Three Mates!? Oh, F*CK! *It's Here!*

Chapter 12

Derek~

My chest was tight. Not only with pride, but with worry as well. Skylar was pregnant? How the hell could that have happened?! I was so happy that she was going to be having my child, but to what cost? What wedge would it shove between me and the guys? They weren't the one that got her pregnant. It wouldn't be their son or daughter coming out in less than eight months. I sat on the bed while Skylar was cuddled into Cain's arms. They wouldn't look at me. Ryder was in the study talking to the elder.

I stood as the door opened and Ryder and Elder Mason walked in. Cain stood as well but they didn't make Skylar stand. She simply lowered her head. 

"G-guys." Ryder said. Oh god. It was bad. He never stuttered. "Do you all remember when Elder Erik told us that our precious was important?" He asked. 

"Yeah?" I said. "What? So she can have kids? We already knew that." I looked confused. Elder Mason stepped forward.

"Skylar can do more than have kids, in the normal mating way. She can carry all three of your babies at once." He said. I couldn't help but bust out laughing. Was he serious?

"No offense Elder Mason, but there's no way that she can carry all three of ours at the same time." I rolled my eyes and sat down. I heard a snarl from Mason and I quickly got back to my feet. I kept my eyes down. 

"And you should know that many things can happen. You also know that my mate, a male, is pregnant with my child. So I suggest you listen to me. This is why they sent me, instead of Erik." 

"But sir," My cheeks blushed a little. "I was the only one in her..erm..." He chuckled. 

"It doesn't matter. Skylar Pacar was born to have three mates. Her body is set up to allow the essence to find its way to her uterus. She may be pregnant, yes, but if she is, you need to triple up on everything. On every pregnancy that she has, she will have each of your babies. Her body will hold the cell until there is each cell of yours to complete it." He said. 

Skylar~ 

My eyes were wide and my jaw was dropped the entire time. My hand instantivly went to my stomach. I had three babies inside of me. I wouldn't be birthing one, nor two. But three all in the same day. I was worried now. 

"It's ok, baby." Cain whispered in my ear. I could feel that he was in a bit of a better mood but that did nothing to help my nerves. He rubbed my tummy gently. Soon he would be able to feel his son or daughter moving around in me. 

"I'm scared." I whispered as tears came to my eyes. 

"Oh honey. Don't worry. We will be here." I shook my head and a few tears escaped. 

"That's not what I am scared about." I sniffled. "My babies are going to die and there is nothing I can do about it." The air in the room tensed as all eyes moved to me. 

"What?" Elder Mason said. "What did you just say, darling." He asked softly but filled with worry. 

"I have been having these dreams. For the mast two weeks. Each night, I would dream that I was pregnant. and in the end, I lost the baby. Sometimes my dreams were even as cruel as to let me hold my baby alive before they ended it's life. "

The room got silent but I didn't care. I only wanted my babies to be alive and healthy. 

"Please Elder Mason. Help me understand why I am haivng these dreams so I can prevent my babies from dying." I said helplessly looking up at him. He looked at me a minute then gave me a nod. He vanished and I was left alone with my three mates. 

"Skylar, why didn't you tell us before that these were the types of dreams you were having?" Derek asked. I kept my head down and my eyes on my hands as I played mindlessly with my fingers. 

"I didn't know why I was having the dreams. I didn't understand them and I didn't want you all to worry. Y'all worry enough." i said. I licked my lips and slowly stood up. Cain kept his hands on my hips as I stood before him. "May I go lay in the hot tub?" I asked. I knew they wanted to pester me with more questions but I just couldn't handle it right now. I needed some space and some time to think about what was going to happen. 

Ryder nodded. "Of course, love. We will make you some breakfast and bring it out to you. Don't form into your wolf until we know that it wont affect our babies. Ok?" He said. I nodded and walked out the room. 

Cain~

I felt helpless as I saw how sad my beautiful mate looked. She was carrying three babies, one from each of us, and yet she knew she was going to loose all three. It tore me up inside. I looked to Derek. 

"What are we going to do?" I asked. He frowned. He was still looking at the door Skylar had left out of. 

"I don't know." He whispered. "I don't want to loose my child, but I don't want to loose my mate either." He looked to Ryder then to me. "We have to do everything to make sure she stays calm through all of this. If she is right, we need to start preparing ourselves for the loss of our first child." He said then walked silently out the room. I was sure that he was going out for a run. He did it a lot when he needed to think things through. 

I rose from where I was sitting and set about helping Ryder make Skylar's breakfast. Her hunger would get worse and worse the closer we got to the delivery. 

I was going to me a silent morning for us all.
