It's been a month since the hospital scare, I was driving Owen crazy because of bed rest and irritability.  He was getting ready for work, "I thought you were staying home again today?"  I asked my arms crossed over my enormous stomach.

"Baby, I can't stay home again today.  I have a meeting.  I can't keep skipping out on meetings."

"You can't skip out on the babies either or whatever it is that is going on with us.  What are we anyway?  We aren't engaged or married."

"I don't want to skip out on the babies or you.  We are engaged remember?  You asked me and I said yes."  He said.  "I love you."

"Yeah right."  I said looking away from him.

"You know I love you.  I love our baby boys.  I love your sexy prego waddle."  He said getting close to my ear.  I tried to avoid smiling and it failed.  "And you're amazing curvy body."  I turned my head to look at him and his lips met mine instantly.  I slid my hands over his jaw.  He pushed me back onto the bed.

I buttoned up my shirt and fixed my tie.  I kissed Zayla on the cheek and fixed the blanket.  I wrote a note and left it by her hand on my pillow.  "Bye baby."  I whispered softly.

I walked into my dad's office, he looked up.  "You missed the meeting."

"I know.  I'm sorry.  Zayla and I had a fight."

"About what?"  He asked. "You better not have hurt her."

"I didn't Dad.  She's miserable about being on bed rest.  I took care of it."  I said.

"That's my boy."  He said making me roll my eyes.

I was sitting at my desk looking over some paperwork when my phone rang.  I answered it.  "Hello?"

"Hey.  You were gone when I woke up."  Zayla said.

"I know baby.  I had to go to work."  I said.

"I know.  It's forgivable."  She said.  "Only if you bring me home a double cheeseburger with everything, French fries with extra ketchup, and a double fudge chocolate shake with whipped cream and strawberry syrup drizzled over the top."

" Damn.  My mouth is watering."  I said.  "I should be home within an hour or so.  I'll bring the food.  My dessert is already home.  It will be nice and hot."

"I want a shower first."

"Please wait until I get home.  I worry about you when you're by yourself."

"I'm fine.  I don't need a babysitter."

"I know honey.  I have a right to be worried.  You're my wife and pregnant with our two baby boys."

"I'm not your wife until we get married."

"Zayla, to me you are my wife and we will get married.  I promise.  I just don't want you to feel like the only reason is because of the babies."  I said.

"Owen I stink I want a shower."

"You don't stink.  I would know I was all over you earlier."

"Maybe that's why I stink.  Like dog sweat."  She teased.

"You need spanked."

"Oh promise?"  She said.

"It'll have to wait until after you are no longer pregnant with the future Alphas of the pack."  I said with a laugh.

"As long as you promise."

I got home and went upstairs to see Zayla.  I opened the door and saw her asleep on my side of the bed.  I set down the bag of food and the milkshakes.  "Hey baby I'm home."  I slid my hand over her back.  She lifted her head slightly waking up.  "You okay?"  I asked her.  I saw tears in her eyes.  "Honey what is it?"  I caressed her cheek with my hand.

"Justin came by.  He couldn't get in, but he yelled that he was going to hurt me and my babies.  And whoever else gets in the way."
