Chapter 38

"Red my old's aren't going to care what your wearing." Paul sighed as again his husband went to change.

"I want to make a good impression. Does this make me look fat?" He said holding his shirt against his stomach.

"No you look perfect." Paul wraps his arms around his mate's waist and pulls him close to him.

"You're just saying that. I'm going to ask Emmett." Edward pushed out of Paul's arms and makes his way next door to see his brother.

Paul's parents had invited them over for dinner before the bonfire. Edward had spoken to both of them on the phone. They had known for years about the pack and also their only child was gay. As yet they hadn't told them that Edward was able to have babies and was in fact pregnant. Billy had agreed to allow him to tell them before the bonfire so they don't find out with the rest of the tribe. Thanks to Billy's connections La-Push was closed off tonight to anyone who was not from the tribe. They were going to finally reveal their secret to their people in hopes that Emmett and Edward would be able to live a much a normal life as possible. It was hoped by the elders that not only Paul and Jacob remain on their lands but also that the rest of the pack return.

"Paul hurry up we're going to be late." Edward called from the door.

Sighing Paul grabbed the keys to the car and headed out to Edward who was wearing a different shirt from what he was wearing when he went to see Emmett. Deciding not to ask he opened the door for his husband earning a kiss.

The dinner with Paul's parents went well. Although Paul vowed to destroy his baby photos. The wolf's father sympathised and they sat in the lounge while the other two were at in the kitchen cooing over the photos. When they explained that Edward was able to carry babies and in fact he was Paul's mother went straight into grandmother mode. She didn't seem to care that Edward was a male and he was pregnant. She promised to bring over meals for them at least twice a week and they were to go over every Sunday for a family meal. When they were finally able to leave Paul's mother was already planning on going to Forks to buy wool to knit booties for her new grandbabies.


Everyone stared at the new arrivals. Edward shyly hid behind his husband who had his arm around his waist glaring at anyone who dare come to close. The couple walk over to the Black family and sit down between the elders. Leah and Colin stood protectively behind Emmett their eyes not missing anything. Whispers were pointless with the wolf senses and they heard a few people complain about pale faces allowed on their lands.

"Wait till they hear about them being cold ones and are up the duff." Colin scoffed earning a fist in his stomach by his alpha.

Billy Black welcomed them both fondly even allowing Edward to kiss his cheek. before Paul introduced him to the other elders. When they sat down Leah wrapped her arms around Edward's shoulders and kissed his cheek.

"Should I be worried?" Paul asked amused, but dragged his mate onto his knees.

Everyone knew the legends of the tribe. They were told as bedtime stories and even at school. Of course they still thought it was just a story until Leah was asked to phase. She didn't remove her clothes as Billy had already asked if she would be the one to shift as she was the smallest out of everyone their.

At first their was nothing but silence. Colin was weary of his mate being displayed and kept a very close eye on everyone in case their was a new shifter among them that felt threatened or even worse if someone tried to attack her. Jacob and Paul were on high alert as well. Jared and Sam were hidden in the trees in their wolf form just in case.

It was Claire Uly who stood and went to Leah and stroked her. A few of the women screamed as though finally it hit them exactly what they were seeing. A young teenage boy was next who happened to be Claire's date. She of course knew everything of the pack and how Quil had imprinted on her. She loved Quil dearly and loved him like a big brother. She had given the wolf her blessing to go to Chris. Of course it was possible when she got older she would feel the pull of the imprint and want Quil for herself, but until then he was happy being with Chris.

People started talking amongst themselves Leah and Colin disappeared only for Leah to return a few minutes later in her human form and sat down beside Edward and Paul.

"These cold ones are they real too? Are we in danger now?"

Jacob stood up and looked at his tribe. "The tribe is safe. The pack take their duties seriously. Yes vampires are real. Many of you will have heard of the Cullen's and even been under the care of the good doctor." People nodded.

"He and his family are vampires or cold ones as our legends say."

"Why have you not killed them Black?" People started shouting demanding answers.

"Wait he is a Cullen and him."

Men gathered their families and woman their children. This wasn't going as well as they had hoped. Of course Jacob couldn't blame them. Although he had hoped no one remembered Emmett and Edward from their time in Forks. A young boy began to tremble and it was Sam who came and pulled him away from the group. Billy sighed and shook his head as a howl was heard in the distance.

"I need to go." Jacob sighed.

"Go we will make sure he is safe." Paul said hugging his mate closer to him and pulling Emmett closer. Leah and Colin stood in front of the lone vampire.

"Please everyone let me continue with the explanations." Billy shouted above the crowd.

"How can you allow this Billy your son is protecting the thing he is suppose to kill?"

Emmett hissed and stood up pushing Colin and Leah aside. "My family are not monsters. We don't drink human blood."

"How can we trust you won't in the future?"

Emmett sighed. "I don't know. All I can tell you is that my father has brought us up teaching us his way of life. He is over 300 years old and has never tasted human blood. Like Chef Black said he is a doctor and many of you have no doubt been cared for by him at some point. Edward and I can't say we have never tasted human blood. I wish we could, both of us are not happy we failed with our blood lust but assure you we are in control now and neither of us have tasted it in any of your life times."

"Why are we being told this now?" A young pregnant woman asked.

Paul pulled his mate closer to him. Leah and Colin managed to get Emmett to sit between them. Billy pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Because we are pregnant to our mates." Edward said standing up and holding his stomach.

"Is this some kinda of sick joke?"

Paul stood up and snarled at the man. "Are you calling may mate sick?"

"Paul please calm down." Edward faced his mate putting his hand on his chest. "Please." he whimpered as the wolf continued to tremble as though he was going to shift.

The wolf looked down at his mate and nodded before kissing him on the lips. Edward turned back to the crowd and lifted his shirt. "Is this proof enough?"

"So you got a pot belly."

The pregnant woman gasped and held her own stomach. "Wait he isn't lying. Look please pregnant woman carry differently from woman with pot bellies. How is this possible though?"

"It's the magic that flows through the shifters." Billy explained.

Question after question was asked. Jacob came through the trees with a young boy who looked no older than Seth did when he shifted for the first time. There were older teens there but none of them showed any signs of shifting.

Edward had drifted off to sleep over an hour ago and Paul wanted to get his mate home. Tomorrow was going to be busy as Sue had the scanner set up at her house and they were going to have the first look at their cubs. A few people had come and introduced themselves to Emmett and Edward including the pregnant woman whose husband was away on the boats at the moment. She explained that their was a mothers group if the boys wanted to attend. Paul thought they would be insulted but Edward was eager to meet other pregnant people. After exchanging numbers she left with her parents.

After seeking Billy and Jacob's permission Paul left the bonfire leaving them to answer the many questions that were still been asked of them. Edward didn't even stir when his husband stripped him and put a blanket over him. Tonight he was meant patrol but couldn't leave his mate. He knew it wasn't fair on the rest of the pack but felt he needed to protect his mate tonight. Colin and Leah agreed to do it for him as long as he did theirs the following Saturday so they could go on a much needed date.


Jacob stood beside his mate holding his hand. Sue was showing them their baby. It was still too early to say the sex and it was determined that Emmett was three months pregnant. Meaning that he fell pregnant not long after the knotting.

"Everything looks perfect." Sue said taking a photo so they had a momento of the scan.

"Is it me or does this all of a sudden feel real?"

"Pftt dude it feels real to me." Emmett said accepting his mate's hand to sit up.

"Are we late?" Edward asked as they came through the door.

"You just missed Emmett's scan," Jacob said proudly showing them the photo.

"Congrats guys." Paul said looking at what looked like a jellybean to him.

"Well we'll leave you to it. I've got to take Dion out for training."

"I'll come as soon as we are done here." Paul said as they waved them off.

Sue had already ushered Edward to the room which she had converted into a small surgery. Edward was slightly bigger than yesterday but not as much as Sue thought he would be. After the sudden growth of his expanding belly. After she had taken down the measurements it was time to see what was going on exactly. Edward was trying to put on a brave face but was failing miserably until he felt his mate take his hand in his.

Sue squeezed gel onto Edward's stomach and was surprised when he didn't jump like Emmett had done. Even though they were slightly colder than a human they were now able to feel the difference in temperature.

Sue moved the wand around and frowned she leaned closer to take a better look at the screen. She looked at the young men she had been entrusted with her care. She knew straight away she was out of her depth. Carlisle needed to come here or them to travel back to New York.

"Sue?"

"Well I was correct you do indeed have two babies."

"Can we see?" Edward said excited.

Sue took a minute to move the wand around so they could get a better look. Slowly she turned the screen towards them. Both men started at the screen neither saying a word tears running down their faces.

"Take me home." Edward said slapping Sue's hand away and scrambling off the bed.

"Edward."

"NOW!" he screamed.

"Go I will contact Carlisle and explain. Just make sure he rests."
