Alice's POV

I found myself lost in the pore depth that his warm golden eyes held, they were filled with many different emotions. Love, pride, compassion, joy. In the utter blackness that I was trapped in not five minutes ago Jasper's memory was the only thing keeping me from going insane. I truly needed him to keep me going and he was going to be with me for the rest of eternity.

"Jasper!" I laughed, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck, pulling myself closer to my husband.

"Hello my love," He chuckled, hugging me tightly as if he never wanted to let me go.

I responded to this gladly and pressed myself closer than I ever thought possible...well in public. He winced lightly, slowly loosening my grip on him. I looked up, rejection in my face as he did so.

"Careful...Ow," Jasper smiled, stroking my cheeks lightly, instantly removing any of the signs of rejection. "You're just a little bit stronger than I am at the moment, but remember, it will pass." He called away, through the door. "Carlisle, Edward, Emmett? She's awake now,"

I heard the pairs of footsteps lightly walk up the stairs and towards the office, I could tell by the way the sound went from lightest to heaviest that Edward was at the front, followed by Carlisle and then Emmett. They all came through the door, smiling as they did so, their teeth glistening eight colour rainbows as they grinned with happiness.

"Alice dear, how are you feeling? No signs of pain or confusion are there?" Carlisle asked his voice fatherly yet calm like a doctors would be when he treated a patient.

"I'm fine thanks Carlisle, just the normal burning in my throat," As I said the pain suddenly increased and I clutched at my throat, unravelling it from around Jasper.

"Well you know we could easily get that all sorted out Alice, why don't you go hunting with Jasper for a bit? That would most definitely help you,"

"Of course, come on Lis, lets go bag us some mountain lions, don't you agree?" He spoke, taking my hand away from my throat and holding it against his cheek, inhaling the scent, " I know you can do this, you're a natural," Jasper's eyes twinkled as he lead me out of the window and raced me over the river. As my vision told me I would win and I would get the biggest lion.

I pounced on the unsuspecting lion as he lay lazily in the midday sun, he had no time to react as I sunk my razor sharp teeth into his soft supple neck, drinking eagerly as if it was a competition between me and Jasper. Jasper just leaned happily against a tree trunk, watching me as I darted in and out of sight, searching for bigger and bigger prey. When I was finally finished and the burn in my throat muted I skipped gently back to his side, taking his hand.

"I've missed these days ever since you told me you were pregnant, just seeing you gracefully take down that lion brought all of the memories back, and I can't tell you how proud I am of you for all of your efforts and devotion, I bet you're wondering how she is,"

"Of course I have, I just knew that I had to be in control of myself before you would even consider letting me anywhere near her. So tell me, what is she like?" I asked as we wandered slowly back to the house hand in hand, in no great rush for anything.

"She is the most beautiful little girl I have seen in my entire life, Serena has the most amazing bluely-golden coloured eyes anybody has ever seen, and her hair is a short but curly midnight black. Serena loves to laugh and mess around with her toys, especially when Esme gives her crayons; she's very artistic like her mother. She is very similar to Renesmee, she has already learnt to speak and she said her very first word just before you woke up," He smiled proudly.

"What did she say?" I asked as we landed from jumping over the river.

"She was wondering where her mother was, are you ready to come meet her? She's been wanting you for almost three days, Lis,"

"Are you sure I'm ready? Will Emmett and Edward be there just in case?"

"Of course, we all will be, you can do this Lis, you have exactly the same control from before this all happened. The only thing different is your eyes but they will soon fade in time."

I breathed slowly as I walked through the front door and came face to face with my daughter…
