Judith POV

My mum walked back and forth in her room while I stood to the side. I wasn't sure if I should be in the room but my mum reassured me that she wants me there but have the option to leave if I need to. She's wearing a T-shirt of my dads with nothing underneath. My dad at her side letting her turn his fingers purple whenever a contraction comes.

Alec is stood on the opposite wall with his head down. Like I knew, he was at his dads' house so was ready to be here in seconds when mum went into labour. But I also know it was because he wanted to be close to me. Uncle Dustin and Ryker are here, both my grandparents from mum and dads side are also here. These kids are going to be welcomed by their whole family being downstairs.

Unlike when she had me, mum only wanted me and dad with her so the room didn't get overcrowded. And of course Alec because he's delivering the babies. My mum cried out in pain making me come out of my head and back to reality.

"Okay." My mum breathed heavily. "This is the last time. I swear it. No more, this is just terrible."

"Anything you want, baby." My dad told her.

"Anything?"

"Anything." He nodded.

"Get these babies out of me. I swear Judith's birth was no where near as bad as this." She panted.

"There's two babies, your body is just preparing you so you can deliver. You have to do double the work than last time so it probably does feel worse." Alec said.

He hasn't spoken much since being here. He looked at me when he first turned up, but he hasn't really spoken to anyone. He's barely looks at me. All I can do is stare. Since the last time I saw him he's had a hair cut. His once long hair is now short, the sides buzzed while the top is a little long. His beard is still there but it's been groomed so it's looks well kept. Lola probably made him sit in the chair while she did it.

"Great. That means it's going to take twice as long to heal." Mum whined.

"Not necessarily." He replied. "It could take the same amount, possibly a little more. But I doubt it would be a long time."

"It'll be alright. Anything you need, I'll do for you. Just like when we had Judith." Dad told her.

"But we had Alec. Judith had her mate there whenever she needed him. When she wouldn't settle, when she wouldn't latch on he'd feed her, her bottle. What if I mess up? What if I'm not good enough?" She cried.

"You are the best mum in the world. I couldn't ask for any better because you're stood right in front of me. Me and these two are so lucky to have you both as our parents. I know you'll be great. And there's so many of us here, I'm sure they'd settle with someone." I reassured her. Because my mum is definitely one of a kind and is the best anyone could have.

"Thank you, Judith." She smiled gratefully at me.

"Ready to push when I say?" Alec looked at my mum. She nodded and squeezed both mine and my dads hands.

I made sure she kept cool with a small towel while my dad muttered comforting words to her. And like a fucking superhero, my mum pushed. My hand hurt like a bitch but I know if roles were reversed, my mum would let me break her hand if it meant I could hold it. And right now I'd do the same.

"Okay. Baby's crowning, are you ready?" Alec smiled at my parents. Both smiled widely ready to meet their children, the ones they've waited so long to meet just like they did for me. With two more pushes, a cry filled the room and Alec wrapped the small body in a towel before putting it on my mums chest.

"Congratulations, it's a girl." He told them.

"A baby girl." My dad cried and kissed my mums head. "My sweet girl number two. You're gonna be the best to your big sister."

"Alright. Someone has to take her for a moment while we get the second out." Alec said.

"Judith." My mum looked up at me.

"Are you sure?" I asked. She nodded and cradled the baby so I could take her. And gently, in my arms I took my little sister so my mum could birth her twin.

Just like my sister, my mum delivered the second like it was nothing. She truly is a damn superhero. Honestly I can just about deal with cramps, and this just seems like it takes a lot. Baby number two came out with a strong cry. Alec once again wrapped it up and placed it on my mums chest.

"Congratulations. You're still outnumbered, Damien. But at least now you have a boy on your side."

"I had a hunch it would be one of each." I smiled proudly.

"You're gut never lets you down." Mum smiled at me. "Congratulations big sister."

"Congratulations mummy and daddy. Again." I laughed. Gently I laid my sister on my mums chest next to the boy who had calmed his cries and now looked around. "What's their names?"

"Cora and Cole." Mum smiled. "We tried to think of J names to match yours but we couldn't find any that we liked. And when we came across Cora I just fell in love like I did when I found your name. And Cole just fits with it and with them being twins I loved it."

"They're perfect." I smiled. "Now we're one big family."

"I'm set for life now." Mum whispered. "This right here, in this room is all I need. The others are just a bonus." I laughed and so did dad.

"You're all we need." Dad told her while I agreed. "I'm so lucky to have you as my mate. But these children you've gifted me with, damn woman they are the luckiest kids in the world to have a mum like you."

"Yes we are." I smiled widely. We sat in silence for a few minutes relishing in the babies before everyone came barging in ready to see them.

"Who cutting the cords. Placentas are out so I just need to clamp and cut the cords before chucking it away." Alec broke the silence.

"I'll do it." Dad said and moved to the end of the bed. Me and dad laid the twins down so Alec could do what he needed to do. Dad cut the cords and then we cleaned and dressed them in outfits mum picked out. Ready to take their very first picture.

After a while of being alone, the rest of the family came in crowding the bed to see the new family members. I stood to the back letting them see their niece and nephew and grandchildren and so on. I can never keep up, but all of them are family so it doesn't matter where they stand.

"Are you okay?" Alec whispered to me as he stood a foot away from me.

I nodded. "Can't believe I'm a big sister now."

"I know. We all thought you would be your mum and dads only child. I guess the moon goddess had other ideas." He replied. Once again I nodded. We stood in silence for a while watching everyone gush over my brother and sister.

"I've missed you." Alec muttered. Tears welled up in my eyes.

"I missed you too." I replied just wanting to be in his arms. Alec inched closer and his fingers brushed mine.

"You can do it you know." He said. His pinky hooking with mine. I moved in front of him and wrapped my arms around his neck, burying my nose into the skin. His arms tightly wrapping around my middle holding me close to him. I'm sure if we could be closer we would be just that.

"I love you so fucking much, little one." He whispered in my ear.

Hope you are enjoying the book so far. I only have a few more chapters to write then it will be all done.
