Nos Ascendemus

10

Once all of them were seated, Benjamin said, "This is nice."

"It really is."

It was the next day and the parents to be were finally leaving their floor for the first (1st) time since yesterday. All of the club's members were being dramatic and acting as if they had not seen them for the past fifteen (15) years.

"OH MY GOD! BENJI BABY AND SERAH! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? ITS BEEN SO LONG!"

Rolling their eyes, they laughed at Soleil's ridiculous behaviour and answered him, inadvertently encouraging the madness. Everyone smiled fondly at the three's (3) exchange, considering they did actually all miss seeing them often.

The couple had barely been seen since she's been drifting closer to her due date and Benjamin had been adamant on her staying in bed as much as possible. It also worked out since they had been actively avoiding the club's ruling couple.

The blue-eyed man's gaze met Astrid's, who then, in turn, shook her head slightly, letting him know that the people they were trying not to run into were not there. Surprisingly a lot of the riders were helping them out by signalling to them where to not go and where to go.

It was a greatly appreciated effort because the blonde pair still were not ready to speak to the younger couple. Zia had taken over both Herre duties while he was busy taking care of Serah and preparing for their unborn babies to be birthed.

He felt quite bad about the extra load the older woman was taking on and would often help her out whenever his wife was resting. Then when she woke up, he would be shooed away by his fellow peer.

Ophelia waved her hand to catch his gaze and pointed with her eyes in the direction of the large door on the west side of the room. His eyes travelled to where she was looking and saw that they had been opened, with Nova and Elias standing in the doorway.

Mouthing his thanks to her, Benjamin scooped up his pregnant wife and carried her out of the room. They made their way down to the front door and headed straight to the infirmary on the compound to see her doctor.

It was necessary for her to essentially see her OBG-YN every other day to make sure the twins were okay, as well as check on her overall health too. They were being extra precautious to cancel out any unforeseen trials and tribulations that could possibly happen.

"Hey, Doctor Luke. We're here for the usual check-up, you know the drill."

"Hello to the four (4) of you. I figured, go the normal way that you do and don't worry about the paperwork, I'll sort it out for you before I leave for the day."

"Thank you so much."

The soon to be parents really appreciated everyone in The Odin's Riders MC because they all were trying their best to help relieve any stress that fell onto their shoulders. The two (2) had always carried a lot of the club's burden and now it was their turn to be helped instead.

Arriving at the white door with a gold plate engraved with the name 'Dr Kyra Beckman,' he knocked with one hand while the other hand, held his wife's own. From the other side of the door, the young couple heard a 'come in.'

"Hello, it is good to see the two (2) of you again."

"Hey, Beck we are here for the usual."

The pair watched as the middle-aged woman stood up from behind her desk and beckoned for them to follow her into the adjacent room. Letting go of her husband's hand, Serah sat on the chair and placed her feet up on the footrests, also aligning her legs with the knee backings.

"Benjamin, if you would like you can wait outside while I check her cervix and then call you back in when I do the ultrasound."

"Okay, will do."

The two (2) women watched as the tall man quietly left the room. Once the door closed, the doctor checked her cervical walls and opening for any problems or anything that they would be alarmed about.

"Everything seems to be in order. Remember when you go into labour, you'll experience contractions and that is because your cervix is widening to the ten centimetres (10 cm)."

Nodding, the strawberry blonde called out for her partner to let him know that it was alright for him to come back in. The women giggled as they watched him walk-in with his hand over his eyes and asking if she was decent.

Playfully slapping him, she told him that everything was fine so far and now it was time for them to check on the babies. Doctor Beckman warned of the cold feeling she would get from the gel being placed on her stomach, which she braced for every time.

Once the gel was spread across her swollen belly, they watched as their doctor placed the want on her belly and then to the screen. On the screen, you could make out two (2) sets of hands and feet, both of them cuddling each other in their mother's belly.

"It looks like they're perfectly fine and healthy. It's also really good that they are positioned the way they are. Both of them should be pushed out head first, that is if they hopefully do not change positions in the next few days."

"They haven't really moved much since we first started seeing them fully. Maybe an arm of a leg, but that is it. Is that normal?"

Nodding, Kyra took a cleansing wipe and started cleaning off the gel as she replied, "It is, especially with twins, as they are sharing a room essentially. Twins are not a normal occurrence despite it being seen often. The body is not supposed to conceive more than one being at a time, because this can result in one starving, being eaten by their sibling or born deformed. Good news is that both your son and daughter seem to be the same size and perfectly healthy."

Smiling at the older woman, Benjamin helped his wife off of the seat and thanked the doctor for her time again. This was their last visit until Serah was to give birth, once she was on time with her due date, which it seems as if she was.

Holding her dainty hand in his much larger one, he guided the love of his life out of the infirmary and towards the castle. During their walk back, the pair joked about how their twins looked more like giant jellybeans.

The second the loving pair walked through the castle doors, however, wiped the smiles off of their faces and dulled their moods considerably.

Both Elias and Nova were standing at the entrance of the foyer waiting for them. The older couple were not in the mood to hear what bullshit they had to say, so they attempted- keyword, attempted to manoeuvre around them, but they were stopped.

"Please, we want to talk to the two (2) of you."

"Why? So your wife can just slap my husband in the face for no goddamn reason?" Serah spat out, her whole body started to shake the angrier she got.

Placing his arms on his wife's shoulders, he felt as her body relaxed by his touch and he whispered in her ear, "Kitten, let me handle this. Go upstairs and rest, I'll be up in a few."

Nodding in agreement, she walked around the younger couple with Zia escorting her, but not before she turned back and said, "Either you lay a hand on my husband again, pregnant or not, I will not hesitate to break your fucking hand." Then she was gone.

Turning to face the two (2) brunettes, Benjamin watched them with a cold stare and said, "The fuck do you want?"
