Chapter 3:
I woke up again for the second morning in a row to find the right side of the bed empty. I groaned and threw his pillow at the door. I heard low voices down below, probably in the kitchen. I groaned again, but not because of the pack or that Gabriel was still gone, but because pain seized in my stomach.
I clutched my stomach and I knew I was early. I was in labor. I was in labor and Gabriel wasn't here. I was in labor and my mate, the father of these children wasn't here.
"Get up here now!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed with all my force. I stood up still screaming in pain to grab sweat pants and one of Gabriel's t-shirts.
The Four and Bucky came running up the stairs. Willem began to knock on the door but I threw it open.
"Get me to Persia! Now!" I growled my teeth growing slightly. They all looked scared. None of them knew what to do. I pushed past them and growled in pain.
"Help, you bastards!" I screamed at them. Willem and Bucky helped me down the stairs and into the back seat of the car. Ulf was calling Persia to tell her.
I grabbed Ulf's shirt and jerked him down as he started calling my mother, "Call Gabriel now!"
Ulf stuttered, "But….but…..he...is probably on his way home."
"I don't care, Ulf! Call him and leave a dam message!" I pushed him away and pushed my face into the cushion of the seat. Tears started falling faster then I could wipe them.
The door shut and we were driving to Persia's.
Gabe's POV (Point of View)
I was sitting near a small stream after running home all morning. I had put my clothes and my cell in a bag that I held in my teeth. It slowed me down, but I did it anyway. The pack that moved in had wanted no trouble and would stay away and would not endanger our pack.
My cell rang. In human form, I answered it, wondering why Ulf was calling.
"What do you want Ulf?" I asked sticking my toe in the water. I watched tiny fish swim up to it and nibble on it.
Ulf as usual stuttered, "Vivian…she…she…"
"What, Ulf?" I jerked my foot out of the water. "Spit it out! Is she hurt! What happened?"
"She's in labor!" He yelled back at me. As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the phone was in the bag and I had run in my wolf form. I was about fifteen miles from our house. How could I leave her? I asked myself.
I ran as fast as I could. Trees were a blur as I raced there.
Vivian's POV
I was sitting on one of the beds in the extra room Persia had for patients. The pain was still there, but Persia said that once I had the kids it would be over. I was too drugged up to care.
"Is he here?" I asked looking over to Esme who was glaring at me for unknown reasons.
"No." She said coldly.
I looked over at Ulf, "You called him right?" He nodded, "Did you get a hold of him?" He nodded again. "Did you ask him how far he was?" He shook his head no.
I growled. Then I heard Bucky come pounding up into the room with Jenny behind him.
"He's coming! We saw him!" Jenny said smiling.
"He's coming!" I said smiling to myself. Gabriel bounded into the room. He was out of breath.
"Did you…have…the….pups….yet?" He asked between breaths.
Persia brought him water, "Sit down, child." Tomas brought a chair over to the bed and he walked over and sat down.
He leaned up and gave me a kiss. "How far were you?" I asked him.
"About fifteen miles. I had just begun to stop because I ran all morning when Ulf called." He said holding my hand.
Ulf muttered something. Willem smiled, "Vivian, we are so going to make fun of your screaming and yelling at us later."
I glared at him. "You just wait. I will have three extra Vivian monsters to attack you four." I laughed as they all looked scared. They recovered quickly.
Persia walked back in with gloves on. "Alright. It's time. Who stays and who goes?" She asked walking slowly. Somehow, she looked younger when she was helping someone.
Everyone, but Gabriel walked out of the room without waiting for my answer.
Gabe's POV
I have to say that Vivian did not scream that much during the process. She just squeezed my hand tighter and tighter. I thought it might break, or I might scream in pain instead of her.
"It's a boy." Persia had said for the first one. Vivian smiled up at me. The next pup came in less then two minutes. My hand was numb and I barely felt her squeezing it. I chuckled at Vivian's expression.
"It's another boy." Persia said cleaning him up quickly. "Ready?" She asked Vivian. Vivian bit her lip and nodded.
After a few pushes and screams from Vivian, I heard a tiny wail. Persia smiled as she cleaned the last one up.
"Well?" Vivian asked, impatient.
"A girl."
Vivian slumped back into the bed. "I have to say she was the hardest." I laughed. Vivian looked up and smiled at me.
She let go of my hand to wipe the sweat and her hair from her face. I felt my hand begin to feel again.
Persia wrapped them in blankets after cleaning them. She wrapped the boys in blue blankets and the girl in green.
"Ready?" She asked us.
We both nodded.
Vivian's POV
They were beautiful. The little girl had quieted down now as Persia handed her to Gabriel. He sat down and played with her tiny hands. Persia picked one of the boys up and placed it in my outstretched hand. Slowly, she went to pick the other up and did the same in my other arm.
"I'll give you a few minutes before letting the others in…and I won't tell them." Persia exited the room. She hadn't even shut the door before I heard Esme ask what they were.
Persia answered, "Werewolves, Esme. How slow are you?" The others laughed.
I sat up and placed them on the bed in front of me so I could play with them. "They are so cute." I said smiling up at Gabriel who was playing with the tiny girl. He set her down in the middle.
"We haven't even thought of names," Gabriel said.
"Hm…I'll name a boy, you name the other and we decided on the girl." I told him. He smiled and we both looked down at them.
He sighed, "Ok. This one can be named Cole Alexander." He reached down and brushed his fingers over Cole's tiny fingers.
I looked at the other little boy. He had a tiny birth mark under his eye and tons of freckles already forming on his cheeks. "Logan…Logan…Logan Ryan." I said after a thought. It was either Logan Ryan or Logan Stone.
"Now this tiny little angel." I said to Gabriel. "Veronica?" I asked. The baby started to cry.
"I guess she doesn't like that name." Gabe chuckled. "How about Reed, sweetie?"
"I like that name, but middle name….Reed Skye?" Hunter started to cry. Gabriel shook his head and laughed. "Reed Kiley?"
Reed smiled up at us. "That's a yes." I said. I peered down at each of them. "Hi, Cole Alexander. I'm your mommy." I told the baby on the left. Cole started shutting his eyes and I could hear a tiny snore coming from his mouth. "Hello, Reed." I said to Reed next playing with her tiny fingers. She was still smiling. "She looks like you, Gabriel." I told him. They both had those beautiful big eyes and that crooked dimpled smile. Moving on to Logan, who had already fallen asleep, I said, "Sleep tight, Logan." I told him.
"Can we come in now?" Rudy asked.
Gabriel looked at me and I nodded. Everyone walked in careful not to wake them.
"Everyone…"Gabriel said softly. "Meet Logan Ryan…Reed Kiley…and Cole Alexander."
Everyone awed. Gabriel leaned over and gave me a kiss. Persia came in with bottles for each of them. Gabriel picked up Logan and set the bottle in his mouth. Logan woke up and sucked greedily.
Gregory walked over, which surprised me "Do you want me to help?" He asked.
"You want to help?" I asked surprised even more.
He laughed, "I know. Ever since Rafe died…" Everyone was silent for a moment, "I tried to stay in the back round. Well, I'm tired of that and I mean come on, Viv. Your kids are like little puppies you get on Christmas."
I smiled and handed him Cole. Persia handed him a bottle to feed Cole. I picked up Reed and stuck the bottle Persia gave me in her mouth. It wasn't long before everyone left and the triplets were asleep.
"You sure we don't have to stay?" I asked Persia again. I always thought that humans stayed in the hospital for at least two days.
"Honey, you are not human and I am way smarter then a doctor." She smiled and helped me put them in the back seat of the car. Persia turned to Gabe, "You might have to get rid of the Harley soon, Gabe. Trade it in for a mini van." Gabe's face was shocked.
"Really? But…my Harley…" He said.
I laughed and put my hand into his, "You don't have to sell it, Gabriel. Stop worrying. Plus we can go for that new Jeep Commander instead of a mini van."
Persia rolled her eyes, "If you have any problems call me."
"Thank-you Aunt Persia." I told her giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Gabriel opened my door for me. I hopped in already feeling lighter. I couldn't wait for tomorrow to go for a run. Tomorrow…I drifted off to a sleep while Gabriel drove us all home.
Littlegirlwolf: Well, that was the third chapter. Let me tell you that it took my two hours to figure out the names for the pups and it was HARD! I'm still not sure if they are all right, but whatever. Review, Review, Review! Fourth chapter coming up!
