All Chapters of Pregnant With The Ex-Husband's Twins: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

The New York Undercity. Sector 7 (Subway Sewers).The air smelled of rust and despair. Rats scurried away as the former Royal Family trudged through ankle-deep water.Jackson carried Serenity in his arms. Her breathing was shallow. The alien shockwave had cracked two of her ribs and caused internal bleeding. Her skin was burning up."Dad, Mom is getting worse," Mia walked beside him, holding a glow-stick. "We need a Bio-Healer. Or a hospital.""No hospitals," Jackson rasped. "The Harvester will be watching the hospitals. We need to go to The Bazaar.""The Bazaar?" Alex asked, shivering in his torn hoodie."The black market," Kian adjusted the strap of his sniper rifle (which he managed to save). "Criminals, smugglers, and doctors who ask no questions. I know the way."They reached a heavy blast door painted with graffiti skulls. Two massive guards stood there, holding modified shotguns."Toll?" The guard grunted, blocking the path.Jackson stepped into the dim light. His tuxedo was sh

The Empire State Building. Lobby.The magnificent Art Deco lobby was empty. No tourists. No guards. Just a strange, humming silence."Something feels wrong," Alex tapped his watch. "The atmospheric pressure inside the building... it's spiking.""Elevators are offline," Jackson pressed the button. "We walk. 102 floors.""Serenity, can you make it?" Jackson turned to his wife."I’ll manage," Serenity tightened the bandage around her ribs. "Let's go."They stepped into the stairwell.THUD.As soon as the door closed behind them, Jackson’s knees buckled. It felt like a giant invisible hand had slammed onto his shoulders."Ugh!" Mia grunted, grabbing the handrail. "My armor... feels like it weighs a ton.""Gravity," Kael strained to stand upright. "He increased the gravity field. We weigh three times our normal weight.""He wants to crush us before we even reach him," Jackson forced himself to stand. His muscles screamed. "Keep moving. One step at a time."Floor 20.Sweat poured down their

The wind on top of the Empire State Building finally died down.The storm clouds parted, revealing a calm, starry night. The only sound was the heavy breathing of the Sterling family and the wailing of sirens from the streets far below."We need to go," Kael said, supporting a limping Aurora. "Before the authorities get here.""Too late," Alex pointed to the sky.Three NYPD helicopters and a black government chopper hovered into view, blinding them with spotlights."THIS IS THE FBI. DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEADS."The roof access door burst open. Two dozen tactical agents swarmed the deck, rifles aimed at Jackson and his children."On the ground! Now!" The lead Agent shouted.Mia reached for her batons, her eyes narrowing. Kian’s hand drifted to his knife."Stand down," Jackson ordered his children calmly.He didn't kneel. He didn't raise his hands.He wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve and walked towards the FBI Commander. He moved with the arrogance o

The West Wing Guest Suite. Noon.The room was filled with the smell of antiseptic."Ninety-eight... Ninety-nine..."Kael was doing one-armed push-ups on the floor. Sweat glistened on his back. A massive bandage covered his ribs where the Harvester's laser had grazed him."One hundred."He grunted, pushing himself up.Suddenly, an invisible force slammed him back down onto the mattress."Stay. Down."Aurora stood in the doorway. She was holding a tray with fresh bandages and water. Her violet eyes were glowing faintly."Princess," Kael tried to sit up, but the telekinetic weight on his chest pinned him. "I'm fine. The doctor said light exercise is good.""The doctor said if you tear your stitches, you will bleed out," Aurora walked over, setting the tray down. "And I don't want blood on my carpet."She released the pressure. Kael sat up, wincing."I can't just lie here," Kael looked at the window. "I need to check the perimeter. What if a second wave comes?""My father bought the satel

The Cliffs of Moher (or a generic jagged cliffside near Montbert). Midnight.Two engines screamed in the dark.Mia was riding her Ducati superbike, leaning dangerously low into the curve. Behind her, Kian was matching her speed on a modified interceptor bike.The road ended.Mia slammed the brakes, drifting sideways and coming to a stop inches from the cliff edge. Dust and gravel fell into the crashing waves hundreds of feet below.Kian pulled up beside her. He took off his helmet. His hair was messy, his eyes wild with adrenaline."You almost went over the edge," Kian shouted over the wind."Almost is the keyword!" Mia hopped off her bike, ripping her helmet off. Her blonde hair whipped around her face. She was breathless, eyes shining. "That was incredible. My heart is beating so fast.""Mine too," Kian walked towards her.He didn't hug her. He grabbed her arm and twisted her into a mock grappling hold."Reaction check," Kian challenged."Oh, you want to play?" Mia grinned.She coun
