Penblwdd Hapus y Ti! Thats happy birthday in welsh :P This story is 1 year old today. i cant believe i have been writing this for a year and im still not finished. Anyway, i was going to update sooner, but thought it would be nice to put this chapter up today. Anyway, ill let you read the chapter. see you at the bottom :)

Jaspers POV

Bella had been asleep on my lap for a few hours now, and I still didn't know how the hell she was sleeping. I looked over at Peter a few times and gauged his emotions to see how he was doing. He still didn't feel anything. He had been numb for a while now. I was going to leave him be with himself for a while before he spoke to me.

"Why do they want Bella?" he asked, suddenly out of the silence.

"Because she can do things that no one else can. Aro likes to collect things, and people who are different. Bella is probably one of the most powerful vampires that are out there. I have no idea what she could do if she put her mind to it." I replied, as I smoothed back Bella's hair from her face.

"What can she do?" He asked me.

"Controls things. I know it doesn't sound impressive, but it is everything. She can control the weather, people, she could take away some vampires powers if she tired, I have no doubt about that. What she did to you in the house is the tip of the ice burg, I swear. One of the first times that I met her, she made it rain outside, and I mean really rain. I was about to go out for a hunt when it started throwing it down outside, so I decided not to. I ended up back in the house, annoying Bella, and she made me go back outside and she made me stand there for ages before she let me come back in. I had no control over what I did, I knew that she was doing something to me though. It was strange. I have never seen her as angry and upset as she was today though. She could have killed you if she had wanted to earlier." I said as I looked over at him.

"I'm sorry I pushed her Jasper. But I need charlotte back just as much as Bella does, and I needed her to understand that. Maybe I could have been more tactful about it mind you." Peter said smiling a little.

"You will get her back. I have no doubt about that. Just don't push her so hard. She is hurting just as much as you are." I told him.

He looked over at Bella who was still fast asleep in my lap. I felt the confusion rolling off him.

"Does she do this often?" he pointed at Bella.

"No. Never. I don't know why she is like this. The only thing that I can narrow it down to is that she is emotionally exhausted and her body needs to shut down. At least I'm hoping that's what it is." I said as I looked over at Peter again.

"May be . I certainly feel like I need to shut down for a while, but I can't." Peter said as I rested his head against the back of his seat.

"Try. If Bella can do it, you should be able to too." I said

"Jasper. She shouldn't be able to do it. I'm surprised you're not worrying a little about this." He said to me.

He didn't know that I was worrying about this. I turned my attention back to Bella, who had nestled closer to my chest again. I moved her from my lap and put her back on her own seat, too see if that would wake her up. It took a while, but as soon as she realised that I was no longer next to her, Bella shot up. She looked around the plane dazed and confused before looking at me.

"You ok Bella?" I asked her, as she slumped back in her seat and rubbed her eyes with the palm of her hand.

"Yeah I'm ok. Slightly confused though." She said as she blinked a few times.

"You and me both. What was all that about?" I asked her, talking about the fact that she had been asleep for the last few hours.

"I don't know. I was just so tired, and I closed my eyes and I fell asleep. How long have I been sleeping?" she asked me.

"About 3 hours I would say." I said as I looked at my watch.

"Wow. I must look attractive right now. I'm going to go to the bathroom to see how I look." She said as she stared to get up.

"Bella, you look beautiful. Don't worry." I told her as he walked past me.

She leaned in and gave me a kiss on the lips.

"Baby, you have to say that. You're sleeping with me. I'll be right back." She said as he walked away from me and went into the small toilet cubicle that they had on the plane.

I watched her walk to the back of the plane making sure she was ok. She seemed a lot calmer than before. Of course she was still anxious and worried about Charlotte, but she had calmed down.

"Is she ok?" Peter asked from beside me, as he noticed me watching her.

"She seems to be. The 3 hour sleep she has had seems to have done her some good. Maybe you should give it a go." I told him. I was being serious, but he thought I was joking. Peter settled back into his seat while I waited for Bella to come back to me.

Bella's POV

I left Jasper sitting in his seat on the plane to go to the toilet just to tidy myself up. As I walked down the aisle of the plane, I was still trying to figure out if I had been sleeping for the last 3 hours. I know it should be impossible for vampires to sleep, but apparently I go against the grain. I certainly felt a little better after I had slept, but I was still anxious to get to Italy.

When I got to the toilet I went into the small cubicle and locked the door behind me. I suddenly felt ill. I put my hands on the small basin that was in the toilet and took deep breaths. I looked in the mirror that was on the wall and I was shocked at what I saw looking back at me. If it were possible I looked human. My cheeks were slightly pink and flushed, my eyes had changed so they were slightly darker, but they made me look as if I was thirsty which was ok. But I couldn't get over how soft I looked. For the last 130 odd years I have been practically made of stone, so it was a shock to say the least. I continued to look at my reflection for what seemed like hours before the rush of illness came back again, or I had remember that I was feeling ill. The next think I knew, I was crouched down next to the toilet throwing up the content of my stomach. Of course blood came up, what else would. When I had finished I moved back and flushed the toilet before moving back to the mirror.

What was happening to me? First of all I had been sleeping for hours, then I look at myself and think that I'm looking more and more like a human and less and less like a vampire, and then I am physically sick! What is wrong with me? I had to go back to Jasper soon, otherwise he would be sending a search party out to get me, but I knew that as soon as I got back to him, he would know something was wrong. Hell, I didn't even know what was wrong with me. How was I suppose to deal with Jasper worrying about me even more that he already was? I would have to cross that bridge when I got to it. For now, I splashed my face with water and went back to Jasper.

As soon as I sat down in my seat Jasper knew something was wrong.

"What's the matter?" he asked as he looked at me.

I didn't say anything; I just sat there, thinking. I felt Jasper turn in the seat next to me, and he looked at me more carefully. I moved my face with his hand so that I was looking directly at him. He ran his fingers over my cheek. I could see the concern that was all over his face as my face filled up with blood and a blushed for the first time in 130 years. He pulled my face towards his and kissed me on the lips. And I knew he could taste the blood either on my lips or my breath. I knew he was worried because when he pulled away from me, his hands went straight to my head and he started to smooth my back.

"Bella, what is wrong with you?" he asked, as he studied my features again.

"I don't know." I answered him, as I felt tears roll down my face.

I was scared. The time that I needed to be at my strongest, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally, and there was something wrong with me. I hoped my power wasn't going to be effected by this. Shit! What if I couldn't do anything to get Charlotte back? This thought only made me cry more.

"Jasper, I need you to do something for me." I asked him, wiping my tears.

"What do you need me to do?" he asked me.

I could see how stressed he was because he could see that there was something wrong with me. I didn't need that. I needed him to relax and them get him to get me to relax.

I focused all my attention on the emotion that I needed Jasper to be feeling. He visibly relaxed again into his seat and then I made him calm me down, because I couldn't do it myself. Jasper moved and pulled me into his lap again and wrapped his arms around me. I could feel myself calming down instantly, and knew that my power was still working, but I knew I would need to try something a little more physical when we got off the plane. I glanced over to Peter who was looking at me questioningly, but I think he got that I wasn't going to answer anything he asked me, so he looked forward again.

"Thank you. Do you feel better?" Jasper asked me as be continued to stroke my hair.

"Yeah, I feel better now. I need to relax and think about things, but I really want to sleep again." I said as I cwtched back into Jaspers chest.

"Sleep then. I don't understand why you want to sleep, but I'm not going to stop you if you do." He said as he held me closer to him.

It didn't take me long before I was comfortable enough to drift off to sleep again. I knew I would have to find out what was wrong with me soon, but first I needed to get Charlotte back before I did anything else.

Jasper's POV

The rest of the flight was uneventful. Bella slept all the way, Peter and I started talking about the times we had spent together all those years ago when we were with Maria, which then got him talking about Charlotte. He wasn't as hysterical as he was back at the house, but I could tell that he was worried about her, and what the Volturi would do to her. I honestly believed they would do nothing. They did things to get what they wanted, but I would never think they would go so low as to physically hurt anyone.

Soon, we were coming into Pisa international airport, and we were not that far away from where we wanted to be. I gently shook Bella so that she would wake up and told her that we were getting ready to land. As soon as I told her that a number of different emotions went through her, confusion, anger, fear, worry, hope. It was to much for me to take in in one go, so I had to calm her down again and project one emotion onto her. Of course she objected to this, but I would be no use to her if I couldn't concentrate on anything but the strong emotions that she was putting then there was Peter, I couldn't handle the both of them together, but now that we were here, Peter seemed to have a different out look on what we had to do. His fear for his wife's safety and turned into determination and courage to get her back. I wish Bella could handle her emotions like that, but I knew she couldn't. Peter was a soldier. He knew what he had to do and he got what he wanted and got out. The only time that he would let his emotions control him in this situation was if he saw anything happen to Charlotte, then I have no doubt in my mind that not even I could reel him back in from that.

Bella's emotions were completely different. What Bella was feeling was from a mothers point of view. When it came to Charlotte's safety Bella was not going to be able to think rationally and that could be dangerous, but I knew that Bella was strong and would not let herself go.

All that we could do now, was to get off the plane and find somewhere to go before heading into Volterra and get Charlotte back.

Did anyone notice a welsh word in there? it was the word that looked really weird. 'Cwtch' is basically a welsh word for cuddle or hug, but it is more affectionate that a cuddle or a hug. it is a very complicated :P right, i wont be able to update for a while now because i have so much work to do over christmas so i need to concentrate on that and i have christmas to prepare for so, i hope everyone has a great Christmas holiday and i will probably see you in the new year. Nadolig Llawen! (Merry Christmas)
