I smiled at Maggie who was looking at Raymond who was cooing happily I took him before saying I will say goodbye when I leave tomorrow morning but now I am tired I have to be up in 4 hours to go to the airport so I will make my leave I took my trunk and Raymond and going to my rooms I put Raymond on the bed before laying down beside him and singing him to sleep. I woke up at dawn to find Raymond gone I got up and found Maggie on the couch with him rocking him to a soft lullaby she was humming to him quietly to get him to sleep.

I bathed and dressed before taking Raymond and bathing him letting Maggie pick out his clothes she dressed him as I finished drying and brushing my hair I packed my bags and drove back to the airport I sat down with Raymond and burped him carefully before we took off I let him sleep when we landed back in the states I got my car from the valet and drove to my house in Gatlinburg Tennessee I lived across from a family with a son who was 16. I had gotten a job as a teacher and I made myself look 20 as I had the movers bringing stuff into my nice big house.

I was going to start teaching in two weeks but for now I was decorating my house Raymond toddled about jabbering happily to me as I played with him lovingly on the floor. The house was child proofed with latches and things to keep him out of trouble I had found a woman who could watch him and follow my instructions about his care. I got to the school at 7:45 AM and prepared for the first class assigning seats to everyone in the class. I had moved the tables into a wide U shape around the room so that I could get to know the students on the first day of classes.

I sighed sat on the stool in the opening I talked to every student before the bell rang at Lunch I went out to my car and grabbed the picnic basket I was walking back into my classroom and was paying attention to the fact that the door was open I walked into the room and saw the neighbor from across the street in the classroom I walked to my desk and set my basket down and looked at Emmett saying "why are you here Mr. McCarthy it is lunch time and you should be at lunch with your peers her told me he knew I had moved in across the street and wanted to make my acquaintance before school really started.

I taught class every day and then I would pick up my son every day I taught for three years at the high school Emmett would come over after school and we would talk he didn't know I had a child he came over almost every day when he turned 18 he asked me to Marry him and I told him about my soon who had looked 5 years old Emmett didn't mind he still wanted to marry me as soon as it was permitted by the church I quit teaching the week before our wedding and finished up the final preparation for the wedding I had my hair styled in curls down my back and we said our vows he kissed me and we had the reception before going back to my house where he had a trunk of stuff until after the honeymoon was over. Raymond was well behaved and we talked before it got dark we went to our room and I bathed before I joined him in bed in a navy blue robe with silver embroidery on it and a matching nightgown of the same color and pattern.

Our wedding night was different because Emmett had never done it before I told him to lay back and I took charge finding the perfect rhythm to get us both the finish line before we both laid on the bed side-by-side we talked about nothing in particular as we snuggled before we both fell in to a deep restful sleep on the bed happily when I woke up the next morning I made dinner breakfast and took it to him we were like to wild animals the whole two weeks only stopping long enough to eat and sleep Raymond would eat and then his step-grandmother would take him 2 days a week during those two weeks we were happy it wasn't until the first Monday after our honeymoon that I realized I had missed my period. Emmett took Raymond out to the soda and Ice Creamery for a sundae while I stayed home redoing the math in my head.

I spent the next 3 months trying to figure out how to tell Emmett I finally just decided to throw a party and I invited our friends and family it I gave Emmett a box that had baby clothes inside of it he opened it and was confused until he removed the tissue paper and pulled out the socks, booties, onesies and dresses his father had to explain the hint to him by nudging him and looking at my softly swelling belly I was already starting to show at 4 months I figured I probably was going to have twins when I finally had them. Emmett finally grasped what I was saying and smiled at me he spun me around and kissed me lovingly we went to bed that night and made passionate love as he filled me with seed we both came and the collapsed.

The months after were painful but I would not have given them up we went to the St. Cecilia's hospital where I gave birth to Emmett James McCarthy Jr, and Rachelle Marie McCarthy both were a healthy 7 lb. 8 oz., and 18 inches long. Emmett stayed with me the whole time. Emmett took up work as a hunter and I cared for the children I was cleaning house one day when there was a knock on the door I went and opened it to find Obadiah Stain the Sheriff I was shocked but greeted him happily asking what was the pleasure of this visit.

My face fell when he told me that some hikers had come across Emmett's pack and the remains of a dead bear he told me that there was too much blood for Emmett to have survived the mauling and that he was sorry I started hitting him crying that this was a sick joke and that it wasn't funny he told me it was not a joke he wished it was but it wasn't funny he told me it was not a joke he wished it was but it wasn't. We buried and empty casket in the ground and I left town after selling the house and packing the car the kids were in the back Raymond was the most well behaved her had been in a while he helped me grab his toys and pack them. I settled in a town that was cloudy all the time and I sent Emmett's parents boxes of photographs and when the recorder was perfected I sent tapes to them.

I watched the children grow into teens as we moved when they turned 16 we settled in a place called Forks Washington the children met and fell in love I worked as a librarian in the town and had been living there in 1958 when a new family moved into the town and at the hospital I had changed my appearance and I now had green eyes and long wavy black hair Raymond and the twins came over often Raymond had not married the twins marriages had been very brief their spouses died and they all moved into my huge house I was making dinner when I cut my hand badly Raymond refused to let me heal it he took me to the emergency room and I was sitting waiting with Raymond when the nurse came in the room to ask questions.

It wasn't even 2 minutes after the nurse left when the doctor came in I was shocked so much so that my mouth hung open and my eyes bugged out a little I composed myself before either of them saw my look of complete and utter shock. Carlisle stopped dead and looked at me a moment before he composed himself and cleaned up my hand before he was going to stitch it up and wrap it in clean gauze giving me gauze to take home he asked if he could speak with me before I was sent home with painkillers for the impending pain that would come. I told Raymond to wait out in the lobby and then we would go home he kissed my cheek a chaste loving gesture my son had learned when he was in his youth and he had trouble with expressing himself to others and to me he was gifted with Telekinesis, Teleportation and Telepathy.

Raymond could only do it irregularly he had stopped time a few times I was working with him on it and his teleportation so they could control where he appeared we did it in the house with the twins they would buzz when he teleported in and was caught by them. His teleportation with practice was silent now like mine. Ray left the room and went to the lobby Carlisle looked at me and said "you married and had a son?" I could hear the accusation in his voice which made me flinch momentarily.

I felt Ray in my head trying to listen in on what was going on in the room I started to tell him to stay out of my head when Carlisle kissed me. Ray raged in my head and I told him to bite his tongue before I stopped and told Carlisle "I am not married that is my son Raymond he's 27 years old. I didn't marry until 1931 and any ways you have a wife and a family I had none of those when you left me with the news that I would never see you again and with the knowledge that I was going to..." I froze before finishing the sentence and causing strife in my life that I did not need it was already hard enough.

"Going to what Ms. McCarthy?" Carlisle asked me raising his perfect blonde eyebrow at me with a challenging glare I huffed and smoothed my good hand down my front.

"when you left in the December of 1930 I was upset but in January 25th 1931 I realized that I needed to find you and I tried but I failed to find you I went to Ireland and spent some time with friends before I can back to the states I don't owe you an explanation or anything about my past I thank you for the stitches" I said. I went to the door and put my hand of the door knob looking at him I sighed looking at him I said "I am a widow and my children are grown up Raymond is the oldest."

I opened the door and left the room I paid and then I had Raymond drive me home from the hospital. Rachelle had finished dinner it was on the table when they pulled into the garage I got out of the car and then went to the living room sitting on the couch with a tray of tea and cookies. I talked with the kid before we went to the table.

I sat next to my son at the dinner table as Rachelle put the food on the table I was eating slowly when there was a knock on the door I got up and went to the door I opened the door looking at the person on the other side of the large heavy dark wood door. I saw Carlisle standing there I sighed looking at him I said "what do you want Carlisle I am in the middle of dinner with my family." I waited for him to speak wondering what he could possibly have to say that hasn't already been said between us.

"I was doing the math in my head." I closed the door behind me as I stepped out onto the porch creating a barrier around us to keep Raymond out. Carlisle looked at me curiously as we stood on the porch of my 12 bedroom house with 14 bathrooms and a large library it was 2 miles outside of the town borders so I had privacy it was on a 10 acre square of land.

I grew an indoor garden where I would go and pick the all of the vegetables for the day in my vegetable apron. I would also pick fruit after I put the vegetables away in the icebox in the kitchen I made jam that I sold at the local community center with my fresh biscuits as well I knew how to make the real down south southern breakfast biscuits.

I also made pies that I sold I opened a shop that sold homemade fruit preserves and Jams I also sold hot cups of coffee in large or small for $.25 for small or $.40 for large. I did a lot if business in the town I made homemade meals for those who worked stupid hours and or were not married. Carlisle looked at me and said "I was doing the math if Raymond is 27 and he was born after I left you either were sleeping with others or he is my son so which is it?" he angrily asked me.

I huffed and said I sure as hell wasn't sleeping around so that leaves you with only 2 options 1: you leave and never return and I leave the state to reduce the shame or 2: you get to know the man your son has become and we don't speak unless we are required to speak and my son can decide if he wants to speak to you AFTER I tell him who you really are to him. Raymond knew a different man as father so who knows of he could accept you as the man who left before he was born. I am blocking any one from hearing us while we talk if you come back in 2 hours we can talk more about this topic and what you want to do before I tell Raymond he is your son he actually is in college he's going to be a doctor.

Carlisle kissed me before he left and went back to his house I went to my room after dinner and sat at my vanity looking at myself I brushed out my hair putting on my dark blue silk robe and night gown with silver embroidery on in. I removed my makeup and jewelry putting the jewelry in its box I knelt in the small alcove and prayed with my Rosary I went back to the living room and realized that the kids had gone to bed. I used my gifts to block their hearing and I waited for Carlisle on the couch. He arrived exactly 2 hours after the time I said and knocked softly on the door I answered the door and let him in I went to the mast suite where I lived and sat in the small couch in the small private living room. The house was built in 1945 it did not have the gas lights for lighting.

I had bought it before it was built and would keep it in the family I would have to change my name in 5 years before I changed my appearance and moved back into the town with a new name and phone number. I had the house decorated nicely my suite was modified from the regular in-laws suite it had a large bedroom, a walk-in closet, bathroom, nursery, office and library. I sat up straight and looked at Carlisle who was watching me with interest as I sipped my tea from my cup. I kept hot water boiling for when I needed it I poured water in the teapot too steep for me to drink when I was thirsty or entertaining guests with my good China.

My house had 2 kitchens one in the in-laws suite and one in the back of the house both had large pantry's to stock up on foods and teas. I pulled my robe tighter around my torso as I looked at Carlisle who was watching me as I sat sipping tea before I said "I am not married and I work at the library Monday through Saturday and I have Sundays off. I go to church with the kids and then I make dinner the boys go to college my daughter is a daycare teacher for ages 1-5 years old."

"Raymond is studying to be a doctor he's going to college full time he'll be headed back to college in 2 weeks he is attending Yale University. I won't see him again for 6-8 months while he takes classes he leave for college in 2 days" I said looking at Carlisle who was watching me as I sat sipping tea. I sighed and looked at Carlisle who said nothing before he stood up he picked me up and carried me to my very comfortable bed which stood adjacent to the window.

I yelped looking at him as he placed me gently on the bed before joining me on the bed and pushing me back on the bed as he kissed me and touched my body over my nightgown before he started to remove it from my body he touched and felt me all over kissing me before he finally spread my legs and forced himself into me as I groaned at the intrusion and the stretching he was causing me to do to fit him. I turned my face away as he continued to fuck me as I tried to stop myself from coming he was to good and I came 5X before he finished kissing me he laid there as I fell asleep. When I woke up I yelped as I came face to face with Carlisle who kissed me before making love to me again.

I got up going to the bathroom I washed and then when I came out of the bathroom Carlisle was gone I made breakfast and the kids ate before heading off to work. Emmett and Rachelle were employed in town Emmett was a mechanic and Rachelle was a daycare teacher. After the younger kids left I helped Raymond pack his 1955 car with his stuff he was heading to Yale University after we finished he had already said his goodbyes to his siblings. "Raymond I need to tell you something." I sighed before I continued to speak "your father was not the man who raised you your father's name is Carlisle I met him back in 1900 and we weren't able to be together because I was a nun."

Raymond looked at me and said "I have known that the man who raised me wasn't my father but I didn't mind my father's name doesn't matter I am glad you told me though. So what does he look like?"

I looked at Raymond and said "what does who look like?"

"Ugh mom what does my real father look like is he smart?" Raymond asked looking at me with interest as I put the last small box in the car. I was about to respond when Carlisle came driving up and got out of his car and came over he nodded and I blushed before I cleared my throat.

"Raymond this is Carlisle your father have you never wondered why you aren't aging and you stopped aging after a short few years." I looked at Carlisle who was watching us and elbowed him he looked at Raymond shaking his hand and then they loaded up the rest of the car with his school stuff.

"So how did you get into Yale University it's hard to get in when you are a freshman they have a full roster in a matter of weeks when you're a freshman at the college." Carlisle asked looking at Raymond who said nothing for a few minutes as he thought of a reply.

"I got into Yale University and Harvard University but I decided to attend Yale University I applied for both and with my list of extracurricular activities and my grades being all A's I was accepted into the University with a full ride scholarship." Raymond looked proudly at me and I smiled at him as he came over and hugged me kissing my temple Raymond was a good son he had been with me except when he went to school he was now a sophomore in college he had been home for Christmases and Easters and even Thanksgivings he always helped cut the roast or turkey we always had Turkey and Ham.

I always started cooking early in the morning but Thanksgiving was a couple months away his classes ran from July 25th- November 15th and then they went until December 18th. He resumed school on January 3rd I had not even gone shopping yet I would need to shop for everything we would need for the holidays I was having a few friends for Thanksgiving Day and then for Christmas. I am very good friends with several supernatural creatures from all walks of life.

Carlisle nodded looking at Raymond who said nothing as he watched Carlisle and me I sighed and looked at my son who was a smart man he was head of his class at Yale University he had a future he had a great apartment near campus with a balcony it had a large bedroom and walk-in closet with deluxe kitchen it had 1 and a half bathrooms with a tub.

I had arranged the apartment for him I had bought the building and rented the apartment to students or families. Raymond closed the trunk of the car and stood back clapping the dust from his hands before kissing me on the temple hugging me he shook Carlisle's hand he told him they could talk when he came home for the day before and the day after Thanksgiving he would head back to university on Saturday. I went into the house and grabbed the lunch chest Raymond grabbed the chest and put it on the front seat and buckled it in he put his dog on the floor with it's trunk of accessories and it's bed.

All of the dog's food and accessories were in the large wood trunk which sat on the floor of the black 1955 car. Raymond's dog was named Titus he was a miniature French bulldog he was all black. I had given each of the kids a dog as a pet. Raymond thanked me kissing me on the cheek he got into the car and headed towards Yale University. I went into the house and made a sandwich I ate it at the counter watching Carlisle who was watching me curiously as I finished eating and then I washed-up the plate and cups from breakfast.
