Well here is the next chapter. I hope you all have been enjoying. At this moment I am thinking that I will go to chapter 25 and most likely do an epilogue and be done with this story for a while because I do have others I am also wanting to work on. I hope you all enjoy this new chapter and please review. I own nothing but original characters and any mistakes. Also its my birthday so reviews would be an a some present.

The day had finally come for us to go back home. We were all packed and ready to go. The guys had packed the cars and we were doing one last walk though the house before we headed out. Once we were sure we were good to go we all headed out and I locked up the house.

"Alright everyone in the cars you came in and we will meet at the airport." I told everyone and we all started to load into the cars. The drive to the airport was not to bad and we were there quickly. We got out of the cars and headed off to be able to get on our flight.

"I don't know if I want to go back" Caroline told us. All of us girls were setting waiting together.

"I don't either" Rebekah was quick to add.

"Well at least we have some weddings to plan when we get back. Plus, maybe an awesome graduation party as well."

"That is true but there is so much drama back home" Rebekah said.

"Well we could always go somewhere else after the weddings. Nik promised to show Caroline the world. We have homes all over the world we might as well enjoy them."

"This is why you are one of my favorites Bella you always know what to do."

"Well I wouldn't go that far Rebekah, but I guess that I do alright."

"Where should we go next?" Lilly spoke up for the first time.

"I'm not sure but I think as long as we are all together wherever we are or go will be home because it will be full of our loved ones."

"I agree with Bella" Caroline said. "But I would not mind going to Paris as well." We all laughed and then were told our flight was ready. So, we went to get on the plane.

The plane ride was nothing different we just talked and laughed and started some more wedding planning now that we had two to plan.

"You know I really hope that I am the next one" Rebekah told us girls.

"You know I could help that along."

"Well get on it would you."

"I'm all over it." I tell her with a laugh.

"All over what?" Stefan ask as the guys walked up to us.

"Nothing really brother."

"You're up to something little sister." Damon said as he set by me.

"Only because I learned how from my big brothers."

"Well played little sister well played."

"Well thank you." We all laughed and just enjoyed the rest of our flight.

By the time we landed and left the airport it was already getting late and by the time we made it home it was time to just go to bed. Elijah, Lilly and I walked into the house and put our bags down.

"Well I am ready to just shower and go to bed" I told them both.

"I am as well I will just unpack in the morning."

"Alright good night sweetie."

"Good night mom and dad."

"Good night sweetheart." She walked up to her room and then we walked up to our room after her. Once in the room I shut the door behind me.

"I'm going to get a shower quick."

"Alright my love" I left into the bathroom and was quick to get ready and then shower because I was ready to just sleep. Once done with the shower I wrapped up in a fluffy towel and went back to the room.

"Your clothes are on the bed love I will be right back." I walked over to the bed and slipped into the clothes Elijah had put out for me. Then climbed into bed. Elijah came out of the bathroom soon after with wet hair and wearing pajama pants. He came over and climbed into bed with me. I laid down and cuddled into his side.

"Good night Elijah I love you."

"I love you, sleep well my love."

Then I slowly fell into a calm and peaceful sleep after such a long day of travelling.

The next morning, I woke up to find the bed empty next to me and then looked at the clock to see that it was almost noon already. I guess I had been a lot more tired then I had thought I was. I got out of bed and made my way to get dressed. Once I was ready for the day, I went downstairs to find the others. I had put on some leggings and one of Elijah's shirts with my hair in a ponytail. I had decided on something comfortable for today since we would be home all day. I walked downstairs and did not see Elijah or Lilly. So, I made my way around until I found them both in the kitchen with Ester.

"Good morning love would you like some food?" Elijah asked pointing to the food.

"I would, help Ester."

"Hello Bella, I was hopping we could go for our walk today after you have eaten of course."

"That will be fine." I had a filling where this was going but was not going to say anything in front of Elijah and Lilly no one else needed to know anything just yet. I was quick to eat some food before I got up and walked to Elijah.

"Thank you for the food it was amazing. I will see you in a little while I love you."

"You are most welcome; I love you to." I gave him a kiss and kissed Lilly's forehead as I walked by her.

"See you in a little sweetie."

"Bye mom" she said and they both told Ester bye as we walked out. I slipped on some shoes from the closet and we walked out the door.

"Where would you like to go?" I asked her.

"You can pick" I lead her away from the house and to a little meadow not to far away but far enough no one would overhear us.

"This is beautiful how did you find it?" It was a beautiful meadow surrounded by trees and had flowers all over the place plus a little stream on the side that lead to a mini lake which if followed connected right to the falls.

"My mother use to bring me here when I was a little girl. After she died, I would come here to feel close to her."

"It really is lovely."

"IT is, not many know about it so we will be safe to talk here."

"A lot has happened from the last time that we talked."

"Yes, a lot has so what part do you want to talk about?"

"How do you think we should go about the others?"

"I have a filling they will not be to happy once they know the whole truth. Although I still think a few things we wait on telling them because of what they are, and I don't know if it will happen."

"I agree no point of telling them and possibly messing up something that we shouldn't."

"Exactly because I really don't know what will happen and there is always free will we don't want to mess with all of it."

"So, what do we tell them?"

"We start with you crating the vampires and turning your family into the original family and then we slowly add in a few other things that has already happened at this point. Then depending on how they take all of that we add one or two things that has not happened yet, then we can take it from there."

"How do you think they will do with that?"

"Well one of two ways they are going to take it all no problems or they completely freak out and are all and at me for not telling them sooner. Although they will not see it this way, but I really did do all I have done to protect them as much as I can. Plus, I had no idea about the family when I firs met Elijah. I was with him because I loved him. I didn't even know who he was at first he waited to tell me to keep me safe."

"I think they will understand why you did not tell them about it all right away. I know trust is so important to all of them and you, but you all need to understand that sometimes things happen in a way where we need to not tell our loved once everything because there are somethings that hurt them more knowing then not knowing. Plus, there is always a right time for everything not our timing but the universes perfect time. I know everything you do is for the ones you love Bella, but it is alright to do something for you every now and again. The next few weeks are going to be busy and intense with all that is going on but when all is said and done and you and Elijah have had your second wedding I am sending you two on a much needed trip just the two of you. Where you can relax and enjoy. Where you are not worried about everyone else all of the time."

"Thank you that is very kind and not necessary… wait you knew Elijah and I were already married?"

"Darling I'm a mother I know all."

"Well thank you for all that you have done. You're not nearly as bad as I thought that you would be."

"Your welcome, and truth be told I'm gland Elijah married you. I could not have picked a better wife for him myself. I am really just glad that that none of my boys ended up with Tatia or her two doppelgangers. Those relationships would have never worked out at all."

"Well I am glad as well."

"Are you ready to head back my dear?"

"Just a few moments more, I'm enjoying this."

"Aright then."

"You know my mother died when I was just a little girl still. After that, the only mother figure I had in my life was her friend who worked for us. Until now I have never really felt like I have never really felt like I have really truly had a mother but now with you I feel like I do."

"Well I am glad to have a wonderful daughter like you come into our family."

"Thank you, Ester."

"You are welcome dear." After that we slowly made our way back to the house and as we got back could tell the others were here. Ester and I looked at each other before walking in.

"What's going on?" I asked them.

"Elena and Edward joined teams" Caroline said, and we all looked at one another.
