Remember any thoughts on how you imagine Robert, also I did a bit of planning and if I follow my plan there's about 8 chapters left, but that'll probably increase knowing me.

Cam you let me know if you would like to see a chapter of bella hunting Joham or want it in the outtakes?

Also if you read 'The Violet Eyes', once I have finished this story that will be my priority and after more research I have decided I'm rewriting it, I have much more developed ideas now and want to make it better. After that it'll be 'With wolfs claw', but that probably wont be for a year or so, so add to the alerts and please be patient.

"Are you sure about this?" She asked me for the sixtieth time.

"Yes, it'll be fine." I smiled at her, putting as much love as I could into that smile.

I certainly hoped it would be fine, meeting her twin vampire brother is quite a big thing. He could break my neck and be done with it, but when I have seen him in school they all seem nice, but distant.

"Where are we meeting him?"

"At Bella's old house." She replied with her head in my lap, we were on the sofa as Charlotte and my Mom are out.

"Where's that?" I asked confused.

"Hasn't anyone ever told you about the old Police Chief who went missing?"

I thought about it for a minute. "Chief Swan? I did a project about him, and his daughter... oh. Really?"

"Yep, he father is a vampire too, although we didn't know this until a few months ago."

"So that's why you call her Marie at school? I'm guessing that's why you came here in the first place."

"It is." She smiled up at me, and pecked me on the lips, quick enough that I felt the desire running through me, but quick enough that I couldn't act on it. I groaned as she grinned.

"I love how I make your heart go nuts."

"I know you do." I mumbled, trying to get my heart back under control and pretending to be annoyed at her. But she just chuckled her bell like laugh.

"Come on Rob, you know I'm teasing." She grabbed my hand and started playing with my fingers.

"Exactly."

Before I could blink she was knelt next to me at eyelevel. "Robbie," she began with worry colouring her voice. I felt guilty now and she probably knew it.

"Jo, don't be stupid. There's a question is it possible to have a stupid vamp?"

"I'm sure it will be if you ever become one." She laughed and then stopped and pressed her lips together.

"How do you become one?" I had never asked her this before, if I'm honest it didn't cross my mind.

"We aren't talking about this now." She moved to get off the sofa, but I grabbed her arm .

"Why not?"

"We've only known each other for two months!" She said exasperated.

"So you don't love me then?"

"What? No. Of course I do!" She looked shocked.

"So what is the problem then? Does it matter how long we've known each other? I'm not saying I want to become a vampire tomorrow. That's just ridiculous."

"Really? You wouldn't?"

"I couldn't do that to my family, because by judging the way you look, you tend to be quite different, so it's not going to be that I can hide it. But I will want to one day, I already feel like I'm going to be with you for a long long time." I reached towards her for a kiss and this time she complied.

But only after a few seconds her phone bleeped. She pulled away, breathing heavily and grinning, I could feel the breathless smile on my face too.

"Uh-oh." She said looking at her phone.

"What's wrong."

"Bella's gone. I was hoping she could be with Jack, just in case." She bit her lip and looked upset.

"Come here." I opened my arms and she fit into them with her head on my shoulder as if I was made for her. "He's your brother right?" She nodded. "And you have known him for how many years?"

"40," she mumbled, I rubbed her cold arm comfortingly.

"So you know him so well, how do you really think he'll react?"

She was quiet and still for a few minutes, but I was used to her vampire stillness and knew she was just deep in thought.

"He'll be upset, then angry but I think he'll be happy for me."

"So why are you worrying?" I asked softly.

"What if he doesn't?" She sniffed into my neck.

"Well we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. If we do."

She sighed and nodded, and we sat like that for a few hours until my Mom came home from work.

"Honey, is Joanne staying for dinner?" She asked as I helped her unpack the groceries.

"No we're going out for tea. Port Angeles." I lied smoothly; it was easier than Joanne having to hide her food.

"That's nice dear." She smiled at me. "It's good, you're going out. Especially since..."

I ground my teeth; sure, my family didn't believe I was crazy anymore, but that doesn't stop them forgetting what happened. It was better as I knew what had happened and I had a reason to keep quiet.

"Sure Mom. We're going soon."

"Well change if you're going out for dinner." She said appearing not to notice my annoyance.

I found Joanne coming back in through the front door. I looked at her puzzled, but she lifted a black dress bag.

"Alice warned me." She grinned and went up the stairs. "I'll change in the bathroom." The door closed and I sighed and trudged up the stairs.

"Wear a suit! And hurry up the table is booked for eight." She called through the door as I passed.

"Monkey suit you mean. " I mumbled, but smiled when I heard her laugh.

I dressed quickly in my suit, but with no tie, and was taming my dark hair when she knocked on the door.

I pulled it open and I was sure my jaw dropped to the floor. She was wearing a tight black dress with went to her mid-thigh, she Had on glittery black heels which made her about my height, her dark hair was curled loosely around her shoulders and she was wearing a dark lipstick. It's safe to say my breath was stuck in my throat.

"I can hear your heart again." She smiled. "Thank you. Now we have to go."

She dragged me out the house with a goodbye to my Mom, who warmly returned it and soon we were off in her car.

"Remember to do up your seatbelt, Hun." She said as she pulled onto the main road.

"Tell me about your human life. Please?" I asked her after I obediently clicked my seatbelt into place. She never said much other than she was born in England and her twin brother is Jack.

"Well what do you want to know?"

"I want to know everything, but let's settle for what you want to tell me for now." I settled into my seat with my back against the passenger door so I could see her properly.

"Well, I was born on the 14th of April 2036, forty years ago at 7:20 in the evening and my brother Jack was born four minutes after that. My parents names were Jack and Emma Maxwell. My full name is Joanne Louise Maxwell Swan. I was born in Kent, England. I was a good student and never got into trouble, believe it or not." Then she paused.

"What?"

"I can't remember anything else. If I'm honest I could only remember my full name, the rest of it is stuff I remembered in my vampire life."

"You can't remember anything?" I asked feeling shocked. If I turned into a vampire would I forget my family? My friends? Basically what made me who I am?

"How can I describe it... have you ever spun really fast on a roundabout, you know the spinney ones you find in parks? Well what you see when that happened doubled with what you see underwater, that's what my human life is like, I can't make anything out."

"I assumed you'd just remember everything."

"Not everything but the bits you focus on. For example Rosalie Cullen, her story isn't a nice one to tell, but that was all she focussed on for the beginning of her vampire life and now that's all she can remember. She hates it. Whereas Bella, remembers her mother, father and her time with Edward, and every now and then gets flashes of her human life."

"I didn't realise they were together when she was human. Was he human too? " I asked suddenly curious, if he was a vampire too, what had happened?

"He was a vampire and she was human. He was too protective and hurt her badly, not physically, so she could 'move on and live a human life', the idiot." She almost spat the last part and then sighed. "That's why she's so keen to help us; she doesn't want what happened to her to happen to you."

Just then we pulled into the car park of the restaurant.

"Five minutes to spare." She grinned as she jumped out the car. I stumbled after her.

When we stopped at the menu on the outside I gulped.

"Oh don't worry about that, Bella's paying." She winked pulling out a gold card and linking her arm through mine and proceeded to tow me inside.

The maître-de immediately turned his attention to Joanne, more specifically her cleavage. I wanted to dive over that podium and punch him. Thankfully, almost in response to this, she pulled her coat around her and leant into my arm, turning her face towards me.

I looked at the man and couldn't help a huge smirk in his direction.

"Now that you're looking away from my girlfriend's chest, would you mind showing us to our table?"

His cheeks flamed and looked ruffled he took the name and showed us hastily to our table muttering apologies to us and purposely not looking at Joanne which I was appreciative for. He fluttered away, his cheeks still flaming.

"Nice job there." She laughed and winked at me.

"You were the one who kept my temper in check." I quickly looked down at the menu. "No offence, but why are we here? You can't even eat here."

"You've had what, fourteen girlfriends?" My cheeks grew warm but I nodded.

"About that number. Why?"

"Did you ever go to a fancy restaurant with them?" I shook my head. "So this is something different, and relatively human." She gave a small smile and looked down and the menu.

"So this is it, human things to do? You know I don't care about stuff that. You are not human and I don't care that you aren't. So why should you do things you stopped over twenty years ago?"

"I don't want you to miss out," she shrugged looking sullenly down at her menu, grimacing every now and then. I sighed and reached across to grab her cold hand.

"Thank you, I appreciate it." I squeezed its hardness once and withdrew my hand.

Just then our waiter waltzed up to us, one look at her and I groaned under my breath.

"Can I take your order?" She said keeping her eyes fixed on me; her eyes kept flitting from my face to my partly unbuttoned white shirt, with her teeth playing with her bottom lip flirtingly.

"Excuse me? I think they got your name tag wrong. You need to tell your manager." I looked over at Joanne. She was shaking her head sadly, but I knew the glint of anger in her eyes. The girl looked over to her with a glare.

"Sorry? My name tag isn't wrong."

"Well it doesn't include the words whore and dumb, so it must be." This was so unexpected I burst out into laughter, causing our waiter to puff up and storm off. Her reaction caused other couples in the vicinity to stifle their giggles and sniggers too.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" I chuckled with one hand on my stomach, trying to restrain my laughter.

"No but I still appreciate it all the same." She gave me a large grin as our new waiter walked up to us, and thankfully she didn't try to flirt with either of us.

"Calm down." I gave her a kiss on her forehead breathing in her comforting aroma of oranges and thyme.

She glanced at her slim gold watch on her left wrist and jump3ed up and began pacing, I sighed. There wasn't a way to stop her worrying, just wait and see what happened.

About that point the light in the dusty living room flickered and when it came back on a huge figure was by the fireplace. I swore and Joanne jumped.

"Jack!"

I stood up glad that I was taller than this vampire, but I could still feel my heart race at the fact I was facing Joanne's brother and a vampire.

"Joanne, what's going on?" He said grabbing hold of her arm, his face looking worried and confused, then he looked at me properly. "You're that kid from Halloween."

"Robert." I nodded my head in acknowledgement and offered my hand, which he simply looked at warily. I shrugged and withdrew it, putting both arms behind my back and standing with my legs a shoulders width apart, withdrawing on my three summers of military school, so I looked stronger than a usual human, when I was really terrified.

"Does he know?" He looked at his sister, his eyes wide; he shook her when she didn't reply. "Joanne!"

"Yes! But you will not hurt him." She said sternly.

"B-b-but. What?" He spluttered looking from his sister and back to me, again and again.

She gently moved out of his hold and put a hand on my arm.

"He's my mate."

It was silent for five seconds with neither of them moving or breathing. Then Jack leaned back against the wall.

"Your mate? Don't joke with me Joanne. Please." He clasped his hands in front of him, but I was confused. Why was he so desperate?

"I would never joke about this with you!" she said exasperatedly.

"But you'll be killed!" He cried his eyes becoming shiny.

"What?" I asked getting worried. I looked and Joanne. "Jo. What does he mean?"

"Against the rules." She murmured looking at the floor.

"And now they'll kill the both of you!" Jack's voice broke at kill but then as if a switch was flicked he turned to me. "It's your fault!" He stormed towards me but before I could make sense of anything I was in the hall and Jack was back against the wall his sister holding his wrists.

"It's not his fault. If anyone's it's mine, now calm down Jack."

He looked at her for a minute then relaxed.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I didn't know what I was doing, I was trying to keep Rob safe, and the rest of you. I only told Bella that day we disappeared during the prank in the meadow. Well Adam followed and found out too, but I only wanted to tell Bella as she had been in Rob's position once."

He breathed out deeply and pulled her in for a hug.

"You silly girl. Sure there would be uproar but we'd be there for you. Family sticks together."

I suddenly felt like I was intruding on an important moment and coughed quietly. "I'll wait outside." I turned to leave but Jack chuckled.

"No need mate. Stay." He pulled away from his sister, who was beaming in happiness and relief, and moved towards me with a sheepish grin on his face. "Start over?"

I laughed and nodded.

"Hello my name's Robert andI'm dating your vampire twin sister." I stuck out my hand and this time he took it.

"Hi, I'm Jack and it's nice to meet you."

We both grinned at each other and Joanne came over and fit herself under my arm.

"It's good to see you boys play nice, but Jack I'm not telling the others yet."

"If you think that's best." He shrugged. "Well I'm off. I'm scheduled a fight with Emmett, I might let him win to make him feel better though." He gave Jo a kiss on the cheek and nodded a bye to me and left.

"I said it wouldn't be too bad." She chuckled.

"Liar." I retorted.
