"I hope you're hungry." I chuckled.

"Very much so, thank you." She smiled down at her hands in her lap. Everything that she did, made me fall more and more in love with her. She may not remember anything from our past, but she was still my Alice.

"You're welcome." I smiled back at me from over my shoulder. I then grabbed a pot from over my head and placed it on the burner. We had never used anything in this kitchen before. We had never had the need to.

After I finished every course, I placed the dishes in front of her.

"Are you not eating?" I hesitated for a second, which would have been highly noticeable had she been a vampire. I came up with something quickly.

"I already ate darling. You just worry about getting yourself fed. It's been a while since you've last eaten, am I correct?

She nodded her head and finished her food. I was hoping that everything was alright, because it had been centuries since I had actually cooked anything let alone tasted the foods that I had laid out in front of her.

I stood up after she had finished and out the plates in the sink. I would have to remember to wash them later.

"That was so good, thank you so much." She complemented. I just laughed and sat back down in front of her.

"So, little miss. What is it that you would like to do today?" I questioned her.

Just then I felt a change in her emotions. Before she had been happy and content, but now she was filled with worry. I had assumed that she was thinking about school.

"You're fine. Carlisle talked to the school already. You aren't expected back until next Monday." I smiled at her worry. I didn't like when she was upset by something, but her worry about education was something that I have yet to see from her in all of our years together. It was kinda' cute.

Right then Edward walked in quietly. "You're gonna have to stop doing that bro. We all do." I chastised him mentally.

"He only wishes that he was that cool." I contorted my face. What was that about?

"Hey pixie. How are you feeling?" He ruffled her hair, which made her cringe away from him.

"I'm as alright as I can be, I guess. Aren't you two supposed to be in school?" She then looked from Edward to then to me and back again to Edward. Like I said. Still so cute. Edward shot me a look of disgust, but hid it before Alice could see.

Edward sat down next to her and shook his head. "Nope. We were left in charge of you. So what is it that you want to do today?" He looked up and down her small, yet perfect figure. "How about we go shopping?" I then shot him a death glare. That was the one thing that I had never liked from when she was a vampire. At least now she wouldn't be able to go all day. Don't get me wrong, I loved hanging out with her, but I hated the mall.

She examined herself. "In these clothes? I don't think so"

I laughed. She was so adorable. "In all fairness, I think you look beautiful." I exclaimed to her.

She looked down and blushed, which caused me to look away. I couldn't risk anything.

"Thanks, but seriously, I look like a hot mess, and I can't go to the mall in a cheerleading outfit. You just don't do that." She said in an as-a-matter-of-factly tone.

"I see what you mean." Edward agreed. "I'm sure that you could fit into something of Rosalie's or Bella's. Why don't we go try?" He stood and held his hand out for her to follow. Alice stood and grabbed his hand, and they both made their way towards the steps.

"Wait." I stood and ran to the front of the table. I need to remember not to do that. "I have a better idea." Edward looked towards me and smiled.

I walked towards her, only looking at her. When I reached Alice, I held out my arm for her to take. When she wrapped her hand around my arm, I smiled, and laid my hand on hers. I was enjoying her emotions. They were light and bubbly and happy. I really couldn't believe that I had my beautiful angel back with me.

I escorted her back up to our room and stopped at the walk in closet, with my hands on the handles.

"Are you ready for this?" I asked her smiling.

"Ready for what?" She questioned, with massive amounts of confussion emitting off of her.

I just shook my head laughing, turned the door knob, and pushed them open. I stood back and waitied to see her reaction.

She just stood there with my mouth open unable to move. I moved my hand as to say go in.

She walked straight to her favorite dress. God how much she didn't realize that she was like herself.

"Pick anything that you'd like. I am sure that they are all your size." I said knowing that she would have a hard time deciding which one.

She picked out a short blue dress that she had only worn once before. Of course it fit her perfectly and hit her just right. Everything in that closet was custom tailored for the both of us.

She had cIosed the doors behind her so that she could get changed. I sat on the bed awaiting her departure from the vast closet.

I hopped up off of the bed and ran to the tall jewelry box on the other side of the room, and pulled out her old necklace. It went perfectly with her outfit. I sat back down on the bed just in time.

She opened the doors and walked out doing a little twirl. "How do I look?" She asked. How could she ask that? She always looked so perfect. No matter what she wore.

"Almost perfect." I said cockily standing up from the bed, and walking towards her. I twirled my fingers to motion for her to turn around.

She complied and turned so that she was facing the full length mirror. I was about as tall as the mirror, while Alice was half the size of it.

I slowly wrapped my arms around her and pulled out the necklace from my palm. I then smiled while fastening the necklace from behind her. I tugged on the chain so that it would lay just right on her collar bone. How many times had I kissed that lovely collar bone? And her shoulder? No Whitlock! You cannot think about that. Not right now.

She looked up and smiled brightly. "It's perfect. Thank you. For everything." She said while looking into my eyes through the mirror.

"You're welcome Darlin'" I leaned in slowly and gently to kiss her cheek. At first her emotions were surprised, but happy and loving. Then they turned to guilt and confusion. What was she thinking about?

She looked around the room and stopped when she reached the dresser next to us. Crap! I contemplated running and grabbing the picture before she could see it, but it was too late.

"What the hell?" She exclaimed as she reached out and grabbed the picture. "Jasper? What is this? Who is this?" She quizzed me while feelings of hate, sorrow, confusion, fear, and guilt radiated off of her. All of these emotions, I never wanted her to feel.

I looked deep into her eyes. It was too late. I had to tell her. How was I to tell this poor innocent little girl who just lost everything, that she was doomed to be paired with a monster, a nightmare, like me? "Alice, please darlin'. It's a long story." I closed his eyes and shook my head mentally cursing myself. "I was just hoping that I didn't have to tell you this way."

It was all that I was thinking of last night. How was I to tell her? There was no possible way not to hurt or scare her. How would she react?

"I need your help Edward!" I mentally called for him.

"No way Jasper. You have to tell her by yourself. Be completely honest and tell her everything. Start with telling her what we are. Do it gently." He explained from downstairs. He was barely talking above a whisper, but it didn't matter.

"Tell me what Jasper? What is this about? Did I know you? " She shouted all at once. And with a long pause, she said what she has wanted to say for a long time. "Where is your wife Jasper? Who is she? What happened to her?"

I laughed and shook my head. "Like I said. It's a long story." I turned my hand to the bed. "Do you have time?"

She nodded and sat on the corner of the bed. I'm glad that she was going to let me explain, but would this change how she felt? Would she feel forced to love me instead of it being her choice?

"I can't do this Edward!"

"Yes you can. Just go slow." He urged me on.

"Fine, but I'm stealing your line!"

He just laughed and continued to play the piano.

I looked up at her not having realized that I had looked down.

"My family, we're different from others." I started my explanation.

"What does this have to do with anything? And I already know about Edward being able to read minds."

I chuckled. "Darlin', that is only the beginning." She looked at me confused, but I continued. I took a deep breath and took her hand. She gasped and grabbed it with both of her hands in an attempt to warm it up.

"We're vampires."

She took a sharp intake of breath. After that she did something that I was not expecting in a million years.

She smiled! She really smiled!

"Well that really does explain a lot. Why you didn't eat, how you got to the other side of the counter so fast, the red eyes, and the skin."
I looked at her confused. "Red eyes? Skin? But I didn't show you any of that."

She looked up with wide eyes and then looked down and blushed. "Oh yeah, about that. I sort of had a dream, and I had red eyes and sparkly skin. We were in a field. But I don't think that it was a dream."

"What makes you say that?"

She pointed over to the mirror. "That mirror was there, and it had that same exact frame. Also," She pointed to my guitar. "That was there to."

I just shook my head smiling. "Wow."

"Is that too weird?"

"No! I would have expected it really." I laughed.

She looked at me baffled.

"There is so much more that I have yet to tell you darlin'."

"Okay…So start with Alice. I mean the girl in this picture. Who is she?"

"Alice? Well, there is only one way to say this. She was you."

Her jaw dropped in bewilderment, and I nodded.

"Yup. You were a vampire. You were turned in 1920 and spent 28 years looking for me after having a vision when you first woke up."

"Wait, so you were the first thing that I saw when I was a vampire?"

I chuckled. "Well actually, I am your oldest memory. You see, you could remember nothing at all from your past."
"Why?"

"We never found out." I explained.

"Oh, so what happened to me?"

"That is what we were hoping that you knew. You and I were lying in bed one night, and the next morning, you were gone. Edward had read your mind and tried to get to you, but he was too late. All you had told him is that you had to go." I shrugged.

She leaned over and hugged me. "I am so sorry to have put you all through that."

I chuckled and held her tight. "There is no need to be sorry Alice. All that you have to do is promise that you will never leave me again."

She let out a single chuckle/sob. "I promise."

"Oh, Alice. Please don't cry Darlin'. I didn't mean to upset you."
"Oh, no! It's not that! No, it's just that…I'm glad that you aren't already claimed."
I doubled over in laughter. "As I am you, Alice."

"So I could see the future in that life to?"
"Yeah. It was your power. As Edward's is the ability to read minds. Bella's is the ability to shield herself and others from a vampire's power. Your niece, Renesmee has the ability to show you her thoughts. And my ability is that I can sense and manipulate other's feelings."

"Wait, so I have a niece and you can really do that?"

I sent her a wave of happiness and she burst out laughing as if I were tickling her. "What do you think?"

"Okay, okay! I! Believe! You! Please! Stop!" She tried to say in-between laughter.

"As you wish my love." I stopped sending her emotions, and she sat up straight an punched me in the arm.

"Ouch!" I rubbed my arm grinning pretending that that hurt me.

"What, a big bad vampire can't handle a little pixie?"

"Oh, I'm going to make you wish that you never said that." And at that moment I was on her side of the bed and on top of her smiling down at her. I bent down slowly and kissed her lips repeatedly. I chuckled and continued kissing Alice passionately. "God I missed this." I moaned into her mouth, pulling away and kissing from her cheek down to the side of her neck. I looked down at her and I could hear her heartbeat speeding up.

It took me a while to realize what I was doing, but by the time that that had happened, Edward had already ran upstairs and ripped me off of her and pushed me into the wall opposite of her.

I looked at him and then at her. She had a look of shock on her face. She hadn't known what I was about to do.

What was I about to do? Was I really going to hurt her?!

"No, you weren't dear brother, but I was just taking a precaution. You cannot be doing that Jasper. I was barely able to when Bella was human. You do not have the strength. Especially since you let it decline when she disappeared."

I just looked down at m feet, not even feeling worthy of looking at her. What was I thinking?
