Who's My Mate?

Chapter 2 - Babies

Picture above is of Xavier and Zander in wolf form. 

3 months later... I'm sitting in the pack doctors' room waiting for doc James to do my ultrasound. I'm having a boy and a girl. I've decided on Luca Marie Town for my daughter after Luca and myself and Logan Zander Town for my son after my brother. After doc James has done my ultrasound, he prints off the pictures for me.

Walking into the pack house kitchen I bump into a wall of muscles. I look up and realize I've walked into Andrew who grins at me as he steadies me. "Sorry Andrew," I mumble turning red.

His laugh is musical. "It's all good, Xav." He looks down at my pics and grins as he takes them from me. "Pick out any names yet?"

"Yeah. Luca Marie for my daughter and Logan Zander for my son."

His eyes shoot up to mine. "Zander?" When I nod with a questioning look he continues, "How did you know my middle name?"

I grin broadly at him as I answer, "I didn't. It's my twin brother's name. Guess my son is going to be named after him and you." His grin is the best.

Andrew's eyes grow serious. "Xav, I have to go to a meeting next week about the rouge attacks. The meeting with the other packs is at your old pack. Would you like to go back and visit your family?"

I smile sadly at him. "No. I can't. I don't want to run into Blaze. I won't let him have my babies." Andrew nods in understanding. I help cook dinner for the pack. Afterwards I go to my room to send an email to Zander.

My dearest Zander,

I love you and I hope all is well. I'm sorry I left after our birthday without an explanation or goodbye. I had to leave because I found my mate at our party and we had sex then he rejected me. I couldn't stay.

Luca is with me and he's doing well. He's found his mate at our new pack. They're mated and expecting their first pup in two months and they're getting married in three months. I love you and dad. Please tell dad I'm sorry. I'll be in touch.

Love you more than the world.

Your sister, Xavier.

I sent the email and went to the living room to watch a movie with Luca, Abby, Andrew, Carter, Joseph and a few other pack members. Joseph, Andrew and I have gotten really close. Andrew is like an older brother just like Luca has always been. Abby is my best female friend now. Joseph is my best guy friend. He and I have agreed that if he hadn't found his mate when we're 20 years old that we're going to mate. I've decided to have the babies last name be Lee, which is Joseph's.

The day they leave... I give Andrew, Abby and Luca hugs before they leave. I tearfully cling to Joseph, "Hurry home please," I whisper into his shirt as I sniffle trying to stop crying.

"I will, I promise. I'll be home before the babies come," he promises sincerley. I look up into his beautiful blue eyes and smile. He leans down and gently kisses me. "I love you," he whispers against my lips.

"I love you, too," I whisper back. We kiss again before he pulls away and kisses my belly and whispers his goodbye to the babies. They kick him in the face in response as we laugh. We kiss once more before he walks to the truck so they can leave.

6 days later... I just finished my email to my brother, we email every other day. Zander has found his mate, a new pack member, Sophia, who joined Zander's pack along with a handful of others from her pack that survived a rouge atrack.

I walk to the hallway to go to the kitchen to get a snack. Once I hit the kitchen I get horrible cramps just before my water breaks. I scream in pain. Warm hands grab my arm and waist; looking to my left I see Carter.

"Carter, the babies are coming!" He nods and carries me to the pack doctor who he mind linked about me having the babies. Carter places me on the bed as the doctor comes in preparing everything. I feel like I'm breaking Carter's hand but he doesn't complain. Bless his heart!

Two and a half hours later I'm dilated to 9 cm. Carter just told me that Andrew mind-linked him and that Joseph, Andrew, Luca and Abby will be here in a few minutes. Several minutes later a frantic Joseph runs into the room and kisses me on the forehead. Carter goes to leave as Joseph takes my other hand.

Grabbing Carter's hand he looks down at me in surprise. "Please stay," I beg. He looks at Joseph who nods as smiles broadly at him. Carter nods and holds my hand as Joseph hold my other hand.

Three hours later I finally had little Luca and Logan. Logan was born first at 7:36 p.m. weighing in at 8 pounds 6 ounces and 23 inches long. He has black hair like Blaze and his eyes and mouth and he has my nose. Little Luca was born at 7:42 p.m. weighing in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and 21 inches long and looks just like me.

The nurse hands me both of the babies as she asks, "What are their names?" I smile down at my beautiful babies as I tell her and she fills out the birth certificates that I sign. I smile up at Joseph and then at Carter. Joseph takes Logan from me as Carter takes Little Luca. The nurse allows Andrew, Abby and Luca to come in. I have never been happier. Sighing happily as everyone took turns holding my babies as I soon fall asleep.
