PREVIOUSLY-

"Come here, babe." Jared told me, pulling me down toward him. "I love you. Sam loves you. The whole pack loves you -just not as much as us- and we will get through anything together. Big Red, Charlie, the Cullens, and anything that comes after…"

"I love you both, too, and our little ones agree." I said, placing my hand over my growing stomach. Both Jared and Sam reached over and felt the babies kicking happily against their hands.


"Charlie is pulling up." Sam said a few minutes later. Jared took his hand away and Sam pulled me up from the bed to go to the doorway.

Jacob, Embry, Quil, and Paul came in through the door, followed by my dad.

"Wow, Bells, I swear you look bigger every time I see you." Charlie said as I reached over to hug him. "How are my grandkids doing today?"

We'd told him that it was actually twins of both genders when he'd come over for dinner the past Thursday, and he'd been concerned but completely over the moon about it.

"They both have been pretty active, especially with all the excitement today." I told him as I stepped back into Sam's arms.

"Jake told me Jared got hurt pretty bad today. He okay?" Charlie asked, looking around for him. Charlie had known that Jared and Paul were much closer to me than the others, but not to what extent. I took a deep breath and showed him to our bedroom doorway.

"Hey Charlie." Jared waved as he laid in the bed with his leg propped up.

"That looks pretty nasty there, son." Charlie said, pointing at his swollen leg.

"It's nothing, just a broken leg. I'll be healed by the morning." Jared told him with a chuckle.

"Well that must be nice." Charlie muttered before turning to me. "Isn't that your room, Bella?" He'd noticed that there was more than just Sam's things in our bedroom.

I looked up at Sam and we both knew it was time. Sam gave the other guys a look that meant to disperse and I pulled Charlie into the room with Sam following behind.

"There's something we need to tell you, dad." I said.

"You're already pregnant- with twins-, engaged, and part of a wolf pack who kills sparkly vampires, what else really is there, Bells?" Charlie asked curiously, looking worried about what it could possibly be.

"Well, it's a wolf thing…" I began.

"Go on…"

"Charlie, both Jared and Paul's wolves have a different type of bond with Bella. It's much stronger than the other wolves. They're more connected to her." Sam cut in.

"But my bond with Bella is even stronger than Paul's, and it's… different." Jared said from the bed. Charlie gave him a look of confusion.

"Different how, son?" Charlie asked Jared with his eyes narrowed and arms now crossed.

Jared took a deep breath and said, "We think it may possibly be another imprint, or at least it acts like one. I love her, sir. As in… I'm in love with her."

Charlie raised his eyebrows and looked over to me and Sam. "And you know about this, Sam?"

"Yes, Charlie." Sam told him honestly with no hint of jealousy in his voice.

"So, let me get this straight. Jared is in love with Bella, who is pregnant and engaged to another man?" Charlie asked.

"That's not quite it, dad." I said, biting my lip as I went to sit down on the bed next to Jared. I took a deep breath and reached over for his hand. "Jared and I are... together."

Charlie was quiet for a moment before looking over at Sam. "What happened between you and Bella? Did the imprint thing break or something?"

"Nothing happened, Charlie. The imprint is fine, it can't ever break. Bella and I are still engaged." Sam told him. "And very, very happy."

"I must be missing something here. How can Bella be with you and Jared?" Charlie asked questioningly.

"I'm with both of them, dad. I love Sam, and I love Jared. I'm Sam's imprint, but I also have a bond with Jared as well that's almost as strong as the imprint, it just didn't happen right away." I explained. Charlie looked between the three of us and ran his fingers down his mustache.

"So, you three are… together? As in all of you?" Charlie asked, looking between Sam and Jared with an unreadable expression.

"Not all of us together, Dad. I am with Sam and I am with Jared, but they're separate relationships. I mean, we do share a room now, but they're not together in any way, shape, or form. I sleep in between them." I told him truthfully.

"And all of you are somehow okay with this?" Charlie questioned quickly.

"Yes, Charlie, our wolves are on the same level as one another. We both love Bella and the babies. There's no jealousy. We have the same goal, keeping Bella safe and happy, and being with both of us does that." Sam said to him. "We've been doing this for over two months already."

"We just didn't know how to tell you." I whispered, looking down. "We know it's not conventional, but really nothing about us is."

"Are you happy, Bella?" Charlie asked me quietly and I smiled, holding both of my wolves' hands.

"Yeah, dad. I am. We all are." I said happily.

"Well I guess if you're happy then I have no choice but to be okay with it, Bells. I take it this is a, uh, long-term arrangement?" Charlie asked curiously.

"Life long, Charlie." Jared responded. "Just like Sam's imprint."

"And the children?"

"We're going to raise them together, Dad." I told him, cradling my hands around my stomach.

"Well then, Jared, welcome to the family." Charlie said, reaching out to shake Jared's hand. Jared reached out and grabbed his hand proudly, as I looked at them with tears in my eyes.

"Thank you, Charlie." Jared told him as they pulled their hands away.

"Now that we've discussed that, how about the Cullen's being back?" Charlie went straight into it.

"We're meeting with them tomorrow once Jared is healed. Bella thinks that if they see how happy she is, that they might be able to convince the other lee—Edward, to stay away. If not, then we'll need to take extra precautions." Sam told him. "Can you stay on the reservation tonight, just in case?"

"Well I'm not really a fan of Bella seeing them, especially in her condition, but if you both are going along with it, then it must be for the best. And yeah, I'll give Billy a call. Been meaning to catch up with him anyways." Charlie said as he ran his hand down his face. "I guess I'll uh, leave you three to it. You want me to send the guys back in?"

Sam nodded and shook Charlie's hand before I hugged him tightly, thanking him for taking it so well.

He left to go over to Billy's and sent the rest of the guys in. I stayed in the bedroom with Jared as Sam had a pack meeting with the rest of them, knowing that Jared could hear everything.

"I'm glad Charlie knows now, Jare." I mumbled to him as I climbed up into the bed with him.

"Me too, babe. I think Billy and Sue are starting to suspect as well. Once the babies come, I think we might have to go public with it, but it's up to you." Jared told me. I had been thinking the same thing.

"I know. I don't really care what everyone thinks. I mean, there's polyamorous relationships all the time, right? In some countries, men have tens of wives. There's not any laws against it, not when all parties are in favor. I can be with both of you, I just can't be legally married to both of you." I told him, completely aware that all of the wolves in the other room could hear me as well. "Our children aren't going to be ashamed to have two fathers and one mother. We're all going to be proud of it."

I could see the bright smile on his face as he pulled me up to him and kissed me proudly. "You've been reading again, haven't you babe?"

"I might've been doing my research. There's definitely nothing in tribal law against it. Apparently, it used to be a common thing in the tribe, although it was mainly the men having more than one wife…" I explained.

That night, Sam and I took a shower in our en-suite bathroom and things heated up pretty fast when he decided to wash my whole body sensually. I knew Jared was still in our bed and could hear everything.

When we came out, Jared had his eyes closed as he laid on the bed, biting his lip and breathing heavily.

"That's just cruel, Sam." He turned his attention to me. "Do you know what that does to me, babe?" He asked as I climbed into the bed and made my way over to him.

"I have an idea but I'm sure Sam knows because apparently you guys share everything about me when you're phased together…" I told him, remembering what Paul had told me. Sam chuckled and Jared pulled me over on top of him, careful not to move his leg.

"I wondered when Paul would tell you…" Jared muttered before kissing me passionately. "Spirits, why can't I be fully healed yet? I had half a mind to say fuck it and just join you in the shower."

My eyebrows rose and he blushed, looking away when he realized what he'd said. I looked over to Sam, who seemed to be watching our encounter with interest.

"Maybe next time…" I whispered in his ear breathlessly. I pulled away and saw that his pupils were now fully dilated. I turned over to look at Sam, to see his reaction to what I'd just suggested. "Sam?"

"Completely up to you, honey. J and I have already agreed on boundaries if that's what you want." Sam told me as he climbed into the bed on the other side of me, kissing my mark.

"While you're phased together, talking about me?" I muttered sensually. "You know that excites me… that you are comfortable enough to share those details about me with each other."

I turned my attention back to Jared and kissed at his neck, making him moan before turning back to Sam and pulling him to me, capturing his lips.

"You're trying to kill me, babe." Jared groaned in frustration, knowing he couldn't use his leg yet. "Would you want to try something like we're talking about?"

"I won't lie, the idea has crossed my mind since we've been sharing the bed… especially after what Paul told us." I whispered to them. "Tell me about these boundaries you've discussed."

"We can watch," Jared kissed my neck, "but definitely no touching each other, and not both at the same time, we take turns." I understood what he meant.

Sam leaned down and kissed the other side of my neck, down to my mark. "Everything is up to you, honey," he nipped, "whatever you want us to do."

Jared continued on my other side. "It's always all about you, babe."

I moaned in pleasure, feeling them both on either side of me.

"Mmm… the thought is extremely appealing," I breathed, "but not tonight, boys." I whispered to both of them with a smirk. "We'll wait for you to get healed first." I ran my fingers down Jared's chest.

Sam just laid back with his hands behind his head and a smile on his face, knowing he'd already had me once tonight.

"I've never been so thankful for super quick healing before…" Jared muttered to himself as he closed his eyes. "But that was such a tease, babe."


A/N- I'm feeling very generous today. I also just want to get to the good stuff, lol! We'll get to the Cullens very soon, I promise! Some big events are going to happen, so I wanted just a little bit of fluff in between. Charlie knows about Jared now, yay! Tell me what you think ;)
