Chapter 1

"Okay kids. I think we have everything, right?" I asked my four-years-olds while driving our shopping cart. We had gone to the supermarket to get some food. The triplets were half human so they ate human food. We were here on small vacations since Luke had to come to help a friend of his who worked on the local hospital. I decided that the kids would enjoy coming, to get some fresh air.

"No mommy! We forgot the yogurts. Can we go get them alone?" Lillian asked smiling. It was hard to resist that smile but if it was dangerous I would never let them go.

"Sure, but be careful: don't talk with strangers and don't run too fast. Call if you need something." I advised. I knew how distracted they could get while running and I didn't want to risk our secret.

"Yeah! Thanks mommy." They said in unison. They liked when I let them do something on their own, and so they took off running towards the yogurts' section. They were such angels, my angels, rarely misbehaving and being very close to each other.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear two pars of steps approaching me nor did I recognize their scent due to my distraction.

"Bella?" A familiar voice asked with disbelief. I instantly froze. How had they found me? Not that I had been hiding but still… In such a big world how come that they had come to the exact same place as me? Unless it wasn't a coincidence…"Is that you?" The same voice asked now slightly anxious. No! It was a coincidence. Why would they want to find me again? They couldn't know about the kids. Otherwise they probably would have come to find me sooner… or not.

That didn't matter; there was no way to escape it now! If only I had paid more attention… I scolded myself. I must admit this was the last place where I planned to find them. The supermarket? After all, vampires don't eat. I guess they must be refilling their pantry to keep up the appearances. Couldn't they have come in another day?

I carefully turned around, afraid of what I was going to see. In front of me was a small pixie like person with short black hair sticking in all directions. She was wearing a denim mini-skirt, a blue top and a black leather jacket with high black stilettos. Beside her was a tall, well-built boy with blond hair and wearing simply black jeans and a blue t-shirt. They both had gold colored eyes. I immediately recognized them as Alice and Jasper Cullen.

"Hi" I said waving my hand lightly and looking at them. I was now with my back to my shopping cart, facing them. I had the slightest hope that they would leave before the kids arrive. That way everyone would just go back to their lives. I didn't want to trouble their existence with my life. Or force me and the kids in theirs. What if they left again? Okay Bella focus on the present!

"Oh Bella! I can't believe it's really you" Alice spoke again while throwing herself at me and hugging me tightly. I was stunned by her action and only responded a second later, returning her hug. "You're a vampire!" she gasped surprised.

"Yeah" I answered, shrugging my shoulders.

"Yeah? That's all you have to say about it? This was not supposed to happen."She said looking at Jasper

"Hi Bella, It's great to see you again." He said coming closer to embrace me. I hugged him too. I guess that the fact that I was a vampire allowed him to be closer to me than before.

"You too Jasper." I said while we pulled apart. "How have you been?" I asked

"Fine. I missed you so much Bella. Everybody does." She said hugging me again, though this time it seemed like she never wanted to let go. After a few moments we pulled apart. "What about you?"

"Good." I told her simply.

"Are you babysitting or something like that?" She asked confused. What had she seen that lead her to think that? Did she have a vision?

"No" I answered nervously. I was never good at lying or hiding things. "Why do you ask?" I tried to keep my voice as normal as possible but I could see by Jasper's suspicious face that I wasn't doing a very good work.

Hell! Why was this happening to me? Could I not have a second of peace in my life? Why did I have to find them now?

"Well… you have your car filled with a lot of things for kids: jell-o, special milk for kids, cereals, cookies… not to mention all the draw material." I took a quick glance at my shopping cart and realized she was right. Of course I had a lot of other things like rice and meat, vegetables, but the ones that she mentioned were on the top of the cart.

"Huh… I … Well…" Great! Why did she have to be so observant? I guess Alice would pay attention to everything that had to do with shopping. Suddenly I looked above Alice's head and what I saw made me lose all hopes I had that they would not meet the kids.

Running towards me was a small lanky boy with bronze hair and gorgeous green eyes. His features were very much alike his father's. Concluding, my boy Luke was just like a miniature of Edward. Anyone who knew both would see the similarities right away.

"Mommy!" He yelled happily while running towards me. "I got mines already." He said coming to a stop right beside and handing me the yogurts. Strawberry. His favorites.

"Mommy?"Alice said shocked. I ignored her for the moment; right now my attention was for the small boy standing beside me.

"Don't run so fast Luke." I advised "Someone can see. Where are you're sister's hun?" I asked a bit worried while shuffling his hair.

"They're still picking. Lizzie won't decide which flavor she wants." He answered a bit exasperated. I guess that was the reason why it was taking them so long to come back. He looked so cute when he was exasperated. Then he hid behind my legs looking up to Jasper and Alice before asking "Mommy do you know these… people?" The way he hesitated made me see he knew they were vampires. "Who are they?"

"They're just some old friends of mommy hun. Don't worry they won't hurt you." I calmed him. "Do you mind to go call your sisters? We're already running a little late. Tell them that if they don't hurry up you won't have time to play with Uncle Luke before dinner." I knew they would hurry up now. When he was no longer in sight I directed my attention to Alice.

"Mommy?" She asked again.

"Bella how can you have children?" Jasper asked right after her "Vampires can't have kids!" He sounded just as confused and shocked like Alice "Are they yours or have you adopt them?" I think he already knew the answer, since no one would let an eighteen years old girl adopt a child, but I replied anyway.

"They're mine. And I haven't been a vampire since ever" I hinted.

"Oh! Oh!" Alice seemed unable to formulate sentence, I think she was starting to put the pieces together "You have more than one?" Probably she was remembering the conversation I had a while ago with my son "How many are they? How old are they?" If she kept shooting questions like that I wouldn't be able to answer, even if I wanted.

"They're four-years-old triplets." I told her.

"Are they vampires?" Jasper asked curious.

"Half-vampires." I whispered.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Now there wasn't just the boy. Behind him were two tiny girls. One had brown curly hair and her eyes were deep chocolate pools. I wondered if that was how my eyes looked like to Edward. No Bella, don't think about that. The other girl had also brown hair but hers wasn't so curly just a bit waved, her eyes were a deep emerald green. Just like her brother's. They were my girls: Lillian and Elizabeth.

"I'm sorry momma but I couldn't decide which flavor I wanted. Here." She apologized handing me her yogurts. Peach. She would always choose these, but only after thinking a lot. Lilly handed me hers too. Pineapple. I put it all at the cart.

"Well we have to go now." I said looking at Alice and Jasper. Lily and Lizzie were looking at them, probably trying to figure out who they were. Lizzie looked a bit scared so I tranquilized her. "They're just some old friends of mommy." Alice was getting ready to ask more questions before I left but my cell rang. I quickly picked it up from my purse.

"Hello!" I answered without looking at the ID.

"Bells? It's Luke." He knew I almost never looked at the ID.

"Hey."

"I just wanted to tell that I finished hunting a minute ago. Are you done in the supermarket?"

"Yeah… we're heading to the cash register" I said.

"Are you okay? You sound strange. Is everything okay?" He asked worried

"Well it happened something but I talk to you when I get home. Okay?"

"Sure. See ya."

"Bye Uncle Luke." The kids shouted

"Bye." I said shutting off the cell.

As I was putting the cell back into my purse I noticed that the kids weren't there. I immediately got worried and look around trying to find them. I noticed them a few meters away, helping an old lady who had dropped some of her stuff. They were quickly picking it up and handing it back to her. I pushed my cart to where they were standing with the old lady. I noticed that both Jasper and Alice followed me.

"Are you their sister? "The old lady asked smiling

"No. I'm their mother."This seemed to shock the old lady but she quickly recomposed herself smiling again.

"Well you've raised them very well. And so young… They're such angels." She appraised.

"They are." I agreed.

"Congratulations. You're doing a very good job. I never met such wonderful children."

"Thank you." If I could I would be blushing.

"We were just helping this lady mommy." Lizzie said handing the last item to the lady.

" You did very good honey."

"You always taught us that we should always help the people who needed." Luke said smiling.

"Here, these are for you" The old lady said giving each one a chocolate. "To thank you for your help. Be good to your mommy. She's very brave for taking care of you at such a young age, and she's also a very nice lady."

"We will ma'am." They answered in unison.

"Okay lets go home. Uncle Luke's waiting." I said

"Bella wait!" Alice called "You have to tell us what happened!" She came closer and whispered "Who's their father Bella?" She asked like if she already knew the answer and was only waiting for a confirmation.

"I really have to go Alice. Come on kids." I said pushing the cart away from Alice and Jasper. At least they didn't come after me.

What was I going to do? I knew Alice had probably already figured out almost everything. There was no going back now. What will I do ?
