I was nearly tackled by my five children and my niece when I hit the bottom step. "Mom, are you ok?" Nick asked "Mommy, we missed you." My two babies said together, "Did he hurt you?" my protector Nate asked, "You need anything?" Ness, "All of that" Seth said as he hugged me. I laughed "Well first off I am fine, second I missed all of you and love you very much, and third no he didn't I just let myself get too worked up and I could use a glass of ice tea two sugars please," I smiled "Anything else." They all looked at each other and then shook their heads no and I hugged all of them again. Seth and Nate went to the kitchen to get me a drink I sat on one of the chairs Nick sat in between my legs on the floor and with his head leaned against my knee with all three kids in my lap.
I knew that I and Paul needed some alone time and decided to ask the family if the kids could stay here for a while. Before I could answer Eddie held up four sleeps over bags for my children and said "Your mom, Mike, and the kids will be staying in the cottage until you are ready for them to come home." MeiMei and my mom smiled and then my mom said "Paul went home to cook you lunch he is waiting for you." I shook my head and sighed "Don't worry so much sis, it will all work out eventually." Sissy said. I shook my head at her "I hope there are no more blowups." and she shook her head no. We sat and talked for a while as I drank my Ice tea before I had to leave. I hugged and kissed everyone before I started to head out to my car when I remembered I did not drive here. Rose smiled at me and said "Follow me" I followed her out to the garage where I saw a beautiful purple, silver and black Bugatti sitting there. I almost exploded when Rose handed me a set of keys and Pop's and MeiMei came up behind me "Like your new car?" they all three asked in unison. I spun around "What?" I could not believe it "Th… Tha… That… That's for me?" I pointed to the beauty. Pop's chuckled and said "I always buy my kids new cars almost one every five years and I owe you a couple so I figured this would be a good start." I hugged him I knew arguing with him about me taking it would do me no good "Thanks Pop's I love you and my new car."
Pop's kissed my forehead and told me he was glad I liked it and then went back in the house with everyone else. MeiMei walked me to the car and I got in and I thought it was weird as I watched as she climbed into the passenger's seat. I looked over too her with a raised eye brow and she handed me a credit card "Don't even try to hand that back." she knew me well. I sighed and she chuckled before continuing "You are part of this family and that means you will always have access to the family money. I should have given you your card long ago." I smiled and was going to interrupt when she shook her head "I have missed and worried about you for all these years and now I need to know that even if you don't use it as much as your sisters or nice you will have the access if you need it." We smiled at each other and I hugged her. When we pulled apart I looked at her with tears in my eyes "MeiMei I am so touched and I can't thank you and the family enough. I love you all so much and missed all of you like crazy I am so glad we are all back together again. "We hugged again and then I thought of something and pulled back "MeiMei please tell me you did not give my kids cars or cards." she laughed and I frowned. She shook her head no and pulled four cards from her pocket and handed them to me. "Those are yours to give to them whenever you think they are responsible or when they turn eighteen whatever comes first. We did not give them cars either." I smiled and kissed her cheek before she got out. She walked around to my window and I rolled it down and bent down and mouthed 'I am getting the boys each a Volvo for their next birthday.' I frowned but then shook my head ok. They were going to be seventeen and I think they deserved it; they were good kids most of the time.
MeiMei and I said "See you later." at the same time and laughed and I pulled out and headed home. I knew we needed to talk but I wasn't looking forward to it. I always hated fighting and I hated when it was me in it for sure. I went way over the speed limit all the way to my house I would have to thank Rose for sopping up my new baby for me. When I parked Paul came out of my house and looked at the car "Where did you get that?" he looked somewhere between awed and scared. I had to laugh "MeiMei and Pop's gave me it and these" I held up the cards and realized there was an extra in the mix. I looked at all the cards and seen that not only did they give me a card for me and all the kids but also for Paul. I also seen a post-it stuck to the back side so I flipped his card over and read the note. I looked over at Paul and said "Go get the garage remote and come back out here." He looked at me confused but then ran in the house and I just waited by the car for him to come back out. He hit the button when he got up to me and his mouth fell open their sat a Touareg V6 TSI Hybrid, it was his dream car. What had both of us choked up was the sign on the back 'To our son, I know how much you love this car and wanted one. Well this is your welcome to the family present. We love you son all we ask is you take good care of our baby girl and our beautiful grandkids. With all our love MeiMei and Pop's and family.' When I looked over at Paul he had tears in his eyes. I reached over and pulled him into my arms for a hug. It was at times like this that he reminded me more of a boy than a man.
We stood there hugging and supporting each other until we both calmed down. He pulled back and looked into my eyes "Do they really mean that?" I smiled "Yes, honey they do." he smiled "And believe me they are some of the best people I have ever known and are great parents." He looked at the ground "I thought I was crazy." he paused then sighed "I have been feeling like they have added me to the family but I never had that but the pack." he paused again he had tears in his eyes when he looked back at me smiling "And now you and the kids." I smiled back "Well now you have two moms, two dads, five more brothers, four more sisters, a niece, me and the kids. Think you can handle it." He just stood there for a minute in a daze then smiled at me and said "Does that mean we are still a couple?" I laughed and tilted my hand saying maybe "You think we can work it out." He shook his head yes and we hugged. I went to shut the garage door. I gasped I did not see it before but on the other side of the garage was another car. I walked up to it and turned back to see he was just as shocked. I opened the driver's door and took the note off of the steering wheel. 'Dear Children, We know you needed a good family vehicle so we got you this 2011 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Our family only deserves the best. With all our love MeiMei, Pop's and Family' I handed the note to my mate and walked back to the house. I loved my other family even more now, not only did they take me back they had accepted Paul and made him feel wanted.
The house smelt wonderful when I walked in, I did not realize that my Paul could cook. He walked in behind me and wrapped his arms around my waste "I love you." I turned in his arms "I love you too" and then I hugged him again. When I pulled back I looked up to him and he bent down and kissed my forehead. He was only a couple of inches taller than me but I loved when he looked down on me with that devotion and love beaming in his eyes. I smiled "What smells so good, I did not know you knew how to cook." He laughed "I don't," he shook his head "Mom brought me back here and taught me how to cook chicken and rice" he smiled "She said it was your favorite." I clapped and jumped up and down like sissy, I guess I was spending too much time with her; I kissed his cheek "I love it, thank you." He kissed my forehead and then led me into the kitchen the smell just got better the closer we got. We sat down and he dished us up some chicken and rice and I had flash backs of growing up. I smiled to myself it tasted just like my great grandmas, grandmas, and mom "It's delicious." He smiled "Glad you like it" he sighed "We need to talk about what happened." I shook my head I got up and put our plates in the sink then walked over and graved his hand and led us into the family room.
We sat on the couch and I looked at his face I hated to say it but once again he looked his age and nothing else. I could tell he was afraid of what I was going to say and do he was so afraid of losing the connections he has made since we met. I sighed "Paul, babe listen I am sorry I over reacted that night but you have to understand what I went through with" I paused "him. I think it is cute you get jealous it makes me think of how young you really are and I love your youth you don't show it enough. However, you need to realize I love you and Emb and the rest of the guys I talk to are acquaintances, friends, and yes in some cases like Emb best friends. Do I love Emb and the rest of the guys in the packs and my pride yes but you darling I not only do I love you but I am in love with you. I love you so much." He was looking at his shoes and I recognized the look of shame on his face I reached over and pulled his chin up to me and was going to tell him to not feel so bad when he sighed. "Please don't tell me I don't deserve to feel bad or guilty" he was staring at his shoes again "No one agrees with you including me." I shook my head but he went on "Mike, Jasper, Emmett, Sam, Jake, Edward, and Pop's all told me to start acting like an adult. Billy told me that I have to choose you or jealousy and they are all right." He looked up at me "I am sorry and you can see and be around any one you want." He was looking into my eyes "I love you and the kids and the rest of the family. I beg for you to be patient with me I am so not used to having others in my life. Not only in my life but they love me and care what happens. For someone who has never had that it is hard to imagine." We talked long into the night and set up some boundaries and how we would always be truthful. We both agreed to a totally truthful relationship I knew how important it was to me but knew it was important to him too.
