A/N: As far as time line goes think pre Breaking Dawn and post Eclipse. Rating has gone up to M because I'm a cautious person :p
Three days later Miracle collapsed onto Bella's bed. Bella rummaged around in her drawers looking at Miracle's new wardrobe which mainly consisted of jeans, long sleeve shirts, tank tops, cropped jackets, and hats. She also got two pairs of converse shoes and three pairs of sunglasses.
All courtesy of the most generous Doctor Carlisle Cullen.
Miracle only offered the explanation of: Comfort. Her new clothes were going to be comfortable. After years and years of restrictive corsets, uncomfortable dresses, and impossible heels she wasn't going to suffer for beauty anymore. Bella wouldn't mind a little suffering if it made her look like Miracle. Of course, the older woman was no where near as beautiful as Rosalie (who could ever be that pretty?), but there was a strength that shone outwards.
Miracle's eyelids fluttered closed. Bella gasped in shock as her breathing became even and she started to lightly snore. She slept! Miracle fucking slept! Bella took out her phone and dialed Carlisle's number.
"Doctor Cullen." He answered.
"It's Bella. Um… about Miracle, she's sleeping. Like, actually sleeping. Snoring in fact." She felt like somewhat of a spy, telling on Miracle like this. She added after a moment, "I guess I just didn't notice her sleeping the other days. This is the first time."
Slowly Carlisle answered, "Edward was already on his way over when you called. The two of you can discuss it when he gets there. Sorry to be so curt Bella, but I'm trying to do some research on Miracle at the moment. Edward will fill me in later." He really did feel bad for being abrupt like that.
Bella wasn't offended she understood. "Okay, see you soon Carlisle."
He chuckled. "I have no doubt about that. You do have to come over for a dress fitting tomorrow. Good bye Bella."
"Bye." She hung up the phone only to hear a knock at the front door. Knowing it to be Edward she bounded down the steps.
Jasper watched Bella leave the room before slipping in the window. He hadn't done this the other two days, but something had drawn him to Miracle tonight. A feeling deep in his gut that told him to go to her. He walked over to the bed, watching her chest rise and fall gently. He could make out her nipples underneath the light fabric of her pajama shirt. Oh, God. He just wanted to kiss her one last time. It was always like this with them. Even as humans they went from one extreme to the other in the blink of an eye. Making sure he didn't jostle the bed, he sat down beside Miracle and traced her jaw line. Ever so slowly he bent down and kissed her gently.
Miracle's silver eyes flew open to see Jasper's gold ones still half closed from the kiss. She pushed him off of her. He went flying to the other side of the room where he crashed in to the closet. Miracle gasped and helped him up. She may still be pissed at him but it is only polite to help someone who has fallen.
Even if it is your fault.
Even if the person scared the hell out of you.
Jasper took her offered hand and stood up. "Guess I deserved that." He dusted himself off out of habit. "I came to apologize. What I said to you was awful. I wish I could take it back but I can't. I really do love you, bu I also love Alice."
Miracle appeared thoughtful. "I know why you're apologizing to me Whitlock. You want in my pants. Vampire pixie can't keep up or something?"
Jasper groaned. "Here I am pouring out my heart and you're thinking about sex. Shouldn't this be reversed Darlin'?"
"It was once upon a time." Miracle laughed. "Oh my God! That is the phrase isn't it?" Jasper nodded. She continued. "I still remember our wedding night. Ugh, it was so awful. Neither of us knew what to do, we were both so nervous!" She laughed.
"Yeah, I remember. You kept telling me to relax. My body would eventually take over." He smirked. "You were right." Just then his phone buzzed in his pocket. Alice had sent him a text. It said: You have my permission. I know how you feel about her Jazz. But just tonight. Tomorrow we need to talk.
Jasper turned off his phone and put it on the bedside table. "Wanna relive that night?"
Miracle's eyes went round. "No way! If I was going to relive any night with you it would be the one before we found out I was pregnant with Bonnie!"
"Ooh, that's a good one." Jasper pressed his lips to her in a sweet kiss. She deepened it little by little making him moan in expectation. Miracle expertly nipped at his neck, knowing that was his 'sweet spot' of sorts. She slipped her hands under his shirt and traced the muscles of his chest. He growled lowly and pushed her down on to the bed.
Jasper slid her shirt up over her head and kissed down her stomach. "I missed you." He whispered against her skin.
"As I missed you."
Edward smiled slightly and turned to Bella. "Let's go to my house for tonight love."
"But Miracle-"
"She'll be just fine."
-MdW-
The next day Miracle hissed as cloudy sunlight hit her bare skin. She had gotten by the past few days by wearing long clothing, but the sun still hurt her some. Jasper shifted so he covered more of her naked body.
"Why does the sun burn you?" He asked more to himself.
"Hell if I know. Maybe it just doesn't like me?"
Jasper rolled his eyes. "It's a ball of gas. It can't like or dislike you sweetie."
Miracle snuggled close to him. "Fuck you Whitlock."
"Yes you did." He chuckled, then sighed. "I need to go. It's four in the afternoon. Alice and I have some things to talk about." Jasper kissed the top of her head. She nodded in understanding.
"Beg for forgiveness Jasper."
"But-"
"Shut up." Miracle snapped. "Tell her you love her, only her." It occurred to her that she was telling Jasper to lie. Wasn't it evident he still cared for her after last night? But he needed Alice. Miracle didn't know how she knew that but she did. It was a feeling deep down in her gut. "Forget about last night."
Jasper watched as Miracle's pupils grew and shrunk. He found himself agreeing to forget.
"Now go back to Alice."
Jasper got out of bed, dressed and turned back to Miracle. Confusion hit him like a ton of bricks. "Why are you naked Miracle?"
Miracle covered herself up. Not out of shame, but to block herself from the sun. "You didn't have to take me so literal Whitlock."
"About what?" Genuine confusion colored his tone.
"Just go."
And he went, leaving Miracle to find a way to get dressed without the sun getting her. It wasn't that hard. She just had to keep the blankets wrapped around her. But it was too late to keep anything wrapped around her heart. Jasper was back in it.
And he was back with a vengeance.
The phone rang and Miracle answered it. She was still uncomfortable around the thing, but it was getting easier to use. "Hello?"
A man's voice came on the other end, "Miracle, it's Jacob."
"Oh, hello Jacob. What can I do for you?" She asked in her most Southern Belle way.
"You want to come down to the beach today? I have some friends you should meet."
"That sounds nice Jacob."
"Okay, well, I'll be there soon."
Miracle laughed. "It's a date."
