Prompt: Headache (really? After Alice and Jasper just met? They're just messin' with me now.)

Headache

"Tell me more about what you saw," Jasper said. "Tell me how you knew about me."

We were laying together after love. Our bodies tangled easily together and his large hands were stroking small circles on my back, sending lovely tremors through my body. I cuddled closer to him, drinking in his smell and just him. He was here and he was never leaving.

"At first, when I first woke up, it was just the blond haired vampire who we are looking for. I saw him almost as soon as I woke up and I saw his particular life style. I knew I was meant for that life, even though I didn't truly understand what I was yet."

He interrupted me with a kiss, passionate and sweet, scorching away the pain of my memories of solitude. He murmured for me to go on and I did.

"I stayed away from humans almost completely for the first year, hiding in the forest where I woke up. It was lonely, but the visions became clearer and I began seeing more. I saw you and I standing together beside the blond haired vampire. He has a wife, two sons and a daughter, but they weren't always with him. I know because I didn't always see his wife or the one son and daughter. The red-haired son has been with him for a very long time. They will accept us when we go to them."

"How did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Live…like that. Alone for so long knowing what was coming."

"I had distractions."

He growled possessively.

"Not like that," I soothed him. "Once I could be around humans, I sang and made clothes. It filled the void, I guess."

"But…why? It seems to desolate and lonely."

"I just had to," I said softly, sadly. "It was difficult and sometimes the visions were overwhelming. I wanted that life, and you, so badly. Sometimes the visions would overtake me so that I believed that blinding pain of missing you would drive me insane. They would leave me and I would be left with a dull ache right here." I pointed to the middle of my forehead. "A vampire headache." I giggled but he remained silent, tense.

"Why didn't you come and find me the moment you saw me?"

"You weren't ready for me then," I said, shrugging.

He moved me under him and hovered over top of me, his face inches from my own. His arms like iron girders surrounded my head, but he managed to make the prison comfortable and ever so welcome. I sighed as he stared at me.

"I would have been ready for you the moment I saw you," he said fiercely.

"No, you wouldn't. But I don't blame you for that."

His lips found mine, hungry and desperate to prove himself. He found his way into me and we moved together again gently, rocking together in a new yet familiar rhythm. He made love to me softy, almost earnestly, as he ached to prove himself to me. He came with a cry of pure love, begging me with the same breath to forgive him for making me wait.

It was my turn to hover over him, ghosting kisses over his face and murmuring promises of my own. Finally, he sighed and calmed. He cradled my face in his hands, his burgundy eyes washed in sadness and fear. I wondered who and what he feared now, but I didn't wonder for long.

"You were right in saying I wouldn't have been ready for you," he said finally. "That doesn't mean that I don't wish you had come. How can you ever forgive me for what I did before? "

"There's nothing to forgive," I said. "The past is done and I know our future."

"God, Alice, just to know I had a future like you waiting for me…it would have made it all worthwhile."

"I know," I whispered. "I wish you could have known. I am glad I knew, even if it was painful. I'm sorry I couldn't find you, but if you knew…well, that future can change, Jasper. Especially if we try too hard."

He kissed me gently, his hands wandering over my body.

"It's not going to change now, is it?"

"No, my love," I said. "I'm yours forever now."

"Forever," he whispered. "It sounds hopeful now."

"It does," I said. "Jas?"

"Hmmm?"

"Let's hunt."

A/N: Of all the rotten prompts to get for our big lemon. So, it's a small lemon. Honestly, Alice and Jasper are hot without even trying. :) Let me know what you think! I promise there will be at least one all out, hot chapter in this story. But I seriously was not doing it for a prompt of "headache." ~Jen
