Do Not Own

New Beginnings (Jasper POV)

Our move to Texas was pretty successful. The house was completed and furnished within three weeks. Only thing left that was being down to the house was the screened in pool area. I was making plans with Tanya and Riley to take Bryce overnight so Bella and I can have some alone time. The week before our move we got into a huge fight over her returning to work after the new baby arrives. I told her I rather her stay at home this time until they turn a year old. She wasn't listening to reason. Her morning sickness has gotten worse this time around. The one thing she and I have to decide is to find a new doctor for her.

Emmett and I had a serious conversation on our way down to Texas. I told him about our fighting and he suggested maybe we rushed into things after we first mated. In some way he was right. He also suggested that maybe we should separate for a while like a week or so. This would put a perspective on how our relationship can hold up. I might actually bring that up if things get worse.

Tonight I was taking Bella out to dinner and then head back home for some much needed alone time. Tanya had come over to pick up Bryce and his portable crib. Dinner was actually decent and she talked about her fears and our fighting. We both apologized and realized that we were fighting so much over the fact we hardly see each other anymore. Our jobs became first before us and our child. She summoned it up in one word that we just exist.

"Jasper, I think maybe after this baby is born we need time away from family and friends also." She spoke in the middle of watching a movie. "Like maybe when he or she is like 3 months old we take both kids and get away for a week or two. Leave our cell phones at home and forgo technology period."

"I couldn't agree more. Maybe we can get Carlisle to let us use Isle Esme. It is totally isolated and if there is an emergency there is a satellite phone there."

"When the time comes we will ask or we could always go to Charbelle Island." I looked at her like where. "It's an island near Isle Esme about 500 miles east of there. Aro had bought the Island for me when I was 5 I've been there a handful of times. I named it since it was mine."

"Let's just play this by ear for now. It won't be until around January next year we can make the trip."

"We will do that. I also think we should have a day or two a week now where we ignore everybody that calls and focus on our family.

"We can do that too." After talking some more we ended up falling asleep in each other's arms. The talking helped a lot and now the big step was telling our friends and family of our weekly shut off from phone calls.

Bella POV

After our talk a few weeks ago our relationship improved greatly. We also found out yesterday we were having a set of twins. One thing we are waiting on is the sex of them. We will have to wait until they are born this time. Some reason made us want to be surprised when they were born. The doctor told us our due date was around Halloween. Our family took to the news of us shutting the outside world off once a week. My dad told me he knew it was coming since everyone was depending on us to point them in the right direction. He also mentioned that things need to change in order for us to transition back into vampires in a few years.

Over the past few months since moving back to Texas I have been going through the house and organizing it to fit our needs. One thing I did start was working on a novel. A fictional novel based on betrayal of one love and finding the one true love. I wanted to make it a supernatural love story but still have time to change it since I'm only a few chapters in. What I really need is advice from someone besides Jasper. Of course my phone starts to ring.

"So little one what are you doing right now?" Of course it's my father.

"What no hello?" He starts to chuckle. "I am finally working on that novel that I always wanted to write. What are you doing?"

"Hiding from your mother. She is ten times worse since Jaslyn came into the world. I told her to nap while Jas is sleeping and I am on my way to go food shopping. By the way yes to your supernatural love story. Go for it use vampires but make them cliché but sort of like us. Your grandfather and uncles will get over it."

"I might just do that and go back in and edit some of the chapters. Jasper took Bryce out for a while to give me a break. Actually why don't you come pick me up I need to pick up a few things at the grocery store. I want to spend some time with you."

"I will be there in ten minutes so text or call Jasper."

"Will do daddy. See in a few." I hung up with him and went to grab my purse.

I shot a text to Jasper. Going shopping with daddy. Do you need anything?-B

Grab some of those cookies Bryce likes. I also need razors forgot them when we went to Wal-Mart. –J

No problem. How long are you going to be?-B

Couple more hours Bryce is napping here. I'm helping Garrett with the shop budget. I love you. –J

Love you too. See you soon.-B

Shopping with my father was actually pretty nice for a change. Of course I started to crave stuff so I spent more than I needed. He told me also while shopping that once my mother was up to it he was taking them away for a while with Jaslyn. We arrived back at my house and he handed me a set of keys. "This is for the house on the Isle. My knower is telling me the five of you will be going after the New Year." I gave a hug and pecked his cheek. "Thanks daddy." He turned back to me. "Also Mario and Anna will be expecting an email a week before you depart to have the house stocked with food and everything." I nodded my head.

Mario and Anna were natives of Brazil who were turned into vampires in the late 1800's. The Isle was there home before the purchase of it. They hunted once a week on the mainland but kept on the Isle to stay out of trouble. In return of us building and inhabiting the Isle my parents had built them a home on the opposite side of the Isle. They were our caregivers and one of the last couples to transition back to human. Now they live on the mainland and have a set of fraternal twins Angelo and Marisa.

Jasper was in the kitchen giving Bryce a drink.

"How was shopping?" I held up the four bags I had.

"I think we should order out tonight. Chinese sound good?"

"Yes. I'll put the things away and go sit."

"I got the keys for our getaway. Daddy also said you need to rescue him in a few days from my mom." I giggled and left the room.

"HEY!" He shouted at me.
