PREVIOUSLY-
After breaking away, Charlie cleared his throat. "I meant every word I said, boys."
"Thank you, Charlie. Truly." Sam told him graciously.
"It's Pops now, bro. Our Pops, your Pops. Hell, he might as well be Pops to the whole damn pack." Paul said with a laugh.
"If they want me to be, son, I will be." Charlie said seriously but with a chuckle. "I'd be more than happy to."
"Well now we all know why Bella and Embry phased. Bella, would you mind if I called Emily up here? I want to tell her before we tell the rest of the pack, and I know she wants to see the babies." Sam asked.
"Of course. Here, you can use my phone." I replied, handing him my cell.
Sam took it happily and walked out front to call Emily.
"So you're my sister, huh?" Embry said as he sat down next to me on the couch.
"I guess I am. How are you coping with that info?" I asked him, worried about how he must feel.
"Relieved. So relieved. Happy, too. Ever since I phased, I knew that one of my pack brothers was my real brother but my mom wouldn't ever tell me who my dad was, so I didn't know. Now I have a brother and a sister. And I guess a Pops too." He chuckled. "That's more than I could ever ask for."
"Don't forget a niece and nephew, and another one on the way from Sam and Emily. Two brother-in-law's and a sister-in-law. Your family just multiplied exponentially, bro." Jared told him proudly.
Embry looked down at Aurora and smiled. "I guess it did, huh?" He smiled.
"Do you want to hold your niece?" I asked him.
He nodded and I lifted Aurora into his arms. He held her gently, rocking her back and forth next to me. I smiled happily at the sight.
Sam walked back in and told us that Emily was on her way.
Paul looked over at Charlie and said, "Hey Pops, mind if I steal my son?"
"I'll bring him to you. Don't be trying to get up in the condition you're in." Charlie told him, standing up to walk Elijah over and place him in Paul's arms.
Emily arrived a few minutes later and walked in, immediately making a B-line for the babies.
"Oh my gosh, Bella, they're perfect." Emily said excitedly as she kneeled in front of Paul, looking at Elijah. "Sam told me that you phased. Are you okay?"
"I'm perfect, Em. Phasing even somehow healed me from their birth too." I replied truthfully.
"I'm so glad. How could you have phased though?" She asked me, moving over to look at Aurora. Sam responded before I could.
"Because she's my sister." Sam told her, causing her to turn around and look at him immediately. "And Embry is my brother. We just found out that my father is their father too."
"You're kidding?" Emily asked, looking back at me then at Charlie.
"Nope. My mom just confirmed it for us and she told us about Embry too. Apparently Renee and Tiffany were best friends back in the day." I explained to her.
We all explained the rest to her about Charlie and what happened with Edward too. She ended up switching places with Embry on the couch so that she could have a turn holding her niece as well and I smiled knowing that I now had a sister-in-law.
A short while later, Elijah started whining and Paul lifted him up, making a face.
"Hey babe, I think this little man needs a change." Paul grimaced and I laughed.
"I'll take him." Jared replied, walking over to get him.
"Can you put some clothes on him too? And bring something down for Aurora as well. One of the smaller outfits." I asked him. He smiled and nodded before taking Elijah up the stairs.
We still didn't have very much for the babies considering they came so early but we had enough to be okay for a little while.
Jared brought Elijah and a small onesie down for Aurora, smirking like crazy.
"What's the face for?" I questioned.
He held up the onesie he brought for Aurora and I just shook my head, smiling. It said 'Daddy's little girl'. He handed it to Emily so that she could put it on Aurora before showing me Elijah proudly. I looked at his shirt which said 'Papa's little boy' and laughed.
"I guess we got it on the head when we picked those ones out, didn't we?" I said, looking between my husbands.
"Hell yeah we did." Paul responded.
"I don't get it?" Charlie questioned, looking between us.
"Elijah is Jared's son and Aurora is Paul's daughter. Jared goes by Papa and Paul goes by Daddy." I explained out to him.
"How in the world do you know which one—"
"We can smell the difference, Pops. My baby girl smells more like me and our little man smells more like Jared. We all could tell immediately." Paul told him.
Charlie just did a 'huh' motion and muttered, "Wolves."
A short while later it was time for the pack meeting. Charlie had said his goodbyes, told me he was proud of me, and said that he promised nothing would ever change the relationship we had.
After the guys got settled into our living room, Sam began the meeting.
"First things first, we have some news for the rest of you." Sam began. "Bella and Embry are my sister and brother."
Their eyes went wide and they looked over at me and Embry in shock.
"No way! Are you serious?" Quil asked first.
"Very serious. Bella's mother confirmed that both Bella's and Embry's father was Joshua Uley." Sam told them.
"And Charlie?" Jacob asked, directed at me.
"He was down here until just a few minutes ago, Jake. Nothing will ever change between me and Charlie. He'll always be my dad and he even offered to be a dad to Sam and Embry too." I explained.
We discussed the rest of what all happened and the whole meeting the entire pack played 'pass the baby' with both of my children, though Paul and Jared requested them back toward the end.
After they left, Sam stayed behind a moment with both me and Embry. "I'm going to go down to the council building tomorrow and put in the paperwork to claim you both as my blood siblings. If that's alright with you, of course." He told us.
"That sounds great." I replied.
"Same, but what are we going to tell my mom?" Embry asked him worriedly. "I mean she's not exactly much of a mom these days anyways, but are we going to tell her?"
"Do you want to tell her?" Sam questioned.
"I don't know if it's worth it…" Embry muttered. "It's not like she knows about the pack anyways and half the time I end up crashing at your house, so I don't think I do. "
"Then we won't tell her. Embry, if you want to move in with me and Emily, we'll be more than happy to have you." Sam told him seriously.
"Really, you'd do that?" Embry asked with a spark of hope in his eyes.
"Of course we would. I was considering it before we even found out you were my brother anyways. So long as you help out around the house and don't leave a mess." Sam replied.
"I think—I think I'd like to take you up on that." Embry told him.
After everything with them was settled, they left. I looked over at my husbands and our children and I motioned for them to come upstairs.
Once all 5 of us were upstairs in our room, Paul handed me Aurora because she needed to feed again. I began feeding her and then Elijah started crying, apparently wanting to be fed as well.
"Do you think you can feed both of them at the same time?" Jared asked me as he tried to calm Elijah down.
"I can try. Maybe with some help at first?" I responded, completely shedding my shirt, making it easier.
They both helped me hold both of our children while they fed. Once the babies were done, Jared carefully wrapped them back in their blankets and placed them both in the portable crib we'd sat up in our room for the first few weeks.
"So a lot of shit has happened today…" Paul said as I settled between the two of them in bed, pulling my shirt back on.
"I still can't believe it." I replied, thinking back on the day's events.
"We're parents." Jared stated as if still not quite believing it himself.
"We are."
"Are you sure you're okay from the birth, B?" Paul asked me worriedly.
I nodded. "I guess it's from phasing, but I don't seem to have any of the normal post-partum issues. I am tired but my stomach is back to normal, I don't feel any pain, I'm not even bleeding. I don't quite understand it. I'm thinking that it's why the babies were growing so fast. It was because my body needed to phase but didn't want to hurt our children by doing so? It's hard to say."
"And you're like 4 inches taller and have a more tanned tone to your skin." Jared told me. I hadn't even looked in the mirror yet, so I raised my eyebrows.
"Really?" I questioned, looking back and forth between the two of them.
"Yeah, baby, you were hot before but damn. And don't think we didn't notice that you imprinted on the both of us too. Do you have any idea how fucking excited we were?" Paul replied and I smiled at them. My imprints.
"Everything is perfect now." I told them happily. "We do still need Sue to come by in the morning to check the babies out, but I can tell that we'd know if anything was wrong with them. Hearing their heartbeats, being able to scent them, it's incredible."
"Now you can experience all of the things that we do, babe." Jared said. "Now why don't we all get some sleep before they both wake up again?"
"I think that sounds amazing. Thank you both for everything today." I told them sleepily as I laid down between the two, now noticing that my body temperature was the same as theirs.
A/N- It's not quite over yet. It'll be soon though. You guys know by now how much I hate ending my stories, but alas they all have to end.
On a more personal note, I had to chop off my hair (to my chin) :(
I know you guys haven't seen my hair, but I've had it several different bold colors this year. (Platinum, then dark blue into purple into pink ombre, then silver, then a beautiful dark blue into teal into seafoam/aqua ombre, and now it's back to being a dark brown.) Anyways, it was sad and I miss it now, but oh well. It'll grow back.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter and please review.
