Jasper's POV
I couldn't believe it was really real, if vampires could sleep I would have sworn that I was dreaming but we couldn't dream and she was right there in front of me… my beautiful daughter… the spitting image of my beautiful wife.
Esme had heard everything and had cautiously come upstairs to take my daughter downstairs so we could work on Alice, it saddened me to see her leave in her grandmother's arms but I needed Alice at this time! I heard the sickening sound of her choking but before I could get there Carlisle had Alice's head in his hands, propping her up so she could breathe properly.
"Carlisle, What do we do?! She's still dying!" I practically screamed at him as her breathing slipped, her heart was faltering. She was dying and I couldn't survive without her!
"Son you have to trust me on this part, I want you to bite her, in everyplace you can, as fast as you can. Trust me Jasper; it's the only way to save her."
"What! No! I can't Carlisle! I'm not strong enough! I'm not even breathing; this proves I can't do it!" I gasped, "Please, Carlisle, I'll kill her! I can't!"
"Jasper you can do this! If Carlisle didn't believe you could do this would he ask you? No he wouldn't, Jazz you think yourself as a monster but you're anything but! Can't you see how well your self control is doing? We believe in you, it's the only way." Edward explained.
"But what if I slipped? I could never live with myself if I did! How could I ever explain that to our daughter if I killed Alice! I just couldn't do that Edward!"
"Son we believe in you, you would never let that happen to Alice, you love her too much. We believe in you," Carlisle smiled.
I nodded stiffly before Edward handed me a small syringe, I stuck it gently in my mouth, extracting some of the venom that had collected there. I breathed deeply before plunging it deeply into her heart and pushing down on the lever. I heard the jolt of her heart before Edward placed his hands over the place where her heart rested, they moved quickly in an synchronized movement, eager to keep her heart beating, pumping the venom around her blood stream.
"Jazz, do it now, bite her in as many places as you can. Her wrists, neck, ankles, anywhere you can think of but you need to do it quickly but controlled. I'll keep her heart beating, just hurry, and remember, you can do this."
I smiled weakly before placing my mouth to the inside of her closest wrist, kissing it lovingly I plunged my teeth into the soft flesh where her veins rested. As soon as they penetrated the venom came into contact with the sweet, delicious taste of her remaining blood. I felt my back lock up as it hit me like a tonne of bricks, the scent practically pulling me closer and closer. Before I could do any real damage I remembered who I was and retracted my teeth out of her flesh, kissing the open wound in order to stop any blood or venom from leaving her body.
"That's it Jazz, we told you, you're doing so well! A few more times and it will all be over," Edward smiled, a hint of life twinkling in his solid, golden eyes.
I nodded before repeating the same process over and over again, her neck, and her ankles, everywhere I could get my teeth into. I concentrated on the fast thrumming of her heart to keep my self control. This was the toughest thing I had ever done in my entire life, harder than fighting newborns and everything.
As soon as I had done everything I could to help Alice I was instructed by Carlisle to go and look after my daughter, I agreed after giving Alice's hand a loving squeeze and kissing her sweetly on her blood stained lips. She lay motionless and peaceful as the venom transformed her body. With a parting glance I walked down the stairs to where Esme was with my daughter, cooing sweetly as she rocked her slowly.
"Look darling, it's your daddy," Esme cooed as she handed her over to me, I gratefully took her and gazed in wonder at her beauty, how could a monster like me deserve such a beauty like her? "so what are you going to call her?" Esme inquired as her small hand reached through the blankets to grasp my nose.
I smiled as I thought about a suitable name for my beautiful angel, a squeal from Bella interrupted my thoughts as she, Nessie, Rosalie, Emmett and Jacob burst through the front door and surrounded us, they were practically glowing with excitement as they Awed at her beauty and cuteness.
"Aww Uncle Jasper she's so cute! What's her name?" Nessie asked, peering through the blankets.
"Well I've called her Serena because it's a beautiful name for my beautiful little girl." I smiled, kissing Serena's forehead as peals of laughter escaped from her tiny mouth.
