A/N A huge thanks to my very dear friend OoJasper'sAngeloO for her beta work on this chapter. Alright, in this chapter we're going to see what the title means. Catherine has a very serious talk with Jasper, and gives him something to think about. I think you'll like it.
I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. I do however own Catherine.
Jasper's POV
I was still on the bed after our lovemaking. I had sat up and leaned myself up on my arm and had one leg stretched out while the other was bent with my foot flat on the bed. The only thing covered was my cock, with the sheet between my legs.
It wasn't that I didn't want her to see me, I just didn't want her to know that I was wanting more, another round. She's human and she needs to eat. Since its still early evening I figured that she can get dressed, and then after dinner I might bring her back here.
It was the most incredible feeling not having to wear a condom. I just wanted to bring her back here to our bed and make love to her over and over. That was the main problem with her being human, I didn't need to rest but she did.
I watched her as she went to the dresser that held my clothes. Even though she had enough clothes to wear she still seemed to prefer my t-shirts and boxers when it was just going to be the two of us. Since Peter and Char wouldn't be back until I called him she was safe for wearing what seemed to make her so fucking happy.
She was practically glowing with happiness. Her eyes had a sparkle in them that seemed to only become brighter with each day that we spent together. What really blew me away was the fact that I was the one to cause that sparkle in her eyes. I was the one that was making her so happy.
I knew then what I wanted to do, "Darlin', marry me!"
She looked at me and giggled, "Jasper, you already asked me and I think I might have said yes already."
"No, I'm not asking you to marry me, I'm asking you to marry me right now! Well, maybe not right this minute, but I was thinkin' maybe about getting Peter, Char, Rose and Em and goin' to Las Vegas and getting married tomorrow."
She turned serious then and came over to the bed and sat down. She was dressed unfortunately, but I really wanted her naked. I pulled her over to me and smirked while removin' the clothes she had just put on using my vampire speed.
"Before I agree to anything there's something that I need to talk to you about. Its too important to put off so please do not try to seduce me while I'm trying to talk to you. I'm not sure how you're going to take this so please promise to just hear me out."
I was worried and felt her emotions. She was determined more than anything else. So I agreed to just listen to her. I waited as she seemed to be trying to figure out how to say whatever was bothering her.
"I guess the best way to say this is to just come right out and say it. Jasper, I can't marry you, not if you keep Hale as your last name. It's what ties you to that fucked up group that consider themselves to be a family. I know that you told me about the Major, your other persona and I want to see you try to blend him with Jasper Whitlock.
I love you and you are an amazing man, but the man you are because of that family needs to become who he was meant to be. Someone who is strong and will stand up against anyone who treats him with disrespect and like shit stuck to a shoe. Jas, that's NOT who you are.
I hate to say it, but it needs to happen. Jasper Hale needs to die. Major Jasper Whitlock needs to take his place. I know that you said that you can go by either Hale, Cullen or Whitlock. You need to drop Hale and Cullen. I want to be Mrs. Jasper Whitlock, not Hale or Cullen. I'll marry you right now if you think that this is something we can work on together.
I mean, I know that you care about several members of the family, but is it worth it to have to put up with the ugliness of the others? They are beyond cruel and you deserve love, respect and compassion. Unless they change their actions towards you, I want no part of them, nor for you to go back there.
Is this something that you can do? If not then I won't leave you, but I'm tired of seeing you hurting so badly after going back there. I'm not asking you to choose between them and me, I'm just saying that when you're ready to stand up to them, bring the Major out a little and refuse to be their doormat any longer, then I'll marry you, tomorrow if you still want to.
I do have a request before you decide. Would it be possible to meet the Major? I have a feeling that without the mean stupid shit those creatures do to you and say to you, that it will be easy to actually combine your two personalities.
I love you so much Jas and I want to see you happy. You don't need Edward or Alice to feel like a man who is worthy of respect and love. I understand that you care about Carlisle, Esme, Bella and Nessie. Maybe once the other two see that they can't control you anymore, then you can spend time with them. Maybe they should find out exactly what Edward and Alice have been doing. I'm willing to bet that they have no clue what is going on.
So you think about it and let me know. I want to marry you so bad, but I need to be your wife, with your real last name."
I had already thought about everything she had just said to me. I agreed with her completely and knew that both Rose and Em did as well. Even though I hadn't really thought about it as a Jasper Hale needs to die concept, but it worked. The only problem I had was the one question she had asked me, she wanted to meet the Major.
"Darlin', I agree with everything and with your help I will let Jasper Hale die. I don't need them as long as I have you. Although, I'm not sure about you meetin' the Major. He was a cold, calculating and sometimes cruel bastard. I have spent years keepin' him from comin' out and takin' over.
He's the one that has murdered, tortured and destroyed, not just vampires, but humans as well. He has no remorse for his actions and doesn't care about what others think or feel. How can I ask you to endure him? I would be worried that he might hurt you."
"He won't hurt me, he's part of you. You love me and I really believe that he does too. I don't know how I know that, I just do. If you were to be joined, I truly believe that it would be a man who is gentle, kind, loving and so full of compassion, yet who wouldn't allow anyone to disrespect or bring him down. He would stand up for himself. There is something else that I would like for you to consider.
You already know and so do I that there will come a day when you will bite me so that I can become like you. That's already a given, since we are mates. I know that what I'm about to say will shock you. When I'm turned; I don't want to drink from animals. I want to be like Peter and Char and drink from criminals.
I have spent a lot of time thinking about this and I keep thinking, what if Rose hadn't of stayed and found out about that creep that sexually tormenting not only me, a little girl, but other girls as well. What if I as a vampire I could take out a bastard that is doing things like that to others? I could be saving several lives by taking one life.
You don't have to change your diet and please don't think about it if it will bother you. Just let me have my diet as mostly human garbage, with a few animals here and there. Ugh! How in the hell did we get so far off topic? Just think about it and let me know. I need to know if I'm getting married tomorrow or not."
I quickly told her that I didn't need to think about it. I also told her that I would like for Rose, Em, Peter and Char to be there with us when we married. She agreed and then I told her that I would contact them while she slept and we could plan on leaving first thing in the morning.
I thought about packing some clothes, but then decided that we could buy whatever we needed. Besides, we wouldn't need clothes for the honeymoon. We talked for a few more minutes before she brought up meeting the Major again.
There was no way I was going to let him out without backup. I told her this and she suggested Peter and Char since they already knew him. I thought about it for a minute and had just decided that maybe she should meet the Major, as long as Peter and Char were there to stop him from hurting her. My phone went off.
Of course Peter and his knowing shit. He told me they were headed back and would be here in a few minutes. Since we both felt like I would need to try to merge both personalities together, she might as well find out what the Major is like.
While waiting for Peter and Char to get here, I decided to feel the Major out and see if I could tell what he felt towards Catherine. I told her that I was going to go and wait in the woods for them to get here. I also told her that I was going to try to find out what the Major was feeling towards her.
It has been so many fucking years since he has been allowed to come out and for good reason. He hated the Cullen's and with the exceptions of Emmett and Rose would probably just kill them. Especially because they disrespected me as a man, as well as a vampire who can destroy others without a thought.
I had spent so many years pushing him down and keeping him locked up that I had pretty much ignored him. Now I would have to "wake up" the sleeping monster. So I sat down on a log and went to the cage that held the most feared vampire ever known, at least in the South.
Peter showed up a few minutes later and understood what was going on. He didn't say a word, just sat down. I had found out that the Major knew about Catherine and knew she is our mate. He wouldn't hurt her, but he sure as fuck would protect her and right now he wanted to claim her.
I was going to tell Peter to have Char explain the Major more to Catherine, but he cut me off, "Just let him out and let him meet her. He can't hurt her anymore than you can. She's right you know. You need to allow him to merge with you and take a stand against those who only want to control you.
She called me from your phone while you were busy and told me what she thought you needed. I told her that she's right and that we would all be willin' to help you. With the Major's bad ass attitude and your compassion it would be a perfect blend. Its who you are meant to be. So let the fucker out and let him have some time with her. Then work on lettin' him stay and be part of you always."
Major's POV
As I came to the fore front I felt Jasper trying to stay with me. I need to have some time with our mate before we could become one. I let him know that I wanted a few hours at least with her. I needed to touch her, feel her underneath me, be the one to bring her pleasure, make her scream in ecstasy.
Jasper has had his time with her and I have felt her pleasure at being with him, but she's my mate as well and I will have her before I merge with Jasper. I also know that Jasper is worried for her safety but I won't hurt her, I can't. I love her too.
Peter must have sensed that it was me that is now in control, as he was in a more submissive posture. I turned to him and told him that I was going to spend some time with our mate. He and his mate would be making the arrangements for us to go to Las Vegas for our wedding.
She knew what Jasper needed and she was right about everything. I needed Jasper to help me be a gentle lover and Jasper needs me to be a strong man. One who understands his worth and will stand against those who dared to make us feel like we are less than a man.
I told Peter that he needed to stay away from the cabin as I wanted to spend time with our mate and claim her. He and Char needed to call Rose and tell them to come up with some way to be gone for at least a day, long enough for them to see us marry.
He then took his mate who had been standing a short distance away. She too knew who was out and he like most vampires wouldn't put his mate too close to me. He also knew to stay away from our mate at least until I had claimed her.
Another thing that Peter knew, is that our mate would be marrying us tomorrow. She would see that I am in control tonight and tomorrow we would merge for her. She would see that we need her to be by our side. Without another thought I made my way quickly towards our cabin and my mate. . .
A/N As you can see the Major came out. Please tell me your thoughts. Next chapter, we hear more from the Major and he meets his mate.
