(Book 3) – Chapter 9
The doctor got there just a bit after we calmed down and quit hugging my dad to death. The guys were excited, but they had to keep calm to keep looking cool. I told them when we find out the twins s*x I already knew they would be crying crocodile tears. All the girls agreed and laughed at how big their eyes got.
I linked Sandra about coming down to do this with us but she wasn’t feeling the best. She still had about two months left and her pregnancy wasn’t going the best. She mentioned it was because she was older and had a miscarriage a few times before. I wished I could do something for her but I was still working up an idea.
We all walked into the living room dragging chairs with us so we could all have a seat. The doctor hooked the machine up to the tv so we were all in her way. I had Mel go first since she had gotten pregnant first and she was the less patient of the two of us. That is
saying a lot and it is a scary thought.
“This may feel a bit cold. I tried to keep it warm on the way over, but it seems like the temperature decided to drop within the last few hours.” The doctor told Mel who just nodded.
“Can you make sure everything is ok with the baby before we know the s*x?” Alistair looked nervous. He turned to us to explain why he asked her to do that. “My parents had a deformed baby that only lived for an hour and I am a bit nervous it might be genetic.”
“I can do that. I have had regular checkups with you guys and this baby is the picture of health. I am still nervous about how big it is and Mel here being a witch.” The doctor looked back at the ultrasound machine and moved the wand around on Mel’s tummy.
“It will be ok. My mom and Ryder’s mom have been looking up spells to either make my v****a indestructible or some damn good pain meds that allow me to stay away and push this baby out,” Mel explained with a smile. The doctor still wasn’t too sure by the flat l*p smile she was giving.
“Ok, here are the baby’s legs. They have them pulled into the baby’s chest.” She pointed with the mouse and explained each body part. Their baby was sucking their thumb and it was the cutest thing ever.
“Ryder?” Dolly looked at the screen confused. “Where is all the fur?” She pointed around the baby like it was crazy that they were naked.
Mom giggled at her and patted her lap for her to sit with her. “The baby doesn’t have fur until they do their first shift after getting their wolf. You usually get your wolf around 14 depending on your power level.”
“Oh,” Dolly whispered looking embarrassed.
“Dolly, I am glad you asked that question.” She looked over at me like I was crazy for saying that. “I wondered the same thing. I thought I was going to have to give birth as my wolf and I was not excited for having a litter of puppies. If that were to happen I would have to kill my mates.” Blue agreed with that.
“Thank you.” Was all Dolly said as she focused back on Mel and Alistair.
“Everything is great. Are you ready to find out what you are having?” The doctor looked at them. They both nodded hard enough I thought a brain cell might have shook loose. “You are having a…girl. A perfect little girl.”
“Hell yea. Girl power baby!” I yelled, causing Mel to come back down to reality.
Mel started to cry as Alistair lost all his color. “A girl…A… girl?” He stammered, staring at Melissa’s stomach. “A hybrid wolf witch little girl who is going to eventually be a teenager and wants to date?”
“Yes and you won’t be stopping that from happening mister.” Mel warned him. She knew was he was thinking, and I knew my guys were agreeing with him while freaking out that we may be having a girl.
“Why you guys discuss what Alistair needs to know about girls, let’s get Ryder over here? I know her dad is chomping at the bit.” The doctor teased him. They had become close since dad and mom had started doing double dates with her and her mate.
Melissa got off the table and waddled to sit down next to my mom. She started to tell her stories about the things my dad tried to do to keep me in the house wearing nun clothes by the age of ten.
I hopped on and pulled my shirt up. “Do you want me to check how the babies are doing?” She asked as my mates surrounded us.
“Hell no. I have a room to decorate, clothes to buy, and things to freak out over.” I told her.
She put the gel on and moved the wand around. It seemed the twins decided to get super close and hid their private parts from us. They guys kept mentioning we were already screwed with them by being as stubborn as I was. I just gave them a stink eye, they knew what that meant. She had to shake my tummy a little until they moved just enough to show us the goods.
“It seems that you will be having…” She looked closer before giving an answer. “A boy and a girl. One of each.”
“Best day ever. The girls will be besties and maybe your son will be my girl’s mate!” Mel yelled freaking out her mate even more.
My mates took a second to wrap their heads around it but I just did a happy dance with tears flooding my face. “Hell yes. I get the best of both worlds with barbies, make-up, army men, video games, and all the love I can take. Can we just have them now?”
“NO!” My mates yelled frantically as everyone laughed. “We have so much to do. Maybe we shouldn’t be leaving?” Edgar suggested looking at everyone.
“They will come when they are ready. Let’s just get you sat up and I will head out so you all can talk.” I nodded at the doc and let her sit me up.
I had each guy k**s me before I gave all my family a hug. “The guys are not giving up figuring all this out and helping out a clan in need. I still have two or three weeks left and you will be back by then. Plus this gives me a chance to online shop to my hearts content, right?” I smiled while they g*****d.
“There will be a limit because babies don’t need that much clothing. We do need to stock up on the basics and get you a pump.” My mom hugged me again. “I am going to have a grandson and granddaughter to spoil along with my daughters. I can’t believe it.”
Dad looked at my sisters with a serious face. “I think it time we fix up the back yard of this new house and move all our stuff here. It is time we made this house permanent.”
They started screaming and talked over each other for the plans they had. I had forgotten that they didn’t move all their stuff here when they moved here on pack lands for their safety. They had planned to go back but I am glad they wouldn’t be. I would need all the help I could get with a war and two babies plus mates who sometimes acted out.
Knox and Kane walked up behind me and kissed both of my cheeks. “Let’s go home and celebrate with ice cream and start shopping.” Knox knew the way to my heart.
“Name them?” Dixie asked sneaking up on me before I could start my long good-byes. “Baby names?” She looked so tired but I knew she wouldn’t go bed without getting an answer.
“Oh, I don’t know yet sweetie. Do you have a suggestion?” I picked her up and held her on my h*p. I could feel our sister soul bond growing stronger the more we were together and it was a huge piece of my heart.
“Peter and Wendy.” She smiled like she knew I was going to use those. Mom must have read her Peter pan.
“Let me think on it and when I have a few I will talk to you and your sisters. Deal?” She nodded and I noticed that Tracy and Dolly did as well. “I have to head home now so give me a huge hug and get ready for bed.”
