LYRA*"Ok, Lyra and Blaze, last chance to back out before taking your implant out? Once out, you are fertile and could become pregnant soon afterward?" Dr. Stevenson asked Blaze and me just before removing the Nexplanon.Blaze and I glanced lovingly at each other and nodded in agreement at Dr. Stevenson."You both can start trying once you arrive home if you would like. There are also ovulation tests you can get over the counter that will tell you when you are ovulating," Dr. Stevenson said." I think we prefer being surprised and letting things happen on their own," Blaze said, and I nodded in agreement."Alright then, good luck to you both; hopefully, we will see you back here in a couple of months," Dr. Stevenson said as we made our way out of the door.***Blaze and I didn't get a chance to start trying for a baby right away because my appointment was on Thursday during lunch for Blaze and a period break for me from school. Unfortunately, Blaze had to get back to work, and I
BLAZE*My eyes and ears were deceiving me. Dr.Stevenson did not just say Lyra and I are having twins. Lyra looked like she was about to hyperventilate; Lyra and I both seemed to be in shock."Excuse me, Dr. Stevenson, but repeat that one more time; I don't think I heard you correctly," I said."You both look like you're in shock; sit down, Blaze, and I will move the monitor closer," Dr. Stevenson said as she adjusted the screen.I sat down and squeezed Lyra's hand. At first, I freaked out, but as I saw the two heartbeats fluttering on the screen and then heard them beating in time together, I grew excited. They looked nothing like babies right now; it was all so interesting. I can understand why Vega and Jace called Nicholas a bean or an alien at first.Lyra was going to be eating for three for the next six months. If she could get to where she could keep some food down, that is. I looked at Lyra, and she beamed at me happily; the shock had cleared."Two times in a row got us two babi
TWO YEARS LATER*LYRA* The last two years have been a whirlwind of activity in the Cunnigham family. Vega and Jace had another boy and are now expecting their third baby, which happens to be a girl. Vega and Jace are both stoked about that. After having two boys that were only twelve months apart. They wasted no time at all getting pregnant again after having baby Jackson. Blaze and I are expecting as well, with only one baby this time, thank goodness, and we just found out that the baby is also a girl. Vega and I are both due around the same date in May. Wouldn't that be crazy if we had our babies on the same day? I'm not sure how we managed this, but we did; I'm sure even though they will be cousins, they will be close like sisters. Adelaide is excited to be getting a baby sister after being surrounded by boys for two years; poor thing. Vega and I are about to receive our Doctorate, though I'm not sure how we pulled it off with having a growing family. Having twins wasn't an easy

TANNER* Jace and I huddled together, and I turned the television up louder as mom and dad yelled at each other downstairs. Jace and I had gone to bed not too long ago, but the sound of our mom's screams had woken Jace, and he had run to my room. "It's ok, buddy; every
***KAYSEN TWO YEARS AGO*** "Alright, babe, I'll be right back with your pineapple upside-down cake. Are you sure you don't want anything else?" Michael asked as he bent down and kissed me on the forehead. "Nope, Cora wants pineapple upside-down cake. I'm not craving anything else. Well, maybe some chocolate chip cookies," I said, and Michael walked away laughing. "Ok, I love you; I'll be back soon," Michael said as he walked outside. ***ONE HOUR LATER*** I peered at my phone and saw that an hour had passed and Michael had not returned from the store. I wondered what would be keeping him so long; he should have been home by now. Shortly after, there was a knock at the front door. 'Who could be here at this hour?' I thought to myself as I walked to the door. It was eleven o'clock on a Sunday evening; everyone I knew at this moment in my life would be home and asleep. I opened the door to see two police officers waiting for me to answer the door. "E
Tanner* It has been two months since Mae and I had gone our separate ways, and I'm back to my old habits. I meet Conner and Wade at the bar and bring home different women every week. At least I'm not as bad as Conner and Wade, who have at least three women in a week. I have fun with them; it's usually about two weeks that women start to get clingy, and I let them go and move on to the next. After Mae, I knew it was best not to get into another relationship.I was true to my word and started seeing my therapist again. I made an appointment the next day after leaving Mae's apartment. I had woken up and missed work for the first time due to a massive hangover and knew that I needed to do something before becoming an alcoholic.Losing Mae gutted me something fierce. But I knew that it was the best thing to do. Mae had left all of my stuff at Blaze's house, and I had not heard from her since that night. Lyra and Vega had been good about ensuring that Mae and I wouldn't cross each other's
KAYSEN* I wanted this man with every fiber of my being. What the heck was going on with me? As I danced and stripped before these countless men, my gaze never left his. He became the only man in the room as everyone else had evaporated into thin air. As I stripped, I imagined him tearing the clothes from my body and throwing me on his bed, and ravaging me. I did the most erotic pole dance I had ever done in the whole six months I had been stripping. I left nothing to the imagination. As I lay on the floor and ran my hands down my body, I imagined that my hands were his hands massaging my breasts. My pole dance was nothing short of remarkable. I knew that my tips would be good tonight. Everyone in this bar knew that I stayed as to waitress every night after I danced; unlike the other girls, men always left their money in tips for me. Instead of putting them in my thong like they would the other girls. Men knew by now; that I didn't particularly appreciate being touched.
DIANA*It has been twenty-five years since it all started. When the beautiful Auburn-haired, green-eyed Riley twins walked into Blaze and Jace's lives. Lyra and Vega are the daughters I myself could never have, but I have been blessed beyond measure to have them both in my life.Between Jace and Vega, then Lyra and Blaze, then Tanner and Kaysen, I now have eighteen grandchildren. Blaze and Lyra have eight of those, and I do believe the only reason why they stopped is that the last time Lyra became pregnant, it resulted in her having another set of twins. Blaze had told me on several occasions when he was in college that he wanted a big family, and now as I gaze around at my massive family, I see he has all he ever dreamed of."Blaze, Lyra, get your family together so the photographer can get a picture of you with your dad and me," I called out over the crowd.Every year at Christmas time, we have a massive family reunion, and I always make sure to have several photographers around to
SIX MONTHS LATER*WADE*Taylor made it back to work after taking three months off to spend with Nathaniel. Samantha had also gotten Luke over his disdain over our relationship, and Samantha has cared for Nathaniel daily while we are at work. We have all bonded and have started going back to Luke's church.Blaze was beyond ecstatic when Taylor returned. The temp who had worked in her place while she was gone couldn't hack it. The office had turned into a shit show, to be honest, but we all somehow made it through. Connor, Jace, and I did most of the temp's work while she mainly just answered calls and forwarded them to us, and filed paperwork as an average secretary would. Three months of being stuck in the office and not doing any fieldwork had us all pent up—even Jace, who spent most of, if not all, of his time in the office.Blaze didn't win in the Mayor's election, but he came in close, losing by only a couple hundred votes, and that in turn brought in a whole slew of new clientele
TAYLOR*It's a good thing Torrance made sure all the equipment was set up in the bathroom before leaving. I had gotten up, and Wade, Connor, and I went for a stroll. My feet were so swollen, though. So after thirty minutes of walking, we went back home. I pounced on Connor and Wade just as we walked through the door, and we made love. It was mind-blowing sex that had my whole body trembling each time I came. When I got up to go to the bathroom, my water broke and gushed out onto the floor.Wade ran to fill up the bathtub as Connor called Kimberly, who said she would call Torrance and not to worry that they would both be there within ten minutes or so. Connor walked me to the bathroom and sat me on a closed toilet lid while he went out to clean up the floor, and Wade and I waited for the bathtub to fill up."Are you having any contractions?""No, but I need to use the restroom. Can you give me a minute, please," I usually wouldn't care if he stayed, but my stomach was on fire like I wa
Five Months Later🌶🌶🌶CONNOR*I helped Taylor out of the bathtub, and my cock sprung to the sight of her body. Pregnancy suits her, she is so damn sexy, Wade, and I can't seem to get enough of her. Pregnancy hormones have her jumping us any chance she gets. The last five months have been magical, and I never wanted it to end."Where's Wade?""He went out to get you the mint chocolate chip ice cream and pickles you were asking for,""He didn't have to do that; I could have waited,""Nonsense, what our love wants, she gets,""Do we have time for a quicky? I don't want to wait; I need you inside me now, Connor," Taylor demanded and rubbed her hand over my boxers, grinning when she felt my erection."Mmm, yes, babe, I'm going to cum so deep inside you it'll make your head spin," I said as I licked droplets of water from her neck down to her nipples.Taylor gripped the edge of my boxers and pulled them down, and gripped my length in her hands as I stroked her soft wet folds and sucked ea
TAYLOR*My parents have been asking for answers since Saturday. What possessed me to hug and kiss Connor out in the open? Oh yes, he's the love of my life, and he was hurt. At the time, I didn't care who saw; I had to be there for him. Now, after everything that has happened over the last couple of months, I'm tired of hiding the fact that I am with both Connor and Wade. If anyone has a problem with it, they can forget we exist, and that includes my parents. It's our time for happiness, and I'm not going to let anyone taint what we have."Alright, the moment of truth; you guys ready?" I asked Connor and Wade before opening the front door.We all took a deep breath, and Connor and Wade bent and kissed my cheeks, and then I turned the handle. Mark came running around the corner, excited to see all of us. It's crazy that he would turn five in five months; where had the time gone? Instead of running to me, he ran straight into Connor's arms."You were like Superman coming to save the day.
CONNOR* Today is our last day off from work, and the day we get to see and hear a heartbeat. Initially, I wasn't going with Taylor and Wade, but they insisted I go with them. Taylor emphasized that we would all be raising the baby together, so we needed to go through this experience together, and Wade agreed with her. So, in the end, I decided to make them both happy. "Hey babe, it's time to wake up, love. I have omelets waiting in the dining room; they will get cold. Can you wake Wade up for me? Im going to go get some toast and juice ready," I said as I kissed Taylor on the nose and ran my fingers through her hair. Taylor grinned and went to work to get Wade up as I returned to the kitchen. As usual, I was the first to crawl out of bed this morning. Her appointment was set for ten o'clock, so we didn't have much time before we needed to get ready to leave, but I wanted to make sure Taylor ate before we left. She is growing a human being inside her; I couldn't let her go around st
TAYLOR*Connor was released around five o'clock in the evening after being stitched up, having his MRI, and a bag of IV fluids with pain killers. He was lucky to have not broken any ribs, only bruising around the area where Aaron had jabbed and kicked him. Connor had, however, broken a couple of fingers and fractured his wrist. The MRI only showed a mild concussion, and no other injuries were reported. Aaron, however, showed no signs of improvement when we left. I was told I would get a call when the time came that he would be going into surgery. I was also told he would most likely never fully recover.Wade and I had left to get Jackson, Connor, and Wade's dad when some police officers showed up to get Connor's accounts of what had happened earlier that day. He would not be facing any jail time because there was too much evidence showing that he was defending himself and doing what he could to protect Mark.Connor, Wade, and I decided we would keep our relationship under wraps for no
TAYLOR*"You shouldn't have kissed me like you did; your parents were right there and saw the whole thing," Connor said as he winced in pain. "And they didn't look too happy about it. Of course, it could also be the fact that I might have very well killed Aaron. He was breathing when they took him," Connor said grimly.I couldn't quite place if it was because he was actually in pain or he felt terrible about Aaron, that held a permanent scowl on his face. As far as my parents go, they would have figured it out eventually, so why not get everything out in the open now?I don't know how I feel about Aaron at this point. I've been his only family besides the bureau for the last ten years and the last five years; he has treated me like gum you find stuck to the bottom of your shoe. Aaron's whole family, his parent's and four younger siblings died from carbon monoxide poisoning in their home when Aaron was 25 and away at college. He has no surviving family to this day. I suppose I'll be th
CONNOR*I watched as Wade drove off with our wife and wished that I could be driving off with them right now. A pang of jealousy rocked through me. Though I got the privilege of walking Taylor down the aisle, I would never get to enjoy the whole experience of getting married. I would never be able to say those vows and put a wedding band on her finger. I would never be able to boast about her being my wife. I was always going to be a secret because no one would ever be able to handle the fact that all three of us were one.As I was wallowing in self-pity, I heard screams coming from the playground. I saw that Aaron had grabbed Mark and was running with him like a man gone crazy. I ran like my life depended on it; I wasn't sure how to keep Mark from being harmed."Aaron put Mark down now! Aaron stop! You don't want to harm your son; put him down," I yelled as I caught up to Aaron and ran alongside him. "Aaron, stop and put Mark down NOW!" I commanded, and Aaron stopped with a look of d
