Ch 11

Maggie had a quick introduction to Leah and Quil then headed to Port Angeles. When the four of them arrived in Port Angeles Rose and Nessie went in one direction while Alice and Maggie went in another. Alice dragged Maggie into a dress shop and began holding up dresses.

"Alice, it's a birthday party. Nothing too fancy." Alice frowned as they headed to the next shop. "What are your plans when you get the twins back?" Alice asked looking through a rack of sundresses.

"I've been planning on moving out of LA for awhile but I haven't settled on anything yet."

"Good, I'd like it if you moved up here. We're going to be moving outside of Seattle at the end of the summer. We've stayed here far too long. Bella's upset about leaving Charlie but we can plan visits it's only a few hours drive, usually we move farther but everything is different now. Jake's pack is still debating on what to do. Of course he's coming along but Quil has an imprint and Seth has an imprint as well so that only leaves Leah and Embry. Now that Embry has you it's only Leah and I think she'd rather stay close to the family then travel with us." Alice pulled out two dresses one that was pale yellow and another that was blue. Maggie grinned. "Come on go try them on." Alice pulled out her phone to text Rose and Nessie.

Maggie put on the yellow one first and came out of the dressing room with a slight spin. Alice gave her the thumbs up and she went in to try the other. Maggie opened the door and Alice clapped happily.

"That's it. It's perfect." Maggie nodded. It was strapless and was fitted in the chest then flared slightly. There was small white flowers at the bottom hem and a white ribbon that ran under the chest. Maggie came out and Alice grabbed the dress.

"My treat." She said with a smile.

"No way. I can get it. My father left me plenty of money which I invested wisely plus I have my own income." Alice ignored Maggie and bought the dress. Alice nudged Maggie in the direction of a lingerie shop and Maggie frowned. "No way."

"Just incase. Go ahead. I'll meet you across the street." She said motioning to a store.

Maggie walked into the shop and began browsing. It had been years since she'd been on a date and the last time she had been intimate with anyone was when the twins were conceived. She settled on a bra and panties then headed over to meet Alice. Alice already had a bunch of clothes on her arm.

Around 2:30 they arrived back at the house. Maggie went to make a phone call to check in on her office and let the other partners know she was giving her two weeks. Since it was a small practice they were not to happy but were understanding when she explained the move was for her children to be closer to family which wasn't the truth but it made it easier. Next Maggie called her cell phone provider to order a new phone and have it overnighted to her house in LA. Lastly she put all of her notes into the binder and called Sookie.

"Hello?"

"Sookie, it's Maggie."

"Maggie, it's good to hear from you." Maggie went over her findings and explained what Bella went through during the pregnancy. Maggie could tell Sookie wasn't liking the news and the thought of a baby causing that much damage in the womb was scary. At the end of the call she explained that Naill had visited and would be seeing her sometime that day.

"Maggie, I think Eric's going to pick the queen. He showed up last night and he was trying to scare me. He did and what you just told me confirms that I don't want to do this. Sure it might be different because Eric isn't the same type of vampire but I don't want to chance it. Sam just gave me part ownership of the bar and I can't think of leaving here or becoming a vampire."

"Are you ok? Do you want me to come there?" Maggie felt bad for Sookie who was sniffling.

"No, I'll be ok. You just focus on your kids and I'll let Naill know when he gets here." Maggie thought about telling Sookie about Alice's vision but decided against it. The women ended the call and Alice strolled into the room.

"She's made her choice, I still see a baby in her future and I think it's father is some kind of shifter." Maggie smirked.

"Maybe it's Sam? Or it could be Alcide? Does the man have light or dark hair?" Alice shook her head.

"I can't see him clearly but she loves him and they make a nice family."

"That's good." Maggie got up and made her way to Carlisle's office. "Here are all the notes. Sookie has decided against having a baby and I wouldn't want these to end up in anyone else's hands." Carlisle nodded and took the binder.

"So your children will be returned soon."

"Yes, hopefully tonight."

"That's good. I'm glad we got to know each other, you have an amazing talent."

"Thank you. You have been so kind and helpful." Alice appeared at her side.

"It's nearly 4. You better get ready."

Maggie hurried up the stairs and took a quick shower not washing her hair again. She braided it quickly then put on the dress. Maggie frowned at her reflection and unbraided her hair and decided to leave it down and wavy. She dug out a white sweater she had in her bag and then looked at the small clock on the wall. It was almost 4 so she took a deep breath and walked down the stairs. Jake was sitting on the couch with his arm around Nessie who was fixed on a TV show. Jake turned and smiled then returned his attention back to Nessie.
