"Are you ready?" Allen asked, looking around Rose living room at his family, giving them a tight smile when they nodded. He created a portal and watched as his sister, Olivia and David walked through. "I'll look after them until you get there Jordon, I swear, no harm will come to them," he said, giving his worried brother-in-law a squeeze on the shoulder.
"I know, it's not as if they can't take care of themselves, but I still worry" Jordon said, wishing for the first time in a long time that he wasn't a vampire, that he could go with them to the plains without burning up faster than one of Rose casseroles, wishing he and the rest of the night children didn't have to wait for the fairy to make it safe for them. Dell had explained that Sebestian trial would be held in the huge courtyard that sat in the middle of the Gard and that they would have to find a way to protect the vampires if they wanted the full force of the B-Class there. "You never stop
"Who is that with Adom?" Dell asked when she glanced around at the ruckus coming from behind them. She slid down from her mates back to watch as they all turned. "Maybe someone should help him, that vampire doesn't look too happy," she said."Shit, that's Roge" Allen said when he saw who Adom was wrestling. He pulled Sebestian across the courtyard. "Roge? Are you okay?" he asked when they reached him."Where is my mate?" Roge snarled, elbowing Adom off him to confront the pair. "Where is my Anna? Everyone else is with their mates, where is she?" he asked desperately, he hadn't been able to find her in the crowd."Roge, come with me," Sebestian said, keeping hold of his mates hand as he led Roge to find Jia. He spotted her talking with a fairy that looked all of 18, surrounded by other fairies. "Please excuse the interruption, Jia, may I have a word please?" he asked, with a tight smile for the
1 week later…Allen woke with a lurch, his mouth filling with saliva as his stomach rolled. He slapped a hand over his mouth, searching desperately for something to be sick into, completely forgetting he was a warlock in the process. He stumbled from the bed, leaving Sebestian asleep as he ran to the bathroom, almost making it the entire way before his stomach decided it wanted to be empty. He clicked his fingers, producing a bucket just in time.Sebestian shot straight up in bed when the sounds of his Omega being sick woke him, falling out of bed and slamming into the floor in his confusion. He looked around, trying to find the source of the sound that had pulled him from his sleep, wondering why he was on the floor before the sounds of retching hit him again. He crawled to the foot of the bed and looked around to see his naked mate heaving into a bucket. The sight stole his breath and pushed him forward at the same tim
1 week later…“Are you ready for this?”Allen asked, perching on Sebestian desk as he gathered the files, he saw the determined look on his mates face, the determination to take no shit from the B-Class they were meeting with. “remember, stay calm and don't try to rip the arms from anyone that tries to shake hands with me” he said with a chuckle.“I know, I know, I’ll try my best but Jace had best not try anything. I haven't forgotten the last time” Sebestian said, giving his mate a quick kiss on the lips and one on the stomach, his face softening for a moment as he lingered. “I swear, if he tries that again, others representative or not, daddy will fucking end him, won't he sweet pea?” he asked with a grin.“Language! Just remember, you are representing the authority,” Allen said with a chuckle, pulling Sebestian from the room and closing the door o
"Come on! I want to see it" Rose said, almost bouncing on the spot in her excitement. "Is that all you're taking, Sebestian?" she asked as she stared at the two suitcases and the single box next to his feet. She watched as her brother waved his hand, sending the piles of boxes, bags and suitcases to their new home."That's all I own," Sebestian said, shaking his head at the pitying look on her face. "My job was to travel the world, it was not conducive to collecting piles and piles of stuff, like your brother," he said with a wink, jumping back from the elbow his mate aimed at him."Hey! Need al tha tuff" Allen muttered around the huge mouthful of pastrami and anchovy sandwich he was stuffing down, shaking his head when they both stared at him with raised eyebrows. He swallowed before clarifying. "I said, I need all that stuff, I'm a fairy, remember? Plus, I've been alive almost 300 years, I was bound to collect a few mementoes
3 weeks later..."Dell? Are you okay, sweetheart?" David asked, poking his head around the bathroom door and regretting his decision in an instant. The smell of her puking her guts up turned his already delicate stomach. He clicked his fingers, producing a bucket just in time."David, I'm sorry, you'll be okay in a minute" Dell muttered miserably before hunching over the toilet again, the sounds of her mate being sick bringing on another wave. That was the last time they were eating takeout from the Chinese place down the road! She had a good mind to report them, she thought as her stomach settled for a moment. She sat up when she thought it was safe, wiping her streaming eyes. "Are you okay?" she called out, not daring to check up on him, it was safest waiting until he had finished. She scrubbed her teeth furiously before swirling some mouthwash around her mouth while she waited."Yeah, I'm fine, I'd say t
6 weeks later...“Like… a date? A real, going out for dinner, just the two of us, romantic music and nice wine date?” Allen asked, well, Sebestian could drink nice wine, he would be relegated to water or soda. He pouted for a moment before running his hands over his stomach, smiling at the definition he felt there, maybe he wasn’t too upset, he thought to himself. “When?” he asked, his eyes sparkling.“Tonight, it’s all arranged, wear something nice,” Sebestian said with a wink, placing his hand over Allen where he lay on the bed and gently rubbing his thumb over the exposed skin of his stomach. He knew his expression had turned soft, but he couldn’t help it when he looked at his mate’s bump. An excited hiss escaped his mouth as he thought about their baby, he didn’t notice the incredulous look on Allen face, to busy making eyes at his stomach.&nbs
Allen chewed quietly as he looked at the three outfits he had narrowed his choices down too. He could go with the green silk button down, black slim fit pants and black frock coat. But the shirt was starting to get a little tight around his middle, he thought to himself, biting savagely into his sandwich. Maybe the bright red v neck cashmere sweater with the black leather pants and alligator boots? Perhaps he could wear his favourite suspenders with it or was that too casual? He pondered. Probably. He stuffed his last bite in, savouring the tangy goodness of the pickles before his eyes landed on the last outfit. A light grey 3 piece pinstripe suit with a crisp white shirt. He wondered for a moment if it were too much before snorting to himself, it was his engagement party. He dashed off to grab a shower before he got dressed.Sebestian, unknowingly, was having the same problem as his fiance. He grinned to himself as he thought the word, fiddling ab
8 weeks later…Dell rolled the scanner over her stomach, beaming with pride at the image on the screen, her baby! She watched as he moved around on the screen, now convinced that the gas she thought she had been feeling over the last few days was actually the baby moving as she felt it bubble up with every movement she saw him make.“He is adorable, I wish we had these scanners when I was pregnant,” Rose said, her magic gone and eyes glowing as she watched the baby moving around. “Look at his little hands and feet, maybe he will be a dancer,” she said with an awestruck smile.“How do you know though, Siso?” David asked. He was staring at the screen, trying to decern whether his sister prediction that Dell was pregnant with their son was correct. She was 16 weeks so he couldn't tell but his sister had insisted. “How do you know for sure, that he’s a boy?
Allen listened to the loud music booming through the cottage from where he hunched over the toilet. He wiped his mouth and summoned the mouthwash from the shelf, too exhausted to even stand up and retrieve it by hand. He swirled it around his mouth and spat it into the toilet, groaning at the thought of having to get up from the bathroom floor.He rubbed his hands over the bump under his green cashmere sweater, silently begging the twins to give him a day off. He reminded himself that he was almost at the end of his first trimester, 1 or 2 weeks and he would be over the morning, afternoon and evening sickness that was starting to take its toll. He looked up when the door opened, smiling tiredly up at his mate."I thought I'd find you in here. We can send everyone home if you want? If you're not up to it?" Sebestian asked, taking a seat on the floor and letting Allen lean into him. He wrapped his arms around his mate, looking down when he hea
10 years later…“Can you… believe we’re… doing this again… fuuuuck… so soon?” Sebestian growled, punctuating each word with a thrust. He pressed his lips to Allen knee where it was resting over his arm, letting his teeth graze over his skin. He gripped his mate’s hips harder when he heard the long drawn out moan Allen let out, tilting them higher off the bed before slamming back into his slick soaked asshole.“It was your idea, fuck, Sebestian!” Allen cried as his Alpha's cock grazed his prostate with the perfectly angled thrust of his hips. He gripped the bars of the headboard harder, his knuckle turning whiter by the second as his mate fucked into him. He groaned, throwing his sweaty leg over Sebestian shoulder when he continued to trail of kisses up his shin. “Fuck me harder, Sebestian, I need your knot” he whispered breathlessly. 
3 months later..."Tell them I miss them and that I'll see them very soon, I love you," Sebestian said into the phone, not wanting to hang up but getting the death glare from Dell. He smiled when Allen said it back, still getting that fluttery feeling in his stomach whenever he heard the words come from his mate's lips, he was sure he would still get that feeling in 100 years or 500 years whenever Allen said it back to him. He hung up the phone and turned on his bestfriend. "I'm coming, Dell, don't get your panties in a bunch" he muttered, shaking his head when David laughed at the glare she aimed at him. He scooped Amara up, needing baby cuddles, he had been away from his children for an entire night, the first since they had been born and he was missing them terribly."I swear, if we are late Jia will have my runes," Dell said with a grimace, tugging at the neckline of her dress, her fucking dress! She thought with a sad shake of her head. If anyone were to att
4 weeks later…“David… David, wake up” Dell whispered, shaking his arm to wake him. She glanced at the clock to see it was 4.30 in the morning. She felt awful waking him, they had only been asleep for 3 hours but something was finally happening. “David, wake up! I think it’s time” she whispered as loudly as possible without waking anyone else up. “I think I had one of those twinges Allen was talking about,” she said when his eyes slowly blinked open.“Really? Are you sure it wasn’t just gas?” David asked when her words worked their way through his muddy brain. He looked at the clock, holding back the groan that wanted to escape him, the twins had finally stopped crying around 1 o’clock. Even with Olivia and Lethabo staying and helping to lighten the load, neither of them had been able to sleep until his sister and her mate had managed to calm them d
2 weeks later…“FUCK shit shit shit fuuuuuk not now, please not now” David groaned as he clutched his stomach, the glass in his hand crashing to the floor. He had been feeling uncomfortable all day, which was nothing new, he was huge at 38 weeks but this was a whole new level of discomfort, he felt like he was being ripped in half without so much as a warning. His eyes darted around the apartment desperately. “Seriously, you wait until your mom is out of the country to decide you want to make an appearance,” he asked incredulously of his stomach, he knew in that moment that his children would be trouble from the moment they were lifted from his body to the moment they finished him off with their antics.“Think, David” he muttered at himself as he clutched the edge of the kitchen worktop. He had only wanted a drink when a pain in his stomach had taken him by surprise. He buried his head
6 weeks later…“Sebestian, I don’t know how much more I can take,” Allen said desperately, scrubbing his hand over his face, trying to rub some life into it. “Luna knows I love them but it never ends. I'm going to go mad, I need…” he trailed off, raising his hand when the triplets started screaming in their bouncers around his feet, raising the bottles he was holding in their mouths with his magic. They stopped screaming as the teats filled when the bottles rose to the correct angle.“I know, me too. Remember when we used to complain that they were taking to long to come?” Sebestian asked as he gathered the third load of diapers the babies had filled that morning along with their second change of clothes and the empty bottles that had built into a pile in the corner of the couch. “Remember when we used to wear clothes? Clothes that you could go outside in” he muttered misera
4 weeks later…Sebestian helped Allen up from his seat, his worry clear on his face at the wince on his mates face. “Please Allen, you don’t have to do this, we can postpone it,” he said, pleading with him, again. “Just until you are feeling better,” he said.“Sebestian, I’m not ill, it’s just a twinge, honestly I’m fine,” Allen said, leaning heavily on his desk as he tried to hide his breathlessness. “Besides, Claire and Justine deserve this, what she did was wrong. We can’t just pick and choose when we try a case. We have to be fair, the others won't trust us if we can’t guarantee their safety” he said, straightening up when the tightness in his stomach passed and he was able to breathe easier.“At the expense of your health?” Sebestian asked incredulously, starting to pace beside Allen desk. He had been
10 weeks later...Sebestian and Allen looked up when they heard noises coming from the hallway a split second before they heard Rose and Jordon bickering like a pair of five-year-olds. Sebestian was about to leave the pans and go and see to them when Rose came through the door, her arm linked with David, quickly followed by Jordon with his arm linked through Dell."I swear, this dinner had better be worth getting dressed for," Dell said with a scowl as she bulldozed her way into the kitchen and pulled a chair out for David, taking his hands and using her body as a counterweight for him to lower himself into a chair. "it smells amazing" she said, her bad mood disappearing and her eyes lighting up."Nice to see you too, Delly," Sebestian said drily as he returned to the pan he had been presiding over before they had arrived. "What are you two arguing about?" he asked Jordon and Rose as he started scooping the
