Alice P.O.V.
"Are you alright Alice?" Jasper took my hands and pulled me to him. I then realised that I was shaking with fear. I had been so close to a life like that.
"Yes, I'm fine," I said, trying to make myself believe it.
"No you're not," Jasper said as he pulled me closer.
"Then why'd you ask?" I muttered. We sat together watching the sun rise high above our heads.
"We should be getting back," Jasper suggested as he picked me up from the ground, all the way back to the house he never let go of my hand. I felt safe as he held me, my life was good for once.
"Jasper! Alice! Where have you guys been?" Esme exclaimed as she rushed out of the house to greet us.
"Hi Esme," Jasper replied politely still while holding my hand.
"Oh," Esme said stepping back and taking in the whole picture. "Oh," she said again, seeming slightly flustered. She smiled and ran into the house and I heard her talking quickly to Carlisle.
"Hello," Carlisle said coming outside. Soon we were joined by all of the Cullen's.
"What did you guys get up to?" Emmett said cheekily as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"Emmett," Jasper growled in warning.
"Well, something seems to have happened," Emmett said.
I stepped behind Jasper, feeling very self-conscious and slightly embarrassed.
"It's ok, never mind Emmett," Jasper whispered.
"So you two together or what?" Rosalie said, joining in her husbands taunting.
"Umm..." Jasper started flustered. I knew that if I were still human then my cheeks would have been a bright red.
"We, all of us, have to go hunting. Don't we guys?" Esme said and was met with a chorus of 'sure'.
"Bye guys," Carlisle said as he and his family left, leaving Jasper and I standing alone in the front yard.
"Let's go inside," Jasper suggested.
Jasper P.O.V.
"Let's go inside," I suggested as the rest of my family scattered off on a 'hunting' trip.
"Ok," Alice said calmly, I wasn't expecting that. We entered the house and sat on the loveseat together.
"So…" I started, not really knowing what to say.
"Yeah, so…" Alice was starting to feel awkward, and I guess I was too.
"Are we, you know? A couple?" It was the only question I could come up with.
"I don't know. Are we?" Alice's soprano voice was clear and she sounded like a little kid.
"If you want," I turned to face Alice and we stared at each other for a few moments before she turned away. "I really like you Alice, even though we've just met," I grabbed both of her hands and played with her fingers.
"I like you too Jasper, a lot more than I probably should," Alice confessed.
"Vampires only get one mate, I think you're mine," I said quietly. "I hope you're mine," I muttered and heard Alice's laugh, sounding every bit like wind chimes.
"I hope you're mine too," she said as she turned my head to face hers, she smiled, her teeth glistening in the moonlight that now drifted in through the windows.
"How is it night already?" I asked standing up alarmed, how had so much time passed?
"I guess it is," Alice said, clearly as confused as I was. "Jasper," she breathed as she came over to me.
"Alice," I breathed in reply as I pulled her flush against me. "I hope it's not to soon, but I really do love you."
"It's ok, I already love you too," Alice said, and I could hear the smile in her voice. She tilted her head up and we stared at each other again. We both started leaning in, and soon our lips met. We were working in synchronisation, in perfect harmony. Right at that moment, when I knew Alice was finally mine, the world seemed perfect.
"Wow break it up dudes," Emmett's booming voice pierced through the still night. I sighed as I took Alice's hand and sat on the loveseat again. I pulled her into my lap, and she fitted perfectly, like a missing puzzle piece.
"Why do you have to ruin everything Emmett?" I asked.
"It's just a talent of mine," Emmett said while striking a pose.
"Idiot," I muttered in Alice's ear. I was rewarded with another clear laugh.
"I see you guys umm, like each other," Esme said, trying to discuss it but was failing miserably as she tried to hold back her own laugh.
"Nice to know you're so amused at the fact your own son finally found someone," I said sarcastically.
"Oh honey, I didn't mean to upset you," Esme said, her mothering instincts kicking in.
"It's ok," I said as she hugged me.
"Your welcome to stay here longer if you want," Esme said with a mischievous smile.
"Esme, you're as bad as Emmett," I groaned.
"That's not very nice Jasper," Carlisle said stepping forward, "No one can be worse than Emmett." We all laughed, apart from Emmett who sat there puzzled as to what we meant.
"Come on Alice," I grabbed Alice and we left the house behind us.
"What was that about?" Alice asked as we entered the clearing where we first met, when she was with the Volturi.
"My family likes to tease each other, but at the moment they all seem to be focusing on me."
"Oh," Alice said smiling.
"Not funny," I growled as I lunged at her. We fell to the ground, surely leaving marks. Alice squealed when I wouldn't let her up.
"Jasper! Let me go!" She tried unsuccessfully to get up.
"You want to be mean, you pay the price," I snarled in her ear. I felt her shudder beneath my body. I held her even closer. Eventually she stopped trying to get away and relaxed in my arms, I pulled her into my lap again and we stared at each other.
"I really do love you Miss Alice," I said smiling as I used my southern accent.
"As I love you," Alice said, her eyes twinkling.
