A/N: As for this chapter, I do not condone baby snatching in any form- vampire or otherwise ;)

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story line, SM owns the characters I'm just having fun with them.

Peter POV
Boise, Idaho, September 1987

Eddie, have you seen my Van Halen t-shirt? You know, the one we got at that concert last month?

"Yeah, Pete- I put it in the washer. You had blood on it. Why?" It never ceased to amaze me how Edward could carry on a mental and verbal conversation across the house without missing a note on his piano. I guess you could say he was slightly obsessed when it came to his music.

"I wanna wear it to the club tonight. Can I borrow your hairspray?" I loved the 80's. They were my favorite decade so far. Eddie had more fun in the 50's but I was born with 80's hair and I looked good in stonewash jeans.

"Yeah, just don't use it all up like you did last time. I need some too." Whatever. His hair looked the same no matter what decade we were in. He did manage to slick it back some when pomade was fashionable, but for the most part he looked like he just came running in at full speed. "My hair looks fine. You're just jealous Pete. I get all the attention from the ladies."

"You sure do and that's just fine with me. Fuck whoever you want to as long as it keeps me off their radar. You know there's only one woman and one man for me and I ain't met her yet and I ain't seen him in 40 years so you're the only one who's gettin' lucky around here." Thinking of Jasper always brought the ache in my chest back into sharp focus but I tried to push it away so Eddie wouldn't catch my thoughts.

I wondered if he missed me as much as I missed him and why he hadn't looked for me yet. We ran across the Cullens' path from time to time and Jasper always left me something with his scent and a few times he left me pictures or a short note. Nothing telling me where he was going or asking to see me but I guess I had to be grateful he thought of me at all.

Right on cue the pain flared up, but this time felt different. I felt the constant ache and tugging from Jasper just like always but there was a new sharp pain pulling me in the other direction, northwest I think. I felt a sense of urgency and for the life of me I could not figure out what it was. Just then, Edward burst into the room with my shirt in his hand and his eyes open wide. "Pete, let's go! That's your other mate! It has to be!" What? Is it possible? But why would the pain be so sharp and the urgency practically dragging me out the door unless-

"She needs me! We have to move NOW! I'm runnin'." Forgetting my shoes and the fact I had no shirt on, I turned myself over to my instincts and ran a straight line as fast as I could in the direction I was being pulled. Edward caught up to me quickly of course and I was grateful for his company since I had no idea what to expect when I reached my mate. My mate. I knew deep down it was true. The pain was easing the closer I got to the unknown destination, although the sense of urgency had not let up at all.

I'm not sure how long we ran before I was pulled to a stop outside a house on the edge of the forest. It was a simple two-story house in bad need of a paint job. I didn't smell any vampires around so my mate must still be human. I listened to the house and I could tell Edward was checking for thoughts as well. I heard a baby screaming upstairs and the sound pierced straight to my soul. Was it possible? Was she the one? I crept around the side of the house and found the window open on the second floor. I jumped silently through and took in my surroundings. There was a wooden rocking chair next to the window and a simple wooden crib on the wall next to the door. The room was painted a drab yellow color but there were no other decorations in the room to indicate the tastes of the couple or their love for the baby who lived here.

A man downstairs was yelling, "Renee! Shut that baby up before I go up there and do it myself! I can't hear the damn game." I could hear who I assumed was "Renee" snoring in the room across the hall so she wouldn't be in here anytime soon. There was no one else in the house other than Edward who came in the window behind me.

I made my way to the crib and found myself looking into a tiny porcelain face with huge brown eyes. I hit my knees immediately, this was it. She was it. I briefly wondered if this was how Jasper felt when he found me but my attention was quickly brought back to the tiny girl in front of me. Edward hissed at me when I reached for her, "What are you doing?" But when I picked her up and brought her to my chest she immediately stopped crying and I was filled with an overwhelming sense of peace.

"Pete, I need to tell you something, but I'm not sure I should do it while you're holding that baby." Edward whispered to me. Well, I ain't puttin' her down any time soon so just spit it out already. "Um, the man downstairs, he's her father. And... he's drunk. If she hadn't stopped crying he was going to come up here and I'm honestly not sure what he would have done."

I focused on the fragile bundle in my arms and took a deep breath of her sweet strawberry scent. She didn't make me thirsty at all; her scent was just as calming as Jasper's had always been. I can't leave her here Eddie, what am I supposed to do? "Bring her with us. What else? I can hear you, I know you won't be separated from her and, honestly, she deserves better than these people. I can smell cocaine and marijuana in here and her father is obviously an angry drunk. If you leave her here you'll end up eating him for supper. Just grab her and we'll run home, ok? We'll figure something out."

I looked at him in shock. He really was a great kid, my little brother in every way he could be. Thank you. You have no idea what this means to me. Just- thank you. He nodded at me and whispered back, "Look, if we save her from what we both went through then it's worth it to me. She may not have a father but I'll be the best big brother she could ever ask for. And who can take care of her better than her mate? Come on, let's get out of here before someone catches us ok?"

I looked around the room to find a blanket to wrap her in and noticed her hospital bracelet sitting on the dresser. I grabbed it so we would at least know her name, along with some threadbare clothes that were sitting in the drawers. I couldn't find a blanket anywhere until I noticed Edward still holding my Van Halen t-shirt in his fist. Hey- hand me my shirt, I'll put that around her. It's better than nothing right? Seeing nothing else in the room of value we stripped the sheet off the bed and used it to wrap her clothes and diapers in. I knew we would have to find some bottles or something to feed her when we got home but for now we needed to disappear.

She began to whimper when I pulled her away from my chest to wrap the shirt around her but quieted again when I tucked her face into my neck. She took a deep breath and sighed before going back to sleep in my arms. Eddie nodded toward the window and I walked over and looked down. I was nervous about jumping while holding her but there wasn't much else I could do. I stepped gingerly out the window and landed as carefully as I could on the grass below. When Edward landed beside me we took off running back home.

Jasper POV
I was out hunting alone when the pain in my chest dropped me to me knees. I curled up in agony, my chest was throbbing in two separate directions for almost an hour until suddenly there was nothing but peace. The phantom pull I always thought I could feel towards Peter seemed to have doubled but there was none of the aching loneliness I usually felt through the bond. I worried for a moment that something had happened and Peter was gone but the more I concentrated I could almost feel my heart beating again like I was human. I felt a fast, light heartbeat pulsing through my bonds and I wondered if it was possible- had Peter found our other mate?

Alice POV (because everyone loves her so much) ;)
I watched the vision play out with satisfaction. The man stood up, threw his beer down, and stomped up the steps. He picked up the baby and began shaking her until her future went completely black. At least she won't be a problem anymore.
