LIFE

Chapter 26

I walk over to the girls asking how dinner is coming along, and they say their just waiting for the two cobblers and some biscuits to come out of the oven. They can go ahead, and get things set to go on the tables. I also tell thhem about the storm heading our way. I ask them if they can get a couple big pots of vegetable beef soup going, and to use some of the ground bear with the regular beef. I also ask them if they can stay up to go ahead, and make some cornbread to go with it. I ask Maggie to come up with something like a couple layer cakes. Maybe some kind of turnovers for breakfast. I'm just running on whatever to have on standby in case of any problems with power.

I get Alice to go around to make sure the bathroom has plenty of clean linens. She said she had been doing laundry pretty steady, and there was plenty. I asked her to go out to their trailer, and check the water in the bathroom. Also, to turn on the heater, and open the cabinets to water pipes to get heat.

I look for Carlisle and Esme telling them to check everything in their trailer. To go ahead, and turn on all the heat. Also about opening their cabinets so the water pipes can get the heat to keep them from freezing. Also, to check their water in the shower, and their supplies stocked in their refrigerator.

I go out to our trailer turning on the heater, and opening the cabinets. I close all the curtains, and open the bathroom door. I want it totally warm throughout. I then head back out to the building. The men cutting firewood are coming in with three wheel barrows full. They start piling it up, and we almost got three cords. Still need more. I walk over asking them if there is any more, and they say they got about enough to bring in to make another half a cord. I tell them to bring in all the equipment when they make their last run.

I look for Edward, and find him out at the saw mill. I tell him I need a couple men to go around filling all the generators with gasoline including the ones at each trailer. I go back to my trailer grabbing a jacket for Baxter, a jacket for Lise, and boots for them. I head back inside, and tackle trying to get them both in their boots, and Lise's jacket on. I got to try to take them out at least one more time tonight at their trees. I'm going to have to fix a spot closer to my trailer cause I don't see Lise making it out there. Baxter may have a problem if it's as bad as I think it's going to be.

I put my coat, gloves, and hat on. I pick up Lise, and call Baxter to come. We head outside, and dang the snow is coming down like crazy. We are so going to be shoveling tomorrow. I take them over to their trees, and Lise is not happy about this. Baxter just piles right through the mess. Silly dogs. I do love my babies. To cute !

We head back inside, and Edward is standing at the door waiting for us. "There are my girls," stooping down to pick up Lise. She just has to be a traitor giving him kisses. "Aahh, dang she's so cute" Baxter worms his way in between us trying to get Edward's attention. "Alright big boy. No sweater or you? I can't believe it," smirking at me. We walk over to a table, and I proceed to take her jacket of. They both head over to their bed by the freplace. It has a big fire going, thank God.

The girls are making a fesh pot of coffee, some tea, and getting things ready for dinner. The guys start coming in from different directions. Their bringing in three more wheel barrows loaded down which I tell them to just leave it in case we have to move it.

The other men are coming in from the saw mill, and the trees. I ask everyone to have a seat, and let me tell them what is headed our way. I pull up a radar picture of the bomb cyclone coming across the Bering Sea headed our way. I tell them it has pretty strong winds pushing it, but when it hits the water it is going to pick up speed. They are saying it is going to hit us by tomorrow afternoon. There will not being anyone going outside for anything except to go to the trailers.

I tell them I want them to tie everything down they can, bring in all equipment, cover everything they can, and be prepared to do some shoveling tomorrow after it passes. If there is anything you can go ahead and get, do it now, and we'll get dinner on the table.

Esme, Alice, Gianna, Leah, and myself starts to bring over plates, bowls, glasses, trivets, flatware, condiments, pitchers of tea, an water. Gianna, and Leah bring the chicken and dumplings over. Alice and Esme are bringing over the biscuits, and vegetables. Maggie is watching the oven, fixing to bring out the pies.

The men start coming in, and washing up for dinner. Sean has to grab a quick kiss from Maggie, which smacks him on the arm, as she was bringing the pies out of the oven. He just smiles at her, grabbing another kiss, which she blushes as bad as me.

I watch Seth going over, and sitting by Leah. Gianna sits near Charlie, Tom, and Alec. Oh boy, I so don't want to get into that.

Carlisle, Esme, and Alice sit near us. Laurent has struck up a friendship with Alistair, Gary, and Wayne. That's cool. Alistair is awfully quiet. Josh, Harry, Patrick, Jared, Kel, John, and Cal kind of sit off towards the end of the tables. I have so got to fix that; make them feel like more of the group.

Jasper is sitting with Alice, and I can see that is pretty much a done deal. They can't stop looking at each other. Now we got Emmett, and Rose sitting together. Another match, I think.

Everyone get's their plates fixed, and the moans start. I must admit it is absolutely wonderful. It has been quite a while since I've had a corn beef brisket. It is very good. I can hardly wait to try the cobblers Maggie made. Dang, those two need to behave. "Humm," looking a Sean. He looks up at me, and just grins. "Behave, please." "Yes mam," leaning over kissing her on the cheek. Ass...

I fixed Lise, and Baxter some corn beef, mashed a couple potatoes, put some broccoli, and carrots with little juice. They went to town. Even Lise lost her manners. She was gulping it down. To Cute!

I see Edward slipping some meat, and extra potatoes under the table to Baxter. I 'hummm' him, too. He just looks at me, and smiles. Baxter barely takes a breath.

As they finish Maggie goes over grabbing a bunch of bowls, and putting big spoons of different cobblers. She had made peach, and cherry. They look wonderful. Everyone goes over picking up a bowl, and back down to enjoy it. It was all wonderful.

As everyone finishes up, they take their plates, bowls, all over to the sink. I do believe it's Maggie's night to wash, and Alice to dry. Esme starts with Gianna, and Leah putting up leftovers, and wiping everything down.

When it get's kind of calmed down I remind the men to bring in all equipment, and to help get ready for this storm. I tell the guys to also bring in all firewood they can, and to just pile it up. I want them to also check all the generators, and fill them with fuel. I want them also to fill the ATV's, and snow mobiles up.

I ask Jasper, and Peter to take whoever they need to tidy up, and tie down anything they can on the saw mill. To bring as much of the lumber up to the pallets next to the building.

I also get a couple guys to take the ash out of the fireplace, and dump it.

I then sit down with my sat phone calling the weather center to get a more current report. Well, this is just lovely. It has just reached Utiqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska about an hour ago. It is headed towards us at roughly fifty five mph., which means it will reach us probably around three to four in the morning. Just lovely.

Once all the men are back inside I inform them of the new weather report. It has hit Barrow, Alaska, which began it's thirty days of night this past Sunday, about an hour ago. They go off then checking all the windows, preparing the doors, front and back with a tarp hanging over the doorways.

Once all that is done I suggest they all try to get a shower, and retire for the night. I have a feeling it's going to be a very long day tomorrow. The ladies are still preparing some food for tomorrow. They got stuff prepped for vegetable beef soup using bear, and ground beef in one,. They got a big roast in one of the slow cookers for go in the other one. They have two big pots sitting in the refrigerator ready to add the meat to, and set to cooking.

Maggie has had cake cooking for past little bit, and is about ready to take them out of the oven. She is making icing for them right now, getting to finish them, and then put them in the frig. Sean is sitting with her keeping her company. They are to cute!

I look for Edward, and my babies, but they are gone. "Bella, they went out to the trailer," Sean say's with a wicked smile.

"Thanks. Get some sleep, ya'll. Night," I say as I head to my trailer. The snow is really kicking up. I look up, and the sky is filling with some very ugly cloud cover. I duck in the trailer, which is very warm. I find my babies in their bed up front. Baxter is looking out the window, and Lise is buried under the covers. Love my babies. I give them both some loving, and then move over to Edward that is sitting at the table.

He pulls me into him, with my back to his chest. He moves my hair to the side, and starts nibbling on my ear. He knows by now that drives me crazy. Throwing my head back on his shoulder pretty much let's him know I surrender. He taps me on the arm to get up. Once I'm standing he moves in front of me, stopping to make sure the door is locked. He then pulls me towards the bedroom making me sit on the bed while he removes my boots. He then makes me stand so he can remove my clothes. He makes me sit back down while he removes his clothes adding to the growing pile.

He then turns towards me where I have scooted back on the bed. He grabs my legs behind the knees pulling me towards him. I'm near the edge of the bed, and he proceeds to kiss me with everything he has running his hands down my arms, around up my back. He puts one hand in my hair holding me right where he wants me, while the other one roams around my back down to my hips pulling me even closer.

My God, he feels so good. I run my hands down his chest plucking his nipples as I go, down his arms, down to his hips grabbing to pull him even closer to me. It's not enough. I need more. I moan telling him I need more, I need him, please.

He takes us both lowering us to the bed, and his cock is right there, right where I want him...as deep, and as hard as possible. He takes one of his hands running it from top to bottom bringing his fingers to his mouth. "So wet, baby. Is this cause of me? Is it all for me? Tell me, baby," he ask as he moves closer with barely the tip inside.

"Yes, Edward. Don't tease me. I need you," and as I get the last word out he pushes inside, then out, and back in as deep as possible. He moves over, and over, and over deeper, and harder with each thrust. I run my hands down to his buttocks pulling him closer, both of us moaning.

I feel the beginnings of my orgasm coming on already, but he tell's me to hold off as long as possible. He wants more, and he's not through with me yet. I try, but damn, it is coming on strong. He's driving into me harder, and faster when suddenly I feel his cock get just a little bigger, and he tell's me to come. Before I know it I throw my head back, all my muscles tied up in knots, fluttering, then...OMG..."Edward...Edward,"over and over. I can hear him calling my name out, and then suddenly falling on top of me.

He rolls to the side pulling me with him, and we are both doing some heavy panting. He runs his hand through my hair down my back. It feels so good. I love this man.

"I love you, Edward," realizing what I said I look up, and he's looking at me with those beautiful green eyes. "Aahh damn, not because of the great sex," which barely get's out of my mouth when he starts to laugh, and I slap a hand over my mouth. "Damn, that's not what I meant...aahhh, crap. Let me try that again," as he continues to snicker at me.

"Alright love, what did you mean?"

I look at him for the longest, and finally..."Edward, I meant it was wonderful sex, but that is not why I'm in love with you. Even though it is a good selling point," I say with a snicker myself watching his face as he gasps. "I mean silly man, I'm in love with you. I know that was bad timing..."

"Now wait a minute, it's not bad timing any time you want to tell me that you love me. I'm in love with you, Bella. I think I've been in love with you from the first time we went shopping, and we talked just getting to know each other. Oh, silly woman, any time is just damn fine," he say's as he leans down to kiss me.

We go back to just holding each other, when I look at the clock. It's going on twelve thirty, and I lean up to look out the window. The snow is coming down like crazy, and the wind is blowing really hard. Edward rolls over to look. "Damn, love. We're going to get hit hard from the looks of it."

"Yeah, we need to either get shower tonight, or in the morning. We definitely need to get some sleep either way."

"How about we put it off until the morning. I got a feeling there's not going to be much going on tomorrow anyway."

"Yeah," as we both roll over, Edward pulling me close. "Good night. I love you, Edward."

"Good night, love. I love you, too."

I will be the first to admit this four, five hours sleep is for the birds'. I am so freaking tired. I got a feeling it's not going to make a difference in my getting up, but I need to see what is going on, and take my babies out.

I get up going to the bathroom for a few moments, and then head into the kitchen to make some coffee. I take a quick look out the door, which I am very lucky to even get open. The snow has piled up to the side of the door, and the building has got it bad. I go back waking up Edward with a kiss, and tell him to get up as we got a mess waiting on us.

"What? What's going on, love? Oh crap, the snow," he say's as he hops up heading for the door. He opens it up, and see's it is pretty bad. It's still snowing kind of heavy, and I need to get out there. I grab us each a cup of coffee sitting down at the table, and pick up my phone. I call the weather center, and what they have to tell me is not good news.

Apparently when it hit the Bering Sea from Russia it picked up speed, and mass. It didn't do much to slow it down, or effect it's size when it hit land at Kotzebue, Alaska. That's between Nome, and Barrow, Alaska. It headed inland from there headed straight for Fairbanks. Considering we're about one hundred twenty miles outside of Fairbanks, and the size of the storm we were going to get clobbered.

It had lost some of it's speed to about forty mph, but that just meant if it kept this speed it would still be here for a bit. It had not lost much in size, and liked about another hour and a half, to two hours until we got the eye of the cyclone over us. They were essentially telling me it was going to continue at this rate probably all day, and still steady snow fall continuing.

Edward and I proceeded to get a shower with some loving thrown in there; gentle touches, kissing, but nothing else. We knew we had a lot to do today, and we could continue this later tonight.

We both got dressed for the extreme cold, as there was going to be a lot of shoveling of snow for one thing. I was wearing jeans, long sleeved t-shirt, pullover sweater, thermal socks, and my black boots.

Edward was wearing jeans, t-shirt, blue flannel shirt, thermal socks, and his black boots. Kind of matched in our dressing. To Cute!

I got a jacket, and boots for Lise. Edward wouldn't let me dress Baxter as he said he was equipped for this type of weather. Edward did put on his harness, and a leash. He said to give him Lise, and he would take them for a short trip to do their morning ablutions. But first we had to get out of the trailer. He handed me Lise, opened the door, and started shoving the snow off the steps with his boot. He then picked me up by the waist, and carried me practically to the building. Baxter came bounding out like there was no problems.

I gave Edward a kiss, and he took my babies out to do their thing. I walked in to find the place was almost a mad house. The girls were in the process of fixing breakfast, the men were dressing for the day, and I went to get us some coffee. I asked the girls if everything was alright, and they said that it would all be ready in about thirty more minutes. They would then get the soups to cooking. I asked them to put me a little eggs, and whatever else on a small plate for my babies.

I went to sit down, and Edward came in shortly after. He was covered in snow. He said it was blowing like crazy out there. He sat down with his coffee, and I went to get my babies breakfast. Lise was shaking like a leaf on a tree, and Baxter was as covered as bad as Edward. They were both laying down by the fire.

I was looking around to make sure everyone was inside. Carlisle, and Esme were just coming in. Emmett, and Rose were sitting having coffee. Everyone else was getting coffee, or just standing around talking.

I got all their attention. I told them I did not want anyone going outside by theirself. If they did to please let someone know where they were going. I told them that we still had the biggest part of the day in this storm. It was just now passing the eye over us, which meant we had about another four, or more hours of it. It was still going to continue to snow, but not as hard, and we would lose the high winds. When it did pass I wanted to see if we had enough daylight hours left to get a hand on the piling snow around the trailers, and doors.

Everyone sat down to breakfast, which was scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, and french toast. It was all very good.

We were having vegetable beef soup with ground bear and beef in one, and cut up roast in the other. They were also making cornbread. Maggie made two layer cakes, so we were set for dinner.

By the time breakfast was over the winds were howling outside, and they went to look. The snow was falling like crazy, and the winds were howling.

Not much was going to get done until this storm passed, so everyone was sitting around just talking. A few guys went to lay back down, which sounded like a good idea to me. But I continued to sit along with everyone else. We talked about what we were going to do once the storm has passed, and then we talked about what I had planned for this place. I showed them a picture of the house, and told Emmett I had the blueprints for it, and the triple garage.

I showed them the building I found for the idea of the longhouse. They all loved it. I showed them ideas I found for the cabins, the small blacksmith shop, the green house, the garbage incinerator, along with some place for compost without drawing in the wildlife.

Before we knew it it was going on two in the afternoon. We took a break, and a few people went to see how the weather was outside. The winds were still going strong, and the snow was coming down like crazy. Definitely going to be shoveling. Drifts were forming around the trailers, the tarps covering everything were going to need to be dumped. Just lots of fun.

Someone offers to take my babies out for a break, and I head over to get something to drink. Suddenly Gary comes running back inside towards Edward. He's holding Lise, but I don't see Baxter. Edward looks towards me, and then comes over to tell me Baxter ran off in the snow. Gary couldn't find him, and didn't want to risk Lise. Edward along with a few other men with guns were going out to find Baxter.

I just grabbed Lise, and fell to the floor. Not one of my babies. Please...

Well, we're going to stop right there. I'm running for cover. I so can't stand the thoughts of one of my animals being hurt & with all the new laws, and this crap with 'Vick' just about makes me sick.

Just hold on, and keep reading. Got lots going on.

Please let me know what ya'll think.

Thanks muches...
