The Uniter

11.

Lyre and Jin lead me to the doctor's office in the castle. When we arrive, the doctor is sitting at his desk, looking over forms. It wasn't too long ago, we had brought the babies here for a checkup, now I suppose it was my turn.

Jin knocks on the door and the doctor looks up from his work. The Lycan man is young with long dark brown hair pulled back in a low hanging ponytail that goes down to his shoulders with bright emerald green eyes and glasses on his face.

"Ah, your majesties and royal consort. To what do I owe the pleasure?" He asks as he stands to bow to us.

"We have terrific news doctor. We think the Queen is pregnant. Would you be able to check?" Jin asks him, giddy with excitement.

"Oh? I certainly can. Let me take a look," the doctor says with a gentle smile as he comes and takes me by the hand. He walks me over to a table where a familiar machine is sitting beside of it. He motions for me to lay down on the table. Jin walks over to unzip my dress for me so I can lower it down to expose my belly. Jin takes off his coat to drape over my top, so my breasts aren't exposed. I lay down on the table and the doctor places a gel like substance on my belly as he turns the machine on. He places a long wand to my lower abdomen and starts to move it around.

I watch the wand stop in a certain spot and the doctor's eyes widen in surprise. "Well would you look at that..." he whispers out breathlessly.

"What is it?" Lyre asks worriedly.

"The Queen has got to be the most fertile female in all of Ember," the doctor says as he smiles softly.

"You have no idea..." I mumble out.

"What do you mean?" Jin asks this time.

"The Queen is indeed pregnant, but it's quite extraordinary..." he says as he turns the screen around so we can look.

I gasp when my eyes meet the screen. Jin and Lyre stare at the monitor with wide eyes as they look in astonishment.

"It would seem your majesty, that you are having triplets this time," the doctor says with a bright smile.

I could faint right there from shock as I stare at the three little tadpole looking things on the screen. I just had twins two years ago, how could I possibly have triplets this time?!

"That's amazing...." Jin says with a happy grin.

"Incredible..." Lyre says as he touches the screen with his fingers.

"I could throw up just looking at this...." I grumble out.

"Can you tell what they are? Are they Vampires or Dragon Keepers?" Jin asks the doctor.

"I can't tell from this but if you will allow me, I could take blood from each of you to compare. The Queen isn't very far along, about six weeks at best from what I can see. When a female is pregnant, her blood changes to be able to bare the child and hold it for the entire term of pregnancy. I can use your two to compare to the Queen's and I should have results in a couple of weeks, give or take," the doctor says.
