The Best Present (An ACOTAR fanfiction)

Chapter 4

I took Rhysand's hand and lead him to my painting gallery. On a small shelf, unseen, lay the two onesies. The masterpiece I had been working on all week had been hung on the wall, with a giant sheet covering it. My heartbeat increased and I began to feel nervous again. I took a deep breath.

"Rhys, I love you so much. You have always been there for me and you know exactly what to do at all times. I'm not sure what you're going to think of this present, but I love you enough to trust that it's all going to be okay," I said softly, lovingly. Rhysand smiled at me, and I walked to the painting, and gave the sheet a sharp tug. I backed up, letting Rhys take in the scene. He gasped, eyes filling with awe. There was a beautiful sunset on one side which faded into the night sky on the other. The river flowed next to us, and shops and people rose behind us. Finally, in the center stood Rhysand and I, holding hands with a small girl and boy, all of us smiling and quite enjoying the beautiful evening in Velaris. As he was observing the painting, I quietly backed up and picked up the onesies. They were on hangers and I held them in front of me.

"Are you-are we..." he trailed off as he turned around and saw me. "Yo-you're pregnant?" I nodded. His eyes filled with tears and collided with me in a happy hug.

"We're going to have twins?" He asked me, pulling away a little.

"Yes, we are. You're going to be a father, Rhys," I said smiling. He bent down and put his hands on my stomach, and pressed his lips against my shirt. I heard him mutter, "Hello, baby girl. Hello, baby boy. I'm your daddy and I love you so much. I can't wait to meet you. Your mother is the most marvelous thing alive, and she and I love you so, so much." He looked up at me, a tear sliding down his cheek. He wiped it away and stood up.

"What if I'm a terrible father, Feyre? What if I'm like my father?" He asked solemnly.

"Rhysand, you are going to be the best father ever. If anything your little speech proved that. Don't ever doubt yourself, because we are going to get though parenting together. It's always been us, together, and it always will be." A few more tears ran down both our faces and we shared a gentle kiss.

"Shall we go tell the others?" He asked, smiling down at me.

"I've already told Nesta and Elain. They helped me lift that frame on the wall and pick out the onesies."

"Okay," he replied. "I'll show you my present after." We made our way downstairs.

"Guys, we have some news," I said smiling. Nesta and Elain got a twinkle in their eyes.

"Feyre's pregnant! With twins! One boy, one girl! I'm going to be a father!" Rhys exclaimed in one breath. An eruption of noise came all across the room.

"Feyre, that's great! You guys are going to make amazing parents," Mor said. Everyone called out various statements to that sentiment. Az and Cass both gave me a hug. Mor hugged me and kissed my cheek. Even Amren gave me a hug.

"How come Nesta and Elain aren't hugging you, Feyre?" Cassian asked.
"They already know, Cass," I said.
"Alright, I'm going to show Feyre my present to her. We'll be right back," Rhys said. 'Okay' and 'bye' were heard across the room. He pulled on his coat, and I followed suit, not knowing where we were going.

"Ready?" He asked me. I nodded. He grabbed my arm and winnowed us away. We landed in the yard of a large, yet cozy-looking townhouse. It was black but all the window frames and doors were painted white. It was gorgeous. Suddenly it dawned on me. I turned to Rhys next to me.

"Rhys! Is this ours?" I nearly screamed in excitement.

"Yes, it is. Fully ready to move in. I thought that we would want to move away from everyone and start a family soon, but we already have a family on the way," he paused to touch my stomach. "So it's perfect." I was so happy. It was an amazing present.

"I love it Rhys! It's perfect. Our kids can grow up happily here, it's close to the other townhouse so we can go back and visit anytime we want! I love it! Thank you so much! I love you!" I exclaimed. He smiled and led me inside. There was a sitting room, a dining room, and a large kitchen. On the second floor there were bedrooms for everyone, as well as a nursery and playroom, and a laundry room. The top floor had been turned into a large art studio. Half of it was a displaying gallery and half was a painting studio. There was a walk-in storage closet, already half filled with paints, pencils, pads, canvases, brushes, and other supplies. Rhys had left half for me to fill with my own supplies. There was a second closet for the artwork I didn't want to display. In the studio there were easels already set up, and a large window provided enough natural light to paint. I loved it. Finally, in the basement there was a large training area for Rhys, and maybe later, our kids.

After touring the house, I stood in front of my mate and kissed him, thanking him for the wonderful gift. We finally showed the others, who all ooh'd and aah'd before we all went back to the original townhouse. We sat back in the sitting room, chatting. Elain and Nesta disappeared, but as I hadn't been paying attention, I didn't see where they went. When they left, Rhysand stood, pulling me to my feet and lead me to the dining room, everyone else following. In the dining room, Nesta and Elain were lighting candles on a three-tiered cake, which was sunset-colored on the top which faded into night on the bottom. Little frosting flowers were on the top and stars on the bottom.

"What's this for?" I asked, completely bewildered. Rhysand smiled.

"Happy birthday to you," they all began singing. In the excitement of the babies, I had completely forgotten about my birthday. I'd hoped everyone else would forget, but apparently I wasn't that lucky. I stood, smiling and blushing, as they finished the song. I blew out the candles.

"Thank you, guys," I said. I cut the cake, and we all ate a slice before finally retiring to bed. I fell asleep with a huge smile on my face.
