Twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer the only thing I own is the plot.

Jasper POV

Finding out that Gianna had been in my house with my wife made my blood run cold. Bella had been very smart about the way she had handled the situation which made her being mine even more of a positive for the family. As I held her in my arms in the bed at the safe house I thought about what needed to happen now. I needed to get her out of Chicago and I needed to start cleaning house, someone in my crew had told Gianna and her guard how to get in my house and Eleazar wanted her dead. I would talk her into going to New York with Charlie and staying until this was over.

"Oh handsome stop thinking so hard and get some rest." Bella's sleepy voice cut through the silence and I had to chuckle. We were so in tune with one another.

"I think that you should go with Carlie when he goes tomorrow." I say quickly not really wanting to wait on broaching the subject not really sure on how she would react.

"MMMMM I would like to see my niece but I don't want to leave you right now it will just look like I am running and I am not afraid." My strong woman says without a waiver in her voice. I knew this would be the problem with my plan

" I know that you are not afraid darlin' but I need to take care of the rat here and I can't be worried about you and the business right now if you are home with your family I will be able to take care of things here. Maybe then we can get away and go on a vacation." I kiss her hair because it is true I need her away and safe and I would start knocking down doors.

I fell asleep with my wife draped across my body in an unfamiliar bed our house had been cleaned and Gianna was disposed of with a souvenir sent to her father. That use wasn't safe yet and I would make sure that it was before my wife went back to that place. I did not sleep well in an unfamiliar place and knowing that my wife was leaving in just a few hours. Picking up my phone I called Peter he had recently wed and took over his family business as well I needed to ask him for a favor.

"Jasper what can I do you for?" He answering with an amused we had had a few interactions since our truce and I needed his outside help.

"Hey Pete sorry for the early call but I could use your help. Can we meet today for lunch at La Bella ?" I ask knowing he will get that I cant talk about it over the phone and getting the hint of the Swan's restaurant.

"Yeah man how about 1200 on the dot?"

"Sure thanks a lot."

I get out of bed and make my way to search out my wife and I find her sitting on the sofa with her phone to her ear.

"Sì papà sarò lì tutto il tempo di cui ha bisogno . E ' papà sveglio mi permetta di trascorrere il mio ultimo con lui ti amo troppo. (Yes papa I will be there as long as he needs. He is awake papa let me spend my last with him I love you too.)" She ends her call and turns to me and smiles.

"I could feel you there handsome." She has a coy look on her face and drops the short silk robe that she has on.

"Well, good morning to you too beautiful." I say taking large strides to get to my beautiful bride when she left today I wasn't sure when it would be safe for her to come back so I needed to make this count I wanted her to get on that plane today and know without a doubt I loved her. Grabbing her hips I pulled her to me and bent to take her lips in mine.

As she walked out two hours later after a quick shower with her slapping my hands and giggling. Her going to NY was the best case scenario but I didn't like it. We had just gotten back to a really solid place and now we would be separated until I could handle the threat that was at our door now. Watching her get dressed and pack the few items she had here made me want to get to work so that I could get my girl and we could go on an overdue vacation.

"Stop staring at me like that Jasper you know that we need to leave soon and I know what that look means." Bella says to me not even looking up as she packs her passport and phone charger in her bag I sigh and get up. Getting in to the grey Audi I put what Bella calls my game face on and start our drive to the private tarmac where her father is. I am holing Bella's hand in mine as I steer the car easily on to the highway and make our way out of Chicago.

As I arrive at the warehouse after I bid my tearful wife goodbye on the tarmac. I need to get the information that I need from Frank and I need it now. Putting the car in park and stepping out into the Chicago heat I will end all of this and I will do so soon. I will not be marked as weak and I will not allow any more harm to come to my family.

"Hey boss he is strung up like you asked." One of my men says as walk through the door I give him and answering nod as he locks the door behind me.

Walking through the middle of the warehouse to one of the back rooms that was built to be a slater room for livestock it has a chain and pulley system as well as a drain in the floor. I walk in to se Frank strung up in chains his arms above his head and he is barely conscious my guys have almost beat him to death. I walk toward him and he looks up one eye swollen shut.

"Hello Frank how's it hanging?" I chuckle at my own joke and in all honesty I can be a real sadistic son of a bitch. Frank drop his head and I hear him sigh out a breath he will talk to me before I kill him I will make him. I walk to the corner where the bucket sits under a troth type sink, grab the bucket and filling it with water. Frank looks up at me and I am not sure if he is curious or afraid. I nod at him and smile setting the bucket below him and my guy releases his chain enough for his feet to go it the water. Just as another one of my guys brings in the thick rubber gloves and the cattle prod, I look up at Frank who's eye are shut and I can see tears running down both his cheeks he knows whats about to happen and it is going to hurt.

"So Frank I will ask you one more time what Eleazar is up to and then I am going to start slowly sending high voltages of electricity through your body." I hold the cattle prod up and turn it on the current jumps from one point on the prod to the other and you can hear the electricity. Frank doesn't even open his eyes which in my opinion is just fuckin disrespectful. So I slowly lower the prod toward the top of the water and as the electricity starts to run through the water Franks body bows and he screams. I count in my head ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three, two, one. I pull the prod from the water and Frank goes slack, reaching up and grabbing his jaw I smile at him.

"This is simple tell me what he has planned and I will make this quick but if you don't I will not make it quick I will make you wish I would just kill you and then I will track down your family and kill them all while you watch before I cut you up into small pieces. I don't want to have to do that Frank but I will."

"Fuck you Whitlock." He spits out and I touch the prod back to the water as I step back from him.

This lasts about two hours before he spills his tradorous guts to me. Eleazar wants Bella dead, which I knew but he is looking for a way to have her arrested and killed in prison. He also has tried to turn the Denali's (who have been allies for decades). Eleazar was holding up in a old office building and I knew just how to get to him. I put a bullet in Frank and my guys were cleaning up the mess now. On my way to the Cullen compound I had to tell Edward what I had found out because our families where entwined and what affected me affected him.

Bella POV

Leaving Jasper and Chicago fucking sucked I cried when he kissed me goodbye I was afraid of how long I would have to be gone and what could happen to him while I was gone. Getting on the plane with my papa was nice I missed him a lot and I was happy that he had came all this way just to get me. I curled up on the seat and went to sleep I was exhausted. Landing in NY and going straight to the hospital was all I could think about I couldn't wait to meet my niece. We arrived at the hospital and papa and two men followed me into the hospital Max was waiting just inside then doors.

"Oh Max I am so happy for you and Mary." I hug him and begin to cry. I have missed my brother when I lived in NY I saw him at least two or three times a week.

"Oh El she is so beautiful." He holds me out and kisses my forehead and I move to the side he reaches out to shake papa's hand and they do the man hug. Max puts his hand on my back and leads me to the elevator and presses four.

"Isabella will be staying at the house until further notice. If you need anything son let me know." Papa says telling Max in not so many words that shit went down and papa had it under control.

We exit the elevator and walk toward the maternity warm papa nods to his guys to stay out side the doors as Max leads me through. We sign in quickly and are lead to the hospital room. Papa and I wait outside the door while Max makes sure that Mary is well and decent.

"Another grand baby I am a very blessed man." Papa says standing beside me I am not sure if he is talking to me or just thinking out loud. I nod in lieu of a real response. Max comes back opening the door wide and papa follows me in the dimly lit room. Mary is laying on her side covered up and resting, I am not sure if she is asleep or just relaxing but I don't say anything I round the bed to the small cart with a baby in a clear "bed" on top. A still bundle of pink blankets is lays in this bed she has olive skin and a button nose that matches Mary's and slim pinked lips. I reach my hand out to stroke her cheek.

"You can pick her up Bella she needs to wake and feed soon." Mary's airy voice comes from the bed and startles me when I realize she is fully awake and staring at me. I smile at her and nod picking the small warm bundle from her bed and pulling her to my chest.

"Oh Mary she is so beautiful congratulations." I say and I hope that I have conveyed how proud of her and my brother I am. She smiles and nods and looks up at my brother who is sitting next to her and grabs her hand to kiss her knuckles.

"Do you want to tell them or shall I?" Mary asks Max.

"Go ahead my love." Max replies looking from Mary to me. I walk to papa holding my niece tightly to my chest she is warm and smells sweet. Papa reaches down and runs his finger across her forehead saying the same prayer I have heard for every new baby.

"God our Creator, cherish this child.

Jesus, our Savior, protect her.

Holy Spirit our comforter, strengthen her.

Romana may the Lord Jesus, who loved children, bless you and keep you in his love, now and forever. Amen."

Papa finishes and kisses her and reaches up and wipes the tears that are about to fall from my face I didn't realize I was crying. Today had been emotional from the start and holding this new life in my arms was the culmination of all of the feelings that I have had in the last few days. Papa and I stay for a little while with the new family and then decide that we should let them be. Kissing my brothers cheek and then Mary's we promise to come back tomorrow.

Papa calls home and asks Irina to make a simple dinner for us and that she was free to go home after that. Papa had a staff since my mama passed away and I figured that it was his way of not being alone and really I liked the idea of people being around for him. Arriving at my old home was surreal I had grown up in this house it was the last place we had been a family even after mama died. Walking in and smelling home made pasta and meat sauce made my mouth water I hadn't eaten lunch and it was dinner time.

"I am going to go shower and put on relaxing clothes and then I will be down to eat." I told papa kissing his cheek.

I got my stuff into the bathroom and pulled out my phone wanting to talk to Jasper but knowing that he was much to busy to actually sit and talk. I sent him a quick everything is good here I love you and he replied before I could sit my phone on the counter. I love you too darlin and I miss you already and a kiss emoji. I smiled he was really a sweetheart when it came to me and only me for now.
