I am so sorry for the long wait. I was stuck in writers block for this story, too. I knew what to do for future chapters but I was so stuck as to what to do now but I would like to thank 'Jules Ann' who gave me many ideas and good information for the next few chapters. All the credits should go to her.

Rosalie's POV

"Okay; so this one here is Emmett. Can you say that for me?"

I was sitting on the sofa in the main room with Jasper leaning against me; watching me as I flip through the pages of the family photo album. I was teaching him who was who and hopefully he will manage to learn how to call them by their name as a way to communicate. The only bad thing about it was that if Jasper didn't want to try it, he just shakes his head and refuses but as long as I keep it up, he should give in.

"Go on, Jasper. Say Emmett" I encouraged.

He watched me carefully with a bit of a head tilt. I knew that he still struggled to understand what people were talking about but if I kept repeating a name at a specific person, he would eventually understand that that is their name.

"Emmett" I repeated while pointing at the picture.

He started to form a shape in his mouth as if he were trying to figure out how to pronounce the first letter. I waited patiently for him.

"E…Em" he whispered.

"Great, Jazz. Emmett" I said again.

"Em" he repeated a little confidently.

Well I guess that would work for now. It's the first name he has actually tried. I flipped to the next picture which was one of Esme and Alice together. As soon as Jasper recognised Alice, his eyes lit up and showed a hint of a smile.

"This one here is Esme… Esme" I pointed out.

"Em" he mumbled.

Well if 'Em' was for Emmett and for Esme, too, it would get rather confusing. I'll need to work on that.

"Es..me" I said slowly.

Hopefully it would make the letters easier to pronounce as he would hear them carefully.

"Emay" he whispered.

I smiled greatly at this. That's the closest we have got so far.

"Great job, Jasper. Well done" I praised as I tassel his hair.

He smiled as he ducked his head to avoid my hand but looked rather proud of himself rather than the usual confusion. I pointed to the picture of Alice next. I have already gone over many pictures of Alice while repeating her name but he hadn't said her name. Now that he was in the talking mood, he might be able to say it.

"A..Ali" he said with confidence.

"Oh my god! You are getting good" I laughed.

"Good" he repeated.

I was definitely so proud of him. I couldn't wait to show this to the others. But then again, that could be a problem. Jasper is really confident in attempting to speak and repeat my words but not around the others. Perhaps that's another thing that we can work on.

"What are you doing?" Asked a curious voice.

I turned around to see my dad walk in to the main room, noting the photo album and Jasper.

"Well, since we are keeping Jasper because I will not allow him to be placed anywhere else, I decided to teach him early. Isn't that right, Jazz?" I questioned as I turned to my brother.

He tilted his head at me once again but when I mimed a nod he turned his head to Carlisle and copied my action. It wasn't confidently this time though. He actually seemed rather afraid.

"I suppose it's a good idea. How is it going?" Carlisle asked.

I smiled and nodded my head positively at him to say that it was surprisingly going better than I had hoped. I then flipped a few pages back through the album to a picture of dad by himself and pointed to him and looked at Jasper.

And then he shook his head.

"Come on, Jasper. Try for me" I begged. "Carlisle"

He shook his head at me again as he looked down at his hand; playing with his fingers. Dad walked closer to us and crouched by Jasper.

"Perhaps my name is just a little difficult for him" he suggested.

I didn't think so. Before he actually started responding to the names, he was refusing to try pronouncing them but every time I had attempted Carlisle, unlike the others, he had furrowed his eyebrows at me as if I was saying something wrong. He hadn't done that with any of the others. I just shrugged at my father's suggestion.

"How about you try another one for me, Jasper?" Carlisle tried.

Jasper just looked at him plainly but it did sound like a good idea. I turned back to the page with Esme and Alice and pointed to Alice while looking at Jasper expectantly.

He looked at the picture and then cautiously at Carlisle. Once his eyes were on me again he tried to form words in his mouth again but this time, nothing came out. Perhaps he was just nervous.

"Alice" I reminded him.

"Ali" he mumbled.

Carlisle smiled at his attempt. 'Ali' was cute so maybe it could be her nickname to make things easier for Jasper. My finger moved to my moms face as I look at Jasper again.

"Esme" I pointed out.

"E….Em…Emay" he tried.

Carlisle's smile grew therefore he, too, was happy for Jasper. At this rate, by the end of the day, he would know the names of each member of the family.

"Good boy, Jasper" Carlisle praised.

I wasn't sure if Jasper understood the words or not but he seemed to smile when he saw us both happy. It was an adorable shy smile with a small dimple on his right cheek. Oh, I miss seeing that dimple.

"Dad, Emmett has used up all the milk" Edward informed, annoyed as he marched on into the room.

Jasper suddenly jumped away from me and backed off the sofa as he began to growl at Edward. Going by the look of Edward's face, he had completely forgotten that my brother was in the room. It was beyond hilarious to see that Edward the moron afraid of Jasper but I had to hold back the smirk. When would Edward learn to stop looking so startled? It only encourages Jasper.

"Jasper" Carlisle called.

Jasper only responded with a growl at my father as well before turning back to Edward. He hadn't backed away like Jasper had wanted him to, causing him to start moving forward as he snarled.

"Jasper, stop!" I commanded as soon as I realised he was planning to attack.

Thankfully, he had stopped dead in his tracks but his eyes never left Edward's. I made a move forward and put my hand on Jasper's rapid beating chest. I pulled him closer to me which then cause him to whimper into my neck. Was that an apology?

"Can I please ask why he hates me so much?" Edward questioned.

"Duh, you are the only one in the house that shows fear towards him! He's younger than you, moron!" I shouted.

"Mowon" Jasper mumbled into my neck.

Right then, I really did have to hold back a laugh. Well, if Jasper learns any bad words, it's going to be during the times me and Edward clash.

"Rosalie, there's no need to get nasty. You're supposed to be a good influence on your brother" Carlisle intervened.

I was a good influence on Jasper. I managed to teach him who was the biggest douchebag in the house. Edward toned down the amount of fear that he had shown before looking at Jasper who was still hiding his face but his ears kept twitching as if he was detecting sound.

"Well maybe if he stopped acting like a dog…"

"You know he can't help that" I snapped at him again.

Carlisle sighed in frustration with the both of us.

"Edward, just go back into your room. I'll buy some more milk for you and Rose? Stick to what you were doing" he ordered.

Edward nodded at him and then left the room. Once he was gone, Jasper turned his head towards the door again before whispering 'mowon' again. I chuckled this time as I took his hand and led him back to the sofa once again. Carlisle put a hand through his hair as he watched Jasper.

"If he does stay, Rose, I'm relying on you to help me out here. He responds well to you. I need you to teach him that the rest of the family is safe so that he can create a bond with them and we'll also need to work together to stop the growling. I'll have to find a method to teach him that it's wrong" Carlisle explained.

"I know. I'll do my best" I nodded.

I already knew that he was staying. Carlisle had already fallen in love with him the way a father would when he sees his new-born son for the first time and I remember how sympathetic Esme was when I first joined the family. She had told me that if there was anything she could do to bring him back, she would do it. Well now she has that chance.

Carlisle nodded back at me before turning around to leave the room. I looked down at Jasper who was staring at the photo of Alice; seeming to be thinking very hard.

"You like her don't you?" I said surely.

I was surprised that he didn't stick by her side the way he does with me since she was the first person he met and kept him fed while he was out there living on his own. Instead, all his attention was on me. Yeah, maybe I was a long lost sister but Alice wasn't even in second place; it was Carlisle. I felt kind of sorry for Alice because I believe that she should get credit for it but she had said it was fine because according to her, Jasper did still like her. He just only showed it when I was sleeping.

"Like Ali" he mumbled as he rubbed his eyes.

It was only 5 at night but then again, I doubt he slept at all last night. He spent the first half howling and the second half messing up the kitchen. I pulled him even closer to me which he then grabbed my sleeve to keep the comfortable position. He leaned his head into my neck and began to doze off while continually playing with his fingers. I watched the movement of his fingers for about 15 minutes before it finally stopped which informed me that he was now sleeping. There was no sound though. No snore, no loud breathing, no light growling which is something he does when he is partly relaxed. He was breathing so silently that if it wasn't for his warm breathe on my neck, I would have thought that he wasn't breathing at all.

I started to touch his hair delicately, careful not to wake him up. He looked so peaceful and was missing the usual look on his face which was what told us that he was observing cautiously, focusing on sound or even smell etc. It was all gone so as I look at his face at this moment, he just looks so normal, so human and so natural.

"Welcome home, Jasper" I whispered.

A little shorter than I wanted it to be because you guys deserved a longer chapter because of the wait but it'll do for now. I just didn't want you to think I had given up on the story because I always finish what I start.

Any other ideas are welcome for future writers block
