A/N: Hey guys! So on Monday I'm going to Spain, which means I won't have wifi which means no updates for a week (very sad, I know!). So, a week on tuesday (15th September) I'll be posting chapters throughout the day to fill in the ones that are being missed next week!
Chapter 24
Bella:
"Wait!"
I stay where I'm standing, not even turning around. For a while, Edward doesn't say anything, so I consider just leaving anyway.
"Bella. I can't do this without you. I need you to help me find my family."
In a flash, I'm in his arms, kissing him deeply. His strong arms wrap around me, holding me tightly against him.
"I'm not sure where they are. But, maybe we could start by going to the house in Seattle? Alice might still be looking at my decisions, so she might see me going there," Edward says quietly.
I hug him even tighter, if that's possible.
"Alice will most definitely be watching out for you, I'm certain," I tell him, kissing his cheek. "Maggie's coming with us though, right?"
"Of course, Bella. Anything you want," Edward smiles.
After a little bit making out, Edward and I finally leave his hotel room. I wait patiently while he checks out, before we make our way back to my hotel room.
Inside, Maggie has packed up both of our bags, a smirk on her face. "What took you guys so long?" she asks.
"Shut it," I warn her.
Maggie just smiles sweetly. "I don't know what you're on about," she grins.
To my surprise, Edward laughs. "You just wait until you find your mate."
Maggie throws a pillow at him, which Edward expertly catches. Maggie pouts in annoyance.
"So, I was thinking we might need a stopover in London," Edward says.
"Why?" I frown.
"Well, you two are part of the family now. I just figured you might want to move in with us, in Seattle," Edward says, stopping when he sees both of our shocked looks. "Unless, of course, you want to stay in London. I've never actually lived in London," he adds quickly.
"Me too?" Maggie whispers. "I'm…I'm really a part of the family, too?"
Edward frowns. "Of course. What do you think we'd do? Take Bella and leave you all on your own?" Edward says, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. "You're stuck with us now," he adds, grinning.
Before I realise what's happening, Maggie is giving Edward a tight hug. He gingerly pats her back.
"Bella, your mate is one of the sweetest vampires I've ever met," Maggie says through tears.
"Thanks. But, you know, vampires are meant to be scary. Sweet? Not a word I've heard used before," Edward grins, baring his fangs.
"Nah, you're sweet," Maggie says, smirking.
"Rude," Edward mutters under his breath.
