Chapter 10 - Visions
Neither side moved for what seemed like an eternity then they all snapped into action at the same time. Jasper and his big burly brother Emmett stepped up to Edwards side all three vampires showed a glimpse of sharp white teeth to the two wolves in warning.
Already the desire to phase was almost overwhelming to both Jacob and Embry and growls were percolating up from their broad chests as tremors ran down their muscular arms
"I think everyone needs to calm down and now" Carlisle hissed low as he stepped between the two sides a pale hand held out towards each party "We have as much right as you Jacob Black to be in this airport"
"The dead don't have any rights" Jacob growled in reply. Carlisle shook his head but said nothing. Now was not the time for pettiness.
"This is not Forks or La Push wolf and you have no jurisdiction here" Edward sneered "The treaty doesn't extend this far so why don't you get your flea bitten hides out of my sight you contaminate the air" Jacob stepped closer but Embry pulled him back
"Don't rise to the bait Jake" he murmured softly "Believe you me I would love to fight but not now and not here" he glanced around at some of the other passengers who watched with worried expressions
"Listen to your friend Alpha" Carlisle began "He talk's sense" His eyes looked around him and Jacob followed his lead. Embry was right they were surrounded by passengers rushing to collect luggage and leave. Some were taking far too much notice of their little gathering and he also noticed two security guards who had taken an unhealthy interest in them too and were heading their way. Jacob took a deep breath he needed to get away from the source of the stench before his wolf who was going ballistic forced a phase and that would never do.
"My family and I will leave now" Carlisle jutted a jaw towards his sons "And I suggest you do the same" Jake managed to nod in return and watched as the Cullen's moved towards the exit. How he would love to torch them all someday
"In your dreams Black" Edward chortled before the exit doors closed behind him and his family. Incensed with fury Jake and Embry grabbed their stuff and made their way to get a cab.
"How freaky was that?" Embry began "I mean what the fuck are they doing in New York?"
"I don't fucking care Embry" Jacob glowered in return "As long as they are not all in Forks I'm happy as a clam" he took a deep settling breath "Do you think that slimy creep Edward Cullen has finally grown bored with working in Forks general Hospital?" Jakes voice sounded hopeful "I can't fucking understand why he wants to be there of all places or be a doctor in the first place" he rubbed a huge hand across his face
"Maybe he just wants to emulate his father Jake" Embry sighed he was lost in thought too but he wasn't as hopeful as Jacob that Edward would leave "The hospital think highly of him, he's the best obstetrician they have after all he's an Ivy leaf graduate he could work anywhere."
"Then why the fuck doesn't he do just that? Jacob snapped "It doesn't make any sense Embry what's he waiting for? Something tells me Edward Cullen has bigger fish to fry and I mean to find out" Embry rolled his eyes in response there was nothing further to add not when Jake was so riled up.
Once outside they flagged a cab and headed to a hotel. Tomorrow morning Jacob was gonna go see Bella but tonight they needed to find Central Park the wolves needed to run…

Bella pulled up the hood of her carry on rain coat. God bless the Pacific North West she smiled to herself it never seemed to stop raining here she'd be surprised if most of the inhabitants didn't have webbed feet as a result. She walked along keeping up with the other passengers her hood was so big it hung down over her eyes and she didn't want to stumble and fall.
The bright lights of the arrivals hall made her screw her eyes up for a few moments but it was a relief to be away from the wind and rain outside. Bella pulled her hood down scanning the hall for carousel two. A few moments later she was pulling her small suitcase towards the pickup point
"Bella!" A loud voice boomed "Bella over here" The voice belonged to Charlie who was waving frantically in her direction. Bella beamed a smile at him waving from behind the throng of passengers making their way to their own loved ones and the exit. Suddenly the people in front of her parted like a wave and there stood Charlie in full uniform hand resting on his gun belt…no wonder the crowd had moved she smiled to herself and she found herself swept up into a warm embrace
"Bells honey" Charlie murmured in her ear "It's so good to see you kiddo" Bella just hugged Charlie hard her eyes squeezed shut as she breathed in the scents of her childhood Old Spice and peppermint. God she so needed to be held it had been so long.
"It's good to see you too Dad" she managed to squeak her voice thick with emotion. Never good with emotion's himself Charlie quickly let her go and took a step back his moustache twitched as he scanned his daughters face.
"Good flight Bells?" he asked noting how pale and tired she looked.
"Yeah Dad" Bella replied "I slept for most of it" A tear was threatening to spill. Damn those pregnancy hormones she scolded herself. Charlie stood motionless for a moment. To him his daughter looked the same as she did last time they met up but the huge coat she was wearing hid any of the signs he was looking for. To be honest he was still getting his head around the fact his baby was having a baby of her own. Where had time gone? He swallowed down the impulse to cuddle her again, keep her safe.
"Come on" he murmured taking the handle of her wheeled suitcase and wrapping an arm around her shoulder "I've got the cruiser parked right outside being a cop has some perks"
Shortly after they were both strapped into their seats and Charlie manoeuvred the cruiser towards the exit joining the already long queue. The movement of the window wipers moving slowly backward and forward was the only sound in the car. Bella smiled to herself comfortable with the silence. She'd got that from Charlie too.
The sign for Forks had just popped up when Bella woke up and she rubbed at her tired eyes. Charlie glanced in her direction concern on his face
"You okay Kiddo?" he asked "You fell asleep just before we left the airport". Bella smiled a little at her Dad then yawned.
"Yeah it's the baby" she sighed "He's moving around a lot and I'm getting a lot more tired these days, getting bigger I suppose"
"He?" Charlie replied a smile stretching across his lips "I'm getting a grandson? Hey I can take him fishing he'll love that"
"Slow down Dad" Bella laughed "It'll be a while before he can hold a rod." Charlie nodded as the wind screen wipers picked up speed there was a storm coming in from the Pacific luckily they were only a few miles from home.
"Maybe you should let Tiffany Call take a look at you whilst you're here she's the best midwife in Forks." Charlie murmured. He'd be a lot happier if she did Bella needed the best care.
"Tiffany Call?" Bella repeated the name. She knew it and it sounded familiar but she couldn't quite remember… Charlie saw the little frown upon her forehead and smiled
"You must remember Tiffany you used to stay with her when you came to me for holidays and I had to go to the station on emergencies" he was nodding at her to emphasise his words "You used to play with her son Embry, make mud pies" Realisation dawned on her pretty features and Charlie laughed at the look on her face. How the hell young Embry had got her to play with mud he'll never know given how OCC she was about dirt.
"Yes I remember her now we used to bake cupcakes together" Bella laughed avoiding further discussion about mud urggh she thought "And sometimes Leah would join us". Charlie nodded
"Yes back then Tiffany used to make a small living from child minding. It kept her and Embry clothed and fed that's for sure. Once her boy was old enough she went back to nursing and a grateful Sue Clearwater took her on at the Tribal clinic. Those Quileute's like to keep things in the family so to speak. He hesitated for moment then continued to speak "The Elders were a pretty upset when she left them to work in Forks hospital but what do you do when they head hunt you and offer more money?
Bella nodded then as child hood memories flooded her mind she asked "I'm sure there was someone else too? A friend of Embry's who insisted we make mud pies and sell them" Charlie laughed out loud
"Now that would have been young Jacob Black" The laughter died on his lips and he frowned a little "He gave me a run for my money I can tell you. During his teenage years he and his running mate another young hooligan by the name of Paul Lahote got up to all kinds of mischief. Hauled them in a few times and they just missed out on juvenile by the skin of their teeth given the fact the Elders managed to persuade the owner of the stolen car not to press charges after one particular antic went wrong. It belonged to a girlfriend apparently who said they could take it…yeah right"
He fell silent for a moment as some bad memories washed over him then mumbled "Lord help anyone who had a daughter involved with either of them I'd shoot them both" His moustache twitched and the small vein in his fore head throbbed a sure sign Charlie was agitated. The cruiser fell silent again as father and daughter watched the rain hit the windshield.
Bella took note of her father's reaction, she wouldn't mention Jacob Black again he had obviously changed from the young boy she once knew. But then she remembered his father had been a child hood friend of Charlies no wonder he was annoyed with Jacob that must have been tough being a cop and arresting one of your best friends kids…She decided to change tack
"So how's Harry and Billy these days Dad still owning the Rez?" Charlie's moustache twitched again in response and Bella hoped she hadn't inadvertently said something wrong maybe mentioning Jacob and then his Dad had hit a raw nerve with her father.
"Harry is doing fine but Billy's not the man he used to be Bells" Charlie's voice sounded both wistful and sad. Bella waited she knew Charlie was not finished. "After his wife Sarah died well he didn't look after himself as well as he should and well we sort of fell out a bit" He stared out at the road ahead deep down he was angry at Billy for letting himself go but he also understood the pain Sarah's death had caused his old friend. Trouble was whilst he was mourning his two daughters up and left unable to cope with his grief leaving a young Jacob to roam free with no direction.
"He has Diabetes Bella real bad too he's …" he swallowed hard "Well he's confined to a wheelchair now and on meds for the rest of his life" Silence enveloped the cruiser once more as both Charlie and Bella digested what he had shared
"I'm sorry to hear that" Bella almost whispered. Charlie reached across and grabbed her hand giving it a little squeeze
"Hey it's alright Bells sometimes life can be cruel but Billy could have helped himself not let it get this far" he smiled a little as she returned his smile "Look let's not get so down on your first night here so what do you say I order pizza in?"
"Sounds good Dad" Bella replied she felt relieved not to be talking about Billy. She had a kind caring soul and it saddened her to think of the strong man of her childhood memories unable to move without assistance. Part of her wondered what had happened to Jake too now that he was all grown.
"Still like the veggie version?" Charlie asked his eyes still fixed on the road ahead
"Yeah still veggie Dad" Bella laughed in reply

Jacob stood under the hot steamy shower the water cascading off his firm body as he leant against the tiled wall. He was dog tired after the run through the park with Embry but it had soothed their wolves to be let loose especially after the encounter with the Cullen's at the airport. He shook his head scattering droplets of water against the Perspex shower door. What the fuck were they all doing in New York? It always made him nervous when the Cullen's were all together. Plotting he was sure they were plotting. He didn't trust any of them… fucking bloodsuckers.
He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a huge fluffy white towel around his waist. Wiping away the steam form the mirror he looked at the two dark brown eyes that stared mournfully back his hand drifting to his chest where the dull ache throbbed. It was getting worse he conceded the pull to Bella was getting worse. He took a deep steadying breath before running hot water to shave.
Embry was laying on one of the large beds when Jake entered the room. He opened one eye to survey his Alpha "I'm hoping there's enough hot water left you've been in their age's man making yourself pretty" Jacob growled a little in return dropping the towel to the floor
"There's loads Em it's a damn hotel not the Rez" Embry sat up in response obviously Jake was still in a bad mood.
"Jeez I'm just trying to lighten the atmosphere a tad Jake. I was hoping your long shower would relax you a little" Embry sighed unfortunately Jacob was still would up tighter than a steel spring "Maybe" he ventured "Once you see Bella tomorrow your wolf will settle" Jacob simply shrugged his shoulders. He really hoped so too but something in the pit of his stomach just wouldn't settle…he had a bad feeling…
"What's the time?" he ground out pulling on a pair of cut-offs as he spoke. Embry flicked the TV remote and checked the screen
"Two in the morning why?" Embry asked
"I'm desperate to see her "Jacob replied "But I can't go now she'll be sleeping." Embry nodded then Jacob managed a smile
"What you say to some room service?" He asked "I could eat a horse"

Edward sat clicking through his patient's notes on his lap top alone in his room when there was a soft tap at the door
"Come in Alice what took you so long?" he stood and turned to greet his favourite sister who was practically dancing in the doorway with her excitement. Edward frowned then pinched the bridge of his nose, a habit left over from his human existence as the breath he didn't need to take hissed out "Really Alice you never give up do you?"
"That mind reading ability of yours can be so annoying sometimes Edward" she retorted "I wanted to surprise you and I can't believe you managed to get past my rendition of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and in French too" Edward laughed shaking his head slightly
"You are just so excited to give me your news Alice it was just bubbling below the surface. All I got was pieces but it was enough to put it all together" he stopped laughing and sighed "I wish you would stop with the match making"
"Who said I'm match making?" she tried to look innocent but failed miserably she could never lie to her favourite brother "Match makers have a list of potentials lined up I don't because I just know there's one special girl for you" Edward rolled his eyes all the same. Alice moved towards him and grabbed both his hands in hers
"I've seen her Edward" she cooed as his eyes snapped to hers " I've seen her meet you and fall in love" She nodded at the last sentence as if to endorse her words as her brother held her gaze his own eyes reflecting a little hope "She's beautiful Edward"
"When did you have this vision Alice?" he asked he was intrigued but he also knew her visions were subjective they could change on the whim of those whose futures she claimed to see.
"When I was in Italy" she replied "But I wanted to tell you in person"
"But you've been gone for months" he gasped "When do you expect us to meet and where?" There was a twinkle in his eye he was playing along and Alice knew he was too.
"If you don't believe I won't share" she pouted
"Then don't" he replied but he was merely teasing as soon as the smile dropped from Alice's lips he added with a sigh "Go on I'm all ears"
"I saw her at the beginning of my trip Jasper was there at that time he can tell you" Alice was excited again and babbling. Edward nodded in response
"So what was that three months ago? He asked. Alice smiled and nodded "Anything since?" The smile vanished from her rosebud lips.
"The visions are still coming." she began "But they are incomplete it's like there's some sort of interference, I've never experienced anything like it before until…" She stopped a look of horror on her face
"What's wrong Alice? Edward pulled his little sister close into an embrace "What's upsetting you?" Then he hissed loudly as he clearly saw the image in Alice's mind
"The shifters at the airport" she whispered "I couldn't see anything with them so close" She looked up into Edwards eyes "I think they may have something to do with your intended Edward but I just can't see the connection" She sighed loudly frustrated that her gift kept failing her where Edwards true love was concerned "Just give me time though …give me time"
"Are you still so sure we will meet in Forks Alice?" He sounded frustrated and pinched the bridge of his nose again closing his eyes "I would never have taken that offer from Forks otherwise, you realise I've probably ruined my career by being there when I should be in New York with Carlisle"
"Hush now" Alice scolded "All good things come to those who wait. She's coming Edward in fact she might already be there"
"Great!" Edward huffed it would be just my luck to be here and she's there thanks for that image Alice. The small woman laughed come on now Carlisle has called a family meeting and she towed Edward downstairs.

The next morning Bella met Tiffany Call slightly sooner than she had expected…
The back door opened and in came a leggy dark haired Quileute woman. Bella closed the oven door with a start and pulled her oversized sweat shirt around her baby bump as she turned to face the woman. Tiffany Call's dark eyes followed the movement and settled on Bella's tummy before lifting just as quickly to Bella's face
"Hi I'm Tiffany Call" she held out her hand and smiled brightly. Bella found herself returning that bright smile and shaking the proffered hand "Charlie around?" she almost sang as she placed a bakery bag on the kitchen counter with two cups of takeout coffee. As Bella looked at the coffee Tiffany blurted "Sorry I didn't realise he would have a house guest"
"No worries." Bella replied "I'm Bella by the way" Tiffany almost choked on the Danish pastry she had retrieved from the bag which she pushed towards Bella
"Help yourself there's plenty" Tiffany almost spat crumbs all over Bella who to be honest was amused at the woman's embarrassment
"Well well" came a familiar voice from the hall "My two favourite girls in my kitchen" Charlie walked in and immediately pulled the bag towards him so he could pull out a large pastry.
"I haven't exactly got off to a good start" Tiffany mumbled wincing a smile at Bella "I just let myself in and totally forgot Bella would be here. I'm so sorry Bella what must you think of me?"
"Its fine Tiffany honestly don't worry" Bella began to protest "I haven't been here in ages."
"Still no excuse Bella I mean it's easy to see you're Charlie's daughter same eyes and hair….cute smile" her eyes flickered to Charlie who smiled fondly between bites as he woofed his pastry down.
"Pass me that coffee kiddo?" Charlie managed to ask as he swallowed the last bite and Bella couldn't help but notice the way Tiffany looked at him. Hmm she thought to herself something was going on but it didn't look like Charlie had cottoned on to Tiffany's feelings or maybe he had and was just playing it cool. Charlie chugged his coffee down in almost one go. He wiped his mouth with a paper serviette that had come with the pastries.
"I'm glad you two girls have met now before I leave" he looked at Bella and mouthed a sorry in her direction "I've got to go into the station today but I've got the next couple of days off to spend with my baby I'm gonna spoil her rotten." Bella blushed in response it wasn't often that Charlie gushed forth in such a fashion what was going on here? She mused come to think of it her father had been displaying a little more affection than usual since her arrival.
"I thought you could do with some company Bells and as luck would have it Tiff here doesn't go on duty until later tonight" Tiffany looked aghast for all of ten seconds Charlie had obviously not let her in on his little plan. Bella noticed even if Charlie didn't
"That's okay Dad" She replied "I mean this trip was a little last minute after all" She turned towards Tiffany who nibbled at her pastry looking awkward. "I'm sure you have plenty to do if it's your day off and all" But Bella immediately felt bad when she saw the older woman's face drop. It hadn't quite come out of her mouth the way she had intended. Tiffany placed the remainder of her pastry uneaten back in the bag.
"Ummm look…that didn't quite come out right." Bella confessed. "I don't mean to sound ungrateful in fact I was thinking of going into Forks today and well…" She twisted the hem of her sweatshirt around her fingers and nibbled on her bottom lip. Tiffany didn't miss either movement and her heart reached out to Bella. Charlie was right his little girl was lost at the moment and she of all people knew what it was like to be a single mother living alone far away from her people.
"I could take you as I have a few errands to run there myself" Tiffany began "And I'd appreciate the company too"
"There you go Bell's" Charlie sighed with relief as he looked between the two women "You haven't got a car and I'm taking the cruiser so it makes sense for Tiff to take you."
"You really don't have to…" Bella began to protest "I…I don't want to be a burden"
"Don't be silly" Tiffany smiled "I'm going to Forks and it will be nice to get to know you again Bella it's been a long time since you played at my house." Bella smiled in return.
And so it was settled…they would go into town together.

Jacob stood outside the tall elegant apartment block. Jeez if this is where Bella lived she certainly wouldn't like the Rez. The wolf whined he wanted their mate to be with them and he couldn't see any problem with Jacobs home. It was warm and water proof as a den should be perfect for a new born cub. Clearly the wolf was miles apart from the man on this particular issue.
Embry stood beside Jacob his own mouth gaping with awe. He hadn't given any thought to the possibility that Bella could refuse Jacob. Fuck what if she did refuse him? He was a royal pain in the ass to live with now fuck knows what he would be like if his chosen mate sent him away. He braced himself for what felt like the inevitable and mentally calculated how long it would take Sam and some of the guys to come get him. He shuddered a little at the mental image of a berserk Jake going wolf and running down Broadway. He swallowed hard as Jacob spoke
"Let's do it!" he exhaled a long deep breath as he walked into reception Embry trailing behind. The security guard woke up as he took in the two huge natives standing in front of the concierge
"Can I help you two gentlemen?" the man behind the desk began "Are you lost in the big city" Jacob almost growled he didn't like the inference that he and Embry were a couple of country hicks
"Yes I'm looking for Miss Isabella Swan as a matter of fact." Jacob began as the man continued to eye him warily
"What apartment?" he asked knowing full well which apartment Bella lived in but he wanted to test this big mother fucker. His eyes darted to the security guy whose hand checked his holster
"821" Jacob spoke with confidence he could see a little disappointment appear in the man's eyes
"I'll just call ahead and get Miss Swan to come down." he lifted the phone
"No need." Jacob began "I want to surprise her"
"I'm sure you will" the man muttered to himself drawing Jacobs dark eyes to his own "I'm sure it will be a nice surprise." He corrected himself but the scowl on Jakes face remained. "Name?" the man asked as Jacob stared back "Whom shall I say is calling?" his nasally voice was starting to get on Jakes nerves along with his fucking attitude.
"Jacob Black" Jake almost spat his own name
The concierge averted his eyes just as his call was answered by a woman if Jakes hearing was anything to go by and he stood with bated breath.
"A Mr Jacob Black to see Miss Swan" He listened to the voice then placed the receiver back down "You may go up" the man motioned towards the lifts at the back of the lobby "Eighth floor turn to your left when leaving the lift good day to you sir".
Jacob didn't bother to reply he was already moving towards the lift door with Embry trailing in his wake. Once inside Jacob didn't take his eyes off the small electronic screen that showed the number of each floor he was itching to see the small brunette again and as his wolf howled with delight it occurred to him that maybe he should have brought flowers "Fuck" he mumbled as the doors on eighth floor opened
"Turn left" Embry began "Jacob turn left." His Alpha seemed to be in a daze Jeez how could one so small have such an effect on a huge kick ass shapeshifter? Jacob had it way worse than he had admitted that's for sure. He shook his head a little as they walked up to the door. Jake raised his large fist to knock when the door flew open
"So" the red head breathed "Finally decided to show your face did we Mother fucker?" The girl was just a little taller than Bella but she was right up into Jacobs's chest where she jabbed a furious finger. Embry almost laughed at the look on her face when she realised the guy was made of what felt like steel. Jacob glowered at the girl but she refused to back down
"Is Bella Swan here?" He growled looking over her head "I've come to see her and not you"
"Maybe she doesn't want to see you and can't say I blame her not after what you did" She poked him again and winced a little
"Maybe she will once she's heard what I have to say!" Jacob pushed forward a little but Lorna was holding her ground "Bella?" he called "Bella are you in there?" Embry swallowed the laugh he was desperate to release if only the pack could see this now, how their mighty Alpha was being barred from entering an apartment by a slip of a woman. He'd only caught a glimpse of her red hair and pretty face the rest of her was hidden behind Jakes huge frame.
"Well maybe she won't answer seeing she's not here" Lorna looked triumphant as Jacobs face fell
"When will she be back?" he asked pushing a hand through his hair that hung in a loose pony tail down his back "Is she working?" Lorna studied his dark eyes for a moment and she seemed to see something there
"Look…" she began a little calmer now but she still crossed her arms as if they could provide a barrier against Jake. "Bella has gone to stay with her Dad for a few days" Jake looked devastated which surprised Lorna even more
"Where did she go?" he asked "And when …when will she be back?"
"Well seeing as she only flew out last night she won't be back for another five days or so" Jacob closed his eyes as the pain in his chest gripped him. So so fucking close he couldn't believe it Bella must have flown out as they flew in. He gripped the edge of the door frame as a wave of disappointment ripped through his body the wolf howled long and low. He needed to find her and soon.
"Hey you ok?" Lorna asked a little concerned at Jacobs reaction to her news she hesitated for a fraction of a second them thought what the hell "Look come in have some coffee have you eaten?" the words came tumbling out as she grabbed hold of Jakes free hand and pulled. There was no way she could have pulled that body anywhere it didn't want to go luckily Jacob followed and Embry trouped in behind.
"Go sit down in there "Lorna absentmindedly waved a hand in the direction of the living room wondering to herself why on earth she had invited them in. Jake followed by Embry walked in and sat down. He took a deep breath the whole place was saturated with Bella's scent maybe he thought it was a little sweeter than he remembered it but it was her and that was all that mattered. It magically calmed both the man and the wolf. Embry watched him with troubled eyes
"You okay Jake?" he asked "Look maybe we should just find out where she is and go you don't look too good man" Jacob sat back on the sofa oblivious to Embry's questions eyes closed he was lost to Bella's scent
"Do you think one of you could give me a hand?" Lorna called from the kitchen
"I'll go" Embry wearily got up this was turning into a real shitty day if it wasn't already so fucked up
Jacob's eyes s napped open… felt it before he heard it. He knew when a new imprint was formed. "Fuck me" he groaned to himself could things get any fucking worse. He hauled himself up and off the sofa and headed to the kitchen. There sprawled on the floor was Embry totally dazed, feisty red head hadn't fared much better either but at least she had collapsed onto a chair
"Oh my god…oh my God" Lorna kept mumbling like it was some sort of mantra "What the fuck just happened?" Jacob pulled Embry to his feet before clasping one huge hand with his own
"Congratulations Embry you've imprinted" Jacob smiled he was happy for Embry but he really wondered how the Great Spirits had thought Miss Feisty NY was right for the quiet and studious wolf. But hey who was he to question look at his own track record
"What do you mean Imprinted?" Lorna shouted "Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on and why I feel weird?" before anyone could answer the phone rang and Lorna picked up "Mimi "She gasped "Yes two of them, yes I feel weird …how did you know?"
000
Half an hour later and the three of them were in a cab and on their way to Mimi's shop. Lorna hadn't said another word since Jacob and Embry had told her about imprinting. They had given her the abridged version as she was already freaking out anymore and they were both convinced she'd turn psycho. She had but one question when they had finished their explanation and that was directed to Jake. Lorna wanted to know if he had imprinted on Bella and she seemed really angry when he said no.
000
A/N: So Edward is in Forks for one particular reason...oh I wonder who that could be (cackle) is Charlie in a relationship with Tiffany Call? Oh my and poor Lorna will she accept the imprint or will Mimi interfere oh questions questions…
Till next time oxoxo
