"P''m just as blessed to have you guys as my bonds and fathers of my children. Now, hurry up in the bathroom, at we can go and tell everyone our news," I grin.
The guys already know what we have just discovered. I can feel them reacting through the bond, but they don''t say anything. They wait and let Axel and I deliver the news to them and the kids in person over badde
Two weekster we arrive at the academy infirmary for an ultrasound. We technically should we the mas hospital now that I''m no longer an academy student, but Art and Dot have dealt with all our previous prepades here, and we don''t want to change now.
"How are you feeling?" Art grins as he wees us into our usual room.
"Awful," I admit. "Everything feels more intense this time around, and I''m so tired all the time and voiding daily."
"Hmm, every pregnancy is different, as you well know. Maybe it''s because it''s less than a year since yourst one. Let''s take a look at the little one and make sure everything is looking well in there," he says, patting the bed for
me to get on.
Luke helps me onto the bed and Dotes rushing in, making a beeline for Samuel, who is in Mason''s arms pulling his hair with a chuckle. Dot had just returned to work after having a baby a month older than Sammy, She is a wonderful mother to him, and she is convinced her son, Micheal, and Sammy will be the best of friends growing up together.
Iy back on the bed and Art palpates my abdomen.
"How long did you say it was since your heat ended?" he asks.
"Just over a month," Axel answers for me.
Art checks my stomach again and frowns.
"What''s wrong?" Deacon asks.
"I''m not sure, it may be Polyhydramnios, which is an excess of amniotic fluid, but let''s not worry until we have had a look," Art reassures, and I notice Dot go still, her giddy demeanour suddenly turning serious as she stops ying with Sam andes to assist Art.
The tension through the bond is almost suffocating, everyone silently waiting for Art to speak again. Luke holds one of my hands and Axel holds the other. I look up at Axel and his jaw is clenched, his eyes full of concern as he watches Art and Dot set up the ultrasound equipment.
"It''s going to be okay. Whatever it is, we will deal with it, right?" I ask into the mind link, desperate to hear my guy''s reassurance.
"Of course, there''s nothing we can''t handle," Deacon speaks first.
"We''ve got this, Babe, no matter what it is," Theo says with a nod.
"Everything is going to be fine," Luke reassures.
Axel and Mason don''t speak, but I feel their love through the bond.
After what feels like hourster, Art begins the ultrasound and I think the whole room collectively holds their breath.
"Ah, well, that will exin it," Artughs and turns the screen to face us.
I frown as I look at the small blobs on the screen, trying to work out what it is I am seeing.
"I don''t understand," I say, and I can tell from the bond that none of my guys do either.
"You see this flicker here?" Art asks, pointing to a fluttering on the screen, and I nod.
"That''s the heart beating," he exins.
"Holy shitballs," Theoughs, and we all turn to look at him in question.
"What is it?" Axel demands.
"There are two!" he grins.
"Twins?" I gasp, looking at the screen again, and he''s right, there are two distinct blobs, each with a fluttering
heartbeat.
Axel''s hand goes ck in mine and there''s a bit of amotion as Deacon struggles to hold up a passed-out Axel. He wakes up quickly and D helps him sit down on the bed beside me. I take his hand again, squeezing it.
"Congrattions!" Dot says excitedly as we all try to process this news.
"I can''t tell yet if they''re identical, but we should be able to see more in a few weeks. This will exin why you are feeling so tired, and I''m afraid it is only going
to get worse. I suggest you rest as much as possible," Art exins, and my mind spins as I realise we are going to have three children within a year.
