Chapter 21

*thanks to juliet709 for beta'n!*

"What's our next move? I want her back. I want my family to be together again." Edward perched high up in a tree watched as his wife kissed another man.

"Patience, Eddie. I want my Jasper back, too. We need to figure out how we will approach." Alice had a touch of malice in her voice as she watched.

She only changed Edward and brought him along so she could get the Bella girl detracted so she could kill her and get Jasper back. Her visions had been going back and forth lately and she couldn't get a good read on them to determine her moves.

She needed to move soon. If she didn't, she would be stuck with the dimwitted man beside her. She sat back and threw one leg over the branch and let it hang.

"Come on, Alice. Think of something. I want her now!" Edward growled.

Alice rolled her eyes. "Why now? Why not before when you were human? Is it jealousy because someone else is into her? Please."

"Why do you want him back so bad? Could it be the jealousy hitting you too?"

Alice glared. "No. Jasper belongs to me. I saved him from the hell he was in. He is mine forever for that."

Edward rolled his eyes and sat back.

Bella put Charlie to sleep in her bassinet and turned on the monitor before walking out of the room. She went to go see Rosalie in the garage. As usual, Rosalie was under Emmett's Jeep.

"When will he learn you can't always fix that thing?" Bella asked, jumping up on the counter by the toolbox.

"When I tell him so." Rosalie smiled as she came from under the Jeep.

Bella smiled. "Got time to talk?"

"Sure. What's up?" Rosalie asked as she wiped her hands on an old rag. "Is it about Jasper?"

"Sort of. But there's something else, too."

Rosalie perched herself beside Bella and nodded for her to continue.

"Is it wrong to feel happy with someone you've barely known? I don't know if the connection I feel with Jasper is because it's meant to happen or if it's because he saved my life and his venom runs in my veins."

"If it wasn't meant to be, then it wouldn't have happened. Jasper has felt something towards you since he met you as a human. When he turned you, his venom made the bond stronger. You're his mate in more ways than one. You two belong together. If you didn't then the venom bond wouldn't be strong. It would just mean you're his as far as saving you."

Bella nodded her understanding. "Is that what happened with you and Emmett?"

Rosalie smiled. "I was destined to be with Emmett. I felt a pull towards where he lay dying. When I found him, I knew what to do. When he woke, it was as if he knew immediately who I was. Fate has a funny way of giving you your true love."

Bella smiled. After a few moments, her smile faltered. "Rose, I think something is going to happen. I can't shake the feeling that we are being watched until the moment none of us are on guard."

"What do you mean?"

"I have this feeling that someone is coming and going to cause a hell of a mess. Maybe a few days from now, if not sooner."

Rosalie furrowed her perfectly arched brows. "Let's go talk to Jasper. See if he's felt any other emotions than ours."

Rosalie jumped down and the two walked into the house. They found the boys in the middle of the living room floor, legs crossed, playing a video game, Charlie sitting in Jasper's lap.

"Jas, we need to talk." Rosalie said, bringing them out of their moment.

"What is it?" Jasper said as he stood up, Charlie in his arms.

"I have a feeling that we are being watched and something is going to happen soon. Have you felt any other emotions than ours?"

Jasper thought for a minute. "Unless one of us is feeling anxious, nervous and jealousy, then yes, I've been feeling something."

Bella let out a sigh. "I don't know what it could be. But the feelings I have, aren't good." She plopped herself down on the couch and buried her face in her hands.

Jasper sat down beside her and pulled her face up to his. "It's goin' to be alright darlin'." He gave her a sweet kiss and laid her head on his chest.

Outside, Alice screamed with rage and stood up on her branch. Edward sat up from his position laying down on a wide branch.

"What's got you mad?"

"That bitch you called a wife has figured out we're here. And she's gotten Jasper in on it. We must go."

Edward stood. "Watch yourself."

"Now!" Alice screamed as she jumped from the tree. Edward rolled his eyes and followed her.

His only reason now for staying with her was because she leads him to his Bella. They came to the edge of the woods to face the back of a large house. Inside he could see Bella. In her arms, she held a little girl, who looked to be a toddler now. He knew that wasn't possible. It had been only a month or so since the news of their death.

Alice growled at the sight of her Jasper holding the little brat and the bitch. She couldn't wait any longer. She walked towards the house, stopping half way and yelling out Jasper's name.

Bella jerked her head up. "They're here." Not a second later did everyone hear a high pitched voice yell Jasper's name.

Jasper knew the moment the name left the lips who it was. He turned to see Alice standing outside, a smile playing on her lips. A man standing beside her, eyes searching over Jasper's shoulder.

"No, it couldn't be. No!" Bella screamed as she placed Charlie in the playpen and stormed outside.
