Author's note: Bella survive a lot in the two years she knew Edward. I wanted someone to point that out to Edward and Jasper seemed to be the logically choice because he looks at the big picture and he would see the pattern. This is the end, I couldn't see any more whys and I wanted to end on an upbeat note, so to speak.

Thank-you Stephanie for letting us play with your creation, Thank-you God for being my Creator and thank-you for ignoring my mistakes.

Chapter 8: Edward to Jasper

"Why?"

"Why what?" Jasper asked Edward as he turned back from going upstairs to get ready to hunt. Although he didn't need them he wanted to put on his boots. Edward walked over to him and inclined against the stair railing to talk to Jasper quietly.

"I don't know." He gave his brother a puzzled look. "Your mood seems to be lighter."

"Yea, I'm in a better mood."

"Because you're going hunting?"

"No, that's not it. – I've been thinking. – I think Bella's right."

"What?" Edward asked confused. "About what?"

"She is going to make it." Jasper stated firmly.

"Why do you believe that?"

"Look at what she has already survived." He began. "Meeting you while you were thirsty and her being your singer."

"Yea, but look at what she had to undergo after meeting me – James, Victoria, and the Volturi."

"She survived those as well. And had to endure the greatest love of her life – her words by the way not mine." Jasper countered. "How about what she wouldn't have survived if you hadn't loved her, Tyler's van and those pigs in Port Angela."

"O.K. yeah." Edward agreed.

"Then there's – Me …"

"Hey!" Edward tried to interrupt but Jasper kept going.

"Rosalie, Emmett, Alice's parties, encountering Jane – twice, newborn army, you leaving her, werewolves – newbies, at that, jumping off a cliff during a hurricane, a snow storm in June, sleeping with Jacob, and wait for it – Alice planning her wedding!"

Edward smiled, a real smile not one of those he been showing lately but a real smile, it only lasted a second but it was full, and went all the way to his eyes. "You really think she's going to make it?"

"Yes, I do." Jasper answered honestly. "There is something about Bella – she may be a danger magnet but somehow she survives all that happens to her."

"Like there a bubble of protection around her?" Edward suggested.

"Yea," Jasper agreed. "But you know what. She extents the bubble to surround those she loves." Edward look towards him asking why he thought that. Jasper took a deep breath. "We all should not have survived the battle, Edward. I was sure we would lose one of the youngest wolves or our mot…" broke off not able to finish.

"You really…" Edward broke off too, shocked.

"Yes." Jasper could not meet his eyes before taking a deep breath to calm himself down.

"You never said…"

"Of course not! It would just worried everyone." Jasper said nothing more but Edward saw how Jasper had planned to watch out for everyone especially his wife and mother. Edward shook his head. How like Jasper to spread himself too thin to protect those he loves without saying a thing. Maybe Bella really did have a bubble of protection for them.

"You know, I once thought that maybe Bella had a guardian angel watching over her. Cause she needed one in her life if she was going to become involve with me. So maybe she does."

"Maybe." Jasper agreed. "But maybe you're each other's angel. To protect, love each other, be with the other, to be each other's…" Jasper looked over at Alice while Edward glazed at Bella.

"Soul mates." They said together.

Ending note: So that it, that's all. I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them, it was fun! So if you would, could you tell me your favorite one? Mine? I liked chapter 5: 4 Ladies to Jacob, but I also liked Chapter 2: Emmett to Rosalie, but then again maybe Chapter 6: Bella to Alice, but I like this one too, but maybe…
