A/N: ooo…it's getting exciting…kinda…okay not yet, but it will. Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight and all its characters.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jasper thought a moment on how to start. "They're the kind of royalty to vampires. They live in Italy, in Volterra. They enforce vampire rules. Or rule rather. I broke that rule, twice now. I told you and I told Bella. I automatically get killed if they find out. And, they'd kill you too Alice."

Bella was frozen next to me. I felt pretty frozen myself. "Is there any way around it?"

"I'm pretty sure that if you were to become a vampire, it'd be okay. Yes, you've seen it, yes, it'd make things easier. But Alice, I'm not taking your life away. You have so much ahead of you, so much to look forward to. You have a life, I don't. I'm dead. I can't do that to you."

"I've already told you Jasper, I want to be one of you. I want to be with you forever."

Bella looked down at me. "You want to be one of that?" She turned to Jasper sheepishly. "Sorry."

"Don't worry; that's how I feel about it too," Jasper told her.

"Is there any way the Volturi would let me live?" I asked.

Jasper looked thoughtful. "Well, considering your visions, I'd say you'd be psychic in a vampiric life. They'd find that valuable and keep you around so they could turn you and put you on their guard."

"I'd be psychic? I wouldn't even have to be asleep?" I asked in amazement.

"And just ignore the part I said about keeping you," Jasper said sarcastically.

"Sorry, I was just trying to be optimistic," I snapped.

"There's no optimism when it comes to the Volturi."

"Come on guys, don't fight," Bella interrupted.

"I'd lose anyway, it's hopeless," I muttered, crossing my arms stubbornly.

Jasper chuckled. "Yeah, it is."

"So…how do you…kiss with fangs?" Bella asked, blushing slightly.

Jasper smirked and tilted his head back, opening his mouth. "No fangs, but venom."

"So no full on making out, right?"

"Nope."

I rolled my eyes. "Much to my displeasure."

"Bells! Ali! Dinner!" Rosalie called from downstairs.

"Don't go anywhere," I told Jasper, walking over and pressing a kiss to his lips. "Unless you need to hunt."

"No, I did earlier, I'll stay," Jasper murmured.

Bella gawked. "You talk so openly about killing people?!"

"I hunt animals, Bella. I'm vegetarian." He chuckled once.

She nodded slowly before opening the door. "Okay."

I followed her downstairs and to the dining room.

"So, how was your convo about Jasper?" Rosalie asked, smirking and raising an eyebrow.

I shrugged and took a seat across the table from her.

"Mom, Dad…can we talk after?" Bella asked, looking down at her plate.

Mom and Dad exchanged a glance.

"Of course, honey," Mom said.

I reached under the table and grabbed Bella's hand, squeezing it before letting it go.

Bella gave me a grateful smile.

Rosalie looked between us, confused.

--

"Alice, I need moral support," Bella whispered, glancing at Mom and Dad.

I nodded. "Okay."

Bella let out a deep breath and turned to our parents. They were sitting on the couch across from the chair Bella was sitting in. I sat on the arm of the chair next to Bella. Bella grabbed my hand and gripped it.

"I found out something a little while ago…" Bella whispered, staring at her lap.

"You can tell us anything," Mom said gently.

"I'm pregnant," she said so quietly, I barely heard her.

Both Mom and Dad gasped.

"What did Edward say?" Mom asked finally.

Bella turned and sobbed into my side. "I haven't told him!"

I put a comforting arm around Bella. "It's okay, Bella."

"How does Alice fit into this?" Dad asked warily.

I looked up in surprise. "What?"

"She was the first one I told…this afternoon…" Bella told him.

And I'm dating a vampire…don't worry, he's pretty much safe, I thought. I wanted to tell my parents, but then again I didn't.

"Why don't you go upstairs, Alice? We need to talk Bella privately," Dad told me.

I nodded and detangled myself from Bella.

--

"How'd they take it?" Jasper asked when I came through the door.

"What if it wasn't me who came in?" I asked instead, sitting down next to him on my bed.

"I knew it was you. I could tell by your footsteps."

"My…footsteps?"

"I have great hearing. I can distinguish people by their footsteps."

"Wow…that's strange."

"For a human, yes."

I glared at him. "So you just have to make it known that I'm human and you're not every chance you get?"

Jasper smirked. "Yes."

Childishly, I stuck my tongue out at him.

He laughed.

"To answer your question, they were pretty surprised. Bella was always the good daughter. Rosalie was the wild one, the one more likely to get pregnant."

"And you? Which daughter were you?"

I shrugged. "Alice?"

"That's not very original."

"I don't know. I guess I was a cross between good and wild. I'd do some crazy things, but mostly I'm responsible."

"How crazy?"

"Dating a vampire is crazy."

Jasper rolled his eyes. "Before you met me."

I tried to remember a few of the crazy things I had done before. "I snuck out and went to a club with Rosalie, Emmett, and my ex-boyfriend Demetri once. Then Demetri and I-" I stopped, blushing.

"Go on," Jasper said.

"You'll get mad."

Jasper's eyes narrowed. "Tell me."

I knew he was messing with my emotions. I could feel the shift. "We had sex in his car that same night. Right outside the club."

"You're not a virgin?"

I laughed, shaking my head. "I've had a few boyfriends that I've slept with. And I highly doubt you're a virgin, hypocrite."

"That's right, I'm not. But, I've been alive since the 1800's. I think that entitles being able to have sex. You on the other hand…"

"1800s?!"

"Oh, I didn't tell you about that?"

"No!"

"Well, I was born in 1843. I fought in the Civil War from 1859 to 1863. Then, I met Maria."

"I'm dating an old man…"

Jasper laughed. "If you want to look at it that way."

"So…how old are you technically?"

"I was turned at age 20."

"Oh, so you're not that much older than me. I'm 17. It's almost legal."

"Not legal at all."

We sat in silence for a minute. Finally, Jasper broke it. "What did you see? That I would die for you?"

I bit my lip, trying to stop the tears. I nodded though. "I-I caused it…"
