The hours turned into days and days into weeks and before I could believe it three months had passed since Alice had died. We all still felt her loss from time to time. Lily had pretty much integrated into the family not really replacing Alice but filling in the empty space. She missed her friend as we did. Over time her guilt and remorse dwindled down but from time to time it would come back full force. I was able to spend time away from her now. I did my best at having a normal life I was even working hard with my struggles with the human blood. Lily had allowed me to take Alice’s job at her store and if things got to be to much for me I would just quietly slip back to her office which she kept stocked with fresh flowers to drown out the human scent for me. The season had changed once again and snow blanketed the ground and it was the Christmas season.

Esme had insisted on having a holiday party inviting some of Carlisle’s colleges from the hospital he worked at and the girls for Lily’s store. We had a few days to prepare for the party we where going to have catering come and Lily was going to take some of her mothers old baking recipes she had and make some cookies and other things and use Jacob and Renesme as her taste testers. The night was quite the others had gone out to do some Christmas shopping while Lily, and I stayed home with Renesme. Jacob even opted for the shopping trip to get Renesme something for Christmas. I had just finished tucking my niece in and began my search for my angel. The search wasn’t long I found her curled up in my study in a blankets next to the fire. Though the blanket and fire would never warm her eternally frozen body I knew she did this just for the cozy feeling that this time of year brought. In her hand I saw something that made me smile. Knowing she would be too wrapped up in her book to realize I was there I snuck up behind her and gently wrapped my arms around her resting my chin on her shoulder.

“External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he; no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty.” I recited from the page that had Lily’s attention.

Lily turned her head and looked at me with her soft gentle eyes and sweet smile “Nessie tucked in.”

“Snug as a bug. Did you buy this I don’t believe I have it” I asked keeping my hold on her as she was curled up in her blanket.

“No this one is mine another thing I lifted from my house. Well one of our copies at lest.” Lily smiled laying the book down open in her lap.

“I still read it every Christmas though I miss the sound of my Daddy reading it out loud to us. Do you remember?” Lily asked as her eyes seem to go distant escaping to the memory.

“Yes I do…” I answered.

It was December 23 1859 the air out side was crisp and frosty and the trees barren of any leaves. The sky was dark and covered in stars glittering around the bright moon. I sat inside the Hawkins’s house with my mother and father along with Lily, her brothers, and Father. We all sat in the parlor it was vividly decorated with garland and candles with a tree sitting in the window decorated. Her father sat on a velvet couch, my parents shared a velvet love seat, and I sat in an arm chair with Lily sitting on the floor next to me her right arm resting on my lap and her head resting on her arm. She was dressed in an emerald green dress and her hair pined up out of her face and up off her neck. The youngest twin Danny fell asleep with his head resting on her lap. Liam and Nathan had fallen asleep next to their father on the couch as her read the book ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickinson. Lily sat there gently stroking her brother’s hair as her head rested on my lap. My hand doing the same to her hair as we all listened.

This had become a tradition once me and Lily where old enough to sit still long enough to listen to the book. Every Christmas season our two families would come together and begin the book a few days before Christmas finishing up the last page Christmas eve night. It was a good way to unwind from a long winter’s day. Soft reading with only the glow of the fire from candles and the fire place to light the room in the company of close friends and loved ones. Once her father would finish reading Lily and I would carry the twins up and wake Liam up to walk up to the boy’s room. We got the boys ready for bed and Lily would kiss each other their foreheads as she pulled the covers over them and tell them that she loved them.

I remember thinking even then how great a mother she would be someday and hoping it was our children we where putting to bed on a cold winter’s night like this in our own beautiful home that she had decorated. Then we would retire to the parlor and sit and admire the flow or the light as we talked about the happenings of that day. It pained me some to know that those once far off dreams would never become reality. My beautiful angel would never have small children of her own to love, nurture, and watch grow.

“Old habits dye hard huh” I said kissing her hair softly.

“Yep once I trusted myself not to attack my family I use to sit outside my house in the shadows and listen to my father. Your parents still came the discussed not doing it anymore because it started with me and you and it just didn’t feel quite right continuing with out us. After thinking about it they decided not to stop because it was something me and you looked forward too every year and we wouldn’t of wanted them to stop. Liam continued when he had his first born even though he was just a baby he said it wasn’t right to kill family traditions” Lily said laying her head against my cheek.

“Its good to know that they went on with their life with out us.” I said enjoying the silence holding Lily.

“Yeah I was over at your parents when we got the news of you it hurt all of us your parents did better at accepting it than I did. I hung on to everything physical thing that was yours or reminded me of you. I was able to talk your parents into giving me some of your shirts. Deep down I had a feeling you where still out there and you would return to me like you said. My father didn’t think it was healthy in his own words “holding on to ghost would just bring death sooner” but I had to hold on to the idea of you returning I don’t think I would have been able to survive if I didn’t” Lily spoke softly

“I’m still sorry for all the pain I have caused you Lily I thought I was doing was best for you protecting you” I said entwining my fingers with hers.

“I know Jasper, and I’m sorry for the pain you have had to suffer these past few months if I had been fast Alice might be here now” Lily said looking down at our two hands.

“It’s not your fault Lily, you did what you could and I’m grateful what you did for her in her last minutes allowing her to see something happy. I know she would have accepted the out come before it came but to do what you did for her to ease what ever pain she was in helps ease the pain. She would want us to be happy now.” I said it had become easier to talk about the event. Once I was more stable in mind Lily had told me how has Beau had thrown her into the fire Lily pulled out a happy memory of hers. She said the one she had picked was when she saw me walk into the dinner for the first time she was so happy that I had finally showed up and that she finally felt complete.

“Are you sure your okay with us Jasper, you don’t need more time or anything. I’m fine if you do.” Lily said turning her head to look at me concern for me began to trickle from her.

I smiled and kissed her forehead she really did worry about me to much but I worried about her as much as she did me so I really didn’t have any room to talk. “Yes Lily I am fine. I don’t think I could be with out you.”

The concern began to fade as she relaxed leaning into me as we silently sat and listened to the crackling of the fire. It wasn’t to long before the sound of the door broke us from of reverie. We both stood up and went down to welcome our family. Lily had permanently moved in to the house but kept her home since it wasn’t far from our own we decided we would use to for any guest we would have come visit us incase we ever ran out of space.

“How is Nessie” Jacob asked as he helped carry in bags.

“She is asleep.” Jasper said

“Good I hope you don’t mind Lily but we hid some of her presents at your house, just mainly the big ones that would be hard to hide” Edward said a he put some bags down and took some from Bella

“No that’s fine” Lily said with a smile.

“I hope you two behaved yourself in front of the child” Emmett grinned as he came in earning him a slap on the head from Rosalie.

“Its absolutely beautiful out there” Esme beamed as she walked in with Carlisle

“Yes the town has done a wonderful job with decorating” Lily smiled as she went to help the others.

Later in the night Lily was relaxing in the tub filled with bubble bath. She had a few candles out to light the large bathroom. She had her hair pinned up so it wouldn’t get wet. I smiled at the pleasant sight of her I went and sat on the edge of the tub.

“How are you feeling about having the girls here for the party?” I asked moving a small strand of hair out of her face.

“mmm I think everything will be okay you’ve gotten as good as us with controlling your thirst and we know your family friends from Alaska are as controlled as all of us and since its not a dinner and just small little appetizers we can get by with out eating or anything if anything we might have to take a few sips of whine.” Lily whispered.

“Okay well come on and get out I have a surprise for you” I said kissing the top of her head before standing up and walking out of the bathroom.

“What are you scheming Jasper Whitlock” Lily called.

When she came out dressed in a little pink silk camisole her hair undone from its pins cascading down over her shoulders her eyes drew big as I stood there holding two glasses with a red substance in it. Soft holiday music was playing in the back ground and the curtains of the large picture window the faced the back yard was opened filling the room with the light of the moon. I walked over handing her one of the glass flutes in my hand.

“I had Carlisle get some for me the other night when he went hunting.” I said referring to the animal’s blood that sat in the glass.

“What is this what’s going on” Lily asked looking around

“ I didn’t feel right with everything you’ve done for me these past months letting to night go by with out doing something special” I whispered wrapping my arm lightly around her waist.

“Happy Birthday Lily” I said before placing a soft kiss on Lily’s perfect lips.

She kissed back and as I pulled away she had this look in her eye almost like she would be crying tears of happiness.

“You remembered…” She said softly

“How would I be able to forget that four days before Christmas one hundred sixty-three years ago a beautiful baby girl was born in Huston Texas?” I smiled kissing her again

“Now you’re just showing off” Lily laughed some then taking a sip of the blood in her flute.

“Either way it’s true” I said

“Thank you Jasper it’s been to long since some one has whished me a happy birthday.” Lily said softly

“I should warn you Edward heard my thoughts and has told the others so they will probably have something special planed tomorrow.” I said taking our flutes and setting them on a side table before taking her hand and leading her to a large open space in the room and began to dance with her.

She rested her head on my soundless chest as we danced.

“That’s okay it won’t top tonight though” Lily said softly

“I was thinking how I’m going to introduce you to the Denali clan and the other guest.” I said softly keeping the dance soft and slow.

“The truth Jasper I’m an old friend who has helped you deal with the loss of your wife” Lily said softly.

“I was hoping to introduce you as something more Lily” I said before stop dancing reaching into the pocket on my pants and pulled out a Teardrop diamond on a white gold band with two small sapphires on either side of the diamond. Lily’s eyes grew large as she stared at the ring in my hand.

“I wanted to introduce you as my fiancée. I know a lot of people might think its too soon to short of a time but I’ve loved you for one hundred fifty years. I was going to ask you to marry me when I returned. So in my mind one hundred fifty years is long enough and way over due” I said looking down at her.

“Oh Jasper” Lily said and then I knew at that moment if it was possibly she would be in tears. She held up her hand aloud me to put the ring in it.

“A million time over Yes Jasper Wyatt Whitlock I would love nothing more than to marry you.” Lily said with a smile

I wrapped my arms around her spinning her around as I kissed her and cheers of approval came from down stairs.

When I pulled away Lily and I laughed some at the commotion down stairs.
We both headed down stairs and where greeted by our Family. Esme was the first to take Lily into her arms “Welcome to the family”

I got pats on the back from my brothers and father and hugs from my sisters and mother. Lily received hugs and kisses from everyone. Once everyone had said their congratulations and saw the ring me and Lily retreated to my study and sat in front of the fire with her in my lap and arms as we just talked and enjoyed each others company.
