You guys are the greatest! Thank for reviewing. I've decided I'm not punishing everyone for the actions of one. So, here it is…JASPER'S POV!!
Edward and Bella came back soon after Alice and I were done talking; they were excited, and anxious to tell Carlisle they were staying. As soon as they got in the door, Alice pulled them into the kitchen. I wondered why; it wasn't like I couldn't overhear them anywhere in the house, so her action seemed a little unnecessary. Then, I felt an overwhelming hostile vibe, most likely from Edward. I felt it whenever anyone brought up that particular day, and I couldn't blame him. I heard Alice reprimand him, and I felt his regret. They seemed to be done talking, and then Bella flew out the door, with Edward and Alice following her. Bella plunked herself down on the couch, and immediately started talking.
"Jasper, you're only looking at the bad that came out of that day; the good that came out of it enormously outweighs the bad." In a way, she was right, but still. What I did was inexcusable. Bella glanced at Edward, trying to get him to say something. He looked up at me and started talking.
"In a way, your moment of weakness strengthened our relationship beyond words. I now know I could never leave Bella, no matter how hard I try, and if it seems possible, you've made our love even stronger. And, it was kind of my fault, seeing as I was the one that threw Bella into the glass bowl." Ouch. I just got a massive wave of vengeful feelings from Bella. I knew she was joking around, trying to lighten the mood, and was hoping I would say something to help her with it. After Edward had finished speaking, I decided to stay, so I went along with Bella, helping her with her plan.
"Bella's in a vengeful mood," I said carefully. I saw Edward's face change, and he actually felt worried about what Bella would do to him. I could see why; Bella was a newborn, right now, she was stronger than Emmett. Edward groaned, and said, "Bella, before you rip me into little pieces and hide them, please let me finish what I was saying to Jasper," Ha! He was worried! Interesting. I decided to take it further, hoping Bella would still be game. ""Not a good idea," I started. Bella seemed to still be with it. "Her mood is getting stronger the longer she waits." I just got an odd emotion from her. I think she's serious about getting revenge on Edward! Alice and Bella looked at each other; Alice probably had a vision of Bella's plans. I got a huge wave of excitement from Alice; Bella probably decided to do something Alice was excited about. Shopping? Maybe. I decided to turn against Bella, because she had the potential to kill Edward.
"Not a good idea," I said. Bella glared at me, and I grinned. "Her mood is getting stronger the longer she waits." Edward groaned, and had the stupidity to say, "I'll deal with it." 'Ha ha, your mistake, buddy,' I thought. I don't know if he was in my mind or not, but he made a face, so I think he might have been. He kept talking to me. "Jasper, Renesmee might not even be here if it weren't for you. We owe you an eternity of gratitude." Huh. If this is really what they all think, I don't think I have anything to worry about. I guess I'm staying. Then Bella said something to get us all laughing.
"I would agree, but you gave away my revenge plans-"she glared at Edward, "so I think I owe you…600 years of gratitude." I looked at Edward and Bella and asked, "What are you guys going to do?" Bella glanced at Edward and said, "We're going to stay here, for Renesmee." I nodded, and Alice asked me, "Have you decided what you're going to do?"
I sighed. I wasn't completely sure of my decision, and I wanted to think a little more before coming to a definite conclusion. "I think I need a little more time to decide." Edward nodded, and Bella got up. "We're going to go talk to Carlisle." she said. Alice got a weird look on her face, and said, "He's going to be happy you're staying." Edward rolled his eyes, and said, "When is he not?' We all laughed, and then they went upstairs.
After a few minutes of deliberating, I spoke. "I've decided," I had heard Edward do something similar with Carlisle, and I thought a mood-lightener would be good for everybody, especially me. All this negativity was getting on my nerves. Alice smiled tentatively, and then threw her arms around me when my smile broke through. "What made you decide?"
I exhaled loudly, and started explaining. "I figure as long as I hunt often enough, and I don't try to push myself too hard, I should be fine. And, I think I don't pose a danger to anyone here, seeing as everyone is at least half-vampire." After I finished, I felt a huge wave of relief radiate from Alice. A welcome emotion from her extreme tension. "Let's go tell Carlisle," she said excitedly. We went upstairs, and it sounded like Edward and Bella were almost finished, so we knocked on the door. The door opened, and they started walking out. Suddenly, I got an odd emotion from both Bella and Alice; was it conspiracy? Edward smiled at me; he didn't know I was staying, I was blocking my thoughts. We sat down, and Alice didn't seem to be paying attention-probably lost in a vision-so I told Carlisle what I was going to do.
"We've decided to stay here. I don't exactly know Alice's reasons for staying, but I am because Alice says she is, and because I've forgiven myself for the birthday party incident. I think I have a better sense of self-control now, and I don't believe I pose as much a threat as I did before." Alice appeared to come back to us, and Carlisle asked her, "Why are you staying, Alice?" I felt her turn playful, and I knew she would say something funny next. "You don't want me to stay?" It took all my strength not to laugh at her too-innocent expression. Carlisle didn't know she was kidding, and said, "No, no Alice, I was just curious!" Alice laughed, and Carlisle relaxed. "Just kidding. I'm staying because I don't know what it's like to be human. I don't know if my visions will come back to me being a human again, and I don't know how well I can handle it if they do. Plus, I have nothing to motivate me into wanting to go back; I'm perfectly fine with everything I have here." She walked around to give him a hug, as did I. I sent a few waves of clam toward him, and he looked at me gratefully. Then we heard Rosalie and Emmett come back-Edward was growling at them?! We all ran to the top of the stairs to see what was going on.
Edward was standing in front of Bella, snarling. Rosalie and Emmett were standing against the door, fearful. The amount of fury rolling off Edward was astounding. I sent all the calm I could to him, and I couldn't even make a noticeable difference. Edward started to speak.
"Rose," he started, and I finally got him calmed down a little bit. "Think about what you're doing. It almost killed Bella; think about what it will do to Emmett if it kills you too." Carlisle's eyebrows shot up; he was…hopeful?? Everyone else was totally against it; that is, everyone except Bella.
"Edward, I still don't know much about the incubus and the succubus and all that, but don't you think Rosalie might be okay if she doesn't do the same thing I did? I mean, as long as the placenta stays intact, she could be perfectly fine." She was right. Rosalie could be fine, now that everyone knew what do to keep her alive. Everyone glared at her, except for me and Carlisle; we were staring. She was right, and there was nothing any of us could say or do otherwise. "She does have a point." Carlisle sighed. We all turned to stare at him; I was still trying to figure out what he had to gain from this. "Rosalie, Emmett, please come to my study so we can talk about this some more please." What the hell! Hopefully Edward got in his head and knew what it was all about. We all sat down to wait for them, and then Edward asked, "So, what are you going to do?"
Please review, I don't know how this compares to the other chapters, if it's crap, it'll take me a while to get back into this. Sorry.
