Leaving Denali

We stayed in Denali for almost two months, learning little things about our family as we went and enjoying our time with our extended relatives. The entire family was gathered in the large living room when the vision hit me. I could vaguely hear the sounds of those around me panicking—they had never seen one of my visions. Jaspers voice cut through the vision as he told them what was happening. The darkness descended completely around my sight and I was in the future.

They would all be at home, except for the mind-reader…he would be on a hunting trip when we arrived. That would be best. When he and I met, there would be little room for the others. It would be best to get our talking out of the way before Edward and I met. We needed to leave now. It would give us three days to get there and then one day at the house without Edward.

I turned to Jasper when the blackness subsided and my vision returned to the present.

"It's time, Jas," I said.

He took my hand and nodded once.

"Time for what?" Kate asked desperately. "What is she talking about?"

"She's had a vision, sister," Tanya said softly. "I'm sorry our time has come to an end, but you must go where your visions lead you."

"Thank you for understanding," I said, standing up and taking her hands.

Tanya was a difficult vampire to understand, but I respected the way she protected her family. I knew in the future, she would be a strong ally for us and our family. I was glad that we were able to bond.

Jasper and I gathered our few belongings and then came back to the living room. Everyone was gathered around waiting for us. It was difficult for us to say our goodbyes, even knowing that we would see them again.

Once we were outside and on the road again, our future began swimming again.

"You're having second thoughts," I said.

"How did you know?" he asked, chuckling.

"The future got hazy; do you want to talk about it?"

"I'm fine. Still nervous about our arrival though and what life will be like staying forever with a family. I just can't imagine a life like that built on anything but fear." He took my hand and smoothed my hair back. "I know that sounds awful, but that is what my life has taught me."

I knew that this would continue to be a problem for him no matter what I said. I did the only thing I could think of. I reached up and cupped his face in my hands.

"No matter what happens, I will be with you always," I said.

"And that makes all the difference," he said.

He placed his hand over my silent chest.

"Forever," he said.

"Forever," I repeated.

I slipped my hand into his and we continued on down the road to meet our future…together.

A/N: So, I think I messed up my timeline here a bit. So, Jas and Alice were supposed to meet in '46 and then meet the Cullens in '48. So that was two years. I think its possible that I condensed the time between their marriage and the time when they set off for the Cullens a bit, but I wanted to leave this story just before the meet their new family. Hope you enjoy this short chapter. I can't promise an update tomorrow. With the holiday weekend, we may be off doing some family things. But Monday will be the last day regardless. Thanks again for reading and reviewing! ~Jen
