(U)Epilogue(U)

(B)We'll b at the Cullen's house in ½ an hour. Can u and Jasper meet us there? We need to talk. It's important. Bella. (B)

(I)We'll be there. Draco.(I)

"I'll carry you," Jasper offered softly, holding out his arms.

"No," Draco shook his head, a slightly wicked smile appearing on his face, "I think it's time I showed you one of the ways that a wizard can travel." He pulled out his wand, sighing deeply and focusing on what he was about to do. "Harry…?"

"Go. I'll distract your parents," Harry said with a smile. Teddy was still asleep.

"Thanks Harry," Draco smiled back at him before turning to a rather confused Jasper, "Take my hand."

"Why?" Jasper asked, a little suspiciously.

"Do you trust me?" Draco asked, holding out his hand.

"Yes…" Jasper said slowly.

"Then take my hand," Draco repeated, wiggling his fingers at his boyfriend. Slowly Jasper reached out, looking into Draco's eyes and finding only reassurance. He slid his hand into his boyfriends, lacing their fingers. "Hold on tight."

And then the world seemed to drop out from under them, spinning around them wildly. Jasper, for the first time in his immortal life, felt nauseated. He couldn't focus on anything as images swirled around him like gusts of wind. His grip on Draco's hand must have been painfully tight, enough to make the blond wizard wince ever so slightly and then…it stopped.

"You ok?" Draco asked. Jasper heard gasps of surprise coming from around the room they had landed in and it took him a moment to realise it was the front room of his house on the other side of Forks.

"What was that?" Jasper asked, letting go of Draco's hand.

"That was Apparation," Draco smiled at his boyfriend, putting his hand behind his back so that the stunned vampire wouldn't see him rubbing his bruised hand gently to get the blood circulating again. "What did you think?"

"I think if I were human I would be throwing up," Jasper said bluntly.

"I know," Draco laughed, "I threw up my first time." He turned around, looking at the stunned faces around the room. "You get used to it. Like you get you get used to travelling by Portkey."

"By what?" Emmett asked loudly from across the room.

"A Portkey is an ordinary looking object that is spelled with a specific time to activate and a destination and then it will take whoever is touching it to that destination. It's sort of like Apparating only for large groups," Draco explained happily. "Still makes you feel sick the first few times and is a much more…violent landing. Sends you falling on your bums until you get used to it."

"Cool!" Emmett shouted loudly, grinning across at Draco, "You'll have to take us for a ride on a Portkey some time!"

"Can do," Draco smiled, "It's nice to see you all again."

"It's lovely to see you too Draco but you look like you need to eat more," Esme said in her most mothering tone causing Draco to groan. "I've got some cookies in the kitchen. I'll go and get them and you can snack on them while we talk." She was gone before Draco could protest and returned with a giant bowl of delicious smelling cookies.

"Bella?" Carlisle asked softly, "The floor is yours."

"Well," Bella mumbled after clearing her throat, "I'm sure Alice has told you all about what happened in Volterra but we need to go over it for Draco and Jasper." The Cullens nodded in agreement and Bella stepped forwards into the centre of the uneven circle everyone had automatically created and turned to face Draco and Jasper. "After I stopped Edward we were taken to meet the Volturi. We talked about stupid stuff…"

"It was not stupid stuff," Alice corrected, "They had a discussion about how good Bella smells to our kind."

"As I said, stupid stuff," Bella glared at her, "Then their leader, Aro, wanted to know how I could stop Edward reading my mind and then…well he tested a few other gifts on me and they didn't work." Edward growled softly, remembering the anger he had felt when Jane had tried to hurt his Bella. "Then there was bit of talk about Edward and Alice joining the Volturi they said no…"

"Too bloody right," Emmett muttered.

"Then he offered me a position with them," Bella explained softly.

"But you're human," Draco protested.

"Yeah, well he doesn't want me human much longer. We'll come to that in a minute. I declined," Bella said softly, "And then the angry one, um…" she looked to Edward, obviously having forgotten the 'angry ones' name.

"Caius," Edward supplied.

"Yeah. He wanted to kill me for knowing too much," Bella said quickly. "It's the law apparently. But then Aro, well he said that I wouldn't have to die if Edward gave them his word that one day soon I would be one of you," she looked around at the Cullens. "And then he read Alice's mind and it got a bit more confusing."

"More confusing?" Draco asked.

"He saw you," Bella explained softly, "Apparently they don't like wizards." She winced and Draco nodded in understanding. "Caius was all for leaving then and there and coming here to kill you but Aro had seen…"

"Had seen what?" Jasper asked.

"Had seen Alice's vision of our futures," Bella said quietly, "Soon, Draco, me and you are going to become vampires." The room was silent as the wizard among them took in this very important piece of information. "Aro let us go after that. But they will be visiting to check that it does happen."

"If we don't keep our end of the 'deal'," Edward growled the word, looking furious, "Then they will kill us all."

"Shit," Draco mumbled, "Sorry." He looked across at Esme who smiled fondly at him, nodding her head to show that it was all right. "So that's why you wanted us here," he said softly.

"No," Bella shook her head, "I want you here for this bit. That was just to get you up to date." She took a deep breath looked around at the serious faces of the Cullen family members. "I'm not going to speak for Draco. His decision is his own. I am speaking merely for myself. I have a problem. Alice promised the Volturi that I would become one of you. They're going to send someone to check and I'm sure that's a bad thing, something to avoid. And so now this involves all of you. I'm sorry about that." She looked around at them again, her gaze finishing on a rather grim looking Edward. "But, if you don't want me, then I'm not going to force myself on you, whether Alice is willing or not."

Esme and Draco moved to speak at the same time, Esme to argue for her family and Draco to ask what on Earth she was talking about. Bell held up a hand to shush them both.

"Please, let me finish," she said softly, "You all know what I want. And I'm sure you know what Edward thinks, too. I think the only fair way to decide is for everyone to have a vote."

"A vote!" Draco gasped in disbelief, "You can't be serious!"

"A vote," Bella said firmly, "If you decide you don't want me then…I guess I'll go back to Italy alone. I can't have (I)them(I) coming (I)here(I)." And angry growl came from Edward at that suggestion and Draco could not blame him. That was not one of his friends finer ideas. "Taking into account, then, that I won't put any of you in danger either way, I want you to vote yes or no on the issue of me becoming a vampire. Not me and Draco, just me."

"Bella, this is mad," Draco said softly and once again Bella shushed him with a wave of her pale hand. She looked at Carlisle, obviously wanting him to vote first.

"Just a minute," Edward interrupted before the head of their family could speak, "I have something to add before we vote. About the danger Bella's referring to. I don't think we need to be overly anxious." Draco could just feel another speech coming on. "You there was another reason why I didn't want to shake Aro's hand there at the end. There's something they didn't think of, and I didn't want to clue them in." He was grinning now.

"Which was?" Alice asked, sounding sceptical. Bella looked…well a bit pissed off really and Draco could understand why. This was her meeting and Edward was stealing her limelight with his 'plan'.

"The Volturi are overconfident, and with good reason. When they decode to find someone, it's not really a problem. Do you remember Dmitri?" he looked at his girlfriend and Draco noticed her shudder.

"That's the tracking one right?" he asked Jasper softly.

"Yeah," Jasper nodded.

"He finds people," Edward continued, "That's his talent, why the keep him. Now the whole time we were with them, I was picking their brains for anything that might save us, getting as much information as possible. So I saw how Dmitri's talent works. He's a tracker - a tracker a thousand time's more gifted than James. His ability is loosely related to what I do, or what Aro does. He catches the…flavour? I don't know how to describe it…the tenor…of someone's mind, and then he follows that. It works over immense distances."

"You lot like you're speeches don't you," Draco muttered, trying not to show how creeped out he was by the much more in depth description of the bad vampires gift. Jaspers light description had told Draco the guy was creepy, this one told him that he was very creepy and very dangerous.

"But after Aro's little experiments, well…" Edward trailed off, shrugging.

"You think he won't be able to find me," Bella said, her voice flat.

"I'm sure of it," Edward didn't even try to keep the smug tone out of his voice, "He relies totally on that other sense. When it doesn't work with you, they'll all be blind. And he won't be able to find Draco for them because he's never met Draco." He looked over at the wizard as he spoke.

"And how does that solve anything?" Bella asked, sounding a tiny bit angry.

"Quite obviously, Alice will be able to tell when they're planning a visit, and I'll hide you. We'll hide Draco too. They'll be helpless," he said happily, "It will be like looking for a piece of straw in a haystack!"

"What?" Draco asked, confused at the obviously muggle saying.

"But they can find you," Bella pointed out, speaking above him and ignoring the smirk exchanged between Edward and Emmett.

"And I can take care of myself," Edward countered.

"Excellent plan, my brother," Emmett laughed, reaching out so that the two vampire's could bump fists making a sound like two rocks being hit together.

"No," Rosalie disagreed in a hiss.

"Absolutely not," Bella agreed with her, amazingly.

"Nice," Jasper agreed, causing Draco to turn and glare at him.

"Idiots," Alice muttered. Esme settled simply for glaring at Edward for even suggesting such a plan. Bella cleared her throat once more and Draco, tired of holding the bowl took this opportunity as she began to speak once more to put the bowl down on one of the little tables in the room.

"All right, then," Bella said firmly, "Edward has offered an alternative for you to consider. Let's vote." She turned to her boyfriend, almost glaring up at him as she asked him loudly, "Do you want me to join your family?"

"Not that way," his voice was understandably hard, "You're staying human."

"Alice?" Bella asked, turning to the smallest vampire in the room.

"Yes," she answered immediately, grinning.

"Jasper?" Bella asked.

"Yes," Jasper said softly, causing Draco to look at him sharply.

"Draco?" Bella asked, "I want your opinion as well."

"Oh no, I am not getting involved in this. Votes are not a way to decide your path in life," he muttered angrily, thinking of the way the Ministry ran on votes. And how in the past those votes had been wrong a lot of the time.

"Draco…" Bella said softly.

"I will not vote," Draco said firmly, glaring at her until she moved on to the next member of the vampire family.

"Rosalie?" Bella asked. The beautiful vampire hesitated.

"No," she finally answered, biting her lip gently. Bella made to move on but Rosalie spoke again. "Let me explain," she almost pleaded and that surprised nearly everyone, "I don't mean that I have an aversion to you as a sister. It's just that…this is not the life I would have chosen for myself. I wish there had been someone there to vote no for me."

"She doesn't like being a vampire?" Draco asked Jasper softly.

"No," Jasper mumbled in response, shaking his head slightly.

"Emmett?" Bella asked, moving on around the circle.

"Hell, yes!" Emmett answered with a massive grin, "We can find some other way to pick a fight with this Dmitri." Bella grimaced and look at Esme. She didn't even need to ask the motherly vampire for her answer, Esme gave it willingly.

"Yes, of course, Bella. I already think of you, of both of you, as part of the family," she looked across at Draco.

"Thank you Esme," Bella mumbled softly. And then she turned to Carlisle and silence fell over the room as she stared at the leader of the Cullen family. Carlisle wouldn't look at Bella. He was looking at Edward.

"Edward," he said softly.

"No," Edward growled in response to whatever Carlisle's thoughts were.

"It's the only choice that makes sense," Carlisle insisted gently, "You've chosen not to live without her, and that doesn't leave me a choice." And that was when Edward stormed out of the room like an angry teenager. "I guess you know my vote," Carlisle said softly to Bella.

"Thanks," she mumbled, "That's all I needed. Thank you. For wanting to keep me. I feel exactly the same way about all of you." As Esme hugged Bella tightly Carlisle turned to Draco.

"I take it you do not desire a vote," he said softly.

"No," Draco said firmly. "I will not leave my future in the hands of a majority vote, no offence," he looked across at Bella who was still being hugged by Esme, both of them looking rather emotional. "I will know when the time has come."

"As you wish," Carlisle smiled and nodded. Jasper smiled at Draco, slipping his arm around his waist and pulling him close to him. Apparently Draco's decision was a little bit more popular than Bella's voting idea.

"Well, Alice," Bella said, pulling away from Esme and turning to the vampire she spoke to, "Where do you want to do this?" Alice looked absolutely terrified.

"No! No! NO!" Edward roared, rushing back into the room. Draco whimpered, vampires could shout really, really loud. Jasper held him tighter, his hand pulling Draco's head gently so that his cheek rested against Jasper's strong shoulder. Both of them watched as Edward came to a stop directly in front of his girlfriend. "Are you insane?" he shouted and Draco shuddered, "Have you utterly lost your mind?" Even Bella flinched at the final shout, covering her ears. Edward was very loud now.

"It's ok Draco, I'm here," Jasper murmured in his ear as Draco shuddered.

"Um, Bella," Alice interrupted, sounding anxious, "I don't think I'm (I)ready(I) for that. I'll need to prepare…" she trailed off, flinching softly.

"You promised," Bella said sulkily.

"I know, but…seriously, Bella! I don't have any idea how to (I)not(I) kill you," Alice said, sounding nervous and Draco didn't like hearing her sound nervous. She should only ever be allowed to sound happy.

"You can do it," Bella said encouragingly, "I trust you." Edward snarled and Alice shook her head quickly, looking like she wanted to flee from the room. "Carlisle?" Bella turned to the leader of the family. Edward's hand grabbed her chin, making her look at him whiles his other hand made a 'stop' signal at Carlisle.

"I'm able to do it," he answered Bella's question softly, "You would be in no danger of me losing control."

"Sounds good," Bella actually sounded pleased.

"Hold on," Edward growled, his teeth clenched, "It doesn't have to be now."

"There's no reason for it not to be," Bella pointed out.

"I can think of a few," Edward snapped.

"A few? I can think of many," Draco muttered.

"Of course you can," Bella once again spoke over Draco, "Now let go of me." He let go of her but remained close, folding his arms across his chest.

"In about two hours, Charlie will be here looking for you. I wouldn't put it past him to involve the police," he said loudly.

"All three of them," Bella scoffed but she was beginning to frown.

"She really wants this doesn't she?" Draco asked Jasper who nodded. He could feel her pure determination and her…her need to become one of them. Thankfully he felt nothing like this from his boyfriend. Draco was content to wait until the time was right.

"In the interest of remaining (I)inconspicuous(I)," Edward spoke, still in little more than a growl, "I suggest that we put this conversation off, at the very least until Bella finishes high school, and moves out of Charlie's house."

"That's a reasonable request, Bella," Carlisle pointed out.

"Very reasonable, logical too," Draco pointed out, lifting his head to look at his friend who now looked extremely thoughtful. Good, she needed to think a bit more about what she was getting herself into.

"I'll consider it," Bella finally muttered and Draco wasn't the only one to sigh in relief. Edward took a step back, his body relaxing.

"I should probably take you home," he said to Bella, "Just in case Charlie wakes up early." Bella turned to look at Carlisle, asking softly, "After graduation?"

"You have my word," Carlisle nodded.

"Ok," Bella breathed, nodding, "You can take me home."

A sigh went around the room as Edward practically rushed her out of the house, his arm around her shoulders firmly. Jasper didn't release Draco, still holding him close to his chest.

"So you don't want to become one of us yet, Draco?" Esme asked.

"No, not yet," Draco answered.

"I think that's a wise decision," Carlisle nodded.

"Thank you," Draco smiled at him.

"You haven't eaten any cookies," Esme sounded upset.

"It was a bit serious just now for cookies but…well I guess one won't hurt," Draco said, pulling away to pick out one cookie. One turned into two, into three, four, five…"These are really good!"

"Thank you," Esme would have been blushing at the praise.

"Oh!" Alice suddenly gasped, "He's asked her to marry him!"

"What?" Rosalie asked in shock.

"Ok, not so much asked, more…added a condition," Alice said softly, "He'll turn her sooner than her graduation if she will marry him first."

"Sneaky Edward," Emmett muttered.

"Oh I'd love for them to get married!" Esme gushed happily, "Wouldn't it be wonderful?" she asked her husband, sliding her arms through this. She looked to Draco who was now eating his seventh cookie. "If only…" she sighed sadly.

"I know," Jasper agreed with his mother sadly. Draco frowned, his mouth full of delicious cookie. "I wish I could marry you, Draco." Alice and Esme both squealed loudly as he said this. Draco gulped down the cookie and wiped a hand across his mouth to get rid of the crumbs.

"I wish so too," and the surprising thing was that as he said this he really found he meant it. During the war he'd decided he'd never get married…but then he'd also decided never to fall in love. That decision had lasted for all of two months, give or take a day or two. "But just so you know, if it were possible and you had asked me I would have said yes. In an instant. I will say yes in an instant."

"Oh!" Esme squealed even louder. Rosalie shook her head, muttering something as she left the room. Emmett followed his wife. Alice had clasped her hands together and her eyes were slightly glazed over as she watched a vision.

"You would?" Jasper asked softly.

"I would," Draco nodded. "I will." He smiled wickedly. "And without a condition in sight. I love you." Esme was now covering her mouth with her hand to stop an even louder squeal.

"And I love you. More than anything in the entire world," Jasper said firmly.

Carlisle had to pull the reluctant Esme and Alice out of the room as the couple kissed each other, Draco dropping what was left of the cookie onto the floor so that his hands could weave into Jasper's curls. Jasper's hand wound around Draco's body and pulled him close, resting on the warm back and keeping their chests together.

"I love you," Draco said again as they parted.

"I love you."

"But I do have one question," Draco said softly.

"Anything," Jasper said softly.

"Where did you put all the stuff you took from my room?" Draco asked, completely serious. For a moment Jasper looked stunned before he laughed out loud and kissed the love of his life once more. Of all questions…

THE END.

(Until 'Part Three' of course.)

A/N Well there we go, 'Part Two' is all done. Hope you like it. Now once again I'm having a short break from OLAL, I've got another story I want to get done (a Torchwood one if any of you are interested) but don't worry, that one is only going to have seven chapters. Have no fear; 'Part Three' will be with you soon.
