Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 200. The twins
Colby A few months has passed since we learned Lia was pregnant and it was crazy how close we were getting to her giving birth. The Werewolf pregnancies didn’t last as long so she was in her six month, ready to give birth any day now. There was a set date the doctor had marked, but they could always come early.Or late.When the doctors said they came late she was very angry. She glared at every one of us.I was halfway through a sandwich when I heard Lia gasp from the couch.Rain shot up like he'd been electrocuted. "What was that?! Was that a contraction?! Was that a baby contraction?!"Lia winced, gripping the edge of the couch. "I don't know! Maybe? It hurts!"Matt practically fell off the armchair. "Define 'hurts'! Like normal hurts? Like stubbing your toe hurts? Or like—' call an ambulance' hurts?!"Rain was already pacing in wild circles. "Oh god. Oh god. We’re not ready. We’re not ready! We don’t have the bags packed, we don’t have a route to the hospital mapped out, we don’t

MattI sat on the edge of the stupid plastic chair, my head in my hands.How had this happened? We were acting like assholes and worrying for nothing. It seemed truly fitting that nothing ended up being wrong, and who was to blame? Well, all of us.I couldn’t even blame it on Rain for jumping to conclusions because we all were acting like it."False labor," I muttered, feeling like the biggest idiot on the planet. "We nearly broke land-speed records getting here for false labor."Or as they were technically called Braxton-Hicks contractions. When we were going to the classes with Lia, we just assumed that labor was going to be the finale. A few hours later we would be holding the twins in our arms.Except, we had been fooled by these false contractions. Lia seemed to be handling it well. I think I was the one who mostly felt like an idiot. What happened when she gave birth? I needed to make sure I had my wits about me and didn’t allow myself to get overwhelmed or worried.Rain patted

LiaI was a week overdue.Yes, a week.It didn’t seem real.My mates didn’t want to leave me, but they needed to go to work and do what they had to do. I didn’t want to prevent them from going to work or keeping the household functional.Besides, Simone was home and right next door. She was set to come over within thirty minutes and keep me company, so it wasn’t like I was going to be alone.Shifting on the couch, I glared at my swollen stomach.“Gemma, Rowan—you two need to get the hell out of here.”We were also having a boy and a girl. The five of us went to the doctor and got the results of the scan—we were having a girl and a boy. It felt good to know that we were having one of each.Perhaps one day we will have more of the same gender.But I wasn’t going to think of any more kids right now. The two kids we were having now were the only ones I wanted to think about. They were going to be enough of a handful for the five of us to handle.I rested my head against the back of the co

LiaThe lunch I packed for myself remained mostly untouched. I picked up part of the sandwich, took a bite, and struggled to swallow. It felt like ash in my mouth, making me want to spit it out.Folded and shoved into my pocket was the invitation for my coming-of-age ceremony that was delivered to me two weeks ago. With trembling hands, I pulled it out and read it word by word.Official InvitationDear Lia Brown,It is with boundless joy and honor that we invite you to attend your Coming-of-Age Ceremony, a momentous occasion marking this significant milestone in your life. This celebration is a testament to your growth, achievements, and the exciting future that lies ahead.Event Details:· Date: Monday, the 6th of October· Time: 9:00 AMWe encourage you to arrive promptly at the clinic to ensure the smooth progression of the event and to fully immerse yourself in the process.

LiaWhen I came home I was looking forward to being in a quiet house where I could clear my thoughts. But the moment I walked through the door I heard multiple, loud voices coming from the kitchen, the spot my brother and his friends liked to haunt with their imposing presence.Taking a shaky breath, I closed the door as quietly as I could behind me, but not quite enough. Michael, my brother, popped his head into the room, a smirk playing on his lips.“Trying to sneak away without saying hello, little sister?”“I live with you. Why do I have to say hello?” I countered.A deeper voice chuckled, and Colby came to stand on the left side of Michael. He was a little taller than Michael who was already six feet so that was saying something. Colby’s piercing jade green eyes locked onto my tense form, pearly white tease exposed as he smirked.“Lia are you going to go all the way upstairs without saying hello?” he asked.Rain popped up on the other side of Michael. He was the same height as my

LiaWhen I was called to the administrative office the next day, I was a bundle of nerves. I didn’t understand why they called me here. Wasn’t it enough that I handed in the form?With a shaky sigh, I tucked a blonde lock behind my ear. My blue eyes darted around the room, waiting for the staff member to come into the room and talk to me.“Thank you for coming here, Lia Brown.”I resisted the urge to squirm in my seat, even though the urge was great.“I signed the paper and returned it. Why am I here?”She blinked. “Miss Brown you're not in trouble. We just have to move your ceremony to next week to accommodate a speaking guest we booked at the last minute. The staff will be busy with preparations so I hope you can understand.”“What?” I blurted out. “I want to get this over with; not wait another few days!”“Miss Brown please calm down,” the woman muttered, glaring at me from across the desk. “I understand you are eager to find your mates—”“No, you don’t understand because that’s not

LiaThe school was buzzing with excitement from the moment the email was sent out. Come Friday, it was all anyone could talk about. It was like they forgot that the championship Rugby team members once went to this very school.I don’t know how they could forget such a thing. This was something I remembered every single day, unable to forget no matter how much I tried.But I believed what my brother said. They weren’t going to be there. It was just going to be him.Until I ran right into Colby of all people. He looked surprised so I don’t think he was trying to seek me out. I jerked away as if I had been burned, flattening myself against the wall and trying to become as small as possible.“Hey Lia,” he purred, grinning from ear to ear.He ran a hand through his damp dirty blonde locks, clearly having just gotten out of the shower not long ago.“Colby,” I spat, trying to make a run for it.Before I could, Colby crowded me against the wall. He had me pinned with both hands on either sid

LiaI sat in the nurse's office, trembling from head to toe. My skin was pale and my eyes wide, filled with anticipation, and none of it was good. Today was the day—I was going to discover who I was going to be mated to. This was provided it worked out.The nurse was preparing the medicine, rattling off a bunch of medical mumbo jumbo to me. I was only half listening and the stuff I did hear didn’t make sense to me. What was the gist was that this medicine was going to react with my omega hormones. Then alphas nearby would react to my scent if they were my chosen mates.If, on the rare chance no one reacted, then they would take a sample of my blood and put it into the database. From there, they would test against others in the state to see if I had a potential match.It wasn’t to say people didn’t seek out relationships from those they were mated with but our state was very stuck in its ways. Those who deviated from the norm were not treated well by society. I had thought about leaving

JesseLearning Lia was pregnant was amazing but also fucking scary. I never imagined myself as someone who would be a father. After the two of us were together, I knew it was bound to happen, but the fact of the matter is, I never thought I would be a parent.Sighing, I finished gathering the groceries and headed home. It was truly annoying to go about the day-to-day things you needed to live. I had gone for a run last time, realizing that we all had been missing out on this.It was a good run, but when I got home, I realized I had to get back to normal life. AKA getting groceries.Huffing, I pulled into the driveway and then took the bags to the front door. It was a bit of a balancing act, but I was able to do it.I pushed open the door with my shoulder, balancing a couple of grocery bags. "Lia? You home?"Silence.Then I heard it—the soft sounds of... something. Shuffling. Rustling. A thump.Frowning, I kicked my shoes off and followed the noise upstairs. "If you're hiding and plann

RainAfter learning Lia was pregnant, I became even more anxiety-ridden and neurotic. I was always like this, but when I was stressed, it was a hell of a lot worse.Right now, I was determined to make Lia’s life as uncomplicated as possible. I was doing my best and probably overreaching, but there was no stopping me now. Every part of me was determined to help Lia as much as I could.If I ended up acting crazy during this point, then so be it. I was willing to do it.I raced back into the living room, nearly slipping on the hardwood floor. "Lia! Where’s your water bottle? You need to stay hydrated!"She gave me a look over the mountain of pillows she was lounging on. "I drank it already."I froze. "You finished it?! That fast?! Oh my god, you’re dehydrated. You're going to shrivel up. I’ll get more—""Rain!" she snapped, cutting me off. "I’m fine! Sit down for five seconds before I throw this pillow at your face."I blinked, halfway to the kitchen. "But—""Sit. Down."I shuffled over

LiaMy mates knew I was pregnant now, but I also had to adjust to the fact that I was dealing with a pregnancy.There was a child or likely children in my belly. I kept saying that there were twins. I had no proof yet, but it felt like there was. It was just one of those feelings I had deep down, as strange as that sounded.Yawning, I was lying on the couch, trying to nap after having a difficult morning, throwing up a lot, when Simone burst into the room.I was still processing everything when Simone practically burst into the living room, wild-eyed and vibrating with energy."We have to plan a party!" she shrieked, already pulling out her phone like the planning was happening right now.My head started to hurt. I wondered if I should go for another run. When I was in my wolf form, I didn’t have so many morning sickness. Strange that when I shifted, the morning sickness was mostly there, but I suppose that made sense.Our human forms were technically weaker than our wolf ones. There

LiaIt was time I told my mates. Simone knew but my mates didn’t. Then I would proceed to tell my brother and Gabi. I’d also tell her twins, my niece and nephew, in the best way I could. They were very young so I don’t know how well they would even understand for the most part.But my mates were the most important people to tell.And yet I was nervous.This was a huge change. I also, briefly, wonder if they are going to be upset over trying to figure out who the fuck the biological parents are, but everything is going to be all right.The fact is we are all a pack and family so there is no reason for me to be upset about it. I am still putting it off until this very morning that is.Everyone was gathered in the kitchen table. I was pacing, walking back and forth. Honestly, I felt like I was going to wear a hole out in the kitchen floor from all the pacing I was doing but I was pretty sure I wouldn’t. It was sturdy ground.I wrung my hands together, the words caught in my throat. They

LiaI stared at the ceiling for the third morning in a row. My heart was racing again, for no real reason.My stomach felt weird. Not sick, just... off. I didn’t want to think about what that could mean.But I couldn’t ignore it anymore.I called Simone.She answered, yawning. “You know it’s not even eight, right?”“I think I might be pregnant,” I said, fast.Silence.Then, “Wow. Good morning to you, too.”“I’m serious.”“Wait—what? Are you sure?”“No. That’s the thing.” I sat up and put a hand on my stomach. “I’ve just been feeling weird. Sore. Nauseous some mornings. I smell different from myself. Isn’t that a thing?”Simone made a weird noise. “Yeah, that’s a thing.”“And I’ve been eating weird, too. And I got really mad at Matt yesterday because he was breathing too loudly. Then I cried because I couldn’t find my hairbrush. That’s not normal.”“To be fair, Matt does breathe like a bulldozer.”“Simone—”“Okay, okay. I’m focused now. Lia… oh wow. You really might be.”“I don’t want

JesseOut of all the mates in our group, I was most aware. It wasn’t like I wanted to mock the others, but the fact of the matter was, I was the type of person to be aware of what was going on with everyone.If something was off, I was going to notice it.Now, with Rain, this didn’t count because he wore his heart on his sleeve. He always made it so obvious when something was wrong, and couldn’t hide his emotions even if he tried. If he did try, then he ended up being more obvious than usual!The others depended. Colby and Matt could hide their emotions, but not from me. Lia also depended, while Michael did a pretty good job of hiding it unless it had to do with Gabi and the kids. If it had to do with one of them, then he showed how upset he was because they were his family.Not that we weren’t, but they were his mate as well as children. It was a little different.Today I was out with Lia. The two of us were going for a walk, trying to enjoy some of the fresh air. I did offer the oth
