Hey, this is the final chapter, a bit of an epilogue, of the new and improved Whitlock's Army Brat: Violent Beginnings. I would like to make a very special thanks to xXxFlameof-TheFanxXx, for helping me to get my ideas together for this one. It started out as just a word or two, bringing the idea to my head, but now, thanks to your awesome ideas, it's become six full stories. Yeap, this is Part 1 of my version of the Twilight Saga, but from a totally different POV. I hope you have enjoyed the story and will be looking out for the next story in the series, my version of Twilight.

I would also like to apologise for the delay in getting this up, but honestly college and real life over took everything. With starting University in September I'm sure updates on any future projects are going to be painfully slow.

Summary: Being a leader of Maria's army, Jasper is on top of the food chain. He's trained to kill, trained to fight, and trained others. What will happen when he gets assigned a new job as 'protector'? Will he shirk his new responsibility or will his job open up a whole new side to him?

Warning: Contains talk of abuse in the first chapter, as well as spankings of minors and teenagers in later chapters. If it's not your cup of tea, don't read.

I would like to extend a special thanks to Jules Ann for beta-ing this one for me and for listening to me rant about everything. Thank you so much, your friendship means the world and more to me! Also thank you to: Spawn, Child of Music and Dreams, JacobBlackk, lilyflower101, caseyrn12, Robin Rokossovsky, Sophia, FastandFuriousChick, crazyikleangel, AllRawrz, cullenmint, debbie111908, and all the guests for all your reviews. Also thanks to everyone who has liked and followed this story, and thank you for being so patient with me.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. The only thing I own is this idea, and Tabitha Mae Johnson/Whitlock. She is mine, but nothing else.

About a week after everyone settled in Carlisle asked to speak with Jasper privately in his study. He would have done so sooner, but certain things took time. "Jasper, I am more than happy to welcome all of you into my family, but in this family there are certain rules that my children need to obey and consequences for breaking those rules. You spank Tabitha when she misbehaves; I spank Edward, Emmett and Rosalie when they misbehave. Which means, as members of my family, you will be subject to the same rules and consequences as my other children," he explained.

Jasper tensed but nodded slowly. "I… I can accept that, but Tabby is my daughter and I will deal with her misbehaviour as her father. If she directly defies you and your rules or I am not available then I trust you to handle any discipline she needs and she will submit to a spanking from you."

Carlisle held up his hands in surrender. "I am certainly not trying to usurp your position as Tabby's father Jasper, please don't think that for a second. I simply wanted to explain what joining the family meant. While we would be happy to consider you like extended family if you decided you couldn't accept a spanking as a consequence, I am afraid living here full time would not be possible if that was the case," he clarified.

Jasper relaxed when Carlisle explained he was not trying to take his place at Tabby's father. He paused then, could they accept a spanking… well he was one hundred and six years old. Was there really going to come a time when he even needed discipline? He seriously doubted there would be so there was no reason for him not to accept that. "Sorry Sir, that's perfectly reasonable and no we can definitely accept that. After all, like you said, it is how I deal with Tabby misbehaving," he agreed.

Carlisle nodded. "Excellent, well with that settled how about we move this conversation to the dining room so I can explain the rules to everyone? Oh before that though, Tabby calls Charlotte and Peter Aunt and Uncle, have you allowed Charlotte and Peter to spank her?" he asked.

Jasper nodded. "Yes, well Peter has more than Charlotte, but with her having an extra Aunt and two more Uncle's that would mean everyone in the family being able to spank her and I think that would be a little unfair," he thought aloud.

"Yes, that was my thought as well. Esme does not spank often but a spanking from her does mean occasionally a second spanking from me if I feel the lesson needs to be reinforced. I do not allowed Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward to spank one another, and in that vein I will not be allowing you to spank Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, Peter, Charlotte, or Edward," Carlisle continued.

Jasper accepted that easily. "That is fine, I've only ever spanked Tabby anyway. I will concede to your rules if Tabby gets a spanking from Esme and you feel the need for reinforcement. I will make sure she follows any family rules you put in place for us, but if I'm not around please don't feel like you have to walk around on eggshells. She is part of your family too and should follow your rules just as much as mine," he added.

"If she directly defies me, physically attacks Esme or me, lies to me, or uses her gift to manipulate anyone in the family, even if you are around, she will answer to me. I won't stop you from reinforcing the lesson but I will deal with it personally," Carlisle informed the young father.

"That's fine," Jasper agreed easily.

Carlisle reached down into his desk draw and brought out a collection of black boxes and a thick manila envelope. "I think that's everything I needed to ask you in private. Now I believe it is time to talk to the family as a whole," he decided.

Jasper agreed and stood up, he wasn't sure what the boxes meant but he could tell from Carlisle's emotions there was something the man wanted to do.

Carlisle led out of his office. "Family meeting in the dining room," he called.

"Whitlock's that includes us," Jasper added.

Both spoke at normal conversational volume, with the vampire hearing everyone would hear.

They met everyone in the dining room, Tabby flitting over to her Daddy and hugging him happily. She'd seen this happening the second Carlisle had decided to have the conversation with her Daddy and she knew how happy this would make her Mom. She was happy her Uncle Peter and Aunt Charlotte would no longer be allowed to spank her, and she hoped she didn't do anything to earn a spanking from her Grandpa or Grandma.

Carlisle took his place at the head of the table, Esme by his side and set the boxes on the table. He looked at the five new members of his family and his other three children, his family was almost complete now, just Edward's mate to go.

Esme saw the boxes and beamed, knowing what they meant.

"Charlotte Anne Whitlock. The start to your life, as a vampire, was not an easy one, but you survived the odds and have become a truly wonderful young vampire with love and compassion. It gives me great pleasure to offer you my family crest in the hopes you accept it and accept your place as mine and Esme's daughter," Carlisle announced. He opened the box revealing a necklace with his crest as the pendant and Charlotte Whitlock Cullen inscribed on the back. "I know you are proud to be Charlotte Whitlock, but I hope you can come to be proud of being Charlotte Whitlock Cullen as well," he added.

Charlotte's hand flew to her mouth. She looked at Peter who looked just as amazed as she did, then to her niece who looked thrilled and nodded at her, and finally to her brother and previous coven leader who smiled proudly and nodded. "I… thank you Sir, this… I… thank you," Charlotte choked out.

Carlisle smiled at his newest daughter. "No thanks are necessary, and please Dad or any of the fatherly titles are much better than Sir, or even just Carlisle if that's easier," he corrected.

Charlotte flitted to Carlisle and threw her arms around him, hugging her tightly. "Dad," she declared firmly.

Carlisle wrapped his arms around his daughter. He thought Charlotte was either Edward's age or Rosalie's, he wasn't sure if she remembered.

Charlotte finally pulled back and looked at the crest eagerly.

Carlisle smiled. "Would you allow me to put your crest around your neck?" he asked.

Charlotte nodded wordlessly and turned holding her hair up out of the way.

Carlisle removed the necklace from the box and gently unclasped it. He put it around his new daughter's neck, smiling as the crest lay perfectly against her chest. He closed the clasp and let the chain fall into place. "Welcome to the family my daughter."

Esme smiled and opened her arms out for her new daughter.

Charlotte flitted to her new Mom and hugged her tightly. "Thank you Mom," she breathed.

"You're more than welcome my daughter," Esme told her. "Now, hurry back to your seat your Dad has a few more things to do before we're done," she whispered.

Charlotte returned to her seat, beaming as her new siblings welcomed her happily.

Carlisle smiled and picked up another box. "Peter James Whitlock. Like your mate the start to your life, as a vampire, was not an easy one, but again you survived the odds and have become a truly wonderful young vampire with love and compassion, protectiveness and strength. It gives me great pleasure to offer you my family crest in the hopes you accept it and accept your place as mine and Esme's son," he announced. He opened the box revealing a black leather cuff with his crest set onto it and Peter Whitlock Cullen inscribed on the inside. "I know you are proud to be Peter Whitlock, but I hope you can come to be proud of being Peter Whitlock Cullen as well," he added as he had for Charlotte.

Peter only checked briefly with Jasper before getting up and walking over to Carlisle. "Thank you," he murmured touched.

"Once again no thanks are necessary son," Carlisle reminded. "Would you allow me to put your crest on your wrist?" He asked.

Peter nodded and pushed up the right sleeve of his shirt.

Carlisle stood and turned Peter's wrist over and swiftly tied the cuff into place. "Welcome to the family son."

Peter paused and gave Carlisle a brief hug. "I will try to be worthy of this… Dad," he promised.

"You already are Peter, I promise you that my son," Carlisle returned. He returned the hug and glanced at his wife.

Esme beamed and opened her arms up for Peter; thrilled he had accepted his place as their son, her son.

Peter smiled and hugged Esme tightly. "I promise not to drive you too crazy Ma," he vowed.

Esme laughed as she hugged Peter tightly. "You're my son. It's your job to drive me crazy," she reminded him.

Peter smiled and with a small tightening of the hug he let go of his Ma and returned to his seat by his mate. He couldn't help but smile as Rose, Edward, and Emmett welcomed him to the family.

Carlisle waited for everyone to settle down before pulling the third box to him. "Alice Whitlock. You might not know much about your human life and you might yet still be young to this life, but already you have become a truly wonderful young vampire, with a heart full of compassion and kindness. It gives me great pleasure to offer you my family crest in the hopes you accept it and accept your place as mine and Esme's daughter," he announced. He opened the box revealing a revealing a necklace with his crest as the pendant and Alice Whitlock Cullen inscribed on the back. "I know you are proud to be Alice Whitlock, but I hope you can come to be proud of being Alice Whitlock Cullen as well," he added.

Alice squealed and was up out of her seat and dashing over to Carlisle. "Put it on me Dad!" She insisted hopping up and down.

Jasper and Tabby shared a look, trying not to laugh. Jasper reached over and ruffled his daughter's hair smiling.

Carlisle smiled. "I would be honoured," he answered. He stood and as he had for Charlotte he put the chain around Alice's neck, "welcome to the family my daughter."

Alice squealed again and turned and wrapped her arms around Carlisle's neck happily. "I love it. Thanks Dad," she gushed. Then without giving him a chance to say anything she ran to her new Mom and hugged her to. "Thank you Mom!" She exclaimed. She ended the hug and ran for her daughter picking her up and spinning her round delightedly. "Did you see this?" She asked.

Tabby giggled as her Mom picked her up and nodded happily. "Yes, I did," she admitted. The one thing she hadn't seen was her own crest, she wasn't sure why but she accepted it was probably because she was Jasper's child.

Carlisle smiled watching as his daughter celebrated her new position with her daughter. He waited until Tabby and Alice were back in their seats before turning to Jasper. "Jasper Nathan Whitlock. To say the start to your life, as a vampire, was hard is a gross understatement. Your scars bare testament to not only your skill as a warrior, but also your strength and desire to survive despite the odds. Despite living for so long in a kill or be killed environment you have come through become a kind and compassionate vampire, and a loving father. It gives me great pleasure to offer you my family crest in the hopes you accept it and accept your place as mine and Esme's son," he announced. He opened the box revealing a black leather cuff with his crest set onto it and Jasper Whitlock Cullen inscribed on the inside. "I know you are proud to be Jasper Whitlock, but I hope you can come to be proud of being Jasper Whitlock Cullen as well," he added as he had for his mate.

Jasper was slightly hesitant to accept this; he'd noticed the fact that his own daughter hadn't received a crest yet and there were only four boxes on the table. Though he could have sworn the vampire had pulled five from his desk. He felt his new leader's emotions and knew he was up to something so decided to go along with it for now. He walked up to his new leader and presented his right arm, pulling up the sleeve slightly.

Carlisle smiled and pulled the cuff out of the box, revealing a ring nestled underneath. "Wait here once we're done please," he whispered. He spoke only just loud enough for Jasper to hear, so that the rest of his family wouldn't hear.

Jasper looked curiously at the ring and nodded his acceptance.

Carlisle slid the cuff on, deftly tying it in place. "Welcome to the family son," he intoned happily.

Esme opened her arms up for her newest son. She knew what was coming next; it was why it took almost a week to get the crests sorted.

Jasper went and hugged Esme. "You and Pa are up to something Ma," he whispered in her ear.

Esme smiled. "Don't worry, it's nothing bad," she promised.

Jasper nodded and this time instead of returning to his seat he stood next to his knew father and coven leader.

"Jasper Whitlock Cullen, you now wear the Cullen Crest, however you are still the leader of the Whitlock Coven and I would never, ever do anything to dilute the honour of that role. Here I have had made a Whitlock Ring, so that you never forget your roots," Carlisle announced. He pulled the ring out and offered it to Jasper.

Jasper blinked having not expected that at all and accepted the ring, holding it in his hand to feel its weight before placing it on his right ring finger.

Carlisle smiled and then turned to look at his granddaughter. He pulled a fifth black box from his pocket and laid it on the table. "Tabitha Mae Whitlock. I hope you'll forgive me for hiding this from you, but I am pleased to see I succeeded. Despite starting this life in a blood thirsty, kill or be killed, environment, amazingly you were able to preserve your innocence. When I look at you I see a wonderful, sweet, kind, loving, passionate, and beautiful little girl. It gives me great pleasure to offer you my family crest in the hopes you accept it and accept your place as mine and Esme's granddaughter," he announced. He opened the box to reveal a beautiful locket with the Cullen and Whitlock crest on the front; he opened the locket to reveal Tabitha Whitlock Cullen inscribed on the inside. "I know you are proud to be Tabitha Whitlock and I hope you always will be, but I hope you will come to be just as proud to be Tabitha Whitlock Cullen," he finished.

Tabby was shocked, not a normal state for her, normally she saw decisions and so surprising her was a real challenge. After a beat of stillness she got up and launched herself across the table at her Grandpa, hugging him tightly. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She exclaimed. Unable to hold herself she leapt over to her Daddy and hugged in tightly, needing his calm to stop herself from exploding.

Jasper held his daughter and sent her a few calming waves, kissing her head. "Go get your crests Kitten," he instructed lightly. He put her down on the floor and watched as she almost vibrated in place waiting for the locket.

Carlisle smiled and quickly fastened the locket around her neck, surprised to find himself once again with arms full of an emotional child vampire. He held her close and ran his fingers through her hair. "Welcome to the family my granddaughter," he cooed.

Tabby beamed at that and hugged in tighter briefly before leaping over to her Grandma. "Thank you Grandma. Thank you," she choked out emotionally.

Esme held her grandchild close and relished in the feel of the child's body against hers. "No thanks are necessary my sweet granddaughter. We wouldn't have it any other way," she promised.

Carlisle glanced at Jasper and then at Tabby. "If everyone could hold on for one more minute I have a few more bits to go over," he explained.

Tabby looked up when she felt her Dad tapping her on her shoulder.

"Come on Tabby, not done yet," Jasper explained. He opened up his arms for her, knowing she was still very emotional and would need his calmness to sit though this next bit.

Tabby reached out and let her Dad pick her up, immediately snugging into his embrace and letting his calmness wash over her.

Jasper took his daughter back to his seat and sat down with her on his lap.

Carlisle nodded, accepting this. He turned to the rest of his kids. "Emmett, Rose, Edward, the three of you already know the rules, just so you know nothing has changed there. The one thing I want to clarify is that although Tabby calls you Aunt and Uncle you are not a figure of authority for her. Jasper and Alice are her parents and Esme and I are her grandparents," he informed them.

"If she is with you and she is misbehaving, you may send her to her room, or if she needs a time out then to the corner, but spanking will be done by Alice and myself, or if necessary Carlisle and Esme," Jasper clarified. "Peter, Char, I know previously you've had permission to spank her, but not anymore okay?"

Peter and Charlotte nodded accepting that easily.

Carlisle looked at Tabby directly now. "Normally your parents will be the ones dealing with any disobedience, as they are the head of your family. However we are also a larger family, of which I am the head of, so I expect you to respect your Grandma and me and obey us as well. Even so in most cases your parents will be the ones handing out discipline. The only time I will spank you myself is if they are not around, or in the case of extreme defiance. Grandma will also dole out spankings, if you act in such a way that it forces your Grandma to spank you I will reinforce the lesson," he informed her.

Tabby nodded, having already seen all of this being discussed and accepting it willingly.

Jasper tapped her shoulder to get her attention. "If your Grandpa has to spank you Tabby then there's a good chance I will decide to reinforce his lesson… understood?" He asked.

Tabby looked at her Daddy and nodded in acceptance of that. "Yes Sir," she responded dutifully.

Jasper smiled and kissed her cheek. "That's my girl," he praised.

Carlisle smiled and turned to Peter, Charlotte, and Alice. "You have all accepted your place in this family, I will never force you to stay if you feel you cannot accept my rules, or accept my consequences. Whether or not you accept these rules you can still keep your crests, just be considered extended family. You'll be welcome to stay for extended periods, but with a family as large as ours there needs to be rules and so you may live close and we'll set you up with a nice house, but under my roof means under my rules," he explained. He knew Jasper had already accepted this, reluctantly maybe but he'd still accepted it.

Peter and Charlotte shared a look, while Alice looked at Jasper confused.

"Look at me please," Carlisle requested. Once he had all their eyes on him he continued. "In this family I have a few simple rules. Always be respectful to my mate and me, never ever attack anyone physically unless it is in self-defence, do not engage in any reckless behaviour, do not use your gifts to manipulate anyone unless it is a life or death situation or to protect our secret, and don't bring attention to the family. These are the big rules. Respect involves a lot of things, obedience, being honest, no swearing, respectful tones and such. Do not ever lie to my mate or me, we will find out and the consequences will definitely be a lot worse than if you had just told the truth. Other than that, the rest are basic common sense things," he explained.

The five new Cullen's, nodded in acceptance of those rules, they made sense.

"Now, as for consequences. If you break any of these rules you will find yourself getting a spanking. As you may have noticed with Tabby it's a rather effective punishment that corrects the behaviour pretty fast," Carlisle surveyed his new family members. "Can all of you accept these rules and consequences?" He asked.

Peter glanced at Charlotte, he could see how much his mate wanted to be part of this family, though he wasn't too keen on the idea of being spanked for misbehaving, he was pretty sure it wouldn't be too much of an issue. "Yes Sir," he agreed quickly.

Charlotte beamed at Peter happily. She'd never had made her mate stay if he hadn't wanted to, but she was thrilled he'd agree. "Yes Dad, I accept your rules and consequences," she answered a beat later.

Jasper glanced at Alice, letting her know it was up to her. He held Tabby just a little tighter to stop her from answering herself; he knew she accepted – it wasn't exactly anything new for her.

Alice looked at Jasper and saw the understanding in his eyes. "Yes, yes Dad I accept. The rules are fair and easy enough to follow," she responded.

Jasper looked down at Tabby and raised an eyebrow waiting for her to say she accepted.

"I thought I could see the future," Tabby quipped at her Dad. She turned to her Grandpa. "Of course I can accept that Grandpa," she told him.

Jasper smiled at his daughter, kissing her temple. "You know my answer Pa. I accept your rules and your consequences," he affirmed.

Carlisle smiled warmly at his four new children and new grandchild. "Excellent. I'm sure your siblings are waiting to regale you with horror stories of previous spankings, but before that I have one more thing. I have had a set of new identities made up for all of you, so that you actually exist in the system and once I am sure your bloodlust is suitably under control you can attend school with your siblings." He opened the envelope and picked up the first one. "Jasper, knowing how proud you are of being a Whitlock, I have given you and Peter the surname Whitlock for our next move, along with Tabby. You are brothers and Tabby your younger sister," he told them and slid the three documents across. "Alice, I hope you don't mind that I have made you Alice Cullen documents, Emmett's younger sister." Once again he slid the documents over to her. "Charlotte, due to your similarities to Rosalie, and her preference for using Hale, I have opted to give you her surname for this time."

All five of them looked at their new identities happily.

"You also all have Cullen papers and Whitlock papers. If you decide there are other papers you want you may get them. I know Rose and Emmett have quite a few sets of papers and identities they use, just updating the dates when they need to," Carlisle finished. He slid the envelope over to Jasper so he could hand out the rest of the papers. "I do believe I have now covered everything. This week I will be evaluating your control of your bloodlust before we move and you can get settled into life as a Cullen," he finished.

The new family of vampires soon connected as a family. Charlotte, Alice, and Rose bonded as sisters, Alice feeling much happier in her role as a daughter and having a large family around her, Charlotte thriving on her parents love, Rose was overjoyed to have sisters to have girly retreats with. Jasper became the unspoken second in command, the one his siblings all looked up to and followed if Carlisle wasn't around. Peter found a kindred spirit in Emmett and once he realised he didn't have to be on his guard and obey the Major all the time he was able to show his true colours and become the second comedian of the family, both of them often teasing Edward. Tabby was finally able to just be a child, she looked out for her new family, but mostly she just had fun. She bonded well with Edward, both of them being unmated and uniquely talented.

Carlisle had to discipline each of his new children a few times. Jasper and Peter were, surprisingly the two who found it hardest to submit the first time. Reminding Jasper that he would discipline his own daughter the same away convinced his son to give in. With Peter it took him asking if he wanted to leave before he gave in and accepted the spanking. He had only had to spank Tabby once so far, and he was surprised by how hard it was to go through with, his kids were all older, Emmett, Jasper, and Peter were actually taller than him; Tabby was still very much a child – always would be – and very small. He knew there and then Esme would never be able to spank their granddaughter, no matter what she did.

So there you have it, the final chapter of Whitlock's Army Brat: Violent Beginnings. I hope you liked it and please, please, drop a review to let me know your thoughts and such. Keep a look out for the next instalment where I look at Twilight from Tabby's POV and how having her there changes things.
