I'm glad you guys are liking my little video that goes with this story. I'm sorry that it's a cruel form of torture that you get to see a little bit of what will happen, but you know you secretly love being on the edge of your seat!

I own nothing! Onward!

JPOV:

I don't know what made me do it. It could be the fact that I hadn't pressed my lips to hers in over a hundred years and I just needed to remember; not that I ever forgot. Maybe I did it because at that moment, she had never been more beautiful or more vulnerable.

I felt her heartbeat. It was pounding wildly in her chest and I envied her a little. Her lips were pouty and her chest heaved with air. My resolve to be upset with her flew out the window as soon as I smelled her sweet scent; fresh laundry. I know it doesn't seem appealing to most people, but you know how good laundry smells after you get it out of the dryer? That's what she smells like.

My lips released their grips on hers and I looked into her eyes. I searched them for anything; any sign that she remembered me or what we had together. "Jasper" she whispered. My dead heart filled with hope; just a little.

"Anything?" I ask. I was grasping straws right now. I'd waited so long for her, never knowing she was "alive" and I needed her to remember me. Her eyes met mine and she smiled softly.

"Yeah." She nodded. "I remember that feeling. I remember feeling that way when I was alive. When, when you kissed me." Her eyes pooled with venom and I hugged her. I hugged her to my body and didn't want to let go. We sat in silence just holding each other for what seemed like hours. "Will you tell me what happened? You and me?" She sat on the ground and I stood before her while she picked at the grass.

"Well, your father was a wealthy man in Louisiana. He would let our troops camp on his property from time to time. That's how we met." I was awarded a shy smile. Her smile. "You and I would talk into the wee hours of the morning, sometimes, when I was on duty to watch over the camp. We would talk about books and hobbies." She looked down. "Anyway, I was gone for over a year and we kept in touch by writing."

"I still have all of your letters." She admitted. "Peter got them from my house for me. He said that I should have them to remember you by." I nod. "Didn't do much good, though."

"There's nothing wrong with losing some of your human memories, Bella. It happens to most vampires. Sometimes it's more of a hindrance than a blessing. Anyway, we got married. You were, you were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen; a vision in white. When we consummated our marriage that night, well, that was the best night of my life." I admitted. She would blush right now if she were human.

"Then while I was on patrol one night I came across a group of women who looked stranded by a river; more of a creek, really. I had approached them and they didn't really say much until the middle one was suddenly upon me and bit into my neck. I remember thinking that I was burning alive and that I had to get back to you. I didn't know what was going on, not until I woke up three days later. Peter had been caught much the same way as me." I paused, getting angry at the memory. "She had us killing people and draining them." She gasped in horror. "We didn't know any other way. We thought we were monsters, doomed to walk the earth for all of eternity, when all we wanted to do was find our girls."

"You could've turned me, Jasper. I wouldn't have been angry." She said.

"I wasn't strong enough to do it. I didn't want you to be damned to the life I was exposed to for my first part as a vampire. When I saw you reading that letter from the army, I couldn't do it. You don't know how many times I just wanted to show up at your door and take you away." I said bitterly. Not because of her, but because now I knew that it would've been okay if I had changed her, that she turned out okay.

"Jasper, you could've come back for me." She said.

"I didn't know, Bella." I told her. She asked what happened after I left Peter and Charlotte. "I roamed around for awhile. I didn't go anywhere in particular. I traveled the entire world. I'd seen everything worth seeing, but I wasn't content. Then, one day, I walked into a diner in a town I was living in. That's how I met Alice."

"Who's Alice?" I scratched the back of my neck.

"She thought we were going to be mates. She has this sort of gift that helps her see the future of something after a person has made a decision. Anyway, She said she'd been waiting a long time for me and that we were going to go live with a family. I thought she was crazy, but I was so tired of being by myself that I just went along with her." She looked nervous.

"Are you, were you with Alice?"

"No. I explained to her my feelings for you and about my history. She has or had feelings for me, but she knows that nobody else could have my heart. That belongs and had always belonged, to you."

She jumped up and wrapped her arms around me. "You want to meet my family?"

APOV:

I sat stone still as I got the vision that Jasper was going to bring Bella into the house to meet the family. I informed Esme that she will be hungry, so she started to whip up a small meal for her. It made her feel normal and useful when she got to do things like that. It didn't happen often, though.

To say that I was jealous would be an understatement. I wanted what Jasper felt for Bella after all these years. I knew that he didn't love me and never would, but I couldn't help but be a little selfish. He would be devastated if he knew that I thought she was still out there. I knew when she was coming to Forks. I didn't want to tell Jasper, for fear of him acting like a madman and trying to hunt her down. I'd see him go after Peter and it didn't turn out well.

When I met Jasper, he made me feel whole. He never did anything with me, let along kiss me, but he was there to listen to me. He dodged advances from some of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen, and made them swoon ten times over when he would tell them that "his heart belongs to another, and there it will stay."

"They're here." I tell them. Everybody stands still as stone as Jasper pulls Bella into the door. Peter and Charlotte were beaming while Edward looked nervous. He told me that he couldn't read her mind yesterday and that bothered him.

"Everybody, this is my Bella." Bella smiled shyly and waved. "Bella, this is my family. My mother, Esme." Esme grabbed her up into a hug and told her how beautiful she was. "My father, Dr. Carlisle Cullen." Carlisle hugged her. "My sisters Rosalie and Alice." I just sat back and gave a small wave and Rosalie beamed and waved. They'd met. "My brothers Emmett and Edward." Emmett hugged her and swung around in a circle and she laughed. "You've obviously met Peter and Charlotte." Charlotte ran up to Bella and hugged her and whispered something in her eyes that even we couldn't hear. Bella giggled and I really wished I had that kind of relationship with someone.

"It's really nice to meet all of you." Bella said as she let go of Charlotte. "You have a lovely home."

"So, Bella, tell us all about yourself." Carlisle said. I knew he meant her "condition."

"There's not much to tell, I suppose. I was human, I got turned, and now I'm here." She laughed. "Unless, of course, you mean my seemingly human workings." Carlisle smiled and nodded. "I really don't know how it happened. I don't know if it was because both of them turned me or what. It seems strange, obviously. But, I like the fact that I can sleep and eat but still have kick ass vampire powers."

"Hell yeah!" Emmett boomed as everybody else laughed.

"Do you like to shop?" I blurted out. Maybe she could be the sister I never really had. Yeah, there was Rosalie, but she hated shopping but loved cars. She nodded and Jasper groaned. He'd been on more than one shopping spree with me and absolutely loathed it. But then, I had a vision.

Bella was in white as Carlisle walked her down the aisle. Wildflowers adorned the wedding area. Jasper was a picture of perfection and poise, but he was projecting joy and happiness to everyone around him.

Oh my gosh! They're going to get married... again! I'm going to have to help her plan their wedding! That is, if she let's me help.

Peter walked them into the sitting room to let them explain everything that has been going on. Carlisle cleared his throat, unnecessarily. "So, Bella, what brings you all the way to Forks?"

She smiled. "Jasper. He and I were married before he or I were changed. I don't remember a whole lot from my human life, but I remember the idea of him, if that makes sense. Anyway, luckily for us, we're mates. I actually feel the pull to him that Peter and Char talk about. It really wasn't that bad before, just that I knew there was someone out there for me, but now that he's here? Yeah." She smiled.

Jasper spoke up. "We had some words about what happened, but ultimately, we just know it's right. I don't care how it happened now, I'm just glad she's here."

I may be a fairly selfish person, but I loved Jasper enough as a person to want this for him. He deserved his happiness.

EMPOV: (Because we all love Emmett)

That Bella chick looks like she needs a brother. I've decided I'm going to adopt her to be my little sister. They talked about how they met when they were younger, well Jasper did, Bella doesn't remember. My big brother looked at her like she hung the moon, and I suppose, maybe she did.

Well? So, you got a little bit of fluffiness in there to stir up the warm and gooey feelings. I added a little Emmett to the chapter because we all love him, don't act like you don't. Also, I know I have some fans who are not fans at all of Alice... you know who you are ;)

I am going to try and let Alice redeem herself... So... I want some options... How do you think Alice should redeem herself? And no, not by killing herself LOL
