JASPER

I throw Bella's nightstand at Peter, crashing it into his chest. He took the hint about me not being happy and turned to leave, shutting the door so Bella and I could get ready.

"So much for a peaceful day." Bella stated, going to her closet and pulling out a pair of jean shorts and a tank top.

I grabbed my own jeans and headed out so that Bella could finish getting ready. I walk down with my pants undone and unzipped without my shirt on and barefoot. I don't give a fuck who or what the trouble was, I was gonna kick it in the ass. I walked outside where Peter and Charlotte were standing and came face to face with someone I didn't really wanna see at the moment.

"Hello, Major Whitlock. How are you?"

I quickly buttoned my jeans and walked down to meet the person face to face. "I'm fine, Aro. How are you?"

I didn't shake his hand, but I didn't need to. He knew my reputation and of my time with Carlisle. I was perhaps the only vampire that actually held his trust besides Marcus, Caius, and Carlisle himself.

"Doing well; however, I have heard that you have a pet. You know the law, Major."

I nodded, not really knowing what to do. I didn't want him to get Bella and knew I would die protecting her and then they would kill her anyways. I stayed silent looking our "king" in the eye.

"What do you have to say, Major. You know the law better than anyone in our world. You barely escape the first time and now you are harboring a human without turning or killing her."

I take an unneeded breath as I try to voice my explanation and quickly trying to come up with something. "Aro, I assure you that I will make the right of this situation. She is my mate and has known about us for a while now. She didn't tell Peter or Charlotte that she knew what they were until I got here. I knew here before and sadly wasn't able to carry out the punishment when I wanted. However, Alice was the one to stop me and now I'm actually grateful. I didn't know at the time what she would become to me. She wants to change and is willing, but would like it to be on her terms. For her sake, please let her say goodbye how she feels is needed before carrying out her death. She wants me to do it, my venom in her veins."

I looked him in the eye and hoped he would buy it and let us stay on the course that Bella needed, for her if not for anyone else. I heard the door swing open and watched as Bella walked down and gave Aro and hug. I looked at Peter and the dumb fuck was just as confused as I was. "Aro, so nice to see you again."

Nice, it was nice to see him again...what. "Beautiful Bella. I see you found yourself some company down here. You didn't tell me where it was you were headed when you and your dog came to me for some answers. I do have a question though, How did the Major and his ex-wife know you before you came to me. He told me that she's the one that convinced him not to kill you." Bella looked back and me with wide eyes. "What did you tell him, Jasper?"

"I told him that I knew you before now. How in the fuck do you know Aro, Bella?" I wasn't angry, more like concerned for her.

"I told you that I researched the south before moving here, Jasper. I overheard a conversation between you and Emmett and wanted to know what I was getting into. Jacob and I figured out who to get in touch with and he flew with me to Volterra to meet with Aro. I contacted Carlisle on how; I asked him not to say anything because I didn't want Edward to know and that was why I didn't ask Carlisle himself since Edward can read him like a book...mind or no mind."

It made sense. She didn't want Edward to know and Charlie could find them easily, or rather Jacob knew how to hack into the computers at the station in Forks. "How did you now know Bella knew us, Aro? If you don't mind me asking?"

I looked back at the Voltturi leader. He smiled and hugged Bella once more before releasing her. I took her into my arms still looking at the vampire. "The same way that Edward can't get a read on her I suppose. Believe me I tried and so did Jane. One pissed off female, I assure you. Now Bella, you should've told us that you knew vampires."

Bella smiled and took a breath. "I didn't know what the consequences would be if I told you. Edward was how I found out, but I assure you it wasn't his idea. I was his singer and by some miracle he didn't kill me. He saved me to save the Cullens. I almost died at school and my blood what have made his inner vampire come out in front of everyone. He didn't account for me actually putting two and two together and figuring them out.

I'm not sure if Alice did or not. They again saved me from a vampire named James as Edward felt guilty that I was put into danger. I fell for him, hard and fast. He was the first guy that I loved and I still do, but only as a brother. I didn't really get to know Jasper due to his lack of control at the time so please don't punish him. I put myself with them and did it willingly. They never told me your secret and I have wanted to change since than. I have always felt that it was my destiny to be with the supernatural and now I know why. I get to be with Jasper with I change. I assure it I will be and Jasper will be the one to do it."

I listened as Bella explained why she misinformed Aro and the brothers in Italy. "Why are you here?" We all looked at Peter as he stood next to Bella.

Aro smiled and gazed at Bella. "I was checking up on Bella. I have become fond of her and was making sure no one in the area harmed her. I had someone looking after her and for a few weeks now I haven't had any reports. I know why now."

Well, that explained the rogue vamp we took care of while the mutts were here. "That was very thoughtful of you Aro. I will let you know when I will be changed so that you know that we have followed through with it. I'm just not that ready and I want our home finished before it happens. Everything is almost ready though, I assure you within the year I will be newborn with my mates venom in me for eternity." Bella was quick and gave him her own deadline.

If he let it go, I would be surprised. This is Bella though and apparently, my mate has everything supernatural wrapped around her tiny little fingers. "Alright, Bella. You have till the end of the year and not more. I trust that you will be safe with the Major and his Captain. I need to be off as I assured Caius I wouldn't be too long."

With that we all watched as Aro Volturri walked into the woods and took off. We than all turned to look at Bella. I could feel the astonishment coming from my brother and sister as we waited for Bella to say something. She was so adorable, looking back at us.

She shrugged her shoulders, "What? Nothing else happened."

She than took my hand and walked us back into the house. We sat down on the sofa in the parlor area. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about him, Jasper. I honestly didn't think he'd just show up."

I could feel the nervousness coming from her and kissed her temple. "Don't worry about it, love. It's over and he gave you time. We will have to change you by Christmas though. He won't give you another chance especially now that he knows I knew you before. He's probably gonna make a stop at Carlisle's."

She sighed and nodded. She wanted and needed a way to say goodbye to the pack. Having Jacob's blessing helped her, I know. They were the only family she had left, but Jacob was second in command. From what she told me it was only because he was sixteen and didn't want the responsibility of being alpha. I looked out the window as a scent I haven't come across in almost a century hit me.

"She don't know you're here, I have you masked. Take Bella upstairs, Major." I heard Charlotte. I took Bella upstairs as a figure came out of the woods. We got upstairs and I watched out the window as the figure walked up to Peter and Charlotte. "Have you heard from him yet, Peter?"

"No ma'am. The Major hasn't been in touch for a while now. The girl is safe and sound. My gift is telling me that the Major wont be here for a long time, so ya don't need to worry about losing him. He'll come around now that the pixie bitch don't have a hold on him no more."

"Good, see to it that he or the girl doesn't figure everything out. She has the seer still looking into her, I can assure you of that. She might lead the Major here and than you will pay and so will your mate."

I listened as they went over more briefing and Bella came to stand next to me. I looked down at her as she took my hand. "Maria, love." I answered her silent question and she wasn't going to like the fact that the Hispanic bitch on our property would do everything in her power to have me back...even if that meant killing the only blood descendant she had left.

Here you go, hope you liked it.-brianna
