Hey you guys so I know it's been too long and for that I am sorry but if you are following my other story then you already know why that it is an in short, I lost a brother last year and life has just been one big depressing roller-coaster ever since.

What most of you don't know is that my brother that died his name was actually Shannon that's where I got the idea for Shannon's name in the story I always like my brother's name but he was still alive when I named the baby in this story. Shannon was my oldest brother and also my very own superman he rescued me when I almost drowned at the beach when I was about 8 years old.

I can only promise that I will finish my stories just can't promise when that will be just know that when I update its because I found the motivation to do so and it's not often that I have motivation to do much of anything especially since I'm a busy single mom of four girls that keep me busy especially my oldest who does softball.

I don't think this story will have many more chapters maybe a few and it will be complete I wanted it to be longer but with how I've been feeling this past year I just kind of want to finish it and be done with it. Like someone pointed out I have been dragging this story on for a few years now so I will be sure to end it may not be a great ending though.

I really don't have any fight left in me from negative reviewers who don't even have a story under their name but are so quick to criticize anyone who tires. Not caring if the writer has stuff going on outside of writing. But hey it is what it is and I'm over it.

In the last chapter Edward had a surprise for Bella which was her mother but you guys know me and know how much I love adding a twist so just read to see what happens. Tell me what you think and what you would like to see before I end this story.

I hope everyone is staying safe and protecting themselves from COVID and if you've lost loved ones I am sending love and light your way because I know this past year has not been the best for everyone so continue to stay safe.

So be sure to read, review and enjoy.

"Damon, I just got a call from Jasper and he believes he may have found the location of where Edward took Bella!" I called out to Damon I knew he was downstairs I had just laid Sidney in her crib when I got the call.

"So where are we headed?" He asked coming into the room.

"Biloxi Mississippi."

"Mom, what are you doing here?" I asked my mother she had her head down and there was something off about her I just couldn't put my finger on it. "Mom, what's wrong why won't you look at me?"

I tried to move closer to her until Edward blocked me from getting close.

"Bella, wait you can't come close to her yet until she gains control."

"What do you mean until she gains control?"

"Well, you see love when I decided to bring your mother as a witness, I knew that you would probably want her to live with us to help with the baby. Well, she started asking a ton of questions and while we were driving here, she touched me and realized how cold my body was its crazy because it was almost exactly how it happened that day in the car with you before you knew what I was.

So, I told her the truth and once she realized she could become like me and never age again she asked that I change her and promised that she would be able to help me to win you back. See Bella I did all of this for you, for us so we could be a family with Alexander."

I looked between Edward and my mother in disbelief. "How, could you ever think I would want this life for my mother Edward? We've kept her in the dark so she could live a life free of the supernatural and yet here you bring her into this life and make her a vampire.

Mom what were you thinking and what about Phil did you stop to think about your husband and how he would feel because now you can't go back to him. I can't believe you would be that selfish to not think about him Phil is a great guy that really loves you and would do anything for you and I thought you were in love with him?"

I watched my mom as she looked up into my eyes from across the room and it was scary to see her with red eyes and in that instant, I realized I had lost my mother whether she continues to live as a vampire of if she dies, I will never consider her my mother again.

"Honey I do love Phil I just love the thought of not ageing anymore and not having to worry about wrinkles or grey hair and I can live forever it's like I've found the fountain of youth and I will never get sick. I thought this would make you happy Bella to have me with you forever."

It no longer mattered to me what my mom said because I realized how entirely selfish, she has been my entire life and my heart broke for Phil who I know is probably stressed and worried sick I just couldn't believe that Edward would drag my mother into this and that she would even think about leaving the life that she was so happy with behind especially when I moved to rainy Forks just so she could fly around with her new husband that she claimed she was madly in love with.

"Bella, love I did this for you I thought you would be happy now you can have your mother forever and when Alexander gets older if he wants to become a vampire to, we can change him. I thought this would make you happy we could be one happy family never changing."

"No, you will not turn my son into the monster that you are you will not touch him."

"Your son? I thought you said he could be ours Bella if that's how you feel maybe I should kill the little bastard now."

"If you want me to marry you tomorrow you will not harm one hair on my baby's head. You will not take him from me or I would never forgive you do you hear me."

"Fine I won't touch him but you will marry me and your mom will be our witness we will wait until she gains control before, we leave Alexander with her so we can have a honeymoon and while we are on our honeymoon, I will change you so that you can gain control away from the baby. Until then the two of you can stay in here and you can think about what you said because I will not be disrespected again. Now Renee let's leave Bella and Alexander alone."

Once Edward slammed the door behind him, I fell to the floor crying and praying Nik would hurry and find me before it was too late. "Please Nik, I need you hurry." I whispered into the room.

Damon, Jasper, Emmett, Peter and I had just landed in Biloxi when I felt this overwhelming crushing grief that I knew belonged Bella and not me. I was so much that it literally knocked me down.

The guys hurried to help me up asking me what was wrong.

"It's Bella, we have to hurry and get to her I feel like we are running out of time."

"It's probably an hour run from here tops but the problem is getting close enough to save Bella without Edward hearing our thoughts. Something tells me that if we just run right in, he may hurt her or Shannon and we don't want that and we also don't know what he's done to Renee?" Jasper said.

"I can get close enough without him knowing I'm there if you think about it, he used to hate when I would come visit because I could keep my mind silent. I can get close enough to see or hear what's going on without him even knowing I'm there." Peter said.

"If you get close enough to get to Bella, get her and Shannon out of there so we can kill Edward no matter what he dies today we end this once and for all. Whatever we do we have to hurry because I don't think we have much time and be sure you watch out for Stefan because who knows he may be nearby as well."

With a plan in mind, we started running as fast as we could "Bella, I'm coming love, just be strong a little while longer."

As I sat on the floor, I tried to think of a plan that would help get me and Shannon out of this situation it was only so much I could do with a one-month-old and it was no telling how far the next house was and I didn't know an exact location.

Shannon started crying again and I knew it was because he was missing his father and his sister. They've never been separated and I was worried about how Sidney was doing without me and Shannon. I stood up and walked to the crib to check on him and picked him up while looking out the window.

"Don't worry baby boy daddy will find us let's just hope his not too late."

As I looked out the window, I noticed something or should I say someone standing in a tree with his finger to his mouth telling me to not give him away. I felt so much relief at seeing Peter that tears just started falling from my eyes. I just nodded my head and held Shannon closer and watched as he jumped from the tree and ran off and I knew that Nik was close I could feel him and I finally felt hope.

The rest of us stood about six miles away from the property that Edward was keeping Bella while we waited for Peter to return.

"Remember whatever happens don't make a move until Bella and Shannon are out of the way do, we all understand this?" I looked everyone in their eyes making sure they each understood me and watched as they all nodded.

Pretty soon we all looked up as we heard Peter returning.

"Ok, so I saw Bella and Shannon and she saw me she knows that help is on the way he has her on the second floor and there was no way I would have been able to get to her without alerting him of my presence because he would have heard me opening the window. I didn't see her mother so I'm not even sure if she is alive because I only heard Bella and the baby's heartbeat."

"Did they look ok were they hurt?" I asked.

"They looked fine she just looked scared but I saw complete relief wash over her once she saw me. The question is how do we get to her without Edward trying to stop us?"

"What about my wolf do you think he would be able to hear my thoughts if I went up as a wolf?" I asked thinking of anything at this point.

Jasper spoke up "that could work but the question is how will you get close enough to Bella to protect her from Edward?"

"I don't have to get close to Bella, Peter can come with me and I can distract Edward while he gets Bella and Shannon out of there and maybe that will give you guys enough time to come and attack.

"You know that just may work but whatever we do we have to be quick about because if Edward has gone this far there is not telling how far he will go and I don't want Bella or Shannon to be the ones caught in the crossfire and who knows what he may do."

"At this point we need to move quickly because the longer she is in there the less chance we have of saving her before he does something stupid. So, let's head out if Peter is not back with Bella and Shannon in five minutes then you guys come on don't wait a second over five minutes."

I continued to watch the window waiting for Peter to return after a few minutes I started to think that I had imagined him until I saw a beautiful wolf the color of snow running across the field and I would recognize him in a pack of all white wolves. My mate has come to save us. I watched as he got closer and looked up at me and I could feel his relief as well as my own. He disappeared a few minutes later.

Soon after he disappeared, I saw Peter once again in the tree this time he was leaning over towards the window and I went to try and help him while also keeping Shannon tightly in my hold. Once we got the window up and opened, I passed Shannon over to Peter I knew I could trust him with my son and as he was pulling me out of the window, I felt a tug on my foot and turned around to look into Edwards desperate eyes.

I was being pulled between two supernatural beings and I tried kicking at Edward so that he would let me go but he squeezed my ankle and I heard a snap causing me to let go of Peter and felt myself falling to the ground and all I could do was close my eyes and brace for impact.

"Did you miss me, Bella?" I heard Damon asked and looked into his blue eyes thankful that he caught me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and started crying relieved to be free of Edward.

I knew that Nik would kill him and for that I was thankful I just wanted to get home to my daughter and reunite her with her brother. I didn't know what was going to happen to my mom and I honestly didn't care she made her decision.

Damon blurred away with me in his arms and carried me to a car where Peter was already waiting and playing with Shannon. As soon as Damon had me in the car Peter handed me my son and I felt like I could breathe again. I knew Nik would be arriving in a few moments and for that I was grateful.

I watched as both Damon and Peter looked up and I saw my love walking towards me and I wanted to run to him but my ankle wouldn't let me but I didn't have to worry because once he saw us, he blurred to us.

"Bella, love I'm so glad you're ok. I'm sorry he broke your ankle but at least we know that will heal quickly with some of my blood."

The second he put his arms around us I broke down crying just so happy to be with him again the pain from being separated was hurting too much and now I felt immense relief.

"It's ok love I got you let's go home and see our baby girl who missed you dearly."

So, what did you guys think. I know you want to know what happened with Edward and Renee. Well, I guess you will just have to wait and see.

I will say this much I honestly thought about letting Edward bite Bella and then just end the chapter with that but I didn't have the heart to do you guys like that.

This chapter made me a little nervous because I didn't know which way I was going to go with it. Sometimes my mind and fingers really do take over so I really do hope you guys liked it.

In the next chapter we found out what happens to Renee and where Stefan was through all of this notice, he was absent but it was for a reason and you will find out in the next chapter but I would love to hear some of you guys theories as to where he may have been.

I'm not making any promises on when I will update just know that I will do the best I can but regardless the story will get finished even if I have to kill everyone off in a big ball of fire.

As I stated above that there aren't many more chapters to this story left maybe three or four at the most and I will do my best to update as soon as I can I just want to give you guys a great ending for being such great, awesome and loyal followers. I love and thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart.

I ask that everyone send positive vibes my way and positive messages will help anything to help get me out of this funk.

So as always be sure to leave a review and let me know what you think.

Until next time...
