Hey! Yeah, don't get used to the constant updates. :D
I have nothing to say... So, enjoy!
Chapter 21
Alice's POV
Sabrina grew at a human rate. She was strong and her skin was tough, her senses were advanced, and she only ate human food. By the time she was eight we were sure she was immortal, just like her family.
I was trying to convince Jasper to let the kids date.
"Never." he said for the hundredth time.
"Why not? They're eighteen."
"And I didn't date until I was twenty."
"That was over a hundred years ago. And plus you didn't date, you found me."
"I just don't want them to get hurt."
"Honey, they won't get hurt. And Rose's kids are already dating, they're seventeen."
"But that's up to Rose and Emmett. And where would they meet their dates?"
"Online."
"Yeah, cause that's so safe."
I tapped my forehead. "I'd see anything."
He hugged me. "but your vision is so cloudy now."
"I'm starting to see past that." it was true; Nessie, Sabrina, and the wolves weren't causing me nearly as much trouble as they had.
"Well, okay... But if you see anything, and I mean anything, tell me." he surrendered.
"Great! I'm gonna call Rose!" I danced around the room as we talked.
"Hello?" Rosalie answered.
"hey Rose, its me."
"So what did Jasper say?"
"He agreed!"
"Excellent! I'll go tell Lyz to tell Alexander." she hung up.
"Alexander?" Jasper asked.
"Lyz's boyfriend. He's a vampire."
"What does he have to do with our kids?"
"Well, he has a brother, and Lyz wanted to get him together with Phoebe."
"And where does Alexander live?"
"Romania."
jasper's POV
"Absolutely not. I will not have my daughter date a Romanian." I said, folding my arms across my chest.
"He isn't part of the Romanian coven that you know. He's a vegetarian."
"How can we be sure?" I said. She tapped her forehead again. Curse her ability! "wWell, I guess I'll just have to trust you." I was left with no other options.
"Perfect! Thanks you, honey. Phe will be so happy!" she hugged me.
"So, whats this mystery boy's name?"
"Claude Lupei. He, Alexander, and their sister Kate are adopted siblings like Edward and Emmett are."
"How did Lyz meet Alexander, anyway?"
"The internet."
"Oh, how did we ever get by without the internet!" I said, and we both laughed.
Chapter 22
Alice's POV
"Daddy said I can?" Phoebe jumped off her bed and hugged me.
"Whoa, don't knock me over." why did everyone have to be taller than me?
"Oh, sorry Mom." she smiled and let me go.
"And yes, your father agreed." I said. She smiled wider.
"If you like that your gonna love this. Claude, Alexander, and Kate are coming to visit tomorrow." her smile faded.
"T..t..TOMORROW!" she stuttered.
"Calm down, sweetie." I said. Not the reaction I had expected.
"I can't! I'm going to meet my boyfriend in less than TWENTY FOUR HOURS!" she was literally falling apart.
"Phoebe Ann Hale, calm down and listen to me." that seemed to work; she sat down on her bed and looked to me. I sat next to her as I spoke.
"Don't worry. I won't let my only daughter mess up on her first date." I hugged her.
"Okay, mom." she smiled.
"So let's go pick out your outfit!" I grabbed her hand and we ran to my closet. She stopped at the door as I went through rack after rack of dresses.
"Perfect." I mumbled, grabbing a black and purple everyday dress. I handed it to Phoebe and she tried it on, following me to the jewelry.
"Ooh!" she said, pointing at a spiderweb choker.
"Wear it." I smiled. That was one of my favorites too.
We picked a lavender bracelet and matching heels. By the time we were finished it was late.
"Go get some sleep. We're leaving at noon tomorrow." she ran off to her room and I went to tell the boys to go to sleep too, but they were already in their rooms. Jasper was sitting alone in the family room.
"Hey honey." he said as I walked into the room. I sat next to him.
"Are you ready for this?" I said.
"Ready for what?"
"for our kids to date."
"I'm ready if your ready." I smiled at him. I had a feeling we were ready.
Jasper's POV
"Everyone in the cars!" Alice said, and we all climbed into her Porsche, Emmett's jeep, or Rosalie's BMW.
As we drove towards the Seattle airport, Alice prepared Phoebe. I tried to focus on the road, but its hard not to listen.
"And if he looks you in the eyes, don't say anything. Just look back." she said. It was a good thing Lee and Aaron stayed home, or they would be mocking Phoebe the whole time.
We parked and walked towards the entrance. We didn't get far though; at the entrance there was three people waiting for us.
There was a short girl with long red hair. She looked to be about seventeen when she was changed. On her right was a boy, around eighteen, with short brown hair. The other was a tall boy, about nineteen, with blonde hair down to his shoulders.
"Elizabeth!" the boy with brown hair said in a heavy accent.
"Alexander!" she said, hugging him. Alexander turned to us. "Hello. I am Alexander, this is Kate and Claude." he motioned toward the others.
"This is my family, mom, dad, Aunt Alice, Uncle Jasper, Phoebe, and Drake." We smiled.
The girl, Kate, walked forward to Drake. I could feel the attraction between them. They smiled, hugging each other.
All that was left was Phoebe and Claude. The both stood there awkwardly, watching the other couples. Phoebe had never been shy before; actually quite the opposite. Whenever she had the chance to do something, she would go for it without a doubt.
Alice patted her on the back, and she seemed to have awakened from a trance. She walked over to Claude, and he smiled down at her.
Chapter 23
Alice's POV
It was adorable! The whole ride home Claude and Phoebe sat looking into each others eyes, not saying a single word.
When we got home our visitors went to the clubhouse, which also served as guest house. Phoebe, Lyz, and Drake went with them.
"I don't like him. His hair is too long." Jasper said.
"It's cute." I defended.
"It makes him look like a rebel."
"Maybe Phe likes a rebel." I smiled.
"Maybe." just then Phoebe walked into the house, smiling so wide I though she might be stuck that way. I ran over and hugged her. Jasper sighed and came to stand behind me.
"Hi dad!" she hadn't realized he didn't approve of Claude.
"Hi sweetie." we stood in silence for a few minutes, then there was a knock on the door.
"Oh, that's Claude. We were gonna go for a walk, if you guys don't mind." Phoebe said.
"Go ahead, sweetie." I said, drowning out the sound of Jasper's "we do mind."
"Hi Claude!" she opened the door and hugged him.
"Hello, Phoebe." he took her hand. She smiled to us and walked out the door.
An hour later I was laying on the bed reading, Jasper looking out the window.
"She'll get home eventually. Don't worry."
Jasper's POV
O was half tempted to go outside and look for Phoebe when I heard something just outside the front door. Alice and I froze, listening for more.
We walked slowly down the stairs. Alice pulled open the door. standing there on the porch was Phoebe, half hidden in Claude's arms. they were both too distracted by the kiss to realize we were watching.
"Phoebe Ann Hale!" I said, shocked. she broke free of Claude and turned to face us.
"Dad! Mom!" she was wide eyed.
Claude hurriedly said goodbye and went back to the clubhouse, quickly realizing what had happened.
"How could you!" she screamed, and ran to her bedroom.
"What...?" I said. she was mad at us?
"Don't worry, I'll talk to her." Alice said, running after Phoebe.
chapter 24
Alice's POV
I knocked on phoebe's door.
"Go away!" her anger was muffled by her tears.
"Sweetie, can I talk to you?"
"Mom? Okay." I heard the door unlock. Walking in, I found Phoebe sitting on her mushroom chair, hugging a pillow. her face was stained with tears.
"Phe, calm down. I'm sorry your dad reacted that way. he was just shocked."
"You have no idea how it feels! Claude will never talk to me again!" she burst into tears again.
"Only a fool will let a little embarrassment get in the way of love."
"How can you be sure?"
"Hello? I've been married to your father for over fifty years." we laughed. "Now get some sleep. you can go apologize to Claude tomorrow."
The next morning Phoebe woke early, ate quickly, and asked for fashion advice. After I had dressed her in a black shirt with skinny jeans, she ran off to the clubhouse.
"Jasper, do not freak out." O could 'see' Phoebe coming with Claude, holding hands.
"Okay..." he seemed apologetic.
Sure enough, ten seconds later we heard the door open. Jasper started to get up, but I held him back.
"Wait until he leaves." After ten minutes of silence the door opened and shut again.
we walked downstairs, and found Phe standing alone in front of the door, her hand still on the knob. She was clearly angry, but there were silent tears running down her face.
Jasper's POV
The anger was overwhelming. Alice ran to Phoebe and hugged her, and I focused on happiness. It helped, but only slightly. O walked forward and hugged them both, shocked.
"What's wrong, Sweetie?" I said.
"I broke up with him."
"Why?" Alice looked confused.
"I don't know. It just seemed too perfect, like this was all a dream and I would wake up any minute. I wouldn't be able to stand it if I lost him any other way but this."
"Oh sweetie, it's okay." Alice hugged her, again.
"I'll be fine."
"Okay. you want to go get ice cream? you need a pick me up." Alice asked.
"Sure." phoebe said.
I hugged them, and stood at the porch as they drove off.
