"Twins. You have twins."
I had twins, two babies, oh my god. "Would you like to know the genders?"
Well obviously. I nodded and she confirmed that one was a boy and the other a girl.
When she said girl, my heart broke. As I held my babies, I was silently crying.
I knew this day was coming but now that it's here, I wish it wasn't.
"Emily." My head snapped up towards the door and I couldn't help but cry.
"Ophelia and Delilah." They smiled and approached me.
I had sent Alexander out to the waiting room, to tell everyone and now I kind of wish I hadn't.
"Why a child?" I couldn't help but ask, I needed to know.
"That is none of your concern." Delilah barked while looking at my baby.
"How is it not?! This is my child!" I spat at her with as much hatred as possible.
"We have our reasons." Ophelia replied calmly. "Now, the child." I held onto my baby tighter but not to tight.
"Will I ever get to see her?" The twins looked at each other before looking back at me.
"We'll think about it. It is the least we could do." I knew that I had no choice.
I was weak and couldn't fight against them. Reluctantly, I handed Delilah my baby.
"What will you name her?" They looked at me with a small smile, "Pearl." I smiled and nodded. "Pearl, is a beautiful name."
They thanked me and before I could even blink they were gone. Like they were never there. Alexander came back and frowned at the sight of my red puffy eyes.
"What happened?" I sighed and looked at my baby boy who lied sleeping.
"They came." He growled before storming out, he knew this would happen. We all did.
We all dreaded this day the minute I found out I was having twins.
"Hey." Everyone came into my room and I smiled at them. Nathan, who if you don't remember, is Chloe's mate.
He eventually found out about werewolves when I think I had amnesia or sometime after. I can't remember really.
Well he was the first to reach me and engulf me in a hug. "Are you okay? Alexander just stormed out." I nodded and forced a smile.
"Magic always comes with a price, and my price has been paid." They all gave me sad smiles but as soon as there was running I knew it was Aaron.
"Momma!" He climbed onto the bed and hugged me. He was my happiness.
"Hey handsome." He smiled and then he stared at his brother. "Who's that?"
I mentally awed at the sight, he looked so fascinated by the sight of him. "You're little brother." He gasped which caused everyone to laugh lightly.
"We'll let you guys be alone." I waved bye to everyone before returning my attention to my adorable son who was overly excited.
"What his name?" I had a few ideas honestly but I didn't know which one to chose.
"Well what do you think his name should be?" He started to think before gasping, "Bubba."
I couldn't help but laugh. He may be five but his grammar was semi off still.
"How about Mason?" He made a face but nodded. "Do you want to hold him?" He nodded vigorously causing me to giggle.
I kissed Mason's head and then proceeded to help Aaron hold him. He also kissed Mason's head which caused me to smile.
"He so small." I laughed and nodded, "This was how tiny you were once." He gasped and looked up at me, "Not uh." I nodded and he looked back down at Mason.
"We're going to be bwest fwiends. I will wuv you like mommy and daddy wuvs me." I smiled and could feel myself tear up.
"Here they are." We both looked up towards the door where Alexander was holding some roses.
"Sorry I ran off earlier. I needed to cool down." I nodded as he kissed my cheek and ruffled Aaron's hair.
"Look daddy! I have a broder." Alex chuckled and nodded.
"What's his name?" Aaron thought about it before looking up at Alexander, "Asson."
I couldn't help but laugh at how wrong he pronounced it. "Mason." I corrected.
"Can I hold him?" Aaron looked to me and I nodded.
He handed Alexander, Mason. "Be careful okay?" Alexander laughed but nodded.
"I love you guys." They smiled at me, "We wuv you too mommy."
Aaron came to lay by me and ended up falling asleep as soon as his head was on my lap.
"You look tired, Ems." I playfully glared at him, "Well no shit."
He chuckled before giving me a quick peck before taking a seat next to my left.
"Sleep, I'll be here when you wake up." I didn't want to sleep but nonetheless I nodded.
"Pearl." He gave me confused look. "Her name is Pearl." He oohed suddenly realizing what I was talking about.
"That's beautiful." I nodded and felt myself tear up yet again.
"She was in my arms and I never wanted to let go." He grabbed my hands in his own, "Everything will be okay, Em. We'll get through this."
There was no getting through this, I mean we could act like everything was okay but they weren't going to be.
"I made a promise to you, and I intend to keep it. Nothing will change. It'll be hard but we'll get through it." I smiled at him before slowly closing my eyes.
I knew that things would only get harder from here but with Alexander, Aaron, and Mason in my life I had a feeling we were going to be okay.
Maybe one day I'd get to see Pearl, even if it's just for a minute, an hour even, I just want to be able to see her grow.
Her name was Pearl and there was no way that I'd forget it.
