7 Years Later...
JPOV
'Jay?' The most beautiful voice called.
'Yes kitten?' I answered as I closed my book, looking up.
Bella had just walked in, looking as radiant as ever. She beamed at me and climbed onto my lap. 'Char suggested we go hunting now, so we don't have to worry about it later.' She told me, as she combed her fingers through my hair. Unfortunately for me, this was a big, big, turn on for me. And she knew it.
'I'd love to B, but Peter said he wanted to talk to me about something at the house.' I frowned, burying my face into her hair. I could imagine her pouting.
'Oh fine.' She paused. 'I'll see you later though, right?' She asked seductively.
'Ur.. yeah.' I finished lamely. Wow, 7 years of being with her, and she still gets to me as much as the first day.
'Oh good! I have something new I've been wanting to test out.' She giggled and winked.
I cleared my throat. 'Hunt quickly... Please?' I begged.
She nodded and kissed me, quickly but tenderly.
'I love you Jay.' She pecked my lips, before getting up and walking out of the door.
'I love you too, sugar!' I called after her.
I smiled as I remembered the first time we said 'I love you' to each other...
We were sitting in our spot... The place where I had told Bella all about mates.
We weren't really talking about anything, just sitting here enjoying each other's company.
The sun spilled through the clouds, and shone all over Bella and I. I looked at the angel in my arms. Her eyes were closed, but I could tell she was awake. God damn, she was beautiful.
I cupped her cheek, rubbing it with my thumb. She opened her eyes, and stared into mine, smiling slightly. And in that moment, I knew I was done for.
'I love you.' I blurted out, before I could stop myself. She beamed up at me.
'I love you too Jay.' She smiled, as she kissed me softly, and layed back down. Oh my god..
How did I get so lucky?
I smiled, and put my book on the table. Walked out the tent and across the courtyard to the stables.
Only Peter was in there, with his horse, Donkey. I know right? Creative.
Snowball and Baron had now become too old to ride frequently, so they now lived at the ranch, and we payed a nearby neighbour to feed them during the week.
I had got another black stallion, which Bella and I named General. We thought it fit.
Peter had decided to get a grey stallion. And yes, he called it Donkey.
His defence? 'Hey dude, Eddie Murphy is a legend.' We had tried to reason with him, but he just sat there with his eyes closed, arms crossed, head turned away like a stroppy child and ignored us. It didn't affect me, but the girls cracked and started gushing about how 'cute' he was. I don't see it.
Bella had also gotten a horse. Well, Char shared with her. They had gotten a brown and white mare, that they called Ramona. It meant 'Wise Defender.'
Unfortunately, General had got something stuck in his hoof and the horse shoe had cracked, so that means I have to ride with Peter. Oh, the joy.
'C'mon Major!' Peter called, and ran his hands over the top of his trousers, lifting his shirt up slightly and biting his lip. I could feel his mischief. Oh lord, save me now.
I took a deep breath and walked over to him and... Donkey.
I climbed on the back and waited for Peter to move. He didn't.
'Hello? Peter? Go!' I shoved him in the back.
'Nu uh Major, safety first.' He smirked, and pulled my hands around his waist.
'Peter!' I groaned, as he laughed. I moved my hands to the saddle and held on, as Peter finally moved.
20 minutes of awkward silence, we rode into the courtyard outside the ranch. When we stopped, we jumped off.
'Pete? I'll put Donkey away. I want to see Captain and Baron anyway.' I told him, taking Donkey's reigns from him. He shrugged.
'Whatever man. I'll be masturbating.' He joked. At least... I hope he joked. I shuddered and walked Donkey to the stable.
As soon as my horses spotted me, they walked over to their stall door, and whimpered. I put Donkey away in with Snowball, petting them both, before walking over to Baron and General.
'Hey guys.' I cooed, using one hand to stroke each of their noses softly. 'How have you been?'
As you can see, Bella got to me. She encouraged me to bond with the horses... And now I love 'em. Something Peter teases me about. Constantly.
I stroked them a bit more before noticing their water and food was real low. Snowball and Donkey's was too. I bet Ramona won't have any, as it hasn't been refilled all week.
After I took off all of Donkey's riding equipment, I got the hose and refilled all of their water troughs.
I got the bag and poured out some dry mix into each of their trays, and was just refilling Snowball's and Donkey's hay, when someone cleared their throat behind me.
Startled, I turned and came face-to-face with 6 pairs of golden eyes I'd hoped I'd never see again.
'Oh shit.' I whispered, picking up the hay barrel, and placing it in S/D's stall.
I repeated the process for Ramona's stall, and G/B's stall, before turning to address them.
'I don't know what the hell ya'll are doin' here, but if you think you can just walk in here after 17 years you can just turn around.' I drawled, running a hand through my hair.
'Son, we've missed you.' Carlisle smiled, stepping forward to greet me. He held his arms out for a hug. I growled at him and stepped back.
'Missed me?' I spat. 'Like I believe that bullshit.' I frowned, walking over to the back of the barn, where there was some pain relief tablets, that General needed to take for his foot. The cracked hoof/shoe had caused the ankle to swell.
'How can you say that Jasper?' Esme gasped.
I laughed without humour, as I gave General an apple, after stuffing the tablet into it.
'I don't know, let's see... Not once in 17 years have any of you tried to contact me!' I said, hurt and annoyed.
'Not true! We tried to call you, but you left your mobile at home.' Carlisle told me. 'We couldn't think of any other way to communicate with you.'
'Speak for yourself.' Rosie said, standing forward. 'Carlisle, Jasper is telling the truth. You never tried to contact him.'
'There was no way to contact him Rose.' Edward said, frustrated.
'Bullshit. I've been speaking to him every weekend since he left.' She told them. 'So has Em.' They all gasped as Rosie walked forward and I engulfed her in a hug.
'I've missed you sister.' I whispered. 'You too Em.' I told him as I gave him a man hug.
'Next time, dipshits, you might want to try email. Or call Pete and Char.' Em glared at them. Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Pete zoomed in.
'Someone said my- HOLY SHIT!' He shouted.
'Yep, thanks for that Peter.' I frowned, as I tried to regain hearing in my ear.
'My bad.' He walked over to stand next to me, flanking me. Like he would do in battle.
Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Rose and Em were having their own little argument between themselves. Alice however...
Alice had been staring at me since she walked in. And it was making me extremely uncomfortable.
'Oh Jazzy!' She exclaimed, in a high nasal voice. Ew. How had I found that attractive? 'I missed you.' She proclaimed, as she threw herself at me. Damn she was fast.
In less than half a second, her arms were wrapped around my waist. 'We never should have broken up. I love you!' She lied.
A deafening growl erupted from my chest, as I pushed her off of me. 'No. Alice. You loved using me. You enjoyed making me your sick little puppet. You never cared about me. So don't pretend you did.'
She gasped and looked 'shocked,' I think she just looked constipated. 'Jazzy, you can't say that! I saved you!' She told me. I snorted.
'Not really. I was never really happy with ya'll. But here... here is home. And here are my family.' I told them. Carlisle and Esme looked devastated.
'You need me Jasper. You won't be able to function right without me. Or you'll get sex deprivation.' She said, trying to look sexy.
Peter burst into laughter. 'Jasper? Sex deprived?' More laughter. 'Yeah right, he gets more than me!' More laughter. 'Cause he's a lucky mother-fucking bastard with a horny hot-ass fiancé!'
'Fiancé? Jasper, I'm your wife.' She held up her ring finger, to show me the ring I gave her 20 years ago. 'You can't get married again. Oh! Unless this is your way of asking me! I'd love to Jasper!'
I snorted. 'Yeah right. Keep dreaming bitch.' I paused. 'But seriously, I thought you got the divorce papers?' I asked confused. 'I mean, they were returned signed. By you.' I told her.
She shook her head. 'I never signed, or received anything sent by you.' She sneered.
'Oh, that was meant for Alice? Opps.' Rose smirked, stepping forward to stand next to me. I snickered.
'You did WHAT!' Alice screeched, launching herself at Rose. Alice, stupidly, didn't add Em into the equation. One second she was flying through the air, the next she was being squashed by Em.
'So Jasper, when are we going to meet this 'Hot-Ass Fiancé of yours?' Rosie asked me, smiling.
'Right about now.' Pete winked at her, as horse steps sounded down our drive. I instantly brightened at the idea of seeing Bella.
'Whatever. She's probably just a filthy whore.' Alice said, standing up. I soon had her dangling off the ground, and pinned to the wall. Ferocious growls were pouring from my chest.
'You will NEVER say ANYTHINGlike that about my Bella EVER again.' My growls didn't subside as I stared her in the eye. I could see her fear in her eyes.
This was no longer the Jasper Hale they knew, this was Jasper Whitlock, God of War.
'Jasper! Let her down!' Carlisle commanded.
'You think that will help?' Peter laughed. 'You just have to pray he doesn't kill her.'
At that moment, Bella and Char rode in on Ramona. Their eyes widened, and Bella jumped off and ran over to me.
'Jay.' She whispered, touching my back. I relaxed.
'See I was right! A. Cheap. Filthy. Whore.' Alice sneered. I roared in rage, and grabbing her hand, I tore her lower arm from her body. She screamed in pain.
'Jasper.' Bella whispered, grabbing my arms, and pulling them from Alice's neck. I dropped her to the ground and turned around, so my face my buried in Bella's hair.
'I'm sorry.' I whispered, handing her Alice's arm.
She laughed, causing me to smile slightly, and threw the arm away like it had electrocuted her. 'Jasper, I'm not mad. I'm actually glad you taught that fugly skank a lesson. I just don't think it would be fair to them to kill her.' She gestured to Carlisle with her thumb.
'Mmm.. I love you.' I told her, kissing her soundly on the lips.
'Love you too.' She mumbled before pulling away. 'Okay, let's get this show on the road.' She announced clapping her hands. 'Okay, so I'm Bella, I'm Jasper's fiancé and mate.' She announced, grabbing my hand. Everyone looked shocked, and surprised, but didn't object.
'I'm Carlisle, this is my mate Esme, my son Edward, my daughter Rosalie and My son Emmett. You already know Alice.' He smiled, as she shook his hand. 'It's good to meet you. Thanks for stopping him. As annoying as Alice can be, she's family.' Bella shrugged.
Surprising me, and everyone else, she walked over to Rose and Em. 'Thank you.' She smiled at them.
'For what?' Rose asked back.
'It may not seem like a lot, but the fact you two stayed in contact with Jay meant a lot to him. Even if he'll never admit it.' She giggled cutely. I watched as she hugged them both, before walking back to my side.
'So Carlisle, I don't get the feeling this is a friendly visit. After all, that could have happened anytime in the last 17 years, why now?' He sighed.
'Jasper, could we move somewhere more private?' He asked. I nodded and began leading the way with Bella, Pete and Char.
'Bella-Bean?' Peter staged whispered.
'Peter Parker?' She whispered back.
'You didn't say hello to me.' He pouted. She awed him.
'You're fucking adorable, you know that?' He nodded smugly. 'Anyway: Hello Peter, how is my favourite bitch doin' today?' She asked.
'I'm doin' good girl. How you doin'?' He asked in a weird ghetto type voice. (If any of you watch Shane Dawson, think Shanaynay :] )
'I'm good.' She smirked at him. I held the door open for everyone once we reached my study.
I walked around to my desk, and sat in the big chair. I pulled Bella on to my lap.
'You have privacy, now speak.' I commanded in what Bella called my 'Major voice,' or my 'freaky-ass-scary-shit voice.'
'Okay, well we were hunting in our newest location – Forks, Washington, when we came across a pair of nomads. They had just killed two humans, so we explained how we drank from animals, and asked if they could refrain from hunting in our territory. They agreed, but moved to the reservation. Where shape shifters live. We have a treaty not to kill fight, if we don't kill humans. They took down the male human drinker, but now the female, Victoria, wants revenge on us as she believes we killed her mate.' He finished.
I stared at him. 'So? Take her down. Not rocket science.' I rolled my eyes.
'It's not as simple as that, I'm afraid.' He reached into his bag and pulled out 6 or so newspaper clippings, and placed them in front of me. I shifted Bella slightly, and took the earliest dated one, and read it quickly. And then the next one.
The more I read, the more I knew what was happening.
'She's creating an army.' I stated. Carlisle nodded grimly.
'Jay?' Bella asked confused.
'Victoria is creating an army of newborn vampires in Seattle.' I told her, Pete and Char grimly.
