To say that I was nervous was an understatement. Going back to Forks is something that I feel that I need to do. I need the closure that I am hoping this will bring me. I can tell the twins are worried about me; I don't even have to listen to their thoughts to know that they are troubled. I have called Johnny a few days ago to let him know about the move, and he said he would love to come down for a quick visit, and he said that he got a surprise for all of us.
Two years ago Johnny married a wonderful woman by the name of Lucille, we all call her Lucy. Since I am obviously not old enough to be Johnny's mother, Johnny told her about what me and the twins were. She was very sympathetic at first, because of the whole Edward situation. She told me that she would always have my back no matter what. I loved her like a daughter; she fit in perfectly to our little family. The twins were happy that they got to talk to someone else, even though they still spent most of their time working on that play, it has been over 20 years now, and they just tell me they are perfecting it. I asked them if Johnny was still in it, and they told me it was a surprise. They still contact him daily, we all have a really close bond, and nobody can break it.
I am always usually busy now; I hardly have any free time. I had to work extra hard at my typing job. I am glad that it's on the computer or I don't know how I would account for my age. They were always happy with my work though. I spent at least five to seven hours a day typing for them. The pay was always nice, and it gave me something to keep me busy. I am thinking that once I start school at Forks, I should get some extra typing done at lunch time so I have some free time, I have to keep up with these deadlines. I am always busy around the house doing something or another. Andrew and I would play little quoting games from different Shakespearian times. Tulip would join in at times too, but she found that she likes to do all of the reading on her own. Whenever Andrew would pass through my bedroom or the living room wherever I am he would always pop in with a quick quote, and then I would quote him back by the same author. They are incredibly smart, they act like they are ten thousand years old, but they really are just in their forties. I have heard some of their instrumental music and it was so beautiful, that if I could have cried I would have. You could say that they are both book nerds because; they always have their nose in a book wherever they go. We all pack around books wherever we go no matter if it is just for twenty minutes. When we went school shopping they both got really big backpacks just so they can fit their books in. I thought it was hilarious while they just scowled at me. "We need to be prepared", where their parting words as they broke two backpacks trying to fit large hardcover books in. I don't know why but they seemed to really enjoy reading sometimes more than me. I can see where the genes start to connect.
They both look alike but also different. Tulip has shining green eyes; I am assuming that these were the ones that Edward had while he was human. Andrew has my large chocolate brown eyes. While they both have Edwards bronze hair. Andrew looks so much like Edward sometimes that it's scary but even though they only have one picture of their father they don't like to bring him up. It is a simple fact that in my family all you need is to show love and you are in. I even had a small plaque made that says 'This is a family that can survive through anything as long as our bonds are not broken, and our love just shows how strong we really are'. This hangs on our front door, and has a small angel on the front of the carved wood.
Other than the fact that I have lived at Forks previously Tulip and Andrew seemed very excited to be moving to a new house, and a new town, and finally go to school. They show me this everyday by helping me pack my stuff so we get there faster. They wanted everything to be perfect. They managed to get everything in their rooms packed and into the moving van the day I told them we were going to move. I asked them if they liked it her and they told me they could not love it, it was just that we have lived here for so long, that they were ready for something new. I was excited to show them my old home, and visit Charlie and Sue's graves. They were both saddened to hear about the passing's of my dad and step-mother but they also helped console me. They just wanted me to be happy, and now that I know that they are together and in a better place.
With a lot of hard work from my job I managed to pay off the new house completely. I decided that I was going to keep this house for emergencies in case we need to go into hiding or something, we could just as easily drive back to our original home. We decided to copy all of our pictures because the twins and I both enjoy having them all around the house. We managed to take hundreds of pictures over the years. On the walls there really aren't any regular house paintings but tulip has taken up photography and Andrew has taken a knack for painting so, they will both decorate the new house. Tulip and Andrew told me that they loved the pregnancy photos. They said they were very sensual when it comes to birth of a new life. I was just happy they weren't embarrassed by it. So Andrew decided that he was going to do a full portrait of the family on our living room wall, and I happily agreed, I love all of his work. He told me his plan of making it a black and white photo Tulip has taken and going to paint it on the wall. Tulip told me that her picture collections are going all over the house in a organized and perfected way, she said that the main picture of me nude and two weeks pregnant was defiantly going on the wall in the dining room, with the collections of black and white along for a bordering modern room.
The new house was a large one, holding four bedrooms, and one master bedroom. I again, was taking the master room. We all have beds in our rooms for the twins sleeps about one to two hours every night, and I because it is just nice to snuggle with the twins every now and then while they sleep. It always came in handy when Johnny had his nightmares. I know most children resent their mothers or get angry easily, but when we have one of our small fights they are always still there for me, and I them. The size of the living room is still of one about the size of a football field, I was right when it came to our previous living room, it was needed for size. They had managed to break many things for the first few years of their lives before I got them to calm down. We could be considered the wild children from one point of view, but to a vampires view we would defiantly look odd. Andrew and tulip decided that they wanted to turn the new recreational room into their own theater stage. We have all taken dance courses at the Bellevue Community College for a couple of months a number of years ago, and the twins decided that they would rather learn on their own for their play so we all dress up and have our own little dances at the house because it is just something fun to do. Tulip and I restored some old 1950's dresses and suits for Andrew and Johnny. For men they really seem to enjoy dancing. All of us girls including Lucy got a good laugh at that. So now we are all headed back to Forks, Washington, I hope this goes well.
