Pure of Heart
Epilogue: London, 15 Years Later
BPOV
Esme held the door open to the Cullen mansion on the outskirts of the city for us. Abby-girl and Charlie Jr. made their way in first to find Alice and Emmett respectively, followed by Seth. Leah went in next with two-week-old Holly Charlene sleeping in her arms while Rose helped me waddle in. Shortly after my LeLe had gotten pregnant with our Holly, Carlisle had figured out how to harvest a female vampire's eggs and my brother and his mate asked me to be their surrogate. After several failed attempts, it process worked and I was now in my second trimester with Seth and Rose's twins. Those two fucking owed me big time for this.
The Pack had flown in yesterday so we were the last ones to arrive. Today was a day of celebration. For starters, we were going to learn the sex of the twins but more importantly, Carlisle was going to baptize Holly at the tiny Vicarage on the estate. The only two people missing were Mum and Dad. Ten years ago, Charlie was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and died a few months later. Sue followed her imprint not even a week later. Our brother and sister had taken custody of Charlie Jr. We all missed them but knew they were with us in spirit.
After their combine funeral, my family and the Cullen's moved from Canada to England. The Pack split in two and stayed in America to protect both coasts. Most of the vampire half of the family was spread across the UK, only Carlisle, Esme, Seth and Rose were in London with us. Emmett and Edward lived with their mates, Angela Webber and Maggie Murphy of the Irish Coven respectively, in Glasgow. While Alice and Jasper were currently enrolled at Oxford and visited on the weekends.
Momma Esme had laid out quite a spread so those of us that still needed to eat had more than enough food. After the first round of food, we headed over to the chapel for the baptism. As Carlisle did the honors, I silently wished for my new daughter to have a blessed life then offered up a prayer for Abigail to have an easy time because she was just starting high school with her uncle.
As the group broke up into smaller units before dinner, I joined Carlisle and Jasper as they scowled over a copy of the London Times. There were a number of disappearances up Manchester and they were worried. I knew that no matter what was going on, we'd handle it as a united front, just like always. Eventually, we went off to find our mates and I curled up with Leah on the couch to watch a movie.
AN: Another story finished. Just like all my previous ones, if anybody wants to write what happens next, be my guest. Thanks for reading and look for an update for one of my other stories in the near future.
