So go – read – review!
Jasper's POV
Alice took the long way to the Cullen's house, and she laughed the entire way. With the wind blowing her short hair in more directions than it was already in, she looked even more beautiful than she normally did...
We pulled up to the Cullen's massive house and Alice looked disappointed to have to leave the car, but when I hopped out she refused to let me walk up the stairs to the front door in case something happened. It did feel good to know she still loved me more than my new car.
My car...that's going to take some getting used to...
Alice held onto my arm softly but firmly as we climbed to stairs to the door, and pressed the doorbell. We heard the distinctive heavy run of Emmett and then the door flung open and Emmett yelled "well you took your own sweet time! What were you doing, catching up on some 'private moments'?"
I glared at him, silently daring him to say anymore than that. I looked over at Alice who was now blushing furiously. Thankfully we were saved when Esme came to the door to greet us.
"Emmett! Leave them alone. Now go help Edward in the garage, he's trying to show Rosalie something on her car, but she won't let him even open the hood with Bella around." We all got the private joke. Bella was so clumsy that she could break something just by being in the same room as it.
"Ok Esme." Emmett slunk away towards the garage. We all saw Esme as a mother-figure, and what she said went. No one ever wanted to let her down. Emmett had failed a test once and he was devastated, not because he'd failed, but because Esme would be disappointed in him. As it turns out, Esme wasn't disappointed, but she did organise some tutoring for Emmett in Calculus. She was the mother we never had.
"What do you think of your present Jasper?"
"It's absolutely amazing and far too much for me to accept! I tried protesting to Edward, but he passed on a threat from Carlisle."
"Jasper, if you ever try to give that amazing piece of machinery back, I will make sure you die, and I will raise you from the dead, just to kill you again!" Alice exclaimed from beside me, looking completely serious about her threat.
"Well, Jasper. I think Alice has spoken. Besides, there is no way that I would let you give it back either. You're like a son to me, and I will my children presents when I want to. Speaking of which, Alice dear, I could use your help on some designs for a dress I'm going to have made for Bella for Prom. I'd ask Bella for help, but we both know she'd tell me I didn't have to make it, and end up being no help at all because she was being too damned stubborn and selfless."
Alice looked like Christmas had come two months early.
"Esme, when have I ever said no to helping you with designs?"
Esme let out a light laugh and said "well, just let me put the roast in the oven, and I'll meet you in my study."
Alice turned toward me.
"You'll be ok to hang out with the guys for a while won't you?" she asked with a hint of hope in her voice that may have hurt if I hadn't known how much she loved working on Esme's designs with her. It made her day. In the month and a bit we had been together, she had come a long way. She's come nearly completely out of her shell, and is starting to let me see who she thinks the real Alice is. She is hyperactive, interested in shopping, fashion, interior design. Alice is naturally creative, and fun. She is in every sense of the word, my little pixie.
"Of course I will. Go have fun. Don't make Bella wear something to torturous." I said with a smile.
Alice gave me a playful glare before skipping off to Esme's study to have a look at the designs.

Alice's POV
2 hours later Esme and I emerged from the study, feeling very pleased with ourselves. We'd managed to design a dress that was Bella in every possible way. It was a dark blue, backless full length dress with a small train at the back. At the top of the back, the thick straps crisscrossed to make an X shape. At the front was a small plunge between the breasts, with a white floral design along the edge of the breasts. There was a slit up the side to about 12 inches below her hip. It was classy, and not too intricate. Despite prom still being 5 months away, we needed those 5 months to convince Bella to just wear the damned dress, and let us do her hair and makeup. If she didn't relent before the prom, then there was always the surprise attack; kidnapping her the morning or the prom, tying her down, and getting her ready the hard way. Esme and I would make sure she knew the second option and that there was no way to get out of going to this formal.
I went off to find everyone else. I walked into the rumpus room. You could hear the commotion from upstairs, so it wasn't hard to figure out where they were. I couldn't help but laugh at scene before me. Emmett had Bella pinned to the ground while Rosalie was painting her toenails. Jasper was holding her legs still by sitting with his legs over her shins, while Edward was trying to pull Emmett off. He looked very distressed at the thought of Bella being pinned down.
Jasper looked up when he heard me laugh. My heart fluttered at his grin.
"Wanna join in? It's give Bella a makeover day"
"Would I ever turn down giving someone a makeover, especially Bella?" I said, walking over to relieve Jasper of his post at Bella's legs. Jasper crouched behind me, placing soft kisses along the skin of my shoulders and neck, wherever he could find an exposed area. I sighed contentedly, and leaned back into Jasper. Bella took this opportunity to get her legs free from underneath me, and wriggle out from under Emmett.
"THANKS A HEAP JASPER!" Rosalie yelled before storming out of the room. Jasper just chuckled lowly and pulled me closer to him.
"Um, is she really angry?" I asked Jasper, he just shrugged and I turned to Emmett, who was getting up off the floor.
"Oh yeah, she's pretty pissed. I'll go calm her down. We'll be back."
"Rosalie gets very touchy when she doesn't get what she wants" Edward added, before going over to hold Bella and make sure she wasn't too traumatised by the entire experience.
Rosalie and Emmett came back half an hour later, looking suspiciously happy, no not just happy, they looked giddy, and Rosalie's hair looked like she'd just redone it.
Esme walked into the room at that point to announce that dinner was ready, and everyone had to make their way to the dining room now. We all rushed past Esme, and ran, half racing each other, to the dining room. Jasper and I arrived last because I wouldn't let him run up the stairs, or run fast. I wasn't about to have him tripping over and hurting himself just a week before he got that damned cast off...
x----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------x
The week passed uneventfully. I went to school, and Jasper stayed home. Every afternoon I'd rush home, worried that something had happened. Of course nothing did ever happen, and today I was driving him to the hospital to get his cast taken off. He would be allowed to put his weight on it, and as well as obviously being happy for him that he was healing, I was ecstatic, because it meant that now there were no restrictions when it came to sex. We'd decided we'd take the step, the only question now was where and when.
After the cast was off, it was replaced by a wrist brace that he had to wear every night for the next few months. Two young female nurses from the hospital seemed to recognise him, and starting giggling as they saw him walk out of Doctor Cullen's office. I was waiting outside because Jasper had asked to speak to Carlisle about something alone, giving me a very apologetic, and yet sly look.
I glanced at the two nurses name badges; Mari and Liz...they seemed familiar, maybe they were treating Jasper one day while he was in here. I told myself any insecurity I felt was just that, insecurity, and moved past it. This was something I would not have been able to do a month ago, and I was glad that I could now.
I stood up, and took Jasper's hand and we walked out of the hospital together.
