Beta: Jusobele

Epilogue 2 Years Later

Sam's Pov

Everyone was coming over for a BBQ. We were celebrating the Ateara twin's birthday. I couldn't believe they were two years old already, and that Bella and Quil had three kids.

That's right, four months after Charlie Q and Gracie were born, Bella got pregnant. Making baby number 3, when Tate, was born.

I didn't know how they did it, with three toddlers running around, but they couldn't be happier. The Spirits knew what they were doing. Bella and Quil were born to be parents.

Jake and Leah had their first son a year after the twins. True to legend, it appeared Jake's son Will would one day imprint on Gracie, if it had not happened already. Will followed Gracie around everywhere.

Quil was not happy at all. But more than Quil, little Charlie hated Will. Every time Will got near Gracie, Charlie growled. It was funny and left no doubt that he would follow his dad's example as a wolf. The future should be very interesting.

Gracie had the entire pack wrapped around her little finger. The first baby girl born, had an entire pack of wolves at her disposal. Paul had become close with Bella and they had formed a great family relationship. He and Rachel were expecting their first child in a couple of months.

Jared and Kim had a son, Jared Jr. (J.J.) they planned to wait awhile before adding any more. Emily and I had a son, Joshua who was six months old. None of the others had imprinted yet, leaving those of us who were expecting to worry about future imprinting.

I knew the moment Bella and Quil arrived as Will's attention went to the side of the yard.

"Gracie must be here," Jake laughed; watching Will toddle over to her.

"You know in about 14 years Will is going to hate life. Charlie and Tate are going to do everything they can to keep him away from her," I told Jake.

"Yep, and let's not forget Papa Quil," Jake said laughing.

Quil, as we had all joked, was the most over protective husband and father that ever lived. He was better with the boys, but when it came to his girls, Bella and Gracie, he was ridiculous. It had been entertaining to watch.

"Hey Bella, Quil," Jake greeted.

"Hey Jake everyone here yet?" she asked.

"Still waiting for Kate and Thomas to get here," Jake told her.

"Baby, you want something to drink?" Quil asked Bella.

"Sure, ice tea sounds good," she told him.

"Sorry we're late," Kate yelled walking through the gate with Thomas.

Thomas swept Gracie up in his arms. "Hello doodle bug," he cooed.

I watched as she placed a sloppy kiss on his cheek and hopped down running to Charlie when she saw him. "Papa cop," she yelled. Gracie called Charlie, Papa Cop after getting to ride in the cruiser. It might have had something to do with him letting her turn on the sirens.

Charlie Swan turned into a big marshmallow when Gracie and Charlie were born. It was hilarious watching Billy tease him, that was of course until Will was born and Rachel announced she was pregnant. So now, the fishing trips consisted of Harry, Billy, Thomas and Charlie swapping grand kid stories.

"Okay, now that everyone is here I have an announcement," Quil said, grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

"Bella's pregnant," he beamed.

I'd like to say were all shocked, but we weren't.

"Really?" Kate came running over.

"Yep, went to the Dr. today," Bella said smiling.

"Everything check out okay?" Kate asked her.

"Uh, yeah, everything is fine," Bella said.

"Bella, is everything ok. You seem a little out of it?" Charlie asked.

"May as well tell everyone now… there's three babies," Bella mumbled.

"What?" half the yard yelled.

"Triplets," Quil told us, gloating like he just won the werewolf X games.

I could not help myself. I started cracking up, with all the wolves joining in.

"You know son, the legend didn't say you had to have all the kids at one time," Thomas joked.

"What can I say, I have super swimmers?" Quil told his dad.

"Dude, do you realize you're going to have 6 kids?" Embry said, shaking his head.

"Yep," Quil said smiling.

"You have more than half the pack kids," I told him.

"Then you better catch up Alpha," he replied.

"What are you going to do if you have daughters?" Jared asked.

"Keep them away from Jake's Alpha boys," Quil said, gritting his teeth. He still did not like the idea of his baby Gracie having a claim on her, even if Will was only one. "And you single guys better not look at my girls," he threatened.

Oh yes, the future was going to be interesting, I thought.
