The Prophecy

Chapter Eight - Insecure

Hey guys, I'm so sorry for not posting regularly. I've been going through a lot of issues that I'm trying to sort out, and it's messing with my writing, but hopefully I'll be able to start posting more frequently, soon. Here is your next chapter, hope you enjoy.

In the weeks that followed Matthew's birthday, the triplets spent hours together training. Peyton was now having a lot of difficulty moving around, as his belly had grown massive. He only had a few days left before he was due to give birth and he was feeling very nervous about birthing the twins. He was worried about the birth as well as being a good father to them, like Evan and Jaxon was to him and his brothers. Marcus knew about his Mate's insecurities and tried his best to comfort him, but it didn't seem to help much, so he was on his way to speak to Evan and maybe get some advise on how to handle it.

He walked up the pathway to Jaxon and Evan's house, hoping the Luna was home. Before he could even knock on the door, it swung open, revealing the tiny Omega. Marcus had always felt very intimidated by the small framed Luna, mostly because he gave off this vibe of being very powerful. He knew Evan had a horrible past and that his Alpha had saved Evan from it, causing problems with another Pack, but he didn't know the full extent of it. Peyton knew, but Marcus had a feeling that it wasn't something that any of them ever discussed, so he left it alone. 

"Hello Marcus, if you are looking for Jaxon, I'm afraid he isn't here right now. He should be back in about an hour, though." He said quietly. Marcus smiled gently at Evan, "No worries, I was actually looking for you." Marcus told him. Evan raised an eyebrow at that, but opened the door wider, inviting his son's Mate inside, wondering what could possibly be wrong with his baby.

Marcus took a seat on the couch in the lounge and Evan sat down opposite him. "What is wrong with Peyton and why are you so worried? Is it the twins?" Evan asked, prompting Marcus to talk. 

"Peyton seems to be very insecure lately and I can't seem to calm him down. He keeps saying he is going to be a horrible father and that he is going to disappoint me and probably end up being the cause of one of them getting hurt. I've tried reassuring him, but nothing I do seems to work. I'm really worried about him, because the babies are due in a few days and I want him to be happy about it. Right now he is far too stressed." Marcus tells Evan, only to see Evan smiling at him.

"I know exactly how he feels, so don't worry, I'll talk to him. I remember how I felt when I was pregnant with the boys. I felt so inadequate and miserable, even Jaxon had a period of insecurity and feeling like he will be a failure to our children. My biggest source of comfort though, was Jaxon and I was his. Without each other, we would have fallen apart. I will speak to Peyton and I will try my best to get through to him, but you need to carry on being there for him and reassuring him. He might not have had my life, but emotionally, he is very fragile. He needs constant love and assurances. As long as he knows he can count on you, Marcus, he will be just fine." Evan stated with a smile.

They got up and Evan walked Marcus to the door. "Thank you so much for the advise Luna, I really appreciate it." Marcus said as he got to the door. He really wanted to hug Evan, but everyone knew that the only males that were allowed to touch Evan, were his Mate and his sons. Evan gently smiled at Marcus as he turned and left, walking to where his Mate was training with his brothers.

Peyton, spent the morning working on combining his powers with those of his brothers. He really wanted to practice his shifting more, but with the pregnancy, that has become impossible, so for now, they just focused on their joint powers.He will only be allowed to shift when he goes into labour.

Phoenix decided to start a funnel made up of fire, about 4ft high, then Paxton joined in and made a water funnel around the fire, at the same height. The fire caused the water to heat up to burning temperatures. Peyton watched for a minute, before he decided to add his powers as well. He made electricity run through the water and then made the water and fire move together in one single funnel, neither quite touching the other, but still moving as a single unit. He lifted the funnel and moved it towards a practice dummy they had set up. He neatly dropped it on top of the dummy and watched it burn.
