Kira POV

I made it up to my room as quickly as I could without drawing attention to myself. The last thing I needed tonight was to be drug into a security problem. I had too much floating around my head to think clearly about work.

Once inside my room, I leaned up again the closed door with my eyes closed. I was close to hyperventilating. I took several slow, deep breaths trying my best to calm down.

I couldn't believe what just happened. I had gone from Seth's friend to his imprint in the matter of a few seconds and I had a funny feeling nothing was ever going to be the same again.

I kicked off from door, taking off my jacket and my gun. I threw the jacket on my couch haphazardly and placed my gun in the safe I had installed behind the fake Monet painting on the far wall. I had insisted on the safe once I was required to carry a firearm. The owner grumbled slightly about the remodel, but I had stood firm on the issue. If I was to own a gun, I was going to have a safe place to store it when not on duty.

I entered my bathroom, running cold water in the sink and splashing my face with it several times. I looked up at my reflection in the mirror and frowned at myself. My eyes were pure white. I hadn't realized I was upset enough for my eye color to bleed out. Now I was doubly thankful I made it up to my room without being stopped. I really didn't want to try and explain my eyes to anyone I worked with. I made a mental note to grab my glasses before I left the room again. They were not prescription, of course, but they did have some tinting. Just enough to hide the colorless state of my eyes.

I dried my face with a towel, then focused on my reflection. A few seconds later the color began to return to my eyes. I sighed, taking a seat on the edge of the bathtub.

What was I going to do? I loved Seth, but to have a relationship with him would mean a big change in my life. Everything I did in the future would be about us, not just me. Married people did this all the time, but then again, those people weren't looking at a lifespan of eternity. My family was comprised of married couples looking at eternity. What the hell was I afraid of?

I got up and paced the bathroom.

I knew what Seth wanted. It was plainly laid out in his emotions. He wanted a mate, a lover, a wife. He wanted a family. Kids. I began to hyperventilate again. Did Seth want kids? Did I want kids?

"Lord, woman!" I reprimanded myself. "Stop jumping ahead! It won't help you decide anything!"

Great, now I was talking to myself. Before I could start an argument with myself, my phone chimed. I returned to the living room and fished the phone out of my jacket pocket.

Got out of Fight. When and Where?

My heart skipped a beat or two. I was gonna have to get my shit together and fast. I had hoped Paul would insist on Seth going to the boxing match. It would have given me more time to think. Oh well, so much for that idea. I quickly typed in a reply.

Great! I'll find U

"OK, I know what to do." I whispered to myself as I found the right number in my speed dial. I held the phone to my ear and waited.

"Hello Kira!" Alice practically shouted into the phone. "How's the visit with the pack. I've lost sight of you since they arrived. Tell me everything."

I pulled the phone away from my ear and examined the screen. Yep, I had dialed Jasper's number. Figures I'd get Alice the one time I really didn't want to talk to her.

"Hey, Alice. My dad around?"

"He's outside causing trouble with Emmett and Nessie. Those two are teaching her things she doesn't need to know. I swear Bella is gonna kill them both." She paused. "What's wrong?" The concern was thick in her voice now, replacing the jovial tone.

"Nothing's wrong, per say, I just need to talk to Jasper. I promise I'll dish everything to you on our regularly scheduled gossip day. I'm betting I'll have alot to talk about by then."

Alice giggled, her concern gone. "I"m gonna hold you to that. Here's your dad."

My father must have heard Alice harassing me from outside.

"Hey Darlin', what's wrong?"

"Why does something have to be wrong? Can't a daughter call her father just to talk?"

There was a long pause on the other end of the line. He wasn't even breathing.

I sighed. "Fine. Nothing is wrong, really, but I do need some advice. Are we being eavesdropped on?"

I could hear Emmett and Nessie laugh in the background.

"Hold on a second."

I could hear Jasper tell Emmett and Nessie to stay in the house and Bella threaten Emmett when he tried to follow Jasper, then all I could hear was the unmistakable sound of a vampire running very fast while carrying a phone. A few moment's later Jasper came back on the line.

"OK, we're free of wandering ears. Just remember everything you say will probably get to Eddie eventually."

"I know. Once I've decided it really won't matter who knows." I could imagine the confused look on my father's face.

"Decide?" He asked, interested.

"Seth imprinted on me."

There was another pause and I found myself wishing I could see Jasper's face and feel his emotions. I'm sure he had on a look of surprise, possibly with a slight grin. Jasper liked Seth and always encouraged me to tell him how I felt.

"Wow, you're sure?"

"Oh yeah, his emotions knocked me on my ass and damn near knocked me out. I was just lucky Jake was behind me to catch me before I hit the floor."

"Well, damn. I guess congratulations are in order. I'm happy for both of you."

It was my turned to pause. I really didn't know what to say next.

"Talk it out, darlin'. There's something you need to work out in your head. I'm listening."

"I just don't know what to do. It's all just happening so fast. I mean, it's up to me to decide if I want to be with him or not. He made it clear that I could do what i wanted and he'd live with my decision, but how can I choose not to be with him? I felt what he feels towards me. I can't ignore that. I mean, this is what I wanted, but now that it's actually a reality and not an impossibility, I just don't know..."

"Breath, Kira, breath. Slow down and think about this rationally. There were two reasons why you decided to not attempt a relationship with Seth. 1, he's underage and 2, he could imprint at any time and break both of your hearts."

"That's right." I confirmed, trying my best to breath slower.

"OK, number 1 is gone, since he's 21 now. He's younger than you, but at least he's legally an adult. Besides, if you wait around for someone your own age, you'll never find love. Number 2 is also gone if indeed he has imprinted on you. The only two rational reasons you had for not pursuing him are gone."

"Yeah, I know..." I said quietly.

"But?"

"I'm scared." I hadn't realized it at first, but that was it. I was terrified, not so much of commitment, but of change. This was going to change my life forever.

Jasper chuckled lightly. "Well, of course your scared. This is a huge change. A huge commitment. You were probably too young to remember, but when I first found you and decided to raise you myself, I was terrified. I could have left you there, but something about you pulled to me. I was terrified that I'd hurt you or you'd grow up to be a psychopath from being around a vampire all the time, but I took the chance. Just think what I would have missed out on in my life if I had given in to my fear and left you in that field."

I thought back and he was right, I couldn't remember his emotions on that day, but I did remember something else.

"You were scared when you first met Alice."

Jasper laughed this time. "Yes, I was. I'm surprised you remembered that. You were a little lost in your own world at the time. I was scared that Alice would be like Maria. Just a bunch of false love and manipulation. I didn't know if I wanted her anywhere near you, either. Here was this vampire who knew everything about me, telling me we were meant to join her. If I hadn't trusted her, well, I don't even want to think what would have become of me if I hadn't found Alice."

There was a long pause. I knew my father hated to think what life would have been like if Alice hadn't found us. He had such a rough time with his empathy and feeding on humans. It was hard to feel the fear radiate off someone while you're the one killing them. Unfortunately, we both had that burden to bare. The thought made me shutter and I pushed the memories back.

I finally broke the silence. "I think we're both pretty lucky we ending up where we did."

"Yes, we are." Jasper paused and took a deep breath. "Do what makes you happy, darlin'. It's all I ever wanted for you."

"Yeah, I think I might be able to make a rational decision now. Thanks, dad. You're always there when I need you."

"You're welcome. One more thing, though. Do you mind if I put in my 2 cents about you and Seth?"

"Go ahead dad."

"Seth is a good kid, Kira. I think you could be happy together. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who would love you more."

I smiled to myself. "Thanks. I love you, ya know."

"I love you too. Just do me one favor. When you decide one way or the other, give me a call. Alice will drive me crazy until she knows for sure. That is, if you want me to tell the rest of the family about this. I'm sure I can keep it a secret from them for at least a few days. It's up to you."

It was offering alot for Jasper to keep his mind occupied from Uncle Eddie for a few days so this could remain secret. It could be done, but the constant focus was exhausting. "That's OK dad, you can tell them. Just try and keep them off my phone for a couple of days. I just need time to work this out without my phone ringing off the hook. It'll drive Alice crazy not being able to see what's going on."

"You got it."

I looked up at the clock. I'd been on the phone for nearly a half an hour. "I gotta go, dad. I need to shower and change before I go track down Seth and work this all out. Thanks for the talk. It really helped."

"Anything for you. It's what I'm here for. Take care and good luck."

"Thanks."

I hung up the phone, feeling much better. I knew what I wanted to do. I quickly jumped into the shower. I wanted to be out of the room in a half an hour. It wouldn't take long to find Seth.

To be continued...

I really like writing interactions between Jasper and Kira. I love Jasper so much. Anyway, hope you enjoyed and as always, let me know what you think.
