Chapter 18: Getting Ready for the Baby

With werewolf pregnancy lasted about five months, sometimes four if you were pregnant by an Alpha. The other problem with werewolf pregnancy is because humans are weaker, it makes humans tired and they end up practically on bed rest the second and third months of pregnancy while the baby grows bigger. After three months you get more energy and can do stuff. The other issue is werewolf pregnancies make you super irritable, and snappy.

I'm almost one month in and we had a room all set up for the baby. It had a white crib with a nice teal blue walls and it has a nice rocking chair to the right of it. I came to the room as a surprise from Leo who set it all up. We have a changing table and a matching white dresser. There was the cutest bird mobile that matched the little ones on the walls. I loved it and tried to set blankets up and folding clothes we got from the baby shower. We settled on the two names for are baby. It'll be Grayson Cal Xander if it's a boy and Emma Jane Xander if it's a girl.

I noticed that Leo had been worrying about me it's almost dotting. I've gone to the store to get some things we'll need for the baby. I grabbed a pack of four blankets to use for swaddling, also a pack of ten baby towels for burping. I got a ton of diapers, some bottles, binkies, diaper cream, diaper wipes, a stroller, car seat, a thing to wrap the baby on me, and some toys. I also picked out loads of clothing for the baby. I checked out and once I got back home to the pack house he was worried where I had gone. I explained that I was perfectly capable of going shopping for are kid but I got that he was just concerned; which was cute I admit. Leo helped me unpack the stuff in the bags in the babies room. Then I noticed that he wanted to set up the car seat as I noticed he was wanting to do a lot of things to help get ready for the baby. We got a big teddy bear that we have for the baby. I feel like I have plenty of energy and I don't know what they were talking about. Being that tired and drained. Leo came in after he was done with setting up the car seat

"Do you feel okay?" he said standing up looking at me.

"Yeah, I am fine," I said and he forced me to sit on the rocking chair.

"You didn't eat lunch," he asked realizing based on me working on getting things ready for the baby that I hadn't eaten yet.

"Can we stop worrying about food? I'll end up getting sick from how much you want me to eat. " I said.

" I will not stop worrying about food what if our baby is starving in your stomach because you didn't eat lunch?" he asked, and it was cute how concerned he was about the baby already.

"The amount I have been throwing up, I don't think that the baby is starving," I said. He started making me a sandwich anyways and I ate it and afterwards he brought me to our bed to get me to rest.

" Everything will be okay," he said giving me a genuine smile and I kissed him and said " I know, but I wonder what the baby's gender going to be? Do you think we'll find out soon? " he smiled and said breathing in deeply

" I don't know, but I want you to not worry about that for now. Just try to get some sleep. " I said not just dropping it " Because I think I might know what the baby is going to be. It feels like...it's going to be a boy. " he smirked and asked " How do you know that? " I then said giving him another kiss.

" I just have this feeling that's all. My gut instinct is never wrong before, and besides I think it'd be nice to have a boy that'll be as handsome as his daddy. " He chuckled and then kissed back. I could feel him making me want to melt against him, but then. I felt something didn't sit right. I pushed him away hard and rushed to are bathroom where I threw up for the third time today.

Leo tried to hold my hair back from my face understanding that it was not fun or pretty and definitely not hot. I said quietly after I whipped my mouth " Great, I guess he doesn't like it when you're trying to get closer to me. " I felt myself pout at being interrupted. He got me some water and helped clean up my face. Then I looked down and realized that I could see a small baby bump. I cautiously put my hand on it. I started to think about imagining a actual baby leaving Leo to look at me as I had a look of my mind being somewhere else. He asked snapping me back as he asked with a small smile

" Why don't we go to Emilia for an ultrasound and see are baby. I know by now that you won't be able to sleep without asking me more questions. " I smiled and nodded as he helped me up from the side of the bed. " Yeah! " We were in that same waiting room again waiting for the doctor, but I felt really excited to see are baby again. When the door opened and she walked in

" Doctor Emilia we are here to do a check up on how the baby and Autumn are doing. " she understood and started with a check up and then asked for me to lift my shirt. Once I did she pressed her cold stethoscope to my skin that made me feel a shiver from it. Then she smiled and asked looking a little surprised

" Alpha, Luna Autumn, would you mind if I did a ultrasound? " we agreed but as she was setting the screens up she asked " How often would you say that you're hungry? And is this also coincide with how much you're throwing up? " we both looked at each other and I said a little worried and confused

" Well, I know that I've been trying to eat as much as I can, but soon throwing up follows. Why? Is something out of the ordinary? " she said placing the jel on my bump as Leo was holding my hand tightly.

" No, Luna Autumn. It's common, but that's not what concerns me. It's if something has changed then last time you came for a check up that interests me. " I felt confused as to what she means. Then I noticed that as she started up the machine that we both were concerned as Leo asked

" Is something wrong with the baby? " as the picture started to come on the screen she smiled and said as we saw what surprised us both.

" No, in fact I herd three heart beats. You two are going to have twin's, congratulations. " We saw the two small babies next to each other. I felt relief and joy washed over me as I smiled at the screen. I gripped onto Leo's hand that was holding my right hand and exclaimed

" Leo stay with me, but I think we'll have to get more food. We'll have to deal with a lot if we're going to have two kids. " he looked surprised and with a look I couldn't read nor begin to try. Then he asked her almost like he was holding his breath for something

" Can you tell us the babies genders? " she asked if we'd both like to know and I nodded and she said as she moved around to look at a better angle before she smiled

" It looks like you two are going to have twin boys, congratulations! " I felt a small gasp escaped my mouth as I smiled widely at Leo who looked thrilled and started to say smiling softly

" I guess you were right. I guess I should trust your gut too. I think we have to think of another name for another son. " I kept smiling and I felt my face hurt how much I was smiling. We thanked doctor Emilia and I kept trying to hug Leo tightly as I said

" I'm so excited Leo. " I felt him holding me tightly as he was making sure not too tightly as I felt him kiss my face saying " Me too. Maybe we can talk about names and I have a story I want to tell you later. " He practically tried to carry me back home only to have me make him put me down for me to walk by myself. It was getting dark and dinner was in the process of being made. We had another picture of the ultrasound which I felt obsessed at looking at it. When we went to are bedroom I realized that Leo hadn't said a word since we got back from the doctors. I looked at him and asked him snapping out of the state he was in.

" Leo? " he looked down at me and said with a small reassuring smile " I'm okay, I was just trying to process that we're having two pups. " I smiled and nuzzled against him and said " That's okay, but what story did you want to tell me? " He held my cheek and said grabbing a book and opening it next to me.

" There's a story that describes that werewolves were luck to have a beautiful mate. That the pups are even more lucky to have as many as possible. The Alpha has to have a successor to being the next Alpha. To have a son is a sign of a future of great strength in the packs future. " " But there's a story, of an Alpha being lucky enough to be gifted with two sons. Never had an Alpha had twin sons before. The story goes that the two sons being born at the same time. It means they had to become great men and future Alpha's. But this created a deep sense of rivalry between the two and fueled their goal to defeat the other for the title of being the Alpha as they come of age. Both were great men and made their father and mother full of pride. " " But then they felt the need to fight one another and whoever would win in front of the rest of the pack would be seen as the Alpha. This happens on the next full moon when they become of age. Then the entire pack will be there to watch as under the full moon they shift into their wolf forms. Then they fight for the title as the moonlight illuminated their growling forms in the pitch black night. This event is known as the Moon Flight. " I felt like he was reading me this as if it was a bedtime story. It sounded so interesting and hard to believe that having twin boys almost never happens. I felt happy but understood the story might cause him to have a couple concerns for how we should raise are boys. He seemed to have a serious expression as he looked down at the book with me sitting in his lap.

I looked up at him and lifted my head and kissed his cheek making him snap out of it and look down at me and smiled softly as he closed the book and wrapped his arms slowly around me. He said calmly looking down at me

" It'll be fine. With a mother who's as kind hearted, smart, and strong as you are they'll turn out just fine. I know you changed me for the better so it won't be too hard. " I smiled at him and what he thinks of me and then he took a deep breath in of my scent and asked quietly

" Baby, what is it that made you fall for me? " I hugged him tightly as I said almost effortlessly " Because you're kind, respectful, and you make me happy and feel in love with everything about you. " He smiled sweetly and hugged me tighter against him as he said quietly seeming a little sadly

" You're so perfect I feel sometimes I don't deserve you and I wonder what I've done to deserve you. " " I fail to protect you and this is something I can't ignore or forget as a short coming of mine. " " But you...you get hurt, knocked down, and get scared and still don't hate or blame me when I know I'm to blame. " " You're much stronger than anyone I know and you still manage to smile at me and I don't know how. You've seen a dead body for crying out loud and that persons life taken away from them right in front of you and still.." I felt what he was saying was starting to upset me as I felt him getting upset with what he was saying as I made him stop by saying with my head buried in his chest

" Stop, please..." he looked down at me and I said trying to help him with this guilt he's holding onto " I don't want to hear that you have to protect me. You're my mate too. We can protect each other and we can be able to rely on each other. " " I want us both to be the parents of are kids. I know that there are scary and bad things in the world, but I'm able to feel even if we're not. Just the feeling of being like this..in your arms is all the feeling of safety I need. " I closed my eyes as I focused on the feeling of his heat and his heartbeat I can slightly pick up.

" I know that we're dealing with the rouges and that soon we'll have to rely on another packs Alpha to help with that, but just being with you and the ones I love is enough. " I chuckled slightly as I said smiling up at him " We found out we're going to be parents and are going to have two baby boys! How much more could I ask for to make me happy?!" I froze in surprise as I saw that he was smiling with tears in the corners of his eyes. I felt concerned as I slowly tried to use my left hand to wipe away the tears that tried to trickle down his cheek, but then I felt okay once he hugged me closer to him as he smiled again as he said near my ear

" You're right, and I'll just focus on the positives too. I love you, Autumn. " I moved my left hand to hold the side of his face that was now resting against the side of my head as I leaned into him

" I love you too, Leo. We're just adjusting to so much that it's getting a little overwhelming when looking through everything. But we'll be just fine, hey, maybe we can start talking about what to name are second son. " he chuckled and said softly " Yeah.. " then I felt his right hand move to my neck as it moved some of my hair away. He leaned his face against my skin as I felt him taking in a deep breath before I felt a jolt of pleasure surge through me once I felt him starting to gently kiss my neck right against my mark. I bit down on my lip as he slowly pulled back and moved his right hand from my neck to my left cheek. He smiled softly as he rubbed my face and I swear that my heart skipped a beat at how he was looking at me. He smiled with a little bit of his teeth showing through making me think that I'm pretty shore that he knew it too. I think it might be the hormones that are making my mind start to wonder with my eyes. He loosened his grip on me and said trying to think about names snapping my mind back from my thoughts.

" How about Jace Xander? Maybe we can find a good middle name. " I liked it and nodded and tried to think about what could work. I then asked hearing myself say the whole thing

" How about Sol? Jace Sol Xander. " but the more I tried it out it didn't quite feel right, but it got my mind off the topic easily enough. I then asked looking at him feeling a little stumped " Well what do you think will work? It feels like something starting with an S would help with the flow, what do you think? " I felt him say resting his head on my left shoulder

" No, I think it's a great name. Sol as a boy's name is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Sol is ' prayed for or peace'. I like it, or whatever you would like it to be? Shawn is nice too. " I smiled at him as I nuzzled into him feeling his warmth as I said " Jace Sol Xander it is then. " but then we were interrupted when I could hear my stomach grumble loudly. He smirked at my face which I was blushing out of embarrassment that he was able to hear it. Next thing I knew I felt that he had one of the guards come to bring a plate of food. I felt I understood just how hungry I really was when I energy. I saw the food in front of me and I pulled it closer and started eating.

I ate a pile of mashed potatoes, ham, turkey, green beans, and a couple bread rolls. I finished the plate very quickly and I felt my stomach grumble showing that I was apparently still felt hungry. I looked at Leo embarrassed that he had seen me eat like an animal and that it was not enough.

"Are you still hungry?" he asked trying not to look shocked. He was. I felt my face heat up.

"It's okay, I am sorry. I didn't even ask if you wanted any." I said looking at the empty plate feeling guilty.

"I can eat later, are you still hungry," he said giving me a look not to lie to him; which I never felt the need to lie to anyone. It's a good thing because I'm a terrible ugly liar. I'd be stuck trying to think of something for so long that anyone can figure out that I'm not trying to say what I know.

"A little bit," I said in a small voice, he must have been mind linking his men since another man came in following afterwards with another plate. But this time I shared it with Leo and once dinner was done I felt a little tired and Leo said sternly in his Alpha tone

" You should head to bed now. " a part of me wanted to obey him but the other wanted to rebel against him trying to control what I want to do when I hardly get this time to talk with him.

" No way it's not that late yet! It's not even nine thirty yet! " he gave me a look that made my stomach quiver as his golden eyes locked onto mine. I felt the urge to want to obey him again, but I'm not going to go with everything like some little kid who needs a bedtime.

" I don't want to go to bed yet! I'm not some little kid who has to have a bedtime! " I yelled as I threw my fists up in the air in protest. " And you can't make me! "

I opened my eyes when I felt a hand carested my check as it moved to hold my chin sternly. Leo was leaning close to my face as I felt him hold my right hand as my arms fell back down.

" Is that the way you talk to your Alpha? " I felt him say my Alpha and with how he said that as his small smirk made all rebellious spirit I had crushed in an instant. Where as most people would apologize and bow trying to find forgiveness for saying something like that, I was not. I felt my face heat up as he leaned close and my eyes trailed off to his eyes and then to his lips. I gently kissed his lips as I felt myself say into his ear a little out of breath but still like a shy whisper

" I'm sorry if I've been a bad girl, Alpha..." I felt him tense up as a small growl build up inside his chest at me calling him Alpha like that. He gripped onto my waist and hip as he rested his forehead against mine and said calmly

" Now that you're acting more like a good girl. It's time for me to put you to bed, babe. " " Or do you need me to put you to bed for you? If it's easier. " I felt the food made me yawn tiredly but I felt my body starting to submit to his touch and words as I let him tuck me in under the sheets. I felt comfortable and sleepily as I noticed that he muttered something into my ear as I felt him spooning me.

" Don't worry and get some sleep, my little one. " I felt his couch both made me feel safe and made me want to turn around and just feel more of him. Sleep felt gentle and calming on my mind as I drifted off to sleep.

[ Leo POV ]

Even as I hold her I can feel all my worries wash away. I love her being by my side and as long as she's happy and beside me I don't have anything to fear. Not me dying in a fight and not any war. I can get back up again and I will have are pups and feel content with it all. I'll shelter them with as much of myself as I can give. I took in her scent and I knew that even though I'd be busy I'd have the scent of her linger on me. Just her living with me and showing me all the love her heart has to offer makes me feel complete. I could get high off her scent and I could let myself sink into the warmth of her body. I just hope that...I'll be a better father than my father.

I didn't have the best relationship with my father and I adored my mother. I want things to change for my pups for my boys. I'll make things right where my father had done wrong and I'll do whatever I can. I feel even as I'm holding her that I can feel her bump which I felt hesitant to touch for fear of possibly not trusting myself enough for something not to go wrong. I held onto her waist as I tried to take in everything. Every second I can feel just laying against her. Feeling her chest rise and fall slowly in my arms. I know that soon I'm going to have to try and adjust to the arrival of our kids and the actions that should be taken for the pack. I just hope that Autumn's Dad was right about me being able to handle this. We've been together for almost half a year now and we are already going to have are own pups that can be walking around before we know it. I just, hope that it's not too much for the both of us.

I've had reports of rouges being seen gathering their numbers and few have been reported of attacks but this normally isn't a good sign. I have to start with preparations soon and contact another Alpha to go over everything since it affects all of are packs.

[ Autumn P.O.V ]

It's been a week since seeing my parents and since then my face feels better now and I can't see any bruising which I think was good. I think I'm starting to struggle with being pregnant now. My baby bump is now really noticeable and I can feel the need to visit the bathroom more than five times a day. It's a bit of a pain but I'm able to still walk around with minimal struggle, though the stairs are becoming a bit of a pain.

I do feel hungrier than I usually do though and Liz once she hears about it from me she starts going into a chef mode. She starts preparing food that's way too much for me and sometimes the smell makes me want to eat as much as I possibly can, or triggers me needing the bathroom with getting morning sickness. Morning sickness, ha what a joke. It's all throughout the day and even if I'm really enjoying Liz's cooking I can't enjoy it for long. One time I started to feel sick after eating half my breakfast and Ron said laughing a little

" I guess being pregnant is no joke, huh! " I narrowed my gaze at him and I think I might have glared at him too coldly, because he looked like he was about to turn white. I knew he meant well but my glare didn't last long once I started to feel sleepy. I ignored when Randell asked

" Is everything okay? " he noticed that I sighed after letting the comment slide. I stood up and tried to clean my plate before I walked over to the living room. Since I was tired I didn't want to bother with having to walk all the way to are bedroom. I walked over to the long dark blue sofa and grabbed a pillow before lying down to try and take a nap. I felt myself moving a lot as I slept trying to feel comfortable. I felt something fuzzy and a little warm against my skin. I tried grabbing onto it hoping it makes it easier to sleep and feel a little better. I opened my eyes open tiredly once I started to feel a something leaning in front of me. Then I focused my gaze to see Leo standing on his knees in front of the couch. He was crouched in front of me as I noticed his golden eyes clocked softly with mine as he said softly as he was resting his chest against the cushion.

" Hey, " I smiled and said stretching my arms and legs out " Hi.....grrrrrrr " I herd him let out a low whine which one I relaxed and looked back at him I turned on my right side and smiled at him. Then he asked after clearing his throat trying not to look at me reacting to how cute he sounded just now.

" So, did you sleep well? " I smiled and said moving my left hands fingers moving to his right hand and tried to intertwine them in his. " It was a little hard to get comfortable, but I think I'm feeling a little better now. " He leaned his head closer as I felt his fingers folded into mine clocking are fingers.

" Well that's good, " them I felt him kiss my forehead lightly but I felt myself peck him on the lips which made him pause for a moment as I felt his breath against my face. I felt his hand tighten on mine as he moved his left hand to move my hair behind my ear before I felt him press his lips on mine. I felt it was growing from being tentative to being deep and mellow. I felt myself getting really excited at his touch and him causing my body to feel a burning feeling through out it. I felt him pull back and tried to stand up and helped me sit up and helped holding me as I tried to get up from the couch. This was a little hard since the couch felt like it was sinking me as I tried to hold my footing. Once I balanced I noticed that we both saw Ron and Nick coming in from the kitchen looking like they were done with practice. But once Leo was holding my carefully by my arms and we noticed them looking at us. I looked up at Leo once I realized that he was growling angrily at them as he looked at them. I felt him growl louder once they tried to ask if I was doing alright. Then they both started to walk backwards into the kitchen nervously but before I could figure out what was up he grabbed me in his arms and started to carry me up the stairs. That was went I realized that he didn't like them even looking at me.

That was when I smiled up at him and then I said messing with his hair with my right hands fingers

" Awe, you don't want them to look at me! " He looked down at me and he blushed hard when I started to say in a voice I'd usually use with the babies in the children center.

I started to hold the side of his face with my left hand " Who's a good boy?! You being so protective of me?! " his eyes glazed over black and as we reached are room he grinned and once he set me down quickly and before I knew it he turned into a big black wolf. I think he had felt a lot and couldn't contain himself. I closed the door behind me and felt Leo's nose against the small of my back. I turned around and as I started to move my hands along his face.

" You trying to play around? " but as he lifted his head up as I started to stroke through his fur on his neck he seemed to groan as I started to nuzzle my head into his neck. I started to scratch under his chin and he started to pant with his tongue hanging out.

" Who's a good boy?! " I started to laugh at how he was being so goofy. He started to row over on his back as I started to pet him like a dog. I kept laughing at how he'd try to lick my face with big tongue and tried to sniff his nose into me. He'd whine when I would struggle to be on the floor with him and try to stand up. He would try and help me up with his head and I could hear whimpers from him as I grunted as I tried to stand up from the floor.

When I stood up I said as I noticed this softly " I'm okay, it's just a little harder than it used to be that's all. " I felt him calm down as he followed by my side as we started to head towards the couch. Once I sat down he started to rest his head on my lap before moving off to start to change back. When he fully changed back he stood on his knees as he stood in front of my legs. I started to move restlessly on the couch to get comfortable, our baby boys were kicking me like crazy and it was an amazing feeling but also extremely uncomfortable.

"Are you doing okay?" He asked, noticing I was shifting a lot. I was feeling incredibly uncomfortable as I tried to rustle are trying to find a position that I didn't have to feel one of the babies kicking me. I said once I winced as I held my baby bump. I said smiling weakly at the incredible feeling

" Yeah, I just think are boys are just being a little too early to practice fighting each other. " " I think they're kicks are getting pretty good too, considering I can feel some of them hit me. " he looked concerned but happy at how I was being pretty strong handling having two boys. I figured if I could handle getting shot in the shoulder and hit by all the events before. I thought this would be a piece of cake.

I placed my hand over the spot I felt a hard kick in. Leo watched me with an intense stare as he sat in front of me. He gently took his hands to my stomach and gave me a look asking permission to touch. I silently gave him the go ahead with a small nod and he lifted my shirt up and examined my belly.

He put his hands on my stomach and I jumped slightly from the fireworks his hands gave me and the big kick one of our son sent him. He gave a small smile but frowned when I asked

" Are you going to tell me why you were scrapping at Ron and Nick now? " he looked down with a half lid look as he looked back down at my stomach.

" I..I didn't like the idea of those two looking at you. " I said grasping one of his hands with my right and said " I got that much, but I want to know why? " he lowered his head and rested the right side of it against my stomach.

" I'm..not sure. " he said sounding confused as he continued " Maybe it's that I'm just...acting more possessive now that I'm not really as around as I'd like to be. " " Or maybe...it's that I don't want any guy to look at you...especially since werewolves can smell your hormones. Since that's something that they can do I want to make it clear for anyone to get close to you...." I felt his confusion and said smiling as I started to stroke his hair a bit forgetting the fact he's naked.

" Well that's alright I guess, but try and take a little back a bit. " " Besides, I'll be able to remind you as many times as you want till you don't have to worry about that anymore. " He lifted his head up and looked at me as I slid my left hand to his chest as I closed my eyes and finished

" I'm yours...remember that okay. " I noticed his left hand moved from under my hand and moved to the right of my face against the couch. I felt him look down at me as he rested his forehead on mine now. I opened my eyes and looked through my lashes and I could feel his right hand moving up my left arm. I herd him say almost lowly

" Autumn...You should be careful. " I noticed his arm was sliding down the couch slightly as he continued " Because when you say that..." he was leaning as his knees over as they were on the edge of the couch in between my legs as he stood looking at me intently. His golden eyes seemed to shine as they peered at me his face getting closer

" I'll only want more of you. " his face looked flushed as his right hand slowly moved under my arm and moving slowly to holding my side. I felt him leaning in and I think the fact he was so close made me follow his lips as I felt my eyes tarting from his eyes to them. I felt my heartbeat as I started to follow. Once our lips met i felt everything in my body submit to him. I'm not shore whether his naked body or my hormones was making me starting to get turned on so easily. Once are lips locked I felt my hands moved up his muscular chest and started to hold onto his shoulders digging my fingers into him. I can feel him starting pull away a bit but I think I was feeling him say pulling away only to whisper as he's getting off the couch

" Good but I think that I am going to have to be keeping you on bed rest until the baby is born." He said getting some clothes on from the closet. I was breathing as if I just finished a mile run.

" Leo I am fine the babies are fine there is no reason you have to-" He cut me off.

" You are not going to walk on your own around the house until the baby is born," He said in his Alpha voice making a serious look on his face. I'm getting he's just trying to make sure I don't have to struggle with being able to get tired and struggling with the stairs but not leaving this room is something different entirely. I know that a part of me wanted to flinch at the sudden change in his voice. But I'm not completely helpless and I'm not going be lazy and a live weight and be helpless.

" No way! Be controlling why not its what you're good at! " I yelled throwing my hands in the air in frustration.

"I'm not an Alpha for nothing babydoll," He said giving me a smirk that sent a jolt of pleasure down my spine, I must be really affected by the hormones then seeing as Leo was looking irresistible at the moment. He wasn't even naked and I felt him having an affect on me. I found myself holding a pouty face as I felt my will to argue made me sigh and say quietly admitting defeat

" Alright, I'll try to stay in here if I can help it..." he smiled after looking relieved to hear me not fighting him on it anymore as he said softly kissing me on the forehead as he carested my cheek

" Good girl, " then I felt him move his left hand back on my stomach and said after inhaling deeply " I'll have all of your other duties stopped for now, and if you feel too stressed I want you to let me know," I felt the side of his head move his mouth to my ear and whispered quietly

" I just want you both to stay as stress-free as possible," I held my hands to hold the sides of his neck as I held him and said sounding really quietly " Okay, babe the babies are going to be fine. I'll make sure that I won't worry you. " I felt myself start to kiss his cheek and he said lifting his head to look at me

" But it's my job to worry, and I just want to help you as such as I can through this. " I felt him made me smile up at him and then I felt his right hand moved to wrap around me in a half hug. I smiled as I said starting to wrap my arms around his neck holding myself to him

" Okay, but I'm worrying about you. You having to take my Luna responsibilities while having to worry about me. " he seemed slightly surprised by this but then he said calmly " Like everything worth doing it'll be an adjustment. I'll be okay, " I feel a little better but soon we'll find we'll find a way through this.

I felt myself start to feel him start to move his arms quickly. Next thing I knew I felt him lifting me up in his arms bridal style. I felt a little startled but quickly relaxed once I felt myself against his chest. He said calmly looking down at me

" Now you're going to get started with your rest. " he walked us over to the bed and placed my legs down before gently resting my head down on one of the pillows. I felt myself catch one of his hands with mine before moving them. I didn't look up at him. I just wanted his hand, his touch, just a little longer. I held it gently as I tried to hold it to my face as I kept my eyes closed. He was going to say something...until he pulled his hand away out of my reach. There was a mock at the door and once I looked at Leo.

" Come in. " he said only to look and seem tense at seeing what looked like one of the guards. He said standing beside the door " I'm sorry for the intrusion, Alpha. But the Alpha's from the Golden Moon or Green Mountain packs have responded to the request we have sent. "

I understood that this was very important, and next thing I know he starts to leave the room and looked really focused. I got that but I knew there's only so much I could feel as the door was closed by the guard. Like how quiet the room became.

I think things will only get harder from here but then I felt hard kick to my stomach. I winced at how I felt it as I held that spot I understood it was like the babies were trying to remind me. That even when I'm alone in a big room, I'm not alone anymore and that I'll always have two boys with me. It made me smile rubbing my bump as I said whispering under my breath

" Thanks, "
