Finding Love Again
Chapter 19
A/N: I do not own anything Stephanie Meyers, 'cause if I did some of those characters would never leave my room... XD
Once Emmett was put directly through to his uncle Aro Volturi, he knew shit was gonna hit the fan. " Ahh, Emmett my nephew, how are you? What brings you to be calling me, I haven't spoken with you or Isabella in quite sometime."
" Well, uncle, seems that we have a traitor, no make that traitors in the Volturi family. Uncle Caius's daughter, whom I never knew he had one...Tanya is her name, she caused a whole helluva lotta trouble for Bella and her non-existant marriage to Edward Cullen.", Emmett spat out. He was beyond furious.
" Caius has a...daughter? No disrespect Emmett, but my brother having children other than my late brother Marcus, that's impossible. Caius has never been married, I don't even recall the last time he...was with a woman. For the past twenty or so years I honestly thought, no pretty sure knew Caius batted for the 'same team'.", Aro was seriously confused now in regards to how it was even possible Caius would have a child he never knew about. Aro phoned his brother Caius directly using his cell, and put Emmett on speaker phone.
" Aro, what do I owe this pleasure of your call?", Caius answered his phone.
Aro lightly laughed, " Caius, we have our dear nephew Emmett on the line also, seems that you have a daughter I am unaware of, and that she's behind the destruction of Isabella and Edward Cullen's marriage. I have to admit this all seems rather bizzare brother. Do care to elaborate."
" Yeah it does! Uncle Caius, I think you have some 'splaining' to do. Did you know that your 'daughter', the skanky whore, was married to Edward before his marriage to my sister? Some big ole scam. Tanya told me everything, and well I think now would be better than any other to evoke my rights and on behalf of my sister Bella to have you uncle Caius Volturi removed from Volturi Enterprises payroll...permanently. Oh, and we've already contacted our lawyer and the authorities, so don't bother running dear uncle.", Emmett warned Caius.
Caius laughed at Emmett's accusation. " Emmett, do you seriously think that I am that stupid? Stupid enough, that I didn't cover my 'ass', knowing eventually my daughter Tanya Denali Cullen would be staking her claim to the Volturi fortune? I have been placing her share of inheritance, paid from the Volturi fortune, into an account for almost twenty-eight years. Oh, and Aro, yes...I am very much homosexual, Tanya's mother meant absolutely nothing to me and had died fifteen years ago. Yes, I will walk away from all of this...just wait, you'll all see.", Caius laughed once again and hung up.
" Uncle Aro, I'm not sure whom we can trust in our company any longer. Can we trust that you will have the whole Caius situation taken care of, along with aiding our lawyer Jenks with all financial records that have occured say...over the past...forty years. You know since, our mother passed.", Emmett cautiously asked Aro. He couldn't actually remember the date any more, but figuring his eldest niece was almost fifteen now he estimated.
Aro tried hard to mask the anger in his voice, not at Emmett, but through and through anger towards his only living brother he has left. " Please Emmett, I will make sure things are dealt with fairly. Caius will no longer be part of our company. I will have all of his assests frozen and information turned over to the proper authorities and your lawyer. You Emmett, and dear Isabella have not a thing to fret about."
Emmett thanked Aro and hung up. Now, to tell his sister this fucked up story. Jasper saw that Emmett was finished with his phone call and went to talk to him. " Hey bud, everythin' alright?"
" Fuck, no...but, I'm sure my uncle Aro will take care of things. Now, for me to tell Bella. Shits gonna hit the fan, and with her havin' all those prego hormones...I think...I'd be scared bro.", Emmett patted Jasper's shoulder.
Jasper shook his head, " Maybe, I shouldn't come over later? That bad?"
" If you don't come by...I'll kill ya myself.", Emmett chuckled.
" Okay, I've got some errands to run this afternoon, wanna gimme a lift to my place so I can grab my truck? I just checked on Jake, and all looks good. I'm surprised he hasn't woken up yet. I'm on call tonight, so if anything happens I'll be paged. Can I ask ya somethin'?", Jasper asked Emmett.
" Dude you just did. Okay what's up?", laughed Emmett.
Jasper hesitated for a moment, " What's Bella's favorite color and flowers?" He wanted to plan something special for Fourth of July weekend celebrations. He didn't want to say just what, but Emmett was far from being stupid. Em knew Jasper was gonna 'pop the question' and soon.
" Blues and greens, and daisies. Why?", asked a smiking Emmett.
" Never fuckin' mind. I just wanna do somethin' special for my lady.", Jasper smiled. He was gonna haul ass into Port Angeles to shop around for something nice for his Bella.
" Man, chill out. Well, you ready to blow this popsicle stand?", Emmett asked heading out to the parking lot.
Jasper shouted he'd be right out, he just had to lock his office. On his was out, he bumped into Carlisle. Told him he didn't have time to chat but would the next day he was in. Jasper met up at Emmett's H3 and hopped in. Once they arrived at Whitlock Ranch, Jasper hopped out and thanked Em for the ride. He then got into his own pick-up and drove off towards P.A.
An hour or so later, he grabbed a quick burger from his favorite burger joint in town, then proceded to look for things on his 'to buy' list. First, he came across a nice looking jewelry shop and went inside looking around for his items. That's when he saw it. " Excuse m'am, I'd like a closer look at that one there.", Jasper pointed to his first item.
The sales associate Renata said sure, and that she just needed to grab the keys to unlock the case. " Here you go sir. It sure is beautiful, and I'm sure the lucky lady will adore it.", Renata handed him the platinum band encased with a two carat princess cut diamond with two half carat sapphires on either side.
" Lucky? I'm the lucky one. Yes, this is perfect darlin'. When can it be ready? She's a size six.", Jasper drawled. He had a few more stops to make and with any luck the jeweler would have it ready before he left.
Renata smiled, " The ring is a size six. This is your lucky day indeed, Mr...?"
" Whitlock, but Jasper's just fine. I'm also looking for a three special rings for three special lil ladies. I'll phone my soon to be sister-in-law and find out their sizes. Excuse one moment.", Jasper dialed Rose's number.
" Hello Jasper. What's up hon?", Rose answered.
" Rose, I'm lookin' at some pretty rings for the girls, but I have no idea what sizes they may be? Anyway you can find out without them knowing?", Jasper wanted to do this really sneaky. She heard Rose squeal as she told him to hang on a moment.
" Jas, sizes four, five and six. Are you buyin' any other special rings today too? Hmmm?", Rose was nosey.
Jasper laughed, " Maaaybbee. Thanks Rose, I gotta go now, see ya later." After he hung up, he approached Renata again. " M'am, the lil ladies ring sizes are four, five and six. I would love it, if ya can find them all same style. Somethin' like these o'er 'ere.", Jasper pointed to a couple pretty rings. Renata said she would check if she had the three sizes in two of the styles he was looking at.
" I'm sorry, we have size four and six in the one style, and four and five in the other. Can I make a small suggestion?", Renata asked. When he nodded, she recommended he go with the ring in sizes four and five, and something slightly different for the size six ring. " Here, about this one, is really pretty and ever so slightly different from the other two.", she showed him the ring.
" M'am you have sale. Now, how long before I can take them home?", Jasper smiled.
" If you can give me an hour or so, I'll have them all gift boxed and insured. All I need now is a form of payment. We take VISA, Mastercard, AMEX, and of course cash.", Renata smiled. Normally she would have flirted with such a fine lookin' cowboy as Jasper, but knowing he was there shopping for a few special rings, she politely asked for payment. Jasper went into his wallet and pulled out his platinum VISA card and handed it to Renata. She smiled when she noticed the card read, Dr. Jasper Whitlock. The Whitlock name was quite well known in those necks of the woods. She rang his purchases through, thanked him for his purchase, and told him everything would be ready to pick up in an hour. " Is there anything you would want engraved into these rings?"
Jasper thought for a moment the replied, " Whitlock's 'lil Angel on the three rings, and Forever Whitlock's Darlin' on the other."
" Aww, that is very sweet Mr. Whitlock. These women must mean a lot to you.", Renata was melting.
Jasper left the jewelry shop, and walked down a few stores. He walked into a florist shop, walked over to the sales clerk and asked for eleven white daisies and one white rose. He had the lady wrap them up all fancy with blue and green ribbons, paid for them and continued on his walk. Finally, he stopped at a lingerie boutique. This nice little red night dress caught his eye. He went in asked for it in a size medium, paid and walked back to the jewelry shop. Grabbed the bag containing his special purchases, hopped in his truck, and back to Forks he headed. Smiling the whole way back. He was planning the annual Independance Day BBQ at the ranch this year. All of their close family and friends would be there too. If only he could plan this for an even larger event, just to kill two birds with one stone, but he wasnt' too sure if he was being over-confident then. Once home, Jasper phoned Bella.
" Hello cowboy. I've missed ya, when are ya comin' home?", Bella answered.
" Darlin', just ran a few errands this afternoon and got home. I'm gonna shower, and I'll be over in time for supper. I love ya Bella.", he hung up and went for a quick shower. Smiling the whole time he was sudsing his glorious body up. He was hard and needed to take care of that ASAP. After he rubbed one out in the shower, he toweled off, dressed and headed to Bella's. Now it was only a matter of time before the proposal. No way he was tellin' anyone, he wanted it to be a surprise for all. Maybe, just maybe he'd ask his brother Peter and sister-in-law Char to help out with preparations. He dialed Peter's number.
" Hey fucker! Long time no speak.", Peter answered the phone.
" Hey asshole! I need a hand with something...big.", Jasper said.
