All Because We Fell in Love

A/N: maybe this chapter will be easier to write, but I doubt it... We shall see, we shall see...... This one skips ahead two years, so little Edmondo and Garrett are both two years old... Hope y'all like!

Alessio POV

Sweat trickled down my face and onto my bare chest as Dino aimed a right hook to my jaw; blocking it, I sidestepped until I was behind him, easily hooking my foot around his ankle and tripping him. "Come on, Dino, you can do better than that!"

As he rolled his eyes playfully, I held out my hand to help him up with a small smile of my own; that wasn't the best decision that I'd ever made because, as soon as I gripped his hand, he tossed me like a rag doll over his shoulder.

Landing flat on my ass, I then slumped to my back with a groan as he chuckled loudly, attracting the attention of everyone within earshot; a crowd quickly gathered, all with good natured grins on their faces, as Dino held out his own hand. Then, it was my turn to repay the favor as he landed right next to me on his own ass. "Now, why on earth would you throw your Alfa over your shoulder and not expect him to pay back in kind?!?"

Chuckling, I stood for about two seconds before my knees were knocked right back out from under me, under the weight of my little monsters. The smiling faces of Edmondo and Garrett greeted me as I reached a hand out to ruffle their dark waves of hair; the whole Pack was proud of the hair that the boys had inherited from their Papá, but nobody was as proud as me and their Mamá.

Speaking of their Mamá... "Papá, huuyy huuyy huuyy! Mamá need chu!" In the 2 years that the boys had been alive, the Pack had gotten used to looking out for them, and had even fit the boy's endless baby babble into their own vocabulary; needless to say, with 100 or more Pack members, Luna and I always knew were the troublesome twins were... ((Hurry. You.))

No sooner had they spoken then my Wolf burst free, right there as I sat on the ground; while my Wolf and I sat literally doggy style, the boys clambered on my back with a round of giggles. As soon as I knew they were on, I lurched to a stand and took off towards the house, my large paws pounding the earth to dust. 'Something's wrong with Luna! Dino, you keep up the training; I'll Mind Link if I need you...'

Between one and two minutes later, I bounded up the porch steps and Shifted, clutching the boys as they rode piggyback. Practically throwing the door open, my eyes scanned the house for any sign of my wife; she'd spent the last five and a half months pregnant, and was due at any moment. Goddess, if anything happened to her or the baby... "Where the fück is she, and what the fück is wrong with her?!?"

My Wolf propelled me up the stairs a whole flight at a time as I clutched the boys tighter, my pessimistic ways running haywire through my veins. What was wrong with my wife and child?!?

In no time at all, I was outside our room; throwing the door open with a thunderous growl, I came face to face with Filomena as she rose a brow. And just beyond her, my Luna lay in bed, white as a ghost and clutching the sheets as she rode out a contraction. "Alessio..."

Rushing to her side, my arms wrapped loosely around her as the boys hugged my legs, watching their Mamá with scared faces; scooping them both up in my arms, I pressed gentle kisses to each of their cheeks and heads as Mary appeared behind me. "Take them, Mary, and don't let them out of your sight; I'll come get them when Luna is done..."

No sooner had she disappeared behind the closed door than Luna bore down again, face scrunched in pain as another contraction rolled through her. She clutched my hand in a vice-like grip and breathed in deep, heavy pants. "I don't know what's wrong, Alessio... Isn't it way too soon for the baby to be here?!? Goddess, help me!"
