Jasper's POV

The mood in the living room was amusement and irritation. I was really enjoying myself as I sat watching Alice and Edward argue while barely even speaking a word to each other.

Apparently Edward didn't find it in any way funny that Alice had made him go to the grocery store to run into Bella Swan. Alice on the other hand thought it was great fun to see him looking so bewildered as he helped her from falling on her face.

"Stop it Alice. Quit trying to push her on me. If you want the Human Girl as your friend, then fine, but please leave me out of it." Edward said looking at her with obvious frustration and something else? Was he expressing curiosity? Interesting. He was somehow intrigued by this human.

She must have shown him another image, because he rolled his eyes at her and she was beaming over at him and giggling.

It was at times like this that I was a little envious of Edward. He was able to be with Alice in a way that I never would. Yes, I could feel what she felt and I knew she loved me with all her heart, but he could see things as she saw them. I would give anything to be able to do that. Alice was such a complicated little being. She had all this energy bundled up into this tiny little package and sometimes it seemed as if she would just explode into a thousand little Alice's. Now that's a funny thought. Man, what would our house be like if we had a bunch of Alice's running around? The only thing that comes to mind for me is something that would be like a Dr. Seuss book. All these tiny little pixies flying around the house bouncing into everything and being overly excited! I chuckled to myself at my mental image.

"That would not be very pleasant!" Edward said laughing.

"What!" Alice turned her little face around to glare at me from her spot on the sofa.

"Your Jasper was just imagining what it would be like if you were to multiply." Edward laughed as he said that.

"And?! What's so funny about that?" She was still glaring at me.

"Nothing, really, it would be like having a bunch of little hummingbirds all around. Who doesn't love a hummingbird?" I smiled sweetly at her.

Edward snorted. "Yeah right. Like that's what you think it would be like."

"I don't think it's really necessary to continue this conversation. One Alice is more than enough for me!" I pulled her close to my chest and kissed her head.

"Well, that's good, because that's all you're gonna get!" She looked up at me and smiled.

Edward rolled his eyes and looked at the television.

We were quiet then, as we waited for everyone to get home.

Suddenly I felt this wave of panic and fear and then sadness, actually it was more like despair. I didn't know what to make of it at first and then Alice stood straight up and starting talking as she was having a vision.

She put her hand over her mouth "Oh NO! NO!" "Oh my god!"

I was at her side instantly and wrapped my arms around her and murmured that is would be ok and tried to send her waves of calm. That's really all I could do at the moment.

Edward was sitting in the chair across from where she was standing. I think he was trying to read what she was seeing, but it wasn't clear yet.

"Alice, what is it that you see?" Edward asked her gently. She looked positively petrified. Her face held so much pain. I could feel that it was fear and sadness.

"There's been an accident!" Her voice was a barely above a whisper, but we heard her perfectly.

"Who? Who Alice?" Edward's voice was getting a little frantic sounding. I wanted to try to calm him, but I couldn't. Between trying not to let Alice's emotions overtake me and trying to calm her down, I had nothing else to give.

She shook her head frantically from side to side. "I don't know!" she sounded pitiful. "Oh, God!"

"I see a car flipping upside down, it's bad, oh god, it's horrible!"

"WHO ALICE?" Edward was almost yelling at her. I looked at him with frustration. Did he not realize how hard this was for her?"

"Alice?" He said it again, a bit more gentle.

She looked at him with huge frightened eyes. "Edward, Oh my God!" Alice would have been crying if we could actually cry.

Edward must have seen her vision because suddenly he was pacing the floor and talking.

"NO! It can't be right!" He was upset and I tried to get a grasp on all of the emotions in the room. It was so hard. So much sadness. I had to let go of Alice to put my hands to my head to rub my temples to get myself focused.

"Please, someone tell me what is going to happen?" I spoke as calmly as I could. I felt my hands start to tremble because the emotions were so strong.

"Jasper!" Alice was hugging me tightly.

"Oh, God. Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett and Esme are in a car accident!" She wailed.

"What! When?" I would have never imagined that was what she was going to say to me.

"Soon, very soon. We need to go right now." She pulled away and looked up at me.

"Oh, baby. Are you ok? I'm so sorry." I felt her try to calm her emotions for me.

"If you are ok, I am ok." I squeezed her hand.

"Come on! We have to call Carlisle and tell him. He deserves to know." Edward walked towards the door as he pulled out his cell phone.

"What happens Alice?" I looked at her. The sadness washed over her again and she looked down and then slowly looked back up at me.

"Esme. I…I…" she took a deep breath. I tried to calm her, but she shook her head at me. "She doesn't make it." She barely whispered this to me.

The despair I felt was not only from the two of them, but also my own.

"No…how…No." I couldn't even think for one minute that something would happen to Esme or any other member of our family.

"We need to hurry." She pulled my hand and we ran out the door to go.

"It'll be faster to run, rather than drive." Edward said as he took off.

Alice and I were right behind him.

Carlisle POV

A half mile before we even got to the accident site we could see the smoke. I could hear the flames and hear my family. Oh, what I wouldn't give to somehow go back in time to change this.

"Come on you guys."

"Just push the front a little more to the right."

"Oww..please, stop.."

"Shhh..It's going to be ok Bella."

"Dr. Cullen?" The drive looked over at me quizzically. "Do you want out here?" I hadn't realized that we had gotten so close to the accident.

"Umm, yeah. This is perfect." I reached down and grabbed my stuff and the driver, the paramedic from the back and myself all jumped out and ran up to the truck in front of us.

"Dad!" Emmett was the first to see me. I was pretty taken aback by his appearance. He was…filthy…he was covered in dirt, leaves, grass and what I could only assume to be soot from the car that was smoldering to the right of us.

"Are you ok son?" I asked him quietly.

"I guess so." He shrugged his shoulders and looked over to Rosalie, who was walking around from the other side of the truck.

When Rosalie saw me, she froze and her face fell. She ran to me and I automatically opened up my arms to receive her.

"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry…I don't know what happened or how it happened…" She began sobbing into my chest.

"Shhh..It will be ok. I know we'll work together to get thru this." I pulled her away from me to look into her eyes. "Rosalie, I don't hold you responsible for anything, please believe me."

She nodded slightly and looked down.

"I really need to see the occupant of the truck, I do believe she's going to need to get to the hospital soon."

"Right, right. Edward and Alice are with her now. I think they have kept the bleeding under control, at least it's seemed that way." She glanced at the truck and back to me.

Emmett reached out and pulled Rose to him. They looked pitiful. They were both covered in earth. I don't think I'd seen Rosalie look so broken since…well since the day I found her.

Sighing I rushed to the truck to look at my patient.

Bella Swan was definitely in a precarious position. It looked as if the left side of her truck is the side that had made impact with Rosalie's car. The dash had been pushed forward into her legs and her left leg had been crushed between the dash and her seat right above the knee. Her head had smacked into the steering wheel somehow and she had a large gash across her forehead right at her hairline.

I was amazed that Edward and Alice had been able to maintain such close contact with her, as there was quite a large amount of blood spilled from her.

I began tending to her right away. Alice had put a tourniquet on her upper thigh using a belt, to stop some of the blood loss from her leg and Edward was holding some material to her head putting pressure on that cut. I was very impressed with both of them.

"Mmmm..What happened..?" She muttered very softly.

"Shh Bella, it's going to be ok. Carlisle is going to take care of you." Edward said softly to her.

"Emmett pulled the dash off of her leg right as you pulled up and Alice put the belt on to stop the bleeding." Edward looked at me and said.

"Good, All of you have done a wonderful job. I'm very proud of the work you've done. I know this can't be easy on any of you." I sighed again and began working on Bella.

"Why don't the two of you go on and make sure Rosalie and Emmett are ok. I imagine that Nick and Rob are probably wanting to assess them. You should intervene." I wanted to talk to Rose and Emmett as soon as I got Bella taken care of. I needed to know what happened.

"Ok, Carlisle." Alice said quickly and quietly and she was out of the truck in an instant.

Edward however didn't move. He kept what I now knew was someone's jacket pressed to Bella's forehead.
