Dad’s phone rang and I listened as he answered it. It was late, but it was normal for him to get a call from the station at night. I listened as he spoke. “Okay, right now? She is still up and that’s not a problem.”

I looked at Uncle Darren, silently asking what it was about but he shrugged.

“Alright, we will be outside waiting.” He paused. “What the fuck did you just say?”

My eyes grew big and so did Uncle Darren's.

Dad laughed. “Jesus, are you sure? How the hell did that happen?” Dad looked at me and I saw the craziest smile I ever saw. “You should have called to warn us. This is amazing, yes, I’m taking her outside right now.”

Creed

I couldn’t sit still as we turned into my driveway. Through the trees I could see the lights from our home, and I knew she was still awake. Axton just spoke with Tanner and asked him to take Morgan outside.

When Magnus told me she was pregnant, I almost killed him. But he explained everything and that was when I learned it was twins and they were mine. I was confused because she said she had her period before I left. They said she was even more beautiful pregnant, and I tried to imagine it but couldn’t.

In front of us was three side by sides and behind us was seven more. I was being escorted home by my brothers and sisters. Axton got them all up from their beds and decided to plan some kind of bullshit. Morgan didn’t know everything that happened yet. She didn’t know that when I was being transported one of my fellow soldiers died right next to me. She didn’t know that when I was captured the first time some asshole took my clothes and dog tags to try and infiltrate an American garrison to blow it sky high. That meant soldiers, women, and children. They weren’t expecting their own team to attack the transport vehicle. She didn’t know my brothers and sister came to get me and didn’t tell her because they didn’t want to get her hopes up. She also didn’t know I was coming home because we were still dark until we landed on American soil, which was the airstrip at Creed’s Lake. We were dark because there was still a terrorist threat and that went for all Military personnel going in or out of Syria.

When I was in and out of consciousness, I dreamed of my father. He told me I had the fight of my life ahead of me. That I had to hold on to my love for Morgan and she would be my strength. He also said he was proud of what I was doing with the Creed name. He also hoped I found peace with my mother, because she wouldn’t be around long. I was doing the right thing for the brothers I didn’t know, and he was with Elizabeth where he finally found peace.

When I woke, I was nude and chained down to a concrete block, outside for everyone to see. I was beat and tortured every damn day for intel, but I knew they would kill me the moment I said a thing. I had to give Axton time. I knew he would come for us, he always did and always would.

I was injured, but not nearly as bad as the sack of shit that stole my fatigues. I had broken ribs, a broken arm, and I had a concussion along with some surface injuries that would definitely scar, but I could live with that if it meant I got to hold my girls again.

I loved them so damn much that I credit them for keeping me alive. I had every intention of scooping Morgan up and taking her to the courthouse and marrying the hell out of her.

The closer we got to our home, the more I realized I was about to be a dad to three kids. Fucking identical twins!

“The fucking idiot told her she just needed to take a massive shit!” Axton was laughing as he drove, but everything he said went in one ear and out the other. I didn’t hear one damn thing he said as my eyes were peeled on the house as it came closer.

I took what I had for her from the safe back at the command center. I was squeezing it in my hand tighter as we got closer.

Morgan

Whatever was happening wasn’t normal. I was scared and my dad wouldn’t tell me what was happening. All he said was that he got a call from the command center that said to expect the Originals home and to stay awake. Then he got another call, but he wouldn’t tell me about that one.

I watched as a line of side by sides drove closer and stopped. I saw Josh, and almost raced over to him but he held his hand up to stop me and my dad caught my arm.

I watched as one member after another went to one particular side by side, then began lining up, two rows facing each other. The line went straight out then curved as it came closer to me. My heart was racing because they all stood at attention and saluted. I couldn’t see what was happening, until I noticed someone was walking between them and toward me.

A strange feeling came over me and my legs began feeling weak. My dad and Uncle Darren tried to hold me up, but I guess I was too much of a fat ass for them, so they gently allowed me to sit on the ground. The blanket I had wrapped around me fell off as soon as he came into view. Those beautiful eyes met mine and I couldn’t breathe. My uncle stood at attention and my beautiful man stopped in front of him as my uncle showed the Marine he was, and saluted him. Creed saluted him back, then patted his shoulder before slowly kneeling down on one knee.

“Breathe.” He said as one lone tear fell down his cheek. I reached for him as I took in a breath finally. He was injured butmanaged to hold me in his one good arm. “I could never let go of you, Morgan. You kept me alive over there.” He cried as he finally lifted his head to look at me.

The sexiest damn smile broke through his tears as he placed his hand on my belly. “What do we have here?” He studied my eyes, and I broke down into the ugliest sob I ever cried. His good hand cupped my face. “I am so damn proud of you, Morgan. I’m dying to see Addie, but I just need to look at you for a moment.” He shook his head. “I didn’t think it was possible when they said you were even more beautiful pregnant with my babies, but my God, you’re taking my breath away.” He leaned in and kissed my tears, then his lips met mine and I melted into him. Everyone around us clapped and yelled, “Hooah!”

He chuckled against my lips then opened mine with his to kiss me deeper as his tongue swept against mine. When he pulled back, he rested his head against mine. “You know what this means, right?” He asked and I nodded.

He looked straight into my eyes as he slipped a ring on my finger.

“I’m already yours.” I whispered and again everyone yelled out, “Hooah!”

Never Leaving You

Creed

It took the Hans and Franz duo to lift my pregnant fiancé to her feet. Holy shit she was huge, but more beautiful than ever. I had to kiss her one more time before we went inside. There were moments I thought I’d never walk through that door again, but I did, and it felt like a dream.

I heard paws tapping on the floor and suddenly a young German Shepherd came running. I started laughing but Morgan crossed her arms and glared at me. “Hey there sweet girl.” I knelt down and gave her a good pet. The poor girl had little bows stuck all over her fur.
