JakePOV

Seth and Leah nearly beat down the door. "Hi, hi, hi!" Seth chittered. "Mom said, we should give you some alone time -" Leah started. "But we couldn't wait any longer." Seth finished. "Where are they?"
"They're in the kitchen with Nessie." I informed them. They ran into the kitchen, I heard gasps and laughter, and squeals.

NessPOV

EJ and little Alice were in Leah and Seth's arms before I could do anything. "Sorry," Leah apologized, "I've just been waiting so long to hold him."
"You've been waiting 2 days." I reminded her.
"'Lo Leah!" EJ greeted her, as she spun him in a circle. "Hello, EJ!"
Seth held little Alice far above his head, and whisked her through the air to his stomach, he continued playing with her for at least 15 minutes.

RosePOV

I sat with Bella and Alice in the living room, "Do you guys remember Mike Newton from school?" I asked. Alice rolled her eyes and Bella nodded skeptically and asked, "Why?"
"Okay, so, when we found the bimbo, the guy who was playing tongue hockey with her was Mike!"
"No way!" Bella gasped.
I nodded.
"For serious?" Alice asked.
I nodded again.
"Mike fuckin' Newton, bagged the bitch." I squealed.
"Wow!" Bella giggled.
"Crazy STD ridden fool," I proclaimed.
Alice giggled maniacally and clapped her small white hands together.
"What?" Nessie asked, walking in with Jake and Emmett.
"Oh the guy last night that was making out with the slut was Mike, a guy that we went to school with."
"Wow." Nessie giggled.

JasPOV

"Jazz?" Nessie called to me.
"In my room!" I responded.
She walked up the stairs.
"Hey, I need you to run to the supermarket for me."
"I haven't eaten in a couple of centuries, so I'm probably not the best grocery shopper around."
"Please?"
"Fine."
She handed me the list,
'Strawberries
Watermelon
Shampoo
Carrots
Peas'
Really descriptive, Renesmèe.
I walked down to Nessie, "What do you mean 'shampoo?'" I asked.
"You know, hair washing shampoo."
"What kind of hair washing shampoo?"
"The kind that I use, Jake knows."
"Then send him."
"Me?" Jake's head bobbed up from the sofa.
"He'll come with you." Alice decided.
"Where will 'he' go?" Jake whined.
"Shopping with Jasper."
"Yeah, not so much, with the partaking of shopping with Jasper."
"Please, baby?"
"No, Ness. I hate shopping."
"Please!"
"Fine."
"Yay! I love you."
"I know."
Jake and I walked out the door, "You're pushing the cart." Jake growled.
"Fine, but I'm driving!"
"Fine."
"Fine."
I slid behind the wheel of the Escalade.
"Do you have keys?" Jake asked in a degrading voice.
"Will you just give me the goddamned key?"
"Fine."

I grabbed a cart and wheeled it through the automatic doors. "Check that girl out!" Jake gasped.
"May I remind you that I am not Emmett."
"Dude, even some lame spice leech like you can appreciate this chick."
I looked up at whatever girl had caught Jake's attention this time, she was pretty enough, blonde hair, blue eyes.
"She's pretty, but she ain't my Alice."
Then the door opened, a gust of wind exploded through the door, blowing the girl's scent to me. "No, no, no, no, no." Her scent blew towards me, it was the most divine, intriguing blood that I had ever smelled. My throat ripped into flames, I attempted to stop breathing, but I couldn't... and I didn't want to. Not without my Alice there to stop me. "Dude, I hate shopping too, just quit griping and read the damn list." Jake groaned. "Not... that... simple." I whispered my eyes locked on the average human girl, it was her blood that was driving me insane, Jacob liked her body, but I lusted for her blood. I smelled the heat, the soothing power that it would have on the fire in my throat and chest. Venom pooled in my mouth, I tried to swallow, my hands tightened around the cart. If I drank from her, what would make me stop? Who else would I kill? I had to have the blood, her blood, I was past reasoning, I was past caring about the repercussions, I needed her. Now. "You finish this, I'll be back in a -" I stopped, and inhaled, "In a later."
"In a later? That doesn't even make sense!"
I walked off down aisle 4, the paper goods aisle. She was in the aisle next to me. I pushed between a stack of toilet paper and looked at her through the holes of the metal shelf. Her phone rang, she rummaged through her oversized taupe purse until she found the purple blackberry that she'd been searching for.
"Hello?" She answered, now, while she's distracted, I ran to the aisle that she was in, tapped her shoulder and soothed her, she turned around and gasped. I motioned for her to follow me, "Lacey, I'll call you later." She said into the phone, set the phone in her purse, grabbed the purse and followed me. Lust and confusion were pouring from her, I doused the confusion in more lust. We walked out of the front of the store together, "So did you need a jump or something?" She asked.
"Sure, my car is around back."
"Oh do you work here?"
"No."
"Just one of those special guys that they give private parking spaces to?"
"Sure."
We reached the back of the building. There was an alcove beside a delivery zone that I lead us into. She was getting nervous so I threw some more lust at her. I pushed us into the corner, leaned in as though I was going to kiss her, then I leaned to her neck, covered her mouth, and bit her jugular vein.
It was over all too soon, her empty body lay before me. "I'm sorry." I whispered and fled. Jake was in the checkout aisle. "What the Hell?" he asked as I strode up next to him. "She was my singer, her scent was stronger to me than anyone else's, ever. Bella was Edward's singer, that's why it was so hard for him to control himself around her." I explained. Jake nodded, "Right, so you killed her?"
"Yes." I opened my eyes and looked at Jake. He winced, "You're eyes are all like, grr."
"I know." I said and grabbed a pair of sunglasses off the display next to me.

I drove home with my sunglasses on, and braced myself to see Alice. She would know that I failed, that I failed her. I hated myself. Jake carried the bags of groceries. Alice greeted me at the door, "I missed you."
"I missed you too, baby." She wrapped her legs around my waist, and locked her arms around my neck. She kissed me, "Take these off, they make kissing you awkward." She said and discarded my sunglasses, she looked into my eyes, loosened her grip around my neck and slid down my body, until she was gripping my knees. "Why, Jazz? Why?"
"She was my singer."
"I'm so sorry."
"Why are you sorry? I'm the one that messed everything up."
"If I was there -"
"I'm glad you weren't there -"
"What?"
"If I would have hurt you, I couldn't live with myself."
"I'm still sorry."
"Don't be."
"I should have come." She sobbed tearlessly, her breath was ragged.
"It'll be okay, my Alice, we'll figure it out."
"But what if we don't."
"Honey, it's okay, we will figure this out."
"But -"
"Shh." I crouched down, pried my wife off of my legs, pulled her up into my arms, and carried her to our room, I laid her out on the bed, and wrapped myself around her, "I don't want to be sad." Alice whimpered into my chest, I held her tighter and tried to relax her. Her sobs intensified, "I can't breathe." She began gasping. "Alice, my love, you don't need to breathe,"
"But... I... want to!"
I rubbed her back and kissed her cheeks and nose as she gasped and writhed. "It's okay, baby, your all right."
"Ah, da, I, bu, bi, nya, eh -" Alice sputtered unintelligibly.
"Don't talk, calm down and then tell what you were trying to say."
"Calming... me... down... is... your job!" She sobbed.
"I'm trying, but it's not working."
"It... usually... works!"
"I know, honey, but you need to help yourself calm down this time."
She gasped, and nodded. Her breathing slowed, nearly back to normal.
"What were you trying to say?" I asked, cupping her cheek.
"I don't remember. But I love you."
"I love you too, Ali."
"You aren't mad at me, are you?"
"No, no, no! Why would I be mad at you?"
"Because I flipped out!"
"So? I love you no matter what. Even when you flip out."

I walked out of our room and started down the hall, where Edward and Emmett were talking. "Hello person eater." Emmett said, with a wave. I scowled, "Shut up."
"What? I had my fair share of singers."
"Yeah, and you killed them. What kind of consolation is that?"
"Well, you know how Bella was for me," Edward started.
"Now she's your wife. You restrained yourself."
"Okay, so I'm not helping."
"Not really!"
I pushed past them, Jake walked out the bathroom, right in front of me and shrunk back when he saw me.
"I won't hurt you." I sighed.
"No, I know man, I know. Sorry. Just werewolf reflexes. I'm sorry." He cringed.
I walked into the den, not bothering to turn on the light, I walked to the window and sat down on the floor, looking up at the nearly full moon. I wrapped my arms around my chest, leaned over onto my somewhat bent knees and sobbed. Dry, heaving sobs. A warm arm gently snaked around my shoulders, "Aren't you afraid of me too?" I asked.
"You slipped, I couldn't be afraid of you. This is the closest to scared of you that I've ever been, and I'm not even scared of you, I'm scared for you. I've never seen you like this." Renesmèe's melodic voice radiated through me, it was as warm as her touch. "I failed all of you. I have brought dishonor to ya'll,"
"Now you're mixing the south with Mulan, that's what freaks me out the most." She laughed softly, I chuckled briefly. "We'll move on, and get through this."
"But I killed that poor, innocent girl."
"You didn't mean it."
"Yeah, but she never did anything wrong. She didn't deserve what I did to her." I said, she pulled my upper body towards her, my head rested on her collarbone, "Jasper, you couldn't have known."
"But I could have restrained myself, like your dad did with Bella. Ha, if only I could be like my little brother, the vampire prodigy."
"Don't say that. He has his faults, you have yours, that's what makes you both unique and special."
"So, I'm special because I have no self restraint, and I kill people?"
"No, just try to do better in the future."
"I don't even deserve a future. I stole that girl's future away."
"Even if you don't deserve a future Alice does, so piece yourself together, if not for yourself, for her... And me."
"So that, what I can have the opportunity to kill someone else?"
"Please. You have gone so long without killing someone, you slipped."
"But what if I slip again,"
"If that ever happens, me and Alice will put you back together."
"Maybe Edward was right. Maybe vampires are wholly soulless."
"Think of Alice."
"Okay."
"If you were thinking of her, you wouldn't be so monotonous. Think of her."
"I am."
"Think of her dammit! See her, touch her, hold her, kiss her!"
I envisioned my wife as Nessie demanded.
"I know you feel that, the love you have for her, how can you love that strongly and be soulless at the same time?"
"I don't know, but obviously it is possible."
"Listen to yourself, Jasper! You are being outrageous."
"Am I?"
"Yes."
"I just feel so worthless. I try so hard, and then... this happens. I tried, but her scent..."
"It's going to work out. Go to Alice, I'm sure that she's worried by your absence."

AlicePOV

When Jasper returned I felt a bit happier. I had been laying exactly where he left me for a good portion of a half hour.
"Hi, baby." He said, walking to the bed, and slithering under the blankets with me, I wasn't cold, but the covers made me feel secure. Jasper wrapped his arms around my waist, I looked into his bright red eyes, "Hi. You okay?" I asked.
"I will be. How about you?"
"I'm still a little freaked out."
"Yeah, me too," he closed his eyes and kissed my hair, "Better?"
"Every little bit helps."
"So would this help?" He asked, and tilted my chin up and kissed me passionately.
Breathlessly, I gasped, "Yes."
"Good, I feel better too," he sighed, and kissed me again.
"Now... I'm... much better." I gasped.
"Agreed."
"I know something that would make us both feel better."
"Yeah, I think that that would probably help us both."

EPOV

I held my cellphone to my ear, 'pick up' I thought to the phone, "Hello you've reached Dr. Carlisle Cullen's phone, I am unable to take your call at this time, please leave me a message, and I will call you back as soon I am able." Carlisle's recorded voice said, then the phone beeped, "Carlisle, it's Edward, you really need to come home now." I hung up. A few minutes later, my phone rang. "Hello?"
"Edward, this is Carlisle, I just got your message, what is wrong?"
"Jasper... he killed a human."
"What?"
"He was at the grocery store, and encountered his singer. He couldn't control himself."
"Why didn't you stop him?"
"I wasn't with him."
"Was he alone?"
"No, Jacob was with him."
"Oh, he wouldn't have known."
"No. Listen, Carlisle, Jasper needs you, he needs your fatherliness, he is very shaken."
"How is Alice?"
"I would almost say that she's worse off than Jasper. Though he has been comforting her."
"We're on our way."
"Alright, I'll see you in the morning."
"Bye."
