Chapter 5: Truly A Family
Jasper's POV
It was a clear day, and I had to spend my day cooped up in my house with the rest of the family. Now don't get me wrong, I love my family more than anything and I would do anything for them, but I wanted to be out. Since I couldn't go out, I played Madden 11 with Emmett. It was fun. I was Sam Bradford and the Rams and I was beating the shit out of Emmett who was Tom Brady and the Patriots. As I was getting ready to throw another touchdown, a knock was made on our front door. Emmett paused the game to go check to see who it was. He must have known them because he was conversing with them. Though everything changed when they appeared in the living room.
Beside Emmett stood four members of the same wolf pack that tried to kill me. Now I am guessing you all want to know how I know these four guys are from the wolf pack. I can smell the stench coming from them. They were glaring at me, and I was doing the same to them. As we continued our stare down, I slowly got into a crouching position. The four guys were also in defense. I said to them "how dare you show your faces at my home. What do you want with my family?" The only responses that I got from them were smiles plastered on their ugly ass faces. Then without any warning, one of the guys turned into a wolf while the other three watched. Then the wolf attacked me first, and so I defended myself by attacking him. We were going at it, and I was beating the crap out of him. In the background, Emmett was trying to get a hold of the wolf to get him off me, but it didn't work. The only thing that did work was my father tackling me to the floor, and both Edward and Emmett got that stupid wolf in check. I was on the verge of killing him before Carlisle got me off of him. After everyone was in check with their emotions, I looked at the four guys from the pack and those assholes were smiling again. Then I looked back to my father who really looked pissed at me.
Carlisle was the first to speak when he said "Someone better start explaining to me what the hell just happened?" Though before I could say anything, the alpha (I guess) said, "Carlisle I'm sorry about this, but your son got defensive and threatened us. Paul thought that he needed to be taken care of." I was beyond pissed because I didn't threaten them, they threatened me. Though I guess my dad didn't care because he was looking at me now. "Jasper, I want one hell of an explanation as to why you threatened Jacob and the others, and on top of that, attacked them." My dad was blaming this all on me, and I did nothing wrong. "I felt threatened by their appearance here, and they were mocking me. Plus I didn't attack them first, that one guy attacked me." I told him the truth. "I don't care who started it first, I care that you attacked family friends, and I will not have you hurting friends. I will finish speaking with you later. Now go up to your room, and I don't want to hear or see you until I am ready to talk. Now go." He was pissed, and I did nothing wrong!
After what seemed like forever, I heard those freaking mutts finally leave. Then about a half an hour, there was a knock on my door, and then my door opened and my dad stood in the doorway. He entered my room and closed the door. I was not looking at him, but I knew that he was looking at me. He was the one to finally break the silence, when he asked me my side of the story. I told him exactly what happened. He seemed less angry, and a little more understanding. He said to me, "I understand your mindset Jasper; I know you were trying to protect your family from them. The only thing that you have to understand is that they are our friends. So please try to control your feelings for them and do not try to kill them anymore, please. I love you, you are my misunderstood son. Hell, from what most of us witnessed, you are a very exceptional fighter, but it only takes one slip; one wrong move, and they will kill you. I know I don't want that, your mother doesn't want that, and neither do your siblings. So please try to get along with them." I was still looking down at my lap, but smiling now. Yeah my ego got a little big there when my dad told me that I was an exceptional fighter. "Thanks dad, I will try to control my feeling more when they are around." I know that they love me, but those damn four legged freaks really do get under my skin.
As my dad started to get up from the bed, he turned to me and said, "Oh Jasper, one other thing your mother wanted me to tell you, is that you start class tomorrow at Forks High School. You will be a freshman." He walked out of my room, leaving me with my jaw in my lap. Is this some sort of sick punishment? Did my mom and dad lose their minds? I am 168 years old; I don't need to go to school. So I raced out of my room and down the stairs. I saw my mom sitting on the floor with Bella while she was playing with a rubber duck. I went over to her and said, "Mom, dad said tomorrow I will be going to school. Is this a joke?" She was watching Bella when she replied, "No, you are going to be in ninth grade with Alice and Edward." Okay, class with my Alice and brother won't be too bad. I can deal with that. "Mom, I have been around a time or two, I know everything in a high school curriculum." She looked at me while holding a crying Bella and said, "Everything will be okay, and that it was just to keep up appearances with the towns people." As she walked away from me to go put Bella down for a nap, I knew that it was a losing battle, and I knew when to stop.
I was up with Alice in our room, when Rosalie came into our room, and asked us if we wanted to go shopping with her, Emmett, and Edward. I didn't even get a say because Alice was already pulling me out of our bedroom door and down the stairs to the front door. As we were getting our coats on, Bella looked up at us and was "talking" (even if you call it that). She wanted to go with us, and was smiling. So I asked dad if we could take Bella along. "Sure, but you have to take the car seat from my car. Oh, and I have one rule when you have your sister in the car with you all, drive the speed limit. I will find out if you don't." As we were walking out to our car, Emmett was already installing the car seat into Edward's Volvo. I really need to get a car of my own. Alice sat in the back with Bella, and I sat up front with Edward.
When we finally arrived at the mall, we started shopping for Bella first so we know she would be awake. She got a lot of nice things; like cloths, toys and other accessories that she needs. Then she started to get fussy, and so we all went for lunch. As we were eating, Alice was feeding Bella, and she is so good with Bella. I really want to give Alice a child so bad. I know that she would make a great mother. After we were done eating, it was us guy's turn to go shopping. Now with three guys, it took half the time it did with only two girls. I'm so glad to be done, and now we were on our way home.
When we finally got home, mom and dad were on the couch watching a movie. They were enjoying it until we walked into the house. Bella was laughing and kept throwing her rubber duck at Emmett, and he would just give it back to her and take the punishment over and over, such a good sport. Then mom and dad started to move, and dad started to get up to come get Bella, but Edward told dad to stay with mom; that he could take care of Bella tonight. So they stayed watching their movie, and Edward took a crying Bella away from Emmett. Though when they were finally upstairs, Bella was no longer crying. I went upstairs to check on my sister, and Edward was rocking her and talking to her while feeding her. He saw me, and he put her into her crib. When he was done, we talked about their relationship. I was right; Edward was my little sister's mate. I thought that it was kind of creepy that he found his mate in a three month old, but he said that he will wait till she was old enough to tell her that she was his mate. I nodded knowing that it's going to be, and I can't do anything to change it. I don't want to lose my sister or my brother. So I accept it for the love that they both share for each other, and I know that they are going to be great for each other.
I am now in my room holding Alice, thinking of everything that changed in the past month. I have found a family that loves both Bella and I, and will do anything for us. Both Bella and I have found our mates, even if Bella is still a little too young to realize this. I know that Alice and I have a really good future ahead of us, and I can't wait to spend forever with her. There is just so much that I want to do with Alice, like get married to her, and give her a family of her own. I know that she loves me and I love her.
Both Bella and I have two great parents now in our lives that we can look up to for help and guidance. I know that Bella needed a mother and father, but I knew that I would never be the father that she needed, and so I am so grateful for Esme and Carlisle taking us in. They are the ideal parents, and that is all I want for Bella.
Then there are my brothers, and sisters. I always wondered what having brothers and sisters would be like. Rosalie and Bella are the best sisters anyone could ask for. Rosalie can be mean sometimes, but really she loves everyone. It is just her way of expressing herself. Bella is great because for once, I had something positive in my life when I had nothing. I know that she looks up to me and that I look up to her. It makes me feel better about myself. Then there is Edward and Emmett. They are a total mess at times. They may appear to be mean and brooding, but they are really just two great guys that I am happy to have as brothers.
Looking at all of my family members, I don't think that I would change any of them, or want anyone else to replace them. They all contribute to this family in their own unique way and I love that about this family. No one thinks that they are better than anyone else in the family. There is just one way to describe our family; we are Truly A Family, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
I just wanted to say sorry to everyone that has been waiting for this chapter to be posted. I didn't forget, but I had to re-write it because I was not satisfied with what I had, and I didn't want to post something that didn't live up to the other chapters that I have posted previously. I didn't want to let any of you down that have read all the chapters that I posted so far. So hopefully this chapter lives up to the other chapters. I hope that you all enjoy this and please let me know what you all think. I am currently writing Carlisle's POV on this chapter, and I want to hear what you all have to say, so I can fix it or clarify something in the next chapter. Thanks Everyone (#5).
