As I claimed my rightful place aside of Alice, I was rewarded with a scolding. She had since returned her attention towards the lecture, but I couldn't draw mine away from her.

She had said she was overwhelmed by this experience, yet nothing in her emotions or reactions had given that away. I studied her now. I needed to be back in tune with her in every way. It would not suffice to be ignorant of her discomforts, especially now.

Every turn of the lecture elicited a diverse emotion in her. It was obvious she was paying attention. In that moment, I had sensed a shift within her.

She had become aware of my presence yet again, as told by her startle. Moments later I was experiencing an entirely separate emotion…one I was out of practice with experiencing…yearning.

I was caught off guard as told be the necessary readjusting within my seat. My back stiffened as I gripped the attached desk. I felt the material give way under my fingers accompanied by a loud crack of the wood.

Curious gazes turned in my direction, but quickly dismissed out of disinterest. Except for hers. When she turned to me, I could see her hazel eyes aglow, a brilliant gold. The color was intense, far so that of a humans.

She tilted her head in curiosity, but I was frozen. I awaited the subsiding of her emotions, but it never came. The lust that was emanating from her intensified as a smirk grew on her face. Was she?

"Alice…" I quavered.

"Yes Mr. Hale?" she purred.

I groaned. "Alice Darlin'. Please."

"Could you ever forgive me for wanting to repay a favor of torture…Darlin'?" she mocked in a forced southern accent.

I shook my head in disbelief. "Alright Miss Alice…We can do this your way." I drawled in a significantly thicker accent than normally acceptable.

It was then that I acted, without a choice; so as not to notify her through vision. I mirrored her emotions back to her with a slight magnification at first, but then began incrementally increasing it.

It was now that she was the one gripping the desk with a blank look on her face. I was unaware of the newfound limits to her human form. By her actions of excusing herself to the bathroom, I would assume I had gone too far.

I waited an indeterminate amount of time before also excusing myself. I knocked on the door to the single bathroom, "Alice, my apologies Darlin'. I traversed a threshold, and for that I am sorry." Just then the door opened, and her petite hand emerged, latched onto the front of my shirt, and pulled me into the space.

I allowed the actions and was thrust "hard" against the wall. Alice's once gold eyes were a deep hunter green. She stood before me, arms tightly folded across her chest. She looked me up and down before releasing them. I reached out and gently smoothed her long bangs out of her face, and behind her ear.

"That wasn't fair…" she pouted.

"While I do apologize Darlin', you were the one of whom started it." I laughed voice still heavy with my drawl.

"Yeah…" she murmured. "I sorta' forgot about the other half of your abilities in my plotting."

"Are you alright?" I queried.

"Well…yeah, but also no." she admitted sheepishly. "What are we doing Jasper?"

"Doing how Darlin'?"

"Why are we fooling ourselves? We know that this is impossible and couldn't possibly end any other way." It was then that I had garnered an incline of which she was referring to.

I tilted my head in curiosity. "You don't know do ya'?"

"Know what?" she whispered.

"About Renesmee?"

"I know that Renesmee is Bella's sister, and Bella is mated to Edward?"

I lowered my head in a single laugh. "I guess I would expect this sort of worry to come from you if you weren't aware. I thought you knew already."

"Knew what Jasper?"

"Renesmee is not Bella's sister Alice. Renesmee is the daughter of Edward and Bella."

"Oh, so they had her before they were changed?"

"No… Renesmee was conceived while Bella was human, yes. However, Edward was not." I issued.

"What?" she gasped. "How is that…you mean?"

I nodded. "It's not entirely odd for humans and vampires to fall in love Alice. And it's not an impossible circumstance. Difficult yes; however, not impossible. Aside from that fact, you are not wholly human. That I am sure of."

She sank to the floor, her head falling in her hands sobbing.

I sat on the floor across from her and pulled her shaking form into my lap. "Shhhh." I calmed.

"I thought I would have to say goodbye to you forever." She breathed in between cries.

"Alice, I could never survive that even if it were true." I pressed her head at the base of my neck, gently kissing her crown. "I am unreservedly too selfish of a creature to allow for that."

"So much for a human day." She sniffled into my collar.

"How about this, how about we skip the remained of our classes, and I give you that human day?" I suggested with an upwards inflection.

She pulled back ever so slightly to look into my eyes. Tears welling in her eyes, she nodded her head soundlessly and returned it to the crook of my neck.

"Just a few more minutes until class is over, then we can go." She nuzzled firmly into my collarbone.

"So much for the class getting to know their PLA. A shame, there were quite a few young ladies very much looking forward to that possible fantasy." I issued in jest tsking with my tongue all the while.

Her face pulled away gently to deliver a deadly glare that could have even made Emmett cower. I laughed and brought her head back to my chest with a laugh.

"I suppose it is a good thing that this man has been spoken for for nearly a century." I soothed.
