Previously...

"Jazz." I whispered as I bit my lip hard when I felt his hand slide under the waistband of my jeans and pushed back into him. He always made me feel so amazing. It was then he spoke, "I love you."

"I love you too." I answered back turning my face to the right to meet his lips. He met mine hungrily then pulled back with a smile tilting his head. I knew what he was doing and he knew I couldn't resist, not now, not like this. It was cruel, and mean, and oh my god I couldn't resist. I heard him moan as soon as I bit him and my world came crashing down in more ways than one. He is the devil reincarnated and I love him. I felt him pull me close and my world was Jasper.

My life is perfect chaos. I have been practicing with Jasper to control these powers I have, it seems when I get emotional they seem to get out of control. I also have noticed I am an emotional eater, go figure? He gets me in the mood and wham I want to feed. So much for romance, although he says it is romantic he is always prepared for me. I am the only one around here who feeds from a human, well kind of. He's not really human and the blood he shares is animal blood so if you got technical I guess....

Well, I haven't heard from our old friend Demetri as I like to call him, I hear he has been around and I know he is coming for me and most of all for Jasper and that scares me.

"Can you stop." I heard from across the room and turned to see Edward frowning.

I shrugged, "Sorry."

He smirked, "I understand being worried, but it will all be fine." I inhaled deeply playing with my necklace running my hand over the symbol and wondering how my grandmother knew so many things. I could only wish to be as smart as she was. I missed her. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up.

Carlisle looked serious, "We must speak."

"Ok."

Edward was immediately beside him and I had a feeling this wasn't something I was going to like. I followed them down a long hallway and down some stairs I have never been down before. It was dark but it didn't bother my eyes. I stopped and I felt Edward's hands reassuringly on my hips. I continued to follow until I saw the faint light hidden by a door and followed them inside.

Edward closed the door and I looked around, it looked like a lab of some sort, with all kinds of medical supplies and a bed. Carlisle inhaled deeply, "There is something I must do sweetheart, and I am not sure you will like it."

I turned, "What?"

He cupped my cheek, "You are such a sweet girl, and you are handling this all so well. Demetrius is going to the Vulturi we need to prove they do not want to challenge your power. There is only one way to do that and it will be very painful for you."

"What would the Vulturi do?"

"Wipe us all out." Edward said toying with a syringe, "They've been looking for a reason a large coven like us makes them nervous. Too many vampires together could be an issue at some point."

"What do you want from me?" I met Carlisle's eyes that were looking at the floor then Edwards that were looking into mine.

Edward moved closer resting his hands on my shoulders, "He loves you, you are his daughter and so this makes this difficult. Jasper is going to be upset. You will have to help him understand. "

I pushed him back a littler harder than expected and he flew back against the table and groaned, "Great, this will be fun." He rubbed his back.

"Just tell me Edward."

Carlisle met my eyes finally, "You were made to do great things sweetheart, Tillie wanted it that way. That is why you were made part human, but there was a catch to be stronger you needed a few alterations."

"Alterations?"

He bit his lip, "Genetic things, you know technically you are the perfect specimen but there are a few differences even after the change."

"You mean besides having to feed off of Jasper, oh and the kickin' eyes?"

"Yes, your heart still beats, though you crave blood. There is one thing I haven't mentioned that is of utmost importance that I should mention, your body thinks it is alive therefore...." He trailed off nervous. I've never seen Carlisle nervous.

I looked at him oddly.

"Therefore what?"

Edward laughed, "Daddy Carlisle, such a loss for words he means you could get pregnant little lamb. Wouldn't that be a kicker even more than the eyes?"

I looked at them both like they were nuts, ok, wait here I am a vampire, well at least I think I am suppose to be. The whole scenario is confusing to me now because Tillie messed things up and I am so confused. Carlisle smiled kissing my head, "You are my daughter, and I do love you that is what's is important. We will get to the other stuff.

"Why would she do that?"

He knew exactly what I meant. Carlisle sighed and I watched as Edward leaned on the bed smiling in amusement. He faced me, "She wanted you to have everything she didn't want this life to take away from you. She was trying to keep some symbol of life alive for you. No one knows of this, and no one can know this would be very dangerous for you and Jasper.

"Well then we'll just prevent it from happening and that will settle it, can't you tie my tubes or something like a normal female? You're a doctor." I felt like an idiot having this conversation, but lets be realistic. I'm a vampire and none of this should be happening.

He turned away, "Having a child completes your life. I can't explain it to you. It gives you a determination and drive you never had. An instinct to protect and nurture and brings you closer to Jasper. It also makes you stronger."

Edward cleared his throat, "What he is beating around the bush in trying to say little bit is remember a few days ago the great orgasm you had than shook the walls well yeah, literally they shook everything thus, you, baby nuff said."

Carlisle shot him a glare and he shrugged, "Hey, can't I tease every now and then?"

I looked at him in shock. Edward teasing was definitely new. He smiled at me, "Sorry, bad taste in a joke. I was trying to lighten the mood a little. It did shake you though." He tapped his head and winked at me.

I blushed.

Carlisle cleared his throat, "Edward we must continue we are limited on time she must prepare."

He pulled back with a look of concern in his eyes and caressed my cheek, "You will be fine, I promise."

Carlisle continued, "I brought you here because when Demetrius goes to the Vulturi they will question you, and you will be challenged. This being the case you must be ready. Tillie foresaw this possible future and prepared me but it is not pleasant for you and I cannot allow what Alice foresaw..."

He looked down distraught.

"What do you mean?"

"They can't know about you and what you can possibly do. Demetrius wants you he has no idea who you really are. He lives in the past."

I understood that, he did seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Tillie. I felt his hands on my arms, "I have to keep Jasper away from you for a few days, I have to test your power and train you. He will be very angry if he sees. Can you understand that? It is necessary I would never do anything to hurt you, never. You were made for this, and you may think you can't handle this but I promise you that you can."

I looked at Edward nervous. He took my hand, "I'll be here all of the way, I was there when Tillie went through some trials and I will be there to support you as well. You are my sister remember."

"Jasper?"

He sighed, "Emmett and the others will have to restrain him and get him away, he will freak if he hears you scream."

Somehow the word freak coming from Edward's mouth didn't fit. I knew he was right, If Jasper thought I was in trouble he would tear into the place. The thought of me screaming immediately made me swallow hard. Just what did they have planned?

Edward smiled reassuringly, "Come on, you should change into something more comfortable, most of this is mind stuff. Just always remember Tillie prepared you from birth. You are ready and you always were."

I changed into a pair of black shorts and a tank top. I put my hair up dreading this, I have no idea what was to come, but I am ready to protect my family I can do this. I walked out seeing Edward waiting patiently on me. He smiled as we walked toward Carlisle who was running around a table setting various probes up. Great I get to be a science experiment.

I lay down and he hooked all of the cables up. My hands immediately crossed my chest protectively. Edward smiled reassuringly and pulled them down to my sides securing them with a strap. I felt like a prisoner in a torture chamber.

From there it was down to business, Carlisle named off each member of the guard and what their power was. Each power he simulated on me until I was able to effectively defend myself without difficulty. It was a long and tedious process. I was exhausted when he finally let me rest. I listened to them speak.

Edward rubbed the dark purple under my eyes, "She needs to feed Carlisle."

"I can't bring Jasper in here and let him see her like this."

"You have no other option. She needs her strength. You can't keep him in the dark forever. Alice said he is going crazy not knowing."

Carlisle shook his head, "He will go ballistic."

"Wouldn't you if it were Esme?"

He nodded.

"So we let him know what's going on he is volatile yes, but he loves her. I hate to do this to him, not to mention what it is doing to her spirit."

Carlisle turned away leaning on a shelf. I could no longer see him, but there was a determination in him that I did not understand. I heard Edward behind me. I could tell he was close to him.

"She is my daughter Edward I can't let that happen to her."

"She is strong. You will train her well, and if it does happen she will be ready. Carlisle you have always done your best to prepare us for the outside world. You can't keep us safe from everything. You are pushing her too hard."

"I promised Tillie I would look after her."

"You will, but not like this. Carlisle she needs Jasper, you need to back off a little. I know you are getting to know her and I understand you love her. I know this is different than any of us because she is your flesh and blood, but you must keep your head."

I felt Edward beside me undoing my bindings, "I'm going to get Jasper sweetheart."

I nodded then grabbed his arm, "Wait." He turned and I reached out, "Put me somewhere else, if he sees me like this it won't be pretty."

He nodded lifting me and laying me on a nearby couch on a pillow and covering me with a blanket. I smiled weakly, "Thanks."

He winked, "Be right back."

I grabbed his arm, "Edward?"

He turned, "Yes?"

I pulled him and he moved closer sitting beside me. I watched him for a moment then spoke, "What did Alice see? Why is my father so afraid?"

He looked down and didn't speak. I touched his arm, "If you don't tell me, I will look myself."

He took my hand, "It would be better if you saw for yourself." I didn't have time to think before the vision hit me.

I was in some sort of dark room. The only light was the fire upon the walls. Some sort of caves I suppose. It was damp, and I was chained like an animal.

I wasn't alone. I could feel a presence, several in fact. When I looked up there was the face of the one who haunted my nightmares. Demetrius, he looked worried which was odd, he actually held a look of fear. I heard something behind me that sounded like slithering then I felt a hand grab my neck as I focused on the others standing beside Demetrius.

There were three other vampires not counting the one behind me. Cool air hit my ear, "You will tell us what you are Arelise or you will spend your last days wishing you had."

I felt him move back and a whooshing sound crack through the air before the feeling of the flesh tearing across my back penetrated my mind.

He stroked my cheek, "It doesn't have to be that way." I nodded from my vision not sure what to say. Why would Demetrius lead me here to this place? Knowing what I was thinking he sighed.

"He did not know they would test you that way. He did not intend you pain."

"Great. Looks like I am screwed either way huh?" I toyed with the blanket. He lifted my chin meeting my eyes.

"We will find a way to stop this. That was before you were prepared to fight them Arelise. This may change everything."

"So I get to keep my back for a while longer?" I groaned.

He looked at me a moment then stood, "I'll get Jasper."

He returned shortly with Jasper running to my side at once on his knees, "Gabby, oh God." He brushed my hair back. "You look so tired." He ran his thumbs over the purple under my eyes, "Oh baby." He gasped repositioning himself, "Here." He straddled me pulling my head to his neck, "Eat baby please." He whispered softly.

I couldn't deny the smell of his blood was enough to make my venom go into overdrive. Not that I would be injecting him by any means. Slipping my hands around his neck I heard the couch rip when I bit into his subtle neck. He gripped hard tensing, and after a few moments I felt him relax. He sighed resting more weight onto me and moving his hands, one on my waist and the other tangling into my hair. He sighed, "I missed you so much."

I noticed it was quiet. I knew everyone had left us alone to give us privacy. My feeding habits were quite different from their own. They tended to lead to other things even involuntarily. I was different I guess, I never needed much to sustain me, and I never rushed. I took my time and savored his taste. I sucked deeply and I felt him buck into me groaning.

"Gabby, please." He begged. I released his neck looking into his now dark eyes. His breathing was labored and his eyes held an animalistic look.

"Did I take too much?" I asked watching him and not moving.

His chest rumbled, "No."

"What did..." I started but didn't finish as his lips crashed onto mine. I felt his tongue licking the blood off of my lips. His hands were frantically removing the shorts I wore. I gripped his shoulders allowing him this moment he was worried, excited, and frightened all in one.

"I was so worried about you. They would only tell me they were preparing you."

I nodded caressing his cheek, "They have no other choice. I need to be ready and seeing this would have been too much for you." He shook his head in agreement. What else he could he do? He knew I was right. He slowed his pace resting his face in my neck.

"Gabby you seem different, something feels different."

Would he know the emotions floating around were about me? If he did would it make things better or worse? I knew Jasper had quite a temper and I certainly didn't want to make things worse. He kissed me again slower this time, with passion down my neck and down my chest lifting my shirt to expose my stomach.

His tender kisses featherlike on my ribs as he trailed lower. He sighed laying his head down on my stomach. I smiled running my fingers through his curly hair. "It will all work out Jasper, I promise." I tried to convince him. He was still tense and I could feel it.

I felt him suddenly tense more, and I could feel the waves of curiosity running off of him.

"Jasper?"

"I know you are different because of Carlisle, and because of Tillie could that mean you continue to be different? That just as you have a heartbeat your body is still alive in some form?"

I knew what he was asking. His eyes met mine with an unasked questioned and for a moment there was silence. He inhaled deeply then moved closer so he was a breath's distance from my face.

"Gabby, answer me."

I guess I should have known better than to doubt Jasper. He is too smart for his own good. I met his eyes brushing a stray hair away, "Carlisle seems to think that I will be able to carry a child."

I watched the look on his face, it was one of wonder. He ran a hand across my stomach as he spoke, "I'm not sure how to react to that possibility. I never thought I would be a father."

"We don't have to. I mean if you don't want to. I would never force you into anything. It's not like we have to make the decision now or anything." I said with a smile.

He nodded kissing my nose. "I don't know if I could handle eating for two of you." He teased. I slapped his shoulder playfully and he looked back down at my stomach again with a smile.

"Perhaps I could arrange something."

He softly ran his hand over my stomach. It was kind of sweet, I've never seen Jasper as maternal and seeing him this way was interesting. He met my eyes and leaned back over me tilting his head.

"You need to feed."

"I was finished."

"No you weren't I interrupted you. Its fine my love, I was just anxious because I have not seen you, forgive me. Please, feed." He ran his finger down my chin.

"Please, you need to feed."

He was right, I was still hungry and I did need to continue especially if Carlisle was going to continue to subject me to these terrible tests which he was.

Holding his neck on the opposite side I gently bit him again, this time he was relaxed and laid me back, leaning over me and allowing me to feed easily. I could feel his hands running through my hair lightly. It was such a soothing feeling. He was much more relaxed than before. I didn't feel anything but calm from him.

When I was sated I released his neck and smiled meeting his eyes. He smiled kissing me softly.

"I suppose since you are expending so much energy I'll have to eat more now?"

I giggled stretching lazily. I was tired and I just wanted to curl up against him and relax. The seduction from before was forgotten and to be honest I was glad. Although I love being with him, just being in his arms is always more than enough. He is always enough. He pulled the blanket around us and pulled me into his side where I was happy to curl up.

I knew we wouldn't have long before this would be over and I didn't want to waste a moment of it. Snuggling close I closed my eyes and stayed that way until I heard the sounds of footsteps and knew it was time for us to be parted again.
