Here's the second to last chapter.

I'll post the last one later on today.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for the reviews.

Birth

Chapter 25

G awakened suddenly and sat straight up in bed. Something was definitely wrong. It wasn't a nightmare or a dream. He pressed his hand between his thighs. A wet dream? What? He hadn't had one since the chastity belt was removed four days ago. Maybe that's what it was then. Actually he hadn't had a wet dream since the chastity belt had been placed on him. As a precaution Linden had suggested that the device be taken off. Since then his blood pressure had dropped and his heart rate followed a day later. It was about time.

He rubbed his fingers together. The consistency of the semen was all wrong. G brought his hand up to his nose and smelled it. And the odor was equally wrong. He threw back the covers and ripped off the blood pressure cuff, sending the detached unit into an alarm mode. Great.

G rolled out of bed and stared at the sheets. Next he glanced at his sweat pants which were sopping wet.

This was no wet dream.

Linden rushed through the door. "In bed." He ordered his patient.

G pointed at the bed and himself. "Look."

Linden scanned both places with his jaw slacked open. "Let's get you on top of the covers. On your back. Knees up. You know the position by now." He drew the covers over the huge wet spot on the bed's center and then helped his patient onto the bed. "Yes, just like that."

"Sam."

"In a minute."

"Where is he?"

"Swimming.

"I messaged him. He's on his way."

G shivered. I need him…now.

Sam burst through the doorway in his NCIS bust-a-door-down fashion. "Is everything okay?"

"Yes and no." Linden grabbed some fresh linens from the closet and draped a sheet over his patient.

"Now you're freaking me out. What's going on?"

"What's going on? You're husband is going to give birth to your twins."

"What?" Sam's jaw dropped open.

"His water broke.

"The team has been alerted."

"Is it too early?"

"Must not be."

G glanced back and forth between the two men. "Would you two stop talking and help me out here?"

"With what Callen?"

"I feel like something's happening down there." G pointed between his legs.

Linden lifted the sheet. "This can't be happening like this.

"Sam bring me two towels. Make that three." Linden took one and tucked it under his patient's hips. "Lift up some more."

"What can't be happening like this?" G asked. "Come on Linden tell me what's going on down there."

Linden grabbed a second towel and laid it on the bed between Callen's feet. "Okay, push now."

"What?" G's jaw slacked open. "Push?"

"Yes, now."

G focused on the vagina that had to be exposed. He pushed downward like he remembered from the last birth.

"Okay, ease up." Linden pulled the sheet back completely. "Can you see the head, Callen?"

"Oh…I…yes. I can't believe this is happening right now." Tears welled up in his eyes. "It's shocking."

Linden swept his hands around the baby's neck. "Get on the other side of the bed, Sam, and help me out here." The position of Callen presented difficulties in handling this birth alone. If his patient had been on a gurney it would be a whole lot easier.

Linden and Sam guided the baby out of the birth canal and onto the towel.

Sam wrapped the wailing baby, a good sign, in the fluffy towel.

"Congratulations it's a boy. I'd give him a 10 which means no distress. Excellent," Linden said.

Sam brought the baby up to his husband's chest and laid him on it. "Here's the first one."

"I…no names…we didn't…."

"Hush sweetheart. Just hold him."

"Need to push again," G said.

Linden tucked another towel between his patient's feet. "Ready for you."

G focused again on his vagina. So odd to even think that he had a vagina. Yet for now he had one. He pushed downward and released his breath. And again he repeated the sequence.

The next baby's head popped through the vaginal opening. "Hold up, Callen." Linden felt around the baby's neck for a cord. Nothing. "Okay ready."

G pushed downward again and released his breath once more. This time he felt the baby move from his body.

"Another beautiful baby, Callen. Congratulations! It's a girl.

"A definite 10 again.

"Two healthy babies."

Sam wrapped the baby girl in the towel and she started to wail. "Looks like we've got ourselves some vocal babies." He brought their girl over to his husband's chest and settled her there next to her brother. "You should feed them."

"I can't believe this. I wasn't ready for this…right now."

"That makes three of us," Linden said. "Okay, time to release the placenta. Sam I'll need another towel.

"Where the heck is my team?"

"Want me to check?" Sam asked, handing Linden the biggest towel he could find.

"If you could."

"No, I need you," G said, eyeing his husband.

"I'll be back soon."

G watched Sam leave and shivered again.

"I'll turn up the heat for you and the babies."

G pulled back the towel from around the girl's face and body and gazed into her gorgeous eyes. Blue like his. G examined every inch of her body before he was satisfied. He brought her to his breast and offered her his milk. Immediately she suckled on his teat and took in her first meal. He tucked the towel around his daughter's precious body. G unwrapped his boy and examined everything about him including his dark brown eyes. He looked just like Sam. G wondered how long these looks would stay this way. In previous births, the changes happened fast with hair and eye color rapidly switching to some other color. That part amazed him. He offered his teat to the boy and he readily took it into his tiny mouth. G rewrapped his son in the towel.

"Excellent Callen. That's helping you release the placenta faster, and it'll seal things up afterward as well." With the placenta oozing out of his patient's vagina, Linden said, "Massage your abdomen."

"My hands are full."

"How easily I forgot."

Sam reentered the bedroom and took over that part. "Glad to see you taking care of your motherly duties this soon." He massaged his husband's abdomen, making certain the placenta was fully expelled from it. "How's it looking?"

"You can stop now.

"What about my team?"

"They're waiting outside the room."

"Good. We'll need to get weights and measurements."

"They weren't prepared for this."

"No one was prepared for this." Linden wrapped the placenta in the towel. "The vagina is sealing up tight. Amazing. This time it truly was a vagina. I wish I had been able to take pictures. Yet this all happened so fast.

"I'll get someone in here to change the sheets and covers out for clean ones as soon as Callen gets the babies fed."

G noticed his daughter had taken all she wanted, and he handed her off to his husband.

"I'll go take her out to the team."

"I need her close by," G said, snuggling with his son who was still feeding at his breast.

"She needs to be weighed, measured, and cleaned up." Sam leaned over and kissed his husband.

"I don't care if she's bloody. She's my—"

"I know sweetheart. She'll be back here soon."

G watched Sam leave the room. Linden left too. G wanted to say flesh and blood. She was his. Damn. Tears welled up in his eyes. He could no longer blame the hormones and pheromones. This was all him. His emotions threatened to overwhelm him. Never before had he felt this way about giving birth. Maybe it was giving birth through the vagina that did it. In the next minute, he got anxious thinking about whether everything was okay with his newborns. G attempted to keep his focus on his son in his arms yet his mind kept wandering, thinking about the possibilities that something was wrong. The twins were both tens on the Apgar score so they must be okay. Right? Yet they hadn't been sunctioned so how…damn. I'm the typical worry wart parent again. Wish I could stop myself. But I cannot.

Sam reentered the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed. "I'm here, sweetheart."

"And our daughter?"

"Everything is okay. Seriously."

"It's just that…."

"Nothing is wrong. I promise."

"The placenta?"

"Linden says it looks identical to the last one. That slight anomaly that he now recognizes."

"And?"

"She's and the placenta are normal beyond that."

G released the breath he had been holding.

Linden reentered the bedroom. "Everything is looking great for your daughter and the placenta. Let's get your son weighed and measured."

G handed off the boy to him. "You're not lying to me?"

"Come on, G, why would he lie to you?"

"Everything happened so fast and I thought…man…I thought something's got to be wrong."

"I did too. And now we know that the time frame after releasing the chastity device is five days. So we'll need to be better prepared next time.

"I think this is a new pattern for you. Though I don't know if it changes for anyone else going through childbirth. Just you."

"Anyone else?" G asked.

"Yes, after your interview…well, it went viral on the internet and you tube and a few other specialty websites set up for your pregnancy interviews. I've got men calling me. They're lining up to be the next man to become pregnant. And women are calling me and telling me it's about time men took up the slack."

G laughed.

Linden left with the their son.

"Finally women are getting a rest from their duties." Sam chuckled.

"I wonder if the men will like all of their motherly and fatherly duties," G said it more to himself than to his husband.

It's was great writing another story. Sorry to see this one end later today.

Thank you all for reading.
