Hopefully we'll get Bella's change underway soon....but I wanted her to have a lil bit more fun first ;)

*SM's world. Not mine.*

BPOV

"Is it a puppy?" I asked excitedly which caused Jasper to scoff.

"So your family could eat it as a midnight snack? I don't think so." He replied with a chuckle.

We were finally on our way to Alaska and I still had one more present coming but no one would tell me what it was, so I was left guessing.

"You know they would not eat my puppy," I said with a pout, "Give them some credit."

I turned back to the plane window and looked out, I loved flying, you could see all the clouds below you, it was pretty cool.

Afer some negotiating on Jasper's part it was decided that Carilsle and Esme would get there first. They purchased a house about two miles from where Jasper bought our house. Our house. That had a nice ring to it. Isn't that what people did? Get married, buy a house together? Marriage...Is that in our future? Is there really a reason to get married when we're already mated and know that we will be together for all eternity? I mean, I didn't need a piece of paper proving that I belonged to him.

"What has you so confused darlin'?" Jasper asked me.

There was no reason to lie to him or hide anything but I wasn't sure where my thoughts were going. I put on a bright smile and snuggled into his arm.

"Nothing of importance Major." I said sweetly, hoping he would drop it.

To my relief Charlotte came up to us and said that we would be landing shortly. I could feel my heart beat accelerating in excitement. Jasper tried to explain to me about the house, but he hasn't seen it either. He just had a Realtor choose one that had all the amenities that he wanted.

Flashback

"Ha, did you see that? That's what I call a killer serve." I said laughing at Charlotte's face. We found another thing that she couldn't cheat at. Nintendo Wii. I was kicking her ass in tennis.

"Whatever Swan. I got your number." She hissed from the side.

That just made me laugh harder when I noticed Jasper standing in the doorway looking at us with a smirk on his beautiful face.

"Are you going to stand there or are you going to join in?" I teased him.

"Actually, I wanted your input on our new house." He said, coming in the room and sitting down on the couch with a manila folder in his lap. I pressed the pause button as Char and I made our way to Jasper to see what he had.

"What do you want it to include?" He asked.

"A paintball field!" Charlotte exclaimed.

Jasper just chuckled while looking at me, "I already have that included. Marcus and Cauis still want me to train members of their Guard so I have a field included already." He said easily.

I nodded my head. Perfect. Maybe we could get super shooter paintball guns once I was changed. Did they even make those?

"Indoor pool and hot tub." I added.

Jasper just nodded his head. "I figured all of those. I am adding in something a little different though." He said mysteriously.

"What's that?" I asked intrigued. What more could he add that we didn't already have here.

"Well I was thinking of what you said about you may being a shield so I added in a training room of sorts that is vampire proof, so that should you have a power we can work on it and develop it in there." He said with a smile.

I felt my grin falter at the sound of that. "What if I'm just a normal vampire?" I asked sadly, "Oh God, then I would be just like Charlotte!" I exclaimed.

"Hey!" She said offended.

"Sorry." I muttered while she huffed.

"Darlin' I bet that Aro was right and your a shield," He chuckled, "It would explain why Edward could never hear your thoughts or Aro."

I sank back in the seat slightly mollified.

End Flashback

"Wow. This place is great!" I said stepping out of the car. We just pulled up to the house and it was enormous. The only neighbors were my parents, and our houses were secluded surrounded by woods. It was perfect for when I was changed.

We were walking up the front steps when I saw Esme stepping out to greet us.

"Mom!" I said throwing myself into her arms, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm decorating for you guys a little bit." She said happily, "I won't be done for the next couple of days though. Plus I wanted to see your face when Jasper gave you your surprise." She said with a wink. Oh crap. I almost forgot about that! I turned around to face Jasper with a huge grin on my face. "Well come on now, give it to me Major." I said playfully.

I barely registered Esme, Charlotte and Peter following behind Jasper and I as he led me to the side of the house where a big garage was sitting.

"Now Peter." He demanded.

I turned and looked between Jasper and Peter confused when Peter pressed a button on the remote in his hand. Slowly the garage door lifted revelaing a brand new, cherry red, Lexus Convertible.

"No! No freaking way!" I squealed, "Is that mine?"

I ran over to the side without waiting for an answer. Of course it was mine! "But my license?" I asked all of a sudden disappointed. Would they let me drive it without one?

Jasper just laughed. "This is your post change car. We'll get you a new identity so you'll be able to drive it legally," He said, "And hopefully you'll prove to be a better vampire and NOT get pulled over by a mere human cop." He said cocking his eye brow up at Charlotte.

"If you remember correctly Major, I had a 'mere human' in the passanger seat with me." Charlotte huffed, crossing her arms over her chest.

I laughed and ran my hand over the hood of my new car. This was fucking perfect! I couldn't wait to be changed now just so I could drive it! At that moment though my stomach let out a loud growl even to my human ears. Esme just laughed and grabbed my hand while Jasper gave me a dark look. What was that look for? Oh! Oh no. No. While Esme walked me into the house I didn't even look around at the new house, I was racking my brain trying to think of when I ate last. Crap. This can't be good.

I could faintly hear Esme calling my name in the background.

"Bella dear?" I heard Esme calling my name again.

I snapped my head back to look at her and gave her an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I must have zoned out there for a second." I said, trying to laugh it off.

"No worries dear," She said smiling warmly at me, "I said that I made you your favorite chicken enchiladas, they're in the oven. I'll get out of your hair, but I'll see you tomorrow." She gave me a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before leaving me alone in the kitchen. How did we even get to the kitchen?

I took a minute to take in my surroundings. This kitchen was much larger than the one at the last house. It had brand new appliances and granite counter tops. The cupboards were a dark wood with designs on the front.

"Somebodys in trouble." Charlotte's voice sang out from behind me.

I turned around quickly to see her smiling like the Cheshire cat at me. What an ass. "I don't know what your talking about." I said, playing dumb.

Charlotte just laughed before grabbing my hand and leading me out of the kitchen. "Whatever sugar, you can deal with it later, Jasper wants to show you the rest of the house."

Why we needed six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a pool house that was the size of our last house, I had no idea. The humans that worked for him before he ended up sending back to Italy with the promise to me that they wouldn't be hurt. They were in more danger staying with us then going to Italy once I was turned. I didn't like the idea of becoming a threat to people like that, but as Jasper pointed out, everyone went through it and he would be right there beside me to make sure I didn't lose control.

The only thing we disagreed on now was what my diet would consist of. I wanted to follow my parents example and only feed off of animals while Jasper insisted that I feed off of humans and not go against my nature.

He tried to convince me but I was set on not hurting a defenseless human. In the end Jasper just threw up his hands claiming I was too damn stubborn. I just laughed and kissed his lips with a quiet 'thank you'. He knew that it was important to me and I trusted him to help me through it.

"The Denali sisters are coming?" I asked hesitantly.

"Yes sweetie, aren't you excited?" Esme gushed.

The Denali's were old friends of the family, they kept the same lifestyle as Carlisle and Esme so it was easy for them to be around me growing up. Their coven consisted of Eleazar and Carmen, they were the parents I guess you could say, and then there was Kate, Irinia, and Tanya. They were like the adopted kids, just like how Emmett, Rose, Alice, Edward and myself were the adopted kids of Carlisle and Esme. I liked them all immensely, it was Tanya I couldn't stand. What a bitch.

Ever since I was old enough to understand whenever she would come over she was constantly telling me that I was the family pet. I was no better than a dog in her eyes.

I groaned and slumped back in my seat.

"Sure mom, ecstatic." I mumbled.

It wasn't their fault, I never told them the things that Tanya said. I would get upset and they would comfort me but that was it. Edward and Alice were the only ones that knew and I begged them not to say anything. He and Alice confronted her the last time they visited and threatened to dismember her if she came near me again. We haven't seen her since and I was hoping to keep it that way.

I knew that this time would be different, they didn't know that I was mated with a vampire yet, and they sure as hell didn't know that Jasper was now a part of our family. Eleazar was afraid of Jasper and made sure to continuously tell Carlisle to keep his distance. Apparently Eleazar and Jasper knew each other when they both worked for the Volturi in Italy. Jasper could feel Eleazar's fear and dislike for him so they never were friendly towards one another. Eleazar didn't agree with Jasper's methods on training the newborns apparently. He was agianst killing newborn vampires whereas Jasper disposed of them as if it was no big deal. Eleazar's words, not mine. It should be pretty exciting to see how this would play out.

If only there was a way to get back at Tanya for all the hell she's caused me over the last eighteen years...It was like a light bulb went off in my head. Of course!

I sat up quickly and threw the cushion I had been holding onto back onto the couch.

"Where are you going?" Asked Esme not looking at me.

"I'm going to go find Charlotte, do you know where she is?" I asked.

"Right here babe." Char said coming to stand next to me, "You were right Esme that is the perfect place to plant your garden. It's going to be magnificent."

"Thank you dear." Said Esme sweetly before turning back to her work.

"So you wanted to see me?" Char asked cocking her eye brow up at me.

I gave Char a wicked grin and heard an "Oh shit." In response. Oh yes.

"Carmen, Eleazar welcome!" Announced Carlisle happily, gesturing to his old friends. "Kate, Irinia and Tanya, how nice to see you again." He said as they all stepped inside.

"Carlisle it's been too long. We're so glad that you have decided to move back, though we weren't expecting you for a while." Said Eleazar glancing at me and then at Charlotte.

"Bella, you've grown!" Exclaimed Carmen coming over and giving me a big hug.

"Hello Carmen." I mumbled, hugging her back.

"Let's all go talk in the living room," Carlisle suggested leading Esme towards the side of the house, "We have a lot to catch you up on."

"So it seems." Said Elezar giving me a strange look.

As the Denali "sisters" walked by I hugged Kate and Irinia and returned Tanya's glare, before following them to the sitting area.

Carlisle and Esme took the recliner chair while the Denali's sat on the sofa. That left the love seat for Char and me.

"Well old friend, please enlighten us on what has been going on with you all. I never expected you to associate yourselves with a human drinker..." Said Eleazar trailing off as he looked into Charlotte's ruby red eyes.

"My apologies Elezar," Said Esme kindly, "That is Charlotte, Bella's friend. I'm afraid you will have to wait to meet her mate Peter, he is out hunting at the moment."

I saw Carmen's eyes narrow in on Charlotte and couldn't help but smirk. The best part was yet to come.

"How did you two meet?" Carmen asked me stiffly.

It took everything in me not to laugh. I liked Carmen don't get me wrong but their reactions to me being mated with The God of War would be priceless.

Before I could respond though Carlisle interrupted. Probably going to want to break the news as gently as possible.

"Before we get into all that, you should know that the reason we came back sooner than planned is that Bella here is going to be changed within the next couple of weeks. Possibly sooner." Carlisle said.

I saw five heads turn and look at me increduously. "Why the change of plans?" Asked Kate.

I spoke up this time before Carlisle could.

"Because that is what my mate and I agreed on." I said with an innocent smile.

"Your mate?" Said Tanya with an ugly look on her face.

"It seems as though Bella is the mate of a fellow vampire," Explained Esme gently, "She's been living with him for a couple of months now. They actually have a house a couple of miles from here."

"I'm afraid I don't understand Carlisle." Snapped Eleazar. Looked like he was tired of the preliminaries.

"The Major is my mate." I said simply, leaning back into the seat cushion.

There was silence while my words sunk in then all hell broke loose.

"Carlisle, are you insane?" Eleazar spat while Carmen and the others gasped. "Letting her mate with him?"

"Elezar, you know as well as I do that I can't fight the power of a mating. Apparently it's the same for humans as it is for us vampires. You should know that Jasper is here as well, he is hunting with Peter and we're expecting them back at any time."

"I understand a mating Carlisle," Eleazar hissed, "I'm just surprised you went along with it so easily."

"Ah Elezar, you must not remember that I do have my ways." Said a silky voice from right beside me. I jumped and let out a startled squeak.

"Jesus Major." I hissed. When I was turned first thing I was going to do was scare the shit out of everyone by sneaking up on them and yelling 'BOO' at the top of my lungs.

Jasper didn't say a word but scooped me up and set me on my feet next to him.

"You know as well as I do, Eleazar, that I always get what I want and won't accept 'no' for an answer. But luckily for me Isabella has accepted me as her mate without any outside influence." Jasper said icily.

I glanced up at him and then back at Charlotte who looked like she was trying hard not to laugh.

"Carlisle I'm afraid I need to be going, Peter and I need to get the Guard stationed," Jasper said looking at Carlisle before turning down and looking at me, "Isabella, we set up the field for you if you want to use it before dinner." He said with a smirk.

Suddenly I was on Charlotte's back running at vampire speed back to our house. "Your ass is mine Swan." She called over her shoulder laughing.

Forty-five minutes later I was showered and worn the hell out. Charlotte was sitting next to me playing Mario Kart on the N64. It was decided it was a draw on the paintball game. Wuss, just didn't want to admit defeat.

"Okay Charlotte, we're going back to Esme's in an hour, when do we put my plan into action?" I whispered. I didn't want to risk Jasper over hearing our plan and then try to stop us.

"First off, it was MY plan, second you have to be patient...I promise you though we will make these next two weeks miserable for her though." She said laughing.

"Your plan and your ass if we get caught." I said with a smirk.

"Okay, I put the stuff in her conditioner....now tell me again, why does she shower so often?" Charlotte whispered to me. We were hiding behind the garage, I had given Charlotte the bottle of instant hair dye and she used her vampire speed to put it in Tanya's leave in hair conditioner while they were all out hunting.

"I don't know, all I know is she is obsessed with that conditioner shit so this will work perfectly." I whispered back. "Let's go watch t.v." I suggested, getting out of my crouching position.

"Did you grab her favorite jacket?" I asked quickly.

"Yepp, I have it stashed so I'll work on it tonight and return it tomorrow." She said happily. This might just be the best two weeks of my life if everything goes according to plan.
