Relief fills me as I look upon Bella. Yet a certain anxiousness as well I can't help but to rejoice and smile on the inside about her wanting to me to turn her. I was so concerned that she would be against this thanks to my brother but she isn't. So one day she will walk alongside of me as a vampire. We will be equals. This for some reason makes me feel as though a small child at Christmas and that I'm finally getting all I ever wanted.
I lay back down next to her and run my hand along her arm and waist. I felt bad for had making her worry and making an ass of myself. I also felt horrible for getting so upset with her I should have been more understanding and realized that there was more to this. I wasn't considerate enough to think about what she'd been through and why she'd react this way. I took it to a more personal level about her feelings for me.
I can no longer resist and find myself kissing along her shoulder and neck. The emotions alone were making me want her urgently. She rolls over and moans but with a smile.
"Em…"
I interlock with her lips and position myself over her. I do my best not to break the bed or anything else as I thrust upon her.
"I love you." I moan into her ear and kiss her lips again.
Her arms and legs wrap around me.
"I love you too." She whispers.
I take my time not wanting the sensation to end and to stay close to her as imaginable. Once we're done Bella's covered in sweat.
She laughs a little as I run a single finger along the drops.
"Sexy…" I say.
"My sweat is sexy?"
"Highly."
"You're very odd Em Bear."
"Ah but you wouldn't have me any other way."
She starts the shower while I think about where to take her next. I come up with a plan and pack our swimsuits and write down a couple of museums and restaurants I even think of a couple wineries for her to try. I have her lunch brought up since she slept through breakfast.
Once dusk hits we leave the hotel and begin our night. So far we'd already been to the Cathedral Museum, Leonardo da Vinci Museum, Michelangelo House, Last Supper of Sant' Apollonia and a few others that I honestly can't remember and numerous restaurants but today I was taking her to Palazzo Vecchio & Piazza Signoria. Unfortunately because of the times we had to wait to actually go out a few of the museums were closed but that didn't stop me from finding a way to get her inside and to be able to look around. I just had to be wise with security cameras and guards but other than that it was all good. I loved watching some of her expressions and interest as she looked upon some of these things. I could tell it intrigued her which only made me more interested. This wasn't really all my thing but seeing her take interest and joy in something made me happy and more curious.
Bella was admiring some artwork when I caught a whiff of something and knew another vampire was amongst the building somewhere. I didn't want to cause attention to Bella or myself so I gently took her arm.
"Why don't we go somewhere else now?" I hint.
I'd no idea if the vampire was friendly or not but wasn't about to take that chance. I figured it wouldn't attack though considering we were engrossed in other human's. But there wasn't any way I was taking that chance. I start to lead her out and Bella goes pasty on me.
"Em… I don't feel too good." She says.
"Whoa." I reach out putting my arm around her.
"I think I'm going to be sick."
I pick her up and carry her out quickly and place her beside a trashcan outside where she starts upchucking.
"Bells?"
I hold her hair back I catch the scent of another vampire as well now and know now we're being tailed. Poor Bella couldn't have picked a worse time to become sick.
"Fuck…"
Bella looks to me thinking I meant that towards her.
"I'm sorry Em…"
"Not you Bells hun. We need to get out of here and fast."
She looks to me alarmed.
"Just stay close and don't let go."
I put my arm around her and head to an area where I can call a cab. As soon as one stops I gather her inside. Bella grows sick again and the cab driver slams on the brakes.
"Don't you puke in my cab lady!"
"Just drive!" I snap looking back.
"I'm not going anywhere if she's going to be upchucking in my cab."
"Drive!" I demand putting a hand roughly to his shoulder and look upon him in the rearview mirror.
The man swallows and does what he's told.
"Faster if you want to live to see tomorrow."
I pull Bella protectively to me not caring if she pukes on me or not I just wanted to get her somewhere safe. I throw a hundred dollar bill at the bastard and we exit the cab I dash up to our hotel room.
"Time to pack Bells."
"Huh?" She says but can barely get around.
I sigh and sit her down on the bed. I pack as fast as possible and scoop her up in my arms. The door flies open and I stare upon the vampire in utter shock.
"Jasper?"
Bella gasps out and I place her behind me not sure what's to come. His eyes are red and I know he's been feeding from human blood. He's wearing the Volturi necklace. He shakes his head.
"Follow me."
"Why the hell would we follow you?"
He turns.
"Because I took out the other two vampires that were tailing you, the only chance you have is if you trust in me to get you out of here."
I'd no idea what to think. I couldn't believe Jasper was with the Volturi now. With everything my brother went through why the hell would he choose this? What about Alice? What the fuck happened to my family during those two years? Jasper turns as Bella pukes yet again.
"What's wrong with her?" He says tilting his head.
"She grew ill just before all this."
He narrows his eyes her way.
"Best carry her then we need to move fast."
I follow Jasper throughout Italy. He comes to a stop in the wilderness. "We will hunt then continue."
"I won't leave her."
"Then I will watch over her while you hunt."
"Over my dead body!"
Jasper slants his head looking upon me then sighs.
"I won't hurt her. I already ruined Bella's life once I'm not about to do it again."
"It wasn't your fault Jasper…" Bella says sadly.
He shakes his head in disagreement.
I look to Bella then back to my brother.
"We've learned the hard way brother that we can't even trust family."
Jasper nods and takes off to hunt. He returns shortly.
"You need to hunt Em baby."
"I'm fine I'm not leaving you."
She looks to Jasper and slowly approaches him and takes his hand.
"Will you hurt me?"
"No mam not ever again."
She looks to me.
"I believe him Em Bear."
I shake my head on this.
"Bells please…"
She blinks and starts to collapse. Jasper props her up so she doesn't fall.
"Hurry." He hisses out.
"I'm not going to hurt her!"
I take off and find something to feed from fast as I can. When I return I see Jasper leaning over Bella holding her hair back.
"She's got nothing left." He explains.
I nod thankful he kept his word. But still am not 100 percent sure about him. I pick her back up and follow him as he takes off again.
"I wouldn't jostle her around too much." He warns as I jump over a log.
I figured he meant because of her being ill. I say nothing and press on. We make our way into Venice and he leads us to an apartment complex. We go up to the very top floor.
"Lay her down I want to check something."
I grab his wrist as he goes to touch her tummy.
"No one touches her."
"You need to trust me!" He eyes me while putting his hand gently to her tummy.
He then lowers his head and places his ear to it.
"We need to talk." He says.
Bella looks to me worriedly. Jasper holds her hand and smiles.
"It'll all be ok." I know at this point he's using his ability to calm her and make her tired as her eyes start to bat and she looks to me.
"Go to sleep its ok I'm right here." I say as soothingly as I can.
Jasper waits till she's sound asleep.
"We got a lot to discuss brother." He says and folds his arms leaning against the wall.
"Apparently we do."
"First off I want to apologize. If it wasn't for me, Bella wouldn't have had to go through what she had. I've never forgiven myself for that day. It should have been me that stepped up in order to protect her. I was so ashamed I felt I'd no right to say anything. I could have killed her. Hell I nearly did. Bella always was like a sister to me and when Alice told me everything she was going through and what she would continue to go through I hated myself and everything I'd done. I vowed to myself and to Alice I would do everything in my power to protect you and her and to serve you both in any way possible. Alice and I discussed what she saw and we came to an agreement. I joined the Volturi in order to protect you both and as a spy. That was the only way I could see about this. I hated leaving Alice that way and it broke both our hearts but we knew we'd be together again one day and that what mattered at the time was making amends for what we did to you both. We turned our backs on you. Well never again brother. I would gladly give my life for you both and the child within her."
I stumble back at his last words.
"Wait… Did you say child?"
"Yes Em… You and Bella are expecting."
My knees begin to tremble and I look down to Bella as she sleeps.
"That's impossible."
Jasper smiles.
"Nothing's impossible."
"What have I done?" My entire body feels like a pinched nerve and I myself now feel sick. What have I done to my Bella?
"We will all figure this out together." Jasper says and starts to use his skills on me.
"Don't even try it." I bark.
He sighs.
"Just trying to help."
Me? I'm going to be a father? All these things play through my mind. The biggest one is fear for what this could do to Bella. But then a sense of pride stands within me on the idea… I never thought that I'd ever get to be a father. I never even thought once on it because I knew of the possibility. I once wanted to have children but knew once I became vampire that was out of the question. Bella moans in her sleep and I hold her hand watching her and looking to her tummy. Once Jasper isn't looking I put my head to her belly and my jaw drops as I hear the tiniest of a heartbeat along with Bella's. I close my eyes and rise running my hands along my face and through my hair.
"Em?" Jasper says softly.
I nod with no words to say.
He comes up behind me and puts a hand to my shoulder.
"Why did you start feeding from humans again Jazz?"
"I couldn't blow my cover. I needed to make them believe in every sense of the way I was one of them."
"So you took innocent lives?"
Jasper sighed.
"It wasn't anyone they weren't going to kill anyhow. If anything the way I saw it was through my ability I made their deaths a bit more pleasant then it would have been if they fed from them instead. Therefore I purposely fed from the most frightened."
Even as a vampire I grow nauseas at this thought.
"There had to be another way."
"This was the only one Alice and I could come up with. We both knew what I'd be getting into."
"How long Jazz?"
"Let's see Alice first got the visions…" He says in thought.
"I'm guessing I've been with the Volturi for about 7 to 8 months."
"Jesus! Jasper there had to be another way. You overcame so much and now this? I don't understand why would you do this? Why did you see this as the only alternative? Don't you realize all those years spent overcoming the desire for human blood…"
"Yes Em… You think I didn't think about all that? You think Alice and I hadn't already discussed all this? This was my choice. This was the only way I saw to fix what I'd done. But you must know there is more to this…" He says with a sigh and a devastating expression.
I wait in wonder.
"We've a betrayer amongst our family. That is why only Alice and I know of this and it's a constant battle for Alice to keep her thoughts at bay around our brother."
"You mean Edward's betrayed?"
"No... Not Edward."
I close my eyes knowing who now without him even saying another word. He gathers this and nods.
"I'm sorry bro. I really am."
"What has she done?"
"She hasn't yet but she will and sooner than I thought."
"If she hasn't then why do we have Volturi already after us?"
"Because a human girl was spotted with a vampire by a human resource that works for the Volturi. They described to Aro of the loving relationship between the two. Without further words or names on this I knew automatically whom they spoke of. I made sure I was one of the ones sent out. What I didn't expect was for her to already be with child which means Alice's vision is coming true sooner than I imagined."
"How does she betray us Jasper?"
He sighs.
"Whatever I tell you must promise you will stay put and continue to let me help you both through this."
I nod but don't like the sound of this.
"Promise me Em."
"I promise."
"I know you're a vampire of your word I expect nothing less…" He hints.
"It's no secret about Rose's jealousy on Bella being human. We all know Rose never wanted to be a vampire. That is why she thought down of Bella and sought her ignorant and foolish when Bella asked to be one of us. Well now there's a child in the picture…"
Fuck… It all comes together piece by piece. No…
"She always wanted a child. We'd spoke of this once and she'd expressed to me her sadness on this." I look to Bella now honestly terrified out of my wits.
"It's not just any child either brother but it's yours and it's inside the human she's never quite cared for. The one that in her mind stole you away. This has damage control written all over it. Rosalie now has every reason in the world to hate Bella Swan and want her and the child within her dead. She will go in front of the Volturi and report the child and Bella as a crime."
No. No. NO! I pace the room and everything in me hollers go kill her stop her make it impossible for her to hurt Bella or our child. How could she be so cruel? So full of hate? She would honestly try to hurt someone I loved so much and even want to take my child away just to hurt me? To make me pay?
"I'm afraid there is more…"
I look to Jasper not sure how much more I can take.
"Rose will become irate with Aro as he will not wish to kill Bella or the child within her. But instead he will want the child for himself. To become father to it and he will use Chelsea to try and persuade Bella into believing she's indeed in love with him. He will try to erase anything about you in her mind as to how she feels about you. He will try to take Bella as his own and your child as if you never existed. Even if that means he kills you in the process. That is as far as Alice's vision went I know nothing else neither does she at the moment. I've used my ability to keep this knowledge away from Aro so far he trust in me completely and I must keep it that way. He will need to believe I have killed you both. "
I come to my hands and knees. What have I done?
"What about Rose?"
"That will be the time he's realized I betrayed him… By then though I will have disappeared or at least that is the plan. For now he seeks me as one of his most loyal subjects. I will also have to take care that Rose never knows about me and doesn't see me when she arrives. Once she arrives I will make my escape."
"How do I keep them safe?"
"You mean we brother…"
