Jasper's POV

I had just been yelled at by Emmett and scolded by Carlisle for scaring away the human girl. I'll admit that I was too harsh on her, but she had caught me by surprise. I laid my head back on the sofa and closed my eyes. A presence that I knew danced into the room. It was my love, my light, and the precious being that held a special place in my un-beating heart.

"Jasper. You need to get ready for school." spoke my wife. I kept my eyes closed and felt her sit down and lean into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her. "You shouldn't worry Jasper, Lilliana will forgive you." continued my wife.

"I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about what kind of trouble this could get us into. We are already on thin ice with the Volturi ever since they wanted to kill Renesmee. We were lucky once. I'm not sure if that luck will stick with us for much longer." I admitted.

"Stop being so negative. The Volturi knows that next time we won't go so easy on them now that they know who's on our side. Please come and meet Lilliana. She and Rosalie will be her in about 20 seconds." I opened my eyes as Alice stood up. She grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.

"Alright. I'll go and meet her. If I must." I smiled.

"Yes, you must." Alice stood on her toes and pecked me on the lips.

I followed her out of my library and could hear Rosalie approaching. As soon as I made it to the bottom of the stairs I felt someone's fist connect with my face. My body was flung and I crashed onto the dinning table.

"Emmett, enough!" I heard my wife say. I sat up and expected to see him standing in front of me ready to fight. Instead he was sitting on the couch watching TV as if nothing happened.

"I won't say I'm sorry Jasper, because that is what you get for scaring away Lilliana." said Emmett in a serious tone. I didn't want to fight with him again so I let it go.

"You may not have to apologizer to Jasper,, but you will have to say sorry to Esme." said Alice. Emmett immediately sat up and walked toward the now scattered pieces of wood that used to be the table.

"Holy crud I'm screwed…again. This is all your fault Jasper." exclaimed Emmett.

"Mine Why?" I asked.

"Because it was your big butt that killed the table." answered Emmett.

"Well you're the one who punched me and made me and my big butt land on the table." I hissed.

"You just admitted that you have a big butt." laughed Emmet.

"That's it. You're going to die." I got in a fighting stance.'Bring on…Big-Butt." smirked Emmett.

"Emmett, there's someone who wants to see you." called Rosalie, interrupting us. Emmett ran to meet Rosalie who was outside on the deck.

Emmett's POV

I was so glad when I saw that Lilliana was okay. Rosalie was carrying her and I could see dried up tear stains. I almost wanted to punch Jasper again. Lilliana gave me a small smile and my anger washed away.

"I'm sorry I ran away." apologized Lilliana.

"There's nothing to apologize for." I said.

"Bring her in already. I want to meet her." I heard Alice say. Rosalie walked into the living room still holding Lilliana. She and I sat down together in the love seat. Alice skipped and stopped in front of us.

"Lilliana this is-" I began.

"I am Alice." interrupted my annoying sister. "And this is-Jasper get in here." She ran into the dinning room and came back with Jasper. "Hello, I'm Jasper." he gave a small awkward smile. "I am sorry for scaring you earlier."

"It's was kinda my fault. I shouldn't have been snooping around." said Lilliana.

"When will Edward, Bella, and Nessie get here?" wondered Rosalie.

"In about 8 seconds." replied Alice. Right on cue the door opened and my little neice ran toward me.

"Uncle Emmett, guess what? I….who are you?" Nessie tilted her head at Lilliana.

"Yo, I'm Lilliana. Are you Bella?" Lilliana tilted her head in the opposite direction.

"Nope. I'm Nessie. Bella is my mommy's name." smiled Nessie.

"Emmett, is this the little human that has been causing all the hustle and fighting?" joked Edward.

"Edward. That's not nice." Bella elbowed him in the stomach.

"I'm only joking."

"Don't mind him. My name is Bella, this is my husband Edward." smiled Bella.

"Bella? Is that short for Isabella or something.?" asked Lilliana.

"Yes it is."

"Do you ever get dumb people who think you're Italian because of your name?" teased Lilliana.

"Hey, it sounds Italian okay." I defended myself. That only made her laugh even more.

"Lilliana, how far are you from home?" asked Alice.

"Well, I don't really have a home."

"You poor thing." cooed Rosalie."It's okay. I travel a lot and so I have something to fill that void."

"But do you travel alone all of the time?" Edward seemed intrigued.

"No." Lillian began looking at her feet. She became quiet. Too quiet for my liking.

"What's wrong Lilliana?" I asked.

"Lilliana doesn't like to talk about her family." said Rosalie.

"Why not?" asked Nessie.

"Well, you know how there's something's that you'd rather forget. Right now is not the time I want to be discussing about my family and stuff." admitted Lilliana.

"Was you're brother mean to you or something?" Nessie asked again.

"My brother loves me. He always tries to give the best in life."

"Then where is he? Did he abandon you?" Jasper finally spoke.

"No. I'm looking for him."

"Then why did he leave you?" Jasper continued.

"He said that it was dangerous, and told me to wait for him. But I went after him."

"And where exactly did he leave you?" Jasper continued to grill Lilliana.

"Jasper that is enough. The girl has to eat." I looked up and Esme walked in with some human food.

"Um, thank you Esme. Ooh, I love pumpkin pie." smiled Lilliana. "You want a bite."

"No thanks," I said, "I learned my lesson already."

Esme's POV

I had stopped Jasper from practically torturing the sweet little girl. Edward and Bella were in the kitchen watching Nessie eat. Lilliana was sitting on Emmett's lap eating pie while trying to get Emmett to eat some of it. I smiled. I looked over and saw Alice and Jasper watching TV. Well Alice was. Jasper kept on glancing towards Lilliana. I tried not to show how sorry I felt for him. I could only imagine what was going on in his head.

I looked at the clock and saw that it was almost time for school.

"Kids get ready for school." I said.

"Ah, do I have to go mom?" whined Emmett.

"Yes."

"But I wanted to stay and play with Lilliana. Hey, do you think that she could come to school with us. That'd be so cool." grinned Emmett.

"Of course she can't. She's probably tired and wants to rest." I suggested.

"Fine. I have to go. See you after school little lady." Emmett ruffled Lilliana's hair earning a small growl. I laughed.

Lilliana's POV

I felt bad for Emmett. He had to go to school. Sucker!

I began wondering if it'd be fun. I mean High School must be way different from elementary. This was going to be fun.
