Jaime

Everyone was alright it seemed. With the two weeks they might miscarry past I could see Ellis relax but I'd also noticed in the four weeks since then that he was getting clingy, with me specifically. I let it go trying to see how he would do. Would he correct his partiality and spend time with Brock or not?

At a month and a half they had nice basketball size tummies and looked really cute. Things took a turn in the clingy Saturday at lunch. I was making everyone some sandwiches with Ellis leaning next to me. He'd been staying close to me the entire time. I noticed Brock step up behind him. Ellis seemed to smile as Brock put his arms around him then he jerked and fought out of his arms while growling and snapping at Brock. Brock let him go and stared in shock. Ellis was hiding behind my back as I faced Brock.

"Sweet, what was that about?" he stared almost in confusion at Brock. I pulled him around and into my arms. "Sweet?"

"I, I don't know. I just... I just don't want him touching me."

"Why not sweet he loves you. he just wants to show that to you." Ellis frowned and growled.

"I don't want him. I just want you." he says and pressed himself into my arms. Brock was trying not to look hurt but he was.

"Sweet, he loves you as well. I thought everything had been going fine since the claim."

"It's not the same now."

"Why not?" I ask as he buries his nose in my fur.

"Because I'm pregnant."

"Yes, but he's daddy too. He likes to know that you are pregnant. It could very well be his baby, it pretty much is since we're twins. We have the same DNA pretty much."

"But the baby isn't his it's yours." he says against my chest. I glanced at Brock he'd turned stoic. From being denied at claim to now not wanting to be touched, add in that he was being denied the baby he already loved. I felt for my brother but I wasn't sure what to do about this.

"How do you know?"

"I don't know. I just do. It's your baby."

"For the score Ellia thinks the same thing of hers. Told me crying the other day that she knew the baby was yours. She could feel it. She could feel it, some kind of connection to you that she didn't have with me. But we know that heats are for getting pregnant and you as close to a full shifted wolf during the heat puts you ahead in chances to be daddy. That doesn't bother me I sort of knew that long before we mated."

"I'm sorry Brock." he chuckled.

"I don't blame you. It's simply how it works. I'm sure that this is more carried over from the claim. When the baby is born I bet he calms down." that did not make me feel better. But I did have an idea that I didn't think Ellis would like but it might work. Pushing him back from me I tip his head up so he looks at me.

"Ellis I want you to do something for me. It'll be hard but I want you to do it for me okay?"

"Okay."

"I want you to spend the next three days solid with Brock. You can talk to me and things but I don't want you to touch me, you spend all your time with him, even sleep with him okay." he looked devastated and tears slipped his eyes.

"Are you sending me away?"

"No. I want you to do this. I'll explain after it's done alright? You'll trust me do this. I'll be right here to talk to and watch over you but spend three days with Brock. Okay? I love you." he nods and I push him back until he's stepped into Brock's arms. Brock rolls his arms.

"Oy, he's a person not a brussel sprout. This won't work."

"We'll see. No true harm in trying." I turned back to the sandwiches. When they were made I gave Brock and Ellis their plates. Ellis did just as I asked and sat next to Brock. Ellia came in and smiled grabbing her plate she bounced up onto the counter to eat while Honey sat on the floor and caught the little pieces that Ellia dropped to her. I just chuckled.

"You spoil her. You know that?" Ellia grins.

"Of course I do. She's such a wonderful girl. You love your mama don't you? You love Jaime too don't you." Ellia looks at me and giggles. "I think she has a crush on you. Crouch down to her level and watch what she does." I crouch down and Honey goes all gooey and rolls over complete submissive to me, giving me air licks. "See, she's totally in love with you." I hear Brock sigh from behind me.

"At this rate we'll just assume everyone does." He stood and left. Ellis, doing what I asked gets up and hurries after him.

"What was that about?" She asks. I explained what happened and what I asked of him. She winced.

"Maybe I shouldn't have told him what I felt."

"You really think I'm the father?"

"Yes. I just got this connection to you that I don't have with him. I still love him bunches and do prefer him, I just... now I feel bad."

"He's trying not to feel rejected and left out but I really think he does. Maybe try to involve him in the baby. Don't neglect him."

"Okay. Do you think this will work, making them stay together?"

"Well when I was a kid I hated brussel sprouts mom made me eat them at lunch and dinner for a week. Then I wasn't allowed to have any for a week. By the time the second week was over I was asking her to buy some. I still like the things because of that. I'm thinking that if he is reminded of why he loved Brock it might help him get past this."

"I hope you know what you're doing."

"Me too." the next three days were hard on me. I wanted to hold him, make love to him but I kept my distance. The first day was hard. The second day he cried, but Brock held him and Ellis took the comfort. By the start of the third day Ellis was laughing with him and kissing him on his own. The end of day three I went to him and smiled.

"The three days are over, but will you do something else for me?"

"Okay." says hesitantly.

"Spend the next three days with me like you did with him. Alright?" he nods. So for three days he followed me around and we talked laughed, but I kept from making love to him. I knew that Brock had made love to him but i kept back from that. The three days was nearly up. He was watching Brock attentively as I was once again making lunch.

"You okay?" I ask. He looks at the clock then at Brock.

"The three days isn't up yet. You have twenty minutes." he stuck his lip out.

"But isn't that close enough?"

"No. Twenty minutes. Help me make up the lunch plates. Spoon out the potato salad." he did it still watching the clock. I saw little tears in his eyes as he turned and looked at Brock. "Ellis?"

"Yes." he says.

"What if I said I didn't want you to talk to Brock ever again, or see him, or touch him or make love to him. What if I told you that?" his eyes were wide and horrified.

"You, don't want me talking to him anymore? Did I do something wrong?" I smiled.

"No. You didn't I just wanted to know what you would think of that?"

"But he's my mate too, and he loves the baby and he wants to make sure that we have lots more babies. He wants a big family. You do to can't we be a big family together? Is that alright?"

"Yes. Your three days are up. I love you, we'll be a big family together." he gives me a smacking kiss and hurries over to Brock and sits in his lap to kiss him deeply. Laughing Brock shakes his head and looks at me.

"Go ahead and gloat." Brock teases rolling his eyes. Ellia who was watching bounced up and around to me.

"Smarty pants. Happy now that everything is back to good?"

"Yes." I kiss her and smack her butt sending her to sit while I bring the plates over.
