Chapter 21 - The Catch
Hi guys. I'm sorry I haven't updated in like forever. I've been working vigorously on finishing my novel. I want to heads up everyone that I'm going on vacation, and no internet access is available. I will post as soon as I get back. I'll work on a nice long chapter on vacation.

I fell asleep through the whole flight. I woke with Edward's arm wrapped around me. I snuggled closer, only to be broken up by the voice of the flight attendant, " We'll be landing in London in fifteen minutes. Seat belts on everyone." Why in the world would they put someone on the intercom if their voice is that nasally?
As soon as we were out of the airport, I asked, " So, how are we going to get a car?" He smiled and answered, " Simple. We'll buy one." I could feel my eyes bug out at the notion. Buy one? Yes, we did end up buying one – a Ferrari.
Edward drove us to a small bed and breakfast in Applebrooke. The room is covered in floral designs. I ask as I unpack, " Do you know who to contact?" He chuckled and said, " You didn't read the whole article. At the bottom was a phone number and name. I'm going to call tomorrow morning and see if we can't meet with their coven."
" Oh. Listen, thanks for helping me out with this and everything. You're really great." Suddenly he was standing in front of me – a familiar glitter in his eyes. He caressed my left cheek with his index finger. I felt the chill of excitement that I always got before kissing him. Then, he leaned down and touched his lips to mine. I felt my heartbeat increase.
Edward did too, because he pulled back and whispered, " You've got to get used to me again. I'm amazed you didn't faint like our second kiss." I giggle, remembering the moment like it had happened a mere five minutes ago. Then I realized what he'd said.
" So that wasn't just a one time deal?" He chuckled and answered, " No. I don't want it to be a one-time deal. I want it to be forever." I beam and blush at the same time.
A tear of joy crawls down my cheek, and Edward gently wipes it away. I look up at my angel, and I can feel in my heart that he was here to stay.

Edward and I were sitting in the small pub in town. Around us were seventeen vampires. The leader stepped forward. He had striking naturally-red hair and a lean, muscular build. He was incredibly tall – even taller than Jacob.
" I'm Jared. You must be Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. It's nice to meet you." He shook my hand, his red eyes watching my every movement. He shook Edward's hand before asking, " Bella, if it's ok, I'd like to hear the background story to why you need my help." I nod, even though I don't want to tell the story.
I say quietly and shyly, " Well, Edward and I were together, but he left. My friend, Jacob, helped me pick up the pieces, and before I knew it, I was in love with him. He's a werewolf. I became pregnant with his children, so we got married. Then Edward came back. I had triplets: Charles, Rachel, and Alison.
" Then Jacob imprinted with another girl. I'm back together with Edward, but the children will change into werewolves when they're older. Carlisle Cullen helped me and researched this theory."
Jared nodded and said, " I'm so sorry. Hopefully I can help you. Yes, they can be changed, but there's a slight catch."
Edward and I looked at him and asked simultaneously, " What kind of catch?"
He looked straight into my eyes as he stated, " Their father must be dead."
Ok, I need some reviews! I want plenty of them!
