Mutual Need

Chapter 22

" I've heard just about enough of that" Billy hissed rolling his chair closer with Sam close by . "You have every right to be angry about their secrecy , but I've heard enough about my son . At this point I don't see how you could've raised such an accepting and loving woman as her" he said pointing to me .

" If it wasn't for your son , my daughter wouldn't be in this mess" dad hissed back . 

"If it wasn't for Jake , our daughter wouldn't be as happy or grown as much as she has" Charlie spoke .

Bella and I looked at each other then at Charlie , "your my -" I choked tearfully then looked at mom "mom is he .... is he really my-" I struggled but she nodded .

"Why didn't you tell me before? You had to know by now that I wouldn't see dad any differently" I asked my parents .

Mom sighed "I wasn't ready to be closer to your grandmother yet , and I didn't know that the chief of police Charlie Swan was the same Charlie that I had spent time with till after we had already settled here" she told me .

I looked past her and dad to Charlie ,smiling at Jake he released me with a knowing look. I walked over past them all and hugged him for all I was worth. He hugged me back gently and caressed my hair like dad's do and kissed my head choking up , Bella joined us crying her eyes out , "my girls" Charlie whispered .

"Dad" I said softly to his back as he stood stiffly , "daddy, I didn't do this to hurt you. You know me , We just wanted you to see that what we have is real before you tried to do something drastic. The babies are a bit of a surprise , but I'm happy dad . I love Jake , I love him , I love them" I told him .

" Then go stay with him" he said cooly , I stiffened "daddy?" I stuttered thickly . He shook his head "go, if you love him so much . I can't handle this" he hissed . I felt Jake come up behind me and he held my shoulders as I reached for dad who shrugged away and left.

Tears pricked the corners of my eyes as I shook , Jake turned me around into his hot chest and held me tightly . "Baby I'm sorry" he whispered , "let's get your stuff okay" he asked as he steered me towards my room. Bella followed and helped me pack , then Jake and Embry had my bags after we finished  . Mom waited for me at the end of the hall, Jake cupped my cheek "I'll get your stuff in the truck okay?" he said and kissed between my eyes lovingly and I nodded trying to smile a little till he was out the door . "I love him mom, I didn't mean to hurt anybody-" I said till she hushed me . Cupping my face she smiled sadly " I out of anybody understand Sweetpea, I'll handle your father . Don't you worry " she soothed hugging me then turned to Jake when he reappeared .

He was surprised as she hugged him till I nudged his shoulder and he hugged her back. "Thank you for making my girl so happy" she said then looked stern. " I would have rather you waited to make a family , but these things happen and your being responsible."

Charlie hugged me again and with Bella we arranged a dinner with us , our guys and Charlie soon. I was surprised to see Liam getting his stuff too , "what are you doing , he didn't kick you out" I asked . He smiled sadly and hugged "it's you and me , remember . Dad's being an ass, I'll stay at aunt Danny's " he told me . "Your always welcome to come see us on the rez too you know" Jake offered . Liam smiled " I would hope so, just because she's your wife doesn't mean she can't cook for her poor brother every once and a while" he joked and shook Jake's offered hand. "I want a copy of that photo too, since I'm an uncle". "Me too" Charlie added , I nodded "we'll get copies for everyone " I told them .

Jake gently pulled me to the truck , "lets get you home honey" he told me I nodded trying not to cry as he drove me away from home .

First thing he did when we got back to the house was carry me inside , kissing me passionately till we were breathless and set me on my feet. Looking towards my chest he lifted my necklace and smiled softly before taking it and getting the ring off of it and put it on my finger where it belonged.

I swallowed thickly at the soft loving look on his face and felt hot tears on my cheeks as he kissed my hand sweetly . "I'm so sorry honey" he murmured huskily and rubbed my arms with his hands. I blinked hot tears and sniffled juicily " I never thought he would react that way, and Charlie ... I wish they had told me sooner , I mean I have a sister and Charlie's great" I sobbed .

Jake pulled me into his arms and held me against his chest , soothing me gently before lifting me up. He carried me to the couch and sat down with me between his legs and laid back against his chest. "I know I sound like a broken record" he said resting his chin at the side of my head and breathed from my hair luxuriantly, " but it's going to be okay baby. It's actually easier in a way to have you here , your more protected and that takes a bit of stress away" he said kissing my hair and rubbed my stomach , heating it nicely . The queazy feeling from earlier all but gone .

After about a half hour I felt Jake's hot breath at my ear and shivered feeling his lips on the shell. " how bout a bath baby? You should relax for a while" he whispered . All I could do was nod my consent as I swallowed hard and my stomach tightened in anticipation. " I love how I make your heart fly like that" my husband crooned silkily and placed a hot open mouth kiss on my neck .

He lifted me with him , chuckling at my my girlish squeak . grabbing my toiletry case along the way he headed straight for the bathroom . Once the water was ready Jake took it upon himself to undress me. He kissed me softly before tugging off my t-shirt , his eyes smoldering before he twirled his finger for me to turn around . I smirked as I did , loving his gentle touch as he unhooked my bra and kissed the base of my neck twisting my hair up and clipped it in place . Next came my pants and panties , my shoes already gone .

I hummed as I got into the water while Jake got ready . Leaning back against his chest I relaxed ,resting my head back into his shoulder . "Hmm , we should do this more often" I whispered as he rested a palm on my stomach , the other came under my arm and between my breasts to hold my chin and turn my lips to his in a sensual kiss that made my blood sing.

Pulling back his eyes were darker and his hand on my stomach rubbed in small circles " you wanna go to bed ?" he asked me seductively after a while , "yeah" I breathed .

Carrying me to his room he swallowed me whole as I clung to him tightly . Both of us moaned as we settled on the bed and proceeded to make love , and for that time I had all but forgotten my father .
