~Jacob~

During the bonfire, I escape to the house to prepare myself for the discussion I was about to have with my children. I honestly had no idea how to them the truth. What do I say? Will they hate me? Will they want to meet him? Am I prepared to tell him the truth? I knew the answer to that question was no. I left before the kids did so I had time to get ready for them to come home. I remember the last time I shared very important information with them had been when I told them I was their mother because I gave birth to them.

*Flashback*

"Kids, can you all sit down please? I have something to share with you all."

"What's wrong daddy?" Zeke asks.

"Nothing's wrong. Just need to tell you guys something."

"What's up Pops?" William asks.

"Recently, you all have been asking about where your mother is. I feel I need to tell the truth about who your mother is. However, I want you all to listen and not interrupt please."

"Okay." They all respond.

"I don't know how to tell you all this but you all don't have a mother in the traditional sense. Since I am a shape shifter I am able to get pregnant apparently. I know shocking right. About 11 years ago I was pregnant with you guys. I gave birth to all four of you in my wolf form. So unlike your friends you have me as your mommy and your father is your daddy. As usual we can't talk about this outside of the family. Is there anything you would like to know?"

*End Flashback*

Their response was rather unexpected because they didn't get mad or freak out really they just asked a bunch of questions and then once they were answered they went about their day like I hadn't just told them I was their mother. I wonder if they will respond the same way. I was brought of my musings when my phone rang.

"Hey, Seth, what's up?"

"Where are you?"

Something was wrong I could hear it in his voice. Something must have happened at the bonfire.

"Jake are you still there?"

"Yeah, I'm here. What's wrong? Why do you sound like that?"

I was rambling off questions as I got dressed and headed towards the door prepared to go to wherever he was.

"I can't talk over the phone but I'm still at first beach. Can you come get me? I can't drive right now. There's too much on my mind right now."

"Sure, sure I'll be there in ten minutes."

"Okay thanks Jake."

"No problem."

Hanging up, I hop in the car and speed to first beach. Seth hasn't sounded this desperate since the night I found him at the cliffs ready to end his life. Since we left, he has been doing much better but I wonder if the whole situation is too much for him to handle. I am so worried and I have a bad feeling about this. I just hope I'm wrong.

~Seth~

I couldn't breathe as I tried to calm myself down. I am pacing back and forth trying to sort through my thoughts after watching Jared disappear in the trees. I know he knows the truth. It is just a matter of us confirming the information for him. How had things spiraled out of control so fast? Jake and I had sworn that they would never know. Now there is a chance they will find out and I could lose my children. I cannot lose them like I lost Sam or I would have nothing left to live for. I was so caught up in my own mind I didn't realize that I was standing at the edge of the cliffs. I haven't been here since the night I planned to jump. The memories of that day fresh in my mind, I decide to call Jake and ask him to head this way before I lose it and do something rash. I lose myself in the sound of the waves crashing below me that I don't notice how close to the edge I really am. It isn't until I feel someone pull me to their chest.

"What are you thinking?"

They shake me trying to get my attention. I barely register anything.

"Dad, are you crazy?"

Finally, I notice my surroundings and that my son is holding me tightly.

"Elijah, what are you doing up here?"

"I was walking along the beach and saw you up here. Why were you so close to the edge? What's going on? You've been acting strangely since we got here."

As I open my mouth to answer, Jacob runs up looking like he is afraid that he was too late. As he gets closer and can see me, he releases a breath of air. I run over to him and hug him. I start to cry and scream uncontrollably.

"I can't do it. I won't tell him! I won't share them! They are mine!"

I fall to the ground grasping tight to Jacob as he tries to console me. I don't notice that Elijah has left us.

"You don't have to tell him anything, Sethy."

I flip out hearing the nickname that he used to use.

"NO! DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN!"

I begin to hit Jacob and the ground.

"That's what he calls me. The name is tainted. He could have loved me! Why not me? Why her? I love him like no other. I share something with him that she does not! He belongs with me not her, but the jokes on me huh. She has his heart something I will never have."

Jake tries to pick me up off the ground when I start to bleed from hitting the rocks. I punch and kick him because the person I want to hurt is not there.

"I hate you! Why'd you bring me back here? Why'd I agree? Now they know. Now he will take them away from me! It's all your fault!"

"No he won't, Seth. I won't let him."

"Oh whatever! That's bullshit and you know it. What do you know? How can you stop it from happening? Who are you? Nobody that's who! He can swoop in and take them from me just like your kids' father can swoop in and take them from you. Then what will you do? Not a damn thing."

Then something clicks in my mind and I get an idea.

"We can leave. Return to Salisbury and the kids will be safe from harm. Let's go pack now and we can be gone before they even notice we're gone."

"What about their imprints? Think rationally here. Can you honestly hurt them by taking them away just to keep them from learning about their fathers?"

"FATHERS! What the fuck are you two freaks talking about?"

We swing our heads around when we hear Leah's voice and recognize that everyone is there. Henry and Elijah run over to me and pick me up. I grasp on to them like my life depends on it. Jake stands up behind me and balances my weight from behind. The rest of the children walk over to us and make sure we are okay. Finding my voice I acknowledge my sister's question.

"Calm down, Leah, and I will tell you."

"I'm not gonna calm down. I just heard Jacob mention fathers and not mothers. How does that make any fucking sense? You all aren't their parents?"

"Yes we are their parents."

"Then what the hell did that bastard mean when he said fathers?" Rachel speaks up joining in on the conversation.

Leah and Rachel notice that the pack looks totally calm while everyone else is as confused as they are. Realizing that the pack had yet to say anything they approach their husbands trying to get them to answer their questions.

"Since it seems the whole damn pack already knows how about you all share with the rest of the class." Leah glances around at all the pack members present.

When no one answers, they become irritated.

"Why the hell is everyone so fucking quiet? Answer me Paul! Do you know what this shit is about?"

Rachel slips her arm around Paul's neck pulling him in for a kiss and I feel Jake tense behind me for a brief moment before calming himself.

"Baby, I'm sorry I yelled. I just want to know what's going on."

As she tries to kiss him again, Jake loses it and starts to scream at his sister.

"You want to know so fucking bad, Rachel?"

She snaps her neck around looking at her brother waiting expectantly.

"Years ago I had sex and got pregnant then I gave birth to four cubs in my wolf form two & half months later. They have no female mother because I am their mother to answer your question Leah. The same fucking thing happened to Seth and he gave birth too so his cubs have no female mother either. Now that everyone knows, I am taking my children and heading home. Let's go."
Dead silence rings out as everyone who didn't know processes the information. The children, Jake, and I head down the cliffs to the cars but Jake is grabbed by Leah just as I am grabbed by Rachel.

~Jacob~

"Get off me."

Okay it is official this bitch is getting on my nerves. I swear I am about to strangle her ass. She has the next five seconds to let go of me, alpha's mate or not, then I'm gonna toss her like a rag doll over these damn cliffs.

"Hell no. Not until we hear the fucking truth you lying bastard!"

"It is not a lie. I gave birth so did Jacob. We have proof of our pregnancies if you want to see us when we were pregnant."

The girls let us go and become really silent. This can't be good we need to get out of here before they start to ask questions neither of us is prepared to answer. Plus, I am tired of all the drama these two create wherever they go and I still need to talk to my children and tell him who their father is. Rachel looks up and grabs my arm and turns me around to face her. What the hell is with these bitches grabbing me tonight? As I look in her eyes, I notice she is glaring at me expectantly.

"Say we believe you then who are their fathers?"

Everyone looks at Seth and me hoping to hear the answer. Instead of answering, we continue our walk down the cliffs. Noticing the tension, Henry decides to say goodbye.

"Well this was fun thanks for inviting us. We will meet you at the car dad."

William is the last to leave taking a second to glare at Paul. Thankfully no one notices the evil look my son gives his father before leaving not even Paul. Seth and I follow them towards where I parked the car.

"Where the hell do you think you are going?" Leah jumps in front of us before we can get any further down.

Before any of us can respond, Kim steps up to Leah's ear and tells her to let it go for now.

"NO! I am not letting this go. These freaks are hiding something. I intend to find out what they are keeping from us." She storms passed us heading towards the bonfire.

"We will figure out what the fuck you two are hiding. It is better if you tell us now. This is your only warning."

When we don't respond Rachel pushes passed us to follow Leah.

"Children can you all ride together. Seth and I need to talk."

"Okay pops see you at home."

"Don't go to sleep yet. We all need to talk about some things later."

The all nod and get into the SUV and drive off in the direction of our houses. Seth finally begins to calm down once the children were driving away and we were in the car. Driving off the reservation, we are silent as I let him gather his thoughts. I want to know why he freaked out earlier but I don't want to pressure him either. I continue to drive with no direction in mind as we pass through Forks and Port Angeles.

"Jared knows, Jake. He came up to me in the woods earlier. He must know I'm the one who would crumble and bring our lives crashing down around us. He wants to talk to us both at a later time. He says he wants the truth this time."

Holy shit Jared had always been fucking intuitive. Leave it to him to figure things out. We are going to have to sort it out so that we learn what he knows first. However, our first priority is to tell the kids.

"It's time to tell them. They need to know Jake."

"I agree. William saw Paul and me at the bonfire tonight. He put two and two together."

Seth looked over at me.

"What happened? Are you okay?"

"I am better now. The usual happened. He pushed all the right buttons and I gave in. He still has the same affect after all the fucking years, Seth. It pisses me off. I'm also scared too. I can't lose my kids either. They are the only thing in this world that means much besides our friendship. I know leaving isn't an option either."

"You ready to hear why I lost it?"

Driving had always been a stress reliever for us. I knew in time he would talk and I wasn't worried.

"Sam talked to me at the bonfire down by the beach. Telling me things that made me feel good and bad at the same time because he spoke of how it was when we left and how he felt. Then he told me he still loves me and I lost my nerve and I-I kissed him. I realize now that I still love him and that I will never stop loving him. He was so understanding and caring. Still the same Sam I remember. It hurt to see as he used to be before the imprint. I know if he finds out he will want to be a part of their lives and I won't be able to say no. I can't handle that so I panicked. I do that so well don't you think." He laughs. "But now I've made it worse. Leah and Rachel are going to keep digging until they figure it out. Those two are relentless when they want something."

I know he is right. Those bitches will not stop until they find out everything. But we have been careful and nothing can be tied back to Sam or Paul.

"Let's not worry about them because there's nothing to find. You did nothing wrong so quit trying to blame yourself. We both know the moment Leah phased she would have seen it someone's memories and figured out everything out anyway. For now we need to focus on two things the kids and Jared."

"Yeah you're right. I tend to forget she is one of us. I'm gonna text Jared to meet us tomorrow so we can get this over with."

I nod my head in agreement. I watch as Seth pulls out his cell phone and texts Jared. After a while Jared responds.

"He says he will meet us wherever tomorrow after he finishes patrol."

Once that is sorted out, I turn the car around and head back home. Heading home things are quiet as Seth and I prepare to tell the children the truth. By the time we arrive, I am prepared for the worse but hoping for the best as I pull into the garage.

"You ready Jake?"

"It is now or never."

~Seth~

We walk in the house and see the children sitting at the dining room table waiting for us to return.

"Hey, kids we are going to tell you all who your fathers are tonight but we need you to be quiet until we finish telling you everything please. Then once we are finished you can ask or say anything you want to."

The kids nod in agreement.

"First off let me say that I am sorry about my behavior earlier. I didn't mean to scare you all. I was just a little nervous about some things but there is no need to worry now because I'm okay. Now let's talk about your father. For years I have avoided talking about him because it still hurts to even mention him by name but now that we are back in La Push it's time you knew the truth."

Taking a moment to gather my thoughts and take a breath, I look down at my hands because I cannot look at my children as I tell this story.

"I always knew I was gay and had been in love with the same guy for years until finally I was old enough and he made his feelings for me known. We began dating in secret because neither of us wanted to face the community or the pack. I wasn't ready to deal with any kind of possible rejection. Everything was going great until one summer when I noticed he was sleeping more and starting getting sick. As you know shifters never get sick after the change. When I put two and two together, I realized he had imprinted and had been fighting for months and it was taking its toll on his health. That day I approached him and told him that I knew about the imprint and I was letting him go. It wasn't easy for me to get him dressed and take him to meet my sister that day so he could accept the imprint but I wanted him better. I loved Sam too much to watch him die. Slowly things progressively worse after Leah relocated and phased for the first time and had no control over her thoughts and I had to watch their relationship progress and feel their emotions grow into love. Eventually, Sam and I were in a situation where we were alone together and we lost control. Giving into our weaknesses for each other, I took advantage of the heat of the moment to allow a last goodbye. I had already planned to end my life that night but thankfully Jake stopped me. I found out I was pregnant when we got to England and I want you to know that I wouldn't change how anything happened."

When I was finished, I looked up from my hands and saw mixed emotions from my children. They were definitely holding back until I was finished.

"Will our imprints be like that?" Sophia looks at me with pleading eyes as she asks.

"No sweetie."

"Are you going to tell him?" Henry questions with acid in his voice.

"I don't intend to. It will only complicate things son."

Henry gets up from the table without saying anything else.

"Does anyone else know?" Olivia questions.

I look over to Jake and he shrugs.

"We think someone might know but we aren't sure. If they do, I will let you know."

"How should we treat him now that we know?" Elijah speaks up.

"Continue to treat him as your alpha and give him the respect he deserves as such."

"Ha respect. How can we respect him when he barely respected you or Aunt Leah?" Sophia states as she leaves the table.

I start to get up from the table to follow her but Olivia gets up and says she will go. I signal for Jake to go ahead and talk to his children while EJ continues to comfort me.

~Jacob~

Watching Seth share his story gives me the strength to share mine even though I don't know the outcome and that scares me shitless. I sit up in my chair and lean forward towards the table.

"I will understand if after you all hear this you will not want to deal with me anymore. Your father and I came together for slightly different reasons. We were both lonely and frustrated that we had yet to imprint. We knew the risk of dating someone who could be hurt if we imprint on someone else and didn't want to risk it. One night, he caught me starring longer than I should have after we got off patrol and figured out that I was checking him out. I freaked out thinking he was going to kick my ass and started to run away. He caught up to me and instead of kicking my ass offered me a deal. We keep each other company for as long as we both are happy or we imprint. We weren't supposed to catch feelings but you know I am a stubborn man and never listen. I fell for him hard and started to realize two years into our arrangement that I was in love with your father. I was a fool though because a year later I lost him to his imprint, my sister, Rachel."

I felt a hand wipe my face and I realized I was crying. I say thank you and gather my strength to continue.

"My whole life and my heart belonged to Paul Lahote for three years. It was a bad situation to be in because at any moment I knew he could break my heart. Even after the imprint I couldn't stop loving him so I decided to avoid both of them and had gotten very good at it. However, I knew that sooner or later we would bump into each other and so I made long term plans to leave La Push once they started planning their wedding. I hadn't seen Paul alone for about a year but it all came crashing down after patrol one night. He cornered me and confronted me and we ended up arguing and I finally relented giving into temptation one more time. That night I realized that he would never care for me in the way I cared for him so I called Bella and left La Push behind. Paul Lahote was a memory from a life left. The only good things to come out of us were you four."

"So was coming back to La Push all a part of some grand scheme to get him back? You wanted to rekindle your affair?" William screams in my face before storming off to the backyard.

"What's he talking about daddy?"

"I think your brother misinterpreted when he saw Paul and I earlier in the woods."

"Misinterpreted what dad: you two getting it on while his wife was at the bonfire unaware? Was the thrill of fucking in the woods while his wife was nearby a turn on? Who knew you would be so easy dad? Why do you have to be such a whore?" Halley speaks up.

"Yo Halley chill. Give your dad a break and show him some respect. You two didn't even listen before you started accusing him." EJ jumps into the conversation clearly irritated with his cousins.

"Screw this." Halley gets up and goes to the garage. Seconds later the car is pealing out the driveway.

Sarah comes over and takes my hand giving it a squeeze. I notice that I have yet to hear from my youngest that has been very quiet during this whole conversation. I look and notice he is gone too. I knew this reaction was a definitely a possibility but it still hurts. I don't have the strength to stay downstairs anymore and head upstairs to my room. As I close my door, I hear Henry return and he begins to argue with Seth. This can't be good.

~Seth~

"That's enough for tonight. Kids go to bed and we'll talk more tomorrow. It will take some time for you all to adjust to what you heard tonight."

Sarah heads up to her room and EJ heads over to our house. As I go upstairs to check on Jake, the kitchen door swings open and Henry walks in.

"Hey son, I understand that you are feeling upset about the events of tonight and who your father is. We will talk more tomorrow. I have sent the others to bed to get some rest."

Henry throws a chair at the wall.

"You understand? You understand nothing dad! What do you know? Nothing that's what! We have to deal with the fact that our father is our fucking alpha. On top of that because of the stupid pack mind I have to be on guard about my thoughts constantly to make sure I don't slip up and let someone know that the almighty alpha is a jackass who knocked up my dad and left. However, I feel that bastard needs to know about us and all that he put you through. So be it if I break up a fucking happy home. I can't stand Leah anyway. I don't want to be selfless I want to be spiteful."

"Don't son. Never make decisions out of hate Henry. I can't let you destroy them like that. I won't."

"You won't? How are you going to stop me, huh? All I have to do is think about it while I am phased."

I grab Henry as he makes a break for the door. I have to stop him from phasing knowing that Sam, Paul and Jared are running patrol right now. He is trying to get loose. Damn it he is so strong willed and stubborn just like his father. In the next second, he shakes more and begins to blur. I let him go as he phases running out of the house breaking the door in the process of getting out of the house. I follow and phase too. He is revealing everything through the mind link and I am trying to stop the flow of information he is leaking out by being louder. Shockingly, I don't see any faces just hear the conversations repeated over and over. Since no one reacts to what Henry is showing I figure that everyone is gone and start to phase back to my human form.

"So it's true then?"

I phase back to human before I can recognize who the voice belongs to. Immediately I phase back and try to see if I can figure out who that was but the pack mind is silent. Henry has already phased back along with whoever questioned if it was true. I run for Jacob's house and as I arrive I hear a knock at the door. By the time I phase back and pull on some cutoffs Jacob left off for me, Jake is walking down the stairs to answer the door. I join him at the door and before I can stop him to tell him about what happen he opens the door.

"Hello. What are you doing here so late?" Jake asks.

"No hellos. Explain yourselves. NOW!"
