Disclaimer – Twilight? NO don't own. Now onto the next chapter I know you all are really thrilled to find out how Alice and Edward deal with their mates. And how will Aro feel when he sees Bella?

Review:

Bella pulled back and looked Jasper in the eyes. "Can we take things slow?" She asked him biting her bottom lip.

"Of course Darlin." Jasper pulled her to him and kissed her then stood taking Bella with him. "Come on lets get back. Peter and Charlotte are probably back by now."

Bella smiled and nodded. "Alright."

Jasper took her hand and took off. Bella laughed as she ran beside him back to the house. She just hoped that nothing could take away her happiness.

-o0Two days Late0o-

Carlisle stood in the living room looking at his family. It had dwindled down from 7 then 8 back down to 4. Jasper and Bella were no longer with them and now Edward and Alice were leaving. Even though he was upset with his children he wished that he could take their pain away. Edward was his first companion and he wished he had done different with him now. When a knock came Carlisle grinned sadly and went to answer it.

"Aro my old friend." Carlisle greeted him. Aro smiled as he entered.

"It is wonderful to see you again." Aro went directly to the living room where Esme, Emmett and Rose were standing on one side while Alice and Edward were standing on the other. "Alice Demetri is right outside along with Jane if you would like to show them around while I speak with Carlisle and the rest of them."

Alice sighed and nodded as she grabbed Edwards arm and drug him outside. He dug in his heels and did not want to go however as soon as he was outside they heard him scream. Which could only mean that Jane had her mate with her now. Aro sighed as he turned his attention back to the rest of the Cullens. Marcus and Carius were standing on either side of him.

"Now that the children are getting along we need to discuss just how I found out about your little pet." Aro narrowed his eyes as they went from Carlisle to Esme to Emmett then landed on Rose who was giving him a bored look.

Carlisle stepped forward. "You mean Bella?" He looked at the other two brothers.

"Of course we mean Isabella." Carius hissed. "Do you really think that you could hide another from us. The last pet of your son, Edward, almost gave away our secret. If we had not stepped in then she would have had the book published and then the human world would have known of our existence."

"We have kept our eyes on you Carlisle for you own safety as well as ours." Marcus added looking as bored as Rose.

"The only reason that Bella knew of our secret was because she watched and observed." Rose answered looking at Aro. "I heard her and Edward talking about months after she was told by Edward. In fact she was the one that told him what we were."

Aro looked at the others. "Is this true?" He looked shocked. "I assumed that young Edward told Isabella what we were? Intriguing." He looked out the door. "Jane would you mind bringing your mate here please?"

"Of course master." Jane answered. "Come along, dear." They all could hear Edward shuffling his feet.

Edward as pushed into the room with Jane behind him. Aro went to Edward and took his hand in his. Closing his eyes Aro watched the memories of what happened up until Edward had left her. Aro opened his eyes and looked at Edward with shame.

"Edward did you tell your family what you told dear Isabella before you left?" He tilted his head as he looked at him.

Edward shook his head. "No I have not told them." He looked up at Carlisle. Edward could tell that all of them were rather upset by this.

"Tell us Edward what you said to Isabella?" Emmett growled his muscles tense with anger. "Or so help me?"

Just then Edward fell to the floor in pain. Jane was smiling. "There is no need I can punish him just fine." There was an evil glee in her eyes.

Jane stopped after a moment then Edward got to his feet. "I told Bella that I never loved her. I told her that I was tired of playing a human and she meant nothing to me or the family. I also told her that it would be as if we never existed. We would disappear from her life and her human mind would soon forget us."

Emmett lunged but Jane dropped him just as quick but no one would have guess that it was Rosalie that would lunge for Edward. She slammed him up into the wall of the house and tightened her grip on his neck. She snarled as she held him up where his feet were not touching the ground.

"I should kill you." Rose growled. "You were only using Bella for you own gain and that is sick. I knew that she was too good for you. All she ever did was love you and us even though we told her we were monsters. Do you realize that we all heard you ask her if she was scared? We all heard her tell you that she was nervous about meeting us because she thought we wouldn't like her. Not because we were vampires. I have never seen a human that would risk their life for us."

Aro and the others stood back and listened. Marcus looked on in amusement while Carius looked pissed. Jane stood there next to Aro with a grin on her face. Demetri and Alice were standing over in the corner quiet. Esme went to Rose and layed her hand on the arm that held Edward.

"Come now Rose." She glanced at the Volturi. "Let Jane take care of her mate."

Rose snarled as she dropped him. "If you hurt my sister in anyway I will kill you and there is nothing any of them could do." With that she ran out the door and into the woods. Emmett hissed at Edward as he took off after his mate.

Esme shook her head and turned to Jane. "Please forgive Rose she was not changed in good circumstances." She smiled sadly as she went back to Carlisle's side.

Aro nodded. "That is understandable." He looked out the door where Rose and Emmett ran to. "It seems that this family is rather fond of this Isabella. Alice have you seen her?" He asked the small quiet girl in the corner with her head down.

"Yes Aro I have." She answered. She held out her hand for him to take.

Aro took no time in taking Alice's hand and closing his eyes. Letting her visions of Bella flood through his mind. After about a couple minutes Aro opened his eyes and looked down at Alice. He shook his head and sighed.

"My dear you have really made a mess of things haven't you." Aro couldn't believe what this young vampire had done to the family she was apart of. He looked at Demetri. "You will have you hands full with this one as well as Jane with her mate."

"It wont be a problem." Demetri grinned as he slid his arm around Alice shoulders. She shivered from the contact.

Aro turned to the others. "Well I do believe that we are done." He turned to his brothers. "Let us go to the south. I hear that the Major and his mate is down there in phoenix. I can not wait to meet this Isabella."

"Aro will you tell Jasper and Bella that we love them." Esme asked in a quiet voice.

Aro smiled. "Of course dear Esme." He turned to Carlisle. "I promise that I will take care of Alice and Edward you have my word. We will be in America for a little while but I promise that I will not hunt in this region."

Carlisle bowed his head. "Thank you, my friend." He looked over at Edward and Alice. "Do try and behave yourself. I would like to see you again."

Alice nodded. "Of course Carlisle." She elbowed Edward. He just growled and kept his eyes averted. Carlisle sighed as he gave a small smile to Aro.

Aro smiled and turned. "Come on then let us head south."

The others nodded as he walked out the door. Carlisle sighed as he fell into the seat he had been sitting in. He could tell that Edward would be hard to make listen but he believed that Jane could easily handle him. Looking up at Esme he frowned.

"We should call Jasper and let him know that Aro along with Alice and Edward are on their way." Carlisle would not let Aro just arrive when he knew that Bella would either kill Edward or die trying and then Jasper would go crazy.

-o0O0o-

Jasper and Peter were sitting out on the porch while the girls went into town to gather some things that were needed. Bella needed new clothes along with shoes. Charlotte also said they would be hunting while they were in town but would wait until they were done. Jasper cut his eyes to Peter and noticed that he had a frown on his face.

"What's the matter?" Jasper asked turning slightly towards him. "You look rather upset about somethin."

Peter looked at Jasper. "I just have a bad feelin." He looked out at the horizon. "Somethin bad is comin."

"Well what ever it is we'll deal with it." Jasper grinned but his phone rang. Flipping it open he was surprised that it was Esme that was calling. "I'll be right back." Jasper told Peter as he took off answering the phone.

"Jasper?" Came a males voice.

Jasper knew right away that it was Carlisle. "What can I do for ya?" He asked trying to stay calm.

Carlisle sighed. "Aro along with his brothers and Demetri and Jane were here." Jasper stopped running to listen. "They came for Alice and Edward because Demetri is Alice's mate while Jane is Edwards. They are coming down south to meet Bella."

Jasper growled. "When did they leave?" He would have to tell Bella as soon as she arrived.

"Just a few seconds ago." Carlisle told him. "Rose and Emmett took off when we heard what Edward said to Bella for her to let him leave." Jasper could tell that Carlisle was rather upset.

"I know also." Jasper tried to keep his cool. "Isabella told me everything that he did. He took her out into the woods and left her."

Carlisle sighed. "Yes I know now as well as Esme, Rosalie and Emmett. Rose was rather upset by his lies." Everyone knew that Rose had a very rough start.

Jasper snorted. "Then I'll tell Isabella when she returned from town with Charlotte." He looked at Peter. Peter nodded.

"That's fine." Carlisle sighed. "I am really sorry for what happened."

Jasper laughed. "No your not. Like I said before you all are just hiding who and what you are." With that Jasper hung up on him.

Jasper looked at Peter. "Well as soon as the girls get back then well sit down and talk about Aro's visit along with Alice and Edward." He sighed and closed his eyes. "I just hope that everythin will work out alright."

Peter clapped Jasper on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it." He shot Jasper a shit eating grin. "With Char and I no one will harm Isabella or you."

Jasper nodded. "I appreciate that." He looked down the road. "I believe I hear the girls comin."

"I do believe they are headin home." Peter stood up and looked down the road. "I'll take Char out for a little while that way you can talk to Isabella in private."

Jasper nodded. He knew that Edward kept a lot of things from Bella but he would not. Bella's life was in danger just as the rest of them. Bella deserved to know what was going on. Jasper smiled wider as he spotted Charlottes' car in the distance. He never felt this strongly about Alice but with Bella he didn't have to hid himself.
