Chapter 5: Lucas and Jasper

EmPOV


"Thanks so much for letting us stay here overnight Mrs. Cullen." I thanked Edward's mother. She was a kind woman. Once we got back from the movies, a rain storm hit and the roads were already slipper as fuck. Mrs. Cullen had called to make sure Edward was okay. When he told her that the storm had hit and that it was awful, she offered everyone to stay the night until the storm ended.

"Now Emmett, please, call me Esme and Carlisle and I welcome anyone in need."

I chuckled. "Thanks again Esme. Really. I'll give the phone back to Edward now. Goodnight." She wished me sweet dreams before I handed the phone back to her son. I walked back into the living room where Bella and Alice sat, watching Titanic. I rolled my eyes. The movie was at the part where Rose tells Jack she will never let go before she lets go. Idiot, she just promised that she wouldn't! Bells and Alice already had tears slipping down their cheeks and sniffling.

"Edward!" A voice came from behind me, followed by the giggles of someone small.

A little boy with blond hair appeared in the doorway of the living room, smiling widely at us. "Uncle Eddie, pwease?"

Alice bounced over to the little man. "Hey cutie! What's your name?" She touched his cheek.

His smile fell as he stared at Alice with striking deep blue eyes that had a purple tint to them.

"Alice, you're scaring him." Bella whispered, pulling Alice's shirt.

The boy turned to look at Bells. "You pwetty!" He giggled and then ran back out of the living room.

Bella blushed and Alice stood straight.

"I get the weirdo look but you get a compliment." She huffed, crossing her arms. "Hmph."

I looked over at my two best friends. Both were truly beauties. Alice was a tiny thing, not taller than five feet. Her once long inky hair was cropped short and adorned into perfect spikes. Alice was full of energy, so Bella and I made sure not to let her drink coffee or eat so much sugar. She was adventurous and usually led Bella into some type of trouble. She was in love with new trends and shoes. I think that the only ting she loved more than shopping was playing Barbie Bella (much to Bella's annoyance).

Bella wasn't anything like Alice. She was only five foot four. Her long mahogany brown hair is perfectly straight. With a heart shaped face and her innocent chocolate brown eyes, Bella's appearance goes along perfectly with her personality. Innocent and sweet. Unlike Alice, Bella is into literature and cooking. She's shy so she retreats to her books and kitchen. Bella is insanely clumsy, a trait she inherited from her dad and my uncle, Charlie.

"I see you've met Lucas." Edward returns to the living room, laughing at Bella's blush. "Lucas prefers brunettes."

We laughed.

"Just like his uncle." Rosalie came into the room with Lucas in tow. Looking at the two, I could easily tell they were related. Same wavy golden hair, fair skin, pink fill lips, and perfect and angular features. Siblings of course. Their eyes were only a shade different. Their smiles and attitude were different too. Probably because Lucas was a little boy.

Edward blushed. "Shut up."

"Momma, where's uncle Jazzy?" Lucas tugged on Rosalie's shirt, demanding her attention.

Momma? What!

"H-h-he's your son?" Bella stuttered out.

Alice kneeled down in front of Lucas. Again, he stared at her. She studied him. "Hm," she looked up at Rose then back down at Lucas.

Rosalie laughed. "Lucas, baby, say hi."

Lucas raised one eyebrow, glancing at Edward before focusing on Alice. A smile broke out on his face. "Hi!"

Alice gasped. "Oh my god. That smile."

"Hm?" Rosalie looked at her son before smiling. "Yeah, he has my brother's smile. Esme always comments about it."

Edward squints at Lucas. "He does."

"It's a killer smile." I commented. One to get on Rosalie's good side and two because it was true. This kid was going to be one hell of a heart breaker, just like his mother.

"Thanks." A tall blond guy appeared by the foot of the stairs dressed in a white t-shirt and black sweats. His blond hair fell over his forehead. As a hot dude like myself, I sized him up. Lean but muscular. Probably around six foot three-ish, almost as tall as me but taller than Edward.

"Uncle Jazzy." Lucas smiled again earning himself the same smile from his uncle.

"Jasper Hale, it's been a long time." Edward nodded his hello. "These are my friends. Emmett, Bella, and Alice."

We greeted him.

"Hm, Isabella Swan right?" He asked Bella.

She blushed and nodded. "How'd you know?"

He smirked. "I saw you around town."

Alice stood up, walking right up to Jasper. "I told you that we would see each other again." She whispered. Jasper stared down at her, brielfy confused. He smiled then. "Alice." He hugged her, covering her with his body.

She laughed, kissed his cheeks before pulling away. "I've missed you." A tear slipped down her cheeks and he quickly wiped it away with his thumb. "Thanks so much." He kissed the top of her head.

"Uh, am I missing something?" I asked to no one in particaular.

Rosalie laughed. "So this is the Alice."

Jasper nodded. Bella blushed. Edward and I shared a confused look.

"Who would've thought." Rosalie grinned. "I'm cooking dinner. anyone willing to help?"

Bella shot up. "I will if you don't mind."

Lucas skipped behind them as they went to the kitchen. He stopped midway and turned to look at me. "Come play!" He ran to me, taking hold of my leg. I laughed. Edward glanced over at Alice and Jasper who sat on the couch, whispering to each other. "I'll play too." He muttered.

"I gots lots of toys!" Lucas didn't let go of my leg. Edward led us to a door right next to the kitchen where Bella and Rosalie giggled and stirred. The door was marked L.E.H in big cursive writing.

"L.E.H.?" I asked Edward once Lucas ran off to the corner to find his favorite toy that he wanted to show me.

"Lucas Edward Hale. He was named after me." He smiled at Lucas. The boy smiled back and went back to digging for his toy.

"Is he really Rosalie's?" I glanced at him. Edward nodded.

"Yeah. He's three in January."

I looked at the boy. He looked like an angel. All that was missing was a halo. "I'm guessing you won't tell me more."

"Nope. It's her story to tell." Edward grabbed the big green bouncy ball next to him and rolled it on the ground to Lucas who jumped on it. He giggled as he landed on the soft carpeted floor.

"Don't hurt her." I told Edward after playing video games for about an hour. We talked about sports and music after Lucas fell asleep on top of his toys. He gave Alice a run for her money. He was powered with pure sugar.

"What?" Edward's player kicked me in the crotch.

"Bella. She's all I have now." I told him truthfully. My mother and Bella's mom had been killed in a car accident four years ago. I moved in with my uncle Charlie. He gave me a place to live and love, so in return, I watched over Bella. She was like my sister.

"I wouldn't dream of it."

I believed him. I saw how he looked at my cousin. So much devotion and love. And when she looked at him, you saw the same thing. There was no doubt in my mind that he will take care of her and wouldn't hurt her. But just in case I was wrong. "I'll cut your nuts off and shove them up your ass along with a huge dildo."

Edward and I laughed.

"Of course." He smiled.


Mostly just a filler. I wanted to show how connected Jasper and Alice were. I know I didn't include her in his thoughts in chapter four but it was mostly to show that he was dedicated to his work but Alice and his family will change all that. Hope you liked it.
