Surprise

Walking to the back door, obviously having been beaten and tortured, and noticeable pregnant. Balthazar helps me stay on my feet with an arm around my week body guiding me to the right place, when I open the door I’m shocked by the yelling coming from the other end of the house. I know right off the bat who’s voice I’m hearing, it’s Dra. “ARE YOU f*****g KIDDING ME, YOU CANT GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL. SHES BEEN GONE FOR A MONTH SHE MAY NEVER COME BACK, BUT HERE YOU ARE CURLED UP ON HER BED LIKE A BABY JUST WAITING! YOU HAVE A PACK TO TAKE CARE OF YOU CANT JUST STOP LIVING LIFE BECAUSE SHES NOT NEXT TO YOU.” He’s so mad he must be trying to get through to Ash, I’ve never heard him like this. We walk farther into the house finding nobody in sight. We head for my room and stop outside of the door. Ash hasn’t said anything, I want so badly to just burst in but I need to be careful not to startle everyone and not to let them jump on me with hugs, I can’t take that right now. “Get up, you have to get up or I’ll have to make you get up.” He’s so angry, but I can’t let him do anything to anyone.

“Will you help keep them off of me?” I ask glancing at Balthazar, he nods his head and I reach for the door. I won’t tell them what he did just that he helped save me. Turning the knob of the door and pushing it open he steps in front of me. I look around and see that my whole pack Chance and Ash are all in my room, Ash laying in my bed not moving aside from his breathing. All eyes are on Balthazar no one even sees me yet. “There’s someone here for all of you, but you all need to understand something. You don’t jump, you don’t pick up, and you don’t squeeze or run towards her.” He nods his head and steps aside helping me walk into my room. They all start to come to me obviously not caring about what he had just told them when I let out a warning growl for them to back off. Everyone is shocked, scaning me for a reason I would act like this. A collective gasp leaves everyone as there eyes land on my stomach.

“Surprise!” Is all I can say with everyone looking at me jaws on the floor un-able to speak. “Well this is not the reaction I was thinking I would be getting.”

“You... when... before... what... mine?” Ash can’t make a coherent statement about it, it’s cute how he stammering when he’s lost.

“Yes I’m pregnant, no I don’t know how far along, yes I was already pregnant when they took me, I don’t understand what you mean by what, and yes it’s your baby. I havnt been getting tortured because I’m having a baby with the person they want me to, so you can relax.” I limp over to him and start petting his hair in reassuring geusture.

SIX MONTHS LATER

Everything had gone back to normal, every once in a while an attack would happen, which I was not aloud to join in on. Eventually I was forced to go to a doctor and found out that I was showing so much because there was more than one baby in my belly. Ash was so happy to hear it, but by the time we got home he was taking off again to get everything baby related. We didn’t ask for genders I didn’t want to know it would just make my life harder to know seeing that I already had a whole pack running around me telling me what I should name them and giving me a bunch of outfits for girls and boys. Dra was still a little off blaming himself for what happened to me, but after a very long conversation he started to lighten up and have fun with everyone.

We got married a few hours before my water broke and now we’re in a hospital room on the pack grounds, me angry and yelling profanities at anyone brave brought to y’all to me. And him panicking pacing back and forth before he passes out on the floor. “Well that’s f*****g great, passing out at a time like this, I’m going to kill him when he wakes up!” I’m not even mad at him I think the yelling just helps with the pain. He stirs a little on the floor, before Nila helps him get up and stand by my head away from the sight between my legs. I’m told to push one more time before one of the babies is finally out of me and it’s time to work on getting the other one. “Do not tell me a damn thing until there both out!” I’m yelling at the doctor as I push again.

A few hours later we have two babies one boy and one girl, they couldn’t be more beautiful than this holding them, so tiny and calm sleeping in my arms while I relax. Ash comes over to us and looks down at our children before he mutters a word that I almost don’t catch. “Perfect” and he’s right they are perfect, our daughter with crystal blue eyes that almost glow, and almost a full head of platinum blonde hair. And our little boy with his bright green eyes, and dark brown curls, they are just everything that anyone could ever want. “We should name them, don’t you think?” I just nod, “I think our son should be named Jonathan Dra Williams, and our daughter Starlight Rose Williams.” I don’t even question it I just smile knowing that there names mean more than anything to me, and kiss my husband.
