Chapter 33

Anthony came in the bedroom. "You're stuck with me from now on. Dad is taking over the pack so I can stay by your side until the pups are born."

"That is nice of him. I really hope they hurry up, I am sick of this bed right now."

"I have to admit I am nervous. I want to hold your hand and comfort you; I just don't want to mess up and do the wrong thing."

"As long as you are holding my hand and there with me it will be perfect.

The next few days Melody was going crazy. Between Anthony and Papa Charley, they are always checking on her. She can't breath heavy without them wanting to take her to the hospital. "We have to go, or you are going to be late."

"I am moving as fast as I can." 'I am glad this is the last checkup. Getting up is hard to do,'

Harmony snickered, 'Our mate loves us. He is so cute running to get you everything you want."

'He is cute, I love seeing him in the apron when he brought up dinner.'

"Melody, stop daydreaming, they might be able to tell us what we are having this time."

"Whatever they are we will love them. The two of them are movers, the doctor said they have to stay still for her to see what they are." Melody grunts as she stands up. "This would be easier if you lent me a hand."

Anthony ran up the steps feeling guilty. "I don't know where my mind was."

Papa Charley had work done to the house so they had room for the growing family. The easiest renovation was in the basement. It was turned into Melody's music room and a section was set aside for a play area for the pups. The rest of the changes need an extension to make it work. A two story one at that. Two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs. Along with an ensuite bathroom upstairs for the one bedroom and one for the bedroom downstairs. They even enlarged the dining room so everyone could fit.

Anthony helps Melody as she waddled to her appointment. "Hi doc."

"Melody, I didn't think you would make this appointment. You are so close."

"I wish I didn't. I wanted to stay home but my darling mate wants to see what we are having."

She took out the ultrasound machine. "I hope they are sleeping so we can see what they are." She ran the scan over Melody's very large stomach. "I can tell you these two are stubborn."

"Like their mother." Anthony said, acting frustrated, they still couldn't see what they were.

On the way home Anthony was sulking. "You will know soon, Anthony. They might be here by tomorrow."

That thought made Anthony lighten up his mood. "When we get home, we have a surprise for you. Your Papa Charley is waiting for us at the house." When they got in Anthony called Charley. "Uncle Charley, we're back."

"I'm up here. It is all set up."

"Close your eyes for me." Anthony holds her tight. They wanted to surprise Melody. She didn't know they turned the old music room into a nursery.

"Anthony, I might fall."

"I got you, you're not going to fall." He led her to the doorway of the nursery. Papa Charley stood in the middle of the room. "You can look."

Melody opened her eyes to see a room painted like the sky, all blue with white fluffy clouds. It had a soft comfy rocking chair and two cribs along with two dressers and two changing tables. They even had two highchairs and car seats in the room. "This is so precious." Tears formed in her eyes. She walked around seeing all the soft toys laid all around the room. There were two rocking horses in the corner and two mobiles that had stars and moons on them. "The two of you are the best Papa and mate anyone could have. Our pups are the luckiest pups." She started crying.
