Okay, this is absolutely randomness that got away form me. Enjoy!
Carlisle POV:
I heard Bella yawn downstairs, and heard Jasper move slightly away from her. Even with over 50 years of this lifestlye, he still had trouble with it, and I knew it hurt him to know that he couldn't be close to Bella like everyone else was. It was a good thing Bella wouldn't be human for much longer. edward had been furious for weeks with the people who had voted with her, but he had chosen not to live without her, and turning her was the only way to keep them both happy...and alive. No one wanted a repeat of what happened in Volterra.
Bella yawned again, and I glanced at the clock. It was 11:30pm. Edward would be upset that we didn't get her to bed sooner. I went downstairs, and saw something I'd never thought I'd see in my 362 years.
I had heard incorrectly when I thought Jasper had shifted away from bella. She was leaning against him, laughing at something on the TV, while Jasper had his arm around her, looking very comfortable with her proximity. "May I join you guys?" I asked. Jasper looked at me, and grinned. he felt my surprise. I nodded quickly, saying, too low for Bella to hear, "We'll talk later." I could help but to smile at how happy both of them were. "Is Bella sugar-high?" I asked. She was giggling at the most random times, at absolutely nothing at all. Jasper nodded, sheepish. "I gave her a bag of Pixy Stix. I forgot what sugar does to humans." I grinned. "You know what Edward will say when he finds out," I warned him. He nodded, turning back to Bella. She had jumped up to switch the movies. "Erm, Bella? How long exactly do you intend to stay up?" Jasper asked her. "Silly Jasper! I'm going to stay up all night, like my favoritest people in the world!" she sabg, running and launching herself between us. "We're you favortie people?" he asked teasingly. She nodded, grinnig.
I tapped him on the shoulder, without Bella being aware of it. "Sleep wave," I mouthed. He grinned. Bella immediately knew what he was doing, and tried to get away from us. "No, no Bella, time to sleep." We held her back until she fell asleep. "Stay here," I told Jasper, "I want to talk to you."
Bella woke up a little on the way upstairs. "Mmm, Carlisle?" she asked. "Yes, Bella?" She leaned against me. "Stay with me?" she mumbled. "Of course." I sat with her until she fell asleep, then ran downstairs to talk to Jasper.
"What was up with you and Bella? How...?" I didn't know how to ask without hurting his feelings. He knew what I meant, though. He looked down at his hands for a minute, then looked up at me. His eyes were full of wonder.
"When she was sitting next to me, I could feel how happy she was. She wasn't feeling an ounce of fear. She was so happy, full of love...knowing I caused her to be that happy, I knew I could never bear to hurt anyone like that. I can't imagine life without her. I could never hurt my little sister." He smiled adoringly. Edward would be mazed to hear this, as would Esme and Alice. Esme was always sad to see Jasper hurting because of his weakness for Bella, and Alice loved Jasper, and hated to see him in pain. Just then, my phone vibrated in my pocket. It was Alice.
"Hello?" Alice ran through her words, faster than I could understand them. "Slow down. I can't understand you." She sounded like she was going to explode."I saw what happened. Can I talk to Jasper?" i passed him the phone. "It's Alice."
"Hello, Alice." Jasper said. Alice started speaking, telling him how proud she was of him. Then I heard him say uncomfortably, "Um, sure, I'll talk to him." While the phone was switching hands, I looked at him questioningly. "Edward." I took a deep breath. This could end very badly.
"Oh. Wow. Thanks. it really means a lot to me to hear you say that." he said,surprised. This was good, Edward was happy. "Okay, here he is." He held the phone out to me. I looked at it like it was an open flame. He shook it, grinning. It wasn't like he could bite me over the phone.
"Hello, Edward." At least he wasn't snarling at me...yet. "Hello, Carlisle. You've seen what went on between Bella and Jasper? I'm completely amazed. I'm glad, ecstatic, but still in awe." "As am I, son, as am I." I looked over at Jasper, he olooked extremely pleased with himself. "Okay, Alice wants me off the phone. Please try to get Bella to bed at a reasonable time, and refrain from giving her Pixy Stix." I laughed. "No promises. She has us wrapped around her little finger." I hung up the phone. They would be back in 2 days. How were we supposed to keep her occupied; it was going to be sunny all weekend.
The next day, we ended up watching movies and just staying around the house. Jasper stayed with Bella the whole day; it was like they were joined at the hip. I was so happy to finally see them close, like Alice or Emmett are to her.
When Jasper went out to exchange the movies, Bella came to me. "Hi Carlisle! Jasper went to get me a new movie. He's so nice! And, he's not staying away from me! He's always been so distant, I wonder why he's changed." We sat down on the couch. "Bella, Jasper and I had a conversation about that yesterday, while you were sleeping." She looked at me expectantly. I started to explain.
"You know, yesterday, when you were sitting with Jasper, your emotions changed him." She looked confused. "He felt your total happiness, and love. He said he didn't feel any fear coming from you at all." Realization flickered across her face. "I wasn't" she mused. "I don't rememeber being afraid of him at all, not once." I nodded, smiling. " He told me yesterday that, feeling your happiness, he could never bring himself to hurt you." I saw Jasper coming up behind Bella, signalling me not to say anything. he came up behind her and picked her up from the couch. "And I love you little sis!" Bella twisted around and yelled, "Jazzy!" I smiled. This was one of the greatest days I've ever had.
"I love you too, Jazzy!" Jasper grinned. "I got you a new movie...Belly." Bella glanced toward me. "Come on..." She wouldn't. "Carly!" She would! I chased after her, but Jasper picked her up and shot out the door.
He set her down, and Bella looked around. "Do you guys ever use your lawn?" she asked. Jasper and I looked at each other. "No, not really." I said. "We should play Tag!" she yelled. "What's Tag?" Jasper asked. I was curious about this stared incredulously. "The simplest game ever! You run around trying to tag someone, then the person you tag is it." Jasper looked at her quizzzically. "It?" Bella sighed. "The person tagging everyone else." What a game. "But there are rules, that don't apply in normal circumstances, but you two aren't normal..." she grinned. "You two have to run at human spped, and you can't team up on the human." We spread out, and Bella yelled, "Ready, Set, GO!"
Jasper was 'It' first. He started for Bella, but quickly spun around and got me. I saw Bella right behind Jasper, so I ducked under his arm, grinning like a madman, I'm sure, and got her. Her hand flashed out to tag Jasper, then we both sprinted away from him. It was pretty fun, I have to admit.
After our game, we went inside to watch the movie Japser got for us. It was a Civil War documentary. Jasper must have been feeling a little narcissistic when he picked this one. Bella shrieked and pointed at the screen when Jasper's military portrait came up. Jasper laughed quietly. About halfway through the movie, Bella fell asleep against me. No matter how slowly I moved, she stirred, so I gave up and let her sleep. It was nice just sitting with her and Jasper.
"Edward." she said. It took us a minute to realize she was sleep-talking. "I want to stay with Jazzy and Calrilse all the time. I love them, they're so nice." She was having a conversation with Edward in her sleep. "They're my family now. I love them," she mumbled again. "I love you too, Bella." I said, wrapping my arms around her. Our family was finally complete.
Okay, I know there's a million and half errors in here, but I really don't want to deal with the spellcheck on this site, it sucks, so when I have Word back, I'll fix it. Bear with me for now, please :D
