The Power of Humans

JasperPOV

I held Bella's hair for the sixth time in three hours. I had relieved Emmett of this duty after he had nearly pulled out all Bella's hair in his stress.

" It's all right sweetie, " I cooed, " It will be over soon,"

" You know, Jazz," Bella started before retching again. She whimpered before sitting up.

" What Boo?" I asked kindly handing her a wet face cloth to wipe her lips.

" You would make a great father," she smiled, wiping her tears away.

" I'll just make do with looking after you at the moment Bells," I laughed gently.

Bella frowned slighly, biting her lip.

" What's up Bella?" I asked, kind of scared by the expression on her face.

" Are the vamps anywhere near?" she asked quietly.

" Ruby and Jade are the only ones near. Alice is on the phone to Esme in the lobby and I told Emmett and Rosalie to go out for a while," I answered hesitantly.

" I have a plan that can a) get you back on your honeymoon quicker and b) maybe get me changed now," Bella said grinning.

" No," I said firmly. Bella's face fell.

" Why not?" she pouted, looking so cute and innocent.

" You are not getting changed yet. I won't allow it," I said looking away from her pleading face.

" But can I still tell you my plan," she asked.

I looked up, " What is your plan?"

Bella opened her mouth to speak but her phone rang.

" It's Mum's mobile," she mouthed before opening the phone.

" Mum, hey how are you?" Bella asked. A buzz on the other end of the phone sounded and Bella's face changed from tired and wistful to concerned and shocked. She pressed the speaker button on her phone and put it on the floor so I could hear too.

" Bella," our mum's voice sounded, concerned and frightened, " Isabella where are you?"

" Mum, I am right here. What's wrong?" Bella asked, frowning. Her big brown eyes were so scared.

" No, give it back," Mum yelled before another voice spoke with a smooth, quiet monotone.'

" It's my turn. Hello Bella,"

" Who is this? Where's my mum? What are you doing to her?" Bella asked angrily, the fear still present in her eyes.

" Oh so many questions for such a small girl," the voice sniggered, " You know me Isabella Marie Swan,"

" How do you - what - wait - who - mum is - no -my name - NO," Bella stuttered before screaming. Ruby and Jade ran into the room.

Ruby opened her mouth to speak but I held up my hand.

" Calm down sweet child,"

The twins gasped.

'James,' Ruby mouthed.

" Answer me. Who are you?" Bella asked, forcefully. She was so much more confident now than she had been all those years ago in Australia. It was all down to Edward, Alice, Rose, Carlisle, Esme. And now they would protect her from whatever this creep wanted.

" Ruby and Jade will have told you all about me," James chuckled.

" James," Bella whispered.

" Correct," James sang, " Now are you anywhere near your family?"

You could hear the sarcasm in his voice.

" No," Bella said.

" Good, it will make this so much easier," James said, " Now your mum recieved a concerned call from Charlie two nights ago, after his daughter didn't return home from a baseball game with friends. She panicked and boarded the next flight to America. The first flight was to California. I met her at the airport,"

" MUM!" Bella yelled in terror. I couldn't move. Mum was in danger and I couldn't do anything about it.

" She'll be all right... if you meet me at the dance studio around the corner. Preferably in the Tap room," James said calmly, as Bella's breath stuttered. She hadn't thought about, let alone visited a room dedicated to, tap since Renesmee had died.

" I'll be there," Bella whispered as I gaped at her. Was she suicidal?

" Don't bring any of your vampire friends with you. That wouldn't do your mother any good,"
the bastard on the other end chuckled, " Oh and you can tell Ruby and Jade that since you're coming to me, I am no longer after them,"

The twins relaxed, slightly.

" Bye James," Bella spat before hanging up.

" ARE YOU MAD?" I screamed.

" Mum's in danger Jazz. I had to do something," Bella argued, fire dancing in her eyes.

" I'm coming," I said decidedly.

" What? - NO," Bella stormed, " He said only me or Mum - ,"

" He said don't bring any vampire friends. I am not a vampire yet," I said getting up and grabbing my coat. I kept changing my mind on what I was doing, focussing mainly on what I wanted for dinner.

" Focus on something else. Otherwise Alice will see and we will never get away," I urged my sister as she clumsily pulled on her coat.

" Ruby, Jade. Please don't tell them until we have had time to get away," I said looking at the twins. They nodded gravely. They understood that we were taking their place in James mind and they were beyond greatful.

I looked out the window. We were on the first floor, thankfully, so the jump was minscule. I turned to hear Bella throwing up again.

" Oh Bella," I sighed. A minute later, my sister was standing beside me, wiping her mouth.

" I'm fine," she coughed.

" Really?" I asked sarcastically, " Jump out the window,"

Bella giggled. I stared at her. My sister was going insane.

" Nothing, it's just you said jump out a window. Like you know when you get in trouble at school and you excuse is ' she made me do it' and then the teacher always says if she told you to jum p out a window would you do it," Bella giggled. I rolled my eyes and pushed her towards the window.

She leapt out with my closely behind her. We ran to the carpark. Emmett and Rosalie had taken the car.

" That one looks fast," Bella said pointing at a light blue lamborghini. I chuckled and we ran towards it.

Alice had taught me how to hot wire a car and soon we were flying down the highway towards the tap studio.

A/N: There you go. They are on their way. Sorry had to add that little jump out the window thing in. Couldn't resist.
