The Many Wicked Ways

Chapter Two

I felt a lot better the next morning, the triplets were mostly quiet for the night but Admire woke up whinny this morning. I rocked his gently, feeling his tiny, fragile frame in my arms and I was surprised on how comfortable he fitted, Quincy was larger and more dominate, almost over flowing my arms. Sundai and him were growing so fast and it made me rather sad, Admire was rather slower than the two and I was sure it was because of his omega status. At the most, no one really brought it up and that made me feel better than ever, no one cared that he was an omega, and Alpha didn't seem to care either. I glanced to the door as it pushed open and Barry slowly entered with someone trailing him, I gave him a nervous smile as Abbigail closed the door behind herself and cuffed her hands in front of her waist while standing there and staring straight at me. I averted my eyes from her, feeling uncomfortable as she turned her gaze away finally and I suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. 

I looked down at Admire as he squirmed a little before settling with his eyes staring around him, Barry moved to the side of my cot and smiled down at Admire, who only stared back at him. I glanced back to Barry, looking up in his face as he continued to smile down at Admire with his eyes glistening, I wanted to say he was close to crying but I was positive Barry never cried. Admire started to mewl and I quickly moved to rock him gently, reaching for a prepared bottle that Stephanie had left before she went to enjoy her day off with her husband. I carefully sat the bottle in Admire's reach and his hands found it before his lips found the nipple, I watched as he hungrily latched onto the bottle before guzzling it down like it was his last meal. 

I felt worried about that, while it might of been normal for newborn pups to act this way, I didn't like the fact that they always appeared to be hungry and acted to be starving, where they starving? The thought of me starving my own children made my stomach turn, I was suppose to be responsible and I was always suppose to put them first, I wasn't going to make them suffer the way I did when I grew up. Barry moved to the cot and carefully took a seat close to my feet before looking at Abbigail and gesturing to an empty seat near the bed. Abbigail walked to the seat and gracefully sat down, crossing one leg over the other as she wore a short light green dress, it had a sweetheart neckline that showed the swelling of her breast, the dress clutched tightly to her before expanding just a little at the waist and coming to a stop close to the middle of her thigh. 

I turned my attention away from her, glancing at Barry as he openly eyed her legs before remembering that I was in the room, he glanced my way and then quickly averted his eyes before looking at one of the infant glass cases before him. Barry pulled himself to his feet swiftly before walking to an occupied case and looking inside, he stared at Quincy for a second before carefully reaching in and lifting him up, Quincy stirred but settled as Barry pulled Quincy close to his chest and held him gently. A small smile came to my face as I watched Barry gently rock Quincy, while I was upset that Barry had googly-eyed Abbigail's legs, I pushed the jealousy away and focused on his interaction with the babies. Quincy eyes opened soon and he stared at his father for a second before seeking something else out, I smiled at him lightly as he stared around with his large, clear blue eyes.

The triplets all had their father's eyes, and that was something I actually adored and wanted them to have, I loved Barry's electric blue eyes and his handsome smile, not to mention his quiet personality and his masculine physic. He was a stunning man and with age came maturity, he was slowly maturing into a decent husband and while he wasn't my husband, I knew he'd be a good one to Abbigail, he was the one that got away. 

I turned my attention from Barry and Quincy while taking a heavy gulp to clear the large lump in my throat, I was sad because I couldn't have my own mate but I was still lucky that he wanted me and the children in his life, or just the children but with the children came me. I was scared to be on the sideline, would I be forgotten? I had no choice but to be second because Barry had gotten Abbigail pregnant, or he was at least going to very soon and while I didn't want it to happen, I had no way to stop it because I was always nervous to bring up Barry and Abbigail's relationship to anyone.
