Here's your look at Garden's ch. 26:
“And now…” he said taking another slow breath. “I’ve found friends, real friends who don’t want anything from me other than my company, a partner who is so much better than I deserve, and a woman who welcomed me into her family like a long lost son, and all I can do is feel like I’m betraying the memory of my family because I’m so close to being happy.” He was also really fucking scared he was going to lose them all, and be alone all over again.
“Oh, sweetheart,” Bella said softly. She shifted and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Don’t you think they’d want for you to be happy?”
“Yes,” he agreed. “But…”
“No buts, Jazzy,” Bella said, cutting him off. “Your parents loved you, I have no doubt about that. They would only have wanted you to be happy. You’re not replacing them, sweetheart. You’ll always have those memories. Now you just get to make new ones. You said Esme has welcomed you into the family, and I know she has. If there’s something you’d like to do, something from your family, all you have to do is mention it, and she’d find a way to make it work.”
Jasper shook his head. “She’s done so much already.”
“Don’t make me Emmett-smack you, Jasper Whitlock,” Bella threatened. “You know it makes her happy to do whatever she can for any of us.”
