Christos.Running a swift look around the room, I realised some facts, which if I had been thinking more clearly I would have noticed earlier.The room was almost a total blackness and looking round, I saw that the light had been switched off and the curtains drawn closed, leaving just one slightly opened, to cast shades in the room for one to see lightly and move about.Turning my eyes slowly to look at the quiet woman on the bed, I finally noticed the strains behind her face and eyes and I swore softly. She winced and I knew she thought the swearing had been directed at her.“Are you sick?” I thought I asked softly but when she winced again, I knew I must have sounded harsh from the frustration of sudden concern.I saw the small nod she gave to my answer and I closed my eyes tightly. Regretting the impulse that had made me barge in here.With a groan, I remembered my disappointment and hurt when the HR had informed me she was not at work. Swearing softly, I had thought I could ignor
Christos.I thought I had the answer when she blushed slightly before looking away. But I must have imagined it because in the next minute, she turned her head to look at me.“I told you, the kids will be worried if I go to the hospital. The last time I fell sick and I was admitted, they immediately fell sick days after and the doctor said it was from worrying about me.” She explained and I found her response to be reasonable enough.I can sure imagine the sensitive kids joining their mother on the sickbay out of worries.“Okay, I get your point, but you promised to listen and do everything to get better at home?” It’s important to make her know I would not leave her alone to deal with it.She promised softly and I gave a terse nod of my head in acceptance.“Okay, I will have to speak with your housekeeper then. You will have to give me some minutes. Okay?” I said apologetically as I walked back to the bed to put her gently on it. I really hate having to leave her in this condition ev
Christos.Knowing we can’t have our talks in the hallway so as not to disturb their sleeping Mum, I did not want to also suggest waiting for them downstairs, they might decide to go into their mother’s room while I was not there to stop them.“Come to Eric’s room when you are through Erica. I will appreciate waiting for you over there.” I decided firmly as I followed Eric to his room.“Make yourself comfortable.” The young Eric said graciously like a host and I felt my lips twitching briefly in amusement.Looking round the room with eyes that were hooded under their shades, I was not surprised to see that so much effort and love had gone into making the room a sanctuary for the young boy.Painted a royal shade of purple and gold, it gave the effect of a palace that’s plainly decorated with a young Prince in mind. Fitting!Turning to my left, I saw a Spider-Man and Batman poster that obviously even the young maturely behaved Eric could not resist and I chuckled. ‘It’s slightly comfort
Christos. I could not believe that in the midst of the kids' dramas, I almost forgot about the sick woman in the room. Their mother! Now impatient to go back to her side, I took the two children by their shoulders as I made them sit on the bed. “There is no big deal about my coming, kids. Your Mum did not turn up at work today and we got worried.” I started calmly; glad that they would never know how far I was from the truth. “She did not? But Mum never misses work.” Erica said with a little show of surprise and I thought about how good she would be in Hollywood. Such a dramatic queen! “Well, she did and because I was also worried, I came here to check on her and guess what I saw when I got here?” “What?” They chorused slowly in unison. “A woman having a fever. I met your Mum sleeping with the shades drawn and the room thrown into total darkness and when I touched her skin, it was so hot, I was almost scalded.” I had not meant to reveal all or be very upfront with their Mum’s he
Christos. With them insisting on not leaving their Mum all alone in her weak state and me insisting they must eat, we called Mary to come upstairs. “Come in Mary.” I called softly after hearing a brief knock. “How is she doing?” She asked softly after sending a brief glance towards the bed. “Coming out of it hopefully.” I said confidently, knowing those little humans had their ears pinned to the ground. Mary obviously understood much could not be said in front of the little ones because she accepted my words casually. “Please, Mary, can you get some food up here for us? The kids insisted on staying in the room with their Mum and I know for a fact that their Mum would want them to have some food after school lunch.” I explained apologetically, letting her know it was not intentional to stress her up the stairs when I already noticed her knees were not really strong for the exercise. “Sure, Mr. Fernandez. I will make rice right away.” Mary promised and I smiled. “We don’t want t
Christos. I was glad when Mary walked in thirty something minutes later with a tray of food and getting up to help her put the food on the table, we quickly made a short work of it. Soon, the table was covered with plates of chicken, fries, soda and juice. Dismissing Mary to go back to her duties, I took the plates and served the kids and because I was also famished despite my concern for Becca’s health, I took a plate and served myself also before sitting down quietly to my meal. “You will agree that there is nothing like good French fries, right, Uncle Christos?” Eric commented with a smile and since it was obvious I was also enjoying my meal, there was no denying of the fact. “Absolutely correct, son—hmm Eric.” About to make the same mistake again, I quickly changed the son to his name. From the way both siblings peered at me, it was obvious they noticed, although none of them made mention of it; which I’m grateful for! “What do you care for, Uncle Christos? Juice or soda?” E
Christos.“Yea, right, Eric. It is hilarious how Mum almost murdered Uncle Christos right now with her ‘Mummy is angry brown eyes’.” And as if she found this to be very hilarious, the chit of a girl fell to the bed to laugh happily.“Found it funny, right?” I intoned sardonically, pretending to be extremely angry.And instead of the pity or remorse I was expecting, the little madam seemed to find it even funnier and she went off again in a wild laugh.To my surprise, I swung my gaze to the usually serious Eric and I was left speechless when I saw his face twitch lightly before he joined his sister in full throated laughter.Folding my arms tightly across my wide chest, I crossed my legs in a waiting posture and with an I-am-hurt expression on my face, I kept my gaze on them.“Oh—please—stop—Uncle Christos, my—tummy—my tummy is hurting me and—and I won’t be able to stop if you keep on like that.” Erica gasped loudly and it was an effort to keep a stern expression on my face.“Serves yo
Christos.A momentary silence and then a rough cough.“Did you give me some medication aside from the hot soup?” She finally asked with coffee eyes that could not hide their weariness and I chuckled.“No, Becca, the medication was the soup. It is something we usually take in my family for fever relief and I added a little bit to your soup to help you get better sooner.” I offered an explanation.“But how? When you came here you didn't even know I was sick.” She cried softly and I was pleasantly surprised.It is good to know even in sickness, this woman’s brain is working properly and alertly. Shows she is a true survivor.“You are right, I did not know and I was not prepared for that, but after seeing your state of health, I immediately called one of my men to bring it for me. Which if you ask your housekeeper, she would confirm to you, Madam Thomas.” I chided softly, unwilling to admit that a part of me is seriously hurt that she seemed not to trust me, even now.“Oh—I see. I did not

Christos. “What?” They all screamed at the same time including the twins. “Becca didn’t give me a Baby. She—she delivered triplets.” He tacked along softly and it was a while before the meaning of his words penetrated their shocked brains. “A what?” Josh Summer finally murmured, unable to believe his ears. “She gave me a boy and two girls. The most beautiful healthy babies I have ever seen in my life. That’s what my Mate gave me.” He enunciated softly, so that there was no confusion about his meaning and almost at once, everyone moved to sit down weakly. Having thought he was going to deliver unwanted news after that statement of no baby, it was a real shock to hear that not only had she given birth to a healthy baby, but babies. “Triplets, oh my God!” Erica murmured in awe, echoing the thought in everyone’s head and Christos finally allowed himself to show a little of what he was feeling. Though he is still dazed, it’s obvious he’s happy and proud of his mate’s latest accompl
Christos.Just in that moment, they heard movements behind them and they all turned to see the newly married and pregnant Cindy running towards them with her frustrated Mate in pursuit, trying to no avail to stop her from running on the dangerous floor of the hospital and it amused them all to notice that she was barely paying him attention as she almost barged into Josh Summer who was standing almost in her path.“Oops, I am sorry, Dad.” With an embarrassing blush covering her cheeks, she apologised wryly to her best friend’s Dad who sent an amused look towards her protruding belly.“You are not trying to bring that baby to the world yet. Are you, baby girl?” Josh Summer teased with a fond smile at his daughter’s friend who was now a member of his big loving family and Cindy chuckled wryly.“Of course not, Dad. And please, don’t joke like that, it takes little to make Micheal turn green at the edges these days.” She murmured mischievously to the man she now considered to be her fath
Christos.Wondering if it would be considered bad manners to scuffle in the hospital room even though he’s the master of the whole place, the Alpha allowed himself to take a deep breath while his wolf gave the now silent Gabriel an unbelievable look. ‘Really! Is he so stupid he doesn’t fear for his life right now?’ Lightning murmured to himself as he watched his human companion trying to control his breathing.“You want to join my Mate on the hospital bed. Don’t you? I will not mind breaking your arms right now if that’s what you are asking for.” The Alpha promised tightly, almost with relish and Gabriel gave him an askance look.“You mean despite being tense about the birth of the new pups, you will still have energy to scuffle with me?” He then made a tsk tsk sound as if he couldn’t believe it.With slitted eyes that’s almost closed, Christos gave the annoying idiot a considering look and just when he thought the hell with it and was going to throttle the guy anyways, his Beta quic
Becca.“Most proper way possible?” I could pick out the confusion in his voice and I smiled inwardly.‘Poor man! If only he knows what plans I have gat for him.’ I mused wryly to myself with another silent chuckle even as I stood to my knees again on the bed.“Yes. My darling slow Alpha, I mean that I need you and Lightning right now. In there, pounding me hot till I scream for your mercy.” I uttered slowly even as I removed the lapels of my robe to reveal my naked body to his gaze.Even before I revealed my boobs with its newly added weight, I could feel the charged atmosphere as Lightning immediately jumped to attention upon hearing my declaration and when I saw the almost unfocused slanted eyes of my beloved mate, I finally allowed my amusement to show.“You want to stare all day or you want to come have this?” I enticed with a little pat at my well rounded endowed ass and I saw him give a visible shiver.“I would really love to stare all day, my Queen, because damn, you are worth
Christos. I inhaled sharply before looking at her with hooded eyes.“Okay Babes, what do you want us to clarify?”“This thing, this unnecessary burden you are carrying on your shoulders. I admit that you have sexy broad shoulders that seem capable of anything but the last thing you should let them take on is a burden that’s useless.” She intoned almost harshly and not just me, but my wolf also winced along with me.“Useless?” Is that how she sees it? And couldn’t she have phrased that more gently? Why make it seem as if I’m having an unnecessary pity party?“Yes, useless. Don’t get me wrong, I understand your feelings, I sure do. I know it’s possible to feel guilty over the past, because yea, I have been there, done it all but at the end of the day, I sat myself down and I asked myself if it’s worth it. Do I want to keep wallowing in the past, wallowing in guilt or do I want to move forward and be a better version of myself? So I ask you, Christos Fernandez, do you want to continue w
Christos.“Not me. I was paying attention. Lightning is the one with a wandering mind.” I pushed the blame on my wolf without remorse and he gave an angry bellow before peeping out of my eyes to look at our Mate with soft baby eyes, probably hoping to soften her up that way but she was having none of it.“Don’t try to be cute, Lightning. I am a woman that is after answers and I mean to get it.” She warned softly and I felt my wolf releasing a little sigh of disappointment as he sat to listen. ‘Good! At least he can’t continue to think he is the special baby here, her favourite. No way man, if I suffer, he suffers!’ I muttered to myself with relish and I heard a long hiss that showed he knew what I was thinking. But who cares? As long as he isn’t trying to take my place in my woman’s heart, I am good.“Becca darling, you should relax and stop worrying yourself over nothing, okay?” I tried to pacify the heavily pregnant woman that’s still glaring at me so suspiciously, one would think
Christos.Just when I felt a stumble and I was certain I might never get out of this dark void that’s consuming my body and soul, I felt a cool touch on my sensitive skin and I jumped as if scalded. “Christos? What’s going on? Why are you suddenly looking as if you just saw a ghost? And why is your body so hot to touch?” Becca’s tone sounded so faint, it’s as if she was speaking from afar and it was with a great effort I pulled myself back from my own self inflicted abyss to focus my gaze on her.Even at that, her face seemed blurry and I can’t find the words to explain how I felt. “Damn it, Christos, you are getting me worried and you are indirectly transmitting this to the baby, I can feel him in here right now kicking up a ruckus and to be frank, I don’t find it funny.” Her voice suddenly called more urgently as she gripped my bulgy arms for a significant shake.If the tone of her voice had not been enough to pull me out of my misery, then the word ‘baby’ instantly did the magic
Christos.By now, my men and Cindy already joined us with her besotted mate walking closely beside her. I could see the way they kept touching one another slyly and I glanced away from the image it was creating in my head. Turning my head to the other side, I ignored them pointedly.I want no lovey dovey distraction until I sort my pups and can then give my woman my undivided attention. In the privacy of our bedroom, mind you. ‘Hopefully, I can wait to get there before thrusting myself into her welcoming abode.’ I mused wryly to myself and Lightning’s groan gave me a jolt.‘Will you stop it, man? You are creating ideas in my head and that is not fair. Not now, when our mate has something else on her mind at least.’ He rebuked with a childish petulance that got me so amused, I wish I could hoot in laughter.But I curbed the impulse, knowing that that was not the time, not with our parents standing close by, paying attention to every word and gestures.“I am not capping, Ric. I am only
