10. Changing

By Thursday, everyone had already reached a decision. While everyone genuinely thought that they would be better off if they didn't have to worry about hunger any longer, only Edward turned down the offer temporarily. He wouldn't take the blood until he turned Bella, a couple of months from now. Friday was spent in anticipation until Saturday finally came.

Early morning, Clark woke up to find Emmet jumping on his bed and Carlisle trying to get him out of the room without seriously harming.

"Emmet I swear, if this discourages my mate from ever staying here again I'm going to maim you." Carlisle threatened, half serious.

"But dad needs to wake up already!" Emmet persisted.

Clark opened his eyes, "You're going last for waking me up at five thirty in the morning Emmet."

"What! No way, come on dad!" Emmet exclaimed worriedly.

Carlisle narrowed his eyes, "Break the bed and you're not going at all Emmet."

Emmet sighed dejectedly and got off the bed. "Ok, but dad needs to hurry up."

That was the name everyone had adapted to over the last week, while they called Carlisle father, they referred to Clark as dad. It had been mildly interesting to see the town's scandalous reaction when the relationship went public. They could all care less what mere humans thought about their fathers and sneered at those who decided to throw a bad comment about it. Charlie had been ok with the relationship itself but he was just as shocked to find out that these specific men were gay.

The reservation had already figured out that Clark and Carlisle were a couple by the way they were holding hand the day they met, but now they were sure of it. The elders had decided to not let Bella be turned and now the wolves were on edge. They knew that if Bella was turned, they would have to attack, but Clark would defend the Cullen's. They could barely handle the Cullen's and were sure to die if they faced Clark as well. Bella had begged them to reconsider but the answer was no and she couldn't tell them about how the Cullen's wouldn't so much as even kill an animal now because it was a secret for now. Clark did however tell her to set up a meeting at the border for Sunday which she did.

"I'm naked under here; now get your ass out before I accidentally lose you in space son!"

It was truly fulfilling for Clark to be able to call them sons and daughters since he figured it would be the closest he was ever going to get to having children. It came out naturally now and without a second thought and the kids he now loved, were only too eager to accept the love he had to give.

Sighing dejectedly once again, Emmet was out the door in seconds, hoping that maybe he would be forgiven and taken first.

"I'm sorry he woke you up, he…" Carlisle had gotten back to bed and was interrupted when Clark covered his mouth with his lips.

Clark didn't say a thing; he just got the lube from the nightstand, quickly took Carlisle's underwear off and coated his shaft. He then bent down to kiss his mate and slowly inserted his dick into him, knowing that he likes this, no matter how he does it. Clark then levitated into the air while pulling out and slamming back in. He sped his rhythm up, slamming into his mate harder and harder. Not caring that most vampires were in the house since they had already gotten used to hearing them.

Clark turned around in midair, just above the bed and let his mate ride him at whatever pace he wanted. Carlisle took control and used his maximum speed to ride Clark's dick. They weren't in a hurry, but there was much to do today and they both knew it.

Ten minutes later, Clark groaned as Carlisle's sphincter milked his dick. Carlisle was now cumming in torrents on Clark's chest and this triggered Clark's own orgasm.

After only five minutes, they showered together and prepared for the day ahead. When they were ready, they went down to meet the family, with the exception of Edward and Bella who wouldn't be taking part of any of it.

"I'm gonna to get something to eat real quickly, then I'll be ready everyone." He said while walking to the kitchen. When he arrived a second later he saw a full breakfast already on the table while everyone sat around it silence. He only rolled his eyes at them and went to sit down slowly, doing everything at human speed.

"Oh come on daddy!" Alice begged.

No one knew who would be first but they were all hoping it would be them.

"Alice, let your dad eat in peace, he's going to have a long day today and tomorrow," Carlisle reprimanded.

Clark was nodding goofily while eating his meal under four pairs of scrutinizing eyes. Even Jasper was anxious to get things going since he wanted to experience everything that he had been told. When he started eating even slower than human pace, Rosalie's patience snapped and she actually begged, which was something she never, ever did.

"Dad would you please hurry up, you're doing this on purpose," Rosalie begged; or her version of begging anyway. She hadn't even bothered actually calling him dad until now.

Clark grinned at them and threw his hands up in the air, "Alright, alright, you caught me." He said and then finished his food, five seconds later.

"Get outside, I need to prepare you first," The four vampires quickly exited and waited for them outside.

"Ok pay extremely close attention to me or the trip can and will turn deadly for you, is that understood?" Clark told them seriously while he and his mate walked towards them. "There will be rules you have to follow without exceptions; first one is; if I tell you to do something, you do it. Now will any of you be uncomfortable being near me? Say so now if you are because this is vitally important."

Rosalie raised her hand to ask, "How near?"

Clark nodded and replied, "I will be show you a demonstration of how you will be holding me with your father and then you decide." He shrugged off his coat and levitated into the air. He then put himself at a horizontal angle and faced down while Carlisle clung himself beneath him tightly. When he was wrapped around tightly and securely, Clark put his hand on Carlisle's back, "Like this; it's true that this looks like a compromising position, but we haven't told you is that we will be traveling at above light speed. You will have to hold on to my body with your entire vampire strength while I use one hand to secure you as well. You will also have to keep your head against my chest at all times, after I start traveling at light speed. It is essential for your own safety that you follow all of this, because although you are vampires, you are still very much breakable whether you like it or not. You can also very easily slip off suddenly if you let go of me or get distracted with looking at your surroundings. Now can you all do this?"

He got serious nods from the four of them, "Ok now, each one of you go ahead and get on me exactly like your father just did because I don't want to take a chances," One by one they all gained their dad's approval until Emmet's turn arrived, "Emmet, I thought you nodded when I asked if you were ok with being this close to me?"

Emmet had been trying to keep their midsections apart when he had climbed up, since they were both big men and it felt uncomfortable. "But you're a dude." He said as an explanation.

Rosalie shouted at her mate after hearing that, "Emmet, stop being stupid and just do it damn it!"

"But Rose he's a…" Emmet started but was interrupted by his dad as he felt his arms being untangled and then saw his dad set him on the ground.

"Ok Emmet, you're not going, I'm not risking your life out there simply because you're not ok with me being a dude. So you can stay here and…" Clark was telling him seriously, with no hint of joking as he usually was. Emmet noticed he was serious immediately and panicked at the thought of not going and interrupted Clark if he could finish.

"No, no, no wait!" he exclaimed worriedly, "I can do this, I was just playing around, it's no big deal really."

Clark raised his eyebrow at him, "Playing around is what I told you not to do up there Emmet, how am I supposed to trust that you won't play around up there when you see something you like?"

"I won't do anything dad, please just give me another chance, I'll behave and not even say a single word through the whole trip, please!" Emmet begged.

"Would you gamble his life like this Rosalie?" Clark asked her.

She looked seriously at her mate, weighing her options. On one hand, she knew that he really wanted to go no matter what, but she also knew that he was easily distracted and liked to goof off, even in the most serious of situations.

"Come on Rosie, tell him I can go!" he begged her for permission too.

"Emmet, you won't only be gambling your life, but mine as well because I can't live without you. So if you die out there, then I'm as good as dead too." She told her mate seriously while looking into his eyes intensely.

Emmet's eyes grew wide then narrowed into slits. He ran towards his mate quickly and kissed her passionately then pulled back, "I'll be safe, I promise you Rosie. I won't do anything stupid and risk your life, ever." He told her just as intensely.

"Ok Emmet, let's try this again." Clark told him.

They did try it once more and Emmet let go of his inhibitions and did exactly as he was told, even though he felt his and his father's junk touching. It was odd to see two big men such as them in that position but no one dared laugh at them.

"Ok everyone, next lesson will be getting past the ozone layer. I have to do this every time I take Carlisle through it so look closely. I will pull you apart from me like this then cover us with freezing cold wind. All you will do is stay absolutely still as I move you around for about two seconds." He said while demonstrating exactly how it would be done, on Carlisle.

"Any questions about that?" When he didn't get any he continued, "Ok, after this, there will be a short while where I will be only going at supersonic speed. You may look around space during this time; down at earth or the moon if it's near, but when I tell you get ready, you will get into the position we practiced immediately. I will let you know when we arrive at the galaxy after about two hours and then I will tell you when you may look around again. Planet Carlisle does not have an ozone layer so we will fly right into it. Now Carlisle will tell you the rules you will follow on his planet.

Carlisle smiled at his mate and went over to kiss him on the cheek. It turned him on to see this side of him so much but he quickly banished those thoughts and got back to the matter at hand. "Okay first off, let me tell you that I will be going first for the reason that I will need to be there with you every time each one drinks from your animal. Clark will leave me there and return to get someone else and then you will be returned at a five hour mark. Then the second person second one will be taken for another five hours. The third however, will get to be there however long Clark decides to sleep. You will be brought back then the last one finally will be taken and brought. I will be staying with him until later in the day when he's done after that. I'll get to how we will choose who goes when in a minute. Now while there, please don't even think about hurting another animal other than the one that sacrifices itself for you. You can go exploring or have Clark take you on a quick trip around the world but try your best to not destroy anything. The tree where you will be arriving is particularly very important so there will be no touching it at any time please, the planet might get angry and you don't want that. You are to even respect the ground you step on because it's just as important. Is there any questions about anything before Clark and I leave?"

"Yes, can we bring souvenirs back?" Alice asked, hopeful.

"We will decide what you can bring back while there Alice. Now this little box has your names in it already so Clark will pick them out since no gifts work on him." Carlisle said.

"Yes! I get a fair chance at this!" Emmet exclaimed.

"Well I think I should pick them," Alice huffed.

Jasper chuckled at her wife, rather glad that he would be getting a fair chance at going third too.

Clark pulled a paper out, "Rosalie," She smiled at going first even though everyone wanted to go third. "Alice," She sighed dejectedly at getting the crappiest number, "and Emmet, sorry Jasper." Emmet whooped at his luck, extremely loud.

"It's alright dad, I'm the one who feels sorry for you." Jasper said with a chuckle.

"Right, well then, I'll be back soon so be ready to go in about four hours, give or take Rosalie."

Clark managed to get to and back from Planet Carlisle in less time, because it wasn't hard to keep his mate safe and going back alone made things even faster.

He arrived at the Cullen house to see Emmet and Rosalie waiting for him, "Stay safe Rosie." Emmet told her seriously.

Rosalie rolled her eyes at her mate, "You're the one I'm worried about Emmet." She told him and quickly kissed him goodbye.

Rosalie had been enjoying the feeling of flying through the air at supersonic speed since it was the first time that she had done it. She was also in awe when she saw the earth just below her; amazed by the beauty of it from here.

She had been staring at it in wonder all the while, watching it get further and further away. "Ok, time to get ready Rosalie." Clark told her.

She immediately got beneath Clark's coat and wrapped herself around him like they had practiced. When Clark made sure that she was secure he proceeded to speed up gradually until reaching light speed. She was curious about some of the things they were passing by that she could actually catch a glimpse of, but she decided it was best to stay quiet and follow what she had been told. She could feel the incredible speed they were traveling in and she didn't dare risk anything.

Rosalie didn't even notice that they had arrived until Clark suddenly slowed down drastically, "Ok you can let get now and look around."

Rosalie immediately responded to the suggesting by disentangling herself from her dad and commenting dryly, "Well you weren't kidding about the safety."

She took a sharp intake a breath even though there was no air to breath when she looked around and saw an even more beautiful planet than earth. Just next to it was another giant one but it was insignificant compared to the one up ahead. "Welcome to a new galaxy, my daughter." Clark said while smiling at her reaction.

When they entered Planet Carlisle's atmosphere, Rosalie was once again speechless at everything she was now seeing. It was night out on this side of the planet right now so all the forest was glowing with life. She could even see some of the animals glowing with life when they got farther down. "This would be the night life of course, beautiful isn't it?"

Rosalie thought that beautiful didn't cover it but it would have to do for now, "Yeah…" she said in a voice that was filled with awe.

She didn't say anything else as Clark flew to their destination, trying to take as much of the scene in. "If you look down below just up ahead, you will see where your father is waiting, again I remind you to not touch the tree and be careful with anything, even the ground."

"I will, I promise." She responded seriously.

When they got there, she saw her father sitting down in front of the tree. His eyes were closed in concentration as the ground glowed green all around and the tree glowed a bright violet-pink. He let go of the string-like branch and turned around to look at them as soon as they touched the ground.

"Welcome Rosalie, Planet Carlisle welcomes you my daughter. Behind me is Aiwa, it is sentient as you already know and I was just talking to her just now." Carlisle explained with a serene smile.

"I-I thank you for letting me come here," she stuttered out honestly.

Carlisle nodded at her and continued, "Now, first things first, let's go get you well fed and then you can explore with the rest of your time." He then turned to his mate, "Clark, Aiwa suggested that we get her one of the horse look alkies. I have to agree that the animal fits her personality quite well."

"If you're sure my love," Clark said after quickly going to hug him.

"Yes, now let's get going," Carlisle responded after a quick affectionate kiss.

Each one got on either side of Clark and held on while Clark took off towards the spot where he already knew, the two horses were waiting. When they arrived, Rosalie looked at the horses with admiration. They looked regal and beautiful just standing there at their full height. One of them turned to caress the others neck with his head affectionately and then the other stepped forward with its head held high. They both bowed down to Carlisle when the one walking reached them and then she tilted her head to the side.

Carlisle nodded at the horse then turned away, with pain written all over his face. Rosalie noticed this and had to ask, "Are you sure Carlisle? I don't have to do this," She said, not only because of her father but because watching the horses depart was hard for her too. She tried to get the image of Emmet sacrificing her like that out of her head but she couldn't. She could only imagine how hard it was for both horses to do this.

Carlisle nodded at his daughter and looked at her right in the eyes, "She wants you to do this, make it quick and painless please."

She did as she was told, not bothering to savior the best blood she had ever had for the sake of ending it quickly. After the deed was done, she walked up to the male horse and caressed his head and neck. A flying white creature came and died on the female as well, just like with Carlisle.

When everything was done, Carlisle told her that she could go explore alone or have Clark take her anywhere. She opted to choose, going off alone and exploring the wilderness for now. "Ok, I'll be listening to you so call me if you need something or want to go somewhere else." Clark told her.

Rosalie nodded and quickly left with her new found speed. It was interesting to see the difference one single animal made and she would never forget what had just been given to her just now. Along with her improved vampire abilities, she could detect something else; something extra, but she couldn't figure out what it was so she let it go for now.

She spent the rest of her time looking at every detail, from small animals that flew by her with tops that resembled helicopters, to giant leaves that were far stronger and more resilient than they should be. She also came across a giant animal that looked to be a cross between an elephant and a rhino with a weird shaped forehead. She smiled when saw it, immediately knowing that this would be her mate's chosen animal.

When her time came to an end, she quickly said a goodbye to her father and got on Clark. She hoped that she would get to come here again, but for a far longer time.

When they arrived back home, they were met once again by the entire Cullen family, including Edward and Bella. Emmet ran up and grabbed her when he saw her now beautiful blue eyes, "Your eyes!" he shouted and kissed her immediately.

When they broke off, seconds later, she was attacked by Alice, "Tell me everything! What did you see!"

Rosalie rolled her eyes at her, "Go see it yourself Alice, your next aren't you?" she told her simply. "You won't believe it even when you're seeing it though, I'll tell you that much."

"Oh! This is going to be so much fun!" Alice she squealed and quickly went to go give her mate a hug and a kiss to her mate one second and was hanging off of Clark the other.

Clark sighed at his daughter while everyone else laughed at the scene. "Alice, you better follow the rules like I told you." He warned.

Rosalie quickly agreed, "He's telling the truth Alice, the speed is too much for us to handle if you don't; that goes for you too Emmet."

"Yes, yes, rules; now hurry up and whisk me away daddy!" She exclaimed, not any less excited than before.

Clark shook his head at her but smiled, "Would one of you mind making me food for when I come back please?" He asked to no one in particular. He didn't wait for a response because he knew that they would be happy to do that simple request for him.

Clark was surprised that Alice had not actually done anything to break the rules during the trip to Planet Carlisle; he wasn't surprised however, when she was practically jumping on him in joy when they reached it. He would just answer her questions as best he could when Alice asked something, which was very, very often.

When they arrived at the tree of Aiwa, Carlisle was simply waiting for them on the ground patiently. The same pleasantries were exchanges like with Rosalie, except this time, he commented on why Alice would be getting one of the giant blue monkeys they had seen in the forest.

"The planet and I believe that these creatures might possibly evolve within time into humanlike beings, but we are willing to let you have one since they are not unlike all the other animals yet." Carlisle simply said.

Alice actually stopped looking around and gave Carlisle a surprised face, "That sounds pretty serious Carlisle, can't I just feed on any other animal?"

Carlisle shook his head, "I take everything in my planet seriously Alice, this is something that we agreed on doing because we want you to get blood from something similar to your personalities. The monkey we speak of is very agile, intelligent, playful and naturally peaceful all at once." He finished.

"That about sums you up, but its missing evil." Clark chuckled at his daughter.

Alice hesitantly nodded in acceptance at her now hugging parents in front of her. "What will the other be feeding on?" she asked curiously.

"Well I'll let you know what Rosalie and I took but you will have to wait and let the others tell you about theirs. I drank from a black panther like creature with six legs. It is naturally calm and peaceful until he or his family is threatened. He becomes quite literally the most ferocious of the animals in this world and could probably take a normal vampire on in battle. That is why it tripled everything in me and not only doubled it as you all. You will get some of the animals characteristics got what I can tell as well though. Rosalie for example, got a horse like creature; it's a beautiful and regal like creature that is always alert of its surrounding. As if that didn't already classify Rosalie, it also senses when danger is near and is naturally fast when it wants to be. We experimented somewhat on that and she is able to reach three times the normal vampire speed, and she also seems to be more alert at all times. We think it's a special gift that was already in her but we don't know how it works yet." Carlisle finished explaining.

"Can you at least tell me what Jasper will get, pretty please?" Alice begged.

"He will actually get the most interesting creature of them all and be able to do something that he will enjoy very much, but I won't tell you any more than that. Now let's get going or would you like to waste more of your time here talking?" Carlisle asked with a raised eyebrow.

Alice pouted but quickly answered, "No."

The scene again began and ended similarly with the blue monkeys offering their mate and mother to the vampire. Alice felt guilty about it and almost didn't want to do it but accepted what Carlisle told her as reassurance.

When they were finished, Alice did indeed notice immediate differences. One of them being that her visions where heightened to the point where she could see what Jasper will be doing step for step for days within just a couple of seconds. The visions seemed to be more based on actual events and not probabilities as well since she could see him making decisions on certain things. She could even see the werewolves clearly now, but not Clark and Carlisle which didn't really surprise her at all. She knew that her father was being protected by the whole planet now so she couldn't expect to get past that, and her dad was just something that she just didn't bother to try and figure out anymore. She explained everything to her parents quickly as she figured it out herself.

"You must be limited to beings of earth and Planet Carlisle now that you have this blood," Clark explained when she voiced everything that was happening within her.

"Yes, I think so too, but this is already more than I had ever imagined possible. I can actually see around you, you both just happen to be the only human shaped blank I can't see anywhere I look. I can see how your decisions affect everyone else but I can tell that you can change those decisions at any time. It's all playing like several different movies, but I can still concentrate on everything that's happening currently or stop them all together." Alice explained more.

"I'm sure this will come in handy Alice and you can tell us more if you'd like, or you can go explore some of the planet with the remainder of your time." Carlisle offered.

"I'll go look at the forest for now then dad can pick me up, two hours from now so he can take me to a floating mountain where Jasper's animal is. He's going to absolutely love it, I've seen it!" She said and quickly gave her parents a quick hug and kiss on the cheek.

When the five hour mark hit, Alice was already deep in love with the entire planet, even though she had only seen a very small part of it. She had seen and touched the exact animal that her mate would drink from too. She even had Clark take her on a quick tour around the planet for her last hour and spent it in silence, just watching everything.

When they returned to the Cullen residence, the family was yet again outside waiting for them. Edward immediately gasped loudly when he saw what Alice's visions where now like. "Alice! Your visions!"

Alice rolled her eyes at her brother while going straight for her mate. "I know, cool huh?"

"Amazing!" Edward answered.

"What happened to your visions darling?" Jasper asked curiously.

"Well a lot of things really, but all good, mainly I can see clear futures that are not decision based, and I can also control them completely without even breaking my present focus." Alice explained to everyone.

"That is amazing love; I do wonder what it will do to our gifts as well." Jasper said thoughtfully.

"Well Rosalie got an extra sense of danger, sort of like Victoria but a lot more refined and effective. Carlisle got well… a planet, and I will let everyone else wonder about everything else, as revenge for leaving me hanging when I got punished the other day." She told them with an indignant huff and sped indoors immediately. "You too my treacherous mate; it's a shame since you will absolutely love what you will be able to do." She called out from inside.

Jasper ran inside after her quickly after hearing that, "But darling, I thought we were past that." he begged.

Clark meanwhile just chuckled and Edward was trying to get any possible information from Alice's mind unsuccessfully. "So that's what that is." Rosalie commented thoughtfully, now that she finally knew what that extra feeling was.

"I'm going to go eat, and then we can go Emmet." Clark said finally, while Emmet got extremely excited.

When they got in, Clark saw a table full of all sorts of foods and rolled his eyes. "I told you to make me food, not to try and solve human starvation."

Rosalie smiled at her dad, "Emmet and Jasper have been anxious for you to get here so they thought they should busy themselves in the meantime." She explained.

"A turkey, really?" Clark asked Jasper who was now there, with a raised eyebrow.

"Well it is for Bella too," he responded timidly.

"Come on Bella, you will have to eat your half of the table." Clark said after sitting down at the head of the table.

"But," she stared worriedly at him with sacred eyes.

"He's only kidding Bella, just eat whatever you want." Edward chuckled.

When Clark finished eating under Emmet's impatient gaze he got up. Emmet immediately got up too and ran outside. Clark chuckled at his son, "I need a human moment Emmet, so you will have to wait just a little longer."

When Clark finally came out of the house, showered and feeling refreshed, he was attacked by Emmet who jumped on him. They were all outside once again and laughed at how Emmet looked hanging from Clark, bridal style. "I'm ready!" he exclaimed.

"Emmet you better behave and remember what I told you!" Rosalie warned.

"Yes Rosie, I don't care anymore, see?" Emmet said and quickly gave Clark a big sloppy kiss on the cheek.

Clark cringed from the display while others just laughed, "Come on, you know you liked it, now let's go!"

With one final sigh, Clark chose to ignore him, "I'll see you tomorrow everyone, so wish me luck."

Everything went well for this trip as well with the exception of a brief moment where Emmet decided to tease Clark, "You know your body feels kind of nice."

Clark squirmed and didn't say anything, and just continued to fly at supersonic speed, away from earth. It didn't matter if Emmet was playing or not, hearing that from someone other than his mate made him feel awkward.

The sun was setting down on Planet Carlisle and Emmet could barely contain his excitement. He had even thought to ask his dad if he could ride on his back like Alice and Jasper did weeks ago. When he received a positive response he excitedly climbed to get a better view and was amazed at everything. He looked up into the sky to see the giant planet next to this one looks beautiful right now, along with the other smaller ones. Looking ahead he saw the water they were passing, clashing beautifully onto the rocks and then the forest up ahead. When they reached the floating mountains, he almost jumped off in excitement but Clark quickly shouted at him threateningly. He breathed deeply, now understanding what Carlisle meant by saying that even the air felt alive. By the time they arrived where Carlisle was waiting, Emmet was itching to get off and go explore.

Carlisle of course welcomed his sons as he did his daughters. He soon got to the point of which animal Emmet would be drinking from, "These animals are very territorial and they are also the strongest living creatures on my planet. They actually like to fight but won't hurt anyone unless they feel threatened. Let's go to them, they are something you need to see rather than have it be explained to you." Carlisle told him and went to his mate's side quickly.

When Clark set them down, he saw Emmet looking at the creatures in awe and wonder. They truly were really big and there were five of them. He couldn't tell the difference between them but he figured it was all a family. When Carlisle confirmed his suspicions, he bit his lips and looked away from them. He didn't think he would have an audience to his killing so it made things harder to deal with. "We have all done this in this way Emmet. All three of us drank from our creatures while their mates or kids watched. It's not an easy thing to do at all but they are willingly giving themselves and it is their decision too so I respect that." Carlisle explained while they all watched the slightly bigger one of the pack unfolded the front of his forehead into a beautiful arc.

"That's so cool," Emmet said softly, staring at the powerful looking creature intently.

The creature quickly reached their position and bowed down to Carlisle, then tilted its now neck, exposing his tough looking skin.

Emmet hesitated but proceeded after reassurances from both his parents. It was quite hard for him to sink his teeth through the impossibly hard skin. He tried biting it a couple of times until it finally cracked, while the animal took it all in silence and the others just watched. When he reached the vain, he quickly started to suck the blood out and made the act as quickly as possible.

When the dying ritual finished as Carlisle now called it; not unlike a human funeral, they left Emmet on his own so he could go explore. Before they left he excitedly told them about the incredible strength he felt, but they only smiled at him and told him not to go trying anything. "You can test out your new strength with me before we leave, so don't go destroying anything or you will be punished." Clark told him.

"Ok dad!" He nodded excitedly at him and left quickly to see new things. While exploring, he unknowingly went in the direction where his parents were currently making love He heard them talking at first and went in their direction to ask his dad to take him to the mountains but when he got there, he saw that the area was glowing bright green and the tree he wasn't supposed to touch was glowing violet-pink. The scene intrigued him more when he noticed that his parents were making love on the ground and didn't even notice him there. Normally he would have never disrespected anyone like that, contrary to what anyone might think but this was different for him. He would even dare call the whole scene beautiful which is a word a man like him just didn't use for anything short of his mate. He watched on as his parents made love without a care in the world, while their surroundings seemed to be palpitating with life. He was even vaguely curious about why Clark was the one taking it this time since he had never heard that happening at his house. He quickly let the direction of those thoughts go and left as quietly as possible before either of them noticed him, if they hadn't already.

Clark woke up to find his mate was still on top of him, with his head on his chest. "Ready for another long day, Kal?"

"It's all worth it when you think about it so it's not bad at all when you consider the benefits," Clark explained honestly.

"Your right; can't blame me for worrying about you though," Carlisle explained as well.

Clark chuckled, "Of course not, I expected it really."

"I'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted," Carlisle added jokingly.

"Always flattered my love, now where is that troublesome son of ours?"

Carlisle shrugged, getting up from his place and starting to dress, "Don't know, he's been out of my hearing range for the last two hours and I don't want to ask Aiwa about something as silly as that."

Clark nodded, agreeing with him, "He went across the ocean to see what was on the other side. He's actually riding on one of elephant-like animals right now."

Carlisle shook his head but smiled, "That does sound like him."

"Alright my love, I'll be back with Jasper very soon, try not to get too bored until then," Clark told his mate.

"Aiwa and I have been having many interesting conversations, so you don't have to worry about that." He assured him with a smile and a kiss. "Keep our children safe as always Kal, and get some breakfast over there."

Clark stole a quick, passionate kiss and nodded at him. Without another word he took off to get his son and take him home. When he found him, he didn't even give him enough time to react; he just picked Emmet off of the animal and took him into the air. "Whoa where are we going dad?"

"Home, Emmet."

"But you promised I would get to test out my strength to see how much it improved." Emmet whined.

Clark had hoped he had forgotten about that so he sighed, "Ok Emmet, you get one punch at full strength, and we will also arm wrestle to see how much strength you have more accurately."

Emmet readily agreed to this and they soon descended on open lands. "Are you sure I won't hurt you though?"

Clark smiled but rolled his eyes, "I think we both know that you won't Emmet."

"Right, just thought I should make sure."

Not waiting any longer, Emmet used his full strength to throw a punch at his dad. The result was a loud resounding sound that echoed all around them. Clark however, didn't flinch; nor did he have a single scratch on him when Emmet took his hand away. Emmet stared at him wide eyed; not understanding how someone could take a punch like that like it was nothing.

"Emmet are you really that surprised? Come on, be surprised later, let's arm wrestle now."

"No it's not that completely, I just feel like I don't know…" Emmet frowned. "I mean I don't know how you can take a punch like that but there's something else." He tried to explain.

Clark was genuinely curious now, "Do you feel it all the time?"

"No, I only felt it when I threw a punch at you dad." Emmet explained. "My left hand wanted to join in but I stopped myself since you only said one punch."

Clark smirked, having an idea of what it was from what his son was telling him. "Ok then, try and fight me."

Emmet rolled his eyes, "You're just gonna win dad."

"Just do it Emmet, here let me give you a little push." Clark told him and pushed him away roughly, trying to anger him.

Emmet got the hint and went towards him and let instinct take over. He punched Clark but felt it get blocked so he maneuvered himself to the side to kick his abdomen but it was stopped as well. He narrowed his eyes and tried harder, sending kicks and punches at his dad, switching between several different fighting styles and combining them into his own, unknowingly.

Clark was smiling at how he knew that he was only able to stop Emmet because of his enhance speed and strength. He could tell that his combat techniques would be superior to his own if he lowered himself down to Emmet's level. He watched Emmet dance around him for a few seconds more, until he decided it was enough experimentation. "Okay, that's enough Emmet." He told him, and then grabbed the next two fists that were aimed at him in an unbreakable hold. "It's impressive Emmet, and I can see how you would complement Rosalie's gift in every way. Let's move on to arm wrestling so we can test your strength accurately."

Emmet nodded quietly, finally accepting that his dad was someone he might never understand entirely. He had tried his hardest to give him a good fight, but didn't even succeed on landing a single punch or kick.

"You would have beaten me in combat if I was at your level Emmet. It really is just as lethal as Rosalie's gift so you should be proud of it." Clark complimented seriously.

Emmet immediately cheered up after the compliment and nodded towards his dad. They then went to arm wrestle on a rock nearby, or rather Emmet put all the pressure he could on his arm while Clark just stood and calculated how much strength was being put on his arm.

When his dads arm didn't so much as budge, Emmet gave up and told him that, that was his full strength. Clark nodded in acceptance, "That felt about four, maybe four and a half times the strength of a normal vampire. You also seem to have tougher skin to reinforce the strength you now have. If I'm right, then your skin probably won't sparkle anymore once we come across sunlight like Carlisle." Clark said thoughtfully.

Emmet cheered up after hearing all of that even more, and was now anxious to test Clark's theory.

When Emmet finally came into contact with the earth's sun in space, the theory was confirmed. He not only had enhanced strength, tougher skin and a combating gift, but he could even mingle among humans at any time. Especially now that he wouldn't want to drink them either.

Jasper was more anxious than he had ever felt at the moment. His wife didn't want to tell him anything about what would happen no matter what he tried or promised her. All she said was that he would completely love the experience more than any of them, even her. That of course only got him more anxious as he waited for his dad to arrive and take him. It was now early morning and he sat, awaiting for the moment to arrive.

"You should probably make dad breakfast; I see a blank spot visiting soon. Hmm I wonder if it's in a couple of minutes or hours." Alice told him nonchalantly. "Seconds maybe?"

Jasper just glared at her, knowing more than anyone that she was actually enjoying watching him like then. He just went into the kitchen without a word and started cooking up a storm while he waited impatiently. Rosalie had tried to come in and help him but he quickly hissed and told her that he would do it. She laughed and threw her hands up, "Whatever." She said while still laughing at him.

"I'm going to get you one of these days for this Alice," he muttered darkly.

"No you won't, you'll thank me and love me for it; I've seen it!" she said to him, now leaning over the counter, staring at him with a smile.

In truth, it wasn't that she was trying to be mean. Instead, she wanted for her mate to get the full impact of what was to come. Should she decide to tell him and change the future as only she or her parents could do now, Jasper wouldn't be surprised when he learned about what he could now do. Not to mention that he wouldn't struggle with his bloodlust anymore as an added bonus.

"Dad will be here soon," She announced to him when he was almost finished.

He sped up what he was doing drastically in an almost nervous way. Alice had to admit that a small part of her actually enjoyed watching her husband like this and she was sure he felt it.

Only minutes had passed when Jasper heard the district sound that he now knew as his dad. He sped towards the outdoors, where Clark had already landed with Emmet. Rosalie and Alice had beaten him with their new speed of course.

"Rosie! You will never believe it! I'm like way stronger and my skin is tougher, it doesn't even sparkle in the sun! I can totally beat you in a fight too!" He exclaimed excitedly while now twirling his mate in the air.

"Yeah, yeah, would you like something to eat dad?" Jasper said rather impatiently.

Alice giggled at her mate quietly. She knew that he was trying to get on Clark's good side by calling him dad; which had didn't do often.

Clark chuckled knowing this as well, "Of course son, I'll try and hurry up."

Edward arrived while he was eating breakfast and greeting him. After exchanging pleasantries Edward actually narrowed his eyes and Clark thought it was being directed at him. "Emmet! Why would you do such a thing!" Edward shouted at his brother who was outside showing off to Rosalie.

Everyone quickly gathered in the dining room when Clark shouted, "Emmet, get in here!"

"But I didn't even do anything!" Emmet defended worriedly, knowing that he had followed all the rules.

"You actually stayed and watched our parents making love Emmet!" Emmet growled at him.

Several things happened at once; Clark snapped the table in front of him in two after angrily closing his fist and shattering a piece with one fist and putting too much pressure with the other one. Gasps of surprise could also be heard from the other three vampires after hearing the news. Rosalie even went as far as getting right in front of Emmet and slapping him.

Just a second had passed when Clark shot up angrily, not caring that he had just broken the entire table. "Emmet! How could you disrespect your father like that! Do you have no sense of decency!" Clark shouted loudly as Emmet cringed away, truly scared now.

"I-I didn't mean to dad," he got out desperately.

"How much did you see Emmet?" Clark shouted.

"I- Most of it." Emmet told him hoping that honesty would get him out of this one safe and sound. It's not like I was being perverted, I only stayed because it was beautiful, Emmet thought.

Edward frowned at his genuine thoughts. Clark noticed this and demanded to know what he was thinking. "He was thinking that he only stayed and watched because he thought it was beautiful and not because he was being perverted."

"It's true! I had just never seen something like that; it looked like everything was responding to you two." Emmet quickly added, in hopes that he was believed.

Clark stared at him for longer then closed his eyes and took a quick intake of breath. "I understand your curiosity Emmet, but to stay and actually watch for a while is something you just don't do. I'll let it go this time only because your right about what was happening around us, but if you ever do it again at any point in time, I'm really gonna punish you in some way that you won't like. I won't allow anyone to disrespect Carlisle in any way, shape or form." Clark finished firmly.

"I'm so sorry dad, I didn't think…" Emmet was cut off.

"Your right you didn't think; you might not be punish him dad but I will, don't worry about that." Rosalie said while still glaring at her mate.

This was an issue that no one in the family had to ever worry about. No one in the family had ever disrespected another by doing that with the exception of maybe Edward and Alice. They however always tried their best to avoid seeing such things at all costs, so it wasn't the same.

After everyone settled down Clark looked down and sighed, "Sorry, I'll fix it or something."

"No, Emmet will go buy a new one and do everything else, you need to get going soon because Jasper is going to explode if he waits any longer." Edward told his dad.

"Yeah I'll do it, don't worry about a thing," Emmet said immediately, hoping to get on his dad's good side again soon.

Clark just nodded, "Ok, Jasper I'll be quick, so you can wait for me outside."

"Wait, there's more food in the kitchen, you didn't finish so go ahead and take your time, I understand." Jasper said honestly.

Clark smiled warmly at him and nodded. It took him only three minutes to eat, and take a shower since some food had spilled on him. He quickly exited, took Jasper in his arms and flew away.

When they arrived in space, just outside of earth Jasper, like the others, was amazed at the scenery. He more than anything thought how amazing Clark was for being able to do any of this. "I feel sorry for the Volturi you know."

Clark smiled, knowing where this was going but decided to play along, "Oh? And why is that?"

"Well I was just thinking about everything that you can do and how there's so much more that you haven't even told us. I know you would do anything for Carlisle and I also know that the Volturi will eventually try and get to us, so they will just be bringing death upon themselves when they come." Jasper stated knowingly but was surprised by what he heard next.

"You're wrong about some things Jasper. I wouldn't be doing it for Carlisle only but for you all as well. I have come to love you all as my actual children and really would do anything for you all as well. Carlisle is a major part of my life there's no doubt about that, but you complete the rest. Of course I would get mad if you did something to disrespect my Carlisle, but I would never actually hurt any of you." Clark finished.

"I figured most of that but it's good to know you actually see us all as a family since I don't know what you're feeling."

Clark smiled, "Ok, now get ready son."

When they arrived on the planet, Jasper reacted just like everyone did. His usual stoic, careful expression was replaced with awe and wonder at what he was seeing. When they reached the area with the floating mountains, he was amazed and immediately asked, "Can you take me to those to explore afterwards?"

Clark actually laughed at his question which Jasper found odd, "You will spend plenty of time there and anywhere you want, don't worry."

Arriving at the spot where Carlisle still waited, Jasper could actually see what his brother was trying to say. It was still dark out and Carlisle was speaking with Aiwa so everything around him was brimming with life. Jasper could only imagine how it would react to them making love, but would never actually wonder out loud.

Carlisle knew his mate had arrived so he disconnected through the mental tunnel and turned around. "I trust you didn't kill Emmet when you found out Kal?" he said with a serene smile.

Clark gave him a smug smile and walked up to kiss him, after setting Jasper down. "It didn't go that far, I only broke the table I promise. Guess Aiwa told you huh?"

Carlisle nodded, "Far better than I expected." He said then turned to Jasper who was now bending down and touching the green roots gently.

Next to Edward, Jasper had always been the most curious of the vampires. Always wanting to learn new things and taking knowledge about anything as it came. "Are they alive?" he asked, not bothering to look up.

"Yes, they can move and actually connect you to the planet, but only if Aiwa chooses to."

"This is amazing Carlisle."

"Everything here usually is," he confirmed with a smile. "Welcome to Planet Carlisle son."

Jasper got up quickly and smiled, "Thank you."

"Now I know you will follow all the rules so I won't remind you of any. Did the others tell you about me picking a specific animal for them?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes, Alice told me you would pick an animal that will fit my personality; she said she even saw the specific animal I would drink from. She wouldn't tell me how it resembles me though."

Carlisle nodded, "This creature is different from all the others, it is quite ferocious if it doesn't like you, and it doesn't let anyone get close enough unless they trust them. It is quite agile and intelligent when moving through familiar territory. As it just happens to be, they are familiar with the entire sky." He stopped to let that sink in.

Jasper got wide eyed, "It can fly?"

Clark nodded, "And you will too."

Jasper gasped as everything came together. He was speechless at the possibility of actually being able to fly. His mind was thinking a million different things until he snapped out of it when he got anxious again. "Can we go now? I mean there's no hurry or anything." He added, not entirely meaning it.

"Of course Jasper, come and grab a hold of your dad." Carlisle told him and Jasper was there after using his full speed.

When they got near, Jasper came to the realization of what Clark meant earlier. "They live in the floating mountains."

"Yes, it seems to suit them don't you think?" Carlisle responded.

Jasper gave an affirmative and then noticed a lot of giant birds gathered on top of one of the floating mountains. There was about ten of them, all seemingly waiting for them.

When they touched the ground, Jasper just stared at the birds with wild excitement but then his face turned into curiosity. "Why are they all here?" he asked his parents.

"They are your chosen creature's children." Carlisle explained.

"Children? Then where…" He was cut off by the sound of something large flying towards them. He figured his parents had already heard it long ago but whatever it was, it sounded big.

Seconds later, a truly giant red bird came into view. Jasper was taken aback by its size, beauty and its overall presence. "I, but…"

Carlisle and Clark both smiled at their son, "Intimidating isn't it?" Clark asked knowing that the word was commonly used when referred to Jasper.

Jasper realized what he meant immediately and turned to smile at them. "Do his children have to be here?" Jasper asked, hoping he would get a no.

"Yes, they are offering their father to you, so they want to see that you won't be taking his life for granted, and will cherish what you are being given. Everyone else went through similar situations with the ones they drank." Carlisle explained while the giant bird walked over to them and bowed his head. It tilted its neck like all the animals did without a sound.

Jasper quickly took note of all the creatures children and stepped up to do the deed. When he was done drinking every last drop, he pulled back and caressed the body's neck sadly. The same white little creature came and died on the head of the now carcass. The children then bowed to Carlisle and left without a sound.

Jasper turned to look at his parents and nodded sadly, "I can feel pain, acceptance and pride coming off of the children."

Carlisle nodded, "We thought that might happen, Jasper I'm sorry." He said sadly. "Try experimenting on me to see the changes, Clark and I already agreed to do this."

Jasper hesitantly nodded and tried to see what he could now do with his empathy. He found out that he had complete control over others emotions, enough to possibly even make some of them permanent on others. He could also shut down his gift on command and choose to turn it on when he wanted to. He also tried extending happiness around him and found that it actually reached about five miles from where he was standing. He was more relieved than anything at not having to feel others emotions unless he wanted to.

When he explained all of this to his parents, they smiled at him brightly, knowing that their son would get a much needed break from other people's feelings. "We know that there must be a lot more than you can do by how Alice reacted. Now on to the flying son!" Clark exclaimed, excited for his son.

Jasper looked at Clark quickly with a surprised look. He had forgotten about that part and had focused on the empathy. He quickly tried jumping high up into the air using his new vampire strength only to fall back down gently. When he got near the ground Carlisle helped him, "You need to use your will to command it Jasper. Just tell yourself to go up now."

Jasper did as his father instructed and willed himself up, which caused him to shoot straight up into the air with no sign of stopping. Clark was immediately there when he saw Jasper panicking and grabbed him midair.

"Should have waited for instructions huh?" Clark chuckled.

"Yeah…" Jasper responded sheepishly.

"Ok, now I would explain it to you but I want Carlisle to since he has better information on your type of flying." Clark said and quickly took them both to where his mate was still standing.

"He's right, it's a lot different since as you just saw, since you will be using the power of will to fly. You need to command yourself with your mind to make every turn, twist, dive, and everything else that involves moving in the air, like speed. So try willing yourself to just float in the air and nothing more for now." Carlisle explained.

Jasper did as he was instructed immediately and got it right. He actually laughed in happiness at what he was doing. This caused his parents to share a private grin at the rare display of emotions their son was showing them. "Ok, now try twisting in a circle with your mind and not your body." Carlisle commanded.

Jasper did it easily and took it a step further doing a backflip and then flying around in circles. "Ok son, looks like you can control it now, so try flying somewhere else and see what else you can do."

Jasper didn't have to be told twice, he shot up further into the sky while laughing happily. He dived into the ground and took sharp turns to avoid things and even twirled around just for fun.

"OK Jasper, seems like you have control of it now, would you like us to stay with you or do you want to go explore things alone?" Clark shouted out, knowing Jasper could hear him.

A few seconds later Jasper landed in front of them and did the most unexpected thing. He actually went up to Carlisle and hugged him, which Carlisle immediately responded to. He then proceeded to hug Clark as well which was also welcomed with open arms. He pulled away and stood in front of them, "Thank you, I don't think there's anything I can do to repay you." He said full of emotion, knowing how much this had changed his entire existence in a positive way.

"Seeing you this happy is more than we could ever ask in return, now go enjoy yourself. Don't worry about going too far, I'm sure Clark can find you anywhere."

"Yeah, I have pictures to take so I want to see as much as possible!" Jasper said, taking out the digital camera he had thought to bring.

"I still can't believe no one thought to bring one," Clark chuckled.

Jasper shrugged with a smile, "I had more time to think of things I wanted to do and Alice happened to hint that it would be nice if you could buy cameras in Planet Carlisle, since they would work just fine here." Jasper laughed at the memory.

"Of course she did," Carlisle laughed too. "Now go on and enjoy your time son."

Jasper nodded and flew off into the sky.

When the five hour mark was up, Jasper was already on his way back to where his parents were at full speed. He actually managed to reach near supersonic speeds while flying. His enhanced mind is what helped him go beyond what a mere human with limited thinking could accomplish. He had even managed to perfect the art of flying in such a short amount of time.

He heard Clark join him at his side, matching the speed he was going in. "So did you have fun son?"

"Yeah dad, got most of it on camera!" Jasper responded in a childlike manner.

"I'm glad; Bella will definitely enjoy seeing them. Let's get home though; we still have the wolves to meet tonight." Clark responded with a smile.

"Ok," Jasper said a little sad but he knew that it had to come to an end.

Clark grabbed Jasper midair and took them out into space at actual supersonic speed. The rest of the trip was quick and short, like the others before him. When they got past the ozone layer, Clark quickly pushed Jasper away from him after stopping midair.

Jasper was confused and a little offended that he would push him off like that. "You can fly now son, try and keep up!" Clark told him with a grin and a wiggle of his eyebrows.

Jasper quickly understood what he was doing and grinned back happily at his dad.

Once again everyone was waiting for them to arrive outside to see what changes Jasper had gone through. Bella was there too since she had been promised pictures and she was anxious to see what all the fuzz was about. She was really surprised when she saw Clark land alone, only to see Jasper land on his own as well.

"You can fly?" Bella exclaimed.

"Not nearly as fast as my dad, but yes." He grinned happily at her. He quickly went over to his mate and kissed her happily.

"Well I'd like to stay but I have a mate to go get so I'll see you in five more hours." Clark said and took off at supersonic speed, then actually sped up to light speed right before them.

Jasper looked surprised by how fast Clark left, "I wonder how long it takes him to get there on his own." He wondered aloud.

"Less than one hour, but I think he can actually do better, but just doesn't for some reason." Alice commented thoughtfully.

"Damn, dad sure is one hell of a badass." Emmet commented, knowing what he said was true just by his strength alone.

"So anyway, you're not mad at me anymore Jasper?" She asked with the most innocent eyes.

"For now, but just remember I can turn you into a depressed little thing at any time." He threatened happily.

Alice narrowed her eyes, "You wouldn't even think to dare." She said, certain that she was right.

"So what happened to your gift Jasper?" Edward asked.

"Let's go inside, I'm sure Bella doesn't want to be standing around," Jasper commented like the gentlemen he was.

When they all gathered in the living room he started, "The most important thing to me is that I can turn it off now. Then there's other things like being able to put emotions on others and making them actually stick to them, making them permanent I believe. I can also extend emotions more than five miles in all directions, probably more if I let myself go. I can also make a direct connection with anyone physically and more or less control them by controlling every emotion in them. I can also just tune out specific people and still be able to feel the ones I choose. With the exception of dad of course, but that's not unexpected as all of you very well know." Jasper finished.

The last part got vigorous nods from everyone but Bella who still only heard what incredible things Clark was capable of but could not see most of it firsthand.

Jasper got up and went towards Bella, not afraid to get too close anymore, seeing as thirst would never be an issue now. "Here you go Bella, I brought pictures and videos."

Bella excitedly took the camera and started looking through them with Edward, starting with the pictures. Edward had seen most of what they had seen in his siblings' minds but he was just as amazed as Bella to see the planet like this. Bella kept gasping at the beauty of it all and was amazed to see the animals that were in them. "Will I ever be able to see this myself?" she asked Edward with hope filled eyes.

"Come August, after you marry me my sweet Bella." He answered sweetly.

She nodded in acceptance and continued to look at the pictures carefully. While she was doing that, the others kept talking among themselves.

"So does father know what I did now?" Emmet asked with a scared look.

Jasper nodded at him and laughed, "That was the first thing out of his mouth when we arrived actually. He asked dad how bad he had gotten mad at you and when he said that he only broke the table, Carlisle said that he had been expecting much worse. He even looked a little disappointed that nothing else happened."

Emmet got scared at the news he was hearing and didn't know what to think. He was now thinking of ways he could make it up to them, but he couldn't think of anything that he could do.

"How do you think the blood will affect my gift?" Edward asked them suddenly.

Jasper looked thoughtful, "If its anything like our gifts, it will give you complete control over telepathy. Probably allowing you to shut it off, read people's minds, memories and probably talk to people too among other things I'm sure."

They all nodded in agreement. Bella was wondering about herself as well, "What about me?" she asked them.

"We don't know what your gift is exactly so I doubt anyone could take a guess; except for Alice who I'm sure already knows. She probably won't tell you though," Jasper finished and narrowed his eyes at her playfully.

"He's right, it's so much more fun when it's a surprise, isn't it Jasper?" Alice asked happily.

Jasper actually laughed loudly at the memory and startled them all except Edward, who saw the event unfold in his mind. It was a rare and almost unheard of thing to hear and Edward most of all was amazed to see how much his brother changed in just hours.

"You were right sugar; it was a lot more fun that way." Jasper conceded. "So, anything new happening with the wolves?" he asked, trying to get the subject off of him.
