Olivia stares at a very antique looking oil painting in fascination. Her eyebrows furrow as she stares at a familiar blonde figure. "Jaz?" She calls out.

Less than a second later Jasper stands at her side with an arm around her waist. "Yes, darling?"

"Is that Carlisle?" She questions, her voice full of confusion as she points towards the painting.

Jasper inspects the picture he, himself, had stared at many times before. "Yes it is."

"Who are those... men?" She turns to him. "This painting looks hundreds of years old and they're dressed like kings. I didn't know Carlisle was a kind, if he was then how has no one recognized him?"

Jasper lowly chuckles. "This was done hundreds of years ago and it's because they are like kings. Of our world anyways. Carlisle was not like them though." Before she can ask another question he begins to explain. "The Volturi are a very old and very powerful family."

"So they're like the Queen Elizabeth of your kind?" She tilts her head, trying to understand.

"Precisely." Jasper laughs to himself at her comparison but nods nonetheless. "They're what you might also call enforcers."

"Enforcers?" Olivia says to herself. "Of vampires? I didn't realize you guys had any rules."

Jasper swallows, though he physically had no need to, he felt like he did. "Only one."

Upon noticing his tense stature she places a hand on his forearm in hopes of some how comforting him. "What is it, Jaz?"

"To keep secret the existence of our kind." He looks into her eyes as he says this. Olivia's mouth props open and she gulps.

"So you could die?" She takes a step back, feeling slightly disgusted with herself at the thought of her being the cause of his death. "Because of me? Because my sister and I know?"

Jasper doesn't allow her the distance she tries to create and takes a step forward. "You don't understand that I'm only alive right now because of your existence, Olivia."

"What do you mean?" Olivia questions, trying to shake off all thoughts of Jasper dying.

"When Alice found me she propositioned me to come with her, to find the Cullens. I disagreed." He confesses.

"Why?" She scrunches her face up in disbelief. He had told her a summarized version of his past and how he came to be a vampire. But she didn't understand completely how she tied into this.

"I didn't want to live with myself after what I had done." He sighs as flashbacks fly through his mind. "But she convinced me that I had a mate that would be waiting for me some day. That would need me." He takes Olivia's hand and lands a chaste kiss on the top. "Enough of that, I believe everyone's waiting for us downstairs."

"Fashionably late as always." Edward says in mock annoyance as Olivia and Jasper make their way down the stairs.

Olivia and Bella share a look as they notice everything done all around the first floor. "This is too much." Olivia shakes her head, Bella nodding in agreement.

"Nonsense!" Alice chirps in as she fixes a slightly crooked flower in a bowl.

Both Carlisle and Esme make their way towards the girls, giving them both a warm hug. Though they politely give Olivia look before hand asking her if it's okay and she nods her head. They had done so much for the pair, giving them a hug is the least she could do.

"Sorry about this, we tried to rein Alice in." Carlisle apologizes, but doesn't really seem apologetic. If anything, he was happy his family got to experience something human like for once and feel more normal. It's been a long time since any of them found joy in something like a birthday.

"As if that's even possible." Esme rolls her eyes in amusement. "Happy birthday girls."

Just as Olivia steps back into Jaspers embrace a blinding light has her blinking to find her vision again. And another one pointed towards Edward and Bella.

Alice looks towards Bella with a wide smile. "I found it in your bag, hope you don't mind?"

Bella awkwardly shakes her head letting her know it was okay.

Olivia lowly groans and goes to hit her head on Jaspers chest. Though he gently holds her head back with his hand so she wouldn't end up hurting herself.

Emmett moves to Edward's side, nudging him. "Dating an older woman. Hot."

Everyone rolls their eyes at the giant man at the same time Rosalie shoves silver packages into Olivia and Bella's hands. "It's a necklace. Alice picked it out."

"How nice." Olivia drawls in dry humor.

Edward stifles a laugh at Rosalie's intensified glare and Olivia's unbothered shrug, he can no longer help it as she simply places the silver box behind her on the table.

Alice interrupts the small scene before Rosalie can raise hell as she grabs Bella's wrist and ushers Olivia to the table piled in wrapped gifts. "Now! Open your presents!"

Noticing the giant cake Bella hesitantly casts her eyes towards Alice once more. "Alice, I'm the only one who even eats cake. Olivia hates it and that thing could feed fifty."

Alice shrugs, clearly unbothered. "Hope you're hungry. Here, these are from Emmett"

Olivia allows Bella to open her's first. Her eyes glowing in humor as she sees the empty car radio box.

"Um... thanks?" Bella says, confusion lacing her tone.

Emmett proudly steps into the spotlight. "Already installed it in your truck. Finally, a decent sound system in that piece of-"

"No hating on the truck." She hisses with a small smile. "Thank you, Emmett."

"Now your turn little O." Emmett rubs his hands together in anticipation.

"Little O?" Olivia questions confusedly, he had never called her that before.

"You know?" He questions. "Little O, cause your name is Olivia."

She nods her head with pursed lips as Jasper lays his own in her neck trying to not show his laughter. But by the shaking of his body Olivia can tell and slightly nudges him with her elbow in warning, knowing if she did it any harder her elbow would bruise. "I guess I'm not the only one with bad taste in nicknames."

She slowly opens the package and raises a brow at the contents.

"Some boxing gloves, pepper spray, knuckle dusters... and a knife?" She repeatedly blinks as she tries to gather her thoughts.

"To beat any boy that tries to mess with you again!" He says excitedly, though his smile fades as he realizes how tense he had just made things.

"Emmett." Edward lowly growls in anger at his brother who sometimes never thought before he spoke. 

"It's okay." Olivia holds a hand up to halt Edward's movements towards the man. She sends him a tight smile. "Very thoughtful Emmett."

"Open mine!" Alice exclaims in attempt to clear the tense air. She hands both Olivia and Bella another box.

Once again Olivia watches as Bella starts to open hers first. She leans back into Jaspers chest in content, trying to get her mind off of Emmett's accidental reminder of the worst night of her life.

"Ouch." Bella mutters, staring at her finger. "Paper cut."

Olivia watches as the single drop falls to the floor and her eyes widen as the hands on her hip begin to tighten.

All Jasper could feel at the moment was everyone's immense blood thirst. He was still somewhat new at this diet but his control majorly improved once Olivia almost lost her life. Whenever she was around it was like the bloodlust went to the back of his mind. But now, not only was there blood directly in-front of him that wasn't his mates,  but everyone else's blood thirst shot up within a second. Leaving his whole mind fuzzy.

Snapping her eyes up she makes direct eye contact with Edward who's eyes slowly trailed down to Jaspers hands on her hip. Just as afraid as she was at the moment.

"Jasper-"

"Jaz-"
