Chapter 14

Weeks went by and our daughter grew in the same fashion as I did while our son grew the same as his father. Caleb grew stronger with every passing day and he was eventually able to join the family and leave the incubator behind. Knowing that Billy had already told Charlie about the children Bella and I decided we would skip the phone call and go see him. Jacob didn't want to go but Bella talked Sue into being sure Billy would be there and we forced Jacob to pulled up to the little house that Charlie has lived in forever. Charlie did not know about the whole vampire thing; however he did know about Jacob being a werewolf. Billy had kept the treaty between Carlisle by not telling Charlie and he never would but he did expect us to one day. Jacob carried Caleb and I carried Marie, if we carried them the other way Caleb would get too cold and Marie would get to warm. My mother carried the diaper bag that was mainly for Caleb. We fed Marie before we got into town in the woods because it grossed Jacob out that she drank blood instead of eating mother knocked on the door and we could here two men grumbling from the living room about us disrupting the game they were watching. Charlie answered the door and his eyes flooded with tears at the mere sight of Bella and Bella alone. He didn't even notice Jacob and me holding two babies. "Bella what a surprise I have missed you so much!" Charlie reached out and embraced here in a bear hug. Bella of course played along with her human façade, "Come on dad I can't breathe. Why don't you hug your grand children?" Once the word children was out of her mouth he almost threw her off of the porch. "Children?" I looked up into his eyes that reminded me of my mothers, "Great-grand children actually."Charlie's mouth fell up and even though he tried he couldn't keep it closed. He knew that me and Jacob were married but the shock of him having two great-grand children was almost too much for him. "Billy you need to come here." Billy rolled into the hallway and nodded at Jacob. This was not the reaction that I had expected from Billy. "Hey dad. How are things going?" Billy shrugged his shoulder but didn't answer verbally. "Well come in come in, we can miss this game for family." Charlie was so happy that we had come to visit you could almost see him sat in the living room and filled up all the furniture in the room, so Jacob had to sit in the floor next to love seat me and mom sat on. "Well Charlie this is Marie Alicia Black, she is named after mom, Alice, and Rosalie. And this strapping young man is Caleb Bradford Black, he is named after Jacob, Billy, Edward, Carlisle, and of course you." Another tear rolled out of Charlie's eye and he pretended to cough and wiped it away. "May I hold them?" Charlie was timid as if I would deny him my children. Jacob got up and handed him Caleb first as I pretended to take Marie to the bathroom for a diaper change. My mother already knew that I was going to tell Marie the rules about what she could do with Grandpa Charlie. Like no moving things around the room with her mind. When I got back into the room Charlie was reluctantly handing Caleb back to Jacob and reached out for Marie. I handed her to him and stared at my mother. "So I have a confession to make." Charlie paused like he had rethought telling us what was on his mind, "I have been thinking about the possibilities and I know I said I didn't want to know earlier but I have decided that I want to know." I looked at my mother and the terror in both of our eyes was identical. Then a knock on the door made me jump. Jacob handed me Caleb and ran to answer the door.

I heard no one speaking so I assumed it was someone that knew we were here. Of course I was right when they entered the room my father walked over and shook Charlie's hand. This could only get more interesting if the entire werewolf pack would show up. Thank God they didn't. "So you finally want to know the truth." Edward stared at Billy, "Thank you for keeping your families promise Billy. Charlie I don't think you are ready for this many think they are but in reality they're wrong." Charlie looked at my mother and shrugged his shoulders, "Isabella, I want to know!" My mother looked at my father and turned back to Charlie, "Well we are…" She looked around the room waiting for someone to stop her, "Vampires!"
