One Year Later

Lexx sat in her grandmothers large living room watching TV, Remi was at Sanctuary working. They really didn't need the extra money because of the trust fund she had inherited from her grandmother, but he didn't want her to ever want for anything. Lexx was watching the video from their wedding, it was so beautiful. Aimee had been her Maid of Honor and Vane had been Remi's best man. They had been married only a month after he had proposed to her, but the night he had proposed was when they had bonded. She could still remember how it felt for the first time to be so connected with Remi; it was one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. She couldn't believe that a year had gone by already, and all that had happened within that time.

Lexx smiled as she felt the babies kick, she placed her hand over the spot and felt him kick again. She still didn't know if they were boys or girls, she had wanted to wait until their birth to find out. Remi wasn't too happy about that decision but he respected her wishes. She looked up when she heard the front door open, Remi must be home. She slowly stood up and waddled out of the living room to the front hall. As soon as Remi sensed her in the room and he hurried over and kissed her.

"You should be resting, that's what the doctor said. You're due any day now." Remi said softly into her ear.

"I know, but he also said that walking will help to induce labor. Their already two days late, I just want to see my babies." Lexx replied, with a bit of desperation in her voice.

"I know you do and so do I. I want to know if I have strong boys or beautiful girls just like their mother." Remi smiled, remembering when he saw Lexx's first ultra-sound. He placed his hand on her stomach and the babies immediately began to kick his hand, knowing that it was their father's touch. "Whoa settle down there tikes, your going to give your mother bruises."

Lexx couldn't help but smile as Remi spoke to her stomach, communicating with his unborn children. She knew he was going to be a wonderful father.

Remi straightened up and looked down at his mate. "Alright lets get you to bed, it's late." Without any struggle at all Remi scooped her up in his arms and carried her up the stairs to their room. He placed her in the large bed, then stripped down to his boxers and climbed in beside her and covered them up.

Lexx fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow; she always slept like a baby in Remi's arms. Remi wasn't too far behind her as he placed his hand protectively over her swelled belly.

Lexx woke up to a sharp pain in her abdomen and a wet feeling running down her legs. She gasped as the contraction hit her, the pain went all through her abdomen, thighs, and back.

"Remi…" Lexx said trying to wake him up. She reached behind her and hit him in the arm. "Remi wake up the babies are coming."

Remi sprung out of bed when he heard what Lexx said. He ran over to her side of the bed, threw the covers off of her seeing her pajamas were soaked. He scooped her up into his arms and hurried her to the room they had set up for the birth. After he got her settled on the delivery table he grabbed the phone to call Carson.

"Hey Carson, you need to get over here now. Lexx is in labor." That was all Remi had to say before Carson said he as on his way with Mama. Remi's mother was a mid-wife at Sanctuary for the women who came there to safely deliver their children. Now that his children were being born, he wasn't sure what to do but he knew he had to stay calm.

Remi stood next to Lexx who was going through another contraction. He grabbed her hand and let her squeeze it, had he known how strong a woman in labor could be he wouldn't have done it. "Okay baby, you can loosen up on my hand a bit please." He got down on his knees and begged her to let go. "Please baby you're going to break my hand."

"You're in pain? You think you know pain? I'm never going to let you touch me again you stupid fuck. I'm going to have Bride's father neuter you." Lexx growled out between her panting breaths and another contraction tore through her.

Just then Carson came into the room trailed by Mama, Papa, Aimee, Vane, and Bride. Carson set down his medical bag and began to set everything up while Mama cut Lexx's pajamas off of her.

"Okay cheri I'm going to check how much you have dilated." Mama checked Lexx and then stood back up. "Damn, the first babies head is already crowning. Hurry up Carson!" Mama then shooed everyone except for Remi and Papa out of the room. Papa stood on the other side of Lexx opposite Remi and took her hand.

"Alright everything is ready; let's bring these little ones into the world." Carson said as he helped Mama get everything that she needed.

"Okay Alexandria, I'm going to need you to push with all your heart." Mama proclaimed.

About thirty minutes later Lexx was balling her eyes out as she held her babies. She had had a boy and a girl. She had decided to name them Micah and Aaliyah. Remi had a huge smile in his face as he picked up Micah from her arms and cradled him. Remi couldn't help but think he had the best of both worlds he not only had a strong son, but he also had a beautiful daughter. Of course his son looked like his mother and his daughter looked like her father.

Remi looked down at his wife and mate as she held their tiny little girl in her arms. "Lexx, did you really mean it when you said you were going to have me neutered?"

Looked up at him with love in her eyes and smiled. "No I didn't. If all that pain was to produce these two wonderful babies then it was all worth it. And I'm willing to go through it again."

Remi let a grin spread across his face. "And I'm willing to give you more babies, because the process of conceiving them was quite fun if I say so myself."

Lexx slapped his thigh and gave him a mock glare. "Oh behave yourself."

All Lexx and Remi knew was that they were the happiest couple on earth right then. They were with their one true love, they were mates for eternity, and they had the most beautiful children that they could ever ask for. Life wasn't so bad after all.

The End
