"If I thought eating her would help, I would do it." Whispered Charlotte into my ear. We were walking behind Principal Green and Lauren, heading towards the Office. I shrugged my shoulders, "It's just as well," I told her, "She's actually a cockroach." Charlotte gave me strange look but didn't say anything.

"Lauren, wait in my office, Bella and Charlotte wait right here." Said the Principal before walking off towards the nurses office.

"On a scale of one to ten, how mad do you think The Major's going to be?" I asked her as soon as the principal was out of ear shot. I really did not think this through. I was already in deep shit for the jail thing, and this was just icing on the cake. Maybe I could blame it on a severe case of PMS? I once saw on the news of a women who murdered her husband and blamed it on her PMS hormones, and the jury found her innocent! Surely that could work for me too right?

I don't even know why I let Lauren get to me. All week long she had been making snide comments about Jasper leaving me for someone else and calling me a slut and whore. It wasn't like it was unexpected of her.

But when she pushed me against the wall that was the last of my patience. I just snapped. Surely Jasper could understand that right?

"Well, if this was your first offense, I would say maybe a six, but seeing as how he's probably still reeling over you getting locked up, I would say.....twelve." Said Charlotte, looking sympathetic. "And in light of recent events, my dare is being called off for the time being. Let's give Jasper some time to adjust to this before we go and make his life harder."

Wow, Charlotte calling off her dare? Now I know I'm in some major shit. I supposed it's just as well. If I tried that stunt after today I doubt I would be able to walk. I sat down in one of the plastic chairs, ready to get myself comfortable. I'm sure that she's going to call Carlisle. Kids that fight in school usually get suspended. I was so busy moping and feeling sorry for myself I didn't realize Principal Green had returned. "Here Bella, put this on your lip," she said handing me and ice pack, "You have a nasty cut there."

"Thank you." I muttered while doing as she said.

"I'm going to call your father, so you two wait here until he gets here. Then we'll have a meeting and go from there." She said before walking off back towards her office where Lauren was.

I knew Jasper was probably on a plane right now on his way home but I wanted to text him anyways. Maybe if I told him before he could find out from someone else then it wouldn't be as bad.

Hi Major, I just wanted to check in with you and say hello. I can't wait to see you tonight. I also wanted to tell you something before you heard it from someone else, I kind of had a misunderstanding today at school and Carlisle will be getting called shortly to come up here. Love you!- Bella

I hit send before I could chicken out. Charlotte having read the text message started laughing. "You know Bella, you sure do have a way with words." She said, still laughing. "Shut up," I mumbled, "I'm still trying to figure out a way to get myself out of this mess. Any ideas?" I ask her hopefully.

"Nope, I got nothin'" she replied while leaning back in her chair.

I felt my phone vibrate and looked down to see that I had a new text message. That's strange, I thought he would be in the air..

Isabella, are you in class right now? -JW

Jeez, trust me much? I already know not to text him while I'm in class.

"Tread lightly Bella," said Char softly in my ear, "You don't want to upset him before you tell him your situation."

Ugh, the purple eyed freak did have a point.

No, um Char and I are in the Office. -Bella

I heard the Principal's door open and quickly put my phone in my lap where she couldn't see it.

"Bella, your father's on his way." She said before shutting her office door again. Why was Lauren in there anyways? Before I could really think more on that the front Office door opened to reveal a frazzled, very pissed off looking woman. She glanced in our direction before narrowing her eyes at me then stalking off towards the Principal's office. Oh. Lauren's mom. With the coast clear I brought back out my phone.

Jesus Isabella what did you do now? -JW

Hey! What if I was the victim here? What if I had gotten beaten up or gang banged or something? He automatically assumed it was me in the wrong! From my previous texts I never came right out and said that I was in trouble or that I started something. I guess my face showed what I was thinking because Charlotte snickered at me. "Don't even go there Bella." She said.

I got in a fight with a girl. But it wasn't my fault. Well, not all of it anyways. And, has your flight been delayed or something? -Bella

I may as well tell him now and get it over with. I really needed to talk to Jasper when he got home. There was still so much that we needed to discuss. But I have a strong feeling the talking would come after the spanking.

Are you hurt? And no my flights not been delayed. -JW

Hmm this looked promising, maybe if I played the hurt, marytr card he would feel sorry for me. Yeah right.

Not really, just a fat lip. -Bella

Right when I sent the message Carlisle came walking through the door and he did not look pleased. Jeez, I can't seem to do anything right lately. He looked straight at me then came over and pulled me into a bone crushing hug. "Bella, are you ok?" He asked worriedly.

"Yea dad, just a busted lip. I'm so sorry, you have to believe me, I never meant for this to happen, I just snapped-" I tried to explain to Carlisle what happened when he cut me off with another squeeze. "Bella, it's fine," He said soothingly, "I'm going to fix this, now the school has a zero tolerance policy on violence which could lead to suspension or expulsion. Now normally I'm against bribes or other methods used to get our way, but I'm going to make this where you just have after school detention."

"Now, what happened?" He asked. I took a deep breath and told him my story. I knew now that he was on my side and that felt very reassuring. I just assumed that everyone would blame me for what happened. I mean after seeing Lauren's face compared to mine, it was obvious who came out on top from that little fight.

Carlisle didn't say anything, he just pulled me into his side while we waited to be called in to the Principal's office.


"W-Well like I said before Dr. Cullen we don't condone violence here on school property." Said Principal Green. True to his word Carlisle was fighting for me to only have an after school detention.

"I understand Mrs Green," said Carlisle, "but surely this does not require a three day suspension. Bella is a straight A student and has never had an issue before. I am not condoning Bella's actions, but I do not think they warrant such extreme consequences." I had to hand it to him, he was really laying it on thick and smiling at her so prettily. It took everything I had inside of me to not laugh.

"O-Of course not. I guess I see your point... Fine, I won't suspend her, but she will have three days of after school detention. And if there is another incident like this again then it will lead to automatic expulsion. Do you agree Dr Cullen?" Asked the evil, but dazzled cockroach.

I couldn't believe my luck. I got to take out my aggressions on Lauren, skip the rest of the school day and hardly have any repercussions? This was great! Now if only it would be that simple with Jasper.

"Of course Mrs Green, thank you so much for working with us." Said Carlisle, standing up to shake her hand.

As we were walking out to Carlisle's car I put my arm around him and gave him a hug. "Thank you so much Carlisle!" I said. He just chuckled and hugged me back before opening the car door for us.

"Well there's another surprise for you two at home." He said mysteriously, "I'm going to drop you girls off at the house, then I have to go to work."

When we pulled into the driveway the first thing I saw was a familiar looking Mercedes. "No! No way!" I squealed, opening my door before Carlisle had a chance to even stop the car all the way. I took off running towards the house with Charlotte right behind me. I threw the door open and looked around. There was no one in sight but I knew he was here. I could feel it. I took off running towards the kitchen, and there sitting at the kitchen table was The Major.

JPOV

"Looks like we are actually a little bit ahead of schedule Major, I'd say we could actually leave in three days time if we keep going at this rate." Said Peter. This was exactly what I wanted to hear. I had been busting everyone's ass off for the last week and a half to get these newborns trained and up to par at where Aro wanted them to be. It wasn't easy but we sure as hell were fairing very well.

Even Aro was surprised with the results of our training. Unfortunately it also made him that much more suspisous of me and what I was hiding from him. So far he still hadn't found out about Isabella but I wasn't sure how much longer that would last.

"Okay, line them up Peter." I told him. It was time to see which ones gained the most knowledge and power over the last nine days. We were down to eight newborns left and these were well above Aro's standards. I was very pleased at this point.

After walking the line and judging their emotions, and with the help of Peter, their powers, it looked like we were only going to be disposing of one. The rest were here to stay. "Get rid of the third one from the left and leave the others," I told him, "I'm going to go talk with Aro. Then go book our flight out of here and straight to Forks, we leave in two days." Then I walked inside and headed straight for the throne room.

The next two days went by quickly and soon enough we were on our way back to Forks. Peter got us an early flight so we would arrive the next morning instead of that night. I was excited to surprise Isabella when she got home from school. We had been talking on the phone and texting, but it just wasn't the same. I was never going to leave her again, that was for sure. One, I missed her too damn much and two, the girl just got into too much trouble when left alone.

I called Carlisle when we landed to let him know that we came in early and asked him if he could take a couple hours from work to talk to us about the girls behavior while we were gone. I knew from mine and Isabella's conversations that they had managed to keep out of trouble, but Peter had a feeling that we were missing something, and usually his hunches are never wrong. So an hour later we were sitting around the kitchen table listening to the stories of our Mates.

"She actually ate the peanut butter?! That's disgusting!" Exclaimed Peter. I couldn't help but laugh at that. It was worse than I thought.

"Major, I think that we are in over our heads here," Said Peter, "I'm actually a little afraid. There is no telling what those two will do when left to their own devices." I had to agree. "You may be right Peter," I said still chuckling, "I don't see this boding well for us."

The text message that I received from Isabella not five minutes later only confirmed my suspicions.

Hi Major, I just wanted to check in with you and say hello. I can't wait to see you tonight. I also wanted to tell you something before you heard it from someone else, I kind of had a misunderstanding today at school and Carlisle will be getting called shortly to come up here. Love you!- Bella

After reading that message to myself, I read it out loud to the others. But why would Carlisle need to go to her school and why was she texting me when she was supposed to be in class?

"Have you noticed that she only calls you 'Major' when she's in trouble or she knows that she's done something wrong, when she's not around others?" Asked Peter. He had a point. Right when I asked her what she did Carlisle got the expected phone call from Isabella's Principal, and thanks to our vampire hearing we were all able to hear the conversation.

"Carlisle Speaking." He said.

"Hi Dr Cullen, this is Principal Green from Bella's school. I'm calling because I have Bella here in my office." She said.

"Oh? And what can I do for you?" He asked her, sounding concerned.

"I need you or your wife to come up here for a meeting. Bella got into a fight with another student in the girls bathroom and hurt the other girl pretty badly. Now you know that I have a zero tolerance policy on violence at this school which means that Bella is looking at either a few days suspension or a complete expulsion." She said.

That's ridiculous, getting expelled from school just because of a small fight? From the sounds of it though it sounded like Bella came out on top. I couldn't help but feel some pride in her for that. I must have projected that because Peter gave me a knowing smile while Carlisle frowned at me.

"I understand completely Mrs Green," Said Carlisle, "I'll be right there."

"I'm going to go get the story from Bella, then see if I can't just get her an after school detention. She's never been a problem before and knowing Bella she was probably provoked." Said Carlisle standing up.

"Carlisle," I said before he could leave, "Isabella doesn't know that we are here, I wanted to surprise her so please don't tell her." I asked politely.

"Not a problem Jasper." He replied before shutting the door.

When Bella told me that she had a fat lip though it took all my power not to go down to her school and do my own damage to the girl that hurt My Mate. This was ridiculous, this was supposed to be a great day, I was finally going to have Isabella back in my arms and then this shit happens. I wasn't even going to punish her for the jail stunt because I wanted our reunion to be perfect.

Peter and I continued to make small talk with Esme until I heard Carlisle's car in the driveway. I wanted to rush out and meet Isabella, but I stayed in my seat. I wanted to get a feel on her emotions first.

It seemed like hours before I heard the front door open and heard the sound of her feet running through the door. I could feel that she was anxious, excited, and in disbelief. There was no guilt or fear coming off her which is what I wanted. I didn't want her to be afraid of me.

I looked up as she came into the kitchen. I could see where she got hit on the lip and I had to supress a growl. It wasn't bad though, just a small cut. We made eye contact and that was all it took, I stood up from my chair as she flung herself into my arms. "Jasper! Your here! I missed you so much!" I could feel her love for me radiating through her body. God I missed her more than I realized.

I lifted her chin so that she was looking me in the eyes, then lowered my mouth to hers and kissed her with everything I had in me. I also sent her a wave of my love for her so she could feel what I felt. She moaned into my mouth and it was all I could do to not take her there on the kitchen floor. I could feel Peter's impatience and knew he was ready to leave and get his Mate home.

Reluctantly I pulled away from Isabella. I kissed her cheeks and then her nose. "Go get your stuff darlin' we need to go." I told her gently.

She leaned up and gave me one last kiss before heading upstairs with Charlotte. I could hear Charlotte moving around up there at vampire speed to get Isabella's things packed. Apparently Isabella packing would have taken longer than necessary. About a minute later they were both back in the kitchen, Isabella's bag on Charlotte's shoulder. They leaned in and gave Esme a hug goodbye and then we were in my car on our way back to where we belonged. My house.


First, keep in mind that Jasper is Dark and Dominate, meaning he is a hard ass all around. He isn't going to sugarcoat things. Also, Charlotte promised to never do anything that would cause Bella to get in trouble. She will not break that promise, hence why she put her dare on hold, but do not worry- she will be collecting on her dare soon :) Her and Bella together might equal trouble but it also means having a hell of a good time, even if sometimes they do pay for it later.

Onto Bella. First, her punishment for eavesdropping wasn't unwarranted. She had the intention of listening in on Jasper's conversation and she had already been warned about that once. Also Jasper may have been angry when he punished her but he was not out of control. So he wouldn't have given her more than she could have handled. Right now Bella is still very confused about a lot of things, and until her and Jasper have their talk that's not going to change. But we will be exploring her mind more as the story progresses.

She's not exactly "walking on eggshells", but she is 'learning the ropes' so to speak. Yes she is afraid of messing up and getting punished but obviously that doesn't stop her from doing what she wants. Making mistakes is how she learns.

With her very first punishment she definitely did not agree to the terms that Jasper had laid out for her. Hence, her punishment. To me, I did not consider that abuse, that was Jasper showing her that he was in charge. Remember he is Dark and Dominate and also a bit of an ass sometimes. That was just one of the ways to show that dark side of him. Also, Bella wants to please Jasper and later on came to terms with it because she knew that was something that wasn't going to change. She could either accept it or fight it. But the pull in her and her feelings for Jasper made her accept it.

I'm afraid that Jasper really isn't going to change. He's not called the "God of War" for nothing. Bella will get to see a softer/gentler side of him later on but as far as keeping her in line, he isn't going to let her get away with anything.

*Everything that I know is either through experience or things that I have learned through lots and lots of research ;) I do live the DD lifestyle, but not with a vampire, sadly :(*

Oh and just something funny- in the earlier episodes of 'I love Lucy' Lucy gets spanked by Ricky lol :)

Hope that helps, once again ya'll are the best! :)
