Chapter 6: Jasper's POV

It took Stella a couple minutes to calm down. When she did, she slowly let go of me. I kept my arms around her waist and rested my head on her shoulder.

And then I felt something I didn't expect: anger. I looked over at Renesmee and saw she had her hands balled into fists. She was staring at me and Stella, her face furious. I decided to ask her later and started with the introductions.

"Jacob, this is Stella. Stella this is Jacob. He's a werewolf"

"So...that's why you smell?" She asked. Everyone in the room laughed, except Renesmee.

"Stella, this is Renesmee. Nessie, this is Stella." Nessie was furious then. She looked from me to Stella, them looked me in the eye and said,

"How could you?" Then she ran upstairs into her room and slammed the door shut. Jacob tried to run after her, but I stopped him.

"Don't. It's me she's upset with. I'll go talk to her." I let go of Stella and walked up to her room.

When I got to Nessie's room, she was sobbing on her bed, clutching a picture of Alice. It hurt that she was gone, but it hurt more knowing that she lied to me.

"Nessie? What's wrong?"

"You're replacing Aunt Alice!" She cried.

"Oh sweetheart..." I whispered and pulled her into my lap. "I could never replace Alice. Aunt Alice and I had certain differences that weren't working. She told me there was a reason she was with me and a reason she was leaving me. And I promise, as soon as I find out those reasons, you will be the first one to know. And when I do, Aunt Alice will be back."

"Do you promise?" She asked quietly.

"I promise. I will drag her here myself if I have to." I drawled out. We both laughed for a second.

"Can you please give Stella a chance for me?" I asked her. "She's very important to me. She's my best friend and I don't know what I would do if my best friend and favorite niece hated each other."

"I guess." She sighed sarcastically.

"There is no way you are just physically an eleven year old." I said getting up.

When I got downstairs, I saw Emmett and Stella playing Halo and Edward and Bella were back. They both looked pretty upset, taking the leaving of Alice pretty hard.

But the weirdest thing was that Rose and Jacob were standing together on the other side of the room.

"Hey bro! Guess what?" Emmett asked.

"What?" I said.

"Jacob and Rose actually agree on something. It's a miracle!"

"What did they agree on?"

"Neither of them like me." Stella replied with a smile.

"How are you happy about that?" Bella asked, exasperated.

"I like a challenge." She replied.

"Why don't they like you?" I asked her. Her smile faded.

"They think I'm too dangerous." She whispered.

"She's a monster." Jacob said through gritted teeth.

"Shut up!" I told him. "Stell, Nessie wants to see you."

"She shouldn't go alone." Rose said.

"I'm fine." Stella snapped, getting up. "I just hunted. I'm not gonna attack her."

"I trust you Stella, but this is my daughter and I just met you. Are you sure you can handle it?" Bella asked.

"I am positive Bella. I would never do anything to hurt your daughter." And with that she walked upstairs.

***~~~***Stella's POV***~~~***

I was nervous as I walked up to Renesmee's room. What if she didn't like me? I don't know what I would do if that happened.

I opened the door, and there she was, sitting on her bed and reading a book.

"First of all, don't treat me like a kid. Everybody else does that enough." She said without looking up.

"Easy. I'll treat you as if you're 20 if you want." I said.

"Second. You treat Jacob as if he were one of us. He's my other half and if you insult me, you insult him."

"He actually seems like a really great guy. He cares about you a lot." I responded.

"Yeah." She smiled, then got up and walked towards me.

"And lastly...welcome to the family." She said then hugged me. I was shocked at first, checked my control, then hugged her back.

"Thanks." I whispered. She let go of me and walked to her bed. She patted next to her and I sat down.

"So, tell me about yourself," she said, "How were you changed?" Of course she started with the hardest question.

"Um...I know you said to not treat you like a kid, but you really are too young to hear the details. I still have trouble telling it after all these years. I can however give you the short version. Do you know about Jasper's past?" I asked. She nodded. "You know Maria?" She nodded again.

"Maria was my older sister, she changed me 8 years after she was changed. She had just finished training Jasper. It was really bad and I didn't have the best judgment. I think I'll leave it at that."

"Why were you so...upset earlier?" She asked cautiously.

"Nessie, I am so sorry about that. I have some serious problems controlling my thirst. We think its because of the conditions of my change and it happens when I'm very angry or upset. But I would never hurt you. I promise." I told, her hoping she'd understand. She slowly nodded.

"Why are you and Uncle Jasper so close? Are you dating? Or were you dating?" She asked me.

"No we're not dating." I said with a laugh. "When I was changed, Maria hated me. Jasper took me under his wing and helped me. I was a newborn for a little longer than others. After I got out of it, we stuck together. Maria wasn't very happy about it, so we tried sneaking out. We always went back though. But one time he didn't."

We were both silent for a minute after that.

"How come Jasper never mentioned you?" She asked.

"I'm not really sure why. He has a hard time with his past I think. I'll have to ask him that one myself." I replied. I was curious about that too. "Enough about me. Tell me about you."

"Well, my mom, Bella, was pregnant with me when she was human. The experience wasn't the best. I tried to be gentle, but it hurt her very badly. My dad changed her after I was born. And then Jacob imprinted on me." She ended wistfully. "When I found out I was upset. But it brought us closer I think. I'm much closer to the pack now."

"What are some things you like to do? I have to know to make up for the years I wasn't here." I said.

"Well, I play piano, and a little guitar and violin. I love running with Jake. I am fluent in 5 languages and I like music, shopping, and spending time with the pack." She said. "How about you?"

"I also love music. I love to sing and dance. I play piano, guitar, violin, drums, bass, banjo, and cello. I love Latin dancing. I enjoy fighting? But the only one who ever stands a chance is Jasper." I whispered the last part at her and we both laughed. Then I heard her stomach growl. "Come on. Let's go get you something to eat. Plus I think Peter and Charlotte are gonna be here any second with my stuff. And I think Jacob's very worried about you. He thinks I'm too dangerous."

We walked downstairs hand in hand, much to the family's surprise.
