After Time [Twilight Fan Fiction]

22. Prepare

A/N: I didn't read through this chapter fully if anything doesn't make sense, let me know. The next chapter will get pretty hot and heavy, probably a little more R rated than I've ever written. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Peter

Was it possible for a vampire to be this nervous?

I had never felt this level of nervousness in my vampire existence. It became harder to concentrate on packing and moving things when my thoughts derailed down a lustful tunnel.

"Please, knock it off, Peter," Jasper whispered across from me.

I looked up at him, into his eyes, which might as well have been a mirror of my own.

"We have to do this, Jasper. It's harder to deny. Tomorrow, we have her, together."

Jasper nodded as he dropped the box. We both groaned as we sat on the back of the truck Garrett had rented.

"Do you honestly think we can do this without hurting her?" Jasper asked, worry and fear in his tone.

I moved closer to him and wrapped an arm around his back. "I know we can do this because she's asked us. We could never harm her, she's our other half."

Jasper nodded but I could still tell he was nervous. "I just don't want to hurt her. I worry..."

I lifted his chin to see tears in his eyes. Raising an eyebrow, I gave him that look to start talking. "I know she's seen my scars, but what if I can't pleasure her, love her the way she needs. Being gentle with a human for the first time, I worry I may hurt her without trying to."

"The difference between us, Jas," I said as I stared into his teary eyes, "is that I know in my gut that we'll love her better than we could hope. When we come together, it's going to be more than we've ever felt. Once we've had each other intimately, we'll wonder how we ever lived without each other, without her in our lives. We'll never love or care for others, when one dies we all die."

Jasper reached up and kissed my lips. When we were finished outside, we both ran inside holding hands. Robyn was in her bedroom reading a book as she had been doing for the past few days since we started packing. The only time she wasn't reading was when she went with Garrett into town. I knew that she needed the time away, but I didn't exactly know what for until she mentioned it being for her last day as a human. I didn't think about it like that, but the night we made love for the first time would be her last day as human. She didn't seem upset about the prospect of her human life, she was more nervous about her life as a vampire.

"Peter and I have decided that tomorrow will be our day," Jasper said as he sat beside her in the window seat.

She looked up to meet my gaze. It was strange, at first, that she never accepted something from one of us without seeking confirmation from the other. It worked for us though as no one felt left out of huge decisions.

"It's true. I'm going to give you and Jas a minute alone. I need to speak with Garrett about a few things. Make sure he's not here tomorrow evening," I said with a smirk in Robyn's direction. Instead of blushing, she matched my smirk with one of her own. The little minx knew what she was doing to us both with her smirks.

I closed the door behind me as I left them both to talk. Garrett was downstairs in living room watching something on TV. New Year's was just around the corner and most of the humans were gathering in big cities for the festivities.
