I Waited A Lifetime to Have You In My Arms

Harry beamed when he saw Jasper Monday at school. As always Jasper was waiting for them in the parking lot. He was even more pleased when Jasper greeted him with a soft, gentle, and light kiss. He couldn't be happier and he was sure that it showed.

"Good mornin', darlin' are you feeling better today?" Jasper asked him.

"I am now." Harry told him.

Jasper chuckled at him and ran fingers through Harry's hair.

Harry sat eating his lunch. He had more food today plus his applesauce.

Bella's voice reached his ears as Edward gratefully sucked on a Blood Pop next to her as they stood talking to Jessica at her table. Her voice carried around the lunch room.

"Harry can't be anorexic if he's eating, Jessica, you should stop saying that." Bella stated.

"Did I say anorexic?" Jessica laughed and quickly recovered.. "I messed up. I meant to say he is bulimic. You know he forces himself to puke up everything he eats."

Harry stared down at the table and tears pooled in his eyes again but he fought them back. He glanced up at Jasper and felt better instantly. Jasper smiled at him and took his hand. He held it and kissed the back of it.

"Harry doesn't do that, Jessica." Edward's voice reached them. "That is not one of his medical conditions. He's very sick...."

"Why does everyone insist on feeding his twisted messed-up thinking?" Jessica wondered.

"What do you mean?" Bella wondered.

"A girl calling herself a boy, of course." Jessica scoffed. "It is clear that Harry is a girl and yet she insists on being called a girl. What a freak!"

Harry flinched at the word.

"Harry is very much male." Edward frowned. "I was over tutoring Draco last week and Harry was getting a check-up his shirt was off and...."

"Flat-chested werido." Jessica scoffed rolling her eyes. "Who does she think she's fooling? "

"I don't think Harry's a freak for believing that he is a girl in a male body." Bella spoke up. "I had a friend in Phoenix who was like that."

Harry hated Jessica and could tell that no one at their table liked at her. Rosalie was clearly furious.

Jasper watched Harry working out on the exercise machine. Severus had explained the magical modifications to the machine and he was now helping Harry study as he worked out. When it was clear that Harry had had his limit he picked him up and carried him to his room and set him on the bed. He gently kissed his Harry's lips.

"Take it easy, Darlin'." Jasper told him gently. "Come now relax with me."

He was happy when Harry smiled at him and snuggled into his side. He held him close as they sat on the bed. He kissed the top of Harry's head with love in his eyes. Harry smiled up at him and he could feel the love and contentment rolling off of his mate.

It didn't take long for Harry to fall asleep.

"I love you, Harry Potter." Jasper told him as the teen rested against him. "One day when you are ready, I will tell you to your face."

"Mmmm...." Harry hummed in his sleep and snuggled closer.

Harry woke feeling refreshed. He was still snuggled into Jasper's side and Jasper was reading a book.

"Jasper?" He asked blinking up at him tiredly.

"Yes?" Jasper asked smiling down at him.

Harry smiled at him, sat up, and kissed him. He was so happy when Jasper kissed him back. They broke apart.

"Thank you for staying with me." He said.

"Always. I will always be with you." Jasper told him and kissed him again.

They kept kissing off and on while snuggling together. That was until a squeal interrupted them. They looked to see Teddy come running in the room with Winky behind him. Teddy ran to the bed and pulled on the sheet staring up at them with a pitiful look on his face.

Harry was soon snuggling him and kissing him making him giggle happily. He heard Jasper chuckle at him as Teddy squealed in delight.

"You would be a great father." Jasper finally said to him. "I am sorry that I can not sire a child with you."

"You can." Harry told him. "There's a potion that you can take that will help with that if you think that it will be a problem. You've been alive over a hundred years almost two hundred, right?" Jasper nodded. "Yeah, we'll have to use a potion but don't worry we can have our own children when the time comes."

"I need you to tell Rosalie and Emmett about this potion." Jasper answered.

Harry swore that he would and they kissed again until Teddy demanded their attention.

He never wanted Jasper to leave his side. He knew that he was in love already and was shocked by how accepting he was that he'd fallen so easily and so quickly. He was happy and that seemed to satisfy everyone around him.

It didn't stop Jessica from telling everyone in town that Harry had been hospitalized for anorexia and was getting treatment for his bulimia. She was also telling everyone that he was a girl who thought that he was a guy. The town had started whispering to each other whenever they saw him. It depressed him and he wanted to move somewhere else. But Jasper's family was here and he didn't want to take Jasper away from his family. He somehow knew that Jasper would come with him if he asked.

It got to the point where he was only happy at the house with Jasper and Teddy. Well, the others made him happy too.

Harry had nicknamed Bella, Bland Bella, and hated her. Everyone but Edward and Alice seemed to hate her.

Harry was about to drop out but he wanted to talk to Severus, Andromeda, Billy, Carlisle, and Esme about it. They were the adults in his life after all. Jasper was with him when he sat down with them on March 1st.

"Uhm......I'm thinking of dropping out of school and homeschooling and wanted your opinion." Harry told them.

So they'd discussed it. They supported his choice because they understood why he wanted to do it. His reasons behind it. They decided that the next day would be his last day at school.

Jessica seemed to think that she'd won something when she heard that he wouldn't be coming back to school anymore. She spread it around that he was being hospitalized again for his eating disorders.

Harry tried to not let it get to him and stayed at Jasper's side all day long which helped a bit.

It was after school and he was chatting happily with Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet by their car when Alice suddenly gasped and Luna grabbed his hand.

Edward tensed then was gone. As they watched a van lost control on the ice and started spinning towards Bella. She slipped and fell only then did she notice the van speeding towards her. Edward made it there just in time and stopped the van from hitting her.

"Our house now." Draco ordered. "I'm calling a meeting."

No one argued with him.

Harry wasn't included in the meeting. Well, he'd opted out of it really. Teddy was down for a nap so he was working out trying to master walking again. He was making better progress than he should be according to Severus and Andromeda. He could hear everyone yelling at Edward who was loudly trying to defend his actions. Harry was with everyone else. If Bella figured out about the Cullens being vampires then she was likely going to figure out what they were too if Edward didn't blab and straight out tell her.

When Harry was done with his workout he contacted the Ministry and let them know that he needed them to put some Information Restriction Spell on some Vampires and some people from the Reservation. He explained the situation and his worry about Edward telling Bella. They agreed to help him out and swore to send a few people within one business day. With that, Harry drove his chair into the living room.

"I solved the magical part of this problem!" He stated and everyone looked at him. "Everyone just be here by five tomorrow and the magical part of this problem is solved. It will be painless for everyone involved. It cannot work for the vampire portion of the problem because if she figures it out on her own the spell will be moot."

"What if she figures out that you are magic?" Edward challenged.

"She won't." Harry said shaking his head. "I'm going to ensure it. Don't worry it won't hurt her but she will never figure out that we are magic."

Edward did not look pleased.

"She is my soulmate!" he snapped getting in Harry's face. "She deserves to know every aspect of my life just like Jasper and you!"

"She's not your soulmate!" Harry snapped back. "Luna is never wrong! Bella is your singer and nothing else!" he shook his head. "This is our secret to tell not yours! It is illegal for us to tell her what we are! Just as it is illegal for her to know what you are! I will not be punished because you are confused and thinking with your fangs and cock!" he glared at him. "As of right now, 'I, Harry Potter-Black, Lord of the Most Ancient and Noble Houses of Potter and Black, do hereby recent my invitation to you! You are no longer allowed in this house or on this property! So that I have said it! So mote it be!"

Edward suddenly vanished from the house.
