Mate ...s ?!?!

Six months later

[Orion’s POV]

This pregnancy has destroyed my body and I feel like total crap about it. I am as big as a fucking house!!! My stomach has grown to the size of two large watermelons and I swear I’m going to fucking SCREAM. In the beginning I was in love with idea of having a pup of my own, a little one to teach the right way. To love and cherish the way I never was growing up. But right now, I hated the way it was making me look.

I look disgusting but Jax and Jace keep trying to tell me that I still look beautiful to them. I didn’t think so and it’s pissing me off. I practically stay in the room now because I can barely move around. This massive stomach makes it hard for me to do much of any moving at all. I can’t do my job as Lunos because I can hardly stay awake most of the day.

The worst part about all of this is that I am horny as FUCK and my Mates won’t TOUCH me sexually!!! That makes me even more pissed off. These pregnancy hormones have me breathing hot and cold all day long and I’m getting scared of being left again. Its like everyone has made a point to avoid coming to see me now. I am frustrated and angry that I barely see my Mates because I’m always so damn tired. I wanted to be with them more. I wanted them to see me regardless of what mood I was in, they were the ones to fucking do this to me they should be the ones to stay right here with me through it all.

What if all of this ends up making Jax and Jace leave me? What if I do something so damn dumb, they have enough of my tirades and just leave? I don’t really try to be like this but all of this stuff is getting to be too much for me. I needed them and I haven’t seen them in almost two weeks.

I felt a presence on the other side of the door before, Hayle knocked on the door, before silently coming in. “Good afternoon Lunos. I know you don’t want to know much about the pups but I need to check on them now.” he said as he pulled in a large machine behind him.

I nodded and moved closer to the edge of the bed. I didn’t want to know about the pups I was carrying because my boys had been keeping their distance from me. For the past two weeks, they had been missing from my life and I had been missing them very much. I had become very depressed when they hadn’t shown up for the gender reveal. I had just told Hayle to make sure the pups were doing fine and leave after that. I didn’t want to know if my Mates didn’t. I didn’t want to know what I was having until my Mates were with me and that was that. Hayle had been all set and excited to tell me about it but had nodded and done his normal scans of the pups before leaving me alone to sulk.

I lay still as Hayle did his job and checked on my pups before quickly and quietly leaving. He had left more medication for me on my bedside table with a progress report on my pup and a note on how to take the meds and when but he had not said a single word to me.

I was more than depressed now.

Was I really that bad of a person? Had I really chased everyone away? Not even Cassie had come by in the past two weeks to check in on me. She had come by almost every hour with some kind of sweet and a bright smile. Claiming herself the pup’s godmother already.

I had smiled and shook my head at her. Of course, she was their godmother. It was an automatic thing anyway and she really hadn’t needed to say anything but she had to because it had been Cassie and she had to be loud about it.

I could feel my pups moving around and their movements made me even more sad because I couldn’t get one of my Mates to be excited with me about it. Fed up with being alone and depressed I reached out to Jace. Hoping they were still linked to me like always. I needed to feel one of them. I was so afraid they were leaving me that I was on the verge of tears as I reached out for him.

‘Jace?’ I called out with a sadness in my mind.

I could instantly feel my Alpha Mate in my mind. Jace was there and he did not seem happy but it was more of a deep concern for me more than anything, ‘What’s the matter little star?’ came Jace’s voice, filling me with a happiness I haven’t felt in a while. He was worried about me!!

I whimpered, reaching out for him with my magic, ‘I need you and Jax. Where are you? Why have you been avoiding me?’ I asked trying very hard not to cry. I have never felt so alone before and that included when Diego had taken me hostage.

Jace reached back out to me, I could feel his fingers in my hair, softly running through my hair soothing my nerves instantly. ‘Oh, little one, we have not been avoiding you. Jax and I had to leave the Pack for a few weeks. We are coming home now. We should be home in the next hour.’ Jace replied getting me to sit up in a flash. I squeaked out in pain from the quick motion but ignored it for the moment.

They left the Pack without telling me? ‘You left without telling me?!’ I exclaimed the hurt apparent in my voice. I usually always went with them when they left. They never left me alone in the Alpha house without them around. I had thought they had been sleeping in a guest room or something. Trying to give me some room because my stomach was too damn big for us all to fit in our bed.

Jace growled a little bit at my thoughts, but I could feel him taking a deep breath so that he didn’t snap at me, ‘Oh no sweet one. We told you the day before we left and you threw us out of the room. Then we left you a note telling you how much we love you and that we would bring you back some special sweets for upsetting you.’ Jace replied, trying to comfort me quickly.

I tried to bring up that conversation because it did sound like something I would do in my pregnant state. I finally remembered that night and the tears I had been holding back began to fall from my eyes. I really had chased them from the room the night before they were leaving for two weeks. I am such an asshole.

‘I’m so sorry Jace.’ I sobbed out, placing my face in my hands, still sobbing.

‘It’s all right baby. We knew it was going to be hard and we understand that you were mad that we were leaving when you wanted us to stay, or at least come with us. We had to leave for an alliance and you couldn’t come with us. Jax and I fully understand that you were beyond pissed that you couldn’t come as our Lunos and do your job. However, we have said it before love and we will continue to say it. Your health comes first little star.’ Jace said his voice soothing in my mind.

I was trying very hard not to just break in that moment. They had gone through hell with me in such a short time and they still loved me. They had stuck with me no matter what and now we were going to have twins and they needed to at least know that. I still didn’t know if they were both boys or both girls but I did know I was having twins. I had been keeping it to myself and they deserved to know.

I linked our minds with Jax’s letting them both feel my presence so they would know that I was with them as they came back to me. ‘I have been waiting for the two of you for so many things but I wanted to let you both know that I am carrying twins.’ I said getting whoops of joy from my Mates. I felt the others around them staring at their Alphas like they had just lost their minds. I laughed at my boys a little. They were just as excited as I had hoped they would be and it made me feel much better.

‘We are coming baby boy!!’ Jax shouted as I felt them pick up speed as they ran for home.

<<<<<<<<Time Skip Three Weeks >>>>>>>>

[Still Orion’s POV]

The boys have been stuck to my side since they came home and I haven’t been happier. I’m still pissed I’m as big as a fucking house but they help me to see past that. I got over the fact that no one really came around me because they had other things to deal with and I was in no condition to really do my duties as the Lunos of the Pack. Cassie had to take over for me while I was down and the boys were away for those two weeks. It had been crazy to say the least but things had settled a little when they came home.

Barely being able to move and always being exhausted did hinder my ability to do much.

When I woke up one morning, I was feeling very heavy in my lower regions and I just felt very off-balance. Something was off with me today and it just felt like something was going to happen. Something very good.

Around lunch time, I stood up to use the bathroom and a sharp pain went right through my stomach causing me to double over in pain. A large puddle of water suddenly appeared at my feet and my head shot up to look at my Mates.

“My water broke!” I shouted, getting them to instantly go into motion. Jax gently picked me up as Jace started grabbing everything we would need for the next few days. Everything was happening in a flash. My boys were not wasting any time in getting me the help I needed.

I was now in the infirmary with Hayle and Sasha at my feet trying to get me to push out my pups. I was screaming in pain and yelling at my Mates that I was never letting them TOUCH my ASS again!! They were at my head, both encouraging me and telling me how much they loved me and how sorry they were and all the things they were going to do for me. It was never ending.

This was the most painful thing EVER!!!

Suddenly the cries of my first born reached my ears. “It’s a boy!” Hayle exclaimed as Sasha handed me my first-born son.

“Kane” I huffed out, smiling down at the little golden-haired child in my arms. I could feel his power, so much like Jax’s. Kane was going to be the next Alpha King. I could feel it in my bones.

I smiled happily as he curled up against me. Another pain shot through me as I began to push again for my second child to come into this world. Holding onto my first born with my life I brought my second born into this world.

“Another boy Lunos!!” Hayle exclaimed a smile on his face as he handed the boy to Sasha to clean up and hand to me. I smiled happily as she handed me my second son.

“Aiden” I huffed, he looked so much like his brother, but I could see the differences. My little Aiden was so much like Jace that it was unmistakable that he would be a scholar like his daddy.

I was more than happy. My sons. My boys. I felt more than complete in that moment. They will always know love and happiness. I will never treat them as I had been treated. They will never know hatred or hunger. I will never rise my hand to them in anger. They will never know what it is to be scared of their own parents for one moment.

I was thinking of their precious little faces when another pain flashed through my stomach, causing me to cry out and begin to push again. Hayle went back to my entrance, his face filled with shock as he faced another pup. He and Sasha went right back to work quickly, making sure to take care with this pup, who was much smaller than their brothers.

“Another is coming. Push Lunos!” he said, as my Mates took one of their sons making sure they were cleaned and safe as I pushed again.

I pushed three more times before another small cry filled the room. “It’s a girl!!” Hayle exclaimed getting three very shocked gasps. I looked up as he came to settle my little girl in my arms. A bundle much softer and smaller than her two brothers but no less precious to me.

She was so precious. Her little fingers and toes were perfect. Her light blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

My sweet little “Rosaline.” I whispered as I nuzzled against her little nose.
