16 - Chapter Sixteen - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View
Finally, the nurse brought the boys back into the room after awhile and
everyone was allowed in the room. I was super excited, both my babies
were okay and back where I could see them.. After I got to hold the
boys again, I tried to give them to Forest but he refused again because
he was afraid to hurt them. Quinn wouldn't let him not hold the boys.
Quinn wrapped his arms around Forest and helped him hold the
babies. Forest was in tears, he was so happy to be a father. He finally
was holding his boys. It was a moment of pure bliss.
I couldn't contain my happiness. I started to cry. My parentsâ eyes were
filled with joy, after Forest was done holding the boys, both Quinn and
my mom held the boys switching what baby they held every few
moments. Kane and my father did the same thing when they got the
babies. It was a wholesome moment to see the grandparents holding
their very first grandchildren.
Once Emerald changed both him and Lucca came to see if I was okay,
Lucca and Emerald held the boys. It was such a cute moment to see
Emerald hold the boys in a loving family way. To me, Emerald was their
family and he was my family.
we only had to stay at the clinic for a few hours then we were free to go
home. Once we got the boys dressed we were able to take them home.
The car ride was super quiet as forest and I tried to let the boys sleep.
When we got back to the packhouse the beta family came and held the
boys and congratulated us. Kane told us there would be a huge
celebration when I was finally feeling up to it. There were a few blood
bags in the fridge, I drank one and then forest came into the kitchen
and took the one I had in my hand away from me and pulled my head
to his neck and told me to take what I needed from him.
I bit into his neck and took some blood. It was just what I needed and it
deepened the bond that forest and I had. Forest and I both walked to
the nursery to check on the boys; they were both still sound asleep.
Soon they would wake up and would need to be fed. Em said they both
would drink normal milk. We asked because the Chance was a hybrid
and they were rare among all the Races of Supernatural Creatures.
I drew in a breath and both boys" eyes shot open and they cried. forest
and I ran to a crib and grabbed that boy and he handed the boys to me
and I sat in the rocking chair as he went to make a bottle. Both boys
had their eyes locked on my face, no doubt because I carried them and
they knew I was their mother.
Forest was back a little while later with two bottles in his hands, he took
Chaise and I took Chance. Chance took the bottle into his mouth right
away and fed, he took all the bottles in what seemed to be only ten
minutes.
I was glad the Chance would have all the food he would need now.
After he finished feeding I laid him on my shoulder and attempted to
burp him. Forest watched and tried to do the same thing but he didn't
grab a blanket and Chaise spit up on his shoulder but forest only
looked happy he wasn't grossed out like I thought he would be.
After the boys were fed and burped I sung them to sleep and placed
them both in the same crib, forest and I turned on the baby monitor
and went down the hall to our room, I crawled into bed I needed to
sleep, forest said he would join me after he had a shower, I told him
that sounded great. I closed my eyes and allowed sleep to come over
me, I heard forest get out of the shower and then I heard one of the
twins crying.
I got out of the bed and walked to the twin's room, Quinn was in there
changing Chaise. He and I laughed and we talked about the night I
found Forest and how he found me by Forest's crib and how I always
put him above me. Forest met me in the nursery and led me back to
our room and we both went to sleep trying to soak up as much as we
could before one of the twins sent their alarms. We didn't get very
much sleep because the babies started to cry only a few moments later.
Forest and I both stood up and walked to the twins room. Quinn was
also stumbling down the hall the same time we were to the twins. Kane
followed him down the hall.
âYou two get to bed, we will take this shift.â Kane said before lightly
pushing us out of the nursery. I had never been so happy to hear him
talk before. Forest didn't even take a moment to think about it, he just
said thanks and pulled me out of the room right behind him. I found it
super funny how fast he left to get sleep. You would think he would be
good with babies after all the babies he grew up with, but nope.
He pulled me down on the bed with him and we snuggled together
letting sleep take over, We both knew we would need this sleep for our
shift of looking after the twins. Quinn and Kane were such a blessing to
us.
