it's unbetaed so you're warned

Enjoy...


Twins

'I was thinking about the time Alice and Jas came in the family,' I said and Emmett grinned and nodded his head.

'I still remember Ed's face, how freaked out he was.' Emmett said with a laugh. I laughed too and nodded my head as our bedroom door was knocked by someone. I kissed Emmett once again, stood up from our bed and straightened up my dress. I moved closer to the door and opened it, there was my little granddaughter smiling at me a toothy smile, her two front teeth had fallen and she was the cutest little creature.

'Rosalie! I told you to wait for mummy!' I heard my daughter's voice calling a second before she could flash before me and her child. Emmelie smiled and kissed my cheek like every morning and then she picked up the little girl who was smiling at me. 'So, ready?' she asked and I nodded, the three blond ladies of the house moved out of the house and got in my black Jaguar, Emmett's gift for yet another anniversary.

'So did you decide?' Emmelie asked me as she helped my granddaughter on her toddler seat on the back of the car before we could get in our own seats on the front, I nodded my head with a smile and blew a kiss to the little girl before her mother and I would get it and start for a small trip in town. Bella, Alice, Jasper and Edward had decided to for a hunt, Esme was visiting Carlisle at the hospital as to check on little Irene and Rennesme with Jake were in Isle Esme, so we decided to go for shopping while Emmett would stay behind with Alex and watch a soccer game, their new passion.

'About how we had Alice and Jasper with us.' I announced and Emmelie grinned and nodded her head.

'I know some of it, Alice has told me about you freaking out with the whole thing.,' my daughter said as I drove us through the narrow streets of New Hampshire with my Jaguar being one of the most expensive cars of the town, one among the rest luxuries cars of the family.

'Well you don't know it all, you should know about me getting closer to Jasper, having him as my twin.' I commented and Emmelie grinned and shrugged.

'I'm so all ears!' She finally said and let me elaborate.

Virginia 1962

Emmett threw himself on me and my smaller body was taken down as I let out a squeal and a laugh. Our innocent enough hunting trip had turned out to be a battle of chasing and "fighting" with each other with me most of the times on the bottom and Emmett on top of me sucking at my neck and causing me to shiver all over. Then I would just escape his trap-hug and the chase would start all over again up until I could have him so blind with lust that he'd push me up against some tree… and then I would have no interest in escaping again.

'You're evil, Edward is right…' Emmett whispered in my ear and I laughed.

'Mentioning our snob brother when you're all up against me is not good for my libido, my love.' I said and felt his hand running under my blouse and close to my chest.

'Nope… not yet sweetie…' I said and nipped on his earlobe before I could escape once again from the ground. This was one of the rare occasions of not caring about the dirt on my expensive clothes. I heard Emmett swearing once again as he started chasing me again. I kept running through the forest but I halted before a stream, I sniffed the air and Emmett halted right next to me, doing the same.

'We have company,' I whispered and he nodded, with not another word we started running back to our house as fast as we could, it would be better if we had to face nomads to do it like a family since both Emmett and I were hot-tempered and Edward was useful with strangers because of his gift.

'Someone is approaching,' I announced the moment we burst inside the living room, where Esme, Carlisle and Edward were at, our parents were listening to my brother playing the piano but they all stood up the moment I broke the news. 'We caught the smell of two different vampires, they're close.' I added as both my brother and father looked at me wanting to elaborate.

'You did well to return,' Carlisle praised as we all moved out of the house, Edward was before all of us so he could catch their thoughts. He suddenly stopped with his eyes closed and his face in a deep frown.

'What is it, Edward?' Esme asked with concern and my brother opened his eyes and looked at me.

'Have you met those people?' he asked me and I looked at him as if he had two heads.

'What? No! We just smelled them and we rushed back here,' I said in defense and we both knew that he could just look in mine and Emmett's mind for the truth. He nodded after a moment and I huffed. 'Why, what's wrong with them?' I asked and all of us waited for my annoying brother's answer.

'These two, a couple, know everything about us, they know our names, they know where the house is and they're coming straight ahead.' Edward said and all of looked at each other in wonder.

'How is this possible?' Emmett asked and all of us shrugged. However we all crouched the moment the bushes at the perimeter of the house moved and a couple showed up. The oddest couple I had ever seen.

The lady was a short girl that pretty much reminded me of pixies in fairytales, her hair was short, odd for the decade we were in, her eyes were scalding red, showing her way of diet and her features seemed sharp yet beautiful even for my standards. The man was even odder, he was way taller than his partner, his hair was as blond as mine and all the skin that was exposed from his clothes was marked with countless of wounds that had been healed, yet the scars were visible even in the dim light of the afternoon, his eyes were ruby red too. They approached and the lady smiled at us warmly, almost happily while the man seemed more tensed and worried, just like we were for their arrival.

'Hello, I'm Carlisle,' my father said as he moved forward and smiled at the newcomers. The man didn't speak and looked at his partner who actually grinned and spoke.

'And this is Esme, Edward, Emmett and Rose, right?' she said and we all actually widened our eyes as we looked at that little creature with the light voice, calling us by our names and myself with the nickname the family uses. Surprise grew to worry as we exchanged glances of fear, if she knew our names, and she and her partner were vampires, they could expose us.

'Noo, we're not here to expose you, we're here to join you,' the woman said and we all snapped our heads and looked at her.

'She can see the future; she's not reading minds like I do.' Edward said, he was still frowned and he was looking at the newcomers more hostile than the rest of us. 'And he can sense and change our mood.' Edward said and at that moment I felt a strange feeling of calmness washing over me, I didn't want to feel like that but for some reason I did and that worried me more right before another wave of calmness could strike me again.

'Stop that, who are you?' Emmett asked as he felt the same with me and the short woman spoke again as she tore her eyes from Edward.

'How rude of us, we apologize, I'm Alice and this is my partner, Jasper Whitlock. We're here because we want to change our lifestyle and live with your rules, feeding by animals' blood. We want to join your family, we want to be Cullens.' Alice said and I looked at them in surprise. I've never thought of the family expanding, Esme and I couldn't bear children of our husbands so I never imagined the Cullens growing in numbers in some way.

Now I was surprised to see that there was this way, so far, we all were parts of the family because we had no other choice. I caught the pained face of the man named Jasper as he looked at me while I did those bitter thoughts and for a moment I saw sympathy and understand in his red eyes, before we could both look at the rest of the vampires before us.

'Well… you're welcome to live with us, but you need to know that we have rules that need to be followed so we won't expose ourselves because of our lifestyle, even by feeding on animals, we need to move again and again through time so we won't become suspicious and we need to be careful with slips…' Carlisle said and I closed my eyes for a moment, of course he and Esme would have the newcomers in. I didn't like the idea since the more we were, the bigger was the chances of some of us having a slip… and exposing the entire coven. We were already a too large coven with three males and two female vampires with no fights… now the numbers were growing and the slip could come easier.

'We know all your rules and we're willing to follow them, as long as you want us in the family,' Alice said and glanced at me, she probably had seen my displeasure but it wasn't about her as a person, it was about the chances of the family being destroyed. The idea of a sister sounded good and the idea of a brother less annoying than Edward even better. Edward glanced at me for a moment and I smirked at him, something that wasn't unnoticed by the pixie-like woman before us.

Emmett and I didn't follow the rest for the first hunt of the newcomers since we had hunted the day before. I didn't know how I felt about the new arrivals in the family, on one hand, I was fine with them staying with us as long as they could stick to the plan for the rest of… eternity, on the other hand, I was afraid and worried about the family expanding like this, especially when there were treaties now bounding us within borders in other places of the States… treaties that if broken, could cause a war that only attention and more enemies would brought…

I was in the garage, playing with the mechanics of one of our new cars when I smelled one of the newcomers and I moved from beneath the car and looked at Jasper who was looking at me with interest.

'Your worry brought me here,' he said calmly and I chuckled in irony as I cleaned my hands with a piece of fabric and nodded my head. I had one brother reading my mind now I had one more reading my heart, I felt totally exposed in this place.

'I see,' I only said and he nodded his head, he could feel I was awkward with him , he could probably feel my curiosity about all these scars on his skin too.

'They're war scars.' He told me softly and I felt embarrassed at the fact of him really feeling what I felt. He chuckled sadly and for some reason I felt sympathy like he had felt for me the day before. 'It was a long time ago, when vampires were fighting instead of hiding.' He told me and I felt a small feeling of calmness washing over me, I wasn't sure if it was Jasper's power or me feeling more comfortable at his presence than what I had ever felt before my other brother.

'I see,' I said stupidly again and he smiled a sad smile once again, his constant sadness almost reflected my inner pain and I wasn't sure why.

'Alice has seen what you've been through… I'm sorry,' he said and I felt anger flaring up in me, Carlisle knew because he saved me, Esme knew because she helped me, Edward knew because either of us had another option because of his power, Emmett knew because he was... well my everything. But having other people knowing my story made me angry and something I hated even more, vulnerable.

'No please, don't be angry, I didn't mean to harm your feelings nor force mean memories to you.' He said and I noticed the way he used the language, more formal than the 60's, even more formal than the 30's… this man was counting a lot of decades of existing.

'I don't like people like Edward or your partner sneaking in my life without my permission,' I said curtly and he nodded his head, I replied in the only defensive way I knew, snapping.

'And you're entirely right to; I wouldn't like having people sneaking in my mind and memories as to learn how I earned these scars all over my body.' He told me and I could hear in his voice the honesty and the sympathy again. I sighed and looked at him, our features were alike, and someone could think that we were twins. He smiled truly this time as he felt how comfortable I suddenly felt.

'I felt comfortable too when I saw you, I felt like you were suffering as I did,' he said and I nodded my head, still remembering his glance the previous day. For some reason I could feel that this man would be someone very close to me, to an entirely platonic way, yet I could feel that Jasper knew what I had been through without Alice or Edward's power to enlighten him.

'You're worried about Alice and me causing trouble in your family yet you're not called a Cullen.' Jasper pointed out and I could hear the pure curiosity and not some hostile or ironic tone.

'I had a life, I had a family, the Hales, I was part of them, they might had faults, yet, they were my family and I was born with this name.' I said simply and he nodded.

'I agree with you, living with a foster family doesn't mean that you have to lose your identity.' Jasper said and I looked at him in surprise. I wasn't sure if he was trying to play nice but I felt like he meant all those things.

'We're like twins…' I pointed out and he laughed and nodded.

'The Hales… or the Withlocks… whatever suits you best,' he said and I laughed again as we moved out of the garage and in the garden. 'You liked your human years, didn't you?' he asked and I sighed, the feeling of nostalgia having nothing to do with his power, I knew.

'I loved listening to my heart, or feeling the heartbeat every time I would touch my chest in joy or surprise…' I whispered and he nodded as we kept moving in the garden.

'I don't remember such details… I was turned a long time ago… from a woman that was too greedy to care about my heart…' he said and I felt the greatest sympathy for my new brother, at least Carlisle had changed me to give me a chance.

'It was amazing… the sound of life and now this… silence screams out loud how dead and unnatural we all are.' I said with bitterness and he looked at me in understanding this time. He didn't try to use his power to calm me down and in a way, I thanked him for this, I needed to feel my emotions, it was important for me to vent.

'Yet we need to remain for our beloved ones…' Jasper said and I sighed, this time calming down by his words, if it was Edward, he would have thrown some salt in my wounds by reminding me of how endless our lives were and how I should start getting used to it… but Jasper showed me the aspect I was using for my survival, my love for Emmett.

'Emmett thinks that I would trade him for a human life, that's what Edward has "seen" in my mind and that's what he told him, but Edward is close to me when I'm desperate and I have such thoughts, because it's when I'm in reality, but when I'm with Emmett… I live my dream and such thoughts don't haunt me… one way of the other, a human life with children but without Emmett would be as empty as this one with Emmett but no children…' I said and I found myself surprised at how easily I opened up for something so personal before a man I knew for mere hours.

'I know, Rose… I can feel it; you love him with all your heart…' Jasper only said and I smiled and nodded in alleviation, at least someone believed that I wasn't just a shallow little girl…

'I do… but the knowledge of Emmett being able to seed a womb and me being a barren, frozen vampire is killing me.' I whispered this time and I didn't feel surprised for opening up even more, I felt like trusting Jasper and he had already revealed things of his own life to me…

'I know… I can feel that too…' he said softly and I laughed sadly.

'Since you can feel it all, I shouldn't even be talking…' I said and this time he smiled at me, the scars of his face stretching as his lips formed the smile. I could imagine the pain he felt during the battles that caused these scars, I had been scarred too.

'No, talk, vent, you need it, believe me, you do…' he told me and I smiled and nodded my head.

I wasn't sure for how long we were out there in the garden, strolling around and talking about my human years, Royce, his friends and the day I saved Emmett, his own tales of the war, Maria, his friend Peter, how he met Alice, a few days prior and how difficult it was for him to resist on human blood… I wasn't sure how long after; we entered the house and found Edward and Alice fighting out of Edward's door while all his belongings were moved in the corridor and Alice had taken over the room because "it had a better view".

I felt lucky for Alice peeking my annoying brother's room for hers and Jasper's. I smiled at my new brother, my twin, as I liked to think of him as I finally had a brother to understand and feel for me without judging and lecturing.

Both Jasper and I had been through a lot, we had been turned into vampires without having a choice upon the decision or the luck Alice had of not remembering her human years… I felt like Jasper was the missing part of my life, a brother I always wanted to be there for me, like Emmett had Edward, like now Edward had this little annoying pixie with the freaking power of seeing things…

The family was finally completed and Jasper and I had become twins.
