Joey laughed. “We know. Trev kind of ruined that surprise.”
“Yeah, but you must not have looked very closely at the ultrasound, or you would have seen not one, but two babies. Felik and I are having twins.”
There was a round of gasps and squeals of surprise in the room. Then Joey and Connor were hugging Jeremiah, and I was trapped under not one but three omegas.
“We’re so happy for you!”
The two omegas released Jeremiah, but I could tell there would be a lot more squealing in my life around those three.
“Anything you need, let us know.”
“Of course, I’ll have so many questions.” The happiness in Jeremiah’s voice rang true, and I loved hearing it. We could finally begin the next part of our lives now.
After a little more chit-chat and reassurances that Jeremiah was okay, the family left us alone in the room again.
I still held Jeremiah in my lap. I was not willing to let him go.
“I love you so much, my omega.”
He sighed and kissed my chin. “I love you too, my alpha.”
EPILOGUE
JEREMIAH
I pushed Matias in his stroller, more as something to lean on than because I wanted the extra weight. I had plenty of that without adding another forty pounds to the load.
But I had to keep moving.
It was the only way I was getting these babies out of me… And they were coming out. I was coming up on thirty-eight weeks and was ready for my planned C-section.
But noooooo…. Every day, when I showed up for my exam, my damn doctor just shook his head and told me to give it one more day.
I kept trying, I really did. But I was done. I didn’t have another day of no sleep, constant peeing, shallow breaths, and an itchy tummy in me.
Those babies needed to get out!
Connor and Joey did their best to remind me that it was all worth it in the end, and a little bit more suffering would quickly be forgotten as soon as I had my babies in my arms.
I wanted to believe them, but it was hard to keep sight of that when I was in so much discomfort.
Everything was a chore, and I just wanted to sleep.
“And where the hell is Felik, anyway?” A contraction locked up my stomach, and I had to curl forward, leaning heavily on the arms of the stroller as Connor flanked my side.
“He’s nearby. I promised to call him if we need him.” He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. “Do we need him yet?”
“No. These kids are never coming out.” I took a deep breath and started moving forward again, circling the driveway for the millionth time. “I don’t even know why they’re being so stubborn. This better not be an indication of what I’ve got coming because I’m trying to make my belly as inhospitable as possible.”
“Yeah, we’ve noticed.” Connor laughed. “I don’t know how you managed to finish a giant bowl of chili and two cloves of garlic last night, but dude, it’s seeping out of your pores.”
“And yet, these babies aren’t taking the hint. Why aren’t they seeping out of me too? They’re just so—” I stopped short, taking stock of what was happening.
“What?” Connor looked me in the eyes, and then his gaze slowly traveled down, seeing the puddle of fluid between my feet. “Oh, thank fuck. I couldn’t take another day of this.” He hit Felik’s number on his phone at the same time that he was calling over Nil to help get me inside.
Within seconds, I was being whisked inside to the makeshift paternity ward that was now a permanent fixture in our home.
Felik came running in behind me. “Jer, love. Are you okay?”
