A/N: This chapter is only Jasper's POV. The major focus is Nessie's return but I promise the next chapter will return to Quinn/Jasper stuff.

When the hugging had ended, Nessie demanded an answer to her question.

"Well it's complicated Nessie. You see...your mom and dad fought so much after you left, that Bella decided to run away. And end her relationship with your father. Uh, after learning that Uncle Jazz kissed a human, Quinn, who's here, Aunt Alice got upset and accidentally revealed that she's...in love with your dad. He ran away, and Alice ran after him," Rosalie tried to say it as smoothly as possible. It didn't work. Nessie sunk down onto the couch.

"My mom and dad ended their relationship because I ran away?" she asked. Esme sat down and ran her fingers through Renesmee's copper curls.

"No, baby. When you ran away, it just brought up the faults in the relationship we hadn't known about. Nessie, it isn't your fault," Esme soothed her. Jasper looked at Quinn, her discomfort evident on her face. Nessie looked up at Quinn as well.

"And so...you and Jasper are in love and together now?" she asked slowly, brown eyes flickering over the human. Quinn nodded.

"I'm so sorry," she started.

"Don't be. I know that there's no stopping love. Trust me," Nessie replied. Jasper smiled to himself, wondering, no...praying that Nessie had made a decision.

"Edward and Alice haven't returned yet," Jasper said solemnly.

"Where did mom go?"

"We think to forks...to be with Jacob," Rosalie sighed. Renesmee looked at them quizzically.

"You haven't heard then? Seven months after I left, a miracle occurred. First, Leah imprinted. On Jake. Then, this is the miraculous part, Jake imprinted a second time, on Leah. They've been together ever since," Nessie informed them. Jasper traded looks with Esme in pure shock. Jacob and Leah? A second imprinting? Jacob had told them that was impossible. Quinn looked at Jasper.

"I think I should go," she whispered. He shook his head, wanting her to stay. As soon as he did, the door burst open.

"Nessie, thank god! I knew I heard your thoughts," Edward beamed, running to his daughter and pulling her into a tight embrace that Jasper thought would never end.

"Dad, they told me you ran away," Nessie sighed happily. Edward rested his hand on her back. He looked at his family...ashamed.

"I...did. I needed time, Nessie. But your thoughts...I just couldn't stay away," he smiled. Nessie smiled.

"I heard about you and mom. I'm sorry," she said. Edward kissed her forehead.

"Don't be, Nessie. Maybe this was for the best," he said helplessly. Jasper looked at the doorway. Alice hovered their. Their eyes met and an understanding was reached. They forgave each other. They could move past this. They could be siblings. In fact, Alice smiled when she saw Jasper's hand linked with Quinn's. Esme and the others hugged the two final members of the family. Alice moved to stand next to Edward, their hands almost brushing. Jasper could feel the love rolling off of them. He smiled to himself. Quinn was right. This all worked out. Jasper had Quinn, and Alice had Edward now. Edward nodded, confirming Jasper's thoughts.

"Nessie, why don't you step outside with me. I have something to ask you," he said, casting a reassuring look at Alice.

"Jazz, I really think I should go now. This is...a personal affair," Quinn told him.

"Oh no, Quinn, please don't leave," Esme smiled up at her. Alice looked at her family with adoration.

"I hope you all, and Nessie, don't mind. This re-partnering took like fifty years," Alice said sheepishly.

"As long as you all are happy," Carlisle nodded. Finally, Nessie came back in, holding hands with her father and looking at Alice with forgiveness and affection.

"I guess I could get used to this. Jasper? Can I see you outside?" she asked. Jasper looked at Quinn. He kissed her quickly before following Nessie far enough away so that Edward couldn't hear their thoughts. He looked at his niece, enthralled to have her return.

"Please tell me you picked between Seth and Alec," he said hopefully. Renesmee shook her head.

"Not at all. I'm so sorry Jasper. But I can't. It's impossible," she said, tears glistening in her eyes. Jasper sunk down next to her, drowning in sympathy for her.

"Nothing's impossible, Nessie," he reassured her. She pressed her hand to his, transferring her memories of her time away from her home. The first one was of when Alec found her.

"Nessie, will you please talk to me?" Alec had called out. Renesmee had whirled on him.

"Alec, I ran away to be alone. You're not helping," she seethed. Alec took her hand.

"Just listen to me," he asked softly. Nessie turned around to look at him, cocking her head to indicate that she'd run if he didn't hurry up.

She looked at his eyes and was met with a shock. She hadn't seen him for months. And now...his eyes were golden instead of red.

"Have you gone vegetarian?" Renesmee asked, forgetting that she was mad at him, just stuck in the beauty of his eyes. She'd loved his crimson eyes, but this was a new level of beauty all together.

"For you. I know how much you hate it when I drink Humans," he smiled. Jasper could feel Nessie's awe, gratitude and affection. She kissed him then. Their first kiss. Soft, sweet...innocent.

The second memory was of when Nessie returned to Forks to see Seth. When he saw her he smiled and lifted her above his head, spinning her around. He set her down and his warm embrace enclosed her.

"Nessie, I missed you," he said, tenderness filling his voice. Nessie smiled. He took her hand and they walked together.

"I miss you too," she admitted. Seth beamed at her, eyes filled with adoration. He rested his arm around her waist, but he didn't try to pull anything. He wasn't cocky like Alec. It was just pure affection.

Jasper was pulled out of her memories.

"Nessie, I know you need help with this decision. But I can't feel for you. You need to do this yourself," He told her, pulling her into a hug. Nessie nodded miserably, as if she'd expected him to say that.

"Alright. Let's go back. Quinn must be getting worried," she sighed. Jasper felt guilt eat at him. Quinn...god he had not given her enough attention today.

He'd make up for it though. He had too.
