The Beach House
Jasper's POV
It had been a few weeks since the soccer game.
Everyone was always having fun and getting to know each other more. Jasper and Bella were inseparable as always. She still wouldn't fall asleep unless he was there. Sometimes she fell asleep while he was hunting during the afternoon but not often. She had gotten close to Alice and Rosalie. Ryan had become very close to Esme, Emmett and Carlisle. Edward was close to Jimmy and Joey. The twins saw Sammy and Gabby almost every day as well and they had grown closer as well. Bella and jasper went to their meadow almost every day, even if it was just for a little bit it was something they loved to do and had many picnics there. Carlisle, Esme and Charlie became close and were always smiling and became close. All three were close to all the kids and loved them all.
2 weeks before school starts (Bella's POV)
They had the week at the beach house planned and Charlie had gotten the entire week off from work, Carlisle did also. Everyone packed the day before and Carlisle drove the van and Charlie drove his car following them. They had all the gear and stuff they needed for the week, except buying some food during the week they were set for everything. They arrived and Bella's family was in awe he beach house and loved it right away.
"This place is so cool and awesome Esme, Carlisle." Charlie, Ryan, Jimmy and Joey all said together
"Thanks Charlie, kids. We knew you would all love it, we know Bella loves it here." Esme smiled and they walked inside
Carlisle and Esme showed everyone their rooms. Jasper and Bella shared the one they used the last time they were there. Everyone unpacked as Esme made some lunch. They ate and got into their suits and went down to the beach. The Cullen's wore their sunblock so they didn't sparkle.
Bella, Alice and Rosalie were lying on some towels in the sand. Everyone else went swimming and Ryan played in the sand making a sand castle.
"So Bella, how's everything going with Jasper?" Alice grinned
"Everything's going great between us Ali. I couldn't be any happier than I am right now. He is so sweet and nothing like the stories say about him." She smiled looking at Jasper dunking Emmett and swimming away quickly, Emmett chased after him
"Yeah ever since you came into his life Bella he has changed for the good. He's a lot happier and never depressed about his past like before. He has something to look forward to now. When we used to go hunting he was happy to get away from the house and hunt sometimes for hours and hours, sometimes for few days, but now he has you he seems to want to hunt quickly just so he isn't away from you." Rosalie pointed out
"When I found him those many years ago Bella he wasn't happy with his life and I knew I needed to bring him with me to find my mate. I didn't totally know why I needed to do this but I knew if I didn't he would have never been the man he is now. He was happy for a while living with Peter, Charlotte and Ricky. He had tried to feed less and helped somewhat but he still felt their fear and pain. They were sad when he left but wanted him to get over his depression." Alice explained
"I love that he helped them get away from that life, that's no life for anyone and especially for a teenager." Bella said
"I agree Bella and he was worried about Ricky when they left but grateful for him when Jasper found out he was able to escape as well. I think he would've helped him in any way he could if he hadn't escaped. From what I've been told and heard he considers them his brothers and sister like we're his family. They visit every few years and he seems to enjoy the times they do. He even convinced Ricky who didn't wanna feed on humans like him to try animals." Alice smiled
"What happened about that?" she asked curious
"Ricky tried it and from what I have heard has been feeding off them since. This happened a few years after we came here and they visited. The family loves them all and considers them family as well. So we have another sister and two more brothers and they call us family to." Rosalie said happy
"When will they visit again Alice?" she looked at Alice
Alice went into a vision and came out smiling "They are coming for a visit actually in few days. Their calling Carlisle tomorrow and asking if it's okay and he says yes. Everyone has a lot fun and when Leah comes to visit with the girls there's a few big surprises." Alice says giddy
"Awesome and what's the surprise Alice?" Bella asks
"You have to wait and see Bella, but after they visit, they might be staying for a while." Alice grins
"Okay Ali. Do you girls want to go and have some fun torturing our boys some?" Bella smirks
"Yeah. How shall we accomplish that though Bella?" Rosalie and Alice ask
"We sneak up on them is how. You two swim underwater and I swim above, acting all innocent." She smirked and giggled
"That's a great plan." Both agreed and smiled
The girls walked into the water and swam towards their mates. Alice and Rosalie swam underwater and Bella was swimming above. She smiled at the boys and they watched her. When she got to Jasper she kissed him and the girls got under the boys and sprang out the water and tossed the boys high into the air, Alice helped her by tossing Jasper. The boys landed few dozen feet away as the girls giggled and swam away fast. The boys took chase and caught them quickly. Alice and Rosalie were dunked and giggling, and jasper softly dunked Bella then tossed in the air.
She glared at grinning Jasper. "You boys having fun?"
"We were until some little vixen decided to plot some torture for us." Jasper grinned and swam over to her
"I did no such thing Jasper." She smirked
"Yes you did. Edward heard it in Alice's head." He glared and hugged her
"Alice you had to be thinking about it" she glared at Alice
"I tried but sorry." Alice said pouting
She glared at Alice and swam towards her. She laughed and dunked Alice and Jasper tossed Edward into the air. Then Emmett tossed Jasper into the air as well. The girls were laughing at Edward and Jasper. Then all three boys chased them and the girls squealed as they swam away. When they were caught the boys took turns tossing the girls into the air and into the water. The others watched and laughed played in the water. Ryan was building a sand castle with Esme and Carlisle.
Around one Esme went and made some lunch. Everyone ate and Ryan went to his room and laid down for his nap. Bella was laying down on her towel watching everyone play in the water. Jasper was splashing Emmett and Edward.
Bella fell asleep on the towel as she watched them play.
Jasper's POV
After we had lunch we went to play in the lake, Ryan went and had his nap and Bella was lying on her towel watching him goof around with his brothers. When he looked over towards Bella, he saw she was sleeping and he smiled. He kept goofing around and kept looking over to Bella once in a while. Whenever he looked over at her she was soundly sleeping and when he felt her feelings, she was happy and content. He knew she had fun goofing around with everyone and had a lot fun just spending time with everyone.
After she had been sleeping for a half hour he felt her fear spike high she was crying in her sleep. He heard Charlie calling to him as he was trying to wake her up. "Jasper she is having a nightmare, can you come and wake her up?"
Jasper was swimming towards Charlie and Bella. He saw and heard Bella wake up and screamed and was crying as she clung to Charlie. "Daddy it was so scary." She mumbled
She cried into Charlie's chest as he held her. "Everything's alright Bella. It was only a dream and not real." He soothed her
Jasper watched as Charlie soothed her as he swam towards them and ran over. Charlie released her and Bella saw him. When he sat down on the beach, she climbed into his lap and wept into his chest. He was rocking her back and forth slowly and rubbing her back. "Tell me what's wrong Bella."
She kept crying against his chest as he rubbed her back. After few minutes she finally settled down and clung closer to Jasper. He was purring against her neck as she was calming down. "I saw daddy getting hurt and I was trying to help him. I wasn't able to stop him from being hurt bad."
He purred louder and rubbed her back more. "No one is going to let your dad get hurt Bella. He's going to be fine and nothing is going to happen to him. Look he is over talking to my dad and mom and he is alright."
She looked over at Charlie and held him tighter. "I know Jasper but it felt so real."
"I know it did angel but it wasn't and everyone is fine and we all love you and him so much." Jasper reassured her
She relaxed into his arms and he kissed her forehead softly. He laid them down and Bella lay on his side and her head on his shoulder, his arms wrapped around her as she was drifting back to sleep. He leaned over and kissed her softly. "Go back to sleep my little angel. I'll be right here to keep the nightmares away."
She curled closer against him and kissed his chin. "I love you Jazz."
"I love you to Belle." He kissed her forehead as she fell back asleep
Jasper lay there watching everyone play in the water and in the sand. Ryan came back outside and Esme was helping him swim around in the shallow waters and he was squealing and having fun. Bella woke up an hour later and they both went to swim around and play. Esme made dinner and they had a bon fire and roasted marshmallows. Everyone had fun and after eleven went to bed. Bella fell asleep against his side as he held her close.
In the morning, Bella was still curled against his chest. Around three Bella was sending off fear and worry as she was whimpering in her sleep. Jasper sent her a lot calm and started trying to wake her. "Bella angel, you have to wake up." He shook her a little
Bella woke up screaming and crying into his chest. He rubbed her back and purred against her hair. "Ja…zz."
"Everything is okay Belle it was only a dream and wasn't real." Jasper reassured her
She curled closer to him and buried her head in his chest as he purred louder. "It was so re…al Jasper."
Major felt her fear and came out to help. "Tell me about it my little angel."
She looked at Major and hugged his chest. "Can we go for a little walk major?"
"Yeah we can little one." He sat up and carried Bella out the door to the yard. He was carrying her and sat down by the water, with her in his lap. "Tell me please little one, you are worrying me right now."
"I'm sor...ry Major it felt so real and scared me badly." She started crying and turned her head against his chest
He leaned down and purred against her neck as he held her close, sending calm and love waves to her. He didn't like her feeling this way and wanted to make her feel better and know he wasn't gonna let anything happen like she dreamed earlier. He rocked her gently and kept purring as she kept crying and whimpering softly against his chest. He was whispering his love for her and reassuring her he was here and nothing would hurt her.
After twenty minutes Bella finally settled down and stopped crying. "Thank you Major."
"It wasn't anything little one. Can you tell me what has you so scared?" he asked still worried
"I was lying in the sand and something was watching me and whenever I looked where I thought it was nothing was there. Then some monster attacked me and I was screaming for you but no one came to save me." She whimpered
"I'm sorry you had that nightmare Bella but you know I will always be there to save you, no matter what is scaring you." Jasper reassured her
She nuzzled his neck and he purred. "Thank you and I know you're always here for me Jazz, but it felt so real and that's why I was so scared."
"I know little one and nothing like that is ever going to happen. I won't let anything or anyone ever hurt you again." Major held her closer and nuzzled her neck
"I know major and that's one the reasons I love you. I know no matter what you'll be here to protect me from everything and everyone who might hurt me." She yawned against his chest and he smiled
"Come on little one, you're tired and need more sleep. I'll help you sleep and won't let any bad dreams scare you again." He carried her back into their room and laid on the bed
Bella curled into his side and kissed him softly. Resting her head on his chest she fell asleep quickly and he kept sending his love and calming waves to help her sleep through the night.
Around seven in the morning he heard Carlisle talking to Peter and telling him they could come visit at the beach house. Peter would be here tomorrow morning with Charlotte and Ricky. Leah and the girls were visiting for few days and would be here in few hours. The twins were happy when they found out. His family was happy that Peter, Char and Ricky were coming and wanted to find out what surprises they had to tell them.
Bella started waking up a little after seven. She curled closer as he kissed her forehead and purred. "Morning my little angel."
"Mmm morning my little Major." She smiled and nibbled his lip as she kissed him
He playfully growled and kissed back. "You ready to get up and have some breakfast my angel?"
"Not really Jazz. I wanna just lay here in your arms all morning and snuggle." She smiled as he purred
"So would I little one but Leah, Sammy and Gabby will be here around ten and I know my sisters want to spend some time with you today." He said a little annoyed
"I know they want to and I wanna spend more time with them, but I want to spend more time with my really sweet Major. I don't get to see him very often." She grinned
"How about Major makes you a deal little one?" he grinned
"What does the Major purpose?" she looked up
"That you spend the day with everyone and when its naptime he lays down with you and you spend dinner with him as well. Does that sound fair to you?" he asked
"That sounds fair to me boys. As long as you behave all day, if not I will have to find someone else to nap with and have dinner with." She giggled
He growled and hugged her tighter to his side. "I'll behave my little angel. I won't let you nap or eat without me. Last time you napped alone, you woke up screaming and crying from a nightmare."
"I know and I don't want to nap without you either Jazz. So we better start getting up before the evil little pixie comes and finds us still in bed." They chuckled and climbed out of bed
Bella went and hopped into the shower, after she was done Jasper hopped in. she changed into some jean shorts and blue t-shirt. Jasper came out wearing white undershirt and jeans, wearing his custom cowboy boots as well.
"Mmm you look so good Jazz." She kissed him softly
"Thanks angel and so do you." Kissing back and they walked back into the dining room
Everyone was sitting around the table and eating eggs, Esme was making more and some bacon. Jasper and Bella sat down and dug in. jasper only ate a little and Bella ate a plate full, like everyone else. Fifteen minutes later everyone was finished and the kids went to watch cartoons and Esme, Carlisle and Charlie were drinking coffee at the table.
"So what are we doing today Emmy?" Ryan asked from Emmett's lap
"I think us boys are going to be up to no good and the girls I don't know yet." Emmett smirked
"We're going on trip to look around Port Angeles for a while and come back by lunchtime." Rosalie grinned and Alice nodded agreeing
"That sounds like fun." Everyone said agreeing
"When is the girls coming over?" joey asked looking at Charlie
"They'll be here around ten. Leah's dropping off the girls and then meeting up with the other girls." Charlie smiled at Joey
"K daddy." Joey said
"When are your nephews and niece coming Esme?" Charlie looked over at Esme
Tomorrow morning around eight or nine. Ricky will like Leah and Bella since their around same age and the kids are close with Peter and Charlotte. They are good kids but Peter is like Emmett, likes to play pranks on the others." Emmett rolls his eyes
"Sounds like we'll have more fun tomorrow when everyone is here." Charlie and everyone agreed nodding
"Come on we have to get going Bella." Alice said giddy from Edward's side
"I guess so Ali. I will see you later Jazz. Bye daddy, boys." She hugged her dad and brothers as Jasper walked with her and his sisters to the car
"Bye Belle. Don't let my sisters torment you to much." Jasper grins
"I won't cowboy and have fun. I love you." Bella kissed him
He purred and kissed back. "I love you to and have fun."
Alice, Rosalie and Bella drove off towards Port Angeles and Jasper went back inside.
"So what's on the agenda for today guys?" jasper asked sitting back down
"Can we go for walk around Jazzy?" Ryan asked from Charlie's lap
"Yeah that sounds like fun little man. That fine with you dad, Charlie?"
"That's fine but be careful boys." Charlie and Carlisle said
Emmett, Edward, Jasper and Ryan went off to walk around and the twins waited for Leah and the others.
Ryan was running ahead of them looking at the sand. He was laughing at the seagulls flying watching for fish to catch.
"He is so rambunctious today. Reminds me of you a lot Emmett." Edward teased
"I'm not as rambunctious as that munchkin Edward." Emmett punched Edward's arm
He just laughed at his brothers and watched Ryan playing in the sand. Ryan ran back to them and showed a rock he found. "Look at the cool roc I found guys."
"That's awesome little man." They all said smiling
Around ten they walked back and Seth and Jake had come with Leah and the girls. Gabby and Sammy went riding on bikes with Joey and Jimmy. Leah went off to find the girls in the city.
"Daddy can we go fishing today?" Ryan looked at Charlie
"That's fine with me Ry." Charlie hugged Ryan
"Come on little man. There's gear in the shed by the lake." Emmett picked Ryan up and tossed him into the air
They went and got gear to fish and had fun fishing and goofing off.
Bella's POV
We drove to Port Angeles and stopped at the mall. Alice led the way into a clothing store. She was having me try on some outfits. I liked most of them. We ended up buying four shirts and two pairs of pants. I bought Jasper a new shirt saying 'I'm whipped and I love it.' When I showed it to Alice and Rosalie they just laughed and said he wouldn't wear it.
We went and Alice bought me some juice to drink and waited for Leah by the entrance. Leah came in and Alice demanded she buy her a new outfit to meet everyone tomorrow, Leah accepted smiling, knowing she didn't have a choice. Leah found a cute tight jeans and purple tank top. I knew Alice had seen something happening for Leah tomorrow but I didn't know what was gonna happen and I couldn't wait to see what was gonna happen. I was excited to meet Jaspers brothers and sister. They seemed so nice and I hoped we became friends like I was with the rest the family. Jasper had dropped his phone in the water when we walked around later night talking after I woke up crying, so to make up for it I went and bought him the new IPhone touch and knew he would love it. I got him a new watch since he lost his again from what Alice told me.
I and Leah had some lunch at the café at the mall and we headed back home. I drove with Leah since Alice's car was filled with everything we bought. We all laughed at all the clothes Alice and Rosalie bought.
I fell asleep on the way back, and woke up when Leah was shaking me. I woke up from the nightmare I was having of being stalked again. I was crying and whimpering when I woke up and Leah called Jasper as soon as I woke up.
He picked up on the first ring. "Hi Leah, how's the shopping trip going?"
"Ja…zz" I whimpered and was crying
"Bella angel, what's wrong?" he was worried
"I had…" I cried
"Everything's alright baby, it was only a dream and wasn't real. You're almost back and I will help you sleep as soon as you get back. Just hold on for few minutes." He assured me
"Ok Jazz. I love you." I laid my head against the window
"I love you to Belle." He said and I smiled
I rested my head on the window and listened to Jasper hum as Leah drove. I was drifting off as we pulled up to the beach house. Jasper met us at the car and opened the door and helped me out. He walked us to the house and up to our room and laid me down on the bed. He lay down next to me and I curled into his side and rested my head on his chest.
"Are you alright now little one?" he asked worried
"Yeah I'm fine Jazz, I just had the same nightmare as last night and woke up scared." I whimpered into his chest
"I'm sorry you had a nightmare angel, now get some sleep if you want and I will keep the bad dreams away from you."
"Thanks Jazz." I fell asleep with his arms wrapped around me
I woke up a few hours later, still curled into Jaspers arms and him purring in my hair. "Hey there sleepy head."
"Hey yourself cowboy." I leaned and kissed him softly
"Did you sleep good?" he grinned
"No I didn't." I teased
"Why didn't you sleep good angel?" jasper pouted
"That's because I slept very good my cowboy." I grinned
Jasper growled and held me to his side and kissed my forehead. "That wasn't very nice Belle"
"I don't know what you mean Jazz." I stuck my tongue out at him
I squirmed out his arms and ran off and he chased after me. I ran behind Emmett hiding. Jasper came looking for me and didn't find me and went away.
Emmett looked down at me grinning "Why are you hiding from Jasper Bells?"
"He asked if I slept good and I said I didn't and when he asked why not, I said because I slept very good. He said that want very nice. Then he pouted and I stuck my tongue out and ran to hide. Now he is looking for me. Well more like Major's looking for me." I pouted behind Emmett
Emmett was laughing "I thought you weren't scared of him little one?" Emmett raised his eyebrow
"I'm not but I don't wanna know what he has planned for me teasing him like that." I smirked and stayed hidden
"Well you're gonna have to face him sometime Bells." Emmett shook his head grinning
"I don't know what to tell you Bella but you better find a better spot. He's coming this way."
She rolled her eyes and snuck away from Emmett. She went and found Esme in the kitchen baking some cookies with Ryan. She went and hid by Esme
"Hi Bella. Did you know Jasper is looking for you?" Ryan asked from the counter
"I know he is, but don't tell him where I am Ryan."
"Why are you hiding from Jasper Bella?" Esme asked as she put the cookies in the oven
She told them why she was hiding and Ryan laughed "No wonder he's looking for you."
Jasper came in and grinned at her. "There you are little one."
She pouted and went over to him. "Hi Major."
"I've been looking for you. That's mean for saying that and hiding." He said pouting
"I know and I'm sorry Major." She hugged him but he didn't hug her tight
"I know but I am mad at you now. So go play with my sisters and Leah." He turned her towards the girls
"But…" she pouted
"Nope."
She walked into the room Alice, Rosalie and Leah were in and sat down pouting.
"Why you seem so down Bella?" Rosalie asked
She told them why and they giggled.
"He is only going to be mad for a little while Bella. Major was just worried because he had to keep you from having a few nightmares earlier and wanted to know how you slept since he helped." Alice assured her
"Oh I didn't know. I was just teasing him, he always asks me and never gets mad if I tease him." Bella said
"We know but Major will be fine in a little while and come and drag you away to talk to you, after he cools down." Rosalie and Alice giggle
The four girls talk and sort out everything they bought earlier.
Bella goes looking for jasper after an hour but can't find him. She goes back to Alice. "Where's Jasper Ali?"
"He just went for a quick hunt with Emmett and Edward. They'll be back in an hour or so." Alice told her
She went and ate some cookies with the boys and sat down and watched some movies with the girls.
The guys called and said they were going to miss dinner and be back late. Something about the truck wasn't starting and taking it to be fixed. Bella thought Jasper was still mad so he wanted to be away longer. After dinner she went for a walk along the beach and sat down watching the sun start to set. She didn't hear Jasper come over until he sat down and pulled her into his lap.
"I wasn't being mean earlier Jazz, I was just teasing Major." She curled closer and Jasper held her tight
"I know you were Bella. He was just worried and when you ran off he was mad. When you hid from him for some reason he got madder and said he wanted sometime by himself. He needed to cool off, so we went hunting with Emmett and Edward. We really did have problems with the truck on the way back. He had finally settled down and wanted to apologize for earlier when it decided to have issues. When we got back and I didn't see you inside I knew you would be out here." Jasper kissed her soft and purred
"So am I forgiven?" she pouted
"Yes you're forgiven my angel. Is major forgiven for earlier as well?" jasper smiled and kissed her again
"Yes he is forgiven. I missed you earlier, I believe we had a dinner date tonight." She pointed out
"I know and I wanted to come and have our date but the truck broke down. So can we reschedule for tomorrow for breakfast?" he grinned
"That sounds good to me Jazz and then we can see your brothers and sister." She smiled
"Yeah and they can't wait to meet you and your dad and brothers." He grinned
Bella leaned back into Jasper as he held her tight against his chest. They sat there watching the sunset over the lake. It was beautiful and looked very beautiful shining off the lake, just like the first time they were there.
"Come on little one. Your dad and everyone is probably wondering where we disappeared to and when we're going back. Even though Alice knows where and when we are coming back."
They chuckled and walked back to the beach house and into the living room. Everyone was sitting around and watching Air Bud.
Jasper and Bella sat down on the floor by Esme and Carlisle. "Did you two kids make up now?" Esme asked
"Yeah we did Esme." Bella smiled
She leaned against Jaspers side and watched the movie. During Hotel for Dogs Bella laid her head in Jaspers lap and kept watching. When the movie was over her, Ryan, Jimmy and Joey had fallen asleep. Charlie, Esme Carlisle and Jasper helped them to bed. Bella curled into Jaspers side as soon as he lay down next to her. She stayed asleep through the night and woke up around seven
She stretched and smiled at Jasper. "Morning Jasper."
"Morning Belle." He kissed her softly
"Thanks for helping me sleep Jasper." Bella kissed him again
"It was my pleasure angel. I always will help you sleep, because I don't want you having bad dreams." He hugged her close
"I know that's one the reasons I love you." She snuggled closer
"I love you to Belle." He smiled "Come on let's get ready for our breakfast and meet the goofs in an hour. I got us a picnic filled with your breakfast and we are eating on the beach."
"Alrighty Jazz." She gets up and heads to the shower and after she finishes they head outside
Jasper takes her to their spot and they sit down on the blanket.
"This is very sweet Jazz." She hugs him and sits down in his lap
"You're welcome Belle. I always love to spoil you like this." Jasper hugged her closer
Bella started eating her picnic breakfast as Jasper had his arms wrapped around her waist. After she was finished she leaned back against his chest and he purred against her neck.
"You ready to meet my goofy siblings Bella?" jasper grinned
"Yeah I guess I'm ready. Let's get heading back." They stand up and head back
They go inside and sit in the living room with everyone else.
Around eight someone knocked and Esme answered the door and Esme, Peter, Charlotte and Ricky came into the living room and smiled.
"Hi Jasper, Carlisle, Emmett, Edward, Alice Rosalie. You must be Bella, Ryan, Joey, Jimmy, Charlie, Leah, Seth, Jake, Sammy, Gabby. I'm Peter and this is my girlfriend Charlotte and little brother Ricky." Peter smiles and shakes the boys and Charlie's hands and hugs Bella
Charlotte and Ricky say their hello's as well and hug everyone. Leah and Ricky can't take their eyes off each other and Jasper smiles.
Everyone sits back down. Peter and Charlotte sit by Bella and Jasper, Leah sits Ricky next to her on the couch and talk.
"So my brother has told me about you guys and I'm happy he has found someone like you Bella." Peter said smiling at her
"Thank you Peter. He has told me a lot about you guys also. I think Leah and Ricky like each other." Bella smiles and looks over at the pair
Charlie's phone rings and he goes to talk on it in the kitchen. A few minutes later he comes back in annoyed. "I'm having fun but John called in sick and they need me to come cover for the rest of the week, he caught that flu bug going around."
"You sure you have to go daddy?" Ryan pouts
"Yeah unfortunately I have to kiddo. I don't want to but I need to. I will call when I get home and see you in a few days." Charlie hugs Ryan
"Okay daddy." All the kids hug Charlie and he leaves
"So you and Ricky are mates Leah?" peter grins
"Yeah we are. I imprinted on him." Leah smiles and Ricky pulls her into his lap
"And I felt what Peter said it would be like when I found my true mate." Ricky smiled and hugged Leah
"I'm happy for you kids." Esme and Carlisle said happily
"That's a new for me for sure, but I couldn't be happier for you Leah." Jake smiled and Seth agreed
"So that makes us cousins in law Peter. Damn I don't want you as a cousin." Bella teased
Peter glared and then grinned. "Same here kid."
Charlotte smacked Peter and he pouted. Everyone laughed and girls giggled as he pouted.
Ricky and Leah decide to go for a walk and get to know each other more.
Bella drags Jasper to see his new shirt. He sees it and pouts.
"No way Bella, for one I'm not whipped." Jasper teases her
"If you do, I got a present you will love." Bella bargains
Jasper takes and puts the shirt on and she gives him his new IPhone. He hugs and kisses her tight. "Thanks Belle, I love both them."
"I thought you didn't want the shirt?" she glared at him
"I...I...err" jasper pouted
Bella walks out to find Esme in the kitchen "Esme"
"Yes Bella dear?"
"I got Jasper a new shirt and he said he wasn't going to wear it and after I gave him his new shirt he said he loved them both." She pouted
"OH JASPER, COME HERE." Esme called and Jasper came in
"Yes mom." Jasper said sulking
"Were you acting like you didn't like the gift Bella got for you, then saying you did after you saw what the other gift was?" Esme glared
"Yes ma'am." Jasper answered
"That's not very nice Jasper. Now say you're sorry." Esme smiled
"I'm sorry Bella." Jasper said and kissed her forehead
"You're welcome Jazz." She kissed back
"Now go play nice and no more fibbing." Esme said and they walked into the living room with everyone else
"You misbehaving again Jasper?" peter snickered
"Yes I did and Bella tattled on me to Esme." Jasper pouted
"Awww poor Jasper got in trouble." Peter taunted
Esme came over and smacked back of Peter's head. "Stop taunting your brother Peter. It's not very nice."
"Yes Esme, sorry Jasper." Peter apologized
"Good now you kids play nice or else. Got me?" she looked at all the older kids
"Yes Esme." Everyone said
Esme went back to the kitchen and Ryan followed.
"So what are we doing today?" charlotte asked
"Any ideas Jazz?" she smiled at Jasper
"We could go swimming and/or fishing." Jasper suggested
"That sounds good." The boys agreed
"I don't wanna swim right now Jazz." Bella said from his side
"I'll sit by you Bella." Charlotte said
"Okay Char." She smiled at charlotte
Everyone went and changed into their swimsuits and headed out to the beach. Everyone but Bella and Charlotte went into the water.
"So Bella, you and my brother are mates." Charlotte grinned
"Yeah we are and he's great." Bella smiled
Yeah he is and he is a great guy Bella. When me and Peter escaped that day, Jasper could've come and chased us but he didn't. That's because he thought of all three of us as family. I can never thank him enough for that." Charlotte smiled
"I heard what he did and I'm glad he did Char. Why didn't Jazz leave with you guys though?" she asked curious
"I think he knew if he left along with us Maria wouldn't stop hunting us until she caught and killed us. He chose not to leave so we could escape. Once we left I knew he would be worried about Ricky, but I knew Ricky was escaping also. We always planned on coming back for him and eventually we were able to. He didn't love that life anymore and when we were gone I knew he would be more miserable since we weren't there. When we finally got him away from her, he was better but didn't hunt much since the people we hunted their emotions were starting to make him depressed. When he went off by himself we all missed him but knew he needed sometime alone. Peter assured us he would be fine and someone was meeting him to lead him to a different life. Jasper called us a while after he found the Cullen's and told us about everything and we couldn't be happier for him. When we visited and he taught Ricky to hunt animals instead Ricky became a lot happier. Ricky was like Jasper and didn't enjoy hunting humans and took to animals good. I couldn't be happier he finally found his mate, even if she isn't a vampire. When we talked a few months ago, he told us about the wolves and we have wanted to visit. We have wanted to move north for a few years." Charlotte smiled
"That's good Char that Jasper helped Ricky. Leah has been sad since the twins found a mate and she hadn't yet. She has just began liking the fact they are allowed on the rez and I think from what everyone has told me about Ricky, they are the perfect match." She was happy
"Yes they are Bella." They looked over at Leah and Ricky walking over holding hands
Leah sat down by them and Ricky went to everyone else swimming.
"So why have you guys wanted to move north for few years Char?" Bella asked curious
"We wanna be able to go out during daytime and have wanted to live closer to Jasper. Especially now that he has you. Now that Ricky has you Leah, we are gonna move up here." They all grinned
"That's good and I really like him already. He reminds me a lot of Jasper." Leah smiled and watched Ricky splash around the lake
"He is a lot like Jasper. You two make a great match Leah." Bella and Charlotte nodded
"So Ricky told me a secret you haven't told anyone yet and no one's noticed." Leah smirked at Charlotte
"What I don't know what you mean Leah?" charlotte grinned
"That he has convinced you to hunt animals now." Bella smiled as Leah said that
"Yeah he has and we have been for few years and haven't slipped since we started. It happened since the last time we visited five years ago. We wanted to see why he liked it and choose to stay with it. It was easier than we thought it would be." Charlotte said happy
"That's great Char. That's why your eyes seem gold." Bella said
"Yeah, we're kind of hungry that's why they're not so gold but we're fine." Charlotte said
"Did you know when you went missing on the 4th of July he called us and asked Peters help. Peter was the one that told him to call Tanya and he needed to check in Alaska. We told Jasper we would come visit soon since we wanted to meet the girl who tamed Major." They giggled "Have you met the Major yet Bella?"
"Yeah I have and he is great. Nothing like the stories. Yesterday was the only time I've seen him mad and he was mad because I teased him and didn't know he was asking since he was worried." She told charlotte what happened
"I see and sometimes Major has his moody days but I'm glad he can be playful as well. Whenever I seen major he was never pleasant to see, I am happy he isn't always that way and that he likes you. That shirt you got him seems to fit him well. I'll have to get Peter one as well." They all giggled
"I heard that Char and you are not getting me one those. If you do I won't wear it." Peter yelled
"I will and you will wear it if you ever want to have your favorite time anytime soon." Charlotte yelled back and everyone but Peter laughed and giggled
Charlotte, Leah and Bella sat around talking and getting to know each other. They joined everyone in the lake after a bit and played around.
The rest of the trip they had fun. They took turns hunting and everyone was happy to hear peter and charlotte hunting animals as well. Ricky and Leah became inseparable as much as Bella and Jasper. They had fun getting to know everyone and had a lot fun. They went back home on Sunday night with a week left before school started. Peter, Charlotte and Ricky were staying with the Cullen's until they found a place.
