Nathan POV 

"My dad has officially turned into a hormonal sixteen year old girl who has their first crush." Eric said walking into our bedroom with Nolan and Eden. 

"Well love, this is his first serious relationship in a long time. I mean he said it himself that he's always felt a part of himself missing ever since your mom abandoned him taking you along. All he had to fill that void was his job and rehab after his accident then back to work again. He needs a little romance to brighten his spirits." I said. 

"You're right, I guess I'm just still in shock and having a hard time digesting everything I've been told. I mean with this new crap, it's kinda hard to even find the will anymore to build a new bond with my mom." He said, sighing. 

"I know what you mean, but I also see the way you look at the three of them and you realize how happy you seem when you see your dad so happy. I also see how jealous you act. You've barely had any alone time with him to have any and all your questions asked or bond with him in general for that matter since we've been home so I get it." I said. 

"At least we don't have to worry about Holt needing to look over his shoulder now that they've all been found guilty. We just need to go to the hearing for sentencing. Everything is turning out better than how it was years ago." He said and I nodded. 

"True, but ever since Holt found out about Kase knowing those kids would be at the house, Holt has been pretty distant with him." I said. 

"He has, which is why I'm sending them away for the weekend. Kase may have been telling the truth but he still kept it from Holt and that's why he's truly upset." He said cuddling into me with the twins between us. 

"And I'm assuming you asked Caleb beforehand?" I asked. 

"Of course I did, I'm not pissing off Raja. That's a suicide mission." He chuckled. 

"Well good." I chuckled. 

"Since we're on the subject of bonding, why don't you invite your dad over?" I asked.

"They're all living on packlands now." I added. 

"Your point being? Just because they live on packlands doesn't mean they know what we do all the time to plan anything with us." He said with a glare.

"Just invite him over Eric, you complain you don't see him but yet you make no effort in seeing him either." I said and he huffed.

"Well ok sassy, what's got you all moody all of a sudden?" He said looking at me. 

"I don't know, ever since we got back from our honeymoon I've been moody and having these urges and honestly I've been peeing constantly." I said. I know there's a possibility I could be pregnant but It's only been two weeks and a half. 

"Well, there's a possibility you could be pregnant, but we can wait if you want." He said and I nodded. 

I don't remember passing out, but we did. 

"You guys please don't come back with any surprises. Caleb would be furious and kill us for allowing you to go unsupervised." Adin said to Holt and Kase. 

"We're not mating for a while, don't panic." Holt chuckled as he kissed the five of us. 

"Good." We all said in unison. 

And with that they left. 

"What time is your dad coming over?" I asked as we were cooking. 

"He should be here soon. They're all coming actually. I didn't want Baine and Gio to think I'm trying to push them away or anything." He said. 

"I'm sure they understand love." Vince said.

"Possibly but still, it's just the right thing to do." He said. 

A few minutes later, Baine, Gio, and Drew came over with their kids. 

"Hey, guys." We all said. 

"Hey." They said in their own way. 

"If you're hungry, food is ready." Vince said. 

"Ok great, We're starving." Drew said. 

"We just had food four hours ago." Baine said laughing. 

He was going to say something but stopped as he looked at Eric. 

"Well come on, let's eat." Seth said. 

"So how are things with the little ones?" Gio asked as we ate around the table. 

"Things are great, they honestly don't cry much." I said. 

"Lucky you." Gio and Baine said laughing. 

"Papa Nathan, can we go play outside?" Altan asked, referring to him and Baine's kids. 

"Sure kiddo." I said and they went outside. 

"How are you guys doing without Caleb? I know this isn't your first time but with the twins, just  getting married and all it must be rough to be one man short and have five babies all under a year old." Drew asked. 

"We're managing, there's usually three of us at home and Altan is usually a big help no matter how many times we say he doesn't have to." Eric said and Drew nodded and smiled.

"Well, I'm still waiting for my transfer to the San Francisco Police Department from Georgia so until then I'm free to help out." Drew said. 

"If it's no trouble we'd be grateful for the help." I said. 

"How are you three doing? I've heard a little bit from Eric but not much." I said. 

"We're great, we honestly sorta mated the night we found out. The kids love Drew, it's like he's become a part of the family just like that in a matter of a few hours." Baine said, smirking and making his mates blush. 

"Just couldn't control yourselves huh? And that's great the kids love Drew." I chuckled. 

"How could we, Drew is fine as hell and a natural with kids." Baine said all lovey-dovey without any filter. 

"I hope we're not expecting any new babies yet then." I smirked. 

"Yet." Gio said laughing. 

The rest of the day we just chilled and watched tv or played with the babies or the kids outside ultimately tiring all of us out. 

"I haven't ran like that since college." Gio said groaning. 

"We haven't run like that ever. Not when it's just been Altan most of the time unless Caleb's siblings are here or something or other." Adin said. 

"All I know is my body hurts." Vince said, struggling to move. 

What the hell happened to us? We all used to be athletes or worked out five days a week. 

"We have to get back into shape, this is ridiculous." Eric said. 

"We can start tomorrow." Drew said and we looked at him. He's the least exhausted out of the seven of us groaning or hurting. 

"Just go easy on us alright? We know how police training is rough. If it's anything like a military boot camp, I'm tapping out now." Vince said, making us laugh but groan in pain after. 

"What has you guys so tired?" Sebastian said, making us jump in surprise that he's here.

"Kids." I said and he shook his head while smirking. 

"And yet you were on sports teams. Boys you sure got lazy since you met your mates and had babies. You got comfortable living a lazy life. You need to get back to training like before so get up." He ordered and since he's an Alpha, we all got up. 

"Do some stretching for a few minutes to get your body loose." Sebastian said and we all stood in a line and followed his movements to stretch. 

"Ok now we're going to go on a run. Seth you don't need to run but at least walk around the block a couple of times while we run." Sebastian said and Seth nodded and we all took off running at a steady pace as Seth started his walk and he blew us a kiss when we made the first round around him and I winked and he blushed. 

"Ok take a breath before your next thing." Sebastian said and we took a drink of water. 

"Seth, Liam is going to be here with Weston to do yoga with you, he and Weston took yoga when they were pregnant so they're going to show you some exercises that are safe for you to do and it will also help when you're in labor." Huh that's awesome. 

"Ok great, thank you." Seth said and smiled when Sebastian patted his shoulder. 

"No problem kiddo. Now you guys drop and give me fifty push-ups." Sebastian ordered us so we did as he said and by the time I was done, my mates were as well. 

"Ok good job, now give me a hundred jumping jax." I know he's taking it easy because this is nothing compared to his training he has done. 

A half an hour later we were all panting and breathing hard as we got done running ten miles.

"Ok that's it for today. Every other day we will do this to get you guys back into shape. You have young ones you will need to keep up with so you need to be in shape. You notice how Caleb is when he gets done with soccer and comes straight home and plays with the kids and mates with you? He's in shape and has a high stamina so he isn't tired as much. You'll be good in no time." He winked as we were calming down. I looked over at Seth and he looked so calm and relaxed and so beautiful in the afternoon sunshine as he was laying on his back beside Liam and Weston. 

"Ok I'm taking my mates home now and you guys have babies to go pick up. See you Monday morning at seven." Sebastian said and I helped Seth up from the ground and then they left.  

“Um daddy?” Eric looked at Drew and he smiled at his son.

“Yea?” Drew asked and Eric walked over to him and hugged him.

“Can we go do something, maybe just you and me?” He asked and Drew smiled and cupped Eric’s cheek.

“Of course we can, whenever you want and wherever you want to go.” 

“Tonight and dinner.” Eric said and Drew smiled and kissed his forehead.

“You got it kiddo.” Drew said and Eric sighed and hugged his dad.

“Come pick me up around seven, I would drive over to you but we’re limited on cars right now with Caleb being away.” Eric said and Drew nodded.

“Ok, I’ll be there.” Drew promised and Eric smiled. 

“Ok, Baine and Gio, see you guys later.” Eric said and hugged them and it was sweet, he’s slowly coming around to them it seems. 

“Yea, see you later Eric.” Baine said and then it was just us so we went into the house to go take a shower. All my mates naked and wet, is such a sight to see. I love watching them all wash one another and feel each other up and please each other while trying to shower. I finished quickly and got out so they can finish their stuff because I know if we all get started we won’t get out of bed till the morning and we can’t do that, not with babies and Eric has plans with his dad. I got on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, not going out so might as well be comfy. 

I was in the kitchen with the babies, all five of them in their bouncer seats on the island. The twins were sleeping and the triplets were watching me as I cooked.

“So babies, what did you do today?” I asked them and Odin looked at me with his brows furrowed and I made a funny face and he smiled around his binky making me chuckle.

“Well that sounds like fun.” I said and he giggled and I smiled at him. Calvin and Alvin were also looking at me and I kissed each of their little foreheads and they giggled making me smile.

“I love you babies.” I said to them and Nolan and Eden started waking up and Eric came in and picked up Nolan, he was shirtless so he knew the babies were going to be hungry and sat down and Nolan started to eat as Eric caressed his cheek and looked up at me and smiled.

“Hi there.” He said and I smiled.

“Hi there. Are you excited about spending time with your dad?” I asked as I checked the chicken in the oven.

“Yea, it’s going to be nice spending time with him alone after all these years. I still can’t believe Caleb.” 

“We have an amazing mate love, what did you expect?”  Vince said walking in wearing shorts and a tank top, all my mates were wearing almost the same, guess they had the same mindset as I did. 

“I know we do. You have the DVR set for his game tomorrow night, right? Altan won’t be home to watch it so he asked if we can record it.” Eric said and Vince smirked.

“Of course I do. It’s his biggest game so I have it set to record the pre show and the game and afterward, don’t worry. Altan won’t miss a thing.” Vince said and picked up Alvin when he started to get fussy. Seth picked up Calvin and Adin picked up Eden so I picked up Odin and waited until Eric was done nursing Nolan before I placed Eden in his arms and took Nolan and burped him. 

“Do you feel better now champ?” I asked the squamry baby and he settled down after I rubbed his back and swayed back and forth to rock him because he loves to be rocked when you stand with him, it is the only thing that works when he’s crying and after he’s done eating. Once all the babies were nursed, we were sitting down to eat while Eric was pacing the dining room. I knew he was nervous but it’s his dad, not a date with someone.

“Eric calm down. It’ll be fine, just relax.” I said and he looked over at me and sighed.

“You’re right. I guess being alone with him after so long is just getting to me. I know we talked but it wasn’t a long conversation and we got married, left on our honeymoon and came back so we haven’t had the time to talk. I’m worried about what he’s going to do after well if I tell him about my mom. Should I tell him about her?” He asked us and I wanted to say no but I can’t make that choice for him.

“You do what you feel is best Eric. That’s the only thing you can do. You can wait and tell him another time so you enjoy your night with him or you tell him and try to enjoy your night but if it’s going to worry you, you will be stressed and it will get in the way of your night so maybe you should. I don’t know.” I said and he was about to say something but the doorbell rang and he went to answer it. 

“Hey daddy.” Eric said when he opened the door.

“Hey son, are you ready to go?” He asked and Eric said yea came in and gave us all a kiss and a hug.

“We love you, have fun and don’t stress.” Vince said and Eric smiled and nodded.

“I love you guys too and I’ll try.” Eric said and walked out.

“Well now what do you guys want to do? The babies are sleeping, the kids are away for the weekend so what do you want to do?” Adin asked as we cleaned up the kitchen and we all looked at one another and smiled. 

“Supernatural!” We all said and went to the living room to turn on Netflix and I went to our list and put it on. We watch it when it’s quiet or when we’re in bed for the night and aren’t tired before going to sleep.

“Now if I didn’t have you guys and Dean wasn’t a hunter, well you get the picture.” Vince smirked and we chuckled. 

“Agreed.” We all said and laughed when Vince gasped and swatted at us. I grabbed his hand and kissed it.

“I love you crazy.” I said to him and he blushed and cuddled up to me.

“I love you too Nate.” He said and we got comfortable and watched a few episodes of season five before we started getting tired. 

“Hey loves.” Eric said softly when he walked into the living room seeing Vince and Seth sleeping.

“Hey, how did it go?” I asked and he sat down on the chair.

“It went really good. I told him how things have been since he ‘died’ and told him about my mom. He said he knew she wasn’t a nice person, she always had some chip on her shoulder but he didn’t think she was as bad as she actually is. We went to dinner and we went to play a few rounds of paintball. It was fun.” He was smiling a breathtaking smile and I loved seeing him so happy.

“I’m glad you had a good evening love. The babies are all sleeping so want to help us with our sleeping mates and go to bed?” Adin asked and Eric smiled and came over and picked up Vince and I picked up Seth and we carried them up to bed. 

“Caleb should be home by the end of the month right?” Eric asked and I nodded.

“Yea, after the game you know he has some talk shows to go on and a few stops to make before he can come home. The only thing that sux is he will miss Seth giving birth.” I said and he sighed.

“Do you think he will retire soon? He’s the age Christian retired and he became the captain of the team.” Adin asked and I shrugged.

“I don’t know. He hasn’t mentioned it or talked about having someone replacing him so I’m not sure. He’s young and in shape and can still play like never before so I doubt he will anytime soon. He has worked his ass off since I knew him and even before to get to where he is so no matter how many more years he does this, we will be here for him cheering him on like we always do.” I said and they nodded. I have seen him play first hand and so have they so they know how he is. How talented he is, how passionate he is about the game so if he decides to do it for as long as his body let’s him, well so be it. 

We have learned from other’s to always support our mates dreams because it is important to be there for them. Mated couples from both sides of the family have gone through hell in not being there for their mates so we make sure we are there and always will be. Caleb and Adin had a very rough long start but now, it’s like that part of their lives never happened by how much they love one another and if it weren’t for their hardship, we wouldn’t be where we are today. I would still be hurt or worse, dead from all the pain I was in by the many rejections I faced so I’m thankful for the hell before the peace. 

“Well let’s get some sleep. We will be up in a few hours for the babies so let’s enjoy the peace while we can.” Eric said and laid down so Adin and I joined our mates and I sighed and kissed my mates before cuddling up with Adin and I listened to their heartbeats slowing down as they drifted off to sleep. 

Yea, life is pretty damn good right now. I have amazing mates and beautiful babies and wonderful kids, something I never thought I would have. I hope this peaceful happy life goes on for the rest of my life with no more issues.
