A/N: Weee another one... just some explaining, and semi fluff... hope its a little better than what I've been writing lately. Writers block sucks :( Thank you all though, you have been very patient and kind!

Later that night, Edward still had not returned home, and Bella was frantic. Jasper had returned from their hunting trip alone, and Bella instantly started to worry.

"Where do you think he is?" Bella asked, following Jasper around, he would have laughed but he didn't want to seem insensitive.

"He had a lot on his mind. He probably just wants to be alone right now," Jasper had told her. She seemed to let it go for a while, but once it got dark and Edward still hadn't returned, she started again.

"Jasper, what happened to him?" She asked. She was tired, he could feel it. She yawned and realized how little she slept the night before. She never slept well knowing that someone was leaving, even if it were just for a while. Old habits and all.

"Bella, I am sure he is fine. How about we wait for him for another hour, and if he doesn't show, I will go find him," Jasper reasoned. He knew that Edward was just thinking. This is what he did when he came to a realization.

Forty minutes later, Bella was asleep leaning on Jasper. He was quietly reading a book and Emmett came into the den.

"She pass out naturally, or was that you?" He asked with a devious smile.

"All her. She didn't sleep last night," Jasper answered. Emmett nodded understanding why.

"I'm going to hunt, I'll keep an eye out for Edward," Emmett said. Jasper nodded and went still as he felt Bella stir. She leaned more into him, and her head was now in the crook of his neck, her shallow breath was tickling his skin. Right as Emmett left, Edward walked in.

He took in the scene in front of him, Jasper and Bella on the couch; she was asleep cuddled closely to him. He was holding a book with one hand, and had his other around her, holding her up. Jasper felt Edward's emotions go from confusion to anger and jealousy. He didn't say anything but lightly shook his head and started to walk towards his room. Nothing was worse than seeing the girl you love in the arms of someone else.

"Edward, wait." Jasper called quietly. Edward sighed and turned, watching as Jasper moved Bella carefully, trying not to wake her. He rubbed her head once to send relaxed feelings her way. Then he motioned for Edward to walk into the next room.

"What do you want?" Edward asked once they left the room.

"I want to clear something up. You are under the impression that I have feelings for Bella. I don't, she's like a sister to me," Jasper said. Edward didn't instantly believe him.

"Yeah, it sure doesn't seem that way," He said sarcastically. Jasper explained everything to him, the same way he explained to Alice. He felt Edward's emotions go from anger, to understanding, to guilt.

"Don't," Jasper warned.

"I practically put it into Alice's head about you and Bella. I could have been the reason you two broke up. And now Bella will probably hate me when she realizes my feelings. I should have never come back," Edward said, he couldn't realize how stupid he had been.

"This whole time, you've blamed yourself for hurting everyone. You thought it was a bad idea that you left because it hurt the family. But I think you made the right decision. Had you stayed, you and Bella would have the kind of relationship she and I have. The reason that the idea of me being in love with Bella is so ridiculous is because I have watched her grow up. I helped raise her. I have felt the love you have for her; it is beyond anything I've ever seen. You cannot leave, because this could be the best thing that has ever happened to you," Jasper urged.

Edward couldn't help the mixture of feelings running through him. He was excited about the prospect of what could happen between him and Bella, but he also felt terrible for questioning Jasper.

"You have no idea how sorry I am," Edward said finally. Jasper smiled and lightly smacked his shoulder.

"Yeah, I do," he said, "just try and keep your emotions from running wild in my presence. At least until I get used to them."

"I'll try my best," Edward laughed.

They walked back into the den, and Bella was still asleep on the couch. Her cheeks were flushed again, and her breathing was quick. Jasper was about to send her calming waves until he heard her speak.

"Edward," She said silently, and Edward's head turned at record speed to look at her. When he had realized that she was still sleeping, Jasper felt Edward's exuberance and saw the look of complete love wash over his face.

"She's dreaming about me," Edward whispered excitedly. Jasper couldn't help but smile. He had never witnessed this kind of love. Edward exuded love out of ever pore. A small twinge of jealousy ran through him, he wished that everyone could feel this. But out of everyone, Bella and Edward deserved it the most. All they needed to do now was stop fighting it.

"That's a start," Jasper smiled and walked to his room, letting Edward enjoy this moment without worrying about anything else for once.

Please let me know if I'm doing any better. If not, I should probably not update until my writer's block is gone. I do have a better idea of where the story is going now though! Thanks for everything! Review!
