The Alpha's Twins

The First Hour

"Val, are you okay?" Danaya asks me while she lies me down on the bed.

"I'm fine. Seriously," I reassure her and honestly I did feel fine. There wasn't any pain and if anything, I was feeling very good. I didn't feel my water breaking or hear it splash on the floor and I'm still convinced it was a Braxton Hick but I knew that instinctively the paternal pack of my pups are going to be more protective because one of them will be the next Alpha after their father. It's nerve wracking that I'm getting all this attention and I wish that I wasn't the mate of an Alpha or the daughter of a Beta because I'd be normal like everyone else rather than Alec's Luna. I raise up and swing my legs over the bed to sit up.

"Valentina, you've gotta lie down. Right now." Danaya tries to push me back down and I swat her arm away from me placing the other on my stomach.

"I'm fine. Get off. When is the doctor coming?"

"Apollo is getting her." Danaya reassures me sitting on the bed next to me. I push my hair from my face and take a deep breathe. I get up and walk towards the door. It's strange because I don't feel anything anymore. It's like eight minutes ago never happened.

"Can you please be a decent laboring soon-to-be mom and sit down?"

"No. I'm not giving birth to my babies here. I refuse." I demand eyeing both Danaya and Alec for an answer. The weight of the twins in my belly were overwhelming me so I place my hand at the pit of my back to support myself from tipping over.

"Where do you want to have our pups, Valentina?" Alec slips his hands into mine, putting his chin on the crook of my shoulder.

"I want a water birth. I want them to come into the world in water." I lean onto his chest imagining both twins coming out, pink and full of life landing into the midwife or Alec's large hands. It'd be perfect.

"I don't think a water birth is a good idea." Danaya says.

"Why not?"

"Because they could die, one. And two, where are we going to find a place where you can give birth in water? If we leave, our father will sniff you out in seconds."

"I don't care. I want to have them in water. I'm the mother so I choose." I remind them sternly. Danaya was treating me like I was only a surrogate to her baby. They're mine. Only mine and I refuse to let them treat me like this isn't my body and I don't have a choice.

"Okay, then. I guess I better find a place." Danaya leaves the room and goes outside. I turn around and face Alec, placing my hands onto his chest and looking straight into his eyes. The power he holds over me is insane, as I stare into his soul through his eyes it makes me want to tell him everything.

"I'm scared," I whimper putting my head on his chest and snaking my arms around his waist. More than anything I wanted this to be over with.

"Hey, look at me," he places his hands on the sides of my face and looks me in the eyes, "you're going to be fine and I'm going to be right here."

"I'm just so excited to see them. Finally. And they're going to be ours, Alec." I smile and take up Alec's hand putting it on my stomach.

"All ours." Alec whispers in my ear causing my back to shiver. In my mind, all I can think about is the twins and what they're going to look like and how they're going to be. It was overwhelming because I never thought about this before and soon I realized that I haven't thought about anything relating to them.
