Over the last two months the three guys in my life were catering to anything I needed. Andy's focus was on making sure that I stayed in perfect health for the twins. Jake was focused on keeping me safe and out of any stress. Angelo had been more hands on in the day to day life. Grace and Michael seemed to be really adapting to our new life. Only one stressful thing kept running around my mind. My future, my kids future, who did I pick as my mate? I'd hoped that I would see an attachment, even love for one of the two men courting me. So far they seemed the same in my affections. I had taken to spending a lot of time at the pack house even when I wasn't working. It was much easier to be with everyone all at once. At the moment I was in the kitchen making myself a snack of cheese and crackers. A slap of the screen door had me glancing over. It was Andy back from his patrol. He comes over and gives my cheek a kiss then bends and kisses my stomach twice. I thought it was cute that he was so affectionate and happy.

"So, how you feeling, did you get your nap in?"

"No. One of them has decided that he is professional dancer and my stomach is his dance floor."

"Anything I can do to help?"

"Unless you can make him stop, no."

"Here let me try." He turns me to face him. Kneeling down he lifts my shirt. "Hi, I know you want to show off your skills to papa but he needs sleep and so do you. After your snack everyone gets to take a nap. I'll stay and give you rubs. Be good babies." My belly gets two more kisses.

"I'm not sure it'll work. Did you mean it about rubs?"

"Yes. Eat your snack first." He followed me to the living room and sat watching while I was eating my snack.

"Can I have rubs while I eat my snack?" He chuckles but moves to sit next to me. With a gentle rub he makes circles on my stomach. Between that and the snack my twins were settling down. They'd yet to cooperate about genders. I said he most of the time just for ease but I didn't know yet. I was supposed to have an appointment this afternoon. Here was hoping that they would be in position so I can find out. I was there when Jake came in. He'd been out at a meeting.

"Hey, Junior still dancing on your stomach?" He asks coming over for a kiss. I laugh.

"Yes. After you went to your meeting he took a little breather while I worked then as soon as I lay down for my nap, he was straight up and dancing again. Andy is being nice enough to rub them to sleep. It is slowly working. As soon as it stops I'm taking my nap." I thought it was interesting that I didn't get that 'just got caught cheating' feeling when Jake saw me with Andy but with Angelo it was always super strong. I didn't understand the difference.

"I've got some paperwork to do, but I'll be around if you need me."

"I've got my appointment at two if you want to be there for it."

"I do." I get another kiss before he heads to his office. When my snack was done Andy had me stretch on the couch. With him rubbing my stomach I went to sleep easily.


When two came I was stretched out on the Doc's exam table, Andy and Jake were by my sides and Andy had Angelo on a video app. I lay while Doc checked me over then got the ultrasound machine going.

"I'm still saying it'll be two boys and poor grace will have a hard time with three little brothers." Andy teases.

"That girl, she's probably hoping for two boys." Jake teases. "You still wanting one of each?" He asks me.

"Yes. I think that would be nice. Angelo, what do you think, you haven't said yet."

"I'm thinking two girls just because no one else is." I was watching the Doc and the ultrasound screen. I knew how to pick out my babies and their little arms and legs but with two of them and with them moving I wasn't sure I could tell if they were boys or girls.
