14 - Chapter Fourteen - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View
Forest and I have been spending the last couple of weeks decorating
the nursery and going to the clinic to make sure the baby was okay. I
was at the clinic every three days. Forest had a hard time focusing in
school so Quinn put him onto online schooling until this school year
was over so that he could still be in the comfort of home and be
around me so that he didn't have to worry. It helped him focus a little
more on all his studies but he was still a pain in my ass and got after
me if 1 did something he didnât like me doing.
We spent time getting the nursery together, in less than two weeks we
would have hopefully both of our babies and not just one of them.
Forest and Kane painted the nursery and sent me and Quinn to a spa
vacation and we took Emerald as well. When we got back the nursery
was painted and some of the bigger furniture was set up and only
needed to be decorated with the proper colours. Things were coming
together quickly and it was pretty shocking how fast things were
coming. Soon enough these babies would be here and our lives would
change so damn much, I was still slightly fearful that I was putting way
too much on Forest and he would have a mental breakdown but he
seemed to be adapting pretty well. I still did worry though.
We had two of everything we had to order at the last minute but that
was fine because it didn't take long for it all to be shipped to our
house.
Forest and I were getting the cribs sheeted up and baby ready, he was
excited and scared for all of our health. He was going to make a
wonderful daddy. They say that the mother gets the pregnant glow but
out of both of us, he had the brightest glow.
We decided that the moment Forest turned eighteen, he and I were
going to get married in a human way, it was his idea and I loved it. The
human way of marriage was always overlooked in our circles because
mating was our form of marriage but it was all for us having a human
marriage too, It would be such a beautiful event. My sweet Forest
always had such good ideas for things.
After setting up much more of the nursery forest and I agreed a shower
would do use both so much good. We walked hand in hand to our
room and he stripped me and then himself and carried me to the
bathroom. He set me down and turned the shower on and adjusted it
to where we both would be comfortable.
When we got under the spray of the shower forest stood and blocked
the spray. I was thankful for that because it was a tad bit warmer than I
liked but I didn't complain. He took the pony from the end of my hair
and pulled the braid out, my hair was past my butt, my hair had grown
a whole foot and a half since I first got pregnant. It was quite
troublesome now because of its length.
Forest's hand tangled the way into my hair as he took care of it, he
loved my hair. I would need to get it cut after the surgery because it
was the longest I ever had it. It was very strange I never noticed how
long it had gotten. My nails had grown and I cut them all the time.
Quinn's hair was getting quite long too, Kane wanted him to grow it
out because it made him look quite adorable. My silver hair had also
lightened so my hair was two different silver colours. I had never had
two-toned hair before, It must have been because of the hormones
racing around in my body.
Forest washed the long mane and fanned it down my back before you
re braided it in a fishtail braid. Forest was taking a hair class online for if
we ever have a little girl. I was so proud of him, He took being a daddy
as one of his highest priorities right from the beginning. The closer it
got to the birthday, the more he acted like a daddy.
That warmed my heart that he would do something like that for our
future children. Forest was perfect in every way, he went out of his way
to learn all the best daddy skills he possibly could.
After he finished with my hair he rubbed my body with a peach body
wash and then rinsed me off, he handed me the cloth after I begged
him to let me wash him like he always does for me.
After our shower, he dressed me in one of his larger oversized shirts
and he sat us both on the bed and took my feet onto his lap and
rubbed them softly. His hands were great, he made me melt every time
he touched me with his hands.
I relaxed and laid back and let him rub my feet, he moved his hands up
my calves, his hands were skilled. It made me wonder If he gave Quinn
back rubs growing up. I knew I would have to ask, he massaged up to
my knees on both my legs. I was so pleased, we both yawned at the
same time.
I leaned over and gave him a quick kiss before we both crawled into
bed and cuddled to sleep. I quickly found that was harder done than
said because of all the kicking that was going on inside of me. Forest
chuckled when he put his hand on my belly and he started to get
kicked. He found it really amusing and I found it slightly annoying, even
more so when I had to pee after a rogue kick right to the bladder.
Getting up to pee had chased away my need to sleep and Forest was
out like a light so I didn't bother to wake him up. Instead I went for a
long walk around the pack house. I really shouldn't have done it but I
was restless and I knew I was going to be cranky from the lack of sleep.
I sat outside on the deck until the sun came up. It had been such a long
time since I took the time to just appreciate my surroundings. I was
shocked when Kane came out to join me on the deck around six thirty
in the morning.
âCouldn't sleep Thanatos?â
âYeah, sort of.â
âI get that, Quinn was like that with Atlas, He could hardly sleep at all. I
remember many nights where I would stay up to make sure he got
some sleep.â
"That sounds like something you would do, You have always been so
protective over him. He deserves it, He has been through so much.â
âYou know Forest is really worried about you and his children, he might
not say it but he is. I know how he feels, I was him once too. He's going
to make a great father, So will you Thanatos, you were so good with
him when he was a baby. Any fears you have are just because it's your
first pregnancy, after this one you won't be scared to have anymore.â
âI appreciate that Kane. I'm really worried about Forest, but not because
I don't think he will be a good father, I'm worried he won't take the
time he needs to care for himself too.â
We just sat there taking in the sunshine until Kane finished off his
coffee and got up to do his Pack duties. It made me miss the few duties
I had but I also didn't miss them. I guess I was just bored. Forest got up
a little while later and He all but flipped out when he saw me on the
deck.
âPlease tell me you weren't out there all alone all night.â
âI wasn't alone all night, Your father came to join me for the sunrise but
he had pack duties so he left.â
âWhy didn't you wake me up, I would have sat here with you.â
âYou need your sleep Forest, One long night isn't going to kill me.â
âNext time you better wake me up.â
âDon't count on it little alpha.â
I heard him sigh as he flopped into one of the other deck chairs. He
looked tired even though he only just woke up. I grabbed his hand and
held onto it. This poor kid was going to stress himself out so badly.
That was the last thing I wanted for him too. I need him to just relax.
âForest, I understand you're worried about me and the babies, but I
promise we are okay and the second we aren't you will be the first to
know. Alright?â
âAlright, but don't hesitate to tell me because you think i won't be able
to handle it. Okay.â
âI won't.â
