She felt like she'd been stomped by a heard of elephants, she looked at the clock, seven am. The twins would be awake soon, and waiting breakfast. She slowly sat up, scooting to the edge of the bed, taking it a little at a time to get up. She got to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Shit! She looked like hell, and that was an insult to hell! She splashed water on her face and tried to get her bearings, she didn't have time to be sick.
She remembered going up stairs while Kerrianne fixed dinner, that girl must have canceled her date to take care of the babies. She walked out of the bathroom and froze when she saw Fillip standing in the doorway of her room.
"What do you think your doing?" He asked.
"Being a mom." She started to walk around him, he picked her up and laid her in bed.
"You will be spending the day in bed. I'm taking care of you and the twins."
"I'm fine." She tried to get up, but he pushed her back down.
"No argument Lass!"
She laid back against her pillow, too tired to fight him, she knew she was sick, she fell asleep again. He gently shook her awake, she opened her eyes and stared into his dark brown eyes. God she loved his eyes! Stop it! Don't get drawn in, he'll only hurt you again!
"Are you hungry, love?" She made a face at him and tried to hide her face. "Drink some juice? Gemma brought some soup." She sat up and he placed a tray on her lap. She picked up the glass of juice and took a sip, wincing in pain. He felt her forehead. "Christ, you're still burning up! I'm taking you to the doctor."
She shook her head no and made a face at him, he cupped her face and looked into her eyes. Damn it...not the eyes again! She closed her eyes as he caressed her face.
"I don't need to go to the doctor."
"You've been out voted, Gemma is down stairs watching the twins, so I can take you. So get dressed." She crossed her arms and just looked at him. "I can and will dress you and carry you out of this house Genevieve Caitlin Telford!"
He'd done it now, she was good and pissed! She was tired and just needed rest, not bossed around by her soon to be ex-husband. He picked up the tray and sit it on the dresser and waited. "Do you think I'm playing?"
He pulled back the blankets and picked her up, he stripped her and carried her to the bathroom. She reached in the shower and turned it on and stepped in, he leaned against the counter waiting for her. The hot water felt wonderful, she washed her hair, she reached out for a towel, he wrapped one around her body. He took another and dried her hair.
She was feeling tired, she leaned against him for support. He picked her up and carried her back to the bedroom and got her dressed. "I'm taking the tray to the kitchen. I'll be right back."
She was perfectly capable of walking down stairs on her own, she followed him. Gemma was sitting on the couch playing with the twins, she looked up at Gen.
"You look like hell baby!"
"Thanks mom!"
"Damn it, Lass!"
He picked her up and carried her to the car. "I can walk, Fillip!"
He drove her to her doctor's office and waited with her, he went in the exam room for her appointment.
"Nothing serious Gen. I do want you resting for the next three days. Do you have help with the twins."
"I will be helping her." Fillip said.
"Plenty of fluids, make sure she eats, and rest!"
"Thank you." Gen said.
They left the doctor's office and drove back to the ranch. She walked in the door and sat on the couch by Gemma.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine...he over reacted."
"What did the doctor say."
"I'm fine."
"She lies!" Fillip said. "She's to rest for the next 3 days."
"Do you need me to take the twins?"
"No, I'm staying." Fillip said.
Gemma smiled at her daughter and left the ranch.

"Go up to bed!"
She rolled her eyes at him, and continued to sit on the couch. He picked her up in his arms and carried her to the stairs. "I'm fine."
"The doctor wants you to rest, I need you healthy and whole!" He leaned in to kiss her, she turned her head. His kiss landed on her cheek. He carried her into the bedroom, he laid her down on the bed. He looked into her eyes, brushing the hair out of her face. "I love you with all my heart!" He kissed her forehead and walked out of the room.
She rolled over on her side and cried. What the hell was going on with her heart and brain? Which did she listen to? If she followed her heart she was just asking to be hurt again. But wasn't she asking to be hurt if she let her brain lead? She fell asleep crying into her pillow.
"Love, wake up. It's time to eat."
"Go away!"
She heard him chuckle and felt him sit on the bed beside her. "You need to wake up and eat."
She rolled over and sat up, looking at him, he looked into her eyes. She tried to look away, he caught her chin and brought her face up to look into his. "Lass, I can see the storm brewing in your eyes. Tell me what's wrong."
"It's nothing." He leaned in and kissed her, she didn't pull away. She kissed him back, he pulled her closer to him. His hands went into her hair, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I've missed your kisses. Holding you in my arms...Gen!" The twins came running in from the other room, jumping on the bed stopped them.
"What are you silly babies doing?
They laughed and climbed on Fillip. "Da,da, da!"
"Hello my loves!"
She laid back on her pillows, he looked down at her, he placed a free hand on her stomach and smiled at her.
XXX
She smiled at her husband laying next to her in bed, he opened his eyes and looked at her. "Good morning love." He caressed her face leaning over and kissing her good morning. He pulled her to him. "I love you."
"I love you too!" He gently nudged her legs apart and slid inside her, she arched her back. She moaned his name, he trailed kisses down her neck. She raised her hips up to meet him. Her arms went around him, pulling close to her. "Don't let me go."
"Never again, Lass!" She wrapped her legs around his waist pulling him in deeper. She moved her hips meeting his movement, they met their climax together. He rolled them to their side, pulling her against him. His hand resting on her stomach, he kissed her ear.
She was climbing out of bed when his clamped on her thigh. "Where are you going?"
"Shower, then food."
He pulled her back into bed. "I'm going to make breakfast, you're going to stay put." He got up out of bed, getting dressed and leaving the room.
She heard the twins waking up, she got up and went down to the nursery. She changed them, got them dressed, and carried them down stairs to the living room. She sat them down, they walked over to Fillip.
"Da, da, da!" Fillip and Mackenzie were jumping up and down wanting to be picked up.
"I thought I told you to stay in bed."
"Our babies had other ideas." She walked over and kissed him.
"You're suppose to be resting!" He laid his hand on her stomach. She held his face in his hands and looked into his eyes. "Go sit down and rest."
She walked over to the couch and sit down, the twins followed her, "Ma, ma, ma!"
She pulled the twins up on the couch and cuddled them. Fillip leaned over the couch and picked up the twins. "Breakfast is ready!"
She got up and joined her family at the bar, she smiled at Fillip and kissed him.

"I'll see you at TM, later this morning?" He asked.
"I'll drop off the twins for mom to watch, then we can go to my doctor's appointment."
"See you in a bit love." He leaned in and kissed her. "I love you!"
"I love you too!"
She watched him leave for work, she went up stairs and took a shower getting ready for the day. She was planning the twins first birthday party which was Saturday. Of course the whole MC was invited, they were family. She had so much to do, and so little time to do it, she didn't want to bother Fillip with it, she'd get it done,
She packed up the twins and headed to TM, she pulled into the lot and got out of the car. She got Fillip and Mackenzie out of the car and sit them on the ground, they walked into the office, with help. She collapsed on the couch, already exhausted and the day had just started.
"Baby, are you all right?"
"I'm just so tired mom. I was never this tired with the twins."
"Do you need help at home?"
"No."
Fillip came into the office and saw his wife laying on the couch. "Lass, are you all right?"
"I'm fine." She stood up to fast and fell forward, his arms went around her waist.
"Christ, love!" He picked her up and carried her to the car.
"Put me down."
"I'm telling your doctor how tired you are. You are doing too much!"
"Fillip, I'm the mother of active one year old twins, and I'm five months pregnant. I'm going to be tired."
He didn't say anything on the drive to the doctor's office, he helped her from the car. She checked in and sat down in the waiting room, her name was called. She got up and went into the exam room, Fillip followed her in.
"How are you feeling Gen?"
"Fine. Tired as usual."
"She's doing too much, she almost passed out on me." Fillip said.
"I got up to fast."
"Your blood pressure was high this afternoon. I want you on bed rest until your visit next week. No stress! Go down the hall for your ultra sound."
She left the room a little perturbed at her husband, they checked into radiology and waited. She was called back into the room, she climbed onto the table and got ready.
The tech moved the wand over her stomach. "Do you want to know the sex?"
"Yes." Gen answered.
"Congratulations is a girl." Fillip leaned down and kissed her. "

She was sitting on the porch resting, watching her babies playing with her uncles. Thanks to her mom, and the other old ladies the party was planned and was going off without a hitch. Fillip walked up on the porch, he leaned down and kissed her.
"How you feeling, Lass?"
"I'm doing great!" She smiled up at him.
She really wanted to be up, playing with everyone else, but to keep the new little one safe, she was going to sit here and rest. She heard a car pulling down the drive, she looked up to see a little sports car pulling up in front of the house. A scantly clad young women got out and , walked up to the porch and stopped in front of Gen.
"Can I help you?" Gen asked.
"I'm looking for Fillip Telford." She giggled.
"And you are?"
"I'm Lucy, his girlfriend." Fillip walked up, she turned at that moment and ran to him jumping into his arms and wrapping herself around him, kissing him.
Gen heard him say "What the fuck!"
Gen didn't wait for an explanation, she got up out of her chair, took two steps and collapsed.
