Leelee is six months pregnant and the baby is due any day now. She's a little bit cranky too. Did Calu just snort?

Our pack is ready for battle, all we need to do is figure out how to give Calu a part of my talent. Stupid untalented mate.

'Hey, I heard that.' Calu whined.

'Good. You deserve it for listening to my thoughts.' I snapped.

'You could always listen to mine.' He said.

'Why would I want to listen to you think about me all day?' I teased. Calu snorted. I smiled and placed my head on his chest. My phone started to ring. it was Leelee.

"Hey Jackass, this is Smartass speaking." I said. Someone cleared their throat.

"Um it's Daniel." I blushed and Calu started to laugh. "Leelee went into labour and said she'd kick me so hard we wouldn't have anymore kids if I didn't call you." I laughed.

"We're on our way." I ended the call. 'Let's go figaro!' I told Calu.

'Really?' he said.

'Yep now get in.' I jumped into my truck and turned the key, a black plume of smoke emerged from my stacks. I grinned and began belting out 'Bottoms Up" by Brantley Gilbert. We pulled out of the driveway.

••••••••••••••

Leelee had been in fourteen hours of labour before the babies started to come. Yeah,thats right, BABIES. As in plural.

"I'm going to kill you Daniel!!! You caused this!!!" Leelee yelled.

"Breathe, cuss, do what you need to do." I said. A stream of expletives flew out of her mouth. "Leelee, I think your grandmother is rolling in her grave."

"HA! HA! HA!" she yelled. "Aaaaaaah!" a small cry began in the room. I squealed. Leelee screamed again. A second cry began.

"Did you know you were expecting twins?" I asked. She nodded.

"Amberlee," the doctor said. "you have more than twins." Leelee let out another yell.

Two more little cries sounded a little while later. Quadruplets, can you believe it? Three little boys and a girl. Man she's going to have an overprotective dad and three overprotective brothers and eventually an overprotective Mate. I pity that girl but at the same time I don't. She'll be the little flower of the family. Garth, Murphy, Bryan and Payton are officially the new members of the pack.

I was holding Garth, Calu was holding Payton, Daniel was holding Bryan and Leelee was holding Murphy.

"Switch!" I whisper yelled. The nurse took Murphy and held him while Daniel passed Bryan to Leelee, I passed Garth to Daniel, Calu passed a sleeping Payton to me, and the nurse passed Murphy to Calu.

I held Payton to my chest, cradling her little body. She cooed before falling back asleep. I awwed.

"Calu. As soon as we get married, I want a baby." Everyone looked at me in surprise. I rocked Payton, ignoring everyone's stare. "Babies are peaceful." I cooed. The next second all four newborns wailed.

I jumped and rubbed Payton's back. She burped and I felt something drip down my back. I pursed my lips and nodded when Payton went to sleep. David set each baby in their cradle and Calu cleaned my back.

Eventually Calu just sighed and took his shirt off, handing it to me. I walked to the bathroom and changed. It was an old shirt of mine so I just threw it in the trash. I slipped Calu's shirt on, enjoying the smell of Calu all around me.

I smiled and skipped out of the bathroom. I walked into Leelee's room and right into Calu's arms. I jumped up and he wrapped his arms around my waist. I started slipping. Calu pulled me tighter to him so I wouldn't fall. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Bye Leelee." I whispered.

"Bye Charcoal." She smiled and waved. I wiggled my fingers as Calu walked out of the room to my truck.

Reluctantly I gave Calu my keys. His eyes lit up.

"I knew it! You love my truck!" I shouted earning a glare from a paramedic. I blushed.

Calu got me home without killing my truck. Thank my Nani! Haha I made a funny! Ya know, cuz she's the Moon Goddess. Yeah, no? Okay.

I got home and turned the tub on. I dropped in a chunk of Himalayan Rock Salt and plugged my iPhone into the bathroom's waterproof dock.

I relaxed into the tub and read a book while listening to my playlist.

••

Well, I've finished my book, my fingers and toes look like raisins, I've shaved my legs and armpits, washed my hair and gone through my whole music library. I have accomplished a lot.

I put Calu's shirt back on and my favourite pair of blue ripped boot cut jeans. My hair was in a bun because I could not for the life of me braid my own hair. I'll have to teach Calu. I pranced down the stairs to the kitchen, where I knew Calu would be.

"Hey Calu? Do you want to learn-" I started to say before I noticed a trail of mini-pies. I grabbed a popcorn bowl and got down on my hands and knees. I kissed each little pie before it putting in the bowl. Eventually I made it too the living room, unfortunately not all of the pies did. Oops.

I looked up and there was Calu. He had the stupidest grin on his face. I shoved another pie into my mouth.

"What's up?" I said, pie crust falling out of my mouth.

"Ashlyn, I've waited your whole life and a little more." My eyes went wide. "Ashlyn, Ashes, Butterfly, will you marry me?" I had to chew and swallow before I spoke. I had too much in my mouth. As if knowing that I would stuff my face with pies, Calu handed me a glass of milk.

"Yes!!!" I yelled. I jumped into Calu's arms as he was reaching for the ring. I assaulted his face with kisses.
