The Meeting
-JPOV-
As I was sitting on Bella's bed looking into her beautiful brown eyes, shocked over two things, one that I called Bella's eyes beautiful, also that no one thought of Bella's theory before. Not to mention what Bella told me next. She took me back to the days following her birthday.
"Edward did not really talk to me for almost a full week."
I know I must have looked beyond shocked to Bella.
"I know it's pretty shocking after all he's supposed be the love my life, but I guess not. Then toward the end the week after work Edward asked to take a walk in the woods."
As Bella was talking I got a very bad feeling. She went into great detail of her dreams that she is reliving. Bella was describing the dreams that were more nightmares, as I saw them. The part about the wolf howling really took me back for a long while. What brought me back to earth was Bella's next statement.
"I was found by Sam Uley who lives in -----."
"La Push, I know Bella." I reassured her." I'm glad that one of the La Push protectors found you."
"So the history that Jacob told me last year was true then?" Bella asked.
"Yes. Jacob?" I asked.
"Jacob Black, he's a family friend, but not really a close friend of mine yet."
"Bella, it doesn't matter to me, I'm not my brother."
"I know, thank you Jazzy."
"You're welcome."
"Can you call Carlisle please, he might want to know my theory."
"Sure, Bella."
So I pulled out my cell and dialed the man that I thought of as my father.
"Hi Carlisle." once he answered.
"Hello, Jasper what can I do for you? And your mother asks where you are?"
"I am fine, as for where I am, I'm in Forks with Bella, who wants to speak to you."
"Ok, go ahead and put her on." Carlisle replied.
I braced myself and handed my phone to Bella.
"Hello Carlisle, I have a theory that you might find interesting."
"That's great, Bella let's hear it."
"I have a few questions, first if that's alright with you."
"Of course, Bella."
"How many vampires were in the room during my birthday party?"
"Seven all together Bella."
"That's what I thought as well, now Jasper is an em-path correct?"
"Yes."
"On to my theory then Carlisle."
"Alright, Bella."
"I think that Jasper was feeling the whole family's blood lust especially Edward's since he was standing right next to me."
"True, but......"
"But nothing Carlisle, I know very well that my blood called to Edward. I believed there's a name for this, let me think umm..... yes I'm his singer."
That kept Carlisle silent for a while. I couldn't have been more proud of how Bella was handling the talk with my father.
"Did none of you think for one second, Jasper might have been trying to protect me instead of attacking me?"
"Not really."
"My god.... Jasper was and always will be a solider Carlisle think about it."
"Oops." was all he could come up with, which is so not like him. "I will let the family know your theory."
"Thank you Carlisle." And then they hung up. But I knew he would call a family meeting so I just put my phone over to the side.
-CPOV-
I had just gotten off the phone with Bella, my adopted daughter. And what she had to say made me start to think we all were wrong about Jasper. I got up and left my home office to join the rest of my family. But now I had the job of telling them everything.
"I just an important and interesting call from a family member."
"Who was it, Edward?" Esme asked.
"No better, it was Bella, although she wasn't very happy with us." I answered.
"Oh, dear what is wrong?"
"Nothing, she just has a theory she thought I would find interesting. And she right."
"What's the theory dad?" Emmett asked.
"First of all, Jasper went back to check on her and she's fine, meaning he has done nothing. Secondly, Bella's theory is that we are very wrong about Jasper."
"How?" Rosalie asked.
"Jasper might have felt our blood lust on top of his own, and not to mention Bella is Edward's singer."
"So instead of helping Jasper every time we let our hunger get out of control we were hurting him?" Emmett asked.
"Yes." I said.
"Great." Rosalie said.
"I think we need a family meeting."
"How?" Emmett asked.
"Alice, could you get Edward on the phone please?" I asked.
"Sure." Alice calls Edward. And I call Jasper back.
"Edward, Jasper, and …..."
"We're here Carlisle." Bella said.
"Bella!!!!" Edward yelled.
"Surprised Mr. Masen, good." Bella said
"Bella please....." Edward started.
"No, Edward you don't make my decisions for me anymore."
"Bella " Edward growled.
"What Edward, didn't you tell your family how you broke up me by dumping me?"
There were several grasps around the room.
"Bella, I beg you, be quiet." Edward begged.
"No, Edward let her talk." Jasper said.
"Thank you Jazzy." Bella said with a smile.
Bella went on to tell us what happened in the woods. Even Rosalie was very upset at Edward because of her past. By the end of Bella's tale Edward was growling, I couldn't blame him, since the tale did not paint him in a very good light.
The way Bella was talking about how Jasper came back to check on her, and the fact that he has not left her side in a few days says a lot about their relationship. So I wonder if there would be a turn of tides coming.
I knew there were such things as soul mates since I found mine in Esme. I was starting to wonder if Edward wasn't really Bella's soul mate If Jasper turned out to be her mate I wouldn't be that surprised. But for now I was going to keep my thoughts to myself, so it wouldn't hurt my oldest son.
As I was wondering I heard Rosalie giving Edward hell because of what could have happened to Bella after leaving her alone in the woods. From animals to other people that have no good on their minds. Even Esme let Edward know what she thought, and no one dares to upset my wife.
When they were done yelling at him all Edward could do was to hang up his phone. All in all the meeting ended on a low note, but Jasper promised to look after Bella. To which I think we all were thankful for.
By the end of the night I could tell the Cullen's that were in this house made a deal with themselves to watch their hunger better. So when Jasper does come back that will help him. I know I made that deal with myself.
