chapter 27

After Aro left to go outside, I made sure Bella went back to bed. I knew she wouldn't sleep much with all this new information about her family, but she needed to rest. She agreed with me and after a big hug and a few kisses I left her to go speak with Jenks.

She made me promise I would tell her what he wanted to talk about before letting me go.

I will but I think I can't tell her everything seeing as Jenks wanted her out of the room.

"So you got me alone, what is going on? Is there more to this story than what you told us?" I ask right away once I've closed the door behind me.

"Sit Edward and I will tell you more." he tells me.

Once I'm sitting in front of him he sighs deeply and begins. "When you asked my help, I immediately checked everybody in your crew and all the gangsters.

I can safely say all your crew members are clear and your operation is still sealed.

The gangsters did however find some information, but don't know what it means. Luckily for us Aro shoot the only guys who knew the information and I have some of my men making sure nobody else can get to this information by setting the building on fire.

I'm sorry Edward, but if you have something in the building that needs to be rescued tell me now so I can let the men take it out and relocate it."

I know exactly which building he's talking about. It's my secret storage, with computers and files, guns and my Harley Davidson motor and Volkswagen Van from 1967 fully restored.

"Just my HD bike and my Van… also the guns and if I can have a backup from the computers then it is fine by me to let it burn, makes it look like electrical fire… short circuit… so no one's the wiser."

"OK, I'll tell the guys so they can finish up there. It is still the same password, right?" he asks me.

"Yes, you know I would give you a notice if I would change it. You need access to it too, just in case..."

"Now, dear Edward, tell me the story about you and Bella." he smiles widely

"You saw that huh... you're the first who dares asks about it." I smile and laugh when I think of my girl.

"Edward, everybody with working eyes must have seen it." he fires back laughing.

"I love her. I want it all with her." I answer him honestly.

"Even though now you know she is heir of a great mob family?" he asks me.

"Yes, I don't care about that part of her history and I know she doesn't either. I also know she loves me back, we want to be together after this mess is cleared out. So we need a new home, far away from this, for the four of us... because I'm gonna marry her ASAP." I tell him proudly and I cannot contain the big smile that takes over my face when I imagine her walking down the aisle towards me.

"Well, I'll help you find a secure home. And make sure this mess is cleared up fast so you can marry this sweet young lady and move into a house; make that a home for the four of you." And I know he will make sure we are safe. "It is now five am, do you want to go back and sleep or help the cleanup crew." he asks me with a smile like he knows what is going through my mind.

I would rather be in bed with Bella holding her to my chest but I know the sooner this mess is gone, the faster we can move on and start our life together.

"Cleanup crew" I finally decide.

As I lay here in this bed staring at the ceiling, I know this is the last night I will be sleeping here.

It feels strange to leave, yes I want to get back to the land of the living... but it also feels so good here, like our own little bubble. I found love here… real love. The kids love it here, it is safe… well it was safe here.

Then I start to think about what this Jenks guy told us. I don't know what to do with this information. I am an heir of a great mob family! Me, a nobody from a small town. What will it mean? Do they want to keep contact? Would they want me to step up if Aro and his brothers die?

I know they are the only living family I still have but do I want to keep in contact with them?

Do I want to step up if they die?

Do I want... what do I want?

And Edward... does he still want to be with me now that he knows I am a mob girl?

And what does Jenks want to talk to him about, what doesn't he want me to know?

So many questions... so little answers...

I must have fallen asleep at some point, because I wake up to the fresh smell of coffee and a kiss on my lips.

"Good morning sweetheart" Edward says to me between kisses.

"Hi" I answer with a smile.

"Did you sleep well?" he asks me.

"Well I can feel it wasn't enough, but at least I slept some. Did you get any sleep at all?"

"No, we were all making sure that we can leave here in about half an hour, so hurry up and get dressed. I'll make sure the kids are fed and have warm clothes on their little bodies."

"Edward you must be so tired..."

"Yes, I am but for now coffee still works to keep me awake... just like your kisses I must say." He says lining down and kissing me again.

We kiss a little more until we hear noises coming from the kid's room.

"Yep, time to get up." we say smiling.

When I walk into the sitting room I know it wasn't all a dream. Rose is packing up the cabin and most of it has been cleared out already.

Outside I hear men talking and then Jenks walks in.

"Good you're awake." He says with a smile "How are you feeling?"

"I really can't say. It all feels like a dream or something. I have so many questions and so little answers my head is spinning."

"We will talk later, I made arrangements for you and the kids to stay in my vacation house for as long as it's needed. The helicopter will bring you and the kids there. Edward needs to stay here a bit longer and then he will drive back to you." he informs me.

"Why does he need to stay here a bit longer?" I'm not ready to part from him.

"The police would want a story for what happened here so Edward and I made up one. The police will be here at nine am" he says while looking at his watch "so you better hurry... we don't want you or the kids further involved."

I look at the clock and see it is eight o'clock already.

I'm just about to get back in the bedroom to start packing when Edward walks in with my babies on his arms.

"Hey baby, we have packed the kid's stuff, so these two are ready to go." he smiles.

"I just wanted to go and pack up our stuff, but now I need to kiss these little monsters first." I quickly kiss my monsters on their head and still a kiss from him before walking into the bedroom to pack.

Since I don't have much I am ready within ten minutes. Edward already put the coats on the kids and is now putting on his own.

I give my stuff to one of the man waiting for it by the main door of the cabin and put my coat on as well.

"I will walk with you to the helicopter, but I can't come with you… I know Jenks told you about it." Edward tells me as we walk outside.

I look around me and all the captured men are gone, just like Jenks' men... I must have looked funny because Edward laughs and answers my unspoken question "All the men are already being flown back to Jenks' secured location. Aro and his brothers are on a plane back to Europe. So that leaves us, my men and woman; plus Jenks and a few of his guys. My crew will leave as soon as you're in the air. Jenks' crew would fly with you. Jenks and I will talk to the police and then we'll drive together to his vacation house to meet you."

"Wow that was fast, I never heard a thing." I'm impressed by the precision and speed with everything was done.

"Baby, you were so fast asleep, I could barely wake you this morning. When we get to the house we all are going into a winter-sleep, just like the bears on this mountain; because we all need it after these few months of stress."

After half an hour we are at the helicopter and saying goodbye to each other. Both not wanting to let go of the other...the kids are already seated and the men are waiting for me to climb in so we can leave.

Reluctantly I give Edward just one more hug and a kiss before I get into the helicopter.

After I got on my seat the door is closed and the motor is running. I watch Edward move back and wave just one last time. Telling myself that I'll see him again soon enough.
