His Mute Mate

Chapter Two

Ambers POV

The first month of my pregnancy went really well I thought.  I ate how I was supposed to and drank lots of water.  Considering I was still breast feeding little Nevaeh I would be having a hell of a time trying to feed her and my little one, but it would be doable.  

The second month of my pregnancy things got a little more hectic.  When I went for my two month appointment I was told they miscounted and I was actually having three babies.  I almost fainted as that’s a lot to do on my own.  Last time I had triplets I at least had some help, but now I would be on my own.  

“Amber you won’t be on your own, I’ll be there to help you anyway I can and I’ll get you a nanny or two to help you as well” Willow said to me.  I felt so relieved at that.  After my appointment we went shopping for more baby clothes as I didn’t have near enough for how many babies I was actually having.  Like my goodness I was almost doubling the amount of children I currently have.  We went to a lot of clothing stores and almost filled my entire cart up with clothes.  We then went to the furniture store as I didn’t have enough cribs for my babies.  Once we ordered them we went to my home and Willow helped me unpack everything and put stuff away.  She stayed for two more hours just hanging out with me before she had to leave to attend to her duties.  I then just laid on the couch trying to come to terms with the fact I was having triplets.  I mean I really shouldn’t be that surprised considering that Teival injected me with something to guarantee my pregnancy so of course multiples would be more likely.  I’m just glad I can actually enjoy this pregnancy.  My last one was just a blur and I didn’t even get much time with my little Nevaeh all because my ex was a cruel bastard.

The third month of my pregnancy I was excited as I would find out the s*x of my triplets.  The doctor did their exam and said I would be having one boy and two girls.  I was so excited about this.  I mean I wouldn’t have cared if they were all the same s*x but it still was exciting for me and Willow was excited to.  After my appointment we went to my home and we began looking at baby names.  After a couple hours of going over names I finally settled on three.  One for each child of course.  

Willow continued coming over a few times a week to see how I was doing and to give me any help I needed.  I thanked her as it was getting harder to clean and cook and really do anything as I felt as big as a whale.  Willow of course told me I wasn’t and always tried her best to make me feel better about everything going on.  I continued going to see my therapist and she was such a huge help during this time for me.

In the last month of my pregnancy I just felt awful.  I could barely get up to go to the bathroom, let alone care for my children.  Willow had two nannies come over to help me during my last month of my pregnancy which I was so very grateful for.  Apparently Willow also did this for wolves who were having a hard time as well.  It was nice to know I wasn’t getting special treatment just because I was her sister.  My last doctor's appointment I was placed on bedrest because of the strain this pregnancy was placing on my body.  I was told it’s possible that if I’m not careful this will be the last pregnancy I’ll be able to have.  A part of me didn’t care and never wanted to become pregnant again, but another part of me wanted more children.  I decided to take it easy and rest as I also didn’t want to bring any harm to my babies either.  Ivory had been a bit quiet but also let me know she was still there and just protecting our babies to make sure they were alright.

One morning I woke up and felt a cramping sensation.  I wasn’t sure if it was labor pains or if it was my body just in pain because of the pregnancy.  I decided to mindlink Willow just to be on the safe side.  She told me to stay in bed and that she’d be over in twenty minutes.  I laid there as there wasn’t really anything else I could do.  I felt like a beached whale and couldn’t really get up.  It didn’t help that I really needed to pee as well.  Luckily one of the nannies was here so I grabbed the bell and rang it since I couldn’t speak yet.  She came in and helped me up so I could finally relieve my bladder that the triplets like using as a trampoline.  I swear if this is any indication of how they’ll  be when I give birth to them I am in for one hell of a time.

After using the bathroom I went and sat in my bed.  That cramping sensation came back again and this time it felt a little bit more like labor pain.  I mindlinked Willow to tell her I think I’m in labor.  She told me she sent a car to come get me and it’ll be there in five minutes.  I didn’t bother getting dressed as I would be put in a hospital gown anyway.  However I did go and grab my togo bag Willow had helped me put together last week as we knew I was getting close.

The car outside honked so I went and made my way inside the car.  The drive to the hospital took about ten minutes.  I was already feeling rather miserable by the time I arrived at the hospital.  A nurse came out with a wheelchair and wheeled me inside.  Willow came and joined me as I was taken to the labor and delivery ward of the hospital.  

I was put in a hospital gown and hooked up to a bunch of machines.  After I was settled in, the doctor came and checked me.  

“Well you’re about two centimeters dilated so it’ll be a little bit before you’re ready to give birth” the doctor said.  I nodded and got ready for a long labor.  Willow stayed by my side the entire time.  Her mate Ansel gave her leave to do so.

The pain just got worse and worse, which was to be expected since I've been pregnant twice before.  However the pain got to a point where it was worse than the other two.  Willow got worried and had the doctor look me over.  They said I was alright and it could be because I wasn’t mated anymore since the mate bond would help ease the pain during labor.  I nodded and was cursing Teival for doing this to me.

I tried to sleep as I was exhausted and I needed energy to give birth to these pups, however it was almost impossible to sleep as the pain was excruciating.  I couldn’t have an epidural as I would have an adverse reaction due to the silver and wolfsbane I had been forced to be in contact with thanks to Teival.

Finally it was time to push.  Willow sat right next to me and held my hand.  As I pushed she gave me words of love and encouragement.  It was a long and lengthy delivery just to push one out.  Then the other two came out shortly after thankfully.  I was told I had indeed given birth to one boy and two girls.  I held each of them and felt relief to know I wouldn’t lose them ever.  No one would come and take them away from me.  I named my little boy Amir, and the girls Hazel and Naomi.  Willow put them in their bassinets the hospital provided so I could get some rest.  I was so exhausted I passed out almost immediately.
