Rains' P.O.V. After I open the door to let the doctor into our suite, Zion leads us to his office, where he walks us around to his chair. He sits down and pulls me onto his lap as the doctor takes a seat in the chair across the desk from us. He congratulates me, making me realize I'm still wearing my crown. "Am I supposed to wear this all the time?" I ask Zion, making him laugh. "Only for formal events, my love," He says as he removes the crown from my head. "Oh, thank the Goddess. It's beautiful but so heavy." I say with a giggle. He smiles at me before turning to face the doctor. "So, Doctor, what seems to be the problem with my mate?" He asks Doctor Jameson. I squeeze Zions' hand as I place my other hand on my stomach, feeling nauseous again. The doctor looks tense but isn't giving anything away. I guess his calmness helps him be such a good doctor, but it's not helping me relax at the moment. "Well, after checking and rechecking
Zions' P.O.V. After Rain announced our pregnancy to our crew by saying it was morning sickness, the ladies got it automatically, while the guys were confused. Ryker thought their confusion was hysterical. I plainly explained that we were pregnant to the guys, and they finally got it. Unfortunately, we hadn't thought about how Odett would feel about it. "What's wrong, sweetie?" I ask her as I pick her up, and we sit on the couch. "Does this mean you'll send me back to the orphanage now that y'all have your own baby?" She says, almost whispering. I feel like an absolute failure for not thinking about how she would feel and quickly think of what to say to make her understand that she's ours. "No! You are our child. The new pup won't change that you are part of our family. We're just giving you a sibling." I try to explain. "You were the one who made me a mother and Zion, a father, regardless of whether you are our biological child or n
Rains' P.O.V. After the Doctor explains that we're expecting twins, he points out the two beans on the screen. He tells us he can give us pictures of the sonogram and a CD containing a video of the sonogram with the audio of the heartbeats. I chose to get both, thinking it would be a cute idea to announce our pregnancy by putting it on the projector we will use to play Shrek for our movie night. Doctor Jameson says he will be back with both in a minute before walking out the door, leaving Zion and me in the room alone. He helps me sit up on the edge of the hospital bed, and I smile at him. "I think we should make the announcement tonight," I say, making him smile. "How would you like to do it?" He asks. "I was thinking we use the projector. We can play the CD before the movie." I say. "Maybe we should play it after the movie so we don't have people interrupting us during the movie." He tells me."I agree. That sounds like a good id
Zions' P.O.V. After our announcement, people surrounded us, offering their congratulations and expressing their happiness for us. In the middle of thanking everyone, I look over, noticing Rain has become quiet and looks worried. I smile and finish thanking everyone on her behalf until everyone starts to dissipate. "Are you okay, my love?" I ask Rain. "Yes, Dosha has been asleep since the buffet, and I'm worried about her. She says she was tired." She answers, and I begin to worry. "Do we need to call the Doctor?" I ask. "I'm not in any pain, so I think it'll be okay to wait until the morning to call him," She says, and I nod in understanding. "In that case, I think it's time for bed," I say, pointing at Jessica, now holding a sleeping Odett in her arms. "I guess all the excitement has finally gotten to her." "I know how she feels." She says. I smile, lifting her in my arms, making her giggle, and carry her to our suite as she
Rains' P.O.V. After my small emotional breakdown and Stephanie's arrival to get Odett for their busy day, we discovered my new hybrid ability to hear better than others when I heard Stephanie at our door before she knocked. Orian suggests that I start writing them down, and I have to admit that it's probably a good idea because it's starting to get slightly overwhelming with all the changes that have been happening in my life in such a short time. Stephanie and Odett walk into the living room, dressed and ready for their busy day. "Hey, sweetie. Are you excited for your day with Stephanie?" Zion asks her as he picks her up. "Yes, sir. Ms.Stephanie said we're going to the park." She says, full of excitement. "Make sure you stay with her and listen to everything she tells you, okay?" I say before we give her a kiss. I then turn to Stephanie. "Evan will be waiting downstairs for y'all." "I will, Mamma." She says after Zion p
Zions' P.O.V. As Rain and Jessica look around her new office, I link Ms.Blanch, asking her to get someone to bring their planning folders and any more papers they may need to her office. She says she will get one of the new assistants that Jessica and Rain hired to bring everything over for me. I close the link after thanking her and then turn my attention to my mate and her sister. "Ms.Blanch will have one of the new assistants bring the planning folders and everything needed to finalize the plans. They should be here soon." I tell her. "That's great. Thank you." She says with a smile, walking around her desk and sitting down in her new chair. "You look comfortable," I say with a laugh. "Well, what did you expect? You did an amazing job with everything." She replies with a giggle. "Thank you for the high praise, my Queen," I say. "We'll let y'all get settled in while Orian and I get some work done in my office. We'll come to get y'a
Rains' P.O.V. After Zion and Orian leave my new office, Jess and I sit around talking and looking around while we wait for the folders to finish the plans for the orphanage to arrive. Ten minutes later, Amiliea, the new assistant Jess hired to help Ms.Blanch around the orphanage, knocked on the door. Jess lets her in, and she greets us with a smile. I ask her how everything is going in her new position. "It's great. The kids are all so adorable and so much fun to be around. I've even decided to adopt one of the teens." She says with a huge grin. "That's great!" Jess and I say in unison, overjoyed by her news. "Tell us about them," Jess says. "Her name is Isha. She's fifteen and full of life." Amiliea says with excitement. "Do you need any help with anything for the new addition to your family?" I ask her. "No, but thank you for asking, my Queen. My mate and I have everything almost set up. We haven't told Isha about the adoption yet
Zions' P.O.V. As Christian and I discuss how things will work while we find a replacement for the Alpha position, I hear Rain and Jessica giggling about something, but before I can ask what they're planning, Orian walks back into the office with a smile. "Looks like Nick might have to skip the council meeting." He says with a laugh. "I kinda figured that. Did Mia introduce him to Annie?" I asked Orian. "Yup, then she took him to her room." He answers with a sly smile making me laugh. "Who is Annie?" Christian asks us. "She is Mias' daughter." Orian answers and Christian nods his head in understanding. "The meeting is about to start. Annie says she'll have snacks and drinks ready in the meeting room." Orian says. *********************************** Rains' P.O.V. We make our way out of the office and down the hall into a big room with a large table
