A.N. Don't own it, don't own it and my name is not Stephanie.
A.N. 2 The story should start to get a little lighter. Alice, Peter, and Charlotte will be comming in during later chapters. It is worth the wait.
I was in Jasper ' s arms and he began growling and pulling me tighter against him.
"Mate"
Now I was worried but Emmett being the big brother and someone who I do not that I do not think will make me call him uncle calmed me down.
"Bella, vampires can't hurt mates but he can hurt others who comes near them. "
Before anything else was said, Jasper picked me up at light speed and I was in his room on his couch.
"Mine"
Jasper needed to be brought back down to earth.
"Jasper..."
It did seem to work because he did calm down.
"Bella, I am so sorry. Please hear me out before you bolt. I know you are nervous. Remember when I said Alice is not my mate? When a vampire purrs, we do it around our mates only. It is instinct. I know you were burned by Edward but I promise I will never, ever treat you like Edward did. You ARE my equal. Will you give me a chance? I promise will take it slow and I will earn your trust back."
Something in me and I do not know why told me he is telling me the truth. This could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to me.
"I believe you."
Jasper kissed me on the cheek.
"Bella, let's head down stairs before Emmett let's us have it."
Jasper and I were not even half way down the stairs before Emmett boomed "Jasper, I need to talk to you about me niece." Now I was blushing, something I have not done in a long time.
Once we were in the living room, Emmett decided to be the brother bear that he is "So Jasper, what are your intentions for my niece? If you even dare treat her like Edward did, I will kill you slowly."
My face was being covered by hands with my head down when I heard Rosalie say "Grow up Emmett. You know Bella is his mate and mates can not physically or mentally harm their mate. Now Bella, I would like to ask you about the pictures"
The first was grandma and Grandpa on their wedding day with just her brothers there. That is a good one.
"They had a small wedding. They married on the beach of Hawaii and she said my great grandparents did not like him. They did not like the fact that he was nine years older than her even though he was an officer and a doctor."
Now Rosalie was laughing. "I remember my friends and family clearly Bella. I am not surprised why my parents refused to attend the wedding. My marriage to Royce was practically arranged. No matter what, they would not like him even though he was a doctor."
The next one came the few medal a she had been awarded.
"Grandma believed that any achievement that a woman received in the military is a milestone for women. She was a feminist."
Emmett pulled out some news paper clippings which were being passed around. I did not realise she had that many journals. If I put them on the floor and sticker them up. They would reach my hip. The box contained small things like the hair comb that she wore in her hair during her wedding.
Rosalie pulled out the picture of her when she was pregnant with the triplets.
"The doctors figured out grandma was having triplets. She had a c-section to avoid the risk." Rosalie seemed relieved. Then she pulled out a receipt.
"I can explain that one, during the time grandma was pregnant, she craved Reese ' s peanut butter cups."
Rosalie pulled something out that made her look like she wanted to cry.
"Grandma said when you disappeared, my great grandparents tried to get rid of reminders of you to avoid the pain. They just did not know how to deal with it. Uncle Peter, Uncle James, and grandma tried to save as much stuff of yours that they could."
Next one came of my uncle being commissioned at West Point. Pictures curious dame out of Grandma running. "Grandma loved to run."
Another one was grandma and swing dancing.
"Grandma and Grandpa entered a swing dancing competition to help the injured soldiers of the war."
Grandma had a full life and her journals could fill many novels. Rosalie had some reading to do with the journals, news paper clippings, and the letters grandpa had written grandma during the war.
