Broken Mate (MM) (COMPLETE)

Chapter Twenty Eight

Alexander Williams

We've been home with Remi for less than twenty four hours and he won't stop crying. We fed him, changed his diaper, held him, sang to him, we've done everything I can think of and he won't stop crying.

I'm gonna start crying soon.

"It's okay, sh sh sh" Knox rocks Remi, murmuring soft words to him. "Go take a nap angel. I'll stay up with him." Knox tries for the third time to get me to go to sleep. The only option for birth for me is a c section. So I have a long incision across my lower stomach. As a werewolf I heal quicker, so it should be fully healed in less than a week.

But it's still a lot on my body, and Knox is worried. "I don't want to leave you with a crying baby-"

"One of us needs sleep. One of us just had surgery. Go lay down Xan" he cuts me off, and i let out a heavy sigh. Standing up, I cross the small living room and giving him and Remi a gentle kiss.

"We love you very much angel" Knox kisses my head, and I nod.

"I love you too" I gave one more glance at Remi, before heading to our room to go nap.

Knox

Xan finally agreed to go lay down, and now it's just me and Remi. It's past midnight, and I know he's not gonna be able to sleep if Remi is crying out here. So I slip on some shoes, and set Remi up in his carseat and head out.

I play some soothing music on my phone, and start driving. After ten long minutes of screaming and crying, Remi starts to doze. I drive a little longer, waiting to make sure he's fully asleep before I drive back to the pack house.

He lets me get him in his crib without waking, and I let out a long breath I was holding. I take a quick shower, which Remi sleeps through. Then I get dressed, make some dinner and eat.

I put leftovers in a container for Xan, deciding to help him sleep. He can eat when he wakes up.

Remi's crib is in his own room, so I decided to sit in the living room and do some work. I have some lesson plans to figure out for my class. I don't go back to work for a while, but I do lesson plans for my sub.

I get paid for it, so we don't have to go without pay. Not that it matters, Peyton and Zeke pay for everything. They won't let us and Xan says we should just let it be.

I guess being the Beta and Alpha of the packs pay really well, so it's fine. I get a good hour of work before I end up passing out on the couch.

Xan

I jolt awake, my heart racing. I got way too much sleep, and it's so quiet. I slip out of bed, checking the time. It's 4am, and it's so quiet. I head to the living room, seeing a passed out Knox on the couch.

I make my head into Remi's room, and I hear a quiet noise. I get closer, and I see Remi's eyes open, and he's moving his head around like he's looking for food. I quickly make a bottle, and I get to feed him before he starts crying or anything.

I feed him, and change him. Holding him close to my chest, i bounce him.

"I love you, you know that? You're the best little boy ever "I murmur, kissing his soft head. "Daddy and I are gonna love you so much. We already do" i keep him close to me, whispering sweet thoughts.

After a while of holding and bouncing him, I looked down seeing his eyes closed and mouth open. I smile, and lay him down in his crib.

Turning around, I see Knox standing in the doorway. He has a small smile on his lips, and he puts his hand out to me. I step closer, linking our hands and he pulls me along with him.

"I didn't hear him," he says, as we pull the door until it's only cracked.

"He wasn't crying. He was just hanging out. Figured i'd feed him"

"I made food earlier, why don't you eat and then we go back to bed?" Knox asks, and I nod making my way to the fridge. I pull it open, and pull out the container of food.

I heat it up, and eat while Knox does some stuff on his laptop. We stay pretty quiet, both pretty exhausted from the last couple of days. We go to bed together, cuddling close.

We get a good amount of sleep, until Remi is up again needing food. Knox feeds him and changes him and lets me sleep.

We get into a cycle of that for the next few days. Knox and I take turns, and we sleep all through the day. Sometimes whoever gets up makes enough food for us both and on the next turn the other eats.

Knox gets some work in, and I focus on sleeping and healing. After a few days of that, we break the cycle. 8am comes, and we both get up and stay up.

I'm completely healed, and take a long hot shower. I get dressed and then Knox Remi and I are heading to my parents.

When we get there we see the twins, and my dad is smiling wide. "Hey baby" he pulls me into him, hugging me tight. "You look really good. Did you guys get some rest?"

"We slept for like three days" I smiled small, looking at my mate. My perfect mate.

"Good. Now let me see that baby" Dad takes the car seat from Knox, and heads to the living room.

Bran comes in from the kitchen, smiling. "Hey!" He pulls me into a hug, and glances into the living room. "Dad will hog your children"

"That's fine. He can give him some loving" Knox says, before heading to the kitchen, probably going to find Noah. Over the last couple months they've gotten pretty close. Maybe being dads helped bring them together? Not sure.

"How are you feeling?" Bran asks leaning against the wall. Ethan and Willow come running over, tugging at their dads legs. He scopes them both up, resting them on his hips.

"I feel really good. We got a lot of sleep that was needed. Remi cried for hours the first night and then ever since he's just been so calm. Only cries when he's hungry."

"Lucky. The twins cried if the door got shut too loud. Or if you coughed three rooms over. But I'm glad he's not like that. You guys need rest. Are you going to have more?"

"I want one more" i nod "I haven't talked to Knox yet though"

"We're okay with the two. One of each, so I'm happy" he smiles, and sets the twins down to go do whatever they do.

"I don't care about having a girl. If we have two boys that's okay too"

"That's a good outlook." The twins start yelling and Bran sighs. "I'll be back" and he's heading into the living room.

I take a single breath, letting it all exhale from my body.

We just had a baby.
