Make This Work [Jasper]

[Alice Cullen]

For every moment of lonliness over the past year, Alice could count the moments she would spend with Jasper from now on. The moments together outweighed all of her lonliness and then some. For as long as they existed, Alice would never take for granted the love she and Jasper shared. He was her soul mate, other half, best friend, and love of her existence. Being held in his arms felt more like home than anywhere else she had ever been or would ever go. Feeling his lips press against her forehead as he talked, she smiled and exhaled happily. Lifting her head, she turned so that her chest was against his laying on the bed. His skin against hers was like silk and she loved how it felt. Her heart was in the clouds and over the moon.

"How should we tell them that we're married again?" she asked, playfully tracing circles on his chest around the scars that were scattered there. "I think it might be amusing to just walk into the house separately at first and then when they're least expecting it, I just walk over to you and stand with you." In her head, Alice was thinking of the looks on the faces of their family when she placed her hand on Jasper's chest with her engagement and wedding ring in place. She knew that Rose's expression would be the most priceless of all, considering how close she was to Jasper. Edward, of course, would already know everything because of his gift of mind reading, but she knew he wouldn't say anything out of politeness. She knew that their parents, Carlisle and Esme, would be exuberant that their family was together again. And Alice knew that Bella and Renesmee would be so very excited to see that she and Jasper were happy together.

Jasper smiled and then let out a chuckle. “I think that is a brilliant idea, although I do agree we won’t be able to hide much from Edward.” He imagined his brother grinning at him as he enter the home after Alice, he know it would be impossible to keep his mind off of being married to her. “I actually think that would be a rather nice way to announce our good news to the family.” He was glad that things were back to normally and could not wait to be with the rest of the family to share the good news. “When do you think we should retreat from our honeymoon?” he said kissing her. “ I know you and I will hate to do so, but I promise you we might be running off often after we get rid of the big bad wolves and have no more worries.” He beamed at her as he looking into her eyes.

Jasper was kind of looking forward to the battle that would eventually take place; it had been a while since he felt like he was a part of the family fighting with them instead of against them. It was going to be even better fighting alongside Alice, but he was pretty sure she could handle herself quite well, although he still was going to be her secret protector.
