It seemed like days before Nix finally was able to lay back on the now clean sheets, her eyes closing as she finally finished bringing twin pups, a male and female into the world. The whole process had taken a good couple of hours as she went through labour before the twins decided to finally come into the world. The smile on her face could not be wiped away right now as she lay against the pillows propped up on the headboard of her bed. The twins were being washed and wrapped while she changed into a fresh night gown. Getting up had been hard but she wasn’t going to be lying in the clothing she had just given birth in. Not when there was family and people waiting to greet the two new pups to this world.
Keeping her eyes closed for a moment, Nix tried to get her strength back knowing it would be a good couple more hours before anyone left and she needed to be awake. Her mind was focused on the twins right now. Granted during the labour she had thoughts of other things running through her mind. Since before her pregnancy things with her husband Gabe had not been great. However, her she loved the man and felt that she could give him another chance. Over the whole of her pregnancy she hadn’t seen the man at all nor had she heard any words from him aside from the confession about his affaire. Nix loved both her husband’s and she wanted nothing more than for Gabe to be there, now of all time.
In her mind, she had given Gabe one last chance. If he was not there for the birth of their pups, she was going to be done with him forever. It pained her to even think about making that decision but it had to be done. She just hoped to Luna that he walked through that door when she finally let her family in to see the twins. Swallowing hard, her frown was quickly wiped off her face when one of the servants handed her Nola, all clean and warm now. She smiled down at the pup and kissed her forehead waiting for Knox to be handed to her. Once he was finally settled in her arms, Nix nodded for them to let her family in hoping both her husband’s would be there waiting.

Minutes turned into hours, and the hours turned into what seemed like days and then weeks as he paced outside the room Nix was in. His inner-wolf was bristling and itching to get out and run into help Nix but he was informed that it wasn’t normal for the men to stay in the room as their mate gave birth. He was stressed about whether his brother would show up after being gone for nearly ten months, he was worried that there was going to be a complication with the birth and he’d lose someone he cared about, and he was worried that Nix wouldn’t want him around. The last worry was ridiculous but he was going to have to get used to it now that he was going to be a father.
Drake had been out doing some last minute shopping for the nursery when he got the call that Nix was in labor. Everything they had bought was gender neutral since they had no idea what they were having, but he insisted on getting a stuffed animal for both of the pups. It was ironic since they were wolves too but he thought it was a smart idea. As soon as he got the call he rushed to the register, paid and high-tailed it back to her father’s estate where they were visiting. That was when he started to freak out, he could hear Nix from outside but the guards blocked him every time he tried to open the door to go to her side.
Eventually the never-ending day ended when the doors opened and everyone was informed that they could go in to see Nix and the pups. Drake was thrilled to go in the room and it seemed his excitement caused their family and friends to send him in by himself for a bit. He was also nervous, he never knew what he would do when the day came to actually hold the pups and he feared that he’d drop one-which he wouldn’t do. All Drake did was hold the stuffed giraffe and the stuffed elephant in his hands as he took a deep breath and walked into the room.
The first thing he saw was his beautiful mate, then the two bundles of joy in her arms. Quickly he walked over and took a seat next to her on the bed unsure of what to do and say so he just observed. One of the bundles was a blue blanket, a son. He lit up knowing that he would have a son to spend time with, then he looked at the other and noticed a pinkish color-a girl- and his heart melted.

During her pregnancy there had been a few names she and Drake had come up with for their pups. However, since they both decided that they wanted the sex of the pups to be a surprise, they had come up with four names. Two boy and two girls and from those they would decided once the pups were born. It was a good idea, but at times Nix wasn’t too fond of having to buy gender neutral things. She liked colour and some of things that were supposed to be for a specific gender she liked either way. It had been hard to try and keep it to neutral things. Now that the pups were born, it would be far easier for her to spoil them with adorable things. Not really being able to get up out of her bed and walk around too much, Nix decided that for now, the twins would be wrapped up in cozy blankets before she took to changing them into one of the cute outfits she had received.
Until then, she was going to rely on the colour blue and pink blanket they were wrapped in to tell the two apart. Granted she could already tell who Knox was with how much he had been fussing for Kaitlin while she cleaned him. It had caused the young lycan to laugh, simply content about having these two in her life now. Even with how her marriage was falling apart, Nix was grateful to have the twins now. Both her mates could leave her, and she would have something to at least push forward for. Granted it would hurt if both of them decided they no longer wanted to be around her.
Still looking down at the two bundles in her arms, Nix’s attention was drawn to the door when her mates scent flooded the room telling her he was finally here. A radiant smile appeared on her face as she waited for him to sit beside her. “There’s someone here who wants to meet you.” she told him shifting her body towards Drake. Carefully, she set Nola into Drakes arm giving him one pup at a time. “Nola meet you daddy.” she told the pup knowing she wouldn’t really understand but figured giving her a familiar smell would help her adjust. Shifting Knox around, she let Drake have his moment with their daughter before putting Knox in his other arm. “Drake meet your son Knox..” she added still smiling with joy at the two bundles. Part of her regretted not having kids earlier they were just so precious.

This day, oh what a glorious day it was. Arawn could barely contain the happy smile that spread across this thin lips. It had been long coming, but how could one prepare for becoming a grandfather? When Nix had announced that she was with child, the normally controlled lord had been over the moon so to speak.
He had not felt this way since the birth of his own child, all those years ago. His feet were restless and he paced around his small study, waiting for the news of the arrival of his grandchildren. This was something he had only once gone through, however it was worse the second time around. Time seemed to slow to a snails pace, his mind wandered to his son in law, both of them. Would they show? Drake certainly would but would Gabriel?
This worried the anxious lord. If he did then the marriage might survive but if not, then all hell would break loose. Arawn hoped that this worked out, he desired happiness for his only child. She deserved only the best.
Soon a maid burst into his study, pushing his chair back he rose to his feet. "Mi'lord you are a grandfather, to two healthy pups" Joy spilled from every pore. This was it, no longer would he hold back. Bursting into a run, he left his study and the maid smiling in the door way.

Drake was in awe as he saw the two bundles of joy, there was good chance that they were both his, and even if his idiot brother was their biological father he was still their father, they were his pups. When Nix placed Nola in his arms he grinned and held her close, he knew right then that she was going to be the one that he would have a problem disciplining. He father had always told him that he was glad that he didn’t have a daughter because she’d have him wrapped around his finger, well now Drake was able to experience that. He enjoyed the little time he had with Nola before Nix set their son in his other arm. Knox was going to be fun to raise, they would both get away with things just as long as they gave Nix an award winning pout that she wouldn’t be able to resist. Then again it would also get them into a ton of trouble.
Holding both the babies made everything real for him. He had children, he was finally a parent and he didn’t have to force Nix into it either. It was perfect and the smile on his face showed how he felt. “Nix they’re absolutely beautiful! We couldn’t have done any better,” he teased before looking over at the door as a familiar scent filled the room. Arawn looked to be just as worried as Drake had been previously, which made sense seeing as he had lost his wife during childbirth.
“Arawn, meet Nola and Knox,” he said while standing up and walking over to where his father-in-law was. He was hoping that he wouldn’t have to gesture for the older man to take one of the infants but he knew that it wasn’t likely. Arawn had been just as excited about the pups as he had.

Knowing that her babies were in a good hands with their father, Nix visibly relaxed letting her body sink into the soft mattress of the bed. She could not wait until it was okay for her to fall asleep and just let loose after such a long several hours. Despite wanting to sleep, the young woman didn’t want to miss a moment of her pup’s lives either. It was weird to think like that even if she knew they had many years under their belts. Watching Drake with the twins only made her smile grow wider. She was glad she had finally given in to having kids. All these years without them seemed wasted now as she watched the two blink and scrunch their noses as they took everything in. Not only that but they seemed quite happy in their fathers arms. There was no doubt in her mind who’s the twins were but right now she was not going to be telling anyone. The moment she saw them she could already pick out which of her two husbands she saw in them. After so many years it wasn’t hard to figure out given how often she had spend in one of their arms tracing their features.
Hearing Drake telling her that the twins were beautiful and that they couldn’t have done a better job, Nix merely nodded leaning back against the pillows. “We did didn’t we.” she told him smiling as her hand fell lightly on his thigh seeing as his arms were full currently. Not much else could be said because at that moment her father’s scent filled the room and she looked up smiling at him. “Father…meet your grandpups.” she told him smiling and watching as Drake took his kids over to her father. Nix on the other hand started relaxing more figuring now was going to be the time when everyone would come in to see them. Despite wanting to keep them close to her as much as possible, the young woman knew they were in good hands with her husband and father around. Not having them as close as they had been for the last couple of months were going to be hard, but Nix new it was only a matter of time before she adjusted. Even if sleep was starting to creep up on her slowly, the young woman had not taken her eyes off her pups despite them being exchanged from one person to the next.
