"So did you?" Lexi of course asks again as soon as they are in their room alone.
"One time, okay, it was just - I wasn't planning on two of my alts having married two of his and four more dating them, okay?"
"You didn't tell me!"
"No, I didn't, it was just going to be a one-off, and for the love of sunshine and rainbows don't spread it around any farther, okay?"
"I won't, but the Joker totally knows."
"Ugh."
"Well, not for sure, but he suspects, and not just because most of you are doing most of him."
"I think your grammar implies a little too much."
"Whatever, you know what I mean," laughs Lexi. "So what're you going to do?"
"I," says Bella with dignity, "am going to think."
And she teleports to a spot in midair, high up to the point of being a speck in the sky above Forks to any grounded observers, and she murmurs "flight" as she begins to fall, and she stands in place in the air.

This is how Charlie reacts to that:
"Bella, why are there three of you?"
Bella turns around, frowning in puzzlement.

Shell Bell and Sarion disappear. The door into Milliways swings shut behind them.

"So," says Aurora to Charlie, "there are a bunch of me in a bunch of different universes, apparently those ones worked out how to get to this one, I want to go talk to them - Lexi, do you want to come or get caught up later? - and Dad, Brilliance had a really, really lousy - I'm not sure if childhood's the right word, but a lousy first while, and he'll be really upset if you threaten him vaguely about keeping me happy or anything, so, like, you can say what you have to say but please let me pass it on instead of saying it to his face?"

"I'll come," shrugs Lexi.
"...I can do that," Charlie says slowly. "If you're going to be dating him you make sure you keep that door open if he's up in your room with you."
