A/N: First of all, sorry for being MIA since I last uploaded a chapter, but things in my personal life took over, and lately been rather tired both psycially and mentally. But Now I am very ready to jump back onto it, and write this story to finish line. Second, all of you thank you for your patience and kindness. Thirdly, tomorrow when I have a vernissage for what I have done, it is also my late maternal grandmother's birthday, if she was alive she would be turning 95 tomorrow. So this chapter aswell others I may write today, is for her honour and grace.

Siv Marianne Hildegard Nilsson (Born: Kramer), born on May 26th, 1928 and she died very peacefully in her own home on June 3rd, 2021.

She was very loved as mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and great-grandmother for sure. I will always love and miss you, gran, and our very long talks that we would have, but I now know you are at peace and that you are also reunited with your husband, my grandpa, your family members aswell your own daugther who died before her time. I hope to God, that you all are at peace to this day still.

Now onto the story shall we?

Part 5 - Talk with Dad and Others

**Last chapter...**

"Bells, we need to talk about this." Her father spoke at this point.

Now:

Bella nodded her head at this, and stood waiting for them to talk to her first, about what the hell is going on here and why she was not told in first place.

Eric sighed, as he then pulled his hand through his short, greying hair, and then said:

"Bells, listen to me, I was going to tell you like Russ and more of us would and should have, but due to circumstances of rules and whatnot, we were not allowed to tell you, as you were considerated as an outsider, as you are not part of the pack itself. But things have changed and you deserves to know whatever you need to know from here on out. For you are my daugther by blood, and that overrules any those rules of not telling you anything."

Bella nodded as she listened on her real father's talking to her about what was going on from his side of the stories that she knew she needed to hear from all three of them before her. But it made her curious on why Rick was here too. What was his story to tell to her?

Eric took a deep breath, then he said

"As you know, I am a Native descendent, of Inuvik people of Canada, aswell Chippewa-Dene and German, but what you didn't know until now, is that I turn into a bear, and that is for we are built to destroy leeches or as you would call them by, Vampires."

Bella gasped of what he told her, and she looked at him in shock. But he continued on;

"I should tell you when I phased for first time, and it was quite a shock for me aswell, as I didn't at the time know where I came from originally as you know I was adopted as a baby, then later at age 16 I ran away from home. But I was around 19, when I phased for my first time, and it was for a vampire had gotten on the lands where I was at the time living. I soon met others in my work that was just like me, as we could smell the difference in our blood and scent wise. It was there I met Russell, your first adoptive father, Bells. And he too was a wolf like Tatanka is to this day. And his story is similar to mine. Like Rick is like the others around us today. I wanted to tell you so badly, Bells, but stupid, backwards rules put a stop to it, aswell being Alpha-ordered by my Alpha made it even harder to not tell you."

Bella as she could understand it more now, and she could accept that aswell, but also love her fathers and brothers and sisters so much more now then before, for she now at least knew the truth from his side of things. Tatanka now took over and said

"Bell, I know you are hurt and feeling abandoned of why you weren't at least told by me or dad, but he like me were bound by a gag-order of our alpha at the time when you came into our lives and became another adoptive child of dad, and we all love you very much so too. You have been more than anything another child or sibling for us all, and that was the hard part of not ever being able to tell you anything about it. I wanted to, but the order made us not able to until today when you told us those things about Charlie's plans for you when or if you came back to Forks. I wished you had told us earlier. Now like your dad, I phased not at 19 but at 18, and yes, Christine is my mate, or imprint, and that is something that also prohibated to tell you about until today."

Now Rick took over, and said his part;

"As you know your brother and father's sides of their story, you only deserves to know mine aswell, Bella. I was born on a cornfield outside of Las Vegas, and when I was around 20 I too phased out to my form as bear, just slightly different kind of bear that your father shifts into. I didn't know you from the start, I only knew you from what both your fathers and brother has told me over the years, and I knew you would be a thrustworthy person to tell when time came to it.

Bella looked at him, with wonder and then blurted towards Tatanka;

"What is imprinting you talked about, Tat?" Tatanka flushed abit, but it was Eric who now took over from him, and said

"It is like you find the one for you, to spend the rest of your life with, but it doesnt have to be like that from get go. It almost always start as friendship to blossom and soon after maybe feelings of wanting something more may grow from there. I never have found my own yet, like your brothers and sisters have, for I never wanted to have one in first place, I wanted the love to grow naturally from someone, but unfourtantely I never got the one to come in my life yet, but I am not sad either, for I am too busy with your siblings and work, to even look for love. I may been married once, to Leah, but it was not meant to be for us either, and we are still good friends to this day. An imprint who later becomes marked by his/her Imprintee as in myself for example, if I was to die before them, they would die soon after, and vice versa."

"Is Mama Papa's imprint and marked by him, Tat?" Tatanka nodded and said

"Yes, when they met, you know that Papa was married 3 times before Mama came into his life, but none of them were his imprint, until Mama came into his life. And that was true love to the end of his life. Most of all they were happy to the day he passed on, Bell. Mama may be suffering by the loss of him and the bond that they shared, but with time, it will heal enough for her to be able to move forward."

Bella nodded with now tears in her eyes of hearing of all this and how her adoptive mother would be suffering from the loss of her papa. Just like she knew that her adoptive mother turned into a real mother for her, would soon go on to be with her papa, she knew now that it was for Mama was marked by her papa, and therefore their bond would end with her passing away aswell soon.

All too soon, the men before her could hear and smell the tears from her and turned to her, and Eric took her into his arms, and she began to weep in them, as she wailed out "mama is going to die aswell isn't she?" And all Eric could do was to nod and just hold her into his arms, and rock her gently. While Tatanka and Rick stood by with pain on their own faces of what she was feeling at this moment.

"I can't lose the only mother I have in my life, Daddy. She is everything to me. She is the true mother to me, as Renee never been one in first place to me ever."

At those words, they all clenched their jaws, as they fully aware knew what kind of "mother" Renee was like towards her only daugther over these years they all gotten to know. Tatanka then said

"When mama dies, she will re-join with papa in heaven, that is my own comfort in this, aswell our siblings, I just am sorry that you didn't know before today about all of this, Bell. You of all deserved to know the truth of this."

As she calmed down abit, she then said

"What does a vampire look like, at least to yourselves?" At that they were startled of her question and wondered about why she wanted to know, but Eric said

"Well, to tell you the truth, they have red or golden eyes, really pale and cold to the touch by skin, they also never ages, they have perfect eye-sight and hearing like we do, their skin is also very hard like a diamond and superfast. But they also are very visous and not easy to control nomatter what age they think they are at when and from the age they transformed into one. Why do you ask, baby-girl?"

She had grown very pale and sweaty, and was shaking now, and Eric who still had her in his arms, noticed and said

"Bell, what is it?" Bella looked up at him, and said

"I t-think there is some in Forks." At that the others too gasped and he said

"Why do you say that?"
