Chapter 23

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing and thanks to all my wonderful reviewers.

Nikki P.O.V

We decided to get a hotel so the wolves get a few hours rest. They had run straight from Washington and were very tired. They say they're kind doesn't get tired very easily but it does happen.

So we got them a big fancy room in Dallas, Texas. I felt oddly at home in this place. When I tried to figure out why I got these foggy memories of when me, mom and dad would travel and we would stay at these kinds of places. Places so fancies the bell boys bow in respect and your room is big enough for a small family to live in.

I couldn't recall much from those days, the venom did that. But what I could recall was happiness and peace.

I tried not to think about them. If I did I was going to get upset and I did not want to be upset. I wanted to be happy. That cradle robbing bitch Maria was dead and burning in hell with Alejandro, I can finally reclaim a bit of my humanity, me and Jack are safe and together and soon I was going to meet his family.

That made me nervous as hell.

Being in the Hotel was difficult. I still was new to this veggie vampire lifestyle. I wore a pair of sun glasses to hide my orange eyes. The second we got within a mile of Dallas my mouth watered with the smell of humans.

Jasper was a true miracle worker, he helped me control my blood lust so well. Thanks to him I had a dull burn in my throat when usually it would feel like it was on fire. Before we came too Dallas we hunted some animals and fed. Animal blood didn't satisfy as well as human blood, but it did help ease the thirst. It was all about mental will power that kept the desire for blood at bay.

We made a real interesting group. Jasper and Alice looking like they just stepped out of a GQ magazine, me and Jack in our dirty and slightly torn cloths and the wolves wearing nothing but jean shorts and wife beaters.

It was a cloudy day so we were able to get into Dallas. Every once in a while we had to get behind a tree or hide in an ally and wait for more clouds too pass over the sun so we wouldn't be seen sparkling.

While the wolves slept on the beds Alice called the other Cullens. I could hear the man called Carlisle talking to her. She told him we would be back that night and the situation with the Volturi. He was relieved we were alright; he also said Sam was rather upset two of his wolves left without permission.

She promised we would be there soon as could be and hanged up. "Well that takes care of that." she looked at me and smiled. "Now what to get you to wear for tonight?"

"Alice, I see that sparkle in your eye, don't go overboard," Jasper said.

Alice smiled at him. "I have no idea what you are talking about," she said.

I felt Jack move behind me, I felt his fingers touch my neck, and it felt like a jolt of electricity shot down my spine when he touched me.

"Nikki, where is that necklace?" he asked.

I turned and faced him. "Alejandro broke it," I said.

"Dick...don't worry, I will get you a new one, even better."

I hugged him tight. "I don't need a necklace as long as I am with you."

There was the sound of a click and a flash of light. We turned and saw Alice was holding a disposable camera.

"What? It's my god given right as a mother," she said.

"Alice," Jack groaned looking like he could blush.

She smiled and pocketed the camera. She grabbed Jasper's hand and dragged him to the bathroom.

"Come on Jaz, I think the...bathroom needs to be double checked, thought I saw a cockroach."

Jasper turned to look at us and winked.

They went down the hall and turned left and shut the door firmly behind them.

"You're vampire parents are really wacked you know that."

I turned to face Jack and found his lips pressed firmly to mine. I forgot all about blood and the Volturi and Maria and my mind wrapped around the feeling of this boy pressing his lips too mine. He pulled back, his yellow eyes full of fear. The fear you get when you realize how close to disaster you have come.

"I almost lost you," he said.

I put my hand too his face. "But you didn't," I said.

He took my hand in his and kissed it. "God if I lost you I would have lost it. I don't know what I would have done."

"It's okay, were here, together. Maria is dead, they all are dead. Nothing can hurt us Jack."

"Except the Volturi," he said.

"We'll deal with them soon enough."

"If they hurt you I swear the first one I am going to kill is that little pretty boy Alec," he growled, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"You noticed that too huh?" I asked with a smile.

"How could I not? Mother fucker was practically flirting with you right in front of me!"

"Well he is out of luck, he is way too girly looking for my tastes," I said kissing his cheek.

He took my glasses off and looked into my eyes. "You are going to have such lovely yellow eyes."

"Thanks. I am so happy I don't have to kill people anymore."

"You were really hot when you cut that fuckers head off with that knife, that was some real Buffy the vampire slayer shit right there."

"Thanks. I used all the self defense training I knew, or remembered from my human life. It was like something else just took over, like every survival instinct in my body took over."

He kissed my forehead. "You were amazing. In fact I was kind of turned on, something about a girl dismembering people is disturbingly attractive."

I frowned at him. "That's kind of fucked up you know," I said.

"Am I bothered?" he said pointing at his face with a smile.

I grabbed his finger and kissed his lips. "Shut up and kiss me."

"Yes ma'am."

I grabbed his shirt and tossed him on the couch. I crawled into his lap and began to kiss him.

"Man having a girlfriend rocks!" he said.

Jasper P.O.V

I leaned against the counter and watched Alice as she pressed her ear against the door.

"Alice, you know what they are doing, you can see it. You don't have to press you're ear against the door, I can hear them all the way from here." I could also feel the lust and the love.

"I know, but I can't help it, it's my maternal instincts," she said.

I got up and grabbed her around her waist and pulled her back. I kissed the top of her head.

"Our son has fallen in love," I said.

"I know. Remember when it was just you and me? Than we found the others, then Bella and Nessie. Now Jack and Nikki. Our family is growing so fast Jaz."

"Don't forget Jacob now," I said.

"Oh yeah, him too. Gosh does that mean we should count the wolves as family too?"

"Well, might as well. Nessie and Jake are imprinted and Jack is friends with the younglings," I said.

"I was so proud of him when he forgave Brady. Maybe coming to Mexico was better for him than we thought," she said.

"Yeah, he found Nikki after all."

Alice turned to me, her face a little somber. I could sense the caution and the pity coming for her. "Are you okay Jasper, I know seeing her die wasn't good for you."

"Maria was my world once; she was my creator, my lover. But that was a long time ago. As much as I am saddened to see her die, she made her own choices. I am just glad she didn't drag Jack into her madness," I said.

She hugged me close. Then suddenly she pulled back. "Alright that is enough."

"What?" I asked confused.

"Things are getting a little heated between them. Last thing we need is security banging down our door because they think there is a fight going on."

She opened the door and ran out.

I heard Nikki shriek and Jack's shout of indignation. "God damn it Alice!"

"Sorry kids, no more hanky panky," I heard Alice say.

I walked out and saw Jack and Nikki adjusting their cloths, Jack looked angry and Nikki mortified.

"Way too cock block me Alice," Jack said.

"That is enough talk like that Jack Bartholomew Whitlock. You are in the presence of a lady," Alice said sternly.

"I am so, so, so, so, so, sorry?" Nikki said.

"It's okay, stuff like that happens," Alice said with a smile. "Now, we need to figure out what too dress you in for when you meet the others."

Jack P.O.V

God damn Alice. Wasn't my fault, I just got lost in the moment. I am a guy, you try having a hot chick on top of you kissing you and all rational thought goes right out the window.

We left the wolves at the hotel to snooze. Alice dragged us too some place to buy Nikki some new clothes. It was amazing how quickly they clicked over the clothes thing. I can see them and Rose becoming an unstoppable force. God help us all.

I and Jasper just watched as they did their thing. We kept a close eye on Nikki. You didn't have to be empathic to see she was having trouble being around the humans. I was glad Jasper was here, he really helped her with her thirst issues.

It felt odd a little too be back with Jasper and Alice. All these weeks of living with those wild vampires and Maria, it was such a relief to not have to watch my back, worrying if some vamp was going to snap and freak out on me.

I was a little embarrassed about what happened in the dessert, my little cry baby scene. It was nice; don't get me wrong, getting all that shit off my chest. But now I was a little embarrassed I had broke down like that in front of my girlfriend, my friends and what amounted to my mom and my dad. Some big bad life-force sucking vampire huh?

We waited for Nikki and Alice too come out of the dressing room. When they did I did a double take. Nikki was dressed in a green shirt with a black denim jacket and black jean pants.

"Wow," was all I said.

Nikki smiled and my heart warmed.

"Alright your turn," Alice said handing me some clothes.

She pushed me into the changing room, but I craned my head so I could continue to look at Nikki. It wasn't until Alice shut the door I looked and saw what I was expected to wear. Oh hell no.

"Don't even think about ripping them apart Jack," Alice warned.

Damn her and her future seeing powers.

I put the clothes on and stepped out. Jasper was smirking; Nikki was holding back a laugh and Alice beamed in delight. "Oh you look wonderful!"

"I wore a pair of black cotton pants, a whitish blue button shirt and over that an ash colored tweed jacket and to top it off a burgundy colored bow tie...that's right. A mother fucking burgundy colored bow tie. I looked like I was on my way to Sunday school.

"You look great Jack," Jasper said.

I glared at him. "I look like Doctor Who."

"So what, you look wonderful, like a nice dignified young man," Alice said adjusting my bow tie.

"I am not wearing this in public," I said.

She smiled at me. "Oh Jack, you have no choice. I am your dictator and my word is final, try as you might you cannot escape me so just go with the flow." she pinched my cheeks.

"You are a real monster you know that," I said leaning away from her slightly.

We went back to the hotel and found the wolves were up. They had ordered room service and I thanked god the Cullen's were rich. Three trays full of food and dozens of plates piled on the table.

"Whoa," Nikki said seeing all the plates.

"Another thing you should know about wolves. They eat a lot," I said.

The guys who were sitting on the couches, relaxing and watching TV looked up. They took one look at Nikki and their mouths fell open and their eyes widened. They all got up and smiled showing teeth.

"Wow you look great," Seth said.

"Amazing," Collin said.

"Very elegant," Brady said.

"What about me?" I said irritated they took such a sudden interest in Nikki.

They looked at me and they burst into laughter. "Dude, you look like a school boy, Alice and Jasper sending you to boarding school?" Collin asked.

"Fuck you guys!" I growled.

They laughed harder.

"Go to hell!"

"Alright now everyone, we need to get going. Sam is mighty upset at you three for running off. Oh and Jake too," Jasper said.

They all stopped laughing and groaned.

"Don't worry guys, I am sure if you lick they're asses enough they will go easy on you," I smiled feeling some vindication.

"So what? Now we go meet your family?" Nikki asked.

"Yep."

"I hope they like me," she whispered.

I kissed her on the cheek. "Don't worry, they will love you. And if they don't they can suck my-"

Jasper cleared his throat and glared at me.

I sighed, rolling my eyes. "If they don't I won't be bothered."

Nikki P.O.V

As soon as the sun was down we ran to Forks.

It took like six hours but soon we came to a large house in the woods. The climate was soooo different than the usual dry, hot weather I was used to. It was cold, wet. More woodsy. Trees covered the land.

We waited for the wolves too phase and cloth themselves. I caught the scent of more werewolves and the wolves looked worried. Like children about to be chastised by their parents.

Alice and Jasper went ahead and opened the door. The smell of other vampires made me defensive. They were new scents. In Maria's coven new vampires made things more volatile, more dangerous. But there was no danger here, I sensed nothing. But I still tensed a little.

I could hear heartbeats upstairs. I figured that was where the werewolves were. We followed Alice and Jasper, Jack and I held hands, the wolves trudged reluctantly behind us.

We walked through a doorway and found ourselves in a large room, there were eleven people. I immediately knew who the Cullen's were, they had white skin, dark bruises under their eyes, which were yellow and I heard no heart beat coming from them. The wolves were the tall Indian's like Seth, Brady and Collin. They were glaring behind us at the boys who I heard all take a collective gulp.

Someone was in a lot of trouble.

"JACK!" a shrilly little girls' voice shouted.

Something small flew from behind the tallest wolf boy and flung itself at Jack. Jack let out a loud omph sound and he was on the ground. A little girl who looked no older than three was hugging him tight. She had long curly auburn hair. I heard her heart beating; it was faster than the wolves' heartbeats. Also her smell had human mixed with vampire. She must be Nessie, the hybrid.

"Jesus Ness, you have grown since I last saw you," Jack said with a warm smile and patted Nessie's back.

Nessie pulled back and glared at Jack. "Jack Bartholomew Whitlock you had me so worried!" Nessie shouted at him.

"You're middle name is Bartholomew? Really?" Collin snorted.

"Aren't you supposed to be getting chewed out right now?" Jack asked.

Collin glared at him.

Nessie got up and looked at me. "Hello, are you Nikki?" she asked curiously.

I became aware that all eyes were on me. I did my best not to fidget. "Hi," I said waving at everyone.

A woman standing next to a blonde man stepped forward. "Welcome Nikki, we are happy to finally meet you."

She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a hug.

She pulled back and Nessie tugged on my pant leg. She offered her hand. I took it and a memory that was not mine flashed in my head.

The Cullens sat around Alice who told them about me and Jack. Of how we met, our dates, Jack changing his hair style just to make me happy.

"Aunt Alice always watched Jack. That is how we know about you," Nessie said.

"Someone had too," Alice said with a smile.

We walked over and I met the rest of the Cullen's. I was nervous, but Jasper was using his power to help me feel more relaxed, which I was really grateful for. I met Carlisle, Esme who was the woman who hugged me, Emmett who high fived Jack, Rose, Bella, and Edward.

I felt so welcomed here. Welcome, safe, comfortable. Things I didn't think I could feel among any other vampire besides Jack.

"I think we will take our leave now," one of the wolves said.

He did not look happy at all, he was glaring at the three wolves who still stood next to the door.

"Nice to see you too Sam, you asshole," Jack muttered.

"I don't speak to monsters," Sam snapped.

"Coming from the guy who tried to kill my family," Jack bit back.

"Jack," Jasper said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"You kidnapped two of my wolves."

"We weren't kidnapped Sam, we went willing," Brady said.

"That I find hard to believe," Sam said.

"Look I know I was the one who told the secret. But I wanted to help, I felt bad for causing all that trouble and...I wanted to make things right so when I was phased and I heard Collin's thoughts I followed them." He turned to look at the other Cullen's. "I am sorry for what I did, I let my own issues and prejudice takes over. I shouldn't have done that."

"Seth?" the tallest one said.

"He is my friend," Seth said simply.

"For god's sake Seth mom and I have been worried. Oh and she wanted me to tell you, you are grounded for a whole month," a female said.

"What were you doing over at the Cullen's Seth?" the tall one asked.

"I and Collin came over to hang out and see if they had heard anything from Jack. We got here when Jasper and Alice were leaving with their friends and we volunteered."

"Then I was phased at the time and heard what they were up too and decided to tag along,
Brady said.

"So who is this chick?" another of the wolves asked.

"My name is Nikki, not chick," I said frowning at the wolf who spoke.

"Why is a nomad here?" Sam asked not looking happy.

Jack wrapped an arm around me. "Because she is my girlfriend."

Besides the Cullens and the three wolves, the older wolves got these wide eyes looks and their mouths fell open.

"No fucking way," the female wolf said.

"Yep, that's right, she's my honey bun," Jack said.

"Impossible."

"Now don't be heartbroken Leah, what we had was special," Jack said.

Wait…Jack had a thing with a she-wolf? What was it with him and older women?

"You little ass, all you ever did was call me a dyke!" Leah growled at him.

"I know, you were the only woman Manish enough for me to get away with calling you that," Jack said.

I let out a sigh of relief. Bad enough Maria was after him, the thought of having to deal with a potential ex who was also a werewolf made me tense. No one wants to deal with an ex-girlfriend. I was so happy she was just another person Jack tormented….that didn't sound right.

"Am I to understand not only is he returning but he has found a mate as well?" Sam asked.

"I am his girlfriend, not his mate," I said.

I hate being referred as Jack's mate. Mate is such a primitive world. That is what you use to describe animals. Just because we are no longer human doesn't mean we have to use animal terms to describe ourselves.

"Yes, as you can see from her eyes Jack is helping her adjust to our way of life," Carlisle said.

"I already told her all about the treaty….by the way…is that still in effect?" Jack asked.

"Yes, it is," Sam said through gritted teeth.

"After you left we met with the elders and we went over the treaty again and made some more adjustments. We convinced them that what happened truly was an accident," Carlisle said.

"When they heard how you could have killed us but didn't they were impressed with your control so they decided to try and give this treaty one more shot. Jake also made it clear that if Nessie leaves he is leaving with her," Collin said.

"Plus when we told them the exact circumstances of your transformation they decided to forgive Jasper," Alice said.

"So…we can still live here?" Jack asked.

"Yes, but we must never break the treaty again or we will never be allowed back," Jasper said.

"Enough, Collin, Brady, you will work extra patrols for leaving your posts," Sam said.

"Yes Sam," both Collin and Brady said.

"You too Seth, I understand why you did it but you should have come to me before you left," Jake said a little more gently than Sam had.

"I understand Jake," Seth said.

"Well since that is all we are leaving, let's go Jared, boys."

They followed Sam out, Brady and Collin smiled at me and Jack as they left. We heard them walk out of the house and into the woods.

"Prick," Jack said.

"Well now that is taken care of let's discus the Volturi situation," Carlisle said.

"Volturi? Are they coming back?" Jake asked.

"Not quite. Let's sit."

We all sat down and I, Jack, Alice and Jasper filled everyone in on the situation.

"We can't let him go," Esme said. "Either of them, not after what happened last year."

"Not only that but when he finds out his power can get past Bella's shield he will want him on his guard as a weapon against us," Rose said.

"Bella's shield?" I asked confused.

"Bella has this mental shield that protects her from any power that invades her mind, she can extend it to form a dome and shield all of us. We found out that even if she shields someone I can get through her shield because I go for the life-force, not the mind," Jack said.

"But Jack would never attack you guys, he loves you all," I said.

"Yes he would," Rose said.

"He's done it before," Emmett said.

"Can't turn your back on him," Edward said.

"Most vindictive person I ever met," Bella said.

I frowned at Jack and he shrugged. "What can I say, they know me so well."

"Okay, well he would never kill you," I said.

"He would if Aro uses you against him," Rose said.

"He won't because she isn't going to Volterra," Jack said.

"What?" I shrieked. "I am not sitting here while you go to be judged by those psychopaths Jack."

"Rose is right Aro could use you against me," he said.

"I can handle myself Jack, or did you forget what happened in the dessert."

I was getting angry. Did he really think I was going to leave him to that little brunette and her twin brother's mercy? Hell no.

"Nikki you will stay here where it is safe, you are not going understood," Jack said firmly.

Oh hell no, he did not just tell me what to do.

"Excuse me? You do not own me Jack; I do not see a ring on this finger." I held up my hand showing him my bare ring finger.

He growled and stood up and I did the same.

"Stubborn girl did you not hear me, if they get their hands on you they have me by the balls."

"Would you kill your family?" I asked.

"No."

"Than what the fu-"I remembered Nessie was present and stopped before I finished. "Than what are you afraid of?"

"They could force me to join Nikki, they eat humans, I don't want to eat humans," he said.

"They might capture me Jack but keeping hold of me is a very different thing."

"Stupid they have powers, they could tear you apart and keep you hidden from me, hell that little ass wipe Alec could use his power to keep you in the dark."

"I know you did not just call me stupid," I growled.

"Well you are being stupid!"

"You are being stubborn!"

"Stupid!"

"Stubborn!"

"Enough!" Jasper yelled and a wave of calm filled us but we continued to glare at one another.

"Yelling will get us nowhere. We still have time before the guard notifies Aro, right Alice?" Jasper asked.

"Yes, it will be some time before they are done in Mexico. I see it lasting between months to even years," she said.

"Now Jack they will tell Aro about her, she will have to come as well."

"But Jasper."

"I know you are worried," Jasper said holding up a hand. "But if we show up without her than they will have her hunted down and you do not want that."

I felt a streak of victory. Jack couldn't stop me from going now.

"Jasper please."

"I am sorry."

Jack kicked the table and set it hurtling against the wall. He turned and headed to go downstairs. "You are being really childish you know," I called.

He growled and continued on his way.

"Jack, wait up," Seth called chasing after him.

"Me too," Emmett said chasing after them.

I watched him go, my eyes were burning. I was so angry at him. I know he wanted to protect me but I was hurt he called me those names and how he wouldn't listen to me.

Esme put her arms on my shoulders. "Come on, I will show you where your room is," she said with a warm smile.

Alice joined us. "Girl time. Bella, Rose, Nessie."

They followed us as Esme led us upstairs. I was so mad, I wanted to cry. I wanted to find Jack and beat the crap out of his scrawny little ass.

Stupid men and their over protective tendencies. Why can't he understand I have to go with him, I have to protect him as well. I have to make sure they don't hurt him.

Stupid Jack and his stupid stubbornness, he is such a boy.
