U is for undeniable

Renesmee,

""Even though I had never met this strange pixie girl before, I held out my hand. She was excited and nervous, but mainly contented." That, he told me after. It's funny. I always knew we were meant to be together, of course, but he had no way of knowing. Jazz was less enthusiastic. He was careful not to reveal his gift to me. I made him squirm a little. This was good, though. He eventually opened up to me, told me all about him and his life so far, and together we met the Cullen family.

He didn't tell them everything at first, either - it was our little secret. I liked that, and giggled as I thought of it. I think Esme guessed. I know they have a special bond, because they spent so much time alone at first. When we arrived at their doorstep, Carlisle opened the door. Jazz had tightened his grip around my waist and pulled me closer. I smiled and held out my hand to the coven leader. Exchanging a raised eyebrow at each other, Esme took my hand. I gave Jasper a little nudge and he, albeit uncertainly, held out his hand for Carlisle. He gently shook it. He'd told me how nervous he'd felt then, how badly he wanted to fit into their coven, for my sake. Into their family, he'd corrected himself. That's another thing. Jasper doesn't call Esme, Carlisle, Rose, Emmett and Edward his coven anymore. We're a family. They're his - sorry, our - family and we love them very much. I love Jazz so much too. But enough of this lovey dovey stuff. I'm telling a story.

Jasper wasn't allowed to go to school because he wasn't strong enough yet. I went. Jasper smiled at me and told me he'd be fine with Esme, and Esme smiled too, touching my arm, and looking softly at me with her warm, open eyes. I tried to smile back.

"He will, sweetie. I have a lot planned to keep him busy." She winks. Jasper tells me they spent the day redecorating an abandoned house and that it was fun. I smile and say I'm glad.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too, darlin." He flashed a smile at me and I rolled my eyes.

"That doesn't work on me." I flutter my eyes, Bambi style. He sighed, but he was smiling.

"That works on me," he says. "What do you want, Ali?"

"You," I say, simply. "I just miss you, Jasper, while I'm at school. You know?" He nods.

"I miss you too, you know. But you'll be okay. I'll be okay. Esme looks after me. And I'll be in school soon." I kissed him. I know we'd be fine.

Home really is where the heart is, believe me. I love going home after a long day out at school, or shopping with Esme and Rose, and all I want to do is put my feet up! It's not easy wearing heels all day, even if I don't trip or get tired physically. I'm a creature of habit, you see, and Jasper is, too. I won't deny a few creature comforts. I won't deny the things I love, either. Those include: my love for my family, my love for my friends, my sheer luck in being able to spend eternity with them and shopping.

I mean, shopping's a hobby, isn't it? Well. If it isn't, it should be! I love it when Jasper comes with me, though he's not all that helpful. He never gives me an honest opinion. Everything I try on, he looks at me and says earnestly: "You look beautiful, my love."

I'm getting off track, I know, I know! Sorry. Right.

I can't imagine my life without all of this. Well, without being a vampire I guess I'd be under a gravestone by now. But I don't care what Rosie says. If we had sad endings, we'd be under them. I have my happy ending right here with Jasper and the rest of my family.

One of my pet hates is when people complain about their family. In high school, that's all I seem to hear. "Mom wouldn't let me stay out after dark" or "Dad says I'm not allowed to drink. Like I'm not!"

Really? I think. They don't know how lucky they are. They need a serious reality check. But they're only teenagers. They'll realize whe gran their family is gone. And I am so, incredibly lucky that I know my family will never have to leave me, ever.

You're part of the family too, sweetheart. You are so loved. I hope you find in Jacob, what I find in Jasper. I hope one day you're very happy, and adjusted. In love. You will be.

We love you so much. One day your own family will, too. You might have babies of your own. Little kids. I'd love that. But you're all we needed to complete our family.

You've made us so happy, Renesmee. Your Mommy loves you and your Daddy loves you, and Uncle Emmett loves you, and Auntie Rosie loves you, and Grampa and Nana, and Nona and Papa. And Jake and the rest of his pack of mut-sorry, Nessie. But again, I'm off track. If I'm not here, for whatever reason, when you're grown, I hope you know that I wish you the best, and that I love you so very much, even from beyond the grave. Well. Ashes.

Your eternally loving Aunt

Alice
