The Twilight universe and everything in it belongs to Stephenie Meyer.

A look into Jasper's fears before finding the Cullen's… and Alice's simple answer.

-Home-

"You look thirsty, Jasper." I traced the purple bruises under his black eyes. We had just hunted a few days ago, but Jasper couldn't afford to get too thirsty while we were staying so close to humans.

We had decided to stay in a small motel until I had another vision of the Cullen's. We had traveled almost across the country, but I still couldn't see exactly where they were living.

He sighed as he tightened his arms around me. We had been curled up together on the small bed for most of the day. It seemed to be one of our favorite things to do lately.

"I don't want to move yet. I'm comfortable like this." He closed his eyes and snuggled closer to me.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Hunting animals was still distasteful for him, so it was never easy to get him to agree to go hunting.

"Jasper, you need to…" My voice trailed off abruptly as my eyes blurred.

My eyes refocused on a relaxed picture of Edward. He was at the piano that I had seen in their home before, only this time his fingers were moving gracefully across the keys. Esme joined him a few seconds later and stood behind him quietly.

Her face was full of pride and love. It made my still heart twist with longing. She smiled slowly and then looked out the wide window. The world outside was brilliantly white. Snow fell lazily from the sky and coated the trees that stood silently around the house.

The edges of the vision began to blur as Edward's fingers began to slow, signaling the end of the song he had been playing.

I felt him before I gained my bearings and was able to refocus on the reality around me.

I was cradled in Jasper's lap. He was holding my limp frame to him with one hand while the other stroked my face softly.

I smiled when I was finally able to focus on his eyes clearly. They were always so worried when I came out of a vision, regardless of what the vision had shown me.

"What did you see?" His voice was soft, but strained.

I took a deep breath and straightened slightly in his arms. "The Cullen's, but only Edward and Esme this time."

He nodded, waiting for more.

"Edward was playing piano, which I've never seen him do before. Esme came to stand behind him. You should have seen the look on her face Jasper… so loving, so proud of him."

"Did you see anything that might tell us where they are?"

I nodded. "It was snowing outside."

We both turned to look out the window where snow was falling softly.

"Well it looks like were getting close." He didn't meet my eyes as he spoke and a tiny part of him sounded as cold as the world outside our window.

"What's wrong?" The words left my lips as a whisper.

He shifted me onto the bed softly and rose to walk to the window. I waited, as he stood motionless. His shoulders tensed as my unease grew.

"Will you be happy when we have a home?" His words were soft.

"Of course, I don't want to search for the Cullen's forever… but you didn't answer my question." I stood silently and came to stand behind him. I could see his reflection in the glass of the window.

He closed his eyes as if in pain. "I worry that I'm not enough for you… that you'll only be truly happy when we have a family and a home with the Cullen's."

His words were pained, forced from his mouth. They ripped at my insides and made me instinctively wrap my arms around his waist and bury my face in his back.

"Jasper…" The words left my lips as a plea. "You are my home."

He whirled to face me and met my eyes.

"Don't you know that you mean everything to me? I did wait for you in that diner for what seemed like eternity."

He smiled at my words, but it didn't reach his eyes.

I sighed. "I see the Cullen's as a part of our future and I've seen what they'll bring to our life. But I have a home already Jasper."

His forehead was creased as I placed my hand over his still heart and met his eyes. "It's right here. You became my home when you walked into that diner in Philadelphia and took my hand. Finding the Cullen's won't change that."

He could only nod and place his hand over mine.

So I've been posting missing scenes for the past few one-shots and thought I'd go back to something brand new. I hope you enjoyed it!

Expect something with some humor for next week… it's been too long since I've given you all a good laugh!

Thanks as always for the reviews, favs and alerts :)
