Chapter 36

"Jake… I never told them…"

"Never told them wh- Oh. OH CRAP!"

"What is it?" Alice asked worried.

"After the party on the boat, we went back to the house and well, Stefan and Vladimir were there, and I told them I'd talk to everyone about us helping them to defeat the Volturi but I was so caught up in Jase, I totally forgot!" I quickly explained eyeing the house.

"If it was them, I should have seen it coming…" she started walking towards the house. I followed behind slowly.

"No, there's something else…"

She opened the door slowly and looked around. The house looked normal except nobody was home… It smelled like there had been some vampires here but there had been some here…

"Nobody's here…" Jake said stating the obvious.

Alice proceeded through the house looking for anything that would tell us where they went.

Check the dinning room table.

I walked to the dining room table and saw a note.

To whoever gets this first,

Sorry we had to leave, Stefan and Vladimir stopped by… Alice, you will know where to look for us… think about the diner…

Love,

Jasper

P.S. Renesmee, Jacob and Carlisle says don't worry about how fast Jase is growing, he'll check on him once we meet up.*

"Alice!" She was at my side within seconds. She snatched the note and read over it quickly.

"We have to go. I know exactly where they are…"

"Philly?" Jacob asked.

"Yes Jacob, before Jasper and I went to the Cullen's I had met him at this little diner that is surprisingly still standing… We weren't always with the Cullen's."

"Oh… Well… I didn't know that…"

We were in Alice's Porsche going like 100 mph. She had wasted no time getting out of there and on the road.

Momma, don't worry, they'll be okay…

"I know…"

A little while later, we pulled in slowly to a little diner. Alice parked the car and we all got out. The sky was a deep black with the threatening rain clouds. We all walked into the little diner, Alice was heading straight for the bar. "Hello, could you tell me if a rather large family was here?"

"Are you Miss Alice Cullen?" The brunette waitress asked with a Southern Accent. Odd considering we were up north…

"Yes I am."

"Here ya go darlin', a cute blonde boy left this for you." She said with a wink, handing her a letter.

"Thank you ma'am." Alice turned and walked out of the diner, we followed quickly.

"I was hungry…" Jacob pouted.

Alice ripped open the letter as we went to her car.

She read it aloud:

Dear Alice,

Sorry to have to make you follow us like this but it was Edward's idea (for the record). Just follow the road down and turn at the first drive out of the diner's view.

I love you, I'll see you soon.

Love,

Jasper

P.S. Jake, Ness, Edward and Bella say they love you and Jase.*

Alice cussed under her breath. "Did she-?"

"Yes Jacob, I just cussed." Alice spat at him. He flinched back.

"Here Jake, hold Jake, I'm going to drive." I said.

Alice reluctantly went to the passenger's side, I let Jake and Jase get in then got in. I was surprised that she was letting me drive her Porsche.

I turned on the road and started driving slowly. "Jake, tell me when you can't see the diner."

"'kay."

"Can't see it." He said about half a minute later. I slowed down and looked left and right for the first drive.

"There's one, it's a dirt road." Alice said.

I pulled down the road and drove slowly. "This is killing my car…" Alice pouted.

I drove the car down the bumpy dirt road. We came up on a little house. It looked like it had been abandoned. I stopped the car and we got out. Alice took a deep breath. "Jazz has been here." She said.

Jacob grabbed my hand as we approached the house. I reached the door and knocked. The door immediately flew open. Alice squealed and threw herself in Jaspers arms. This was a bit awkward… I walked around them and into the little house. My mom was the first to grab me and pull me into a tight hug. "Mom… Can't… Breath…"

"Oops… Sorry…We were just so worried you might go back to the house and they would be there… It's a good thing Edward had Jasper write the notes."

"Yea… So what happened with Stefan and Vladimir?"

My mom looked at my dad. "I'll tell them…" My mom sighed reluctantly. "Stefan and Vladimir knocked on the door like a normal person, but they weren't alone… they brought a few immortal children to use as a "persuasion". Jasper quickly took out the immortal children and we the rest of us backed them out of the house. They ran off saying they'd be back soon and that our family would pay. Just a little jolt is all."

"That doesn't seem that bad…" I replied.

"You didn't hear what they were thinking…" My dad replied with a shudder.

"What were they thinking?" Jake asked.
My dad closed his eyes and shook his head. "That bad?"

"Yes Jacob, that bad."

Told you everyone was okay… I smiled and turned to Jase who was looking around from Jake's arms. He saw me turning to him and held his arms out. I grabbed him and turned around.
"Carlisle, can you measure Jase now?"

"Ah yes, of course. Could you hold him out for me?" I held him out like he said. He pulled out a tape measure and started taking him measurements. Jase giggled at the touch of the cold tape measure.

"So how long are we going to have to stay here?" I asked.

"Better not be long." Rosalie snapped glaring at my dad. Emmett wrapped his arms around her reassuringly.

He rolled his eyes. "Not long, we can go back tonight."

"Thank God! I don't have to be in these clothes for more than a day." Alice exclaimed.

"Alice, knowing you, you probably have a trunk full of clothes in your car right now." My mom said rolling her eyes.

Alice thought for a second then lit up. "I do!" She skipped out of the house, towing Jasper with her.

We all laughed. Carlisle finished up with Jase. "Now, can I hold my grandson?"

"Of course." I handed him Jase who was smiling, taking in his surroundings.

Uncle Emmett started to complain about wanting to hold Jase but was cut off with a piercing scream.

I darted out of the house followed by everyone else. "EDWARD, EMMETT, GET JASPER NOW!" Alice yelled trying to hold him back. The brown headed waitress from the Dinner was staggering forward clutching her stomach where blood was seeping through her uniform. Her neck was also bleeding. Alice and I shot to her as she started to collapse. Luckily, Alice caught her. "CARLISLE!" Alice yelled frantically. I checked her neck to see why it was bleeding and I gasped.

"Alice, she's been bitten…" My mom was beside me in an instant. Carlisle had handed Jase to Jacob who was standing stunned on the porch.

"Bella, do you think you can try to suck the poison out?" Carlisle asked calmly.

"I- I don't think I can…"

"I can."

Everyone looked at me. "I can." I stated firmly again. Carlisle nodded and started to inspect her stomach which looked as if it had been torn out. The blood was tempting but I had more control than any vampire. I closed my eyes and pressed my mouth to her neck where she was originally bitten, I could feel her warm blood flowing through her veins but I could also taste the venom, I started to suck it out, making sure not to follow any of it. My eyes wouldn't turn red from the blood like a vampire's but I would feel guilty. I kept sucking, surprised at the amount of venom I could taste, it was running fast and if she wasn't already bleeding, I would think she'd be screaming right now. My mouth was full so I pulled away and turned to the side, spitting it all out, then resumed to ridding her body from the poison. There wasn't much left, her blood started to change back to its normal flow. I finished sucking it all out and pulled back quickly. Spitting the blood out, my mom patted me on the back.

"You did great…" I heard her say. I looked up at the woman to see her eyes lids fluttering as she tried to open them.

"Grandpa, what happened to her stomach?" I asked. Somehow he had obtained some suturing items and was sewing her up at vampire speed.

"I think it was the immortal children…" He replied. My mom reached around me and licked the woman's neck, covering the slight holes. She pulled back and spit the blood that was on her tongue out on the ground. I was proud of her.

"Almost done…" Carlisle muttered.

Alice was surprisingly still on the other side, keeping control of her want. Her eyes glazed over, focused on something far off… a vision.

Quickly she snapped out of it and gasped. "What is it Alice?" My mom asked.

"They're going to Volterra…"

"Are they trying to die?" I asked shocked.

"They got the Denali's…"

"That wouldn't be enough…" I muttered. My mom was already gone, looking for my dad. I looked around for Jacob and saw him staring at us perplexed. My eyes locked with his and he snapped out of it. He starred down at Jase with wide eyes. Then he ran with Jase to us.

"Carlisle, she's not breathing, she's lost too much blood." Alice cried.

"I know! I can't do anything!"

"Jake, don't bring him over here!" I said as Jacob neared. He stopped for a short second but continued. Then he set Jase on his feet.

I watched in utter horror as Jase walked to my Carlisle's side and laid a hand on his arm. Carlisle nodded and backed up, taking his supplies with him. Gently, Jase's laid his tiny hands on the woman's stomach. The suture Carlisle had half finished came undone as her stomach put itself back together.

"Oh my god…" I breathed. Her stomach finished going back together and Jase removed his hands. He held them up to me.

Momma, I need to wash them. Jake picked him up and carried him back to the house slowly.

The waitress gasped, her eyes flying open. "What happened to me? Where am I?" She asked looking around, and then laying her eyes on the blood that was on her shirt.

"Why is my shirt ripped and bloody?"

"Ma'am, you saved my baby, don't you remember?" I improvised.

"S-saved your… baby?" She asked confused.

"Yes, my son, you sucked the venom from the snakes out of him." I hope that would work…

"I-I did?"

"Yes you did."

"Why is my shirt ripped?"

"You tore pieces off to help cover the wound."

"Oh… is he- is he okay?" She asked sitting up.

"Yes, you saved his life by getting all the venom out." Yes! It worked!

"I did." She said sternly.

"Yes you did, but I think you left your dinner unattended…"

She scrambled to her feet. "I have to go back! I'll get fired if I leave it!" She took off running.

"It worked…" I breathed smiling.

"That was Amazing Nessie!" Alice exclaimed.

I blushed. "Thanks." Then my mind wandered to Jase. "Jase!" I got up and ran into the house. Jacob was sitting on the couch, bouncing Jase on his lap.

"Momma!" Jase exclaimed seeing me. I smiled and grabbed him from Jacob. He said momma… Tears welled up in my eyes as I kissed his little dimpled cheeks. Jacob got up and wrapped his arms around my waist.

I hugged Jase tightly, letting my tears fall.

Don't cry Momma…

"It's okay, they're happy tears." I replied.

The door behind me opened up. I turned slightly to see who it was.

Everyone entered the room, Alice had her arms around Jasper, consoling him, Esme was under Carlisle's arm, Rose and Emmett were holding hands and my parents were talking low. Jacob moved so I could turn around completely.

"How did Jase do that?" Alice asked seeing my smiling son.

Names mean things…

I looked at him confused. "What does Jase mean?" I asked looking at my son.

"Healer." He said smiling.
