Three months later, Eddward is on his seventh month of pregnancy when a thought pops into his head. "Mon amour…" he says thoughtfully.
"Hmm?" Kevin absentmindedly responded. Lucas, Kevin, and Kev were working on getting cribs and other furniture made and put in the room. It was early summer and it was hot... Kevin has been steadily sweating for the past hour and they weren't done yet. He wiped his face off with his discarded shirt and looked over to his mother's room every time he hears her cough or Edd or Nazz come out.
Victoria gently opens the door and walked outside into the hallway as Eddward looks up from his book. "If I am to give birth," he begins and waits until his lover is looking at him. "Where are they coming out of?" he asks looking a bit curious and horrified.
"Out of you va-" Victoria says weakly then cuts herself off. "Oh, that's right, you're a man, aren't you?" she asks thoughtfully.
Eddward's eyebrow twitches in annoyance. "How did you forget that I am a man?" he asks trying to control his temper.
"Well, you are pregnant and just so pretty dear. I sometimes forget you have a penis" she replies pleasantly making everyone besides Eddward stifle a laugh.
Kevin quickly gathered Eddward into his arms and kisses him. "It's okay, I love you. Remember she's sick..."
Eddward sighs and nods. "Yes yes, I know" he sighs. "Alright, now that we have established that I don't, in fact, have a vagina, that still leaves my unanswered question."
"Well, I think we should just wait until the time comes. If the method doesn't present itself, there's always a C-section I can do. Speaking of, Nazz, I need to train you some more on deliveries and newborn c-" she was cut off by a large round of coughs that sounded terrible. Lucas was by her side in a second, Kev pushing past them to call for Edd.
"You need to be resting, Victoria" he urged.
She shakes her head "There's too much to be done..." the stubborn woman insists as Lucas forces her to go lay down.
"Well, that's comforting" Kevin sighs and leans his head against Eddward's shoulder. "She's getting sicker and sicker but Edd hasn't found a cure yet... maybe there isn't one? I'm going to lose my mother again, aren't I?"
Eddward runs his hands through the ginger's hair. "Mon amour, whatever happens we will still have each other and the little ones and we will be there for you... but you mustn't think like that, you must believe. Have a little faith."
"I'm trying..." Kevin released him and got back to work. Eddward sighs and looks after his mate for a moment before he returns to his book.
Two months later, Eddward is sitting there watching his mate play with his brother when he feels something strange. "Kevin?"
"Hm?" he asked quickly before being attacked again.
"I think the babies are making their debut... now!" Eddward says calmly as another contraction hits him and he blocks it from going to his mate's side of the bond.
"What?! Now?!" Kevin goes very pale.
"Yay! Imma be an uncle! Mommy! Nazz!" Daniel cheers and he runs off to let everyone know the good news.
"W-what do I do? I forgot what I need to do!" Kevin panics.
Eddward chuckles as another wave of pain hits him. "First thing you need to do is calm down, now help me into the room" he says reaching his hand out. Kevin grabs Eddward's hand tightly and leads him to the back room. His mother and Nazz rush past him and start asking Eddward all kinds of different questions: 'how much pain are you in?' 'How far apart are the contractions?' Kevin just stayed beside Eddward, holding his hand while he calmly answered all questions. "Okay, may I take a look and see what we are working with? If we have to do a c-section we need to act quickly. Take off your clothes from the waist down, please."
Eddward sighs softly. "M,on amour I can barely bend. I will need your help" he says calmly as the ginger helps him lay down.
Kevin lays him down gently "You okay? I mean, all things considered...?" Kevin asked with a tremble
"Yes, Kevin, I am fine" Eddward says gently. "Please calm yourself, I need you to stay calm... help me with my lower clothing." Kevin made quick work of Eddward's pants and underwear, all with shaky hands. His mother soon pushes him out of the way and back up to hold Eddward's hand.
Victoria sighs deeply and looks up at Nazz "get the scalpels ready Eddward is going to have to walk you through this... it's as I feared no opening has presented itself we are going to have to do a c-section."
"C-c-section...?" Kevin pales and squeezes Eddward's hand tightly. "I don't know if I can watch that..." he tells Eddward honestly.
"If you leave me alone, I will open this bond and make you feel every. single. thing" Eddward says smiling scarily and crushing his hand as Nazz begins setting up.
"Stop... it!" Kevin yanked his hand out of Eddward's grasp. "That hurts, ya know?"
"Give. Me. Your. Hand." Eddward says through clenched teeth.
"No! You nearly broke it last time!"
Eddward opens their bond and lets a wave of pain flow through before closing it "GIVE IT TO ME!" he growls his eyes flashing red.
From his position on the floor, Kevin shakily holds his hand up and gets to his knees. "Everything hurts... that was not nice, at all!"
"You should have given me your hand" Eddward says smiling pleasantly again.
"Kevin, some ground rules" Nazz calls his attention to Eddward's bare waist. "This is your mate's waist… I'm sure you're quite accustomed to it… I am going to be working from here down. You will be working from here up. You don't come down here and I won't come up there. Deal?"
Kevin nodded then halfway listened to Eddward and Victoria give Nazz precise instructions. As soon as the numbing agent had taken effect, Nazz cuts in carefully. Once the blood started to come, Kevin got suddenly very green and turned around to look at Eddward's face. "I think I'm going to be sick..."
"I will open this bond Kevin Barr!" Eddward warns through gritted teeth.
"Kevin, change of rules. Your Mom is too weak, I need you to pull the babies out while I keep him open!" Nazz says urgently.
"W-what?! I can't do that!" Kevin whines.
"Kevin, you have to! The babies heart rates are dropping and Eddward's body is under great stress" Victoria says firmly.
"So am I!" Kevin countered but followed his Mother's orders. Things then went smoothly and within the half hour, Kevin was holding their son while Eddward was holding their daughter.
Eddward smiles softly as he relaxes in the bed. "They are perfect" he says quietly.
"What shall we name them? You have any name in particular you're partial to?"
Eddward looks up at the ginger "Victor for the boy."
"Name the girl something totally different. Like Elizabeth or something" Kevin sat down on the bed, unwrapping his son and checking him over for the hundredth time. Counting fingers and toes, feeling his belly, and stretching out his arms and legs gently.
"Elizabeth? How wonderful, can we?"
Kevin grinned, looking up "I thought you would like it. It was my grandmother's name. Switch me?"
Eddward looks at his little girl then hands her over to her father before taking the little boy in his arms. "So sweet..."
"They won't be once they get a little older. Remember, Danny was 10 when we got him. It's worse before... and teething is gonna be a bitch" Kevin groaned.
Eddward chuckles. "We have no idea what is in store for us with vampire-werewolf hybrids."
A hacking cough was heard through out the house and Kevin's face turned sad. "I don't know how much longer she has... she's so thin and fragile. Edd feels he's getting closer but I don't know how much longer she will last. He found a cure to erase the brainwashing in Marie quickly, I thought it would be the same if not a little longer..."
Eddward sighs softly and reaches out tiredly to his mate. "Everything will be alright" he says softly. "Either way her suffering will end and that is what matters, is it not?" he asks.
"At least I got to be a Grandma for however long I will be here" Victoria walks quietly into the room and takes Elizabeth from Kevin's arms. Holding her tightly against her chest, she sat in the chair next to Eddward and watched her move and stretch. "She's very active. She must have been the one kicking your kidneys and ribs all the time" Victoria chuckled tiredly at Eddward.
Eddward chuckles. "Yes, unlike her brother, she is indeed very active. I think she is going to have black hair from the looks of it and Victor might have red."
"Yes, the darker blonde will most likely turn black while this strawberry blonde will flame up a bit." Daniel trotted in and looked at the bundle in his mother's arms. He smiled as he gently sniffed the newborn's head, getting accustomed to her scent. The baby powder made him back up and sneeze loudly.
"Did you just sneeze on my daughter's head?!" Kevin asked, irritated.
"No! I sneezed on Mama's foot! I couldn't help it..." Daniel explain quickly.
"It's true, he did..." Victoria snickered weakly.
"Mama, Daddy said you have to go back to bed" Daniel chimed.
"He doesn't control me, I do what I want" she said sharply, cuddling the small bundle close.
Eddward sighs softly. "Mon amour, calm down. They are fine. Victoria, why don't you go lay down for a bit and I'll make sure Kevin brings one of the babies in soon, how does that sound?"
Kevin stood and gently took Elizabeth from her grandmother and Victoria stood up weakly. "Alright, alright. Make sure Nazz comes in to tend to you, as well. If you need energy..." she points down to Daniel, who was currently rolling around on his back trying to bite his tail.
Eddward nods "I will, thank you. Please go rest."
Victoria left with Daniel on her heels, promising to be back later. "Why can't I have a normal brother?"
"Because he doesn't have a normal brother." Eddward snickers quietly his eyes heavy wanting to sleep
Kevin put Elizabeth in the crib then took Victor and laid his down next to her. "Do you want me to get Marie to watch them? They'll be up soon and hungry. I'm going to go hunting with Danny. Get some rest."
Eddward whines tiredly "I want my babies, let me sleep with them."
"You need sleep... it's okay... do you want me to stay?"
"No, I want to sleep with my babies."
"They are just going to wake up in a little bit and need to feed. Marie and Nazz can do that while you rest."
"Please, mon amour?" Eddward actually begs and using puppy dog eyes.
"You need rest... Don't get cranky with me when you don't get any because they wake up and you have to feed them" Kevin leaned down and gently gathered them in his arms. Kevin placed them beside him. "They are going to be sleeping in their bed at night, Eddward. It's good for them" he grins at his mate. Kevin kisses all three of them and leaves quietly.
Eddward scoffs 'that is what you think...' he sends through their bond as he falls asleep.
Kevin's deep chuckle sounded through their bond.
