Here we go kiddies!
Chapter 3
Jasper stopped in front of a small white house that was fairly nondescript. It had a small porch, looked old and worn but not entirely unkempt. The old red truck sat majestically in the driveway next to a new BMW with darkly tinted windows.
"She drives it around town but out of town she takes our car," the booming male voice from the front porch alerted Jasper to Demetri's presence.
"And why does she have such a… vehicle anyway?" Jasper caught himself from calling it a hunk of junk, not wanting to upset anyone further.
"Her dad bought it for her, not realizing I would be providing the transportation. She didn't want to hurt his feelings so we agreed if she was going alone and locally she could choose it or our car." Jasper was not oblivious to Demetri referring to the BMW as neither "their" car twice, nor his distaste for the hunk of junk that Bella's dad bought her. And if Jasper was honest with himself he didn't like the idea of her sharing anything with the creature in front of him.
"Where is she?" Jasper asked, knowing she was inside as indicated by her heartbeat and sniffling but that was how he chose to broach the reason for his arrival.
"Inside," Demetri answered, turning to lead the way.
"Bella?" Jasper asked as he found her curled up on her bed. He was immediately kneeling in front of the girl.
"What do you want?" she barked through her tears.
"I want to apologize for earlier. I'm sorry I asked you to come and tell your story to the family. I was… shocked stupid, by your story, by the revelation that you are my mate, by the fact that they have been-" Jasper looked at Demetri who was feeling very protective and worried about Bella but raised an eyebrow in curiosity as Jasper measured his emotions, "injected with venom." Again, it was another diplomatic response in order to avoid insulting anyone and creating more problems for himself. He was nothing if not a strategist and now was not the time to make enemies.
"I'm sorry," he reiterated.
"Yeah, well you apologized now you can go home. Bye Jasper." Bella turned away from him and continued to sniffle. Her heart was continuing to break.
"I'm not leaving that easy, darlin'." Jasper grabbed Bella's shoulder and began to turn her back towards him when suddenly Demetri was pulling him away.
"You will not touch her!"
Jasper pulled from his grasp. "You told me to come here to make things better, just because she dismissed me, doesn't mean I'm leaving. She's my mate and you need to step outside while I deal with this. I will not hurt her." Jasper was commanding and strong, stronger than he had felt in a long time as he ordered Demetri out of the room. Jasper's stance was tough and commanding, returning to that of a lithely warrior. Demetri paused to ascertain the honesty in Jasper's words and then left without argument.
"I'll be right outside the door, Princess." And he was gone but not far, the door was closed but he was certainly on the other side of the door, listening.
"Bella. I meant what I said; I'm sorry, but I will not grovel. Now turn around." The command sent another delicious shiver through Bella as she pondered whether to forgive him or not. In the end, the desire to get to know the man destined to be her mate overcame her anger and heartbreak at the situation. After all she couldn't expect a king to grovel.
Bella turned and sniffled, studying Jasper. His scars were fairly easy for her eyes to see and she could see the raw power behind his eyes as he gazed upon her with a contrite but somewhat irritated expression. She knew the stories, she knew everything there was to know about Jasper Whitlock, but sitting across from him she hadn't let herself feel any desire, any lust, any attraction to him when she told him her story. She remained bored and complacent, until he rejected her. She tried not to think about that as she focused back on him.
His eyes had become darker than the night sky and his nostrils were flaring with each heavy breath that he took, he had become a predator, but not for her blood. He could smell her arousal, the sweetness that pooled between her legs as she gazed at him. This meeting was very different from their first, being cumbersome and unsure of each other.
"Bella," her name slipped from his lips in a caress. He fought the battle within to not take a girl he just met and defile her, taking advantage of her. He knew they wanted each other and it would be easy to consummate that want, but he would not do that, not today anyway. Bella fought a similar internal battle, her concerns were more that her father would be home soon, Demetri was standing just outside the door, and the fact that she had never so much as kissed a boy before.
Bella was always meant for Jasper. She had no hands on experience with boys, she always turned down dates. She was groomed to be the Major's mate almost since birth. She knew everything about Jasper. She knew he grew up on a strawberry farm and therefore she has always used strawberry scented products. She knew that he was a soldier in the Civil War, so consequently she was nearly an expert on that particular era. She knew that Jasper fought for Maria and nearly killed her when she tried to bring him back after he escaped with his friends. She knew the Volturi finally took Maria out of the equation when she became careless. She knew Jasper was married to Alice right now, that Alice had the gift to see the future based upon decisions. She knew all about the family he lived with now. And she knew that since they met and touched, the gifts the others had would be useless on him from now on. Their connection was already beginning thanks to the small amounts of venom in her system.
Bella was smart and well trained. She was certainly a brat at times but she was loving and kind, too. Most of all Bella was going to be Queen and the man in front of her was worthy of being her King. She sent him her need and acceptance. She needed him in every way possible and she accepted him for who he was.
Jasper quickly scooped Bella up and sat on the bed with her in his lap. Bella sniffled once more and then let out a relaxed sigh as she accepted easily the close contact, the feelings of security and love. She never got much contact with others; she was strictly regarded as hands off where vampires were concerned, except Caius. Caius was like a father to her. He was stern and never said much but physically he shared his space with her and allowed her the contact that she craved as a child when she visited the castle. The bond between the two was unspoken and not well understood, except by the brothers who did not gossip.
"Bella, I was not pushing you away. In fact, I asked you to come explain things to the family. I am sorry that I didn't give you the response you wanted. I don't know what to say." Jasper nuzzled her hair as he held her, noting her strawberry scent; her tears had stopped flowing and he could feel she was contemplating what to say next.
"I had just hoped for something magical, being in this world so long, being trained to be your mate, be-"
"What? Trained to be my mate?" Jasper couldn't help but cut her off. Things just kept getting weirder.
"Yes, I know everything about you, Jasper. Your favorite color, the reason you left Maria, your childhood home, everything. Everything Aro could learn about you from your handshake years ago, I know. The good and the bad. I know you are married to Alice and I shouldn't have so easily expected you to come running to me. I know that you are mine and she will have to step down however." A bit of jealousy and resentment escaped her as she spoke of Jasper's wife, knowing he's been with her for over 50 years.
"Bella," he sighed and hugged her tight. "Alice is my wife; I've been with her longer than you've been alive. I didn't know this was going to happen, no one told me my mate was being raised by the Volturi of all people. I accept you, I do. Please, just try to give me a little time to get used to everything. I also do not want you returning to Volterra again. You are my mate and as of now, you are cutting all ties with them. Demetri can be sent home, you don't need their protection or their money, you are my responsibility now."
Bella was shaking her head before Jasper had even finished speaking. She also knew Jasper did not like the Volturi. Bella was going to have to find a way to fix that. "We are mates, but we are not married. My family still cares for me, Jasper. And whether you like it or not, you are royalty also, you have a destiny to fulfill and I will be by your side as we do it together."
Jasper didn't know what to say, so he held her. He knew these were the ramblings of a brainwashed girl. The Volturi had found his mate and groomed her into their Queen. They planned to rule through Jasper and Bella controlling them like puppets on a string and the strength of the couple would solidify their rule in the vampire world and decimate the claim the Romanians tried to have.
But none of them knew how wrong they were.
Jasper held Bella until Demetri entered without knocking and announced, "Charlie is down the street. Jasper, you may want to leave." Jasper snarled silently at Demetri but he didn't need to as Bella took control.
"Demetri! You do not enter my room without knocking, ever! As for Jasper leaving, that is our choice and not your suggestion to make. You do not tell him what to do and you certainly do not disrespect me like this again. Now, go to your room and stay there. You will be leaving for Volterra tomorrow, call Marcus and let him know that Felix will be returning in your stead, you're services are no longer required." And with a wave of her hand he was gone. Jasper was shocked at the power and control she had over such a large vampire. She really was royalty.
"I'm sorry, Jasper. That was rude of him and he still thinks of me as a little girl. He doesn't know me that well. Felix will be better equipped to deal with this situation as he has been my companion most of my life. They don't order us around. Now, if you would like to leave, you are welcome to. If you would like to stay and meet Charlie you are welcome to do that, too. Which do you prefer?"
Jasper contemplated meeting Charlie, on one hand he knew he'd have to do it eventually and on the other hand the day had been full of surprises. He wasn't afraid of Demetri by any means and almost wanted to stay just to spite him but he also worried for his mate who would spend a night in a home with a now chastised Demetri and he wasn't sure that was good thing for the human girl. She showed and felt no fear or concern; currently she was curious and a little nervous as she waited for his response.
"I think I'll go home for tonight. I'll meet Charlie later. I need to talk with my family. I did already tell them about you and everything you told me. Sorry, if I wasn't supposed to," he added quickly, looking like maybe he made a big mistake.
"It's fine that you shared my situation, our situation, with your family. I am sorry to Alice. I'm sure this can't be easy on her but I will not allow her to be your wife much longer, as you can hopefully understand?" Bella gave him a meaningful look that was intended to suggest he begin filing for divorce immediately. He nodded his understanding, still a bit in shock at what was taking place, but he couldn't deny that he liked feeling her in his arms, he enjoyed her fruity scent, and the heat of her body. She felt… right.
"I'll see you tomorrow at school then, Jasper," Bella said, indicating he was dismissed. He gave her a short kiss on the cheek before he too was gone. Charlie pulled into the driveway seconds later and Bella made her way downstairs to have an evening alone with her father.
When Jasper arrived at school the next morning he saw Demetri waiting in the parking lot with Bella. He could feel that they were waiting for him with some anticipation and trepidation coming from Demetri.
"Mornin'," he greeted them both with a nod. Demetri stood silently and didn't acknowledge him.
"Morning," Bella replied. "You'll have to forgive him, he's pouting," she said, indicating the serene vampire next to her, to which Jasper just nodded.
"Sleep well?" Jasper asked Bella, focusing his attentions on her, trying to ignore the now scrutinizing and suspicious feelings rolling off the large mute next to her.
"Yes, thank you. Demetri will brief you on the situation and then I will see you in class," she said like she was giving a news report and with that she turned and sauntered away. Jasper watched her ass wiggle in her tight little jeans and knew if he was a wolf he'd be panting and whistling at that sight. After Bella disappeared through the door, Jasper refocused his attention on the man in front of him.
Demetri said nothing and appeared to be watching over Jasper's shoulder. As he side stepped to look behind him and keep the large man in front of him still within his sight, Jasper found his family going into the school but staring intently at them.
"Everything alright?" Jasper asked Edward silently, looking him in the eye to make sure he was paying attention. Edward gave a slight nod that maybe even a vampire could miss if they didn't know to look for it. The family continued into the school and Jasper once again refocused on the still silent vampire in front of him.
"Well?" Jasper finally prompted.
"Umm… yes, well… as you know, Felix is on his way. He is arriving in a couple of hours and will be here to meet you and pick Bella up from school." Jasper nodded in understanding waiting to hear more.
"I am to apologize," Demetri paused giving an angry look to Jasper before refocusing. "For my rude comments yesterday and interfering in your relationship with our Princess. I'm sorry." Demetri looked like he would choke on the words if that was possible and Jasper smirked. He was not used to receiving apologies except from family and never from Volturi.
"Who told you to apologize?" Jasper was just curious, if it was his new little hellfire or someone even higher up.
Demetri visibly cringed as Jasper picked up on his disdain. "The Princess requested my apology to you, in hopes that you'll understand that your position is now one of power among the Volturi." Jasper knew he didn't have to give that extra bit of information but was probably trying to be dismissed quickly as he picked up on his anticipation.
"Hop," Jasper instructed.
"I beg your pardon?" Demetri asked wide eyed, confusion rolling off him.
"If I am in a position of power over you, then I want you to hop," Jasper explained and instructed again.
Demetri narrowed his eyes as his hatred and contempt flooded Jasper just before he… hopped; just once as his eyes surveyed the parking lot for witnesses.
Jasper nodded his head approvingly though he was honestly shocked, he didn't let it show and he just turned and walked to class an evil grin breaking out across his face as he entered the school, Demetri silently cursing his back.
Jasper lamented that he didn't have any morning classes or any classes period with Bella. He also realized how happy he was to be headed towards the cafeteria for lunch. The only time they could spend together. He went through line and got his usual untouchable lunch and surveyed the emotional climate of the room searching for her. As he paid for his food he felt the boredom that only she could possess enter the room. Their eyes met across the way and several students passing by noticed. Jasper nodded to a table that usually sat empty and then made his way over there hoping Bella would soon join him.
Bella got her lunch and talked with a few people about classes and how she liked school. It was all very blasé to her. She hesitated as to where she should sit but with a shrug of her shoulders she made her way towards Jasper's table. The lunch room hushed as she took her seat and turned around to eye the onlookers with disapproval.
"You'd think someone couldn't make a friend around here," she stated rather loudly and slowly the crowds began to move again, their topic of conversation, Jasper and Bella, both of whom could hear everything.
"So a nod of your head is how you ask me to have lunch with you?" Bella chastised. Her emotions giving nothing away other than her revulsion as she eyed her lunch tray.
"You were too far away to ask properly and I wasn't sure you'd accept. This way it was your choice without being put on the spot." Jasper knew he was rationalizing and it didn't sound very good at all.
"I can hear you just fine if you whisper, Jasper. You could have asked me," she scolded slightly with a smirk as a dumbfounded expression crossed his face.
"Sorry, I forgot you're not 100% human."
"Vampires don't forget things, Jasper. What else you got?" She knew she was being hard on him but he needed to understand wishy-washy wasn't an option. He had gotten soft over the years and she was determined to toughen him up.
His eyes narrowed at her. "Actually, human, I did forget. I wasn't thinkin' about all the crazy shit that the Volturi had done to you. I was thinkin' I wanted to see you again and I had to wait hours for it to happen," he groused at her.
She smirked at him and silently ate her lunch listening to the cafeteria chatter about Jasper sitting away from his girlfriend and with the new girl on her second day. Jasper tuned into the conversations also briefly before Bella caught his attention again.
"So you had Demetri hopping around like a bunny, huh?" she asked with a giggle. Jasper was again shocked but realized after his last chastising that she heard the whole thing.
"Just testin'," he replied as if it was nothing to ask a Volturi guard to hop. Not something he would have done two days ago if someone had told him he could. But he knew this was real. He wasn't in love with Bella yet but he felt a connection. He knew he wanted to see her, get to know her, understand her, and save her from the vile people that had brainwashed her over the course of her entire life.
"So Felix is pickin' ya up today? Do you think I could maybe give ya a ride home instead? I drove myself today." He was hopeful but not overly so. Bella nodded and he wasn't sure what that meant as she continued to shovel the vile food in her mouth, looking to enjoy it about as much as he would have.
"You can do that. I'll text him and let him know you'll be bringing me home and just to meet us at the house," she finally added as Jasper continued to look at her, waiting for a more definite answer.
"I am sorry. I was not too happy with Demetri's so called apology this morning," she added as an afterthought.
"I wasn't really expecting an apology at all, so no big deal," Jasper said dismissively and watched as Bella's eyes and emotions flashed with anger.
"You should expect an apology when someone treats you like that. You are royalty and deserve nothing less than respect. He had no right to treat you like a common criminal. He knows better than to treat either of us the way he did yesterday and he will be punished for his behavior when he gets home. I'm sorry if you are used to being mistreated by those around you but it is not allowable anymore." With a huff she stood and dumped her tray as she strode out of the cafeteria the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. Jasper looked on in shock and awe. He knew she was a spoiled brat, it just continued to become more and more apparent.
For the first time since lunch started he looked towards the table where his family sat. Their expressions were much the same as his as they sat quietly. Alice was projecting longing and sadness while all others were just shocked and insulted but Jasper wasn't sure what to do.
He wanted to comfort Alice, they had had a good talk during the night and were parting on good terms. Both understanding what had to be done, but now she was wondering if she shouldn't steal Jasper and run away, while Jasper wondered if he should be chasing after Bella or not. Edward hearing only Alice's thoughts, knowing Jasper was upset also just sat wondering what he could do to help. He settled on comforting Alice as he placed his large slender hand over her petite one that rested on the table. She gave him a sad smile taking her eyes off the man she will only be able to call hers for a few more days.
Jasper reached his next class trying to scent where Bella had disappeared to in the throngs of students making their way from lunch to class. He found her classroom was only three down from his, the class she shared with Edward, and made a plan to meet her at the next bell. He found Emmett sitting in their classroom radiating curiosity and resentment.
Jasper cocked an eyebrow as he sat down next to his large younger brother. "What's that about?" he asked, knowing Emmett would understand he was talking about the resentment.
"She's rude and implied that we treat you bad. We don't, do we, Jazz?" Emmett was nearly pouting at the idea that he treated someone poorly. Bella's words had hurt him the most because he loved his brother and his whole family. He thought they lived in pretty good comfort and happiness with each other. Emmett was already worrying about what was going to happen now that Jasper and Alice were breaking up, adding to the fact that he's replaying all his interactions with Jasper over the years in his
head trying to find how they treated him poorly, he was becoming a ball of nerves Jasper just didn't want to handle.
"Calm down, Em. No you guys don't treat me bad, she's just-" Jasper caught himself knowing that Bella could possibly hear the conversation. He didn't want to speak poorly of her before he even got to know her.
"She's what?" Em prompted. Jasper grabbed a piece of paper and quickly finished his sentence.
Possibly listening. But what I was really going to say is she is a brat. She is rude and has definitely been brainwashed by the Volturi led to believe she is better than others and she wields a lot of control over them.
Emmett read the page quickly and pointed with his pencil to the 'Possibly listening' remark on the page that had him raising his eyebrows.
Jasper sighed and wrote again, feeling strangely juvenile to be passing notes. Class had started but this one was just a teacher who droned on and on, putting most kids to sleep and making the vampires wish they weren't vegetarians. Jasper pushed the note towards his brother hoping to be done with it.
She has vampire hearing and is 3 doors down in class with Edward.
The note writing continued between the two vampires as Emmett asked a few questions about lunch and how Jasper felt about what she had said. Emmett then moved into apologizing for things that happened 30, 40, even 50 years ago when he might have treated Jasper badly. Jasper comically noted that Emmett was more sincere in his apologies for things that happened decades ago than Demetri was for things that happened the day before.
When the bell rang Jasper bolted from class and was in front of Edward and Bella's class door before the first person had exited. Alice walked by and saw him waiting in anticipation without even acknowledging her and began a sprint towards the girls' room where she locked herself in a stall sobbing with unshed tears, the pain of not having real tears not a problem for her since she couldn't remember what being human was like.
"Nice going," Edward murmured, glaring at his brother as he exited the room in search of his forlorn sister.
"What?" Jasper asked, forgetting everything the minute he saw Bella.
"Hi," he said with a lazy smile. "Are you still mad?" Edward shook his head in disgust and walked away. Bella eyed him and began walking while he fell into stride next to her. The kids in the hallway looking on with great interest at what appeared to be a love sick Jasper following and fawning all over Bella as he offered to carry her books for her.
"A little," Bella finally offered as an answer while Jasper took her books and stood a little taller, hearing the mocking and gossiping coming from their classmates, though the classmates were unaware that they could be heard by the couple.
"Do you still want me to give you a ride home?"
Bella paused to think about the ride, since they still had a couple more classes, and she still had time to notify Felix, she agreed. The bell rang and Jasper made his way to his next class, tardy for the first time ever. The kids snickered and gossiped more about his late entry, knowing that it was because of Bella. He was getting angry being the center of attention of a bunch of kids. He was used to being the brooding one in the background that nobody talked to and just admired from afar.
Jasper sat through his last two classes by himself, biding his time until he could get to Bella again. He was shocked as he got ready to leave his last class when Tyler stopped him. The dark skinned boy that stood just a little shorter than Jasper approached him with a sense of courage and nervousness. No one in school has ever talked to Jasper if they didn't have to.
"So now you're looking at moving in on our girls, huh? Fresh meat came to the school and you toss away your girlfriend to be with the new bitch? Do you have a thing for harpies or what?" Tyler's courage was gaining as Jasper stood there slack-jawed at the guts this human had to talk to him that way. Of course, the human thought Jasper was just some kid and Bella just some girl.
"You got a reason for talkin' to me, boy?" Jasper's golden eyes glared menacingly and he smirked internally as he felt Tyler's courage slip into fear, and watched as his dark eyes turned south and his body began to quake.
"Well…I a… They said… She was…" Tyler was stuttering so bad he couldn't form a complete sentence but now Jasper had questions.
"They who?" He calmed Tyler down enough that he could answer.
"Just…just some of the other kids, said you ditched your girlfriend for the new kid. They heard Alice left early and was crying."
Jasper felt bad to hear that Alice was so upset she had to leave school. He would certainly speak with her again tonight. He knew he loved her, he always would, he just wasn't in love with her and they both knew that. Still, change is difficult for vampires especially when the change leaves one of them lonely. Jasper decided, hoping Alice would see, that he would make a better effort to include her in things at home and school when he could. A part of his brain acknowledged that he ignored her earlier and he would not make that mistake again, she didn't deserve to be treated that way.
Jasper pushed past Tyler, not interested in furthering their conversation and went to find Bella. Tyler's relief at being let off the hook for the conversation was palpable to Jasper as he continued on his way.
Bella was at her locker exchanging books for the ones she'd need to do her homework and Jasper without a word rested his hand across the small of her back letting her know he was there. She didn't jump or even acknowledge the weight or coldness being applied to her body, she worked quietly and turned to face him when she was done.
"Ready, let's go." She walked away from him as he again appeared to be the puppy running to catch up with her.
"Did you get in touch with Felix then?" He was sure she did but he just didn't want any surprises as they exited the school.
"I did. He'll meet us at the house, as directed." She continued to walk with an air of confidence but suddenly appeared to trip over nothing and lurched forward as Jasper caught her. "That's getting better as I age, thankfully," she stated.
"What is?" Jasper was confused, he didn't think her ability to trip was getting better but he wasn't sure what she meant.
"I'm rather clumsy. It's getting better with age and venom though." Jasper looked around quickly hoping no one heard Bella's venom comment just as they arrived at his truck. It was a long sleek 4X4, Dodge Ram with all the upgrades. He helped Bella in and then gave her an annoyed look. "What?" she asked.
"You can't just go around talking about venom and vampires, Bella. You need to be more discrete," he chastised. Bella rolled her eyes at him and his anger became more prominent. "Didn't they teach you anything? You always should be wary when talking about anything that would expose us, Bella," Jasper snapped.
Bella rolled her eyes again. "Can you take me home now or do I need to make other arrangements?" she was condescending and dismissive and pissing Jasper off.
"Don't take that tone with me. I'm not one of your lackey's, Isabella. You can make other arrangements. Get out of my truck."
Bella stared at him with a smirk. "Well, that sounds more like the badass I was expecting when I got here."
Jasper just glared at her, not amused by her teasing. He raised an eyebrow as her emotions swirled to confusion and awe, when the smirk fell from her face.
"You're serious?"
"Yes." He was going to teach her a lesson. She thought he was used to people treating him poorly but he wasn't and she wasn't going to get away with treating him how she had been all day. "Out."
Remorse slowly began creeping into Bella's emotions but Jasper didn't acknowledge it, guessing she rarely felt the need to apologize for anything. Jasper continued to eye her expectantly; he could wait as long as it took.
"You're not going to give me a ride home?" Bella couldn't believe she had upset him so much.
In response Jasper only raised his eyebrow higher as if asking, 'what do you think?'
Jasper decided to take control and got out of the truck feeling Bella's nervousness made him smirk as he opened her door, picked her up, walked her away from the truck and set her on her feet on the sidewalk several yards away.
"See you at your house," he said and walked quickly back to his truck feeling her shock and awe as he climbed back in and drove off. Just as he pulled into the Swan's driveway it began to sprinkle, coating everything in heavy mist. A man opened the door at the home and was suddenly standing beside Jasper's truck.
"Where is she?" He wasn't about introductions only the safety of his charge; worry and anger were pouring from him.
"She's waiting for you at the school to go pick her up. We had a bit of a disagreement. I'll wait here, you go get her." The man he knew was Felix left without further preamble driving the same car that Demetri had explained previously was their car.
As Felix was leaving the driveway he got the phone call from Bella. "Come and get me at the school." She was pissed.
"I'm already on my way. What's happened? Why didn't he bring you home like you said?" Felix and Bella were close, he was somewhere between a father and a brother figure for her. Being in his late 20's allowed the bulging vampire the age and maturity to work with Bella on a parental level. His massive frame and 6 foot 1 inch height made him look exactly like a bodyguard or bouncer. His short dark hair was cropped neatly and his black business suit screamed Volturi, with the addition of the blood red ruby ring on his right hand with a golden 'V' encrusted in it. Bella begrudgingly told him the story and finished just as he arrived in the parking lot.
"He is not a man you should be playing your games with, Bella," Felix reprimanded as she sat down in the car with a slight squishing noise, indicating she was fairly damp.
AN: Well? LOL…what you expected? I have one more chapter done after this and then I need to get crackin' if you want a story. So I'm happy ff has left this alone so far. We'll cross our fingers and hope our good fortune continues.
Review!
