Erin's Three

Erin began teaching in the local high school when the girls were four. She had given birth to a son two years after the girls were born. James was the spitting image of his father.

"Girls are you ready?" Erin calls out to her daughters.

"Yes Mumma," They reply walking into the living room.

"You look so beautiful," Erin says.

"Don't cry Mumma," Maeve says.

"I'm allowed to cry. My beautiful princesses are sixteen today," Erin replies.

"Oh Mumma," the girls reply, hugging her.

The girls are now all taller then Erin. Maeve is the shortest at 165cm. Molly and Mairead are both 172cm, gaining some of their father's height. Today there was going to be a party held at Granny's. Fairies and shifters were coming from all over the world as it is also the 70th jubilee that Granny Brighid has been Queen.

Mairead is wearing a beautiful long sleeved purple dress with little gold embroidered daisies on the bodice. Her dark brown hair pulled up into a simple half up do. Her green eyes sparkling when she spots her father carrying her younger brother. "Let me take him dad," she says.

"You look beautiful, princess. He's ready for a nap but we need to get going," Adam says kissing his daughter on the forehead and handing over his three year old son, Aaron.

"Dad, is Jack meeting us there?" Molly asks her father.

"Yes, princess," Jye chuckles, carrying his three year old son, Archie. "Just breathe Molly. Jack will be there waiting for you and you look beautiful," he says kissing the top of her head.

Molly has his blonde hair and her mother's green eyes. "I know, but do you think he'll like the dress?" she asks worriedly, wiping her hands over her long sleeve dark blue and gold dress.

Jye chuckles again. "Darling, he likes you no matter what you wear but I'm sure he'll like it," he says and Molly blushes.

"Come on guys, the other kids are in the cars already," Kingston says walking inside. "Looking good, my princess," he says to Maeve. "Red suits you," he compliments her before giving her a hug and kissing her forehead.

Maeve just smiles sweetly. "Thanks Dad," She is wearing a red long sleeved dress with gold embroidered leaves and filigree trimming.

"Okay, come on birthday girls. Granny is waiting," Kingston adds and claps his hands together.

They leave in three cars. Adam is driving his kids, Mairead, nine year old Sophie and little Aaron. Jye is driving his kids, Molly, fourteen year old James, and Archie. Kingston is driving Erin and their children Maeve, ten year old Judah and three year old Aiden. The triplets were a complete surprise three years ago, but the other kids have loved and spoilt them since they were born.

"Oh shit!" Jye says as the guys and Erin stop and Molly runs up to Jack. A red and gold aura surrounds them as he spin's her around and kisses her in front of everyone. The other guys just chuckle and pat him on the back.

"You knew this would happen, babe," Erin says holding his hand.

"Yeah I did but..."

"But she's your little girl," Erin finishes and Jye just nods.

"Maeve can smell that?" Mairead asks her sister. Their parents just look at her strangely.

"Smell what?" Maeve asks.

"Like hot cocoa and a slightly woodsy smell. Kind of like a warm hug but yummy," Mairead says.

"Umm no," Maeve says scrunching her face up as she looks up at her sister.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me," Adam groans out, realising what is happening.

"Dad? What is it?" Mairead asks him concerned, as she turns around to look up at him.

"I do believe you are smelling your mate, darling," Erin says and Mairead's mouth opens and her eyes go wide.

"Don't look now but a hot guy is coming our way," Maeve says to her sister.

Mairead holds Maeve's hand and keeps her head down.

"Your majesties," A young man says with a bow. "My name is Jonathon De Gruçheon. Dragon. My grandparents are King Edmund and Queen Ania," he says sticking his hand out.

"Ahh Prince of the Northern Dragons. It is nice to meet you Jonathon. I'm Erin. These are my mates, Jye, Adam and Kingston. My children are all spread out, but these are two of my daughters. Maeve and Mairead. Their triplet sister is over there with her mate, Jack," Erin says and the guys shake hands with the young dragon.

"Don't you have a twin brother?" Maeve asks him.

"I do. Julian is just helping our mother. She insisted on bringing presents for each of you girls when she found out it was your birthday," Jonathon replies with a smile.

"Jon!"

"Speak of the devil," Jonathon says before turning around. "Brother," he says to an almost identical version of himself.

Julian introduces himself but Mairead refuses to lift her head. Molly squeezes her hand. "Are you okay Mir?" she whispers.

"Can you seriously not smell that? It's freaking me out," Mairead whispers back.

"No. Is the smell strong?" Maeve asks her and Mairead nods.

"Umm excuse me, but do either of you have dragon in you?" Jonathon asks the girls. He can't see Mairead's scales on her temple as she has her head down with some of her hair covering her temple, and her body is slightly turned towards her sister.

Maeve looks up at the 193cm dragon shifters. "I don't, but both my sisters do. How old are you? You obviously know that we are sixteen today," she asks confidently.

Julian smiles at her. "We just turned nineteen last week," he replies.

Erin can sense her daughter's nerves and pulls her aside. "Darling, there is nothing to be scared about. I've told you about the day I found out your Dad and the other guys were my mates. It's going to be okay. Take a deep breath and look them both in the eyes. Do you feel one or both?" Erin asks Mairead.

"Both," Mairead replies quietly looking at her mother.

"I love you Mairead and I will always be there for you."

"I don't have to leave with them do I? If they are my mates that is?" Mairead asks cautiously.

"No darling. You need to finish school first," Erin replies

"And I don't have to sleep with them yet right?" Mairead asks anxiously.

"No darling. Only when you feel ready," Erin reassures her.

Mairead breathes a sigh of relief. They walk back to the others and as soon as Mairead lifts her head and her eyes meet the twins, the mate bond clicks. She smiles. "Hi. Princess Mairead Richards, nice to meet you both," she says and hold her hands out.

The twins smile a toothy grin in return and each take a hand and kiss the back. A green and gold aura surrounds them.

"Both of them? Are you serious?" Adam groans out.

Erin giggles and hugs him from the side.

The day went well and Granny was has happy for the girls but reminded them that Fae rules will always come first. If they weren't ready to be intimate with their mates then their mates would need to respect that. Molly of course chose to go home with Jack for the night. He had stuck to his promise and they lost their virginities to each other. Un-beknowing to Molly's family, her and Jack had been handsy with each other for over a year.

Mairead made her mates wait for almost a year to complete the bond. The twins were fine with that as they had been brought up believing to wait and only have sex with your mate. The dragon twins moved in with Jack so that they could be closer to Mairead until she graduated high school.

Maeve discovered that she was mated to a Fae halfling just three days after her 21st birthday. He had moved from Spain to work for Jack. Jorge was twenty seven and didn't know much about being Fae as he was adopted by humans.
