Chapter 18

Luna's POV

It's the night before Bella and Edwards wedding and to say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I am going to be surrounded by people, the most I've been around is two. Atlas flew in a week ago so I've been around he and Bella at the same time and I was okay but I'm still nervous. I convinced Jasper to go out with the rest of the guys even though he wanted to take me out to hunt. Currently I'm sitting in Alice and Xander's room with Rosalie, Alice, and Bella. I'm not really saying much though.

"Luna you're going to be fine." Says Bella pulling me from my thoughts.

"Yup." I whisper.

"Alright that's it. Luna come on we're going hunting." Says Rosalie getting up.

"No, I don't want to ruin Bella's night."

"Luna go." Says Alice.

"It's okay Luna. I would rather you feel comfortable." Bella reassures me.

"Okay..."

Rosalie and I go out for a few hours and when we get back Bella is gone and Alice and Esme are in the living room.

"Better?" Ask Esme.

"Yeah..."

"Luna you're okay." Says Alice.

"I'm just nervous."

"You'll be fine Luna, your control is great."

"Okay...I'm going to go work on something." I say walking towards my studio.

I'm painting for a few hours when I hear my phone ring. I pick it up to see Jasper calling and I sigh.

"Hey." I say answering.

"Do I need to come home?"

"No, I'm good. You stay with them."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I went out with Rose and I feel better now."

"Okay...we'll be home by 6."

"Okay, love you."

"Love you too Darlin."

I hang up with him and get back to my project. I work on it for a few hours before heading up to Jasper and I's room and laying down on the bed that now serves no purpose. I'm not going to lie I'm finding it really hard to find stuff to do with all my free time. I hear the door open and smile.

"Hi Jazz."

"Hi Darlin."

"How was it?" I ask as he lays down next to me.

"It was good. I missed you though." He says kissing me.

"I missed you too." I smile against his lips before kissing him again. Just then there is a knock on the door and we both groan. "What?" I ask.

"I have something for you." Says Alice.

"Come in." Says Jasper getting off of me.

I sit up and Alice comes in handing me a small box. "What is it?"

"Blue contacts."

"Why?"

"Because last time you saw anyone you had blue eyes." Says Jasper.

"Will it be able to cover up the current color?" I ask.

"It should yeah." Says Alice.

"One more thing..." Says Jasper.

"What?"

"I may have some deer blood for you in the fridge..."

"In case I need it." I smirk.

"Yeah..."

"So thoughtful." I smile giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"You'll be fine though, you won't need it." He smiles.

"He's right, you'll be fine." Smiles Alice. "Bella will be here in about an hour so you are free till then."

"Alright."

An hour later Bella shows up and I change into my dress before heading to Alice's room to see if I can help. Alice does my hair for me before I do my makeup and I stand in the bathroom trying to will myself to put the contacts in. It's not the contacts themselves it's just that as we get closer I'm getting more nervous. I know people are going to be getting here soon and it scares me.

"Go talk to Jasper." Says Rosalie. "Or I'm going to have to bring him in here."

"I'll be back." I say grabbing my contacts.

I walk to Edwards room and knock on the door knowing that all the guys are in there. Emmet opens it and smiles. "Hi Luna."

"I need Jasper." I say quickly.

"What's wrong." Ask Jasper coming over a split second later.

"Just come with me." I say grabbing his hand.

I pull him into our room and instantly feel calmer thanks to him. "Luna how many times do I need to tell you that you'll be fine." He says calmly.

"I don't know...I'm sorry I'm just nervous."

"It's okay." He says wrapping his arms around me. "Just stay close to me you'll be fine."

"Okay..."

"Here let me help you with these." He says taking the contacts from my hands. He helps me put them on before smiling at me. "Beautiful." He smiles kissing me.

"Thank you." I whisper.

"You're welcome Darlin. I love you."

"I love you too."

"You're going to be great."

An hour later I walk downstairs with Jasper and notice Emmet and Rosalie staying close to us just in case I loose it. I instantly relax when I see the Denali's too, it's nice to have friendly faces around. I notice Seth walk in and even though I want to give him a hug he stinks, like bad. I see what the others where talking about.

"Seth I love you buddy but your wolf stink is...wow." I whisper hugging him.

"Oh shut up." He laughs. "Nice contacts."

"They are so uncomfortable."

"How's it been since you know...?"

"Pretty good." I smile.

"Her control is amazing." Smiles Jasper walking over and wrapping an arm around me.

"I would assume so since your here right now."

"Kate wants to see you." Says Jasper.

"I'll see you later Seth." I say before walking away with Jasper.

"You doing okay?" Ask Kate.

"Yeah."

"It's weird seeing you with blue eyes again." She laughs.

"It's a weird feeling have these in."

"It's only for a few more hours." Laughs Jasper.

I sit in between Rosalie and Jasper during the ceremony, it's short but nice. I'm glad Edward finally found someone. I think in the beginning he was distant towards me because he was jealous that Jasper had found someone before he had. But who really knows. Once the ceremony is over I stay close to the Denali's and Jasper. It's nice not having the spotlight on me for the first time in a few months, I couldn't take it anymore. I'm in the middle of a conversation with Seth when I hear Jacobs voice mixed with Bella's...they are arguing. Wait when did he get here?

"When did Jacob get here?" I ask.

"Great question..." Says Seth. "Why?"

"He and Bella are arguing...and Edward just walked over there. What the hell."

Seth and I walk over and the three of them are arguing. "Jake let go of Bella." I say calmly.

"This is none of your business Luna."

"It is when you mess with my family now let go."

"Jacob do it." Says Seth.

He does and he looks at Edward. "I can't believe you are letting her be this stupid."

"It's her choice not mine." He growls back.

"She'll die."

"Jacob enough." Says Seth.

Jacob looks at all of us before running off. Bella sighs and Edwards wraps his arms around her.

"You good Bella?" I ask.

"Yeah...thanks."

"No problem."

"Jasper is looking for you." Says Edward.

"Thanks..."

I walk back to the party and see Jasper looking around. He spots me and looks puzzled. "What was that about?" He ask quietly when I get over to him.

"The usual, Edward trying to be nice and allow Jacob to see Bella and then Jake screws it up."

"He was here? How did I miss that?"

"Busy trying to keep up the act." I smirk. "Speaking of which, these contacts are killing me."

"We are almost done." He smiles.

"Good." I say kissing him.

Once Bella and Edward leave guest start to dwindle out until it's just us. I quickly go upstairs and change and take my contacts out. I can hear Jasper laughing lightly from the doorway and I turn and glare.

"Those were uncomfortable don't laugh at me."

"I'm just laughing at how fast you got away." He smirks wrapping his arms around my waist.

"That was like throwing me to the sharks." I smirk. "It was a lot to handle."

"I know but you did great." He says kissing me behind my ear. "I love you." He whispers.

"I love you too." I smile. "Alright come on we need to go help clean up."

"Or we could do something else."

"Jazz..." I warn.

"Fine." He says letting go.

"Later I promise." I smile kissing him.

"Mhm." He mumbles as we walk downstairs.

"Oh poor you." I laugh.

We walk out to the backyard and the rest of the family and the Denali's are all putting stuff away. We all get it done pretty quickly and once we are done we all sit around talking. The Denali's leave the next day much to my disliking but Kate promises to come back out soon. I'm out in the yard rough housing with Emmet one day when something weird happens. I see one of Alice's visions. I can hear Jasper calling my name but I'm too freaked out to respond. When it's over Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet are all staring at me.

"Did Alice just have a vision?" I ask hesitantly?

"Yeah." Says Xander walking out. "But how would you know that?"

"Cause I just saw it."

"I don't understand." Says Alice.

"I don't either..."

"When does Carlisle get it home?" Ask Rosalie.

"Soon I hope." Says Jasper, he looks deep in thought.

Once Carlisle gets home we all sit in the living room to try and figure out what happened. Jasper has been on edge since it happened and I feel bad. I have no idea where it came from.

"So you saw what Alice was seeing?" Ask Carlisle looking just as confused as the rest of us.

"Yeah...it's never happened before."

"Well she wouldn't have seen the same thing at the same time if she had a power like Alice." Says Xander.

"If I was going to develop a power wouldn't it have already happened or wouldn't Eleazar have picked up on it?" I ask.

"Not necessarily..." Says Carlisle. "Some powers take longer to develop."

"But I don't understand what it is." Says Jasper.

"None of us do." Says Esme.

"I have a theory." Says Carlisle.

"What?" I ask.

"Jasper try changing her emotions."

"Why?" He ask.

"Just trust me." Says Carlisle.

I can feel Jasper sending calming waves over me but it's weird it almost feels like they are bouncing off of me while still working. I notice Jasper's expression change and he looks more relaxed but confused at the same time.

"Did you just do that?" He ask.

"Do what?" I ask.

"My mood just changed."

"I did that?" I ask.

"That's cool." Says Emmet.

"But I still don't understand this." I say.

"I almost need Edward here to test this out too but that's not an option right now..." Says Carlisle.

"Carlisle explain please." I beg.

"You can use someone's powers against them or in Alice or Edwards case with them. I bet you and Jasper have been doing this for a while without even knowing it's been happening, it would make sense."

"They do always share the same mood..." Says Rosalie. "I just thought it was some sort of weird bond they had."

"You can always tell when Edwards is in your head." Points out Alice.

"She's right." Says Jasper. "I never thought anything of it."

"Let's just make my life more complicated." I groan. I'm going to go hunting." I say getting up.

"Luna..." Says Jasper.

"Come with me if you want but I'm going out for a little bit."

"We'll be back." Says Jasper pulling me outside.

I take off before he can say anything to me but I know he is right on my tail. I know I shouldn't be worried about this at all but it's just new and weird and it's stressing me out. I stop when I catch the scent of a mountain lion and I take off again tracking it. It takes me all of two seconds to take it down and drain it. I can sense Jasper watching me and I look up at him.

"What?"

"Nothing I'm just making sure you're okay."

"I'm sorry I'm just...a little overwhelmed right now." I say standing up.

"I get it, I do and I'm sorry. I feel like it's just one thing after the other."

"It's okay." I say wrapping my arms around him. He presses a kiss to my head and rubs my back.

"I can't believe I didn't notice..."

"It's okay Jazz, it would be hard for you to pick up on."

"Earlier...when you saw Alice's vision...what was it?"

"I don't know it was really fuzzy."

"Hmm..."

"Yeah...maybe we should head back."

"No we can stay out a little longer, I want to stay out a little longer."

"Okay." I smile giving him a quick kiss.

We stay out for a few more hours the two of us just hunting and spending some quiet time together. By the time we get back to the house it's already 1 in the morning. Emmet and Xander are playing video games, Rosalie and Alice are each reading a book and Carlisle and Esme are nowhere to be found. Jasper and I go up to our room and lay down on the bed. We do this a lot as a way of relaxing.

"Luna?" Whispers Jasper.

"Hm?"

"We can't let the Volturi know about this."

"I know." I sigh. "They probably have ways of finding these things out though."

"Yeah well I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen for a while."

"Relax Jazz, it's okay. You don't need to worry about this right now." I say kissing him.

"Just...be careful okay?"

"I will be." I smile.

Jasper's POV

Luna and I are out a few days later when my phone rings. I take it out of my pocket to see Alice is calling.

"Who is it?" Ask Luna.

"It's Alice..." I say before picking up. "Hey."

"We need you two to come home."

"Why...?"

"Just come home please."

"Okay, we'll be there soon."

"What was that about?"

"I don't know, we need to head back though."

The two of us get back to the house in record time and as soon as I walk in I can feel how tense everyone is. Luna feels it too cause she grabs my hand and gives me a quizzical look. We walk into the living room and sit down.

"What's going on?" Ask Luna.

"Edward called..." Starts Alice.

"Okay...and?" I ask.

"They think Bella's pregnant..." Says Rosalie.

"Shit." Says Luna.

"They are coming home right?" I ask.

"On their way now." Says Carlisle.

"Unbelievable...what are we supposed to do?" Ask Luna. "Is it even safe for me to be around?"

"You'll be fine Luna." Says Esme.

"We just all need to be careful." Says Carlisle.

"It's going to kill her." Points out Xander.

"Knowing Bella she'll take the risk." Says Rosalie.

"It's not for us to decide, we can only give our opinion." Says Esme.

"So what do we do?" I ask.

"Wait for them to get back and assess the situation. Until then no one can know about this, not the wolves, not the Denali's."

"Okay." We all say.

Carlisle leaves to go back to work and the rest of us just sit there for a minute. Luna gets up and walks to her studio and I follow her. I watch her for a few minutes before she looks at me.

"I love Bella's but she is so stupid sometimes...what the hell were they thinking?"

"I wish I knew darlin."

"Like we were smarter than that, Edward knows better."

"Maybe we should just have you talk to them." I smile.

"I'm sorry I'm just stressed."

"I can tell."

"Yeah I need a different project." She says moving her current project.

"What do you have in mind?"

"Want to help me?"

"Uh."

And that's how I find myself throwing paint at a rather large canvas a few minutes later. Luna handed me paint and a rather large brush.

"Babe don't think just throw." She laughs.

"Isn't this messy?"

"That's the point. I've got the tarp up its fine."

"But I don't get it."

"Jazz it's helping to release stress, there is no rhyme or reason just throw the paint."

"Okay." I do and she laughs. "And this is really art?"

"Yeah, I mean I obviously don't don't do it a lot but it comes in handy sometimes."

"I've never been the artistic type..."

"I know." She smiles. "But it's fun right?"

"Yeah."

Xander walks in a little bit later and laughs. "What did you two do?"

"Well you see Xander when I'm stressed I like to work on art projects. Painting a portrait or something wasn't cutting it, this was more fun."

"And you got Jasper to do it?"

"Yeah." I laugh.

"Well Alice and I are going hunting if you two want to come."

"Sure." Smiles Luna.

The next 24 hours are pretty relaxing but as soon as Bella and Edward get back the house becomes a mess. Everyone is nervous, everyone is stressed. Bella wants to keep the baby, Edward wants to kill it because it's killing her. The rest of us just find it better to keep our mouths shut. Jacob finds out and that just makes things worse, the whole thing is a mess. I can't find Luna in the house one day and that freaks me out. I left for a few minutes to help Emmet with something and now she is gone.

"She went to the meadow Jasper." Says Rosalie. Surprisingly she has been the calmest about this whole thing.

"Thanks."

I walk out the door and I'm there in a split second. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you I left I just had to get out. The blood is driving me crazy and I can read Edwards thoughts cause I don't know how to stop it."

"You don't have to explain it to me darlin." I sigh sitting down next to her. We figured out that if Bella drinks blood it'll help her keep some strength up but it's humans blood so Luna can only put up with so much.

"Are Jacob, Leah, and Seth still at the house?" She ask.

"Yup."

"Oh my god."

"So I actually talked with Esme...I know we've been fixing up the cottage for Edward and Bella but we can use it until they do...I know it's been hard on you to be in the house right now and we sold your parents house so that's not an option."

"Really?" She ask.

"Yeah, we just need our own space till this is over."

Thank you." She smiles kissing me.

"Your welcome."

"How do you handle feeling everyones emotions? It's so hard to block it out." she says after a few minutes.

"We just need to work on controlling your gift. I'll help you it just takes time darlin." I sigh. "I know you didn't exactly get to ease into it and now your being thrown into a situation where you have to deal with three different gifts because of it. All while everyone is high strung. I'm sorry, I wish the circumstances were different."

"It's not your fault." she whispers. "It's just confusing right now."

She is right, everything is just confusing right now. I wish there was something more I could do to help her but we are all stretched to our limits right now. I just hope this gets resolved soon, I'm not sure how much more we can all take.
