“Doctor, why does that look so…” I began, my heart thudding.
“Fuck…” Damon whistled.
“Luna… Alpha, as you can see, you aren’t having just one pup. Congratulations, you are having quintuplets! This is a miracle!” She exclaimed, a huge smile on her face.
My heart plummeted as I stared at the screen before me. Quintuplets….
“Five pups, Alpha,” she said, staring at Liam, who was frozen, his hand holding mine, but he hadn’t reacted.
“Liam?” I whispered, feeling far too stunned to wrap my head around it.
He still didn’t reply, his face pale, his deep blue eyes wide as he stared ahead, completely still, far too shocked at the news that he was soon to be a father of five. And then, the next thing I knew, my six-foot-four handsome giant crashed to the floor.
My Alpha had fainted.
Goddess.
Liam
Two hours hadpassed, and I was still stunned. I vaguely heard Damon tell the doctor not to pass the news on to anyone, that Raven and I would do that ourselves. I couldn’t believe I fucking fainted… but it still couldn’t be real, right? Five pups?
Goddess.
“Are you okay?” Raven asked me, cupping my face as I sat on the hospital bed. The sparks from her touch rippled through me. I closed my eyes, pulling her between my legs and resting my head against her breasts for a moment.
“Yeah… fuck, I mean, I should be asking you that.” I looked up at her, concerned, my eyes skipping over her tiny frame; how the fuck was that even going to work?
I ran my hands down her waist. Despite the shock, there was a spark of excitement inside of me. Raven and I were actually having a pup together. Scratch that –pups. I looked up into her gorgeous eyes, raking my fingers through her hair.
“How the hell are you going to carry five?” I asked, tugging her close and kissing her softly.
“I’m sure I’m capable. I told you; I might be small, but I’m tough,” Raven said, smiling at me. “I guess... we’re going to be parents pretty soon, huh…?”
“Yeah… soon.” I pulled her onto my lap, wrapping my arms around her tightly. “Are you really okay?” She raised an eyebrow.
“I am. I’m shocked… but I’m more worried about you,” she replied, caressing my jaw. I sighed.
“One kid is hard, five…. but we’ll manage somehow.”
“We will!” She replied confidently. “So, how about we go and share the news with your family? And I want to tell Taylor, too.”
I nodded, kissing her again. Although she seemed shocked, the excitement was there. Even though I was a mess of emotions about having children, I still could imagine having our pups in my arms. It didn’t sound too bad…
“What is it?” Mom asked, looking concerned.
Her gaze flitted between us both as she stood up from where she had been sitting, ruffling her hair. We had gone straight to their home from the hospital to break the news.
“We have a gift for you,” Raven proclaimed, holding out the envelope with the scan image inside.
“A gift?” Mom asked, taking it and about to open it when Raven waved her hand, stopping her.
“Open it together.”
“Yeah, a gift. Good luck,” I added jokingly. I hoped they were ready for grandparents’ duties…
They exchanged looks before Azura came running over.
“Is it a pwesent for me too, Waven?” She asked as Dad lifted her onto his lap, kissing her forehead.
