This chapter came from an imagine on Tumblr. I couldn't stop thinking about Amber getting her period around her mate and the other Cullens. This was the result! The first scene happens before Bella arrives in Forks and the last is after she regained her memories!
If you have anything you'd like me to write about any of my characters in Safe and Sound, you can just leave it in a review or PM me. I like writing these cute little idea, I've done a ton for QotCr.
Remember, it's best to be current with Safe and Sound before reading any of these chapters!
Amber groaned as she trudged into the kitchen that morning. Her hair was a mess, her pajamas were still on and wrinkled to death. She had bags under her eyes from not sleeping well. She kept grimacing as she reached for the coffee pot.
Charlie raised his eyebrow at his daughter. Amber wasn't much of a morning person but she rarely acted like this. "Rough night, kiddo?"
Amber held up her finger to her dad, drinking her coffee black for once. She set it down after a bit and nodded. I couldn't sleep and I was in pain all night. Amber then groaned, biting at her lip while signing. Dad… could you go to the store for me? I really can't drive there and I need some things really soon.
Charlie began to slowly put things together, feeling his face flush. He took a very long drink of his coffee before nodding. "Uhh... sure, kiddo." He got up, pulling on his jacket. "I'll be back soon." He almost ran out of the house to avoid the awkward conversation. He didn't realize that was a bad idea until he was at the store. He had no idea what Amber needed, woman's product wise or anything else. Didn't women like treats while on their period? He couldn't remember now but he wanted to help her feel better.
That's how the Cullens found Charlie, staring in front of the period supply shelves, looking like he had seen a ghost.
Esme approached him first, smiling softly at him. "Hello, Mr. Swan."
Charlie turned to her, relaxing when it was only Esme and Carlisle. "Hello Esme, Carlisle." He then groaned as he turned back to the shelves. "Amber asked me to go shopping for her but I never asked her what she needed… She's not answering my texts."
Esme glanced at her husband, smiling sadly. They loved Amber dearly and hated that she was feeling bad. Esme whispered softly to Carlisle. "I'll get her supplies, you take Charlie to get some medicine for her?"
Carlisle nodded, kissing her cheek. "You should get some things to make dinner and dessert for her. I'm sure Amber will be more comfortable at the house with Jasper." Carlisle then gently patted Charlie on the shoulder, "Let's go pick out some medicine for Amber, Charlie. Esme will get the other stuff for you."
Charlie turned to Esme and held her hands in his, a smile lighting up his face. "Thank you, Esme. You're an angel." He then quickly walked away with Carlisle, telling him how lucky he was to have Esme as a wife.
Esme smiled brightly at the two men, shaking her head. She then read over the labels, grabbing two variety boxes of tampons and two types of pads. She moved down and got a heating pad. She placed them in the basket she had, heading to the food to get more supplies. She would be making a very nice meal for Amber, and dessert. She would make a less sweet version if Amber still wasn't craving sweet food. She had a feeling Amber would on her period, though.

Amber curled up on the couch with a giant blanket wrapped around her. She was sipping tea while trying to watch a horror movie. She couldn't focus too much because it felt like every few minutes her uterus was ripping itself to shreds. It hurt so bad she teared up and silently cried out. She had taken some Midol but it wasn't helping much. She honestly wanted to tear out her organ and never deal with the pain again.
Amber glanced at her phone again and sighed, placing her coffee down. It kept buzzing but she was so tired and irritable that she didn't want to deal with whoever it was. She picked it up though in case something was wrong.
Jasper(8:09am): Good morning, Darlin. How are you feeling?
Jasper(9:00am): Amber? You okay?
Jasper(9:30am): Amber, darling, is everything alright? I don't want to press but I would feel better if you would text me back.
Jasper(10:00am): If I don't hear from you soon I'm going to drive over to your house and check in on you. I love you, Darlin. I'm just worried.
Esme(10:02am): Amber, dear, we just left the store with Charlie. He should be home soon. You should come and spend the day with us since Charlie is going to work soon. I'm going to be making a special late lunch for you, or dinner if you're not hungry.
Alice(10:03am): Amber, you're coming over and you'll feel better soon. Wear your pajamas, sweetie.
Amber felt herself smile softly, glad to have a family like them that cares so much. Especially her boyfriend. She sighed softly before groaning as another wave of cramps hit her. She groaned before biting her lip roughly, waiting for it to pass.
"I'm home!" Charlie trudged into the living room, placing a giant tote bag on the living room table. "I think we got everything you should need." Charlie then kissed her cheek, "I need to go to work, are you going to be okay?"
Amber nodded softly, smiling weakly up at her dad. I'll be fine. I'll text someone to take me to the Cullens' soon.
Charlie nodded, kissing her head once more. "Alright. Just text me, kiddo." He headed back to the door, waving as he did. "I hope you feel better, Amber!"
Amber looked into the bag and let out a silent laugh. They really did get everything. There was a very nice heat pack, lots of chocolates and sweets, tampons in all kinds, pads, Midol, other medicine for some of the unfortunate side effects of periods. They really got everything. There was even a cute pair of really soft pajamas in there.
Amber began crying as she took the supplies to the bathroom, taking a shower so she could head over to the Cullens.

Amber walked out of her room, placing her bag on the couch that she was gonna take to the Cullens. She was just finishing drying her hair when someone walked in the door. She gasped before pouting when she realized it was just Emmett.
Emmett was grinning until he saw Amber. He slowly frowned, shutting the door behind him. "You feeling alright, little bear?"
Amber winced as another wave hit her, clenching the couch cushions in her grip. Her expression was twisted in pain, a few tears slipping from them.
Emmett moved to her side, rubbing her back while leaning down to look at her face. "Amber? What's wrong?!"
Amber relaxed when the cramps stopped, feeling even more tired now. My uterus is shredding its outer lining, my body is cramping because of this. I'm bleeding heavily, my head hurts, my back hurts, everything hurts. I'm tired and didn't sleep any last night.
Emmett's frown slowly turned into a grin again. "That's so metal." He then kissed her forehead, drying her hair with the towel she sat down. "Let's get you all doped up at the house. Carlisle can sneak you the good stuff."
Amber laughed silently as Emmett ruffled her hair in the towel, feeling a little better. I think my hair is dry now. I would also love to be high on morphine right now.
Emmett laughed loudly, it almost sounding booming in the small room. "I know you'd be loopy on morphine." He then grabbed her bag, motioning for her to head out first. "After you, ma'am."
Amber sniffled as she exited the door, Emmett reminding her of her boyfriend. He called her ma'am sometimes. It sounded better when Jasper said it to… She just missed her boyfriend. She just wanted him to hold her right now while she held a heating pad to her lower stomach. She didn't notice she was crying until she was in Emmett's jeep, seeing her face in the side mirror.
Emmett frowned slightly at her as he began heading to his house, "What's wrong?"
I just miss my boyfriend!
Emmett tried not to laugh or smile at that, focusing on the road as best as he could. "Oh." Humans were weird. He didn't remember how his sister or mom acted on their periods so this was all unusual for him. Were they all so moody?
Amber had quieted down to sniffles when they arrived at the Cullens. She ignored how Emmett was doing at least forty over the speed limit on the way here, wanting to be with Jasper.
Amber barely got to open the door before Jasper was in front of her. Jasper frowned down at her, gently caressing her cheek. He could feel her emotions when Emmett drove down the driveway, knowing something was very wrong. Especially since he could hear her sniffling. She felt very lonely, sad and affectionate at the same time. Emmett just felt nervous, high-tailing it inside with Amber's bag. "What's wrong, Darlin?"
Amber wrapped her arms around his neck, hiding her face in his chest. She shook her head, just moving closer to him.
Jasper gently picked her up, kissing her forehead as he carried her inside. "I won't let go if you don't want me to, Amber."
Amber leaned into him, closing her eyes and relaxing. She felt content and comfortable for the first time all day, except for how cold she was. She then smiled up at Edward when he wrapped a blanket around her. She adjusted it more so it blocked some of Jasper's cold body temperature too. She then curled up in Jasper's lap when he sat on the couch.
Esme had just walked into the living room with a cup of coffee, some more medicine and a heating pad when she saw Amber had fallen asleep. She smiled sweetly down at Amber and Jasper, holding the tray lightly in one hand. "She's so cute when she sleeps… So peaceful."
Jasper smiled up at her and then back at his girlfriend, "She is…" He gently brushed her hair back, frowning softly. "Why was she feeling so bad, mom?"
Esme gently sat the tray down on the table, slipping the heating pad on Amber's lap to help with cramps while she slept. "She's on her period, honey."
Jasper gently rubbed Amber's back when she adjusted in his arms, looking down at her. "Ah… No wonder she doesn't feel good."
Esme smiled softly down at him, "But she has you to be there for her." She kissed their heads before going to the kitchen, getting everything ready to cook.
Jasper hummed as he looked down at his mate, kissing the top of her head. He would always be there for her, he promised himself and her that.
{X}
Amber woke up not to the smell of food but a very painful wave of cramps. She curled in on herself, gripping her upper arms and grinding her teeth together. Her eyes were shut tightly and her eyes watered with how bad it hurt.
Jasper had felt Amber's distress, rushing back to the living room. He had left to get her some more medicine since she was slowly waking up. He frowned deeply when he saw Amber curled up on the couch, in obvious pain. He kneeled in front of her, kissing her forehead as he couldn't do anything for her but comfort her. It killed him to know it just had to pass until she could take more pain medication. "I'm so sorry, Darlin…"
Amber slowly relaxed when the wave ended, almost collapsing back on the couch. She frowned as she looked over at Jasper, feeling horrible. She was tired still, felt gross from sweating and she needed to go to the bathroom. She almost wished Jasper wouldn't be there to see her like this but she liked having him near. He always made her feel better.
Jasper gently sat her up on the couch, kissing her forehead. "Take these and then I'll carry you to the bathroom okay?" She had been asleep for a while and he was sure she would want to go.
Amber frowned a little at him at that but let it slide. He just wanted to help her. She took the pills he handed her, taking them with a glass of water. She then laughed silently when Jasper picked her up, grinning down at her. I love you.
Jasper kissed her forehead as he carried her to his bathroom that was already stocked with all her things. "I love you too, Darlin." He sat her down in his room, kissing her gently. "Esme brought your tampons, pads and everything else up here. Your robe is in there if you want to take a shower, there are clean clothes in there too thanks to Alice. I'll be downstairs unless you need something."
Amber slowly began tearing up before she began full on crying. The Cullens were so sweet and she didn't deserve them. They were catering to her every need when they didn't need to. They were vampires and hadn't experienced this stuff in a very long time. Jasper didn't need to be this sweet either, most men were disgusted by periods. He didn't seem bothered at all which was amazing.
Jasper's eyes went wide when she began crying, not knowing what he did wrong. He made sure everything she needed was in there and gave her pain medicine. Did he say something wrong? He had even been reading books on menstrual cycles to better understand what was happening to Amber. Was this her hormones going crazy or did he mess up?
Amber stopped crying when she saw how panicked Jasper looked. She then began laughing silently, a smile forming on her face. I'm okay, Jasper. My hormones are just going crazy. You and your family are too sweet which made me cry… Amber then gently pushed Jasper toward the door, shooing him. She really needed to go to the bathroom and wanted him downstairs.
Jasper chuckled as he let Amber 'push' him out of the room. "I love you." He saw her sign it back before slamming the door in his face. He chuckled, shaking his head as he walked downstairs. He then raised an eyebrow when Emmett peeked up the stairs at him. "What?"
Emmett shuddered softly, "I've been reading stories online and she can become evil on her period." He shuddered again, "I really don't want to be around an evil Amber. It's bad enough when she's mad at someone else."
Jasper frowned as he walked down the rest of the stairs, imagining horror scenarios in his mind. "Let's hope she doesn't feel that bad this time."
Emmett made a prayer motion with his hands, nodding his head quickly. "Here's hoping."
{X}
Their hopes were crushed after dinner. Amber had been feeling almost normal after she took more medicine, ate and laid down with a heating pad. She had even been playing a game with Emmett. Jasper was reading another book while Amber laid in his lap. Alice was sitting on the other end of the couch, Amber's feet in her lap. She was giving her a pedicure to try and help her feel better.
Rosalie was sitting on the loveseat, reading a magazine. Edward was out somewhere doing who knows what, preferring to stay away. Esme and Carlisle were in their room, keeping an ear open for Amber in case she began to feel bad.
That's when hell began.
Amber was almost to the finish line in the game when Emmett smacked her car off the road, winning. Amber was furious because she had been doing so well that race! She turned to Emmett and began signing to him quickly, her anger evident in her motions. What the hell, Emmett? That was unfair!
Emmett grinned at her, chuckling. "All's fair in love and war, little bear."
Amber glared at him, flipping him off. She then got out of Jasper's lap, intending on going upstairs. That was until Jasper held her hand, stopping her. She turned to him, frowning deeply.
Jasper stood up, gently rubbing her hand. "Are you feeling alright, Amber? Do you need some more Midol?"
Amber tore her hand out of his grip and flipped him off too. No, I don't fucking need any more Midol! I'm FINE! Emmett just pissed me off and you are too! I'm not a fucking baby you need to coddle! Amber then stormed past all of them, heading upstairs to Jasper's room. She slammed the door shut and locked it behind her, taking a long hot shower to relax. She knew any of them could easily break the door but it was more symbolic than anything. She didn't want to be bothered by any of them, including Jasper.
Emmett acted like he was cold, rubbing his arms. "I told you it would be scary, Jazz."
Jasper looked like he had seen a ghost, nodding numbly. "She's never been that mad at me…"
Alice frowned at how sad he sounded. "She's not really mad at you both."
Rosalie chuckled softly, peering at them over her magazine. "Give her a little bit to cool off and it'll be like nothing ever happened." She then smirked as she flipped the pages, "You should get her some chocolates."
Alice giggled at how confused the two men seemed. "It'll be okay."
{X}
Amber walked downstairs, peering into the living room. She laughed softly when she saw Emmett watching her carefully. He had a football game on but he quickly changed it to a horror documentary show. Jasper was reading a book but watching her carefully as well. Rosalie was gone now but Alice was curled up on the loveseat now, sketching something. Esme was in the kitchen baking something judging from the sounds.
"Ah, Amber, how are you feeling?" Carlisle called out to her when he entered the living room, smiling down at her.
Amber smiled up at him happily. Better actually! The medicine is really kicking in I think.
Carlisle smiled happily at her, gently rubbing her shoulder. "I'm so glad." He then stage whispered to her, "I think you scared my sons a little earlier."
Amber laughed silently, glancing into the living room. She smirked when Jasper and Emmett were looking away from her, trying to act busy. She knew they had been watching them. Amber turned back to Carlisle and grinned at him. I know. I was laughing for a while after I left.
Carlisle chuckled at her, gently pushing her towards the living room. "Esme is going to have dessert ready soon." He then kissed her head before heading back to the kitchen.
Amber smiled as she watched him leave before bending down, peering into Jasper's face. She smirked as he tried not to look at her but gave up. She gently pushed his book down, kissing him softly.
Jasper kissed her happily, gently caressing her cheek. He then leaned back when she did, smiling up at her. "I love you."
Amber giggled silently, kissing his cheek. She knew he knew she loved him, not having to say it back. She then plopped down beside Emmett, taking the control from him. She then turned it back to his football game, smirking at him.
Emmett sighed before laughing, his laughter shaking the couch slightly. "I guess I wasn't very sneaky, huh?"
Amber shook her head, looking serious as she glanced at both males. Not at all.
Emmett then grinned, reaching under the table. He pulled out a bag and dumped it all on top of Amber. "Well we got there for you anyways. Think of it as a peace treaty. You get chocolates and we get calm you."
Amber raised an eyebrow at all the fancy chocolates that were on her lap now, some spread out on the couch around her. She hummed as she picked up a caramel one, eating it. She then stared the two men down while they waited on her reaction.
Alice giggled softly as she got a couple of visions based on her decisions, looking up from her sketches. "Come on, Amber, don't torture them."
Amber sighed, acting like it killed her not to. She then smiled at the two men, holding out her arms to them. Emmett pulled her into a hug, Jasper appearing beside her to hug her as well.
{X}
Jasper and Emmett didn't understand the hell Amber could unleash on them when on her period. They didn't learn this until after Amber regained her memories and she had control of her abilities.
Amber narrowed her eyes when Jasper texted her yet again. That was the tenth time he had texted her so far that morning. She didn't have the energy or will to get up from her bed anymore. Her hair was a mess, she was tired and was cramping. She was in flannel pajamas and didn't want to put real clothes on. She especially didn't want to get in her Jeep and drive to the Cullens.
"Amber, honey?"
Amber looked back at her door and sighed when Haven walked inside with Alice. "I'm not going anywhere today."
Alice hummed softly as she grabbed some clothes from Amber's closet, walking into the bathroom to start the shower. "Yes, you are."
Haven sat down beside Amber and placed her hand on her stomach. She closed her eyes as she performed the pain reduction spell, "Asinta Mulaf Hinto, Sho Bala."
Amber relaxed finally when she couldn't feel any more pain. "I love you."
Haven laughed, patting Amber's hand. "I love you too, dear."
Alice poked her head out from the bathroom, "Come on, dear! I have everything ready for you." She then huffed when Amber didn't move, picking her up herself, pushing her into the bathroom. "You'll feel better, I promise."
Amber whined softly as Alice shut the door behind her, "Allliicceeeee."
"No buts missy!"
Amber sighed but stripped, getting in the shower. The hot water did help her feel better, her muscles relaxing. She didn't feel as gross anymore and she loved how soft her hair felt with the conditioner Alice gave her. She got out and smiled softly at what Alice picked out. She had black leggings, a gray tank top with a matching gray sweater that went over it. It wasn't that cold out but Amber liked being warm when on her period. She pulled her hair into a braid before walking into her room. She then frowned when she saw Alice replying to someone on her phone. "Alice?"
Alice grinned at her, "Jasper is just worried about you."
Amber sighed as she took her phone back, looking at the messages. She then groaned when Alice sent a message saying she would be over soon. "Alice…"
Alice shook her head, "Come on, Amber. You'll feel better when you're with Jasper."
Amber got into a staring contest with the pixie until she gave up. "Okay, fine. I'll go."
"Great!"
{X}
Amber walked into the house only to have Emmett wrap his arm around her shoulders. "Hey little bear! You haven't been over for a few days, what's up?"
Amber shrugged out of his touch, smiling slightly at him. "I just haven't felt good."
Jasper spoke up as the two of them walked into the living room, "Are you sick? Carlisle is at work right now but I can drive you to the hospital."
Amber rolled her eyes at how annoying he was being. He just wouldn't leave her alone. She loved him to death but she needed peace when she felt bad! "I'm fine!" She then narrowed her eyes when Emmett raised both of his eyebrows. "Emmett…"
Emmett turned to her, seeing the look in her eyes. "I wasn't going to say anything."
Amber sighed and moved over to the couch and curled up on the edge. "I'm fine, okay?"
Jasper slowly sat down beside her, holding her hand. "Alright, Darlin… Do you want to do anything?"
Amber shook her head as she began to feel a bit tired, "No, I'm fine with just watching a movie with you."
Jasper smiled softly since she leaned into his side, curling up to him. "One horror movie coming up, Darlin."
Amber slowly smiled when Jasper rubbed her arm as he started a serial killer movie. She didn't know if he used his ability or not but she didn't care. She was a bit more relaxed now and wasn't ready to bite anyone's head off.
That was until the movie was almost over. She was really into it as the serial killer was chasing after the last survivor. That's why she didn't notice a Hershey kiss being thrown at the back of her head. She ignored it the next time, tensing up. The next time she put up a force field around her. She turned and narrowed her eyes when Emmett dropped the one he was about to throw. "Emmett, what the hell are you doing?"
Emmett chuckled nervously, "I realized why you were acting so mean. You're on your period and you always like chocolate while on your period."
Amber's stern gaze turned into a glare at that, her eyebrows pinching together. "So, you threw them at my head, thinking that would make me feel better?"
"…. Maybe?"
Amber transported him into the Washington Forest, grinding her teeth with how angry she was. She then threw the Hershey kisses into the trash as she walked outside. "I fucking hate Hershey chocolate."
Jasper raised both of his eyebrows at how fast Amber's peaceful mood turned to severely pissed. He turned to Alice and saw her just shaking her head at him, motioning for him to be quiet. He sighed and rubbed the back of his head, not really knowing what to do. He wanted to make Amber feel better but she didn't want anyone to bother her at the moment.
{X}
Amber calmed down after Esme fixed her something to eat, resuming her and Jasper's horror movie marathon with Alice and Haven. They were almost through the sequel when Emmett came back. He ran up to his room when Amber aimed a fireball at him for having more chocolates in his hands.
When Emmett came back down he made sure he was super sneaky. He was almost positive Jasper didn't know what he was doing, Alice probably did though. He just prayed that she remained silent. His plan was changed drastically when Amber suddenly curled in on herself on the couch.
Amber whimpered as she held her stomach, curling up from the pain. She ground her teeth as it was so painful she couldn't even breathe. She could feel Jasper rubbing her back but it didn't help with the pain. She gasped as another wave hit harder than the first. She didn't even notice her magic flaring until it was too late. Jasper's book was on fire, as was Alice's magazine. Haven had to jump off the couch as her blanket caught on fire. The flower arrangements in the room had all grown out of their vases, their vines creeping around the room as they kept growing.
That was until Emmett ran into the room, still decked in his fireman outfit, with a fire extinguisher. He quickly sprayed down Alice, Haven, Jasper and finally Amber. All four of them were covered in the white foam, all the fire put out though. "You're welcome, lovely citizens! Fireman Emmett has saved you from the deadly blazes!"
Alice was groaning as she flung the foam from her hair while Haven had to wipe it from her face, grimacing. Jasper dropped his ruined book while flinging the foam off himself. That was until everyone slowly turned to Amber. She had stood up, very slowly walking towards Emmett. Her eyes were darker than normal it seemed, a fire burning in her brown eyes. She was mumbling in Latin under her breath, quickly walking faster as Emmett began backing up.
"A-Amber! It was a joke! I swear!" He got more nervous as she didn't budge, continuing to advance towards him. He nearly fell through the glass doors as he threw them open, "Little bear!" He screamed and dropped on the porch as Amber threw a fireball at him.
Amber actually growled at him, "Emmett, I'm going to burn you to a crisp!"
Emmett got up and quickly ran into the forest, "Not if you can't catch me!"
Amber groaned as he ran off, "Dammit, Emmett, get back here so I can kick your ass!"
"Never!"
Amber yelled out before running after him, her right hand on fire while her left hand made a twisting motion. "You can't escape me surrounded by nature, idiot!"
Jasper winced when everyone heard Emmett yell, a loud thunk resounding through the area. Amber probably tossed him into a tree. He then winced again when more thunks reached his ears. Definitely multiple trees.
Alice spoke up as she walked up behind them, running a towel through her hair. "He should know better. She prefers those golden wrapped chocolates." She shook her head before looking up at Jasper. "Never get her cheap chocolates."
Jasper shuddered as they could see fire over the tree tops. "I'll keep that in mind, ma'am."
