Shock & Aww
~16 Years Later~
~Salisbury, UK~
~3rd Person~
Every morning, the boys now turned grown men go through the same routine. First, they both wake and shower, brush teeth, wash faces, and then head to the meeting house of the week. Second, they prepare breakfast and talk about the schedules. Thirdly, they pack their lunches because it is cheaper than going out for lunch. Now the routine has become normal and easy but in the beginning it was stressful and confusing to be travelling between two houses for breakfast every other week. They had to figure how to work around work and school, as well as, children and believe them when they tell you it was hard. Some days Jacob and Seth would come home and curl up and cry for hours after the kids were put to bed. They weren't complaining but just saddened that their families couldn't be a part of this miraculous experience that they call their lives. Granted they had the Cullens who helped from time to time but it didn't quite fill the void in their hearts because of the portions that Sue and Billy, as well as, Sam and Paul have back in La Push. The days they feel like giving up or throwing in the towel they remember the beginning and remember how far they have come.
Flashback:
After seeing themselves in wolves form it was easier to come to terms that they were indeed pregnant. For the next couple of weeks, Carlisle and Esme stayed with the boys doing research while the rest of the Cullens did research elsewhere. Jacob and Seth were giving up hope that they would know anything and would have to walk in blindly. Until one day Seth came up with an idea.
"Why not go ask our parents and see if they have any more information on shifters. There could be something about shifter pregnancies and how they play out."
"Just don't ask about pregnancies in particular, Doc. Billy will know that you there in some capacity for us in the first place and I really don't want the old man putting two and two together."
"Of course boys, what a brilliant idea and I can head back tonight so that I can be there tomorrow. Hopefully, there are some legends, books, or journals on the subject and we will get the answers we need."
Carlisle that night and returned the following week but he looked more determined than ever when he stepped through the doors of our apartment. When we unloaded his luggage, it was all information on shifters and their pregnancies, even same sex relationships. So the boys learned a lot over the next 48 hours of constant reading but had yet to see anything about pregnancy yet.
"This is interesting. This book states that you will have 126 days gestation period because of both your shifter and human chromosomes. The birthing process, unfortunately has not been documented so we will have to play it by ear, boys. I think Esme has lunch for you boys and then I think maybe you all should rest up."
The whole time Carlisle spoke he hadn't noticed the young shifters freaking out at the table they were sitting at. Only two months. There is no time. We won't have everything in time. What about school and work? How are we gonna raise babies by ourselves.
Sensing their nervousness, Esme steps in the room instead of making the boys come to her. Placing the food on the table in front of them, she plants herself between them and hugs them both.
"Everything will be okay. Relax yourselves; all this stress is not good on either you or your babies. Don't worry about the little details, we will figure out them for you. Just worry about the precious things growing inside of you both. In fact, I will take care of a few things today for you both and if you feel up to it you both can join me."
Esme's soothing words had calmed Jake and Seth down and they were able to focus on their food.
~Six Weeks Later~
Fully accepting that they would be parents the last six weeks had been a whirlwind of shopping, planning, building, and puking. Whoever said pregnancy was blissful was full of shit. The boys were plotting their revenge on every pregnancy book out because none of them were accurate. Besides the constant bathroom breaks the mood swings the poor boys went through were astronomical. One minute they were happy, the next they were crying, and lastly they were so furious that they would shift in the house mid yell. It was quite hilarious to everyone else but them and they decided to no longer leave their rooms.
~132 days later~
"FUCK all the damn books and journals. NONE of them were accurate. Its been longer than they said it would be. I am still fucking pregnant and Seth over there is still fucking pregnant. So listen here pup you better come out of me in the next couple of hours or I am taking you out. YOU HEAR ME!"
"Calm down, Jacob. Screaming at them won't get them to come any faster."
"Oh yea and you sitting all quiet in a corner coloring is going to get them to come out? Forgive me oh great and wise one. I forgot how fucking brilliant coloring is for motherfucking childbirth."
"Okay. Have it your way. OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWW!"
"GIVE THE FUCKING COLORING BOOK! I can't believe that shit fucking worked."
"Fuck the motherfucking coloring book. GO be fucking useful bitch and find me a damn doctor now."
Jake stands up to leave but something weird happens. Seth shifts involuntarily in the middle of the house and bounds out of the house.
Oh fuck my face. This is some crazy shit. "Hey Carlisle."
"Hey Jacob."
"Seth took off into the forest like a bat out of hell after he phased involuntarily. I think he is in labor and I am here by myself and I don't know what to do but I am going to chase after him and watch after him. So follow our scents please. Okay Bye."
Jacob ran to the area where he heard Seth's whines and cries, and noticed Seth had crawled into a den.
~Seth~
Oh the pain is unbearable. This is ridiculous. Why can't it stop? Where is Jake? We said we would do this together.
"Seth, can you hear me?"
"Yeah. Sorry about that. My wolf told me to go and it would handle everything."
"It's okay. How are you feeling? Do you need anything? I called Carlisle."
"HOW DO YOU THINK I AM DOING!"
"Sorry Seth stupid question."
"No am sorry the pain is too much but I need to go now my wolf is coming to the surface. So see you on the other side partner."
"You bet buddy."
After, I told ya later to Jakey, the pain became monumentally worse and became constant. I couldn't communicate with anyone but I could see and feel everything. It is time, Seth. Over the next forty-six hours, I pushed and breathed until all the pain subsided and my wolf receded. Until next time, I'll be here Seth. Haha next time that's rich. I was shocked into the present by the feeling of three different mouths suckling on me for their nutrition and one last one rubbing their face on my paw for space.
~Three Weeks Later~
My pups and I stayed in the den until they phased to human. Shockingly, it happened overnight. I went to bed with three cubs bundled next to me and woke up to the shrill cries of newborn babies. Thankfully, Esme was there with clothes. Bringing them back in I noticed Jake was gone. Mhmm, I wondered where he is?
~Jacob~
Today! IT HAD TO BE FUCKING TODAY! My pup had to come the same day that Seth was coming home with the cubs. I can't believe he had three at one time. My wolf had said it was time after the first contraction hit me and I phased. I ran to another den since Seth was still in the other den with his cubs. I hope this doesn't take long. We want to name our children together. OH MY FUCK MY BALLS! SHIT! This shit hurts! I need something! GET THIS FUCKER OUT! I love you but you have to come out now!
My wolf came to the forefront and handled the birth like a champ. He knew what to do alright I'll give him that but he could have warned me about all this motherfucking pain. Now it's increasing and staying. Is there no end? I am swearing off fucking forever! Its official NO DICK is GOOD DICK!
Seventy fucking one hours but it was well worth it I guess. I had my beautiful pups and they were doing an excellent job of suckling the first time even though I had to switch off because I only had room for three at a time. One was always left off at suckling time but never left out the four of them are attached at the hip. I wonder if they will take as long to phase back to human form because apparently I can't until they do but it's totally worth. I apologize for every negative word I said because seeing my cubs changed my views. However, don't ask me to go near any motherfucking dick again in my life.
~One and Half Weeks Later~
I am woken up by shrill crying. I glance down and see four beautiful babies. I let out a howl and Esme comes out with clothes and blankets. Heading back to my new house (which is right next to Seth's house), we walk in and I am amazed by the work that was done. These vamps are sure talented. Heading up to the nursery, I place the babies in the cribs (so grateful they bought more).
"Bro you back?"
"Yeah, I am upstairs in the nursery. You got the babies with you? I want to see them."
"Sure, sure coming right up."
Seth walked in and placed the babies down and I got a good look at them all. Wow they are the perfect mixture between him and Sam. That's crazy and their features are identical. Inky black hair, puffy cheeks, brown eyes, and round faces.
"Have you named them?"
"Yeah sorry couldn't wait for you."
"It's cool. I understand so let me hear them."
~Seth~
In the beginning, I was nervous about raising four kids by myself but then I realized I am not alone. Jake and I could do this together and we also had the Cullens, when they were around. The first few weeks were indeed challenging between the cubs, university, and my internship. Then I got into the swing of things and by that time Jacob was coming home with his cubs. He had four cubs too, so our lives will always be interesting to say the least. He called me into the room and glanced at my babies and asked for their names and I reached for my firstborn.
"This here is Henry Samuel Clearwater."
I pick up my second born.
"This is Sophia Ta'Leah Clearwater."
Next, I pick up my stubborn child, my third born.
"This is Olivia Sue Clearwater."
Lastly (but in no way least), I pick my youngest.
"This here is Elijah Jacob Clearwater."
~Jacob~
"Aww thanks, bro."
I cannot believe he named his son after me. Even though I knew I would be doing the same thing it is an amazing thing to hear. I noticed he gave his firstborn Sam's name, how I wish I could do that too. Ha things are not that easy in this world, Jake. Instead of focusing on Paul, I pick up my firstborn.
"This is Sarah Rebbekah Black."
My second born is picked up while Seth holds Sarah.
"This is Halley Rachel Black."
Seth places Sarah in her crib and takes Halley in his hands. As he coos at Halley, I grab my third born.
"This is William Ephraim Black."
I place William back in his crib and walk over to my youngest.
"And this is Hezekiah Seth Black."
END FLASHBACK
Eight kids in two houses was definitely a lot of work over the years but it is so worth it whenever one of them takes a moment to just spend time with us or show us some love. Seth and I have gotten closer over the years. He is no longer annoying instead he is my best friend and confidante. We both have matured and grown into the roles we were placed into all those years ago. However, I would never change any moment of our lives.
"DADDY!" A shrill scream comes from Sarah as she heads down the stairs.
"Yes, baby girl."
"Billy and Zeke used all the hot water up on purpose. Now how am I supposed to get ready for school?"
"Let the water heater do its job and I will take you to school okay."
"Okay daddy."
Sarah kisses my cheek before heading out the room.
"Morning pops." The boys sit down and grab cereal.
"Hurry up you guys, Seth and the kids will be here soon."
"Okay dad." My Halle replies.
Each of them is so different that you wouldn't believe that they were related besides their looks. Now that they are older they have my inky black hair, their father's jaw and bone structure, the boys have my build and the girls carry their father's build, personality wise Sarah and Zeke are both more laidback and relax most of the time and would rather not fight if need be and Billy and Halle will scrap you in a minute if you piss them off.
It is so funny watching them interact with each but even more so the Clearwater kids. When they all get together all Seth and I have to do is sit back and watch because we are guaranteed a good time. I am broken out of my revelry by the doorbell.
~Seth~
I don't know why Elijah rings the doorbell anymore but I guess he gets that from me. My children look nothing me. Instead they look like their father, with their brooding looks and dark grey eyes that pierce the soul. Their build on my daughters is more closely related to mine because their father is an Adonis and superbly built but my boys take after him in that retrospect. It is a nice blend because they got his looks and my personality. So it is a nice mix.
Walking into the house, it is business as usual. The kids are scrambling to get it together while Jacob just observes how they handle things. Once things settle down, we go over the morning check list and see who has what for afternoon activities. Scheduling is a godsend in our households and they keep us from getting overwhelmed. As we are headed out the door, the phone begins to ring. Jacob answers and I hear Bella in the background.
"Hello Jake."
"Hey Bells."
"It's time to go back to La Push. It's time to see your parents. They aren't doing too well. Carlisle already is there to take care of them. However, he thought it was best we called both of you. If you want we will watch the kids."
Jacob glances over to me to make sure I am aware of the conversation and seeks my input. I shake my head because Bella is right about one thing it is time. It is time for us to return and time for everyone to learn the truth, because I am too tired of hiding and covering up things.
"Nah that's alright, Bells. They will be coming with us. It's about time we returned home and settled somewhere."
"If that's what you want. We booked you flight, it leaves in an hour and as per usual everything you all need stateside will be there when you arrive. Alice wanted me to ask about the kids sweet 16 if you guys are gonna still do it."
He glances and I nod. We can have it there with all of our family.
"Yeah Bells find somewhere in Port Angeles to fit everyone please. Thanks bye."
"You're welcome. Bye."
"Children change of plans. Pack one carry-on bag with necessities only and things that you won't be able to replace in America. We leave in ten minutes."
Jacob and I head off and pack up both cars and in ten minutes we are headed to Heathrow Airport for another transatlantic flight back to Seattle.
~Ten hours later~
Landing in Seattle, I have a bittersweet feeling because it has been since either of has been home and now we are not only returning but we are returning as parents. I have to admit, I am scared shitless. Before getting into our cars, Jake pulls me into a hug and tells me it will be okay and not to worry.
Two hours later, we are pulling onto the reservation. We haven't stopped at our houses yet. Instead, we are going straight to Billy's to see Billy first and then we are going to see mom and then more than likely go and see the pack if they aren't at one of the houses we go to first. Why do I feel everything is going to change and nothing will ever be the same?
~Billy's House~
~Jacob~
Pulling into the driveway, I start to get nervous and my hands start getting sweaty. I can hear the voices in the house, including my sister and Paul, debating whether or not to go look for Seth and me.
"They don't deserve to say goodbye they left us. Does anybody else remember that?" Paul and Jared yell at the others.
"What the hell does it matter these are their parents they would want to know. I bet you would wanna know if it was your parents." Embry retorted to the duo.
Getting out the car, I sneak a look over at Seth seeing if we should leave. He takes a deep breath and in that second it gets quiet in the house.
"It doesn't matter anymore because they are already here." Quil states matter-of-factly.
