Jasper pounced Peter, pinning him to a nearby tree by his neck.
"Is this some kind of sick joke?!" Jasper snarled.
"No, I swear, Major!" Peter choked out.
"Jasper, stop!" Marrisa begged.
Jasper was too furious and confused to even hear what was going on around him. He continued to put pressure, making Peter's neck start to crack.
"Jasper, please!" Charlotte cried.
Melody ran to Jasper, grabbing his chilled fist. She was crying.
"Dad, please don't hurt him!"
Jasper froze. When he loosed his grip on Peter, he disappeared. Jasper whirled around, searching. The warm grip on his hand settled him again. He looked down into the brown, teary eyes of his...daughter. Emmett and Carlisle stood close by. Jasper knelt down very slowly, eye level with his child.
"You have my eyes," Jasper whispered, smiling. "Well, the eyes I used to have."
Melody started to smile, but her bottom lip started to tremble. She was so happy. So very happy to finally find her family. She threw her arms around Jasper, her sobs echoing through the forest. Jasper immediately snatched her up, holding her tightly. He stood tall, still holding Melody. He vowed to himself that he would never lose his girls again.
He held an arm out to Marrisa and she immediately ran into the embrace. There they were, a family of three. Esme had covered her mouth, her teary eyes threatening to spill over. Peter and Charlotte were watching fondly, Peter was still hiding behind Charlotte.
Edward's Volvo pulled into the drive then, Bella in the passenger seat. Edward got out first, coming over to Jasper. A smile spread across his face when he heard what was going on through everyone's minds. Jasper put down his daughter, smiling sheepishly. Edward pulled Jasper into a hug.
"This is great news," Edward said.
He then sped over to open Bella's door, helping her out of the car. Marrisa ran over to her excitedly, grabbing her hands.
"There's someone I want you to meet!" Marrisa dragged Bella forward.
They stopped in front of Jasper and Melody. Jasper smiled proudly, nodding in greeting.
"Bella. This is Melody, our daughter," Marrisa introduced, placing her hand in Melody's shoulder.
Bella's eyes widened. "What?"
"Let's go inside," Edward suggested.
Esme went straight into the kitchen to make the three humans lunch. Everyone sat in the living room, waiting for someone to start.
"I guess I'll start," Marrisa said. "I suppose we're all wondering how you two came across her."
Peter nodded. "I was snooping around. Trying to figure out where Maria would disappear to. I found out that she was keeping Melody there. I snuck in and I scared her. So, she attacked me."
