To Build a Home

{Part 3 of Tell me that you need me (cause I love you so much)}

Takemichi wished he could say that giving birth to his children was a breeze, but it wasn't.

It was difficult and painful, and he remembered every agonizing second his body went through in an effort to bring his children into the world.

He remembered squeezing Chifuyu's hand so tight that the beta whined, he remembered Emma's coaching words and hums of approval as he followed them. He remembered Mikey's soft murmurs of praise and declarations of affection, his alpha nuzzling into the sweat-damp curls on his forehead.

But most of all, he remembered Emma gasping in awe as she cut the umbilical cord of her nephew, his firstborn son.
