Chapter 661
“I think you’ll find giving us three pups will wear you out a bit.” Oliver says sitting next to me gently tilting his pile of blankets.
The tiniest most precious face I have ever seen peeks out. She’s barely the size of his forearm, but looks completely at home snuggled into him. I look at Oliver’s face as he studies the tiny girl in his arms. He’s already in love. I look at Cam and Kota and they have the same wistful look.
My girls. They’re here and I’m here. We’re all safe and…and…here. I feel the tears start to fall immediately. Why was this so hard? Why was there no one around for my mom?
“Hey, Love. Don’t cry. You were amazing. We on the other hand were a mess. Your dad, Kyle, Brett, Mateo, Sam and Xander had to remove us. Alpha Reggie had to eventually submit us in the other room.” My hand flew to my mouth. “No! Why? What happened?”
“It was every sh*tty thing that we were told to expect, but couldn’t handle, Smalls.” Kota sat on my other side with his bundle. “When you have recovered,” He put his hand up, “Fully recovered, we will tell you all about it. It’s too soon for me to talk about it. My wolf just about tore through the wall over there and he is not in a hurry to rehash that memory. It’s only been a few days.”
“Days? Why is it always days? I hate waking up in the hospital.” I grumble and then look up sharply. “If I’ve been out for days, who’s been taking care of the girls? Feeding them?”
“We all have. We are not as inept at this whole thing as we thought. The healers have been pumping for you and the girls eat like their mother So that’s basically all they do when they aren’t sleeping.” Dakota winks at me. I wish I could lift my foot to kick him, but those muscles are not
functioning right now.
I look around the room as a distraction. It’s kind of a disaster, but also huge. “We’re in the hospital?” I can’t help but question. I don’t remember this room at all.
“After the situation with dad,” Cam
looks at me seriously, “And then
talking to Alpha Reggie and Gentry about you giving birth we added annex so we could all fit
comfortably. We needed to be here to help you heal and mom said to keep the girls close too.”
I look around again. “But there aren’t any cribs for them.” There’s a changing table that seems to be fully stocked on one wall with a door that must go to the bathroom, based on the towels I can see hanging. The opposite wall has a long counter with a sink and cabinets above and below. A drying rack full of bottles can be seen. I am sitting in the middle of a standard hospital bed, but next to it is a massive bed that is rumpled and unmade.
“Do you think we could put them down for more than a few minutes? It’s hard just handing them over to Sierra and Jena when they stop by.” Dakota laughs at himself.
“I thought I was possessive over you. This is so much more intense, Bitty. They sleep with us, everynight.”
“That will be an interesting habit to break once I am all healed up.” I laugh as I watch them process. “I mean, based on the way I feel right now, it’s going to be a little while, but still…”
