POV Gianna:“Alright ladies and gentlemen, please clear the dance floor for our father daughter dance.” The DJ says.I make my way to the dance floor and meet my dad in the middle. “daddy” by Beyonce comes on and my eyes start to glisten. My dad was the first man I ever loved. He taught me how to be a leader, he showed me what a good man should be and to never accept anything less. My dad showed me the love a man should give to a woman. My father has been extraordinary to me, I can proudly say with total conviction, that he is more than just being my father. He is my muse, my personal superhero, and my friend. The song is just about to end, and I see my mom bring Onyx to Rasheed. A smile tugs at my face, the song ends and “Stuntin’ like my daddy” by Birdman and lil Wayne comes on. Rasheed and Onyx joined us, and all the other fathers come on the dance floor with their kids.The song ends and we are all making our way to our seats. The DJ will now have the mother son dance. They decide
POV Gianna:It’s early August and my parents are coming to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Things have been pretty good around here. I have been quite tired lately, but I think that is from doing a lot of planning, being a mom and school. On top of that I had a huge order last week for pack members wedding and I had to make my mom’s birthday cake. She loves her a Cleveland cassata cake. I haven’t been taking too many orders myself, I have been delegating a lot of the orders, which has helped me a lot.“G, mom and dad have entered the grounds.” Aaron mind links me.“Thanks, I’ll head down and greet them. You coming to see them and the kids?” I ask.“Nah I’m pretty busy here at the moment, but I said hi when they pulled up.” He says.I closed our link and get ready to mind link Rasheed when a wave of nausea hits me. I rush to the bathroom and vomit my guts out. I feel warm hands circling on my back and Rasheed’s scent hits me.“Hey baby, are you ok?” Rasheed asks with a bit of nervousness.
POV Rasheed:What is taking this woman so long to meet me at the hospital, she said she was on her way. I’m just going to meet her halfway and we can walk to the hospital together.“I’ll be right back with the Queen; she seems to get distracted as of lately.” I tell a doctor.“Rasheed… I am….” Gianna’s anxiously mind links me but is broken.“G… Gia…Gianna, you better answer me what is wrong?” I try to mind link her back, but I get no response.I rush to her office and find her just about to hit the floor.“I got you beautiful. I got you baby!” I tell her.I take off rushing to the hospital not caring who I bump into on the way there. We arrive at the hospital, and they get her into a room and start running some tests on her immediately. I am an utter mess. I see Luna Belle and Alpha Anton rush in and look around to see where they have taken their daughter. I wave them over and they come rushing to my side.“Is the baby, okay? What about Gianna? How’s my baby girl? Oh, Anton why does t
POV Gianna:It’s been a long four and a half months, I tell you. Rasheed has not let me do anything without someone helping or being with me. It has gotten drastically worse since it is closer to my due date. I feel like I am in a prison thanks to him.Today is my baby shower and I was so busy I did not have time to plan it. Sierra, Storm, my mom, and my mother-in-law took on that duty. I am so happy my mother and mother-in-law are getting along, both are phenomenal Queens, I was hoping they would not butt heads, but they seem to be the best of friends. They talk on the phone more than I do with either of them.“What’s wrong? Are the twins coming? Is someone bothering you?” Rasheed pops into my head.“I am fine, now calm down. Go have a drink or something, you need to relax. I would of mind linked you if something was wrong.” I mind link him back.I close the link and put my walls up so no one can mind link me. I just need a few minutes of me time, just to have some sanity.“Um… Queen
POV Gianna:“What was that?” Rasheed asks.“I have no idea, let’s take a shower and I’ll call my mom over when we are done.” I say.We showered and I called my mom into my office to find out what had just happened. While waiting for my mom Sierra mind links me telling me the baby shower starts in a few minutes.“Sweetheart what seems to be the problem? Your baby shower is starting soon. This couldn’t have waited until after.” She speaks before looking at me.She sees the look on our faces, and she instantly freezes.“What’s wrong with the twins, what is going on? Is everyone okay?” She goes on alert.“Everything is fine now….” I say.“What do you mean now?” She questions.“Well, we were in Rasheed’s office after doing some extracurricular activities, and when we finished, we talked about taking a shower and then me going to the baby shower. Then we both felt tingly, and we were in our room on our bed.” I stammer out.“Oh, for goddess sakes sweetheart you just popped.” My mom laughs.“
POV Gianna:The look of pure fear crosses Alex’s face as we make eye contact. I smile and grab Onyx and strap him in his seat. I grab a towel from my go bag and set it in the front seat when a contraction hits. I grab my stomach and hunch over in pain, trying to take in deep breaths.“Please mind link Rasheed, I am in too much pain to concentrate on the mind link right now Alex” I grunt out.“Already done my Queen, he is already at the hospital waiting for us and he has the room already being prepared for you.” Alex says.I am finally able to get into the car, but the contractions are so close, I don’t know if I am going to make it. I feel an urge to push, and I am trying my best to stop that urge.“Ahhhh fuck, this hurts so damn bad” I scream.I hear giggles from the back seat and remember that Onyx is with us.“Oh Munchkin, mommy is sorry for using bad words. I am just hurting.” I tell him.“I know mommy my brother and sister are coming, but you will be okay, and we will make it. I
POV Gianna:It’s been two months since the twins were born and I am constantly tired. My mom and Kay went back to their homes a few days ago and reality is hitting me. I am going to be all alone with three kids in a few days for a full week. Rasheed has to go on a business trip and only taking a few warriors. It shouldn’t be too bad, but I will miss him dearly. Especially, since he is such a big help with all the kids. Savvy already has her daddy wrapped around her finger.“Hey beautiful come to bed, you have been in the office all day and the kids miss you.” Rasheed mind links me.I have decided to stop school and just focus on the pack and family. I did not think life would be so tough. Being a new mom has been a huge struggle with trying to lead. I try not to depend on the nannies too much, although they are helpful. I work two full days a week in my office, so I don’t fall behind. I pump and spend time with the kids every two hours for thirty minutes.I feel like the life is being
POV Rasheed:If this trip wasn’t so important, I would cancel it. Seeing my beautiful wife so stressed out hurts my soul. I am only taking warriors with me, so Gianna has all the help she needs. She has been trying to be super woman and for the most part she is succeeding. She just needs to find a way to ask for help. Goddess knows my wife is head strong and wants to do it all. I even fight with her from time to time about our positions, but that’s the Alpha’s in us.Our warriors and our high-ranking wolves are waiting for us outside and this is the part I hate the most. Saying goodbye to my beautiful family. Gianna of course has the twins in her arms and Onyx is holding onto her leg. My children love their mother. I can see the sadness in Gianna’s eyes, but it is gone in the next second.“My beautiful wife, I will be home soon. Take care of our wonderful children.”“I will. I love you!” Gianna says.I give Savanna and Jehziel a kiss and then bend down to Onyx and give him one as well
