A/N Hi guys, don't kill me?
I haven't updated in ages I know, I'm sorry.
I've been going through heavy exam periods!
Sorry again.

Now Onto the story.

I always loved to hunt, from the moment I started. I knew I preferred big cats of some sort – but my favourite was leopard. Jasper said it was how I moved, so lithe and quick. My newborn blood was wearing down, but I was still fast. I knew I'd have that for centuries. I always thought about things like that when I was hunting. I would be doing this for CENTURIES, with JASPER.
At that thought I looked up from my half drained wolf and gazed at Jasper, who was finishing a bear of some sort. Love weld up inside of me, He was MINE. How contrary, I loved him more than words – more than everything in this life; I would never be without him. He looked up at me and winked, sending the same emotions from him back to me. I giggled.

So many nights we spent together, with his head in my lap whilst I played a new instrument. Or me sitting on the floor next to him as he painted like Picasso. He even used the paint palette. It was comical. He was like a moon on my blackest night, which lit everything up – made me focus on everything amazing.

I finished up my wolf, and pranced over to Jasper. He laughed and scooped me up bridal style, running to the general direction of the house.
I Looked into his eyes and had an idea,

I sang, in an over dramatic voice.

I'd swim the ocean for you
The Ocean for you
Whoa, oh Jazzziieeeeeeee
and I'd swim the ocean for you
swim the ocean for you
Whoa, oh Jazzziieeee
Yeah.

Jasper just laughed and shook his head. Kissing my softly, then running into the house.
It was all silent as we walked in, which was strange. The house was usually so energetic and loud. I looked around and saw the evidence.

She was seated at the far end off the living room, everyone else was scattered throughout, but not quite close to her. She looked up at me, with startling knowing eyes. Alice was back, the real Alice. My sister.

I jumped from Jaspers arms and flew to her, lifting her up and engulfing her into my granite skin.

"Oh Alice, aliceee. How I've missed you."

I kissed her cheek, and let her go. Leading her to the couch and sitting her down. I walked to the other couch with Jasper and sat on his lap, leaning into the arm rest of the couch.

Alice looked at me deep in the eyes, then to Jaspers. I felt Jasper flinch and hold onto me tighter. Edward moved closer to Alice and watched her closely. Something must have crossed her mind, unpleasantly.

Alice shuddered, and then looked at me blankly. She kept closing her eyes, and shaking her head. Then looking back at me and shuddering again. I was perplexed; she looked like she was having a seizure. She looked at me, and whispered, so softly, a human wouldn't have heard it.

"Bella, you have no future. I'm trying to look, but it's like I've gone insane again."

Jasper stiffened, Rosalie gasped, Emmett's face lost its grin, Carlisle looked like his puppy just got run over by a truck, Esme looked like she was about to cry and Edward kept a stony expression.

I got hit by a thousand questions at once.

"Is your shield on, is that why she can't see? She could still see a little bit if you weren't concentrating before…"

"Are you trying to block her? Bella please tell us you don't know anything about this."

"Alice, are you sure you're looking in the right places?"

"Are you feeling alright Bella?"

Then there was Jasper, Looking deep into my eyes with conviction. He knew nothing was going to happen to me, he wouldn't let it.

I sat up on his lap calmly and removed my shield all the way. Edward could then read my thoughts, that was true, but he was in no danger of finding out what he couldn't hear – I still controlled what he heard. Alice's eyes went blank for a minute, we all watched her curiously.

She had a hint of a smile on her lips, but it wasn't like she was happy – More that she now understood.

"The Volturi are coming, but they haven't decided why they want to be here, they just want to visit. Aro sees you as his daughter now Bella and news got to him that you were hurt. He wants to make sure you are ok. He is bringing his wife," At this Carlisle gasped, but Alice ignored it. "She wants to meet you. Caius is trying to get him to change his mind, but it won't work." She took a deep breath. "He will interrogate both Edward and I at what happened, he also wants to check if we are mentally stable enough to continue living." She laughed then. "Although this is further than I can predict will happen, He will leave happily, and won't find a conviction needed, since both Edward and I are fine. He will ask you to join his Coven, and then your future takes two paths," She took another breath and smiled. "Which you have just chosen to stay here, no thought needed of course. He will ask you to come visit every once and a while, and will leave a large house on the border of Volterra for you and family." The family stood in a stunned silence.

"Alice you never used to be able to look so deep into the future before." I murmured, smiling at my sister.

She laughed. "Bella, being away and in pain, then losing you as a sister and my family as well; going through all that strengthened me as a person. I then had the choice to Man Up or to be little Alice again. It was a wakeup call that made me older as a person and in turn, a vampire." She grinned and I grinned back. I may not have forgiven her for what happened, but I was in dept to her for how it resulted. I could never be this happy with Edward.

I covered up my thoughts and shielded, but not hard enough to stop Alice all together.

Carlisle spoke then, "But the wives, the Volturi never ever bring their wives out of the Castle, it's too risky."

Alice just shrugged. There was no explanation for Aro's moods.

Jasper took my arm, like the southern gentleman he is.
"May we retire to the bedroom ma'am?" He whispered, humor circling his eyes.

"Why, Kind sir, are you hitting on me?" I asked in mock authority.

He bowed his head, and pretended to look ashamed. "I dare say I am."

I laughed and kissed him on the lips, which caused him to scoop my legs from under me and run me bridal style up into the bedroom.

He lay me down softly on the makeshift bed we had newly brought into our room. Everything was redecorated to our tastes and with our things. This was Denali after all, how could they bring so much here?

He cuddled into my side and inhaled my scent. We looked deep into each other's eyes, and I knew all he felt was peace. It radiated off him, he was so full of joy. I kissed him softly for a moment, relishing in the time that we had alone – so rare these days.

"I still haven't taken you to all the places I want to, but mostly I want you to meet Benjamin. He is in the Egyptian coven."

Jasper stared into my eyes, and looked hopeful.

"Why is Benjamin so important to meet?" I asked, curiosity killed the cat.

"He has an amazing power, he can control the elements. I'd love you to meet him. His mate is also a wonderful woman, although she doesn't have any distinct powers."

I smiled. "I will meet them as soon as we can."

"I was hoping that they could come visit us after the Volturi?"

"Sure." I whispered, kissing him again.

So, The Volturi – me as a daughter and a new home owner, The Egyptians – Controlling the elements and maybe a new friend? Alice and Edward? – That made me think.

"Where are Alice and Edward?" We both used our senses to search the house; I used my shield as well since I would be able to sense them more clearly with that life force.

They were located in the Den of the house, obviously celebrating Alice's arrival back to the house. I shuddered. I got used to Rosalie and Emmett, Hell I even got used to Carlisle and Esme! But this is just one think that would give me nightmares.

Jasper laughed at my new disgusted emotions. He sent me a wave of calm and kissed me on the cheek.

"Think about it Bella, You could have been that girl. Think small and soft..." He chuckled.

… What.

"Oooohhhhhhh" I gasped, finally catching on.

I slapped him on the arm, "Yuck Jazz."

He laughed and kissed me on the forehead, drawing me closer into his arms.

Rosalie and Emmett then decided to come into the room in a heated Embrace.

You know, I've finally decided that they must just revolve around this kind of shinatikins!

"ROSE, EM! BACK OUT OF MY ROOM, DO NOT COME BACK IN UNTIL YOU HAVE EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING THAT YOU BEGAN WITH TODAY ON, AND YOUR ATTIRE STRAIGHTENED OUT! I WILL NOT HAVE THESE IMAGES IN MY HEAD AND YOU WILL RESPECT THAT THERE IS JUST SOME OF YOU BOTH THAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE!"

Everyone paused for a moment, then burst into a rain of laughter. Rosalie and Emmett did what I asked, then came back in.

'Sheeesshhh Bella, Don't you want to see the junk in my trunk." Emmett said, in a mock hurt voice.

I was so close to hitting him, but Jasper did it for me.

Everything was all quiet as I seethed, then Emmett fell to the floor in the closest thing a vampire could be to crying.

"IIIII… I'm soo sorry Bella, it's justtt that I just want eeeeeveryone to get along and be s, sss, ssooo in love just like You and Jazzie are. I love you all so much!" He grouped us all together into a bear hug and sobbed. "I just want this family to be like cakes, and rainbows and joy, and happiness and joyness!"

We all just stood there in disbelief, I knew what Jasper was about to do, but…

Emmett took one look at the situation, and dropped us all to the floor. We all began to crack into a pool of musical laughter.

We lay there, laughing and chatting – just like a real family.

Esme and Carlisle eventually came in to see what this was all about, and saw us on the floor in hysterics. They both shined with happiness – We knew it was good to see their family together again.

Although, there was no Alice or Edward in our family. I noticed at that point that they will never really be as strong as a point in the Cullens as they used to. Seen, loved, but not joined with us.

That upset me a bit, but it wasn't my fault. I realized that I had stopped blaming myself for what Edward did. I was perfect, even if I wasn't inhumanly beautiful; and now I was. I was happy, and I did have personality. I saw this when I looked into Jaspers eyes; in the way he moved when he was around me. He always came to my side.

He loved me.

He always would.

I loved him.

I always would.

I sighed, finally finishing my laughter, I was the first.
I looked around the room to all my family laughing.
I didn't have to be Jasper to feel the emotions coming from everyone.

I was worth it,

I was needed,

I was VITAL.

Finally.

(a/n) Well? Think about it guys, it takes me a long time to finish a chapter. And about 5 seconds to post a review. Last time I didn't get that many, yet I tried so hard to finish in time. I would appreciate the reviews, they mean a lot.
