"I think you'd make a great dad Uncle Jazz"...
✰✰✰
Jasper Hale didn't know what to think or even feel as he stared blankly at the letter... He was overwhelmed with so much anger and sadness as his tight grip on the paper loosened and it slowly floated to the ground like everything was in slow motion...
Addison's words harshly pounded and pounded against his skull like a hammer to a rusty nail and without thinking he spun around on his heels and kicked the wooden bookshelf making it topple to the ground along with the books and a heavy crash that was loud enough to be heard from wherever the hell his wife was...
Carlisle and Esme Cullen flinched at the sudden and loud noises coming from upstairs as they looked up the ceiling with concern as the sound of glass shattering echoed through the tense home followed by more things breaking, it had finally happened... Jasper Hale finally broke...
"I want to go to him, he seems so-"... Esme softly spoke as Carlisle shook his head with a sad and concerned smile "Jasper isn't like Addison... He doesn't need parents to comfort him, he needs her and she's gone... There's nothing we can do... I'm so sorry dear"...
His pale hands gently squeezed her shoulders as his wife nodded dejectedly... "Addison always knew exactly what to say to him... To all of us... I miss her so much... I never realized how empty the home would be without her... I'd give anything to hear her and Renesmee breaking something from trying to learn ballet... I'd give anything to hear Emmett's loud voice and Addison's sweet laughter... I'd give anything to have her back... I want our daughter back Carlisle"...
✰✰✰
Renesmee Cullen was frozen like a statue in her place near the closed door as the honey-blonde finally calmed down from his tantrum storm... She carefully watched as he stood in the middle of the bedroom, venom welling in his golden eyes with sorrow...
"Uncle Jazz"... She whispered as if she spoke any louder it would further shatter him like the broken mirror he had shattered with just his hands... She could remember when her Auntie Addie shattered the same mirror after reading Jasper's letter...
"I wasn't calling her the monster"... His voice was a barely audible whisper as he stared down at his niece, "I wasn't calling her the monster when she brought up adopting... I'd never call her a monster"...
✰✰✰
"I was- I was talking about m-me"... Renesmee lightly gasped at his words... She never thought of her Uncle Jazz as a monster... Then again she knew nothing of her Uncle's past all she knew was from Addison's bedtime stories... He was a troubled soldier who carried the heavyweight of guilt... He was a troubled soldier who just needed love...
"T-That's not at all true- You're not a monster Uncle Jazz"...
"Oh yeah? How could I ever be a father to my own child when I wanted you dead? Addison ever tell you that in your bedtime stories? That's why we were fighting, that's when I took Alice's side"...
"What kinda sick monster wants to murder an unborn baby? You were only in the womb... If it wasn't for Addison and Rosalie's constant protection- I don't even want to know what I would have done"...
✰✰✰
"I'm the true monster in this fairytale... And I- I always w-will be"... Jasper suddenly fell to his knees with no noise coming from him which frightened Renesmee more... She didn't waste any more time as she rushed forward, falling to the floor alongside her Uncle Jazz, searching for a sign of tears, anger, anything but there was nothing... It was like he had shut down...
"Uncle Jazz? Uncle Jazz! Wake up! Do something?" Renesmee was beginning to panic and without thinking her tiny hand came up and slapped her uncle with as much strength as she could muster the noise echoing in the quiet bedroom...
Jasper's honey-blonde hair covered his eyes as he was quite literally slapped out of his daze, "what was that for?" his voice was higher than normal and filled to the brim with surprise as he stared at his niece, whose heart began to thump faster than normal...
"I- I'm s-sorry- b-but you kinda left there for a moment... A-And people always slap someone who's in shock in the movies- And I think it worked! You're back?"
✰✰✰
"L-Look Uncle Jazz, maybe I don't know much about the whole pregnancy situation- all I know are the bedtime stories Auntie Addie has told me about your love... It's like she said, it's- it's destiny- I- I know I'm just a kid and no one takes me seriously but I know my Auntie Addie, she's like a second mother"...
"N-Not the point- My point is you need each other. And you can't get her back if you're throwing a pity party- Sorry that was harsh- All of that was in the past, move on and show her that you're still her husband, show her that you only want her, no one else... This is a brand new chapter in your lives, right some wrongs and then move on"...
"Now come here and hug me, you desperately need a hug I can tell"... And like a light switch had been flicked off Renesmee's adult-like wisdom had quickly changed back into a child's as she tossed her arms around her Uncle's neck making him chuckle.
"And for the record, I think you'd make a great dad Uncle Jazz"...
✰✰✰
"I'm sorry but Addison have you lost your damn mind? Do you need me to find it for you? We're obviously coming with you wherever the hell you're planning on going now"... Leah Clearwater was livid as Addison Cullen rolled her golden eyes, placing the neatly folded clothes into her duffle bags... "Don't you dare roll your eyes at me!"
"Leah, calm down. I don't even know where I'm going this time- I mean I have kinda an idea of my plan but I have to do it alone- It's crucial that I do this alone- besides it's been four almost five months and I know that Seth and your mother are missing you. You need to go home"...
"I'll be fine Lee"... Addison sighed as she wrapped her arms around her friend's body, feeling the warmth radiating along with the concern and slight anger, like a burning fire... "I don't like this Addison... It's a stupid plan"... Addison chuckled as she pulled away, "it's all gonna be okay if Jasper ever finds me we'll need some time alone, deal with our issues"...
"B-But what about me?" Fred Cullen asked with a depressed expression on his face, making Addison turn to face the teenager with gentle eyes... "I've got it all figured out. I'm sending a note with you to give to Carlisle. You're family now and if anyone in that house tries to touch you or harm you, they'll deal with me. I've got your back honey. You're a Cullen now"...
✰✰✰
A/n~ Fred's officially a Cullen now! And officially Addison's and Jasper's child or teen idk?
