Theresa woke up to the sound of machines beeping.

"Jasper?" Theresa asked, her voice hoarse.

"He's out hunting sweetie" Esme said as she stood next to Theresa's hospital bed, holding her hand. "He wouldn't leave your side, but he couldn't be around people in a hospital without eating for a while so Carlisle finally convinced him to go hunting."

"What happened?"

"James crushed your hand" Esme said as Theresa lifted her hand, that was in a cast, in front of her to inspect it. "And then he bit you" Esme said as Theresa used her other hand to reach up and touch her neck where there was a bandage.

"But don't worry, Jasper got the venom out. So as of right now your still human" Esme said with a smile on her face.

"I don't think I'm human Esme" Theresa said as Esme smiled sadly, hating how she didn't have an answer to give the young girl on what she really was, "I know."

"He should've just let me change" Theresa said, causing Esme to raise an eyebrow, "Why?" Esme asked, not ever hearing of Theresa wanting to be like one of them before.

"You guys are my only family. I'm going to turn one day anyway" Theresa said as Esme pushed a strand of Theresa's hair behind her ear while smiling, "One day, but not today."

"Is Bella okay?" Theresa asked as Esme nodded. "She's okay, thanks to you. Just a broken leg and a bite mark."

"I'm sorry. I thought I could save her and keep you guys safe at the same time-" Theresa said, but was cut off by Esme, "There's nothing to be sorry for. You did save her. You did it. And we are all so proud of you" Esme said as she pushed a strand of hair out of Theresa's face and placed it behind her ear before speaking again, "I'll go get Carlisle and tell him that your awake. Hopefully we'll get you home soon."

Esme gave Theresa's shoulder a loving squeeze before leaving the room.

Theresa looked at her broken hand once more when she heard a voice come from the door way, causing her to look up.

"I told you not to do anything reckless" Jasper said as he leaned against the doorway, hands in his pockets.

"I think I started being reckless when I started running around with vampires" Theresa said as she laughed lightly before getting serious, "Thank you."

"For what?" Jasper asked her.

"Saving me" Theresa said, causing Jasper to laugh sarcastically, "I didn't save you, if anything I put you in more danger."

"Stop that Jasper Whitlock Hale. You saved my life." Jasper looked up at Theresa as she said his full name, knowing she was serious.

"One day," Jasper said, locking eyes with Theresa before continuing to speak, "One day that'll be your last name, I promise you that."

Theresa looked at Jasper in shock. She knew that they had something more than just some teenage romance, but they never talked about marriage. Yes, she just did talk to Esme about being one of them, but whether or not Jasper and her were together, she still loved the Cullens as if they were her blood related family. Theresa's eyes began to tear up as she attempted to get out of the hospital bed.

"Tess-" Jasper said as walked over to her side, trying to stop her from getting up, but was cut off by Theresa placing her lips on his.

The kiss was different than any other they have shared. Jasper could have lost her, he thought he did when Carlisle called him telling she was no where to be found. When he got the notification of her location, he swore that he never ran so fast in his life. He could never understand what drew him to her. She would say the same thing, but as an insecurity, while Jasper just genuinely couldn't understand why. He always thought that she was to perfect to be his mate. He was a monster and she, she was a princess. But when Jasper was able to stop himself from sucking her dry, he understood why. She was his lifeline, his happiness, everything that was good in his life she represented. He couldn't live without her. He knew that if she died, so would he. He put all of his emotions into this one single kiss, and although Theresa already knew it, this just reminded her, that Jasper and her were meant to be together, they were mates.

"Jasper?" Theresa asked, out of breath from the amazing kiss the two just shared, remembering what James had said to her.

"Yes?" Jasper asked, his forehead leaning against Theresa's.

"What's a Scarlet Witch?"
