DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight.

Chapter. 14.

Paul left when Jasper turned up. I was glad to find him sat on my bed even when he was emitting strong waves of worry. The second he saw me he scooped me up and sat me down on my bed, stoking my hair and breathing my scent in deeply.

"I'm sorry I stayed with the wolves, I should have come back with you, I should have made sure you were safe, I should have checked your house out, I'm so sorry Darlin'." I looked up at Jasper's worry clouded face and kissed his lips softly. I felt him relax under my touch as he kissed me back; it was nice to know I could calm him as well as he could calm me. I pulled away from him and rested my forehead against his.

"I'm just glad you're here now, and anyway, I like the fact that you and the wolves were getting on, it's nice to have that balance." He smiled at me but I could still feel the worry rolling off him. "Jasper, stop already, you don't have to be with me twenty-four/seven, especially when there's someone else that can look out for me. I'm fine, I didn't get hurt, I was just afraid and believe it or not, Paul isn't so bad at making a person feel safe. I'm just glad you're here now and I can get some sleep in the arms of my most favourite protector." I kissed him one more time before lying down and pulling him with me. I rested my head on his chest as he continued to stroke my hair.

"I know, I was glad that in my absence it was Paul that was with you, he does have a need to protect you that I understand, although I hope he knows that protecting you is my job." I could hear the jealousy in his voice and it made me giggle. It was nice that in such a scary time Jasper could still feel something as trivial as jealousy.

"Don't worry Jasper, I don't need anyone but you." His grin showed me I had said the right thing, and his kiss showed me that he felt the same. I didn't know such passion could be passed through a kiss, but I was glad that it was with Jasper I was feeling so intensely, instead of Paul. He pulled away after a moment and got himself comfortable.

"Get some sleep Darlin', I'll be right here when you wake up." I felt Jaspers peace, his feeling of serenity wash over me and I smiled as my eyes fluttered closed, unable to stay open and awake any longer.

I looked around and couldn't help the grin that lit up my face. I knew that this was where I was meant to end up all along. Walking down the beautiful trail made especially for me, with all the people I love around me.

I smiled up at my father as he led me down my aisle, a tear rolling down his cheek because he knew he was saying goodbye to his little girl, although I wasn't exactly little anymore.

I couldn't help my eyes moving upwards, couldn't help the grin that spread across my face when I saw him. He looked so devastatingly handsome and I couldn't believe that he was mine. He watched me as I walked in sync with the music towards him, his eyes never left mine and I could tell that he could only see me, 'no one else matters when you're in the room Bella', his words from the time when things were so complicated.

It seemed like forever and only a second before my father was handing me over to him. Without hesitation, my Dad kissed my cheek and shook the hand of the man that was to become my Husband, handing me over, finally letting his little girl go.

I couldn't hear what was said, I don't recall anything but the way he looked, so beautiful he took my breath away. His golden eyes piercing into mine, his honey blonde hair hanging in messy curls and his beautiful lips pulled up in the most amazing smile.

The rings were on our fingers, we spoke the words 'I do' and now he could kiss me. A breath taking kiss filled with Passion and Love. Our emotions combined rolling off of us and onto our loved ones, somewhere deep in my mind I heard the collective gasp as they all felt what we were feeling. But I couldn't find it in me to care or take notice. At that moment the only thing I cared about was his lips on mine.

And that finally, after everything I was Mrs Isabella Marie Whitlock.

I woke up with a gasp, jumping into the air. I was gasping for breath through the feelings that were still running through me from my dream. It had all felt so real, the warmth from my Dad, the coolness of Japers lips on mine, the strength of love that I felt for him, stronger than I'd ever felt anything before. And the strangest thing was that I wanted the dream to be real, more than anything, I wanted to be that woman from my dream.

Jasper sat up with me and started smoothing out my hair. He looked confused and for some strange reason I wanted him to know every detail of my dream.

"Bella, were you dreaming of Edward?" It was my turn to be confused, what in God's name would make him think that? He could clearly sense my confusion as he spoke again. "There was just so much love pouring off you that I couldn't believe you would dream of anyone else." I could hear something in his tone, like disappointment and jealousy; it made me wonder what he had to feel like that about.

"No I wasn't dreaming of Edward, actually he wasn't even there." I could see Jasper's face light up a little before he controlled himself.

"What were you dreaming of then? If you don't mind me asking." I couldn't think straight, my mind kept going back into my dream.

"It was just so real, I could feel everything like I was actually there, I could see everything just as clearly as I do now. We were so happy, everyone was, I've never seen everyone smile so much."

"Bella, who's 'everyone'? Who's 'we'?" I looked up at him, how could he not get it?

"Everyone Jasper. Our families, our friends." He looked at me for a second before it dawned on him.

"Our as in…Me and you?" I smiled and nodded enthusiastically. He got it. "What were we doing?" He was smiling now and I could feel hope coming from him.

"We were getting married." The smile that spread across his face was almost as big and as beautiful as the one from my dream.

"Wow. I can't believe you dreamed about us getting married. I love that you dreamed about us getting married."

"So do I." He grinned at me and pulled me back down to lie against him.

"Maybe we will someday." He whispered the words but I heard them perfectly and they made me smile.

"If we feel anything for each other like we did in the dream, then I don't know why I'd marry anyone else." We stayed silent after that and being in Jasper's arms while thinking about my dream, it didn't take me long to get back to sleep.

I was disappointed when I woke up and I hadn't had another dream like the last but the disappointment was washed away when Jasper kissed me.

"Good morning beautiful." I curled further into his arms and kissed him deeply.

"Good morning." I knew I had to get up, it was Monday and I had school, so I dragged myself away from the comfort of Jasper's arms and the warmth of my bed. I grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom to shower and change. When I was done I made Jasper come downstairs with me as Charlie was still in bed. I made breakfast and when I was only one bite into my cereal Jasper kissed me and left. A few seconds later, Charlie came down the stairs.

"Morning Bells." He looked at the still hot breakfast I had put at his place on the table and grinned.

"Morning dad." He was already digging into his food and making me laugh at the way he stared at it like he was in love with it before he ate a bite.

"Have I ever told you how awesome your cooking is?" He asked as he finished up his plate and washed it.

"I think a few times."

"Well, I'm gonna say it again, you are an amazing cook Bella, you should think about becoming a chef or something." I got up and passed him my bowl and he washed it.

"Thanks dad, I'll think about it." I went back upstairs to get a wash and my bag before heading out to school. Jasper was already sat in my truck when I got outside.

"Your Father's right, you are an amazing cook. By the way you look after your home, if you lived back in my human days you would have made an excellent house wife." I grinned at Jasper and his innuendo.

"Wife, huh Jasper? You tryna tell me something there?" I winked at him and he smiled back, but there was a seriousness in his eyes.

"You should know I would love for you to become Mrs Isabella Marie Whitlock." I smiled at him and at the name as it reminded me of my dream.

"But in my eyes you have to love someone to want to marry them Jasper." The smile and the seriousness never left his expression.

"Exactly." He kissed my cheek softly and then jumped out of my truck just before I rounded the corner to school.

I was distracted all day by what Jasper said, he was insinuating that he loved me, enough to marry me in fact and it scared me a little. I was still suffering from everything with Edward and I wasn't sure I was ready to love again. Yet, at the same time I was thrilled to hear that Jasper may feel that way for me and deep down I admitted to myself that there was a huge possibility that I was starting to feel something close to love for him also.

My admissions scared me the most, but I didn't want to run away from them, I wanted to embrace them, even if it would be secretly.

And a small part of my mind wondered if the way I was feeling for him was the reason I always seemed to feel what he was feeling even if it wasn't a strong emotion.

I'm sorry that it's short, but I had to put this out there. A bit off fluff between Jasper and Bella so then we can all see how their relationship is progressing, even if she's only just realised it.

Thanks for reading. Leave your thoughts.
