Hello,

This is again for my lovely reviewer LaShelle! Thank you so much!

Easter weekend, yay! Four day break! ;P

Disclaimer: I do not own The Twilight Saga, Stephenie Meyer does.

Enjoy!

Jasper's POV

It was nearly Saturday, only a couple more hours before the clock officially ticked into a new day.

Alice had notified the family about her guest and we had all sworn to be on our best human-like behavior. That meant no fast movements, no mind reading conversations (Edward), no wrestling (Emmett), no being rude (Rosalie), no PDA (Rosalie, Emmett, Bella, Edward, Jamie, Raphael), no wolf transforming (Jacob), keep emotions in check (me), no accidental skin on skin contact, and be friendly.

Our family was sure in for a stressful day.

First, Raphael had to endure the smell as did the rest of us. Secondly, I had to welcome a human I guiltily despised into our home. And lastly, I had to deal with the newest couple while they were together.

I huffed rather obnoxiously as I rose from my chair in our living room and headed outside to find Emmett in order to stalk up on animal blood. All of us were to be full and controlled.

Raphael was clearly nervous about the human and I didn't need to have my gift to know that. He seemed to be on edge and fidgety as humans usually were when stressed or giddy. So I decided to find him before I went hunting with my bear of a brother.

"Raphael?" I called softly, knowing he'd hear perfectly clear.

"Yeah?" he replied curiously, his tall form appearing in the back doorway.

"I know that you're nervous 'bout tomorrow."

I heard him sigh from behind me but kept my eyes on the soft pale light colouring the heavy clouds above the tips of the trees on the distant horizon. The forest animals were just starting to waken.

"You don't need to be nervous 'bout it. It's nothin' to worry 'bout. Just be on guard, I'll help you," I promised, glancing at him from the corner of my eye.

He smiled softly and nodded. "Thanks Jazz. I appreciate it."

"What are brothers for?"

Raphael's smile stretched into a wide grin which was contagious.

"So, since we're out here havin' serious talks, from man to man. How are you doin' Jazz?"

I sighed as my brother's carefree aura turned serious and concerned. "I'm dealin' with it but it's not easy. Just one day at a time. If you sense that I'm 'bout to fly off the handle tomorrow, please paralyze my leg or somethin' 'cause I don't want to hurt Alice anymore than I already have."

"Of course," Raphael murmured in agreement.

I nodded and exhaled, hearing Emmett coming our way. "Would you like to join Em and I on an early hunt?"

"Sure."

"Oh so Ralphy boy is joining us eh? Well then c'mon!" Emmett called as he raced across the lawn, strategically jumping over the river and disappearing into the trees, Raphael hot on his heels.

Anthony's POV

Nervous was an understatement.

I was embarrassingly scared. She had so many big intimidating brothers.

Edward was frightening at first, until I realized that he was a nice guy when I met him before mine and Alice's date. Emmett could be a professional wrestler with the amount of muscle on his torso, he was scary also. Then there was Jasper who was built bigger than Edward but had nothing on Emmett. Jasper was the one who made me so hesitant. His stare was so cold, my blood felt as if it froze and my body shut down when he turned his icy golden eyes in my direction that one day at lunch. And then I find out that Jasper had a twin brother and I was so tempted to lie to Alice, saying that something had come up.

I really did not want to meet Jasper or his brother.

But I needed to show Alice that I was serious about our forming relationship and that I wasn't one of those guys that skipped out on his girlfriend all the time.

As I got ready for the big meet and had my mother drop me off, my palms became slick with sweat and my stomach was doing somersaults. While my mother drove us along the winding path that led to the Cullen's house, I was shaking with nerves.

Who knew such a nice friendly girl had such a terrifying family.

The closer we got the worse my fears grew. It was as if I was about to enter a haunted house with a crazed serial killer not the mansion of a gentle doctor and his family.

I had met Doctor Cullen last month when my younger sister, Sierra, had sprained her ankle a couple weeks ago. He seemed like a very kind man, young, very young for someone dealing with a house full of teenagers. Apparently, says my grandmother, a Cullen family lived here when her mother was a teenager. Grandma Anne believes Doctor Cullen was a descendent of the original Cullen's.

"Anthony, we're here," my mother announced as we pulled up to the front steps to the elaborate house in which my girlfriend lived.

"Thanks mom, I'll text you when I'll be heading home. Bye!" I hopped out of the vehicle and slowly started towards the front door as I heard the rev of my mother's old van.

With another soft sigh, I forced myself up the grand stone steps of the Cullen's residence. As I stood there, my brain eventually got the message to my arm. The dead limb on the right side of my torso raised and my index finger pressed the white doorbell. Soft chimes rung throughout the house as I saw a shadow pass the translucent window.

"Tony!" I heard her voice before I saw her. Alice had the door wide open, showing off her bright smile and sparkling golden eyes. "Come in, come in!"

I stepped inside after a fleeting second, my eyes immediately moving around the large front room. A large black piano rested on a raised platform on the left side of the room, while the center held a grand winding staircase which seemed to lead to the second floor. The white colour scheme room didn't just hold furniture. It was occupied by a large group of people.

"Tony, this is Carlisle, my father, and Esme, my mother," Alice introduced as the smiling couple stepped forward.

"It's nice to see you again Anthony," Doctor Cullen greeted. He held out a hand to me.

I shook his cold limb slightly and nodded. "You too, Doctor Cullen."

"Please, it's Carlisle."

I nodded just as the smiling caramel haired woman beside Doctor Cullen stepped towards me. "It's nice to finally meet you Anthony; you've made Alice quite happy."

I looked down slightly, blush creeping across my cheeks. "It's nice to meet you Mrs. Cullen."

"It's Esme, dear," she insisted as had Doctor Cullen.

I smiled softly at her as other members of the family stepped forwards. I recognized many of them from school.

"This is Rosalie, Carlisle's niece and Emmett, Esme's cousin's nephew," Alice murmured, gesturing to the large brunette and striking blonde.

"Hey!" Emmett greeted while showing off a set of pearly white teeth. "Welcome to the Cullen house!"

"Thanks," I replied quietly.

Rosalie said nothing and merely nodded in my direction, not even looking at me. I pushed away the unsteadiness that was starting to creep towards me. My body was urging me to run for some strange reason, but I chose to ignore my instincts as much as I could.

"This is Renesmee, Esme's niece and Jacob, a childhood friend of Renesmee's." Alice's voice continued introducing the next set of people. This pair included a girl with long curly bronze coloured hair and a tall tanned brunette who had the same build as Emmett.

"It's nice to meet you," Renesmee said, smiling sweetly.

"Hi," Jacob mumbled, giving me a quiet greeting.

"Hey," I answered as Alice guided me to other family members.

"You've already met Edward, Renesmee's brother, and this is Bella, my best friend." I saw Bella's smile widen when Alice said this, the comment obviously pleasing her.

"It's nice to meet you, Anthony," Bella greeted with a nod of her head.

I nodded in return and caught Edwards slight head bob as well. I suppose some of Alice's family members preferred not to speak much.

Before I could even produce another thought, Alice had me facing another pair of people.

"This is Jamie, one of Carlisle's distant relatives and this is Raphael, Rosalie's cousin and Jasper's twin," my girlfriend explained.

I tensed slightly at hearing that this tall blonde standing before me was Jasper's twin brother. He looked almost exactly the same as Jasper, shorter hair and his eyes were more orange than their usual gold. But the resemblance was unmistakable.

"Hi," I murmured, hesitatingly.

Raphael smiled kindly and responded, "Hello."

While his companion nodded in my direction, smiling slightly, my previous thought was proven. Not all of the Cullen's were conversationalists. I so hoped these last two were. I didn't want to face the last Cullen. I was dreading having to come face-to-face with Jasper after the fright he gave me in the cafeteria. But before I could find him in the room, Alice was already dragging me upstairs.

"Ali?" I asked, as her steady steps marching up the staircase. She gave no answer, so I just let her drag me along.

We eventually made it up to the second floor and Alice quickly tugged me down a long hallway, only pausing briefly to open a white door.

"This is my room," Alice explained, smiling at me with that beautiful smile of hers.

I couldn't help grinning back before turning from side to side, taking in the colour and furniture decorating the space. "It's cozy in here," I murmured.

Alice nodded in agreement and tugged me over to the black sofa sitting against the one wall. I found is slightly odd that there was no bed, but I shooed the thought away. This couch could be a pull out bed for all I knew.

"So, what part of the property would you like to explore first?"

I looked back at Alice when she spoke and shrugged. "What's the best thing to see?"

Alice flashed a grin and took my hand in hers, pulling me out of the room and down the hall. She was very persistent today.
