Chapter Epilogue
Alexa's POV
It's been five months since our meeting with the council and our wedding and being sworn in officially as Queen and King of the werewolves. It was the most magical day but mostly because I got to marry the man of my dreams. He is everything I never knew I wanted. He is kind and gentle and loves me even when I find it hard to love myself.
Callen has gotten so big, he just turned one and is about to be a big brother. Apparently, our night of fun for our bachelorette and bachelor party ended up with me pregnant again. I swore the first time that I wouldn't have anymore but jokes on me because this time were having two. I thought I was a house last time it's nothing compared to how big I am this time. I really am a house.
I managed to waddle out of our room and head for Colt's office. Since becoming King he has tried helping everyone that needed it. We have taken over running the Elite University as well. They have come in handy because they have worked mor into a royal guard and work for us. We are able to send teams to different packs to help. Finances are something that some packs have struggled with. We have been trying to help them figure out how they can generate more income. It's worked for some and for others it has been hard.
I finally made it to his office and walked in and went straight to the couch and laid back down.
“How are you feeling this morning?”
“Like a house whose ready to pop at any time."
“You are not a house. You are beautiful and doing an amazing job carrying those babies.”
“Ya well they need to come out soon or I am afraid I might really explode”
He just chuckled at me and came over to the couch and grabbed my feet and putting them on his lap and pulled my shoes off and rubbed my feet. It didn't take long and I was sound asleep.
I woke up when someone came running into his office. It scared me and I jumped up looking around.
“Alpha sir, I am sorry but I need to leave, Sloane is in labor” Liam said out of breath.
I forgot to mention that she was also pregnant and due at the same time as me. The lucky bitch having her baby now.
“Go and I make sure it's covered. Let us know how things go”
“Tell her I love her and I will come to see you guys after she has had the baby”
He just smiled at me and took off running again. I closed my eyes but couldn't go back to sleep.
“Colt, I'm kind of hungry. Will you go with me to the dining hall?”
“Of course Princess, what would you like?"
“Some ice cream.”
He just laughed because I am pretty sure these babies have been cooked on ice cream and tacos. That is what I have craved this entire pregnancy. We made it to the dining hall and I sat down, while Colt went to the kitchen and came back out pretty soon with a large bowl of ice cream. He must have wanted some too because I can't eat that much.
I had about ten bites of the ice cream before I was full and Colt finished the ice cream for me. I knew he wanted some. I stood up to go use the bathroom but when I stood my water broke gushing on the ground and the bench where I was sitting “Princess, did you need to pee?” Colt asked me with a questioning look.
“No jerk, my water broke."
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I am sure.”
I stood there kind of frozen. I wasn't having any contractions but knew that they could start anytime and with twins they wanted me to come in right away.
“Come on princess let's go meet our babies; Colt said grabbing my hand.
We made it to the pack hospital and got settled into a room when the doctor walked in.
“I was wondering when those babies were going to make their appearance,” She said.
“It's about time. I am over being pregnant and I swear we are having no more."
“I think I heard that last time you were here’ she said laughing.
“Well, you better fix me so it doesn't happen again."
When I said this Colt just growled at me. He would have a whole pack of his own kids if I would let him but three was enough “We can do that but first let's check these babies, I want to make sure they are in the correct position. As we have talked about it is normal for them to move since they run out of room and sometimes one of them lays sideways."
she walked out of the room and quickly came back with an ultrasound machine. She placed the jelly on my belly and then the wand moving it around look at each baby.
“OK, here is baby A and they are not where they should be. They are sideways and here is baby B who has their feet pointing down. I am sorry Queen but we have to do a c-section.”
just groaned because I knew this was a possibility but I still didn't want it.
“OK, let's just get them out of me please.”
“Some people will come in and start getting you prepped. It will take about an hour and we will start”
She walked out of the room and Colt wrapped his arms around me. He knew how much I didn't want this but I didn't have a choice anymore.
An hour later and we were ready to go. I was numb and Colt was dressed in blue scrubs. The doctor came back in and wheeled us to the OR. They got me on the table and everything ready to go.
“OK Queen, you shouldn't feel any pain but you will feel pressure and pulling but that is it"
“OK” That is all said. I held my breath waiting for her to start. I could feel my heart beating a million miles a minute. “Baby take some deep breaths. Everything is going to be ok. Just think we get to meet these babies in just a few minutes.”
I did as he said and closed my eyes and took some deep breaths and tried to relax as much as I could. I could feel them working but it didn't hurt like she said.
“OK here comes the first baby,” Announced the doctor and Colt stood up to look, and as soon as he did he hit the floor. “Don't tell me what it is until he is awake” everyone just laughed and a nurse rushed to Colter to help him.
“Here is baby number two," said the doctor, and the nurse whisked it away to go be with their sibling and make sure everything was ok with them.
Colt finally woke up and looked up at me.
“I am so sorry, I can't believe that happened again,” he said as he got up and came to me.
“Well were parents again twice over this time," I told him smiling.
“What are they?" He asked.
“I don't know I made them wait until you were conscious”
“He walked over to where they had them cleaning them up and took a quick peak and basically ran over to me and smashed his lips to mine.
“My queen, you have given me two beautiful little princesses, and they look just like you. They are beautiful and perfect” He said.
“We got two girls?” I asked a little dumbfounded. I really figured we would have more boys.
Two nurses walked over and placed both babies on my chest while the doctor finished putting me back together. She finally finished and they wheeled me up to our room.
“sloane, how are you? Sorry I haven't checked on you sooner” I mind-linked her.
“I am good but you need to come meet your nephew,” she linked back.
“I can't just yet, I am so sorry"
“Why is everything ok?"
“Well you will have to actually come meet your two nieces, I had to have a c-section and am stuck in bed for a few hours while the meds wear off”
“OMG” she screamed back through the link.
“Baby, we need names for these girls,” Colt said pulling me out of my thoughts.
“What about Lennox Storm, Everly Jade?” I asked him.
“You want to name them after your wolves?”
“Yes, besides Sloane and you, they are the only ones who have always been here for me and there is no other version of Sloane that I can use and she hates her middle name and we named Callen after your dad."
“Baby, stop I love them. Lennox and Everly, they are perfect names for our perfect girls”
“Have you let my dad know?”
“Yes, he should be here anytime actually.”
Colt took a baby from me and we both sat there holding one and pretty soon we switched and he was right they did look jus like me. It was like copy paste and paste again.
“Let me see those baby girls,” Sloane said as Liam wheeled her in, in a wheelchair.
“Oh my goddess, I can't believe you have two daughters now. What are their names?”
“Lennox Storm and Everly Jade, and how about my nephew?”
“Asher Liam."
My dad and Melissa walked in right at that moment with Callen who squealed when he saw his dad. He really was turning into a daddy's boy. He wanted to spend all his time with his dad and Colter thought it was the best thing ever.
We introduced the girls to everyone and they took turns holding all three babies. Mac and Aubree showed up as well. I was a little surprised that they hadn't actually had another one.
