sighs her name. "Can you stop hogging her jazz?" The teasing voice of Alice rings out. And moment, ended. He reluctantly lets her go, and stares into her eyes as hers bore back into his. He takes her hand and they sit on the loveseat together. He could get used to this.

A/N ... There it is :) . What did you think? I hope everyone liked this chapter. I liked the idea of her staying with the Cullen's better than her getting shipped away.
