    I tried to refuse, but it was no use. My water broke the moment Alexander helped me stand, and chaos ensued. Thest I saw of the conference table, the Alphas had abandoned their reports on the Anthonies‘ experimental medicine.


    Dammit.


    By the time we reached the hospital, I was barely coherent. Dr. Evelyn was waiting at the entrance, a wheelchair already prepared. She took one look at me and started barking orders to the nurses.


    “How dted is she?” someone asked.


    “Eight centimeters,” another voice responded. “She’s progressing fast.”


    Everything blurred together after that. Alexander’s hand gripping mine. The bright lights overhead. Dr. Evelyn’s calm voice guiding me through each contraction.


    “I can see the first baby’s head,” she said after what felt like hours. It probably was. <b>“</b>On the next contraction, I need you to push.”


    I pushed. And pushed. And pushed until I thought I might pass out.


    Then, suddenly, there was a cry.


    “It’s a girl,” Dr. Evelyn announced, holding up a tiny, wriggling form covered in blood and goo.


    A girl. My daughter. Maria.


    They cleaned her quickly and ced her on my chest for just a moment before taking her away to make room for the second baby. I barely had time to catch my breath before the contractions started again.


    “Okay. Here we go,<i>” </i>Dr. Evelyn said. “One more time, E.”


    The second birth was faster. Within minutes, another cry filled the room./


    “Another girl,” Dr. Evelyn said, smiling. “Congrattions.”


    Lilith.


    They cleaned her and brought both babies back to me, one in each arm. They were so small, so wrinkly, and so, so perfect. María had a tuft of dark hair, while Lilith’s was lighter, almost blonde. Both of them had their eyes squeezed shut, their tiny fists waving in the air like they already hadints about the world.


    Alexander was beside me. I looked up and saw the awe in his eyes as he stroked my hair with one hand, his other hovering over the twins like he was afraid to touch them.


    <b>Dr. </b>Evelyn gave us a few minutes alone before she started checking my vitals and making sure everything was okay. The nurses bustled around<b>, </b>cleaning up and taking notes. But I barely noticed any of it.


    I was too focused on the two tiny lives in my arms. On the way Maria’s hand curled around my finger. On the soft sounds Lilith made as she settled against my chest.


    After <b>a </b>while, once I had time to <b>rest </b>and get cleaned up, there was a knock at the door. Liam poked his head in, grinning. Anya’s head appeared shortly after.


    <b>“</b>Can <b>we </b><be </b>in?” Anya whispered.

    “Yeah,” Alexander said. “Come meet your nieces.”


    They rushed in and crowded around the bed, cooing over the babies. Anya had Lucien clutched in his arms, who gawked in confusion and awe at his new little sisters.


    “Aw… They’re perfect,” Anya said, wiping her eyes. “Absolutely perfect.”


    Liam’s mouth twitched. “They’re a little wrinkly.”


    Anya smacked his arm. “Shut up! Everyone knows you’re supposed to say newborn babies are the cutest things you’ve ever seen.”


    Iughed. So did Alexander.


    We stayed like that for a while, surrounded by the people we loved. Eventually, a nurse came and took the babies to the nursery so I could rest. Alexanderid on the hospital bed beside me, carefully brushing the hair out of my face.


    “You look exhausted,” he said gently,ying his head above mine, where I could nestle into the crook of his neck. “You should rest.”


    “I’m not tired at all, actually.‘


    “No?” Alexander snorted. “Typical. You’ve never really been able to sit still, even when I beg you.”


    I looked outside. The sun was still setting, and honestly, I was too excited to sleep. My wolf, the crystal in my chest -they were pulsing with energy.


    I shrugged. “I’m just… Ready for the next chapter already,” I whispered,cing my fingers with his. Alexander smiled and squeezed my hand, propping himself up on his elbow so we could watch the sunset together.


    Rest coulde someday, a long time from now, when I finally returned to the sea of souls–for good this time.


    But not yet. Not when I still had so much living to do.
