The four mates returned to their home, Anna had drifted off to sleep snuggled into Victor. As Vincent parked the car, he looked in the mirror again. He had been having a hard time concentrating on the road, his eyes kept getting drawn to Anna. He kept feeling a stabbing pain in his chest. He got out of the car and opened the door behind him for Victor. Victor got out carrying Anna and he shut the door behind them. Rosie exited the car and went ahead to open the door to the house.
Vincent looked at them, "I need to go for a run, I won't be gone long."
"Ok," Rosie said with a smile. She followed Victor into the house. "She hasn't slept this much since she got back," Rosie commented. She was watching Victor's every move.
"I'm glad, she's been through a lot," Victor said as he laid her on their bed. He looked at Rosie, "Can you stay with her while I take a quick shower?"
"Yeah, of course," Rosie answered quickly.
Victor stopped as he got halfway through the bathroom door, "Don't do anything to her, if you hurt her again, well, I would hate to be responsible for your death."
A shiver went through Rosie's body, "I-I won't. I promise." she mumbled out.
Victor closed the door upon hearing her response.
Rosie heard the shower running and looked at Anna. She ran her fingers over her sister's delicate face, very slowly. "I'm so sorry if I could change what I did, I would. I swear, I didn't know he would take you." She sat down next to Anna taking her hand into hers. "I wish I could get him back but now that you're having his pups, he won't ever look at me again." Rosie sobbed out. "He was mine, but I had to go after your mate and trust that man. I didn't know I could lose my mate in the process, I didn't know. I believed we would all be mates in the end. We-We always thought that the four of us were mates, I didn't know, I didn't know."
Meanwhile, Victor was in the shower. He had been trying to control his emotions for so long. He finally allowed himself to release some of his pain. Tears mixed with the hot water coming from the showerhead, he kept trying to control his breathing. Rosie betrayed him, Vincent broke Anna, and now the woman he loved was carrying her kidnapper's pups. He got himself under control, took a deep breath, and got out of the shower. He grabbed a towel, dried himself off, and wrapped it around his waist. He looked in the mirror and grabbed the eye drops. Staring at himself in the mirror, "Man up, you are going to be a father soon." he said staring at himself. "A dad," he said smiling. "Anna is going to give you two pups." he returned to the room with a smile on his face.
Rosie wiped the tears from her face hearing Victor returning. "She didn't wake up," she said looking up at him. "I'm really happy for you two."
"Thanks," Victor said still smiling. "You will have your own pup soon enough. Who knew this is how we would end up."
"Yeah, who knew," Rosie said leaving the room, she took one last look back before she closed the door.
Victor stared at his beautiful sleeping mate, how could these two she-wolves be so different and look exactly the same. He leaned over and kissed her cheek and went to find some shorts. He heard a knock on the door and looked over to find Vincent, opening the door.
"How are you doing?" Vincent asked wearing a pair of shorts.
"I'm good, how was the run?" he said lifting an eyebrow at his brother.
Vincent was staring at Anna, "Is she really ok?"
"She's excited about the pups, so am I," Victor answered.
"What if he comes back?" Vincent asked.
"You and I will kill him," Victor answered. "How about we go baby shopping with the girls tomorrow?"
Vincent smiled, "Yeah, let's do that." He said heading for the door.
"Take a shower, you stink," Victor said laughing.
"I smell manly." he retorted with his signature grin.
Vincent went to his room, took a deep breath, and went inside. "I know, Victor told me I stink. I will go take a shower," he said grabbing shorts and heading to the bathroom.
Rosie laughed, "I don't care."
"Be right back. Oh, Victor and I are taking you girls baby shopping tomorrow." Vincent said smiling at her.
"Really?" she asked surprised. "You want to go?"
"Of course, my pup and my nieces or nephews. Wouldn't miss it."
