Jasper's POV

As I finished getting ready my phone began to buzz. I knew it had to be Bella giving me the all clear so I left it and went downstairs. When I made down the steps I saw Rose and Emmet lounging on the couch watching TV, and could hear the sounds of Esme cooking. I went to the kitchen after a brief wave to Rose and saw Carlisle with her.

"Hey, I just wanted to let you know I'm heading out to get Bella."

Esme looked up from the vegetables and smiled. "Alright let her know dinner will be ready when she gets here."

"Alright, I'll be back." I walked out of the kitchen and to the front door to be stopped by Rose. "What do you want, Rose?"

"I want to ride with you to get Bella."

"Why?"

"Because I just do, simple as that, now let's go before Bella starts to worry."

Before I could say no Rose had made it into my car and was ready to go. I smiled and shook my head as I ran to the car to get in. Rose kept quite the whole trip to Bella's and I was worried. Rose wasn't the type of person to be quite unless she was planning something. I could see Bella sitting outside on her steps as I pulled in and smiled. I heard a chuckle from besides me.

"What is so funny, Rose?"

"The fact you deny feelings for her but smile when you see her. You sure are one strange person, Jasper"

I got out of the car instead of replying and walked to Bella as she stood.

"Hey, Jazz" She said as she hugged me earning I told you so from the car to low for Bella to hear. She smiled as she looked at the car and stepped out of my hug. "I see you brought Rose with you."

"Actually I had no choice in the matter she was in the car before I could say no."

Bella laughed and shook her head as she opened the back door and climbed in. I looked at Rose as I made my way to the driver's side with a look that said don't try anything. All she did was smile and stayed smiling as I pulled out of Bella's Driveway.

Bella's POV

I wondered why Rose would want to tag along with Jazz to get me, did she not trust him or was she just wanting to tag along, who knows.

"So Bella how are you doing today?"

"I'm doing fine, Rose. How are you doing?"

"Fine as always. So how are you feeling about the whole Edward and Alice thing and Edward being dead?"

Jasper stopped the car in the middle of the road and turned towards Rose glaring, "Rosalie, why would you ask that questions you know how she feels about it."

"Actually, Jazz, I-"

"Guys stop!" They turned around to look at me. "Jazz, really it is fine just drive."

He growled and turned around putting the car back in drive. "Rosalie will talk about this later."

"No you won't she asked me a question and I can handle it, I'm a big girl, Jazz." He mumbled a fine and let it be. I turned to Rosalie who was still facing me, "To answer your question, Rose, I feel sad that he is gone, that they are both gone, angry that they did this to me and to you guys more so Jasper and altogether numbness sometimes. I really don't know what to feel."

"Oh ok, I wasn't asking to be mean or anything, I was just concerned I heard what had happened when we left and I was afraid-"

"Don't worry, Rose, that won't ever happen again." I looked at Jasper. "I have a great support team this time around."

Rosalie nodded and turned around as we pulled into the Cullen drive way. I reached for the handle only for it to be gone and replaced with a smiling Jasper.

"Why thank you sir." I said as I took his hand and got out of the car.

"You're welcome."

I chuckled and walked into the Cullen home I had so missed while they were gone to be greeted with the smell of grilled chicken and vegetables. Jasper and Rose led me to the table in the dining room with the remanding Cullen's gathered around it. Esme stood as I walked in and gave me a big hug. I sat down next to her and was handed my plate.

"You know you all don't have to sit here while I eat I know it is repulsive for you."

Esme smiled and shook her head. "It may repulse us, Bella, but we have missed you and want to spend time with you."

I smiled and looked around the table at the Cullen's. This was my family with or without Edward and I knew some day I would be like them I would be sure of that.

Jaspers POV

All though dinner we joked and talked with Bella, it was good to finally have her back with us and I could feel from the emotion around the table that I wasn't the only one. After Bella finished Carlisle was called to the hospital for an emergency while Esme, Rose, and Emmet went to hunt. I was washing up dishes as Bella brought in her plate.

"I can wash my plate if you want me to, Jasper."

"I don't mind at all. After I'm finished maybe we could do something so you're not so bored."

She smiled and nodded while handing me her plate. She hopped up on the counter next to the sink and watched me as I finished up. After the water had drained and my hands were dry I turned my attention to Bella.

"So what sounds fun to you, Bella?"

"A movie would be good."

"Alright a movie it is then."

I took her hand as she hopped of the counter and lead her to the living room. After a ten minute search she finally settled on Marley and Me. Half way through the movie I felt Bella lean her head on my shoulder and knew she was asleep. I turned the movie off and gently woke her up.

"Hey you ready to go."

She nodded and looked at me as I stood arms extended out to help her up. As we walked to the car I could tell she was too tired to walk and picked her up. By the time we had made it to the car Bella was fast asleep in my arms and I chuckled as I put her in the passenger side. Once to her house Bella had woken up and was staring at me.

"Hey sleepy head, you're home."

She nodded and opened the door pausing before stepping out, "Would it be weird if I asked you to stay tonight? I don't want to deal with the nightmares alone anymore."

"Not at all, Bella, I'll be up as soon as I get back from dropping my car off."

She nodded as she stood up closing the door behind her. Once to the door I pulled out and drove to my house only to run right back to Bella's open window. By the time I had made it back Bella was asleep and tucked away under her sheets. I kicked off my shoes and climbed in next to her.

Bella jumped as she felt the movement. "It's ok, it's just me."

With those words she laid back down with her head on my chest, "Thank you, Jasper."

"For what, Bella?"

"For being here for me these past two days, I know it is hard on you too and I'm glad we have each other."

"Bella, there is no need to thank me I will always be here when you need me."

"Promise?"

"Promise, now go to sleep we have school tomorrow."

"Ok, goodnight, Jasper."

"Goodnight Bella."

At the moment as I focused on her breathing slowing down I knew I hadn't just developed a crush on Bella, I had fallen in love with her.
