15 - Chapter Fifteen - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View
I woke up and dreaded waking up right away. Forest has been going
for runs to let his wolf out every couple of hours because he was
scared. Hell, even I was apprehensive about the whole cutting me open
and pulling my children out. This had not been the way I thought this
would go, but then I knew there wasn't going to be a natural birth, I
didn't have that possibility.
I took a deep breath and went to look for Forest. I had to be at the
clinic at eleven am, it was nine now. Forest was sitting with his brother
Atlas, he was trying to explain the reasons why I had to go for surgery.
Even though he had taken the time to explain it I was still on edge and
Atlas didn't understand it either, despite how much he really did try to
understand it.
Forest had invited Quinn's parents to the hospital and I was grateful for
that because they have always been there for him, and I would like
them to be that way for our children as well. Forest came over and
wrapped me in his arms hugging me like it was the last time he would
see me and it broke my heart. Atlas came and hugged me and wished
me well, he also told me he couldn't wait to meet his nieces or
nephews. The kid was such a kind soul and I felt inside when he had
children he was going to such a good parent. He really reminded me of
Quinn and his large caring heart.
I wasn't allowed to eat before going for surgery so Forest and I sat and
watched t.v and enjoyed each other's company. forest rubbed my belly
and whispered in my ear " If it was my choice I would have you
barefoot and pregnant for a long time, you are so beautiful with my
pups in your bellyâ
I was shocked, he didn't even look like he was fazed by what he said
but he basically asked me to spend forever with him. my parents
showed up a little while later and were shocked at how much Forest
grew. my mother pulled me aside and asked me how I was fairing with
all of this, I told her the truth that I was frightened. She hugged me and
told me it was normal and everything would be okay. She also said the
moment I saw the babies any pain I felt would be gone and it would be
replaced with a need to care for my children. I was happy that she was
here for this.
We all sat around a little longer before Forest went to our room and
got the baby bag and pulled me up beside him. I felt chills all the way
to my toes, I was so nervous breathing was becoming an option. I
needed to relax but I was finding it hard. Kane's words did help me a
little bit. He was right this was the first time and it would only get better
after this one.
The car ride to the clinic was long and Panic-stricken, Forest was
rubbing my hip and whispering that everything was going to be fine. I
was a warrior, I had been cut with a sword before and that wasn't the
problem, the problem was that I was scared for my babiesâ lives. I was
so worried for that second baby's life.
âWe are all going to be okay, Than, I promise I won't let anything
happen to any of you.â
âThank you.â
He laid his forehead against mine and I took a deep breath swallowing
down some of the fear and I was pretty okay until we got to the clinic.
When we got to the clinic I vomited, I had nothing but water in my
stomach but I vomited all over the parking lot. Quinn and Forest had
my hands, we walked into the clinic and Emerald took us to the room
right away. He helped me strip and put on a hospital gown. We sat on
the bed just having a conversation trying to calm me down until we
were told to start getting ready.
Forest had braided my hair and wrapped it around the top of my head
and put in a few bobby pins in it to hold it in place. Emerald led me to
another room and to the bed and had me lay there. He brought in
Forest and Quinn and my mother, The rest of them had to wait in the
hall. Emerald said Lucca was out there too, that shocked me, Lucca was
here to see the birth of the first children, he was my friend and I was
glad he was here. Lucca was an old friend that had gone through this
more than once.
Emerald gave me a numbing agent and waited until I couldn't feel
anything at all, then he went to get into a proper set of delivering
scrubs. Emerald brought two nurses in with him, they were both
women. Forest's hand was wrapped in mine and he was having trouble
controlling his wolf, I knew he was trying to reason with his wolf that
this was only for the best.
Once the nurses had given the word to Emerald he began to cut into
my stomach to retrieve my babies. It was a long procedure and I was
starting to worry because of how long it was taking, I was going to ask
Quinn if something was wrong when the ear-splitting sound of baby
cries filled the room, I saw Forest's face and chest untighten, he kissed
my hand and told me how beautiful our child was, then I knew they
removed the second child because I felt empty.
Forests eyes were like a flood and I thought the worst for our second
child until I heard two different cries, Em handed our babies to one
nurse to look over and clean up and then he and the other nurse
started to stitch me up, my mom said I was going to need a nice long
drink of some blood and I would start to heal faster.
After I was all stitched up, and what not they gave me an hour to rest,
then I was covered with a blanket and my children were given to me.
There was a huge difference between them. One was small and had
light silver hair and had one red eye & one yellow eye. He was a hybrid,
We called him Chance. The other baby was larger and weighed more,
his hair was black and he had Forest's eyes, they were sun yellow. We
called him Chaise. They were so beautiful. I loved the look of them.
I got lost in just looking at the twins, I felt like I was just staring at them
endlessly, I checked them over inch by inch to make sure they were
perfect looking little boys, and once I was done looking them over I let
Forest hold them. He refused as he was scared to hold them and
insisted he would hold them once everyone was allowed into the room
again. I let him off the hook this time because I was still too tired to
fight with him about it. A nurse came and took the boys away again
and Forest and I talked about just how things were going to change
now and about how he wanted to make sure the boys had the best life.
