question for you though, if i were to write some chapters from Jaspers POV, would you want them in order w these chapters or separated at the end or in another book?

"You two? Playing baseball? With the Cullens?" Charlie nearly laughs.

"Yup." Bella confirms.

"I'm just an umpire." I shrug, lifting my splinted wrist.

"Right." Charlie nods.

"Yeah...so boys, they're actually here now. They would like to meet you...officially." I practically stop breathing at that part.

Charlie puts on his tough dad face, picking up his shotgun that he had been cleaning.

"Be nice, please." Bella pleads as she gets the door. Charlie grumbles in response, setting the shotgun back down as he stands to his feet, just as the boys and Bella enter the kitchen.

"Chief Swan. I would like to formally introduce myself. I'm Edward Cullen." he reaches his hand to Charlie, who takes it reluctantly.

"Jasper Hale. Pleasure." Jasper stretches his hand out as well.

"Call me Charlie," he says much to my surprise, "You two watch over them. I don't want any funny business either. I am the Chief. I can make things happen if I choose to." he threatens vaguely.

"Of course sir." Jasper reassures him. We leave after Bella and I grab coats.

Both boys insist they open the doors for us, as if we could beat them there. Edward has to help Bella strap herself into the Jeep's off-road harness, making me laugh.

"You still have it." Jasper states happily as he slides in through the other back passenger door, Bella was sat in front with Edward.

"Still have what?" I ask curiously-having no clue what he meant-as I pull my own seatbelt on, with no difficulty unlike my sister.

He taps a finger on the coat I had slid on as we walked out. It was the one he had given me the day of the crash. It seemed like so long ago, we had just gotten the truck back last week after all the repairs Jake did for it.

"I like it. It smells like you." I say with complete honesty. I hadn't realized it was his coat when I grabbed it but I'm not complaining. I can't help but smile up at him, finding myself happier than I've ever been before

"I like it on you. Looks much better than it ever did on me." he grins, grabbing my hand in his. My eyes take in every inch of his face as Edward begins to drive.

His eyes are intense, full of warmth and something more. His lips are pulled into a gentle smile, one that is nothing less than welcoming. His overall expression exudes relaxation, compassion, joy. I lift my other hand across the distance between us to run it through his golden curls, loving how they bounce around as the Jeep begins to jostle us around.

As Edward drives, he and Bella talk quietly while Jasper and I remain silent. I unbuckled my seatbelt, which irritated Jasper until I slid closer to him, leaning my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arm around me, immediately shutting up about the seatbelt as he pulls me closer. I nestle my head against his chest, taking in the scent that I had quickly become accustomed to, and he lays his chin gently on my head.

We stay like that until Edward tells us we had arrived as far as the Jeep would allow us to travel. I lift my head reluctantly, having grown quite comfortable against Jasper. We can all sense Bella's intense hesitation at the understanding of what was next. Jasper silently pulls me along a few feet, helping me onto a log before turning his back to me. I wrap my arms around his neck and hop off the log, allowing myself to wrap my legs tightly around Jaspers waist.
