Jasper

She threw her arms around my neck with a wide smile on her face. Her emotions were genuine and real, so unlike everything I felt for so long. She didn't know me, yet she still loved me strongly it appeared. I'd never let either of them out of my sight again. She nor Peter would be without me, or I without them again. It was us together forever and always, just like she said. I shared a smile with Peter and kissed his beautiful lips as Robyn pulled back. I could feel her watching but then I felt a spike in lust. It was such a surprised that I pulled back at looked at her. She only smirked but I could see the blush in her cheeks.

She was human. That had been a surprise. The biggest surprise when I saw her with Garrett. Peter hadn't turned her. I'd have to ask why later. Now, I could see I needed to deal with a certain pixie witch on the porch. Robyn stood beside me on my left while Peter stood on my right. I loved that they didn't want to be apart from me even by a few feet.

Then I felt the unfortunate disbelief. I found it in Rosalie's emotions as she stared in anger toward Robyn. I growled in warning toward her and she narrowed her eyes at me. Then I realized the reason Rosalie was doing this, Robyn was human and Rosalie wouldn't want her to become like us, a vampire.

"Rose, it's not your decision," I said to her as calmly as possible.

She scoffed, "You could at least ask the girl what she wants before assuming."

I roll my eyes at her. I know what Robyn wants without even asking her, I can feel her emotions.

Robyn cleared her throat as she looked at Rosalie. I glanced at Peter out the corner of my eye worried. He smirked at me. Obviously he and Garrett were used to this. For a moment I wondered the relationship between she and Garrett was, I guess I'd find out later.

"Rosalie, I assume that's you. Garrett told me you were the blonde woman who's nicknamed ice queen. Anyway, I understand your fascination with children, but I don't want any. I have the two best things I want in my life, I don't need anything else."

Rosalie rolled her eyes and I growled at her in warning, but I wasn't alone. "You don't know what you want, you're too young to make that choice."

Robyn rolled her eyes, "I've been alone yet surrounded by people my entire life. Now that I've gotten, not one but two mates, I'm not going to take that for granted. This is my choice. I'm sure once Carlisle or the pixie bitch tells the Volturi about Jasper's mateship, I'll be forced to turn anyway, it's been my choice to make until it's forced on me. My mates will not die because the Volturi feel threatened against us."

I stared at Peter and he nodded. Of course. That's why Carlisle would have been worried. Triads could pose trouble with the Volturi. I needed to handle this right and that meant keeping the major back for a while.

I place a hand on Robyn's shoulder, she smiles up at me brightly. I kiss her forehead before turning my gaze to the three I need the most. Esme has been quiet since she's been out here. Carlisle fidgets and I turn to Edward as I feel hope blooming around him. I never let myself think about it but now that I've accepted it, I think Edward has always been close to Alice.

"Edward," I say and he looks at me. He raises an eyebrow. "Just be with Alice already."

He looks shocked and does everyone else. Alice screeches and shakes her head, "No, that's not possible. Edward's supposed to be mated to someone else."
