Hi Guys hope your still enjoying.

Chapter 11 - Support

The new pattern of Edward being gone before we got outside, and him spending the entire day with Bella continued through the next day, I was beginning to think Edward wouldn't talk to us again and I was feeling terrible. I wished Jasper and I had done more to support him in his revelation. I was spending a lot of alone time with Jasper, I needed to feel his love.

I completely missed seeing Edward coming home that night after he dropped Bella off because Jasper and I were preoccupied.

He called us all as soon as we got in the door. Jasper and I headed downstairs quickly. I was trying to concentrate to find out what was going on with Bella, hoping I hadn't missed something, I was having trouble seeing her at all.

"Take a seat please." Edward asked as we all convened in the living room. I sat next to Jasper holding his hand. The room went quiet.

"I first want to apologize for losing my temper, it was uncalled for I know you were just trying to help. I would also like to say that I want to keep Bella human, I know a time may come when I have to make a decision, but this isn't the time."

I nodded and gave him an encouraging smile. He smiled at me appreciatively.

"I also wanted to add that this may be more difficult than I had anticipated, Billy Black showed up at Bella's house while I was dropping her off. He does not think this is a legend, I can tell you that now, it was hard to concentrate with the amount of hatred spewing from his mind."

"Hmm I was afraid of that!" Carlisle said sitting forward "He and chief Swan are good friends, I remember Charlie telling me about the disagreement they had gotten into because of Billy's silly superstitions."

"So this is worse than we thought!" Rose chipped in, "Not only is Edward dating the police chiefs daughter, but the guys also happens to be good friends with one of the Quileute counsel members. Do you really think this is a good idea Edward?"

"No I don't Rosalie, but I can't stay away from her."

"You can't or you won't!" Rosalie Spat out.

"Both!" Edward kept his calm, but I could see his hands tensed up into balls. "Alice can you see anything?"

I closed my eyes and concentrated with all my efforts on Bella, I saw her and Edward together.

"Nothing different than before, I think we're safe!"

Edwards eyes intensified, "Are we?"

I knew he was asking if Bella was going to be safe with him, so I smiled and nodded. As far as I could see he would be fine, as would she when she got home.

He nodded his head once more at me and smiled and took a deep breath, the more I told him nothing changed the more relaxed he became.

"Well I'll see what I can do Edward but I think you just need to keep an eye out for him for now. I'm sure Alice will something if the situation changes."

I nodded in agreement. "I will keep an eye on everything!"

Rosalie and Emmett disappeared to their room again. I knew Rose was unhappy, I think she was convinced that Edward was going to give into temptation on his date Saturday and it would change everything for us. I knew she didn't understand and I was thinking about this when Edward approached me.

"Alice I was wondering if you could go hunting with me tomorrow, I want to take every precaution I can before I'm alone with her."

"Of course I will Edward!"

"Jasper?" Edward asked.

I looked at Jasper hopefully. I was hoping he would say yes so that Edward would know that he had his support, but I knew with the Quileutes being so persistent his views were changing a little. His shook his head apologetically and walked away.

"He'll get over it. They all will, they're just worried."

"I know, I'm worried Alice. I can't be without her though." Once again in that instant his humanity was shining through. The longer he seemed to spend with Bella the more his human emotions took hold of him. I was sure that he didn't see this and it was why he was worrying so much about the date.

I nodded, "I know and your not going to hurt her Edward, I can see that, I've been seeing that since you made the decision to be with her."

"Good to know!"

I nodded and headed after Jasper I knew Edward would be heading back to Bella's before long. "I'll talk to you later Edward, stop dwelling on it and focus on being with her. I'm going to find Jasper. Edward nodded and headed towards the front door.

I got to our room just behind Jasper.

"What was that about?" I asked. He was laid down on the couch and pulled me down to him wrapping his arms around me.

"He was asking to be polite, I think he wants to talk to you in confidence. Don't worry I told him in my head I understood." he laughed and kissed my neck.

"Why didn't he just ask?"

"I was feeling his emotions he is tense, I think he needs your reassurance."

I rolled in Jasper's arms until I was facing him. And I kissed his throat. "You are a good Man Jasper Hale!"

He laughed and kissed the top of my head. "Only because of you Alice Cullen!"

I lay for a while listening to his breathing, it was very hypnotizing, my mind wandered away and I closed my eyes. I saw Edward and Bella in a meadow very close to one another. Edward was telling Bella about his thirst for her blood and she sat patiently with nothing but interest on her features. For a human Bella was surprisingly relaxed around him, there was no shying away, no hesitance, jut pure emotion, she loves him!

My eyes popped open as Jasper kissed my forehead.

"That was nice!" he whispered. I knew he was referring to my rush of loving emotion.

"That wasn't me!" I whispered back laughing.

"You saw something?"

"Bella and Edward!" I giggled.

Jasper went quiet as he thought about what this meant, he knew as well as I did what that rush of love meant, I think he was having a hard time believing it.

"Bella's or Edward's?"

I smiled. "Bella's!"

"Really?"

I nodded, I knew he had never felt a human emotion that closely in a few years, but the very humanity of the feeling left us both feeling euphoric.

"Are you going to tell Edward?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "If it comes up!" I grinned, "Or if he see's it in my head!"

Jasper laughed and pulled me closer to him, I kissed him gently on the lips. "I love you Alice!" Jasper whispered.

The rest of the family was waiting for us the next morning. Jasper and I had spent the remainder of the evening and morning in our room, I was leaving school early with Edward to hunt and I knew Jasper would hate to be on his own. The morning went by as normal but after what I had seen during second period I was almost hopping out of my chair.

"Alice, will you please calm down, you're going to start me off!" Jasper mumbled under his breath.

"I'm sorry, I saw something and, well, I got excited, I'm okay now though." I grinned at him guiltily and pushed my food around the plate some more.

"Okay, I give up are you going to tell what this excitement pertains to?"

"I'm meeting Bella, informally, today!" Jasper smiled and laid his hand on my shoulder and held me steady.

I was continuing to push my food around the plate when I heard a hiss from Edward, I turned to see Rosalie glaring at Bella.

"What are you doing Rose?" I asked quietly. "I told you it's going to be fine!"

"I don't like it Alice, I just don't, she's human!" The words came hissing out of Rosalie like venomous poison.

"Really? I hadn't noticed!"

Rose shook her head and forcefully forked her food, the fork bent slightly under the pressure. She was still restraining herself no matter how angry she was.

"What will happen if something changes at the last second? It'll be too late for us to stop it!"

I sighed with frustration. "Rose, I don't know how to explain it to you any better, he loves her, his love is becoming just as dominant as his thirst."

"Just as dominant are you saying..."

"No that will never happen, his thirst for her will always be foremost whilst she's alive!"

Rose nodded to prove her point. I shook my head giving up, there was absolutely no point in arguing with Rose when she was in this kind of mood. She was infuriating.I looked at the clock on the cafeteria wall and decided to make a move. The room was slowly emptying of students. I got up and dumped my tray heading for Edward and Bella's table. I stopped behind Edward.

"Alice."

"Edward,"

'Introduce me Edward!' I yelled in my head. She was watching me curiously, I was still amazed at her lack of fear.

"Alice, Bella - Bella, Alice," Edward gestured between the two of us.

"Hello, Bella." I smiled but kept my teeth hidden I really didn't want to scare her after they were getting along so well. "It's nice to finally meet you."

Edward shot me look, he didn't want me to say to much.

"Hi, Alice," Bella's voice was soft and calm, but oozing with shyness. It was kind of adorable.

"Are you ready?" I asked, I wanted to head out before we were stopped by a curious teacher.

"Nearly. I'll meet you at the car."

I turned and headed towards the door, I didn't want to make the goodbye any more awkward than it had to be, I knew that Bella had been almost challenging him to find her truck key. Unfortunately she hadn't factored in me, she had made the decision to check and see whether her key was in her pants in the laundry room. Now I knew I would give Edward the heads up. I stopped at the Volvo and leaned against it. Edward showed up smiling broadly not long after and unlocked the door.

"Thanks for hunting with me Alice!"

"No problem Edward, oh I should let you know Bella's key are in her pants in the laundry room."

Edward grinned, "Thank you!" I knew he had been thinking about how he was going to find them. He probably would have relied on his sense of smell, but even then there was no guarantee, especially when she lived in the house. Her scent would be everywhere. I smiled, I knew how he loved to be right and I was glad to help, Bella actually seemed like she was good for him. I knew he was confused, but I had never, since the day I met him, seen him this happy. It was almost overwhelming, I didn't know how to deal with happy Edward.

We arrived at the Swan house within five minutes. Edward loved to drive fast that's why I loved riding with him, out of everyone in the family Edward could take any one of us in a side by side race. Edward hopped out and headed towards the front door, I jumped behind the wheel of the Volvo and waited, like the last time he was planning on driving the rust bucket to the school.
