Silent treatment

Birth

"Babe just push you can do this." I pushed harder before relaxing and inhaling another breath.

"That's easy for you to say-"

"Push Gale." Todd interrupted. I pushed again. "Relax."

"When you're not the damn one on the fucking bed." I cried as the pain increased.

"I can see the firsts ones head now just one more push for this one." I did as told and the babies cries interrupted my thought process. "Nurse Lina," Todd called and the lady ran over grabbed my first born son and cleaned him off cutting the umbilical cord. "One down four to go."

"I feel so fat." I complained again and Darius squeezed my hand.

"Babe you're beautiful, and dropping that baby fat shouldn't be a problem. I plan on keeping us up all night." He winked. I shook my head and laughed.

"And where are we keeping the kids last time I checked you hadn't even put together the cribs we bought six months ago.

"I have an answer for that." He smiled.

"Which is?"

"A surprise, kind of a very late Christmas present." He gave me a crooked grin. Nurse Lina walked back in the room with five envelopes and handed them to Darius.

"Their birth certificates." She filled us in. "And Todd has informed me of the boys current state. The youngest two are going to have to be kept over night under the blue light. meaning you Luna will have to as well because you are breast feeding correct?" I nodded.

"What's wrong with them?" Darius asked worry laced writhing his voice.

"Jaundice, they both have it. And the second to last is having difficulty breathing on his own we suspect he may have asthma." I nodded again. "You'll need to breast feed them now."

"Other than that can we see our kids?" Darius asked impatiently. She nodded and exited the room silently.

"Darius why are you so impatient?" I asked genuinely curious.

"You carried my children for almost eight and a half months, can I hold them for a few minutes?" He snapped. I held up my hands regretting it as the sharp pain shot through me. I'm still in physical therapy the bullet had skimmed my shoulder blade when it impaired me.

"Sorry, I was just asking." I looked down.

"Princess I swear I didn't mean to snap, I'm just under a lot of pressure with work, and now the kids, and you, then the construction site."

"What construction site?" I pressed.

"Some of the men work on our construction sites for extra money. It's how we pay for a majority of the things we have, and we also attack other Packs but that's where a majority of the things come from."

"Here Alpha, their names are on the index cards on the outside of the incubators, and they each have a wristband with their names on it." Lina assured me. "Don't forget you have to feed them."

"Thank you Lina." I offered her a warm smile and she bowed before turning and walking out.

"Eldest is . . ."

"Peyton." I filled him in he nodded scanning over the labeled notecards.

"Right Peyton." He opened the incubator and picked up the boy handing him to me and the IV tugged at my hand tempting me to pull it out.

"How does this work exactly?"

"Well, you uh pull down your gown and out his mouth on your nipple and he sucks I guess." Darius shrugged. I did what he say and it worked thankfully. "That's right baby boy daddy likes mommy's boobies too." He cooed to his heir and I smacked his arm making him laugh harder.

"Take your child." I huffed pulling him away when he started to refuse my milk.

"Next is?"

"Jax."

"How do you remember these names?" He asked handing me my pale son. Let's just hope he gets some color he looks like a vampire. Me and his father both have very tanned skin.

"They're my kids why wouldn't I know."

"You're making me look bad." He commented handing me my premature baby. He drunk for a good solid three minutes before giving up and Darius took him, stood up and put him back. "Don't tell me." He out up a finger. "Beau."

"Jace."

"Damn."

"Language." I scolded.

"Yeah like they understand that."

"Just shut it and hand me he baby." I rushed and he did so. Jace hurriedly sucked on the opposite nipple as his brothers. "Who's next?"

"Uh babe Cameron has the mask on remember?" We thought it would be ironic to give one of the babies my fake name seeing it was my identity for so long. "And a lot of other crap stuck in him." I sighed. "In other news he looks exactly like you." That made me smile just a little bit.

"Just hand me-"

"Beau." He butted in a feeling of success on his face. "Has the cords too. I'll be back with Todd in a minute." He stated walking out.

He came back in seconds later breaking the silence. "Cameron and Beau have feeding tubes because you won't be able to feed them properly while under the light." I nodded in understanding. "Gale I'd suggest you get some rest we'll take the Quints." He said motioning for Darius to help him push the babies incubators out of the room.

I turned on my side facing the window and closed my eyes feeling a bit shaky and tired. I'm ready to take a long nap.

I guess Darius will have to obtain those daddy skills really fast.
