Red's Pov

Okay things, well, thing were definitely weird the more time passed. After our lovely night of love making, which I was sore days afterwards, John had finally let it really set in. And so did I.

I was going to have a baby, two of them, how would that even work? Like, how would they come out exactly? The same way they were made or...do they have to be cut out of me?

All these questions, and only Jaime could answer.

Sadly Jaime and my Father have been mysteriously busy...together. For the past two months.

Sighing I leaned back and groaned loudly. I hope Jaime would be able to answer my questions when he wasn't to busy...doing stuff. It was kinda weird the way they redacted to each other. Especially for me as I was there to witness it unlike the others.

A week after being told, Jaime had come back to see me and the days events were definitely something noteworthy. As me and Jaime were eating outside in the Gazebo, talking about how the herbs were helping so far, did the loud running steps reach our ears.

There, my father was running full speed at us. He looked frenzied and scared? Or was that a very heartbreaking hope I was seeing?

Anyways, Jaime has stood up before he ran straight at my father. They had embraced. And then Reddison kissed him so passionately I was blushing from just knowing that's exactly how John kisses me.

Jaime had pulled away. "Wait....we...we just met..." He had gasped when he was able to pull away.

"I don't care...I'm not going to lose you too..." He had whispered roughly.

"Okay...." Jaime whispered back before kissing him, this time, so sweetly, I wish it was one of my pastries.

From there I think I pretty much got it, they were mates! I was so happy for my dad and Jaime. Jaime had been waiting years, nearly t a thousand years. But my father, though younger, had lost his-my true mom. His first mate. He never told me how exactly that happened and maybe one day I would know, but I was happy for him to. I always would be.

So I guess I'm a sense. Jaime was now my other parent. What makes it even funnier as well as amazing was that Cinder was kind of my brother in a sense. We joked about it all the time. But he liked the idea, seeing as he never had a sibling. Seeing as his step sister were horrid I feel obligated to show him what little siblings could do.

But besides all that. There was John and his pack. Wherever I went, people were there asking if I needed or wanted anything and it was annoying. It was really starting to bother me so I just avoided them at all costs.

One time, I got so annoyed I threw a pan at one of Johns cooks, when they told me I could get hurt in the kitchen. I had yelled so loud I swear the earth shook. Telling the world basically I was better at cooking then him as I knew the kitchen better then anything, that if anyone dared to tell me again that I couldn't or well shouldn't. I was going rip someone's throat out with my bare teeth. And considering I wasn't a wolf, it worked and the cooks backed off. But they still kept watch in me.

And John...dear gods he was getting on my nerves too with how he cuddled me nearly whenever he saw me. I really hated it. Sure I loved hugging and being held. But all the time? A person needs space, especially one that isn't feeling well.

Sooo I may or may not be in my own room again with John outside begging to be let in once more, whining and literally scratching at said door.

"Please..." he whined, once again. "Let me in Red. I picked up a shoe and threw it at the door satisfied at hearing him yelp before snuggling into my pillows.

"Seriously, What are you doing John?" I heard my brother Malcolm day as he, as I would imagine was crossing his arms.

"Trying to get him to let me in." He said and I'm pretty sure he was pouting.

I rolled my eyes with a huff as I decided to check something, I hadn't been really paying attention to my stomach and I knew it was getting bigger by the fact I could barely change out of them or into my shirts. Another thing I found incredibly bothersome.

There I found the bump, I giggled to myself as I rubbed it. Hoping that if I rubbed it like a magic lamp two beautiful and magical babies would come out. But no, they didn't.

"Red?" John asked through the door.

Suddenly I wasn't irritated, and maybe it was because of the mood swings, maybe it was because of how much I loved John and our children to come.

Because all that mattered was that I was so happy that I let John in and I let him see, let's just say it was a very endearing moment.

***

Another three months and I was as round as a ball already. People were still annoying and I had locked John out of our room a few times already. But overall they laid back just a bit but I knew they were always watching me in case anything happens.

I was enjoying a stroll, trying to get used to being so heavy set now. Rubbing my tummy as I went. Smelling and touching flowers as I go.
It was relaxing all in all, nearly like baking was.

The babies were always squirming but never kicking. Sometimes they made me uncomfortable in the sudden new positions they had found, they were definitely curious little things.

Gasping I was suddenly hitting the man behind me for scaring me. John only laughed and held me tighter in his arms. "Not cool! At least warn a pregnant guy would you!" I yelped as he picked me up.

"Well I would if you weren't off in la la land, I was calling your name at least for a whole minute." He says as he carried me towards the house.

Pouting I blush. "I was not."

"Was too." He smirked.

We then both gasped, well I more like yelped then laughed my butt off. "They haha, they fricken kicked you, gwhahahha! Wow!"

He just glared a my tummy a little but fondly. "Traitors..." He has said so softly I barely heard it but I smiled at him happily and he couldn't help but grin back at me.

***

Finally, I would get my answers, nearly 7 months pregnant, walking around like a bloated whale and very unsure as the days got closer to when they were suspected to be due.

Jaime and my father were back from their business and I suspected it was due to how Jaime forgot why I'd even asked him to come by for. Honestly....

So here I was rubbing my stomach as I instructed one of the chefs to pull the tarts out of the oven for me, as I couldn't bend, when in walked my father and Jaime soon behind in male form. He's been staying in male form. A lot lately actually.

When I looked up at them slightly startled, I was already in a hug before I could even register who it was. But I knew by the red hair in my face.

"Ack! Dad!" I said startled as I hugged him back.

"It's good to be back from our trip." He says as he pulls away to then go straight to my stomach cooing how cute it was as I only rolled my eyes with Jaime.

"Welcome back." I said as I laughed.

Jaime smiled as he walked up hugged me softly. "How are you? The babies good too?" He spouted off in quick succession for the simple two sentences making me giggle.

Having my dad back off a bit so I could clean off my hands I responded. "Yes we're all fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Well I would think."

"That's good. Are we alright to talk somewhere more comfortable? And maybe I'll be able to see the babies genders." Jaime claps his hands with a grin appearing on his face.

Grinning back. I nodded and headed to the same room I was told I was pregnant in. Sitting down, my father sat on the opposite side rod me and Jaime sat beside me. "How was your trip? It was good right?" I asked them as Jaime put his glowing warm hands on me.

"Exhausting for me but eventful to say the least." Jaime gave a small glare over to my father who only smirked back. Making a little blush to come forth on Jaimes cheeks. "Now what were your inquiries?"

Giggling a bit when the kids kicked Jaime, I sighed a bit. "Just wether how I'm going to have them. Will they come from...well you know?" I blushed as I asked this.

"Well that's part of the reason I wanted us to come for the last two months of your pregnancy. I'm never really sure when the opening to the womb starts, it all begins and ends with magic. First with the process oh how, once your, well, taken by John, the process begins and it's sure to get you pregnant. There no stopping it. The rest makes sure the babies grow healthy, but there's always a complication if not during the pregnancy. Then during birth. There is no magic for when it creates a opening, no magic to dull the pain anyway. It will literally tear a new hole. But magic will heal it slowly after they're born. The womb will then disappear slowly, but this will make you sick. For nearly 2 weeks at most. You'll be fine. No ones died from this. Just felt like they were....." Jaime winced when he noticed how pale I was.

When John walked in he stopped and stared at me, as I stared straight into his eyes with fear in my eye. Sure I should be relaxed I won't die, but I've felt pain like I was dying before. I didn't want to go through it, and I knew John would feel a bit of it.

"What...is something wrong?" He asked quickly as he walked over to stand behind me, putting a hand on my shoulder which I took comfort in.

"I'll explain later, but it's nothing that will cost his life. We were just talking of how the birth would go. But I have the genders of the two trouble makers, as well as health report." Jaime says as he gives me a reassuring smile.

And it did it's job.

"Alright...tell us." I say getting excited. Leaving my doubts for another time.

Jaime smiled at me as he released his hands, the two wiggling babies calming now as I myself started to rub my swollen stomach. "Well, the one here on your right, is a boy."

"Yes..." John cheered through a whisper and when we all looked at him. He only chuckled and blushed a tiny bit.

Rolling his eyes, Jaime pointed to my left side. "And that one there under your ribs and digging into your hip, is a little girl. They're not identical as I would have thought, but most twins that are boy, girl, don't usually turn out identical."

John suddenly tipped my head back and kissed me deeply causing me to squeak out in surprise. But, I only contained my giggles so I too could kiss him.

A boy and girl, I can't wait.

The pain started a week after I hit my 8 month mark. I was doing a regular walk around the gardens. When suddenly a tearing feeling started below and I collapsed with a gasp. The guards that were watching me had quickly came over to me and when I told them to get me to my room, they carried me with worry and concern clear in their features.

I told them after they left me in my bed, in my room to get John, then Jaime.

I gasped again when the tearing feeling continues, like a really bad bandaid that was really stuck, and you weren't ripping it off. But a thousand times worse. I suddenly felt a gush from below, to find blood and I whimpered. Was that supposed to happen?

Moving, I tried to get off the bed, as it's already ruined, and I didn't want to sit in the fluids. Plus a shower might help. But as I was doing that John rushes in and was immediately all over me.

"John...John...no I'm not labor. John..." I sighed as I wasn't getting to him as he helped me to the bathroom. The pain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it still made it hard to breath. "John!" I finally yelled before wincing, he stopped and stared at me like a kicked puppy. "I'm fine...just help me clean up and Jaime will be here to help in a moment." Exactly when I said that then he walked in with a flourish.

"I was told you were in...oh...." Jaime said as he walked into the bathroom to see my legs bloodied and my face pale. "I'm guessing your finally preparing for the birth then?"

"That's what this is? He's going to bleed to death!" John growled as he helped slide me into the bath. I winced when I sat down, so I turned slightly and sighed as I rubbed my stomach. "This...this isn't natural." He said looking so concerned it broke my heart a little.

Jaime patted his shoulder as he walked over. "And a male having a child isn't? This was always going to be the risk if you ever wanted children before this. Males aren't supposed to have them, but with magic it's been done. But there's always a con to the pro, the pain is worse then a regular women's child birth, and they'll never be able to have this spell cast onto them again. Your lucky your having two, one of each. Don't worry, the magic was made to keep him alive. And I'm here to make sure it does." He explained as he kneeled before me.

John looking disgruntled at the news only watched with keen eyes.

The male fairy put his hand on my lower stomach, closer to my male genitalia then I would have liked but, I trusted Jaime. His hands grew warm and the soft light I saw told me he was indeed using magic.

When he pulled his hands away he frowned a bit. "It's going a bit faster then it should. But we should take that as a good thing. The babies aren't stressed yet and are leisurely moving around. I'm guessing they know they going to be born in a couple weeks time."

"Thanks Jaime..." I said as John decided to put the shower on warm for me, letting the water rinse me off as the fairy stepped away.

"It's nothing dear, I'll call Cinder to come help me, he's wanted to help me since we announced it. I wouldn't let him unless he studied vigilantly at the books I gave him about this. Plus I needed someone to take care of one of the babies as I help the other come along." He walks to the door before looking back at us. "I'll be right back okay?"

We nodded and off he went.

John sighed as he knelt down and used a loofah to help, he winced a bit when more came around. "I really hate seeing you like this..." he whispered softly as he moved his eyes to look into mine that were studying him.

I smiled as I took his hand and kissed his knuckles. "But soon it'll be us 4 against the world. This is just one step closer to our happy ever after." I told him letting my small hands play with his much larger one, trying to keep the pain at the back of my mind for now.

John smiled at me before moving forward and before I could chastise him for getting under the spray of the water, getting his clothes wet. His lips were on mine. Kissing me with such love I swear I would melt for real.

Giggling when he pulled away, high on love, I smiled at him before kissing him this time. "I love you...." I spoke as I closed my eyes as I payed my forehead against his.

I could feel him smiling in return as he sighed. "And I love you..."

*****

2 weeks later I was in labor.

I was walking back and forth in my room to get rid of the throb of discomfort coming from my hips when, instead of blood, came a clearish liquid. This....this...was it?

"John!" I yelped as I stood in place wide eyed looking between my legs at the mess I had made onto the wooden floors.

My mate, who was napping slightly in a chair across from our bed, sat straight up and looked to me then down and his own eyes widened. "Holy shit!" He gasped as he stood immediately. "Is that...?" He asked as he walked forward slightly in caution.

"I think it is..." I told him eyes still wide. I was in only a large shirt of Johns, wanting to induce my labor a little, and I didn't want to ruin more pants with blood, so pantless was the better option then stains.

"I'll go get Jaime and Cinder!" He gasped out as he ran off leaving me there.

I moved carefully away from the puddle, and to the bed when I stopped at the nightstand, barely able to gasp as my Breath was caught into the pain of a contraction. "Holy stars....l I meekly said through as I waited for it to pass. And it did eventually, soon after three people came in. Two only in their nightwear and a frazzled looking John.

John rushed to me as he saw me leaning over holding my stomach and laid me on the bed where clean towels were.

Things went by quickly from then on. Jaime was always checking on me and the babies with his glowing hands. Sometimes showing Cinder how to do it. Cinder was a mess of excitement and worry, as my contractions began to worsen and I'd scream through them sometimes. It honestly was to much.

Though, John was there every second of the way, comforting me with well wishes and kisses. Encouraging me. Telling me I could do this. Bring two little babies into the world with him staying by my side. It really did make everything easier to handle, easier to have someone and mainly him there for me.

When the time came for me to actually push, a daunting task. I screamed like never before. The pain was ridiculous. Hours of it, and before I knew it, I was okay with having gone through it as I had a tiny baby boy in my arms with his fathers hair and my eyes. How he was opening them after just coming out surprised me, but I loved it. He was so cute, screaming too, making me nearly laugh. It was good though.

Then it was time to go through it all over again for my little girl. Letting Cinder take our boy to clean him and check him off as healthy. And if I didn't know better, John was trying not to cry, but utterly failing.

Things...didn't go as planned...nothing goes as planned.

After hours more of pain, Jaime noticed that the home that was created as a birth channel was closing, and with that, the chance for our daughter to come out. So, an emergency procedure was put into place.

John was kicked out along with our son, and was told to stay out until he was called.

Jaime, using magic to cut me open, and since I can't have a anything to dull any pain during this, then I felt everything.

Nearly 40 minutes in, as I was watching the clock with tears in my eyes, Jaime pulled out my daughter. I smiled as I was handed her, and ow want sure if she was a red head like me or not, because of the blood all over her, but I would like to think she does. Dots started to cover my eyes and before I knew it I had passed out.

Johns POV

I held our son as I paced back a fourth outside, listening to my angel crying and screaming and feeling a twinge if it. I would have screamed too by now if I was feeling what he was feeling directly. This was harsh on me, I couldn't, I can't unsee the pained face he had and I never would. He was in pain, because of that block, and because of me....

Looking down at our son, cleaned and sleeping in my arms. I couldn't help but smile. His nose, so tiny twitched. His wavy and somehow already thick black hair atop his head was soft as I rubbed my thumb over it.

Frowning, I noticed that I couldn't hear anything, only the slight rushed movements of people moving. No baby crying. No Red screaming.

I stopped and stared at the door, my heart slowly starting to pick up in pace. Why was it so quiet? Why?

Feeling a slight tug at our bond I winced. Before feeling it strengthen again as a light started from within the room before glowing off.

Then finally, a loud screaming cry came and relieved me of my fears...they were okay. They're alright.

After a few moment I heard nothing again and I waited, only for a few seconds, before being let in by Cinder who was smiling uncontrollably. What I saw made my heart stop to take in the beautiful picture.

There Red was, looking as if he just woke up, holding our daughter, who was looking extremely grumpy might I add. It was a sight to behold. One if treasure for the rest of my life with him. He smiled at the baby who only grumbled and soon started to fall asleep. I just stood there...

Red looked at me and so brightly it hurt, in a good way. "We did it." He said sounding tired, relieved and in love.

Our son, River Snow Wilk, deep black hair like me. But had the big green eyes from his-is Red a mother or father? Well he got those gorgeous eyes from him, his nose is obviously also Red's. He was perfect.

So was Crimson Cinders Wilk. Curly red hair atop her small head, glaring red eyes but innocent if looked on a bit harder, curious and questioning if anything else. Her hands were tinier, and she didn't like being smothered ima blanket, instead shes okay with being in a little onzie. Red is sure she's the one who was always kicking me, she squirmed in my arms a lot.

But this was our beautiful moment, our start of a true family with each other, with Malcom and Reddison.

With our children.

With Red.

Soooo, this took longer then I wanted it to, my phone is bipolar, but it's still hard to type. Nearly 4,000 words there

And I've decided this is the end. Yes, sadly this is. In other chapters, in other books they will appear, why would they not?  Lol, but they'll definitely be in Goldie, and Cinder, and more later on. Maybe they haven't even met yet and so on.

See you guys around, this was a magical book and I'm glad I had so many readers reading it.

Love you all. See ya next time!
