Chapter Fourteen: Surprises, Sort Of

The weeks turned to months and there wasn't any sign of the Volturi. I couldn't believe this. They hadn't been notified yet. I was positive they'd have come if they knew. I still kept my eyes open and alert. Life had gone back to normal. It took ages but we were finally peacefully living again. I talked with my friends every now and then, and the Cullens. It was nice to keep in touch with them. Time moved on for us. It was so amazing. It had been two years since we had met. In fact, today was our anniversary. Jasper had been very cautious and never forgot it. I think he was terrified to bring on the wrath of a vampire, even if that vampire loved him with all of her un-beating heart.

Today Jasper had been acting very strange. Actually, he'd been acting strange all week. I wasn't sure what was going on. His future was sometimes very indecisive. I'd see him someplace but the vision would change before I had a chance to see where. Jasper had gone off somewhere and asked me to meet him by a lake we'd found at six. I'd readily agreed and it was now 5:57. I got up and went to the designated meeting area.

It was really a very nice place. It was a beautiful clearing surrounded by trees. The grass was a gorgeous green and there was a light breeze blowing today. The shore was sandy and had little shells here and there. The bottom of the lake was rocky and the water was clear. There was a gap in the trees and the sun was just about to set. It was always so beautiful when it did. I smiled and breathed in the fresh scent. It was so nice! Then Jasper came to stand beside me. He was wearing a simple plaid shirt and some jeans. I realized with a start that he was wearing the same thing we'd met in. I looked up at him curiously. He smiled at me, leaning down and planting a kiss on my lips. I gazed at him as he turned away from me.

He made his way to the lake's shore and sat down, looking out over the water. He heard me approach and smiled again. When I sat next to him, he put his head in my lap and sighed happily. I saw a vision of what was coming and gasped quietly, then broke into a beaming smile. I waited and pretended I hadn't seen. Jasper took a deep breath and I held mine. He sat up and turned to face me. This was it.

"Alice," he started. "I love you more then anything. You're the best thing that ever happened to me, and I'd like to spend eternity with you. I know you know I want you to change me. And I know how different things will be. How hard things might be for me. I want you to know I don't care what obstacles cross our paths. We'll make it through. I guess what I'm trying to say is this. Alice, I love you. Will you marry me?" he asked. I squealed and jumped onto him, knocking him into the grass.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Oh, Jasper! Of course I'll marry you!" I told him, covering him in kisses.

He laughed and struggled to sit up. I jumped off and he reached into his pocket. He pulled out a velvet box and opened it. I stared in shock. There nestled in the folds was the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen. It had a small diamond. Beautifully cut and perfect in every way. The diamond was cut in the shape of a kite and sparkled in the sun. Exactly like my skin. It was mounted on an amber band that matched my eyes. Engraved were the words 'I L. Y., Ali'. I guessed the 'L. Y.' stood for 'love you'. I felt tears of joy that would never fall come into my eyes. I beamed as Jasper took my hand and slid the ring onto my finger. A perfect fit. It was then that I realized why Jasper had been so secretive this past week. He had been trying to surprise me and it worked. That fact made this moment all the better. I threw myself onto Jasper again, knocking him once again to the ground. He gave up trying to rise and just laid there while I covered him in light kisses. He grinned and pulled me into an embrace. I sighed contently.

"I love you, Jazz. I'm so thrilled! The ring is perfect. You are the best thing to ever happen to me in my life. I love you so much. … Jazz, I've got an idea." I approached cautiously.

"Yeah?"

"Well, you know how we've been trying to figure out when to change you?"

"Yeah."

"Well, how about after the wedding? Then you have an excuse to see all of your family and friends together again. And you'll be 20 by then, I think. I mean you'll be 20 in…a couple months. And I'll have to design my dress. I mean no one will have anything good in my size! And plus I've got all these ideas and---" he cut me off.

"Alice! Hold on. Yes, after the wedding will be good. And I think you'll do a great job with the dress. Now, will you calm down? I'm getting a pretty good read on your emotions. And I'm close to bouncing up and down. Scary. You'll have all sorts of time to think of that later." Jasper reassured. I giggled and then took a deep breath to control my emotions better. I must be really excited if Jazz was picking it up so strongly.

"Okay, okay. I'll calm down…maybe." I told him, giggling again.

He rolled his eyes and kissed me. I sighed and leaned against Jasper's chest. He sat back on his hands and I relaxed. I was completely content when I got a vision. Aro, Jane, and Felix of the Volturi. They were coming. They'd found out about Jasper. From who knows where? They'd be there by the time we got home. Oh gosh. I was so relieved we'd just set a date for Jasper's change. I hoped Aro would be merciful. I stiffened and Jazz glanced down at me. Before he could blink, I was up and grabbing his hand. I swung him up into my arms and started running.

"Alice, what's wrong?" Jasper questioned.

"We've got to go home. Now. The Volturi found out. I hope Aro's feeling lenient today." I answered. Jasper nodded. He knew how serious this was. As we neared my house, I smelled three vampires. They were here.

Oh! Another cliffie! I'm sorry bout that! Hope you enjoyed and please review! I'll try to update soon, but once I run outta chapters already written, it might slow. I'm working on it though.
