Needless to say, they skipped the practice after she told Lydia and Allison that she couldn't stick around and that something urgent came up. Lydia picking up on something excused herself to the bathroom and spotted the two leaving together.

At the Hospital, Nevan couldn't track down a female doctor, so he found the highest-rated nurse and compelled her to take the job. Officially giving her a raise and making her the hospital's newest female doctor. No male was going to intimately touch his mate with him around.

Rebekah wasn't pleased because she wanted the best, but figured it was fine since the nurse had enough qualifications and was in fact female, and not some male who more than likely just picked the opposite gender's medical practice with the idea that they would get to see and play with many different women.

Nevan walked into the room with a grin,- "Rebekah, I'd like you to meet Melissa McCall, our new doctor for the evening."

Rebekah shook her hand,- "Hi, Dr. McCall, it's good to meet you," she said emphasizing the word doctor, glancing at Nevan.

"It's nice to meet you too, please call me Melissa, calling me Doctor feels kind of strange for some reason," Melissa mummbled as she got lost in her thoughts,- "Anyways, I believe you're here for a check-up on your pregnancy, please take a seat," she said gesturing to the medical bed.

"That's correct, I've been pregnant for a while now and still have no baby bump, feeling anxious I decided to come in and make sure everything was okay," replied Rebekah.

"All pregnancies are different, not having a bump yet doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong, but I can understand your concern. I'll go ahead and send for the proper equipment and we'll take a quick look to make sure everything is okay, how's that sound? Just sent back and relax and I'll be right back," said Melissa.

"Sounds good, thank you, Doctor McCall," said Rebekah.

"Please, call me Melissa, I insist, no need to be so formal," Melissa smiled, not sure why it bothered her so much to be called a doctor, though it also felt strangely satisfying as well.

"McCall, are you by any chance related to Scott McCall?" Asked Nevan on her way out, thinking he might as well ask.

"He's my son, do you know him?" Asked Melissa.

"We've met," said Nevan.

"Is that right? You'll have to tell me about it later, now if you'll excuse me, I'll be right back," Said Melissa unsure what to make of them.

Minutes later they were looking at the ultrasound as Melissa moved the device over her belly.

"Oh, Oh my," muttered Melissa.

This when on for a few more minutes before Rebekah burst,- "What is it! What's happening! What did you find?"

Melissa shook her head,- "Ah, sorry about that, first off there's nothing wrong, it's just..."

"It's just!? What?" Asked Rebekah gripping the left side of the bed while holding Nevan's hand with her right.

A concerned Melissa went on, "I'm not sure how else to say this, I don't even know how it's possible, but..."

"Say It!" Yelled Rebekah losing what little cool she had left, tearing out the left side of the bed, making Melissa jump in shock.

"Melissa, please continue," said Nevan sternly while keeping hold of his wife's right hand's growing grip.

Snapping out of it, Melissa looks away from the bed,- "Right, as I was saying, everything is fine, all four children look as healthy as can be, I just don't know how they all fit, it's like your womb is bigger on the inside or something. I would like to run more tests if you don't mind just to double-check if you don't mind."

"Wait... Did you say four?" Asked a stunned Rebekah, hearing nothing else after.

"Yes that's correct, and I would like to..." Says Melissa, going on to repeat everything else.

Rebekah still hung up on the number four, once again missed the rest as Nevan took over,- "Thank you Doctor, now if you could please give us a moment before we do anything else."

Melissa finally noticing the state she was in felt rather embarrassed for prattling on,- "Ah yes, sorry about that, it's a lot to take in, why don't I give you two a moment, I'll be back later."

"Honey, are you okay?" Asked Nevan, softly stroking her head with his free hand.

Rebekah in a bit of a shock finally speaks,- "Four... We're having four Nevan, I know I always wanted this, but four at the same time..."

"Wolves usually average four to six pups," Getting a cold glare in response, Nevan evades it and continues,-"Isn't this great though? This means our family will be bigger and better," he says enthusiastically.

Talk of a bigger family quickly brings her out of her funk as memories of a beautiful dream of always and forever playing through her head,- "Yeah, that does sound nice," she said sweetly. Promising to make the best damn family there ever was and will ever be, now and forevermore.

They declined further tests, happy just knowing that the kids are safe and healthy regardless of the oddities associated with it. She considered it a wonderful perk that she didn't have to get fat to have them, though for some reason Nevan wasn't entirely thrilled with this little tidbit of information, much to her confusion.
