It was a long day Monday, and Terrence didn't leave me once, it was a nice one on one time with him. Sam checked in a few times, and our telepathic link helped our separation anxiety, including helping the pain from it a little bit. Kim came over Monday afternoon, as Paul went out on patrol. All three of us ordered pizza and sat outside in the back area. I wondered briefly, how we'd have the large family we've always dreamed of when there's only a few bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. It's something we will have to consider.
Tell Kim to go inside, we will be back in a minute, I love you, and can smell you. So close I've missed you so bloody much baby.
"Hey, Kim, can you pop inside and put the kettle on, please? I think Sam said they'll be back soon." I say looking at my phone. I noticed Terrence eye me suspiciously, clearly knowing that to be an outright lie.
"They have returned, but I think you already knew that?" Terrence said as he stood up scanning the tree line after we heard the back door shut and Kim moving into the kitchen. I was unsure of how to respond!
Say, no comment baby. I wondered how long we could keep this under wraps before someone noticed.
"No, comment," I say, as it came out all innocent, instead of the way I was hoping it would come out. Terrence simply raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"Mmmhm." Is all he said in response to that one, as my husband came through the tree line with Jared, Paul and I'm guessing Embry Cal, thankfully all wearing shorts. My husband made a beeline for me as Terrence walked over to the boys giving us some space as Sam lifted me up and attacked my lips, with kisses.
"Fuck, that was painful baby. I hope there's a big gap between people phasing if we get any more."
"It wasn't pleasant." I agreed, hugging him to me, burying my face in his neck. I hear Kim squealing as Jared makes himself known to her, I smile a little, at our odd little group/family that's coming together.
"Yes! I came out and picked her up, in the end. Paul was too chicken shit to do it, so I went out, as Bella had been there for a while," Terrence said.
"I couldn't help it! The pain took me by surprise." I defended myself.
"Let's go inside, I'll introduce everyone when we've all got coffee in our hands!" Sam tells everyone.
"I got Kim on it when Terrence and I heard you coming," I tell him, kissing his lips as we enter our home. Jared and Kim are sitting at the table, coffees ready. Sam sits down with me in his lap.
Interesting fact baby, the boys can't hear my private thoughts about us. Just pack stuff.
Wow! Really? That is handy.
Indeed. We came out of our little bubble, and everyone was in their own little conversations.
"Are you going to tell her or am I?" Sam asked, Paul. Who was sitting next to Embry.
"Tell me what?" I asked pretending like I did not know, I also noticed Terrence didn't look too happy. When neither of the stunned looking wolves spoke.
"Love at first sight, baby." Sam answers for them, careful with his choice of words, with Kim around.
"Wow! I never knew you batted for the other team, Paul." Kim blurts out, not noticing the tension.
"Neither did I." He managed to get out. Paul got up and left, as Embry follows him out the door. They both phase and we hear them run away from the house.
"Did I say the wrong thing?" Kim asks.
"No, he just needs some time to adjust to the shock of having a male lover, when he always been with women:" Sam said, and I know he was watching Terrence.
"I think I need some space, to get used to the idea too. Give me a call Bella, if you need anything or just want to talk! None of us was expecting this. Before anyone says, no I'm not walking away, all my stuff is back home, so I'm going to drive back and collect it, then come back. I meant it when I said, I'm back for good."
"Paul might not take it that way," I warned him, not sure why that slipped out of my mouth, without a second thought, as even though I had known Paul longer than Terrence, I don't know either of them that well.
"Then, that is something I will have to work on when I get back if that's the case." He came over and gave me a hug, much to Sam's annoyance, suppressing a growl in front of Kim. I still don't understand why she can't be told.
"Do you know how long you'll be?" I ask, suddenly feeling a bit insecure and, I'm not sure what the other emotion is I'm feeling at this point in time.
"A week max, maybe two! I need to hand my notice in at my other job, I have. I live at least four hours away, depending on traffic and also hand in my keys to my flat. Don't worry, daughter, I'll be back! I'm not leaving my children, just closing the door on a few chapters."
"Ok!" I said feeling somewhat relieved. With that Terrence left the house, through the front door, and my eyes followed him till he was out of sight.
"You okay, baby?" Sam asked me out loud.
"I think so, wait where did Kim and Jared go?" I ask.
"I didn't think you were paying attention. They left after Paul and Embry did, plus J wanted some alone time with Kim. It's just us again baby, a-" I silenced him with a kiss and my clothes disappeared not long after that.
It's been about a week since Terrence, left and Sam and I have grown closer, and he's become even more protective of me in the past week, since we spent more time in our wolves' bodies than our humans, mating and running, I still had a lot to learn about my second skin it would seem. We spent the second week completely wild and cut off from civilisation, just the two of us.
The one thing we did do before we left was get our tattoo rings done, with Uncle Billy and a grumpy Jake as our witnesses, we felt the need to have somebody there to see our rings being inked into our skin. We explained to Uncle Billy that we needed some space, and he accepted and stepped in as Alpha and Chief of the pack.
Since he phased, he reconnected with his wolf again but doesn't want to be Alpha. When we returned, things felt different, our house was dark. We paused before the tree line, completely butt naked.
"Paul and Embry are sleeping on the couch," Sam answers my silent question in disbelief. I thought I heard something, my new hearing is still getting used to all the intense noise.
They better not have fucked, in our house. I said.
I know baby, I'll be having words if it stinks of them.
We slowly entered the house after finding shorts, and a shirt of Sam's, for me and him, and made our way into the living room. Paul and Embry lay but naked facing forwards, glued to each other's bodies on our couch. Sam and I looked at each other and silently cursed their naked butts.
Can we replace it? I asked my husband.
One hundred percent baby, hold up. Sam walked over to the kitchen and got the jug I used and filled it up. I'm glad Paul accepted Embry and I'm glad I can't see any of their dicks. My husband is the only one I want to see.
Glad to hear it, baby.
We might actually be having our own baby, hubby.
Not might, I bet money on it your pregnant, all we've done is fuck and make love, in pauses of exploring. I'd eat Paul's wolf shit if I wasn't that certain.
You wouldn't be going near me for days if you lost that bet. I told him watching amused as Sam dumps the water right over their heads. The reaction is instant, as they both leap up, Paul standing protectively in front of Embry as Sam Alpha orders them not to turn around for my benefit, and dry their eyes.
"You assholes! Bella's already asked if we can buy a new couch to replace this one! We can smell you've fucked on it. You can have it!" Sam thunders, he really is genuinely pisssed off and feels disrespected in his own home, he didn't have many rules but nobody else could fuck in our home except us.
"Shit, Bella?" Paul said somewhat brokenly which gave me a bad feeling. Sam and I share a look!
"Do I need to put the kettle on?" I ask.
"I believe so," Embry said wrapping his arms around Paul's waist, hugging him from behind.
"I'll go get shorts, don't turn around. My wife only sees my dick, brother or not."
"I don't share either…" Embry said, "In fact, I'm moving my hands over my sexy man's joystick, just in case you decide to look down." I notice him press his butt further into Paul's butt cheeks and he groans, as he moves his hands over Paul's… joystick. I see all of this through our telepathic link, as I make four coffees and cringe. Don't get me wrong! I'm happy for them, but oh my days, too much information. And Sam wouldn't look down anyway because he knows I would see more than I want to, of my brother.
"Don't move," Sam grumbles. It doesn't take him long, and he chucks shorts at their heads and comes over to hug me to him, burying his face in my neck.
"I placed the mugs on the table as Embry and Paul came over hand in hand. I eyed Paul suspiciously, which made me even more suspicious when he wouldn't meet my eyes, as I eyed him.
"What's happened?" Sam asked, moving my chair closer to his and wrapping his arm around my waist. When neither of them spoke, I started to feel something else but I couldn't put me finger on it.
"Do you want me to tell her, honey?" Embry asked him, and both Sam and I felt amused when Paul blushed.
"You're not pregnant are you?" I asked him, as he took a sip of coffee and spat it out.
"Fuck no, I'd be worried if I was. I still haven't really processed it myself." He paused, taking a deep breath.
"Dad got into a car accident last week on his way back down and didn't make it. The artic lorry crushed him when it lost the back, whoever hadn't connected the back to the driving bit, didn't do it properly and became undone! I'm sorry Bella, he's gone. It also killed some other drivers and passengers too, who couldn't avoid it."
My mind went completely blank and shut down as I stared at Paul, but not really seeing him, or thinking anything. Just a blank empty space.
"He said he'd be back in a week? We've been gone at least three I believe." I managed to get out, I knew Sam was watching my every move, his arm tightening around my waist as I said this.
"There's more…" Embry said, nudging Paul who glared at his mate, and it felt like the room temperature dropped with these next words he spoke.
"Joshua died too, Sam. I'm so sorry! He was coming back with Terrence." My husband seemed to fall back in his seat, even though his back was already against the seat if that makes any sense at all.
"And…" Embry prods Paul.
"We've been guarding the house and La Push with Jared and Billy because, because…" Paul couldn't seem to get the words out of his mouth.
"The Cullen's turned your mother into a Vampire Bella, and she killed Charlie. Fork's is mourning the loss of their Police Chief, as we are two of our own. Turns out she's the mind-reader's mate. She hasn't been back since Paul and Jared ripped her arms off. She came here all bloodied after killing Charlie."
"Bloody hell." I managed to get out, in disbelief.
Well I wasn't expecting this turn of events myself :0
Hope everyone has a fab Easter :) and see you all Tuesday
P.S - wish we could use emojis in the notes!
