A/N A huge thanks to my friend OoJasper'sAngeloO for her beta work on this chapter. Thanks girl, I love you. Alright, in this chapter we see Carlisle and Esme seeing Jasper and you'll find out more of his condition. They will also be meeting Catherine. We also get to see what Bella is thinking about her husband's actions. A huge thanks goes to Lady Skyelite for allowing me to use a statement she said in one her reviews, it was so funny that I just had to use it. I think you'll know which statement it is. Hope you enjoy.
I still don't own Twilight or any of the characters. I do own Catherine.
Rose's POV
While I was waiting for the rest of the family to come home I knew I had to call Peter. He would probably know if there was any way to save Jasper. Yeah, his arms and legs could be reattached that wasn't the problem. He was so frenzied, wild, more like the monster that he had been when he served Maria.
I had gone back down there to try to talk to him and all he did was thrash and roll his body around while snarling, growling, looking crazed. I did notice that when I mentioned Catherine's name he only got worse. I had told him that Catherine would be here soon.
When Peter answered he of course already knew there was trouble. He came up with an idea that sounded perfect, but he wouldn't explain why when I asked him about the reason for the need. I did agree that it would be best if Edward and Alice were sent on this errand. It would take them a couple of days, but we would need that time if Peter's knower was correct.
Now I would just have to convince Carlisle of the need and make sure he sent Edward and Alice together. Peter said for me to appeal to Carlisle's sense of compassion, that's the only way it would work. Then I had an idea, I would tell him that I needed a large amount of blood and the only place to get it was Boston.
He said that it would work if I worked it right. I told Peter that I would call when I knew for sure that it worked. I also told him that I would call Bella and make sure that she didn't bring Catherine until after they had left. That meant that everything would have to appear "normal" until they were gone.
Peter said that they would go and stay with Catherine. As soon as dumb and dumber were gone, they would bring her. We would keep Nessie away, by making it appear that I took her shopping and she would stay with Catherine. Bella would go home and pretend that she hadn't seen Jasper.
I called a hospital in Boston and using my credentials as a doctor explained that I needed blood and was sending another doctor to pick it up for me. He had ID that stated exactly that. Now all I had to do was convince Carlisle to send them. Alice was going to do some shopping for me.
It was easier than I thought. I explained that I had an old patient call me and that she needed help. She had to stay out of the system as she had met a vampire and was now pregnant with his child. He was no where to be found. She would need the large amount of blood just like Bella did with Nessie.
I told him that she realized that I too was a vampire as the vampire had the same cold, hard, skin and he had told her that he knew of animal drinking vampires that had gold eyes instead of the red. She put two and two together and figured out I must have been a vampire.
I had promised that I would help her through the pregnancy. At first he wanted to meet this girl himself and I reminded him of how sick Bella got before she started drinking blood. I promised him that once they were back with the blood then I would let him meet her.
He then told Edward that he was to fly to Boston and pick up the blood. Alice would go to a special store there and buy me some dresses that I had been wanting. Of course she can never turn down a chance to go shopping. I told her that maybe she might find a few things for her upcoming wedding.
Edward fought to keep from going, but in the end Bella came through just like she promised she would and he ended up booking a flight to Boston for both himself and Alice. I hated that they wouldn't leave until the next evening but there was nothing I could do. I needed both Carlisle and Esme to see for themselves what their precious kids were capable of.
I had gone back to the cabin as I was supposedly shopping with Nessie. Peter and Char had come back here, but now would be going to the house to follow them to make sure they got on the flight. Peter called me to give me an update on the fact that both Edward and Alice had apparently gone to visit Jasper.
They both kept trying to calm him down and give him blood. He went even more wild than what I had seen. At least that was the impression Peter got, as he couldn't actually see him. I asked Peter if he could be brought back. He seemed to be optimistic about Jasper being able to come back to himself.
In the meantime Catherine was beyond heartbroken. Her husband, her mate was in pain and there was nothing that we could do to speed any of this up. We had to be careful, otherwise they could cover their tracks and then we would never be able to prove that they were the monsters not Jasper.
She was refusing to sleep or eat. I did remind her that Jasper would be very pissed off if she was sick when he got better. Unfortunately she wouldn't sleep more than an hour or two at a time. The nightmares would wake her up and then she couldn't go back to sleep.
Finally Peter called and said they had watched them board the plane and then watched it takeoff. They were on their way back to the house and we would meet them there with Catherine. Although Peter suggested waiting until Carlisle and Esme had seen Jasper themselves, before actually bringing Catherine to the house.
Emmett took Catherine and Nessie to the house while I met with Carlisle and Esme ahead of them. Once I told them that there was something they needed to see and we were headed to the cottage where their nightmares would begin. On the way there I started to explain why I had really asked them to send Edward and Alice away. He needed to see the truth about his gifted children.
Of course when I told him that Jasper had gone missing he just chocked it up to that he hasn't been staying with the family for awhile now; how did I know he was "missing"? Then I told him that it was because his granddaughter had found him and I have seen him. I told him nothing about Catherine or her being Jasper's mate and wife. All of this was going to come as a big shock to both of them and I knew this was going to hurt them. I would take this one thing at a time.
Bella in the meantime had gone back to her own home that had been violated by becoming a prison for her brother-in-law. She was going to be doing some packing, as she had decided that she couldn't stay in a place that had become a torture chamber for someone she truly cared about. It was killing her that her own husband could be so cruel.
Once we got there she told us to come in. She was going to help with being there and telling our "parents" what Edward and Alice had been up to. The only thing we didn't know was why they did what they did to Jasper, but we were pretty sure that they were trying to force Jasper into marrying Alice. The only definite thing we did know was that it had been them to somehow overpower him and make him a prisoner.
We both took them down into the basement. When I had gone down there before I had been very careful not to touch anything or go down any further than to just see Jasper. I didn't want Edward or Alice to smell that I had been any further down than the entrance. With our vampire vision it wasn't hard to see him, but now it wouldn't matter if our scents had been left behind.
I let Bella explain to Carlisle and Esme how we came to find him. Of course they couldn't believe that anyone in the family could do what Bella was telling them. It just had to be a huge misunderstanding. Just before opening the door to the basement which was sound proof, my phone rang and it was Peter asking if he could join us. I quickly explained that we were just about to head down and that they hadn't seen him yet.
I told them that Peter would be here in a minute along with Char. Their expertise would be needed once they saw Jasper and I was truly hoping that maybe they could help him. I knew that since they had served together with Maria that maybe they knew of a way to help him.
Carlisle was starting to become annoyed and I could see that he was about to leave when Peter and Char showed up. I knew they were hurting for Jasper whom they hadn't even seen yet, but they were also hurting for Catherine who was barely hanging on. They had stopped by the house to see her and she had begged them to help Jasper. Of course she didn't need to ask, but since no one would bring her to her mate, she was desperate to make sure someone took care of him.
Bella and I went first and opened the door. We were immediately assaulted with ferocious snarls and growling. We could also hear him throwing his body around in an attempt to attack his captors. When I saw him again he didn't even look like himself and the rage could be clearly seen on his face.
It took a few seconds for Carlisle and Esme to even recognize who or what they were looking at. Carlisle spoke first, "Jasper? What happened son?"
When Esme realized it was Jasper she started to run to him, but Peter was able to pull her back. Carlisle kept saying he couldn't believe that someone would do something like this to anyone, let alone a family member.
Bella then spoke up, "Carlisle, is there anything we can do to help him? Obviously he's not going to allow us to get close enough to reattach his limbs."
He seemed to study Jasper for a minute before turning back to Bella, "Has anyone found his limbs yet?"
"Yes Carlisle. They were under my bed. The one that I have shared with my husband who is a true monster. Rose searched after finding him and told me about it. We would have just thrown them in there with him but we were kind of worried about him possibly doing more damage to them. He's so crazed."
"Well, I can try to approach him with them and hopefully he might calm down. If he doesn't though, I'm afraid that we might just have to burn him. Even thinking about having to do that is painful, but I have seen two vampires that were this volatile, they both had to be destroyed. The pain they were going through was too much and they never recovered. If he won't let us near him, then we may have no choice." Carlisle told us with sadness in his voice.
Peter spoke up then, "Are you sayin' that you think that he will need to be "put down" like a rabid dog? He's your son, or at least as much as he can be. Did it ever fucking occur to you that maybe he's gotten this bad because he's been separated from his mate?"
"Well, Rose was the one to tell me to send Alice away, but I'm sure that we can call. . ." he started to say, but was cut off by Peter who now had him pinned to the wall in the living room.
"Do NOT stand there and try to say that Alice is his mate. I know for a fuckin' fact that she's not. She never has been and she surely ain't ever gonna be. You see, I happen to know his true mate and she's at the main house right now waitin', desperate to get a phone call and tell her that she can come now. So, do not try to say that Alice is his mate." he growled in Carlisle's face.
"Well, if she's not his mate then why did he ask her to marry him?" Esme asked.
"He didn't. I'm pretty sure that somehow, Alice and Edward were able to ambush him and they were going to hold him here until he went along with their fucking plans." I hissed out.
Peter who had let Carlisle go spoke up again, "Now, how about we get his true mate here and see if she can work her magic as his mate on him and calm him down enough to get his limbs back on and get him fed. He's in pain all right, but not from his limbs being removed. He's hurtin' because he's been separated from his mate."
While Carlisle was still in shock and still couldn't quiet believe that Edward and Alice were capable of doing this he agreed to allow Catherine to try. I had my doubts, but Peter didn't have any and at least that made me feel better. I called Emmett and told him it was time to bring our daughter here.
I told Carlisle that we would be talking, but not until Jasper was better. Him and Esme needed to know everything, including the fact that we considered Catherine to be our daughter. I hated that he had to meet her this way, but thanks to fucking stupid and stupider it couldn't be helped.
When Em walked in with her she didn't look well at all, but then I couldn't really say I was surprised, as she hasn't been eating or sleeping. I quickly introduced her to Carlisle and Esme. She nodded, but wouldn't speak to them. Em explained that she was too pissed to talk to any of the family besides us and Bella and Nessie.
Em had brought the blood that he had gotten to give to Jasper or Catherine would give it to him. We talked it over and decided that we would go down with Carlisle and Catherine to make sure she didn't get hurt. If she could calm him down, then Carlisle could put his limbs back on.
I quickly explained her hearing loss so that they would know to make sure she was looking at them if they spoke to her. I could tell though that she probably wouldn't talk to them anyway. She was almost as bad as Jasper in the way that she wasn't really talking anymore. If she couldn't reach Jasper, then we would end up losing them both.
She was a wreck and I knew that it would only get worse when she saw how bad Jasper is. Peter said that while we would all be going down there except for Bella who would stay with Nessie upstairs, we needed to let Catherine take control and we would stay back. No talking and no interference unless she was in danger.
She went down first and I had to turn on the light as she wouldn't be able to see. Jasper was snarling and I whispered into Catherine's ear to start talking to him. She called his name loudly and Carlisle was surprised when the snarling became lower in volume. She kept talking to him, "Jasper, please calm down for me. I need to help you. I love you, please let me come closer."
The snarling had almost stopped and feeling encouraged she got to the bottom step. As soon as her feet touched the floor she got down on her hands and knees. She never once stopped talking to him or even hesitated, she continued to go towards him. By the time she had gotten within a foot of him his snarling had stopped completely.
Then something happened that had us all sighing in relief. He spoke one word, but it spoke volumes, "Catherine?"
She closed the distance between them and started to kiss him. Carlisle wanted to stop her, but Peter hissed at him. Peter was wanting to just rip them all apart and be done with it. She was crying and yet was still talking to him in between kisses.
After a few minutes she explained to Jasper that we had his limbs and some blood for him. Would he allow Carlisle to help reattach them? He nodded and whispered,"Please."
She refused to leave him and instead placed his head very tenderly on her lap. He was covered in venom and Carlisle needed to remove the clothing he had on in order to attach the limbs, so we left so that he could go to work.
While waiting for them to be done, Bella went to the house to bring Jasper some clothes. She was more upset than I have ever seen her. Her whole world had just been shattered by the very one that she loved more than anyone other than her daughter. She told me, "Rose, I'm so fucking sorry for my part in ignoring what Edward was doing. He had me believing that Jasper was dangerous and evil. I know that I have seen that Jasper has a good heart, but between him refusing to make Alice happy and their poison they kept feeding me, I truly believed their lies. How could I have been so fucking stupid? Is there any way that he might be able to forgive me and let me try to make it up it to him?"
"Yes, he will. As long as you accept Catherine and help her. She is his true mate. I think that you'll see the difference in this Jasper though. You remember being told about his other persona? Well, they have merged now and this Jasper will not stand and allow anyone to demean him and don't even think about looking at Catherine wrong, he'll kill anyone who tries. I think you'll like this new Jasper. I just hope that this shit hasn't done any mental damage."
Peter spoke up then,"Not to worry. He'll be fine after he's healed and had a chance to feed. I'm more worried about Catherine right now. She wasn't looking too good. She seemed to be pale, of course that's probably from not eatin' or sleepin' like she should have been. I just fuckin' hope that neither Carlisle or you Esme, are going to try to fuckin' make excuses for Edward and Alice this time. Its time that the truth comes out, all of it."
Carlisle came back and told us that Jasper's limbs were back and he was healing. The blood had helped and he was amazed at the fact that it was Catherine who actually helped him to drink it. He was going to go and grab some of the blood bags that he had and bring them here. In the meantime, we needed to go back to the house and he needed to call and get Edward and Alice back here, the blood could wait.
Peter again spoke up, "No Carlisle. Let Edward get the blood, my knowin' shit is tellin' me that its going to be needed."
He didn't like it, but agreed. I went to the door along with Bella who was still wanting to help both Jasper and Catherine. I knew not to go down there, but told Catherine that when Jasper could he was welcome to take a shower and there were some clean clothes for him as well as for her. Bella had brought her some too. Bella told them to make themselves at home and to take as long as they needed to, but to come to the main house when they were ready.
I heard Jasper's raspy voice ask where Edward and Alice were. I quickly explained what we had done about getting them out of here to try to help him. Once they were back there would be a family meeting, but we wanted to have one first to get everything out in the open with Carlisle and Esme. He just said, "Alright."
It was almost eight hours later before they walked in the house, both looking much better. Well Jasper was, but Catherine was still looking pale. They had both fed, Jasper was able to hunt and he went while Catherine had fixed a meal and eaten.
The meeting was held in the living room and Jasper was hanging onto Catherine and she wasn't going to let him go any time soon. Jasper started first, telling us that Alice had gotten a friend of hers that owed her a favor, that had a gift. He could paralyze a vampire.
He had gotten a call from Alice to come to the cottage, Nessie was in danger. When he got here the other vampire was out of sight and watching for Alice's signal to use his gift on Jasper. Edward and Alice confronted him, telling him he needed to stop his "fucking shit" as Alice had put it and marry her. He needed to "man up" and start making his mate happy.
He had no sooner told them they could go and fuck themselves and he was suddenly unable to move. Edward removed his limbs and threw him down in the basement saying, "You'll stay down there until you agree to marry Alice. She deserves to be happy."
It wasn't the pain of his limbs being removed that made him feral. It was the separation from his mate. He was worried and scared that they would find her and hurt her. It made him crazy with rage to think of her in the clutches of Edward and Alice.
"Edward and Alice need to be dealt with. They hurt my mate by hurtin' me. That is unacceptable. I will deal with them." Jasper growled out.
"Jasper, son please let us talk to them. I'm sure there has to be some misunderstanding. Surely, they didn't do this out of anything, but that. They just misunderstood. I'm sure they have a perfectly good explanation." Esme said.
It was Peter's growl that got everyone's attention, "Are you fuckin' shittin' us? Those two deserve nothing but to have their limbs ripped off and burned for what they have put Jasper through. I know that Rose and Emmett have told you some of the fucked up shit they have pulled on him. They ain't worth usin' the bullet it would take to blow a gnat's butt hairs off."
After a good laugh at what Peter had said, we spent the next few hours telling our parents and Bella just what Edward and Alice were capable of. They became more discouraged as they heard of every cruel action taken against Jasper while they weren't paying attention and even believing them over Jasper.
Catherine had sat in silence just listening. She was in Jasper's lap and neither one was going to let go, at least not for long. Bella told us that she wasn't going to be going back to the cottage and that Edward was more than welcome to stay there, but he wasn't going to be living with her and Nessie. At least for a while.
I heard Catherine tell Jasper she needed a human moment and went to get up. As soon as she stood up, she swayed and then passed out. Jasper was up and caught her before she could hit the floor. It only took her a few seconds before she came to.
Jasper was in panic mode and told Carlisle to check her over to find out what was wrong. She looked up at Jasper and told him not to bother she already knew what was going on, "I'm sorry Jasper, but in all of this shit I forgot. I was so worried about you. I should have been taking better care of myself, but I love you and I needed you to be back with me. I was planning on telling you that night before you got the call. Please don't worry, its nothing serious. Well to me its not. I'm going to have your baby. . ."

Thank you for all of the reviews, alerts, and favorites. I love you guys. Next chapter Edward and Alice come home and face the family. Shits gonna fly for sure.
