Turn the Page a series of drabbles about Jasper and Leah. I do not own the Twilight Saga.
Gravity
Esme found it odd, when Alice and Jasper first arrived, that Jasper orbited around Alice, like a moon around a planet. She loved them immediately, as mothers tend to do, and made then easily welcome among the established family.
Rosalie and Alice became fast friends, although it took Jasper more time to get used to the family and their diet, he indeed found brothers in Edward and Emmett, a fair and caring father in Carlisle, a loving sister in Rosalie, and a doting mother in Esme. Everyone loved Alice, how could you not?
But even after being accepted wholeheartedly into the Cullen family, Jasper still didn't look completely at ease, relying heavily on Alice.
It was a lot of giving when Esme watches Jasper with Alice. And when she left him, left them all behind, he looked completely lost, and it broke Esme's heart.
But something changed in the dynamics between the pack and the family. And suddenly Leah was around just as much as Seth and Jacob, and Esme immediately noticed the change in Jasper. He was no longer a figure caught in the orbit around the small pixie - he transformed into a being who orbited - and was orbited by - the tall female shifter. Their energies were magnetic towards each other, and Esme was secretly pleased at her adopted son's ability to make the "bitter harpy" happy, mostly because Leah made him happy. And Esme thought that give and take looked good on them.
