I'm so sorry that it's been a while, so to make it up to ya'll I've made THE longest chapter so far! Luv Ya'll Lots!

Darin's POV

I froze in the doorway, the shopping bags dangling from my arms. I was in trouble, and I knew it. Shit.

"You better start explaining," She tapped her foot with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Explain what?" I asked as I started to pass by her.

She turned around on her heel and caught up to me, leveling her strides with mine. "Where the hell have you been?"

"Shopping," I smirked and showed her the shopping bags in my hands. I had bought three jeans, five shirts, and even my tux for the wedding all under budget. Who said a man couldn't shop?

"Don't be a smart alik," she snapped, glaring at me. "You were gone for two days."

"There was a midnight sale," I shrugged and set the bags on the table.

"Bull," she rolled her eyes and walked to the other side. Somebody was pissy tonight.

"What are you all dressed up for?" I asked, noticing she had done her hair and had on a skirt and nice shirt.

"None of your business," she narrowed her eyes. "Where were you, Darin?" she glared.

"I told you. There was a midnight sale at one of the stores and I didn't want to miss out. So I just got a motel and stayed there," I started to dig through the bags, making sure I had all the receipts.

"There are vampires here." Her voice was cold and blank. I looked up from the bags to see her leaning against the wall casually, her eyes fixed on the bags in front of me as her arms were crossed over her chest.

"Course there are. Aren't the Cullen's or what-they're-names here-" I started but was interrupted by her quickly.

"You know what I mean." she snapped quickly.

"What do you-"

"Darin, do you know who they are?" she asked, her voice softening a bit.

"Know who?" I looked at her.

"Who are they, Darin!" She screamed, bouncing up off of the wall.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" I jumped back in surprise. What did she think I was! I traitor or something! She had it all wrong!

"Darin, dammit lives are at stake who are they!" she screamed again and stormed to the other side of the table, making me back up against the wall.

"Lindsey!" I yelled in shock as my back hit the wall.

"You're a traitor!" she slapped me in the face. "You lied!"

"What are you talking about!" I was so confused!

"Hey hey hey hey!" Seth bounded down the stairs as Lindsey raised her hand again to slap me. He grabbed her around the waist and her hand, pulling her away from me.

"He lied to us!" She screamed and thrashed in his arms. "He's a traitor!"

"Shh, Lindsey, shh, you need to calm down," He whispered to her, petting her head and holding her against his chest.

My "heart" squeezed as I watched them. I wanted to be the one holding her. I wanted to tell her that everything was alright and be able to kiss her. I wanted HIM to be the one against the wall and being called a traitor.

"We have to go," Seth watched me as he led Lindsey towards the stairs.

"Mm." I nodded and looked at Lindsey as she kept her eyes on me.

"Leave her alone for a while," Seth added as he walked her up the staircase.

I rolled my eyes and turned back to the bags on the table top.

I pulled out the last receipt and tucked it into my wallet even though I probably wouldn't need it. I sighed and stuffed the wallet in my back jeans pocket and walked into the kitchen. God I had never seen her speak-more like yell-at me that way before. It was like she truly believed that I knew the vampires she was talking about.

I slammed the counter top and looked out the window. In a horror movie, someone would be standing mere inches from the glass. My life couldn't be even closer to a horror movie.

Lindsey's POV

Seth took my hand and rubbed the back of it as we sat in the backseat. Embry was driving and Kels had Ari on her lap up front.

"It's going to be fine," He reassured me. Nothing had worked. I had the worst feeling in the world that Darin was up to something. I just knew it. But he seemed so innocent when I confronted him...

I sighed and brushed my bangs out of my face. "I know, I know..." I rolled my eyes. God was I a mess or what?

"Well calm down, Sweetheart. You look like you're going to have a heart attack," he rested his hand on the side of my face and smiled at me. "Everything's going to be fine."

"Hey Linds..." Kels chuckled from the front seat. "Look who's here."

Oh boy. I looked in the parking lot to see a bright cotton candy blue mustang convertible parked next to my parent's car. Only one man could own something like that.

"Who's that, Mommy?" Ari pointed out the windshield as a man bounded out of the restaurant. He was kinda tall with a little weight. He had red hair with a red mustache to match, with glasses and a bright yellow shirt on.

Kelsey laughed. "That, Ari, is Uncle Duck."

"This is going to be interesting," Embry mumbled as he parked the car.

"THERE ARE MY GIRLS!" Uncle Duck laughed as he jogged up to us, grabbing Kels and I in a tight hug. "Why haven't you come down to Florida!" he chuckled.

"Oh, we've been busy," Kels tried to keep her laughs quiet. "Duck this is Arianna, my daughter, and this is Embry, my husband," she smiled proudly.

"Well, well, well!" Duck tilted his chin up as he looked Embry up and down who stood about six inches taller than him. "Looks like you got a good one, Kelster," he winked at her and laughed.

She blushed and smiled.

"Duck, this is Seth," I stepped forward, Seth's arm wrapped around my waist.

"Oh-ho!" he raised his eyebrows and looked at Seth, who also was taller than him. "Good catch, missy," he joked as he held out his hand to Seth. "Very nice to meet you, very nice." Oh my goodness...

Seth looked from me to him then shook Duck's hand. "Pleasure's all mine-"

"Call me Duck," he answered for him.

"-Duck," Seth smiled awkwardly. I took his free hand in mine to show him that he was alright.

"Don't worry, he doesn't bite..often," I joked and winked at Duck as Seth calmed a bit.

From then on out it wasn't too bad. Mom and Dad were happy to see Seth, Embry, Kels and I again, and even more excited to see Ari. Mom was always one of those moms who dreamed of being a grandma for who knows how long.

Seth sat next to me on my left, Kels on my right, Embry on the other side of her, Ari in her booster seat, Mom next to her, Dad next to Mom, and of course, that left Duck on the other side of Seth. I could tell he was worried. So when Uncle Duck got up to go to the bathroom, I grabbed his hand and whispered, "Are you alright?"

He swallowed and looked up to make sure no one was watching. "I think I'd rather take on a clan of vampires right now."

I smiled and kissed his cheek. "You're going to be fine."

He tried to smile but Uncle Duck made his appearance again and sat back down. "So, you two love birds, how long have you been together?"

Seth and I exchanged glances and he forced a smile. "Just about two years," Seth answered.

"Oh really now...? Where'd ya meet? The stripper's club?" He busted out laughing along with my parent's. This was the typical "Duck Humor." He had always teased Kels and I that we were so beautiful that we should be in the stripper district. My dad didn't think it was too funny when we were little kids.

Seth looked uncomfortable as he tried to chuckle too.

"Nah, I'm just kidding with ya, Kid," Duck slapped Seth on the back.

He looked down at me as he replied. "Oh..yeah.."

"So how many kids you gonna have?" Duck blurt out, making me cough on my water that I was drinking and Seth's eyes widen larger than quarters.

"What?"

"Kids?" Seth and I said in unison.

"Well yes! Little midgets just like you used to be, Izzers! How many?" he asked again.

"Oh..well..uh...I didn't even think we were going to have any," I stuttered, feeling my stomach churn. I wasn't anywhere near ready to answer this question.

Seth looked down at me worriedly.

"This bread is so amazing," Embry butted in. Thank god.

The rest of the night went by a lot smoother. We agreed that I would meet Mom and the Cullen's at my house at nine in the morning to get ready for the wedding. My stomach churned as we sat in the back seat again. I noticed Seth was somehow different after the dinner. Which scared me to the fullest. I really hoped nothing Duck said would changed his mind about anything. I felt the imprint between us pull slightly, making my heart squeeze.

Seth had told me him and the rest of the pack were going to go out for his 'bachelor party,' so I followed him as he trudged up the stairs into our bedroom.

"Hun...?" I asked as he walked to his dresser, undoing the buttons on his shirt.

"Hm...?"

"Are you alright...?" I felt more worried about him than I had in a long time. He'd never been this quiet. Ever.

"Fine," he replied quickly, making me suck in a breath. I knew how this went. I'd ask if he was ok, then he'd say 'fine' or 'alright' even though it was the complete opposite. He has to remember sometimes that this is ME he's talking (and even getting married) to.

"Seth, please," I walked closer to him as he froze up over his dresser; his back to me.

"Iz..." He dropped a piece of clothing in the dresser drawer. "I love you, and you love me...right?"

I blinked and stepped closer. "Why would you ever have to ask that?" I felt more worry build up inside me. Was he having second guesses? I was so going to kill Duck for this.

"Why not kids, Iz?" his voice was cool but stiff as he gripped the edges of the dresser drawer.

His question shot through me like a knife through my heart. My entire body froze up and I tried not to let my jaw drop.

"Why not?" he turned around to face me. His face was full of pain; it was obvious. He wanted kids. He wanted a family to come home to after patrol. Little girls or boys to cradle when they have nightmares and to play with in front of the T.V. He wanted babies.

"Seth..." I heard my weak voice crack. How could I ever say no to him? I knew I had to, but how? "I...I just...I don't...I can't..."

"What do you mean you can't!" I felt a rush of pain through me. Thanks a lot, Imprint bond.

I closed my eyes tightly. "I just don't want kids, Seth." I felt my hands go in fists and my body tense as I swallowed, waiting for him to go over the edge. Would he be mad or depressed? I didn't know what to expect.

"Iz...Izzie...Lindsey..." he whispered. The only thing I heard in his voice was pure pain and sadness. "Why...? Why not...?"

I felt tears beginning to form in my eyes. "I just don't, Seth." My voice cracked again.

The imprint bond tightened and I felt his pain and sadness. I felt horrible, like I had broken his heart. But I just couldn't be a mother! I just couldn't! I would never be. That was Kelsey's job, she always wanted it. But I didn't want it.

I swallowed as I watch him walk over to the bed, his knees wobbling.

"Seth," I whimpered out again. I couldn't bear to see him like this. He looked miserable. It reminded me of Embry the night Kelsey had supposedly died.

He held his head in his hands. My heart squeezed again and I walked over to the bed, standing in front of him.

"Seth..." I murmured down to him.

He didn't move, but I knew he was listening.

"Because I love you...And I know that that kind of decision is not mine to make..." I whispered down to him.

Like he was being resurrected, his head lifted from his hands and he looked up at me as if I was an angle sent from heaven. "Wh...what...?" he stammered.

"I love you, Seth," I whispered and let my hands snake around his head, holding him against my stomach as I leaned down to kiss the top of his head.

I almost heard him cry with happiness as he kissed my stomach tenderly. "I love you so much, Lindsey."

I felt butterflies in my stomach. Not in the good way.

Carlisle looked at me from his chair. His lips were in a strait line as if he was thinking deeply. Seth's hand was wrapped tightly around mine as we sat on the sofa across from him. I knew Seth was scared stiff about this but we had to know. I didn't want to try for nothing!

He swallowed and looked from me to Seth. "When was it, that you turned?" he asked me.

"Oh..uh.." I had to think about this for a minute. "About a year and three months ago, give or take a few weeks." Was it really that long ago?

Carlisle nodded and stood up to pace. "And you don't have any powers, not speed nor strength?"

I shook my head. "No."

"But you do drink blood?"

"Only when I crave it, which is about once every other week."

"And your eyes?"

"Turn black but only when I get super thirsty." I felt Seth's hand tighten around mine.

He sighed and continued to pace back and forth in front of us as he thought. "Do you have a picture of you around the time that you were turned...?" he asked as he stopped moving.

I thought for a moment then shook my head. "I..I don't think so.."

"Oh! I do!" Seth jumped and reached in his pocket for his phone. "I took it just before she was taken," he winced slightly and flipped open his phone to a picture of me with my hair down and smiling at him. I was in the kitchen leaning up against the counter top. I remembered that day. How happy I was...

"Perfect," Carlisle muttered and looked at the picture. He continuously looked back and forth between the picture and me then sighed slightly. "Lindsey, will you please put your hair down and stand up for me?"

I nodded and pulled the bun out of my hair, letting my waves fall down my chest. He walked up to me, putting the picture right next to my face as he looked.

"Your hair..." he murmured.

"What? What is it?" I asked quickly.

"It's the same exact length..." his eyes narrowed as he compared us.

I swallowed.

He flipped the phone shut and looked at me as he handed the phone back to Seth. "When was the last time you had your cycle?"

My eyes widened and I froze. Well wasn't this lovely. Come to think of it...I couldn't even remember. "I...I don't know..." I hadn't even thought about it. "The last one I remember...was..." I felt my eyes widen again and I felt my knees wobble.

"Before you were taken..." He finished my sentence.

Oh no. I knew this wasn't good. I fell backwards against Seth, who hadn't caught on yet. Oh no, oh no, oh no.

Carlisle backed up a bit and leaned up against the recliner. "I'm sorry, Lindsey," he murmured. "But it's impossible for you to get pregnant. You're immortal. You can't change or age. It's impossible."

Seth froze up instantly. Oh no. Seth, no. I looked up at him to see tears leaking out of his sad eyes.

"Seth..." I whispered out as Carlisle stepped out of the room.

"I'm sorry," he murmured before exiting.

Seth's grip on my hand suddenly came from tight to almost not even there. He stared strait ahead as another small tear fell down his cheek.

"Seth...?" I whispered again, leaning closer to him.

"It's not your fault." His voice was cold and full of pain.

I sat up a bit. Well, Lindsey, you got what you wanted. You happy now? I felt so selfish.

"I'm sorry, Seth," I felt my voice crack as a lump formed in my throat.

He sat up and shook his head. "We'll worry about this later. Right now we have a wedding to worry about. I have to go," he got up off of the couch like hot coals were underneath him.

"Seth," I stood up before he could walk out the door.

He paused to look back at me as he opened the door. "I'll meet you at the alter, Sweetheart." And with that he closed the door to go off with the pack.

I felt like I had been hit in the stomach with a rock. Like I had been beaten down with a baseball bat and left in crumpled pieces. As I laid in the empty bed staring up at the ceiling, I couldn't decide if I was upset that I was immortal, or if I was excited because I would get to stay with Seth for all eternity.

Eternity. That was a lot to look forward to.

Hey Everyone! I hope Ya'll loved the chapter! Just in case if any of you were curious, I made outfits for Kelsey, Lindsey, Embry, and Seth for the dinner. All you have to do is once again go to my Polyvore home page, and they'll be on there :) Luv Ya'll Lots!
