"Bella" motioning for her to stand and come to him, her eyes widened a little nervous of what he was about to do. "Don't be scared. Trust me."
Emmett laughed watching her carefully. She just wanted to remain sitting in his lap, but now Jasper had her standing up in front of everyone for some reason. Bella eyes cut over at the family seeing her hot man Emmett then Alice giggled, Rosalie sat on the couch quietly with smile taking Edward's hand in hers, Carlisle had moved over putting a arm around his wife Esme who was smiling behind the couch were Emmett was sitting. Bella turned back to Jasper more than confused.
Jasper laughed walking towards the door "how about a little ride Bella?" pale fingers pushed his blonde lock out of his face and tucked it behind his ear, grabbing her jacket from the coat hanger he strutted back over slowly in her direction, "put this on darling."
"Why? I don't want to go outside Jasper. What can't Emmett take me?"
"Go on Bella." Emmett's velvet voice said gently from the couch. "I think you would rather Jasper take you your first time than me" pausing "I might get overly excited and show off a little too much. Least Dad thinks so." Esme standing behind the couch smacked him on the back of the head softly. He looked up at her "What?"
Bella crinkled her nose at him "do what?" her attention turned when Rosalie laughed "just do it Bella. Trust him."
"Carlisle?" Bella sighed softly almost begging for him to say something. Do something.
"Bella put this on" Jasper standing a few steps behind holding the jacket for her to step in to. Carlisle was about to crack up laughing but he held his composure. Bella got closer to Jasper then turned around sticking each arm in the arm holes. He lifted the jacket over her shoulders then spinning her around facing him with golden eyes sparkling "I need you to hold on."
"To what?" she laughed out, thinking this was a joke. Everyone laughed loudly.
"To me."
"You? Why do I want to do that? I mean Alice is your wife." Alice giggled with a fist over her mouth. Bella turned her head to Alice.
Leaning over his southern drawl "Bella, trust me" his lips whispered in her ear causing her to jump, whipping around facing him.
"Yeah but…" turned about back to question Carlisle and his motives "Car.."
Jasper grabbed her sweeping her off her feet "fine. We'll do this the hard way."
"Wait!" she screamed then In a flash he was out the front door into the darkness running with her as fast as he could to the back yard then through the woods. Bella gripped to him hard, not believing what was happening. They were running through the woods faster than a car. Jasper quickly swung her around to his back keeping a grip on her hands, causing her legs to wrap around his waist and her arms wrapped around his neck in a death grip "hold on Bella" he looked up then jumped grabbing a tree branch then climbed the tree to the top quickly.
Her heart rate was beating so fast "Jasper, how are you doing this?"
Jasper stopped at the top of the tree, "you see what I can do?"
"No freakin duh! I'm scared of heights!" burring her face in his back, holding tight. "Jasper. I'm so scared I think my grip is slipping."
He laughed and in a flash he was back down on the ground, hands slid her around the front of him, down his body and planted her feet on the ground "sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you." Her eyes were still shut "are we down yet?" he laughed "Bella, open your eyes." She cracked them taking a peek then realizing what had happened "did I just wake up or something?" He smiled "there's more Bella. I should get you back before Emmett comes looking for us. You get the idea."
"Your so fast and strong! You lifted me like I don't weigh anything then up that tree..."
"Climb on my back, I'm taking you back now." she nervously jumped on his back when he turned on her, arms gripping around his neck tightly. "Hold tight and don't shut your eyes this time." Suddenly he was gone, trees flew by as he ran, before another thought he was back inside the house sitting her down on her feet.
Emmett jumped up seeing she was pale "Babe" hands went around both sides of her face, golden eyes searching her face waiting for her to talk. Carlisle moved from Esme to Bella "Bella."
"I...I'm okay. I just need to sit down. So I'm not dreaming. That just seriously happened?" Emmett helped her sit down. Bella looked up at Carlisle who was still standing at the front door until she sat then in a flash he was kneeling in front of her checking her out "Bella are you dizzy?" She nodded "a little. You just was...standing there and then.."
Carlisle chuckled "Bella. We are vampires. The whole, pale cold skin, fast, strength thing and you see I only work night shift. Not that sunlight hurts us, it just makes us stand out a lot. we will show you in the morning. " He felt Bella tense "We just don't bite people for blood, only animals. If that's what your worried about."
"How do you think I cleaned your living room so quickly while you washed your hands?" Emmett added.
"Oh. Yeah. That was strange." Bella watched them all carefully then looked back at Carlisle in front of her not really knowing what to say.
Rosalie spoke up "we want you to be a part of our family. You don't have to be changed yet if you don't want to. We all have certain different abilities. Like Edward reads minds, Alice has visions of the future and Jasper feels emotions.
"Wow. A lot to process, but I'm okay. I think. Wow." squeezing Emmett's hand. Carlisle remained at her feet. After a few minutes of them waiting in silence to see how Bella was going to react, Bella broke out and said "Well, I guess that means I leave you to finish up the painting job since your so fast."
Everyone busted out chuckling in relief. Carlisle grabbed and kissed her cheek "I take that this is a yes, you will be a part of our family now.'
Bella looked at Emmett "Yes." looking back at Carlisle. "But I have very many questions to bug you about and I have to work tomorrow."
"You can't work Christmas Eve!" Emmett said sadly.
"I have to. I am working my shift then Ms. Dixon's shift that night. I go in at 7am and get off at 2am. I'm sorry Emmett. I told her I would before you asked me out." She kissed his cheek then laid her hand on his shoulder.
Carlisle smiled "I'll work that out. Go on in and I'll call you when it's worked out." He lifted her chin and got up "let's go gang. I'm sure Bella and Emmett have things to discuss." Carlisle took his keys from his pocket, everyone said bye then ran out in a flash before Bella's eyes.
