Not Mine!
Recap:
I took a step down the line to Carlisle and Sam, "Your turn."
Slowly, they obeyed. Esme and Leah followed suit, and Emmett and Quil also shook hands easily enough. Paul was glaring daggers at Jasper, and I sighed softly,
"Honestly, guys come on. Aren't you too old to hold a grudge?"
Jasper began smoothly, and there was complete silence from Paul. I waited with baited breath, but shook my head at Jasper when a feeling of calm rushed over me. Paul was shaking slightly, Edward was poised to yank me away, Jake was ready to pull Paul back to protect me, but very slowly Paul reached up his hand and forced his lips into, "Nice to meet you Jasper I'm Paul." It was all said very quickly, but I was satisfied. Rosalie was slightly hesitant, but she didn't pause for long, for which I was extremely grateful. If I had to wait any longer to get to Edward and Jacob I would die.
The two of them were poised for attack, and I sighed softly.
"Guys, please. I can't bear it if my boyfriend and best friend won't talk to each other. I'd rather die." I reached for Jacob's hand, earning a slight frown from Edward. I then picked up Edward's hand with my free hand and held them close to one another.
"Go on," I whispered softly.
Jake bit his lip, then finally managed, "I'm Jake."
"Edward," he replied sharply.
"Nice to meet you Edward," Jake said, and I let go of their hands as they began to shake.
"Nice to meet you Jake," Edward's voice was as beautiful as ever, though his reply was still forced. I sighed gratefully.
"No more treaty, no more name calling, no more, 'you can't go see him or her'. And," I added suddenly, "Don't use the 'no more treaty lines' to attack anyone. Please?"
Alice's musical laugh filled the clearing, and soon everyone caught on. I had been being serious, but if they were all enjoying themselves – together, I wasn't really up to complaining.
