Jasper

"Okay, Alice. Let's get this over with. But before you say anything, know that I will tell Bella about this conversation, don't disrespect her nor me."

"Jazzy, please don't forget about all our years together, don't be mean."

"STOP. RIGHT. THERE. You don't have the right to call me Jazzy. You're already starting off with your foot in your mouth. You fucking threw away 'all our years together' when you decided to fuck Edward" I sneer in disgust and contempt.

"This whole conversation is mean spirited because you think you can get me back by talking in circles. Well then suck it up because the truth fucking hurts doesn't it."

I feel a wave of determination and possessiveness roll from Alice and I smirk inwardly already knowing where this conversation is going.

"Jasper I was wrong to have an affair with Edward, wrong to keep it from you, wrong to act like it was nothing, it was just a little fling to remind me of what I have in you. I realized that right after you left."

"Did you just hear what you said, Alice? It was just a fling to remind me of what I have in you. I was right there for 100 years, you really didn't need anything to remind you of me."

"I'm sorry for the way I hurt you and the affair meant nothing to me."

I look at Alice for a moment in complete shock before asking, "How long?"

"How long what?" she asks feigning innocence and stupidity.

"HOW LONG WERE YOU HAVING AN AFFAIR ALICE?"

"HOW LONG DID YOU AND THIS FU-FAMILY KEEP ME IN THE DARK?" I seethe trying to maintain my temper.

Alice looks at me silently in fear and regret before lowering her head in shame.

I smile evilly and shake my head laughing darkly, "You really expect me to forgive you, Edward and this family for the damage you did to me?"

"You really expect me to forget about being thrown out of this family because I slipped in my anger, that you fucking caused by screwing around with Edward behind my back."

I turn and walk away before she can say anything else leaving her with, "You know I don't know what's worse; your fucked up excuse of an apology or the fact that you really TRULY don't feel any remorse for your actions."

I shake my head in utter disgust, "I don't have time for you Alice and I don't want you back, EVER."

I retreat upstairs to lay down with Abby until Bella and the kids return from the diner, proud of myself for keeping my temper and not ripping Alice a new one, at least for now.

Just as Abby starts to stir I realize that Carlisle has not mentioned anything about the reason he called me here, everything's been about resolving family issues.

There better be a real reason for calling me here and not this screwed up attempt to get me back with the family or they will be sorry.

Just then Peter appears in the doorway, "Don't worry Jasper the call home was real enough but you didn't think they would give up the opportunity to bring you back to the fold, now did you?"

Before I can reply Abby reaches up tugging on my shirt as her stomach starts growling, "Hungry sweetie, let's go get you something to eat then."

"We'll talk later" I say to Peter quietly before walking downstairs to feed Abby. As I am sitting at the table feeding Abby I come to realize that I will have confrontations with each family member before my time here is over.

However I know with Bella and the children by my side that I can and will conquer whatever they happen to throw at me.

I sense Rose and Esme hovering at the dining room door watching me silently as I feed Abby; I feel the severe longing, and jealousy from Rose, at wanting to be the ones feeding and spending time with Abby.

By the time I feel determination course through Rose to come in and ask something of me about Abby I sense Bella and the twins coming in the house.

I smirk as I feel the lust and anticipation pouring out of her and I am once again struck senseless by the intoxicating aroma of freesias, honey and strawberries.

I quickly clean up Abby's mess and turn to see Rose standing at the table gazing longingly at Abby while Esme hovers behind her. I watch Abby gaze at Rose intently before turning to look at me as I grimace in irritation before ignoring Rose to pick up Abby and head towards the living room.

Just as Bella enters the front door talking with the twins I sense the family coming into the house from the back doors as I hand Abby to Charlotte chuckling as Charlotte looks smugly at Esme, Rose and Alice before crooning softly to Abby.

The next minute I am standing in front of Bella wrapping an arm around her waist and the other around her shoulders sinking my fist in her hair. I feel her suck in a breathe as pull her close tilting her head to the side as I run my nose from her shoulder to her ear inhaling her scent.

I feel her shudder in pleasure and pant as her hands tighten around my shoulders chuckling when her knees buckle as lust and desire course through her flooding both our senses.

I chuckle some more whispering, "I have a promise to keep."

Bella POV

"Bella" Rose begins as Bella lifts her head to gaze at her, "how about Esme and I watch…"

Before she can reply Peter replies, "Bella Charlotte and I will watch the kiddies back at the hotel" as he rubs his hands together grinning madly.

"But we would love to get to know them Bella" Esme offers.

"NO, that won't be necessary as you can see Esme. Plus I don't think I'm ready for any of the Cullens to spend time alone with our children. That's something that needs to be earned and so far none of you have shown any trustworthiness yet."

"What have we shown then Bella?" asks Edward snidely from the side door as he gazes at Bella with dark eyes.

"Hmm, let's see – jealousy, anger, contempt, aggression, lack of faith, distaste, hunger and disbelief– need I go on?" I ask as each of the Cullens look down in shame.

"I didn't think so and on top of that, since I'm being honest here and everything. I really don't like your family much, I mean besides treating Jasper like shit. The only reason you want to watch the children is to get back on Jasper's good side and I refuse to let my children be used as pawns."

"Damn Mama Whitlock" Peter snickers as Jasper crouches in front of me and three things happen at once –

Edward lunges at me again

The twins come in the front door

Abby starts crying in Charlotte's arms.

Jasper unleashes a might roar as he rushes at Edward pinning him to the floor as Peter rushes to stand in front of the twins who are looking fearfully at the Cullens, while Charlotte moves over to stand next to the twins.

Carlisle walks over to Jasper and places a hand on his shoulder which he roughly shakes off before picking up Edward by the throat and tossing him at Emmett.

I shake my head in disgust before walking over to Charlotte while speaking to the twins, "Sophie and Trevor, get in the car, we're going back to the hotel."

I take Abby from Charlotte as Esme steps forward protesting, "But I thought you guys would stay at the cottage."

"Really and what about this situation speaks safety for my children?" I ask sneering in disgust as Jasper walks towards me ignoring Carlisle and Esme calling him as he took my hand and we walked out the door.
