Life isn't meant to be lived perfectly …. But merely to be lived, boldly, wildly, beautifully, uncertainly, imperfectly, magically lived."

Mandy Hale

"Bob, I heard that we were moving."

"Yes, Jennifer Charles to Forks, Washington. My twins have their cousin moving in. Well, she's moving in with her father. She's moving back to Forks. And with the Queen's passing. And everything their job has finally done so. I get the. What, you have that shocking look on your face?"

"You have twins. Why were you ever gonna tell me your mother?"

"Ohh, Jennifer Charles. Technically, I'm not the biological mother. By all intents and purposes, I am a mother figure to them because I pretty much raised them. Since they were, they were their born. And constantly remind them of their mother's bravery. And who their father was. Three beautiful, brilliant people I absolutely adore. It's just a shame that no one of them got to live to see their Got to love to see their twins grow up."

"We'll be overstepping to ask why they're not in their lives. It sounds like they passed, but I'm not 100% sure what. If that's 100%. Accurate."

"Yes, their mother died, Um. On the day of their birth, like with their father, he was attacked by, we're assuming, a werewolf that had gone rogue, but we're not 100% sure. Um. Yeah, their mother died in emergency six sections because they were. A terrible storm came, and the doctor was there, but they couldn't get to the hospital. And at that moment, we're like a. The storm side rose. They decided to put their opinions into the world, and their mother was already there. Went through labor for. 16 hours prior. And the storm had led up, and they were hoping they could too. Giraffe to the hospital by this point. The doctor realized that the boy could not make it down because he was too big for the birth canal. And he was fearing that the twins were gonna be under stress. The only option was an emergency C-section. But here's the problem. They had no other equipment to do so. So, to do the C-section would have ended their mother's life. Any of us coming down to choice, the father wasn't around to help make the decision, and the Queen was having a hard time. Clara had made the decision for them, saying the children's lives. You cut me open, and you get the mouth. Knowing the consequences of the actions. So they got Carlyle out where it's like last. And she passed before she realized she had a daughter that she always wanted. Which was a shock to everyone because it was in this particular family. A daughter had not been born in over 300 years. So. She was completely surprised by everyone. And when the storm finally cleared up a few days later? We found out the father passed away on the other side. Scotland. It looks like he got mauled by an animal. And they thought he was aware. Werewolf or something that just went nuts. So, both parents lost their lives pretty much on the twin's birth. And this is where they're complicated. Twins all magically come growing ship over the crown because there is nobility. But I was recognized as their godparent. I normally would not have had a problem with flooding the crown-raised them. But it became apparent that considering they were technically orphaned and had no one to stand up for them. That. Not-so-savory people want them to turn them into weapons. As a result, they were turned into weapons, and I had to negotiate and fight for them for the last. 16 years. I'm finally getting him back, and they're pretty much 17. They had to finish up some stuff. However, they agreed they could learn to be normal teenagers for the next few years. I was able to. Step in when they were younger and then when they were basically trained to be weapons. I was not allowed to have minimal contact with them, and that was with me fighting and cursing and everything else. Originally, I was never gonna come here to Minnesota, but. They found out their cousin was moving to Forks, WA, and she hates that place, so they say. They act as backups. I decided I was gonna offer everyone a chance to move there. The city has been becoming quite violent, and I don't want them near that violence. So I thought, a small town in the middle of nowhere. It might be the best place for them to learn to be normal teenagers. Or wherever totally normal kids do."

"That will explain why Nicole and Michael planned on moving the whole, which is covered over."

"Yeah, there were always talks, and I was able to talk him into it. Your granny and Air Force granddaddy could come with us, so we can move many good people out of the area. And move it into Forks. Drake and his family are coming. Even though he is going to be a junior with them. They got their mom to work in the cafeteria. And their dad is a janitor, so it will be quite interesting. Yeah, we got our old normal stuff coming. A lot of them say they want to come because it just seems like Minnesota is becoming too unstable for us. So moving out West seemed to be the best."

"Ohh, what are their names? The names that the government goes by and what they have it's not their full name. I have protected that one, too. God knows everything in me because it is just the fae in me that has to be protected. But. My son's name is Carlisle Cullen, And my daughter, his twin sister, is the youngest of the two. Is Elsa."

"Really. As after the Disney Princess?"

"Well, the Disney Well, most likely the Disney Princess was named after her. But there's really no telling. Elsa is actually another form of. And spelling for calling her Elizabeth."

"She was named after the Queen."

"Essentially, but. The Queen is having German. Origins sighed. They named her after them. A German and Norwegian, all named for Elizabeth Elsa. And yes, she can be cold-hearted as they come, but then again. She is a soldier; they both are."

"I see here on your kitchen list you have. Group more, more or less, and grocery lists many high-protein items. Like pork and chicken. Stuff in that nature. I thought you were vegan Or vegetarian."

"Oh, I am. Because I am Fae, I'm more or less a strictly vegetarian. However, the twins need to consume high-protein meals to function. Healthily, if I forced them to be on a vegetarian diet. I wouldn't be a good mother, and they'll be half-starved. And because of their bloodline. We really require something. So that's also the main reason I got a special fridge for the cafe. Just for them in the back and don't freak out."

"Why would I freak out?"

"They have vampire blood within them, as a result. They require them to consume high protein, if not strictly protein, meals. They still can have vegetables, but they have to have pruning protein to go with it. They also are getting some points. They're showing signs of changing into a species of vampire. The less you know, the better in this case. But as a result. They also need to consume blood, so I have a fridge. Strictly filled with nothing but a pig's blood in a Unicorn blood mixture. So I can pull it out, warm it, and give it up. When the need arises. This is where a lot of their family members die young because they have no idea what the heck is going on. And they don't consume what they need there. They go insane and finally give in to cannibalism. They end up offering themselves in the process after they realize what happened in a clear mind. Or to change is so harsh it ends up killing them because they're half starved. So, they're given the best possible alkaline can give. That's what I'm trying to do."

"OK, let's go ahead and put a lock on that. Do we need to tell Riku and Dre about this?"

"Being both born in the supernatural community, they are already going to be Privy to the law of this, so they'll help Cyrus and me keep an eye on the symptoms. But yeah, I do agree; you should probably lock down that fridge. I'm also gonna have a fridge at home that's like that song. Yeah, don't freak out. I'm just trying to keep my kids healthy and give them the best possible chance."

"Patrick said Janine. Mainly drinks a lot of coconut water. Could you mix human coconut water as a substitute for human blood? And would that help them?"

"I will have to try it out. I don't know. But that is something to take into consideration. Perfect coconut water I can get a hold of. Alrighty, this is part of our repertoire, so that won't be a problem or more."

"Would you like me to set up some special lunch ideas for the cafe that require proteins?"

"I was going to hire a cook to handle that, but if you have ideas, I would. Certainly, take up, but I'd offer."

"No, it's just in the college I just graduated from. And the cook the. There was this cook who was phenomenal about his cooking, but. He sucked out a lot of his baking. I thought, well, I forgot I have maybe a two-part kitchen in Forks. Maybe he can be the head cook. And come over with menu ideas for lunch, breakfast, and supper. Maybe we can pack the twins and Dre. A lunch. That way, it's high in protein. We can probably sneak a huge thermos up that. Yeah, it's Unicorn special. With them, they're constantly hydrated or not really thirsty. And there are more species of vampires. I'm sorry I'm a little slow. I got."

"Actually, there are 3. There is Janine. She is the type of species that the guy U.S. government knows. And about three months. Or so, give or take. Up to six months, there are the traditional vampires. Hollywood protects them. They are allergic to it. Sunlight, silver, they can't go out on there. The older ones may not tolerate the sun very well. They'll actually burn. Ashes. Um. Younger ones will go more like a flame boy or human that can't be identified. But they do bleed. Their body can't actually be quite pleasurable, but they can't kill if they bite, so they can actually control. How much they're drinking. Because a couple are official blood types, bloods are coming out. The twins actually made one that. It's coming out. Sorry about stocking up here, but if I have them at night, I'm not 100% sure. The twins are about to make a bank. A lot of money because they have created artificial blood that can be used in hospitals, so much so that no one can tell the difference. You can put it on and test it; no one can tell the difference between them. Our official or. Donated blood. So Janine actually might be delighted with that. So that's about the rollout. I'm helping handle that company. Because, again, they're just nothing more than teenagers with that. But you have a thing called True Blood coming out. But I'm not sure what they're naming theirs. So yeah, a lot is coming out. And the third species prefers to stay in the dark, which. Many supernatural creatures understand that they remain in the dark as much as possible. So, they're gonna be that. That's what they are descended from."

"Ohh, that's cool. Are they excited about that?"

"Sadly, they don't know; they just know they're part free, which probably makes them a little more parfait than Nicole. They do not necessarily have, But it does put them at a. Weird, savage. They show signs of being allergic to iron, which is nice because I tend to keep no iron around."

"So. So why did they live in England?"

"That was part of the deal I had with the Queen. As long as I stay in the United States. It was almost like 5050 custody. Type deal coparenting. Weird parenting type arrangement. I can keep in contact with them. Their tutors and everything else I couldn't interfere with their training and anything else that the. The government needs them to do this. Keep track of who their tutors are, what they're learning, and how they're being raised. Be morally compassed. And the majority of the year, half the year. I can have physical contact with them. Yeah, they just have to live there until they're about. 16 years of age or 17 years of age when everything kind of wraps up. Then they come over to my full custody. So when they come back, they'll be in my custody here. About a few weeks, which will be the beginning of January. They have. We had just turned 17. I am going to start high school as a junior because according to. Government they don't have. Whether I had high school or college degrees, I could negotiate. Starting as a junior in high school and working their way up. The American government sat there, say, including the rest of the world's governments. They have earned that if they can prove that they are not unstable. We're finishing up high school and stuff. They were being given the rest of their degrees."

"Should we be worried about them?"

"Outside the fact they went from a high combat zone to being known for most of the U.K. As a Prince and Princess, I pretty much-lost everything that could be. Really traumatizing. That's the only thing I'm worried about. Outside of that, I don't think they're going to give a damn."

"Wow, to lose it all. In a period of what? A few days, a few hours after. The Queen has passed."

"Essentially, yes. The moment she passed, her funeral ended, and her son, King Charles, took the throne. They pretty much officially lost everything. Everything's not gonna be down completely until he. He is anointed king. He goes through his coronation. So that does give him time to think and show everything. That was the reason why. They didn't show up and moved in October. Or even September. And they're coming. Everything's being moved in January. And the twins, my twins, don't screw around. As you would say. They prefer to get things done, so they literally. Packed up everything and moved it over to the States. Locked it up in there. Families. Houses that they have now, they're questioning whether we have more houses because they have found out there are. Other properties underneath the name Cullen. That they're not aware of. Umm. That leads me to question a few things, but. Their grandfather John, which you'll get the meat. Just looking into that. I bought a nice place off a corner of a major intersection, not too far from the hospital or school, in Forks. It is a three-story building. The bottom floor will basically be. The cafe slash restaurant type deal is because I am bringing in that other cook you suggested. We're going to go ahead and hire a few more staff. I went ahead and hired Recuse. Sister, we are. Hired the Drakes parents on top of the fact that they want to work at the school. Well, their father's working in the kitchen with us. The. The top floors I have renovated are really nice. Stabled. Apartments. That's why we also had to hurry. I had a lot of stuff. Taken. I wanted the Pats coming. The little corners gobble clear. A lot of supernatural cores in the military are coming. Um. Your granny and. Air Force Grandpa are coming. He has already volunteered to be in for the EMT's call of duties, which will work out. So I am basically moving with a lot of people. The military wanted to move closer to them. Especially a supernatural deal. In the Twin Cities, I don't want them to feel like they have to be triggered, so I honestly think it's a small town. Close to a military base. Quiet. Hopefully, it's away from any craziness. So you have an apartment, Nicole will have a nice apartment. I already have a tenant who's requested one of the apartments. When? I saw they were going to be apartments. Um. He got a hold of me through Peter and Charlotte. I'll let you know who they are. He slowly needs a place to go away from his toxic environment. He feels like he's being stifled and being blamed for everything. You would like to get away. He goes by Jasper, so I'm looking forward to seeing who he is. I only knew 1 Jasper. And he was from Texas, which was just around the Civil War. He and his family were really nice; they were helping with the on-the-ground Red Rd. His story is kind and tragic. He went into the Confederacy to be a spy. Moved up the ranks quite a bit. He lost his family in. And night so I think her love will find. We'll get along with him. If he does, I'll say that I'm pretty excited. We're just finishing up, closing up. Packing up. I know you, and Nicole said you guys were coming with us."

"Ohh yeah, yeah, my stuff is straightforward to pack. I've already. Head or about the new furniture for the new place. Nicole and I are ready to go into the apartment together because, by this point, we've been together for nearly two and a half years, so we will go ahead. Take that step and move in to get together in a new place. She's a little nervous so. It helps that the stone shrink covenant is coming along. They're so excited and blessed that you allow them to use the other part of the building. That they're not. They're not using. To basically be their store."

"Ohh yeah, when Nicole brought up they were looking at. Leaving the area because of how dangerous it is starting to become. The last few years have been basically. Um, then nothing but fires and riots and stuff. I know her school got burned down several times because of that. And be because of the whole situation. I didn't want the twins to be involved. I just want them to have a normal or somewhat normal. Teenage experience. I know Drake is looking forward to starting the junior year with them. I had. I told them they're probably gonna give him a chance. Yes, because he's a goblin. But you know what, I'm sure they'll become fast friends. And probably added more to the DNA group. They're not looking forward to high school, but you know what? They are looking forward to being calm. Knocking shot at, not having to do impossible missions at night. Complete. Other calmness if that means going male. They heard from their Marine Corps brethren that they served with melting boredom. They'll take it. They're also looking forward to seeing you guys. Umm, I know Elsa loves to bake. So she probably is gonna suggest. New recipes or something, or join in on the creativity. You are still the head, Baker. If she starts becoming overwhelmed, let me know. I know she could take after Cyrus a few times. And get the little carry away. Nicole might actually enjoy her because she loves to draw. I know that they had asked to take off towards the. Fork Washington sooner they. She or we have keys to the building. Umm. They want to surprise me with something for the new. Uh, cafes shop. So. They have probably been there since December. So I am looking forward to it. They said they'll have the building up and running by the time we get there or prepare to be up and running. So they'll have a couple of weeks before we open everything. I hope to get there before New Year's so we can open up. Shortly after January."

"Yeah, yeah, I see that that's not gonna be a problem. Everything's shutting down here within the next week. I'm pretty much packed up. In the cold, it's pretty much packed up. Her parents are coming out with us to help cook a fantastic feast. Her dad says she wants to help in the kitchen because they're entering semi-retirement. So they're going to help out. Everything has packed me up, and everything's good. I know her parents said they're going to take off there. Soon. We should be able to be there. It is the middle of January, not January, but December. So they are looking forward to it. Umm, yeah, I think Nicole's going to look fantastic."

"Great, um. What shut down just before Thanksgiving will have a big Thanksgiving feast around here. As a way to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Hopefully, we'll finish packing up everything else. Just before Christmas. Will take off. I hope to be there around Christmas, around yours. That's OK with you guys."

"I don't see a problem with that. I will talk to Nicole. That should be a nice, slow process. Um. Yes, we're driving with you guys, and the covens are doing too. I do know Herla said. He was transporting a lot of stuff through his. Wild Hunt. 2 Forks, WA. I'm not 100% sure how that would work, but. I know he offered to transfer a lot of stuff for Nicole. 2. And the covenant, so I'm trying to figure out what he be transporting."

"Ohh yes, J.C., that is basically all our magical items, so I basically packed up my whole house. And everything that's gonna be. Transport that way, we're gonna have the Dragons help him out with that one. They're gonna fly with that. So, it's the same: make sure no one tries to steal anything magical. Or anything we don't know. He wants to get out of this area because of all the violence. And say let the hordes. Take care of a lot of this stuff. They can come in and clear out, and hopefully, they'll calm everything out. Like the idea of Moses or all of the Book of the Testament. Let's put the taped it, evacuate the innocent, put them on a boat, and get out of here."

"Ohh, OK. All right. That would make sense."

"Ohh yes, and the last huge Unicorn attack we had. I collected many Unicorn pelts, horns, and everything else and had that. Grind it down into powder and mixed into the cement. And everything else. That's basically the foundation, the new shop. And comment in our houses. Which help will help boost? All our magicals, everything. So I'm gonna put the whole building underneath my magical protection wars and stuff. I know the Covet and the Coal will do their own, which will help. I do know our new tenant asked me to. Create a kind of emotional bubble where he can feel his own emotions without worrying about anyone else's. So, I'm going to work with Nicole and the coven to try to help create that. I wonder if he's suffering from overstimulation."
