AussieGirl: Thanks! You are the most frequent reviewer! Love it!
Mira SeverusSirius Black-Snape: lol how did I make you cry?
bellacullen0711: Thanks! Right now my updates are kind of random but I usually plan on updating every two days.
Tinkerbear: Thank you! I love your enthusiasm! And there is a LOT more to it.
AussieGirl: Yes she should be like Nessie it's part of my plot. Don't worry ;)
: haha I will!
Nijer: When I first read Twilight I always pictured Jasper as a ginger with a goatee and wearing a red tracksuit all the time. Then when I saw Jackson Rathbone I started liking him more. And it just wouldn't be enough drama if Edward was the daddy.
Tshepo: You should be scared for them. Jasper is going to be so confused!
Sheened: Thanks for reviewing! I will never take offense to Caps Lock! MY OLD COMPUTER USED TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME! IT WAS SO ANNOYING! And I think it's wrong because Nessie was only a few MINUTES old. Here Paul is still young because he doesn't age. So really he is only two years older because all those years between BD and this story felt like only a few months to him. Well maybe like two years instead of thirteen. I think it was gross and wrong between Jake and Nessie and Quil and Claire because they were only babies. Riley is sixteen so it isn't as wrong in my mind. I was going to have another character Imprint on Riley but I just liked Paul so much that I decided I'll go with him. If you any questions feel free ask! I might answer faster if it's a PM.
Teamcullen: Thanks! I tried to drop hints without it being too obvious.
Jellybelly: Yes she should be like Nessie it's part of my plot. Don't worry ;)
Tala Peirce: Thanks! I hope it stays good. I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up! Nothing worse than when you're in the middle of a good story and then the author screws it up and you're just like "WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA A HAPPENED?!"
Ihavenoideawhattocallmyself: Haha I will. I tried to make it subtle but at the same time obvious!
Sndoles: Ugh! He did not know and I wrote this great chapter about him finding out and then my computer deleted it! So now this chapter sucks. And you're good at reading foreshadowing!
Mira SeverusSirius Black-Snape: Yep!
Kelfa: Thank you! Keep reviewing!
Ihavenoideawhattocallmyself: You guessed right! I made the daddy Jasper because I can't see Carlisle doing that to Esme or Edward. I can see it with Jasper though. And the storyline is going to be full of surprises! And this story came to me in a dream and in my dream the daddy was Mike Newton but then when I woke up I realized that story would suck. HA poor Mike! And Bella wouldn't sign the papers so easily. You're right. You'll see what I have planned for that later ;)
Bella P.O.V.
"Bella, why are you bringing this up?" Jasper asked looking scared. I knew he regretted what we did. Every time I was near him the emotions he couldn't keep in rolled off him and onto me.
"Because there's something I never told you." I sat on his bed.
"Bella do we have do this now? I thought we put this behind us. It was a mistake. I'm over it let's just forgot it." Jasper said firmly. I wanted to forget about that night just as much as he did. I wanted to get up and leave the room and run back to the cottage to be with Edward. I wanted to leave it all behind me like I did sixteen years ago. But I couldn't. It was hard to leave her the first time around but I wasn't ready to be a mother. I told myself it was the right thing to do. That she would be better off. But now that I knew she wasn't, I couldn't just let her go.
"Yes. Yes we do. Something important came up."
"What came up?"
"Actually it wasn't something that came up. It was someone." My voice broke and pulled my knees in close to me.
"What do you mean someone?" Jasper asked in a dangerously calm voice.
"You left me." I mumbled.
"You had a kid." He muttered. I'd never been able to surprise Jasper. No one had ever been able to surprise Jasper. He knew everything, or guessed everything. Even Edward was surprised sometimes, when things popped into people's minds that he'd never thought of. Jasper was so in tune to a person's emotions and their tells that he could never be blindsided.
"Yes." I mumbled into my knees.
"Bella look at me." I didn't look at him. His voice was full of venom and anger.
"Look at me." This time he yelled.
"Jasper calm down." I whispered.
"BELLA LOOK AT ME DAMMIT!" He shouted. I slowly looked up at him and I hated what I saw. His face was contorted into a mask of fury. His golden eyes shined with anger that I'd never seen there before. He looked like a vampire.
"Jasper, I'm so sorry."
"You didn't tell me." His voice shook.
"You wanted to put it behind us." I cried out in defense my voice breaking. "You didn't want to talk about it. You said it was a mistake!"
His fist slammed onto the dressed breaking it in half. "THAT'S BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE CHILD! YOU NEVER TOLD ME! YOU LIED!"
"How was I supposed to tell you? You were gone! You left me! I woke up one morning and you were gone! Do you know how much that hurt?" I screamed back at him.
"Maybe as hurt as not knowing you had a kid out there somewhere!"
"What was I supposed to do? Walk around the world calling your name? I didn't know where you were! I didn't even know if you were in the country!"
"What about the fourteen years we've been back?" Jasper yelled as he started pacing around the room.
"You never talked to me about it! You wanted us to put it behind us. I was too scared to bring it up!"
"Scared of what?" He stopped abruptly then picked up something from a shelf on the wall and crushed it in his hand. "Scared I'd do that to it?"
I shook my head heatedly. "Of course not. I was scared you woulx act like you are now!"
"And how am I acting now?" He asked.
"Like a bastard." I told him and then regretted it. I never swore and I absolutely never swore at someone.
If my words hurt him though he didn't show it. Emmett had a potty-mouth so I assumed he was used to it. "And after I acted like this? After we had this argument what did you expect I'd do?"
I stayed quite for a moment. "I don't know. I never pictured after the fight. What are you going to do?"
He ignored me. "You never plan ahead do you?"
"Guess not."
"You were afraid of Edward." He said knowledgably. "You were afraid he'd leave you."
"It wouldn't be the first time he's done so." I whispered thinking about the time Edward had left me broken.
"And if you're so terrified about him leaving you then why tell me now?" Jasper asked.
"She was never adopted." I uncurled myself and started twisting my hands.
Jasper looked sad for a second then resumed his stubborn and angry expression and resumed pacing.
"And why does that matter now? She's 16, you want to adopt her?"
"I want something. Jasper listen to me," I said as Jasper started to sneer. "She came here today, Jasper I said listen to me." I said frustrated as he opened his mouth to say something. "You can talk when I'm done. Charlie brought her here to me. She found him last night and he took her to La Push—"
"He took her across the boundary?" Jasper yelled looking upset.
"Jasper ssshhh! He never knew who the father was! He didn't understand what he was doing was against the treaty. Sam and the pack explained everything to her. She had a small freak out but that was it. She took it very well."
"Well thank God, for Sam and his mutts." Jasper interrupted quickly.
"JASPER! Will you let me finish?" I yelled frustrated. He waved his hand and shrugged. "Good now as I was saying, she knows. She doesn't care. I don't think she really cares about us."
"Wonder why." He muttered sarcastically.
I let out a scream of hindrance and fell back against the bed. "Shut up Jasper!" I cried.
"Fine, this time I'll be quiet." Jasper muttered sitting down on the bed next to where I lay.
I spoke the ceiling not sure if I could look at his face right now. "She seemed fine, she seemed happy and normal. She talked and then I had to find out from Charlie that she was never adopted. No one told me. I thought if no one took her in then someone would call or write and tell me—"
Even though I couldn't see his face I knew Jasper opened his mouth to say something so I took a pillow and swung it to his face and he muttered a small "Ow." And stayed quite.
"She needed me to sign emancipation papers. She wanted out of the foster-care system. She's going to be living on her own. I tried to help her, I asked if she needed money or a place to stay but she told me that she didn't need me anymore. I've never felt worse pain than that. Then Edward and Renesmee came in and she told them she was nobody. She thought I didn't care about her and I do. I love her and I wanted to tell her but she left." I said the last part and I gasped for the air I didn't need anymore.
Jasper was quite for a long time before he asked in a sarcastic voice, "Can I talk now?"
"Can you do that without interrupting yourself?" I asked coldly.
"Haha."
"What were you going to say?"
"So you're going adopt her?"
I sat up and hugged a pillow to my chest. "I don't know. I'm going to do something. I have to do something. I'm going to go after her. I'm not going to leave her on her own."
Jasper took another pillow and started to pick out feather from it. "Why are you telling me this?" He asked quietly.
"Because. Riley's your daughter. I've made up my mind and I'm going to go after her. Edward can't read my mind. He won't know you're her father if you choose you don't want anything to do with her. I can put up a shield around your mind so he won't be able to tell. It's your choice."
Jasper stayed quiet and continued to pluck feathers and then he smiled and whispered, "Riley."
"She looks exactly like you. With my brown eyes." I told him, he smiled more broadly at this.
"I'm her father. I'm going to act like one."
"I'm glad."

Paul P.O.V.
"Paul, I need to talk with you." Sam said putting a hand on my shoulder. I shoved it off.
"Do you have too?" I whined knowing what this was about. "Can't you just change a diaper or something?
Sam knocked the muffin out of my hand onto the floor and growled.
"Sam that's good food!" Embry said looking down at the floor.
"Embry, I'll pay you 5 bucks to eat that." Tom called.
"Awesome." Embry said picking it off the floor and eating it.
"Embry that's disgusting." Leah scowled.
"Yeah it has Paul germs." Dylan teased.
"Embry stop eating things off the floor, Paul come outside now." Sam commanded in his Alpha voice. I groaned but obeyed.
We stomped out to the backyard and I turned to face him. Although years had gone by our bodies stayed the same as they were when we first phased and we looked and felt the same.
"You explained everything to Riley last night?" He asked sounding amused. I had made it known that I despised Imprinting and how it made us guys a bunch of lovesick puppy dogs and I knew the pack was taking great pleasure that I had imprinted.
When I first looked into Riley's eyes, everything else had melted away and then it felt like I was tied to all of the things I loved with stronger bonds, like steel cables and everything was connected to Riley. And I had to admit, I hated it. I hated being bound to someone I didn't know and I hated how clearer and brighter the world looked. I mean it was great, everything seemed amazing but I wanted the world to seem amazing because I said so. Not because some weird wolf magic thing.
"Yeah, I explained it to her." I said annoyed.
"Everything?"
"Well the stories told her most of it."
Sam rolled his eyes. "The stories didn't mention anything about imprinting."
"Yeah well, I might have glazed over that part but I told her about the Cullen's."
Sam was really annoyed now. "Paul! You have to go talk to her! The fact that she didn't freak-out over the fact that we were shape-shifters means she has guts!
"If I told her last night it would have freaked her out." I kicked a clump of dirt up from the ground messing up Emily's lawn. Sam scowled
"Em's going to kill you. And what do you expect to do? Never tell her? If you're absent from your imprint too long then you and her will both start to feel pain and sickness."
"You would be an expert." I told him kicking the clump as we continued to walk.
"Things worked out for the best."
"Yep, you have your snotty brats and Leah finally stopped being a bitch when she met Carter."
Sam hit me upside the head. "Leave my kids out of it."
"Whatever. How could I imprint on her? She's a leech's kid. And she probably carries around the filth gene with her." I said with disgust then gasped when a sudden pain in my chest erupted.
"Not pleasant insulting your imprint is it?" Sam said gravely.
"No." I spat rubbing my hand over my heart.
"It can't be fought."
"Maybe you just didn't fight hard enough." I suggested, immediately I regretted it. We had all seen how much he fought against it in his mind as well as Leah's.
"You want to repeat that?" He asked coldly.
I growled.
Sam laughed.
"She lives in Portland." I said glumly. "She's too far away. Maybe it can break with long-distance."
"Remember Victoria? We chased her through the Canada, Jared and I's imprints didn't break."
"Yeah well."
Sam sighed in frustration. I knew I was being stubborn, but I couldn't help but feel like I was being forced into something I didn't want even though I already loved her.
Riley living so far away and being Bella's daughter was the most imprint drama the pack had, had since Sam.
After that bloodsucker Bella's wedding Jake had spent a week moping around and then Sam ordered him out of the house and when he went to Quil's store he met Morgan. Morgan was a weirdo. Not even Jake denied it. She was a scientist and studied life so she was always running on these weird experiments and when she found out about the pack she was torn between awe and lethal anger because it wasn't science. She accepted the imprint without even thinking about it. The pack didn't have a pattern with our genes but she was always running tests on Jake to see if there was anything. She also thought marriage was too mainstream so Jake and she were just an exclusive couple. She did all these eccentric paintings and she once had a sudden urge to become a basketball player so she trained for an entire year before she quit because she was too short.
A few months after that Leah found Carter. He was this Gymnast from Colorado and moved here to train in Seattle. He moved in with his uncle on the reservation and one day Leah was walking around town being her normal bitchy self when she imprinted. It took Leah forever to build up the nerve to talk to him (girls, psshhh) and when she did she blew the pack secret on the second date. Carter had a freak-out moment (who could blame him?) and Leah just collapsed sobbing hysterically about Sam and Emily and every secret she had and instead of running away Carter wrapped his arms around her and comforted her. They married two years later.
Brady imprinted on this little Asian Ballerina named Dana. She was short and cute and much too nice for him. They dated for a year and he never told her about imprinting or the pack and when Collin accidently let something slip, she had this huge tantrum that we still tease her about. She refused to contact him for a week and then she went running back to him.
And then there was me.
The hot-head werewolf who's been in the pack since it started. Never moving on, never aging, never doing anything in my life. Just making ass-hat remarks and having trouble keeping his temper cool. And then this off-spring of a leech-lover enters his life and now he's completely confused.
"What is it that you hate so much about imprinting? It worked out fine for the rest of us." Sam said shaking his head.
"It takes away the choices. Everything is different because of her. Everything is nicer and neater and I know how I feel about everything. It's horrible." I shuddered.
Sam looked at me and then burst out laughing. I aimed a punch at him but he dodged easily. "You're upset because you're happy?"
"You don't just get it." I muttered.
"Nope. Afraid I don't get it." he said smiling.
"You're a prick."
"Yeah yeah. Just don't say that around the kids." He jogged back into the house still laughing.
I picked up the clump of dirt and threw it a few dozen years into the forest mumbling a few curse words at Sam.

Alice P.O.V.
"Wouldn't this be beautiful on Nessie?" Rosalie asked holding up a blue dress. Bella was still hopeless at shopping so Rose and I were in charge of clothes. Even if we bought more than she needed. We were aunties though, we could spoil her all we wanted.
I nodded eagerly. "She looks so good in blue."
"She looks pretty in everything can't we leave." Emmett whined. Rosalie laughed.
"You shouldn't have told me you were up for anything then." The blonde rolled her eyes.
"Next time I'll be more specific what I want." Emmett grumbled. I laughed at his disgruntled appearance when I was assaulted with a sudden vision.
Bella and Jasper were sitting in his bedroom. Bella was tucked in a little ball and her face was so distraught that if she had been human she would have surely been in tears. Jasper's face was livid. In all my years with him I had never seen him so mad. His topaz eyes blazed with fire.
"You wanted to put it behind us." Bella cried out in defense her voice breaking. "You didn't want to talk about it. You said it was a mistake!"
Jasper's fist slammed onto the dressed breaking it in half. "THAT'S BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE CHILD! YOU NEVER TOLD ME! YOU LIED!"
"How was I supposed to tell you? You were gone! You left me! I woke up one morning and you were gone! Do you know how much that hurt?" Bella screamed back at him.
"Maybe as hurt as not knowing you had a kid out there somewhere!" Jasper yelled.
"What was I supposed to do? Walk around the world calling your name? I didn't know where you were! I didn't even know if you were in the country!" She yelled back.
"What about the fourteen years we've been back?" Jasper yelled as he started pacing around the room.
"You never talked to me about it! You wanted us to put it behind us. I was too scared to bring it up!"
"Alice! Alice what did you see?" Rosalie's panicked voice asked me frantically. I dimly noticed that I had fallen over in the empty department of the store. I was on my knees and I was shaking. Something I had never done in all my years of being a vampire. I'd never been in so much pain before.
"Alice what happened?" Emmett asked his voice soothing as he pulled my hair back from my eyes.
"He went to her." I whimpered as my body shook with tremors of pain. I felt betrayed, he betrayed me with my bestfriend. We weren't bestfriends at the time. I had left her and she thought that I hated her. She was wrong but she couldn't know that. I had kept tabs on her. When I saw her in an awful place emotionally I sent Jasper to her.
"Who went to who?" Rosalie asked holding my hand. I gripped on tightly needing all the support I could get.
"I sent him to her." He had spent a month with her. He left me for a month. Jasper and I were going through a rough patch at the time and when I saw her reaching life slipping out of her clutches I sent Jasper to her because he was closer. I waited a month for him to come back. I wondered everyday why he was taking so long getting back. Now I knew.
"You sent who? Is this about Jasper?" Rosalie asked. I let out a small scream at the sound of his name. It felt like I had been stabbed in the back and someone had dragged the knife upwards and twisted it deep into my heart.
"Is he okay?" Emmett asked concerned for his brother.
"Bella." I spit out and my heart hurt more thinking of how she betrayed me. How she looked into my eyes for 16 years knowing that she betrayed me.
"What about Bella and Jasper?" Rosalie asked her voice using a high-pitch. I must really be freaking them out but I couldn't help it right now. As she said their names I flinched.
"What's going to happen Alice?" Emmett sounded frantic now.
"It already happened. 16 years ago." I growled, surprised my natural reaction to the pain. I was a vampire though. It was hard to resist the impulse to attack first when we were in complete control of ourselves.
Emmett and Rosalie exchanged confused glances.
"Alice honey, what?" Rose asked.
"She had his kid. They had a baby." I said quietly, as another blow hit my chest. Saying it aloud made it a million times worse. I thanked God, for our vampire hearing. I might have exploded if I had to say it any louder.
"Alice, you must be mistaken." Rose said patronizing.
"I'm not. It all makes sense. We were fighting. I know he was in Forks the time she would have conceived."
"Alice, no, Jasper wouldn't do that to you." Emmett stated firmly.
"He did."
"Alice you're wrong." Emmett stated a little more harshly.
"It was clear. I've been having little flashes for weeks now. I know it's true. It's so clear." I cried leaning into Emmett.
Rose's eyes flashed. "I'm going to kill him. Oh, I'm going to kill him." She vowed.
"I'll help." Emmett growled.
"Come on, let's get out of here." Rose said soothingly setting me back on my feet. Emmett and Rosalie continued to talk but I tuned them out.
I was going through all the visions I'd had all these weeks. There was always a teenage girl who looked exactly like Jasper but with her eyes in the middle of her face.
I was surprised we arrived home so soon. As soon as I stepped into the house Edward's angry voice called out to me.
"It's not true Alice. It can't be."
"It is." I replied before running upstairs to Jasper's room. Inside it was empty except for the furniture and a note on his bed that read:
Alice,
I know you must know. I feel your emotions even when we're this far. It was a mistake. I've tried putting it behind me but I can't now. I'm trying to do the noble thing. I hope you can understand. I love you. I'll be home soon.
Love, Jasper.
I sat down on his bed and read the short note over and over again before I collapsed on the bed and started to weep while I vaguely heard Edward's angry yells from downstairs.
Author's Note: So I took a while to update this chapter. I worked really hard on the Bella and Jasper part and it was really long and I was super proud of it and then guess what? My computer SHUT OFF! I LOST IT! I was pretty upset. So I rewrote that part and now it's shorter than it was and it sucks now. *Sigh* I might try and rewrite it some other time but I was so upset that I decided to leave ya'll with the yucky chapter. You also got to read a bit of Sam and Paul. I actually think that part is better than what I originally wrote. Because the Bella and Jasper part was so short I added the Alice part. I'm happy with that part too. This is my longest chapter with all my own writing. Over 4,000 words. Anyway I plan on updating soon! Thanks for sticking with this story and please review!
