Chapter 6 Preperation
It's been seven months since Vincent, JT and I ran to the safe haven. My poor belly looks like it's going to pop at any minute. Two more months? Really? I'm not so sure I could get any bigger. The babies are great and no more incidences of baby B transforming to protect me. Everyone has made sure to not cause me to get too excited or stressed. Oh how I miss excitement in the bedroom. Sure, I love making love to Vincent, but these hormones are driving me crazy. I just want to rip every stitch of his clothes off, and have my naughty way with him. He insists on being slow and gentle. (Big Sigh.) Evan comes today for my weekly check up and ultrasound. Today he's running behind schedule.
An hour later, A large box truck pulls up the drive. It was Evan. Definitely Evan. I could smell the formaldehyde from here. Vincent crept behind me, wrapping his arms around my belly. "You ready Catherine? He's here."
"Vincent, honestly how do you not gag every time Evan is around? The smell is turning my stomach from here."
"Catherine, after all these years, I've come across some pretty horrid smells. Him I can tolerate."
He walked around me and lifted my shirt placing kisses on my belly. "Babies, mommy and I have to come up with names soon. And we will, I promise."
The babies love the sound of his voice. They kick and squirm every time he talks to them. "Catherine.. Look at your belly. You can see them moving."
As I looked to my belly I saw distinct foot prints through my skin. That had to be the most amazing thing I've ever seen to this date.
"Hey Vincent, hey Cat, what's going on?" Tess walked up beside me.
Vincent looked up to Tess. "Look Tess, you can see the babies kicking." A huge grin swept across her face. "Oh my God Cat.. Wow, just…wow."
"I know Tess. Isn't it amazing?"
Just then Evan walked in. "Hey Vincent. I could use a little help bring in the supplies I brought for the birthing room." Vincent followed him out after a quick kiss on the belly and an I love you.
There were two incubators, and lots of gadgets and tools I knew nothing about, but I'm positive Vincent did. After the room was all set up, I took a glimpse inside. "Jeesh Evan, did you bring the whole hospital with you?"
"Cat, it's not like we can rush you to a hospital if something doesn't go as planned. I have to make sure that everything Vincent and I could possibly need is right here. As I told you before. There are so many complications with twins, anything could go wrong at any given moment."
I looked to Vincent. "But I thought everything looked normal."
"Catherine baby, nothing about your pregnancy is exactly normal. Everything looks normal, but we both know different. My DNA made sure of that."
Evan spoke up. "Cat, we're just taking every precaution to make sure you and the babies are safe. We will have to start monitoring you even closer to check the weight of the babies, see if we must do a c-section or not. Vincent has explained to me that he's not sure you will be able to deliver naturally."
Now what was that supposed to mean? Oh. There went the ten shades of red, straight to my cheeks. "Vincent." I whispered. He lowered his face to mine, "Catherine, I'm sorry. He had to know my thoughts. I won't take the chance of losing you or either of the babies, when a simple c-section could be done. It's not worth the risk."
I shook my head. What could I even say to that? That every ounce of me wanted to do everything as naturally as possible? No drugs? No c-section? No gadgets, or weird beds? No. I had to be at peace with anything and everything it took to keep my babies safe.
Vincent lifted my head and looked in my eyes. He could always read me. "Baby, I promise, we will try everything possible to do this the way you want. I know what you want and what you don't want. I just wish I could promise it will all go that way." Tears welled up and started to roll down my cheeks. These hormones I hate, and can't wait to be done with them. Vincent tilted my chin up, and looked me in the eyes. "Catherine, I would give my life to make sure you and the babies are safe and ok. Please don't cry."
"Vincent, it's these damn hormones. I hate being all weepy and crying at everything and nothing."
Vincent shook his head. "I know you Catherine. You're scared, and have every right to be. I promise, Evan, Tess, JT, and I are here. We will all protect you."
I took a deep, cleansing breath and looked to Evan sort of shrugging Vincent off. I didn't want to think of all the things that could go wrong. I certainly didn't want to get any more upset and set baby B off. Baby B, baby A. These babies need names, today. "Come on Evan, you ready?"
Evan nodded and the five of us set off to go check on the babies. After fifteen minutes of Evan and Vincent looking over the ultrasound, Evan finally spoke up. "Cat, you and the babies are doing great. They're growing just as they should, even though baby B is slightly larger. Funny thing is though, you're only seven months and the babies lungs are almost fully developed." I shook my head. "Evan is that a good or a bad thing." Before Evan could even reply, Vincent chimed in. "Catherine baby, that's a very good thing. It means if you happen to go into labor a little early, we won't need to worry about the babies having trouble breathing. It's not exactly normal, but it's good. Apparently the only good thing about my DNA I've passed down." I of course had to add my two cents. "Not the only good thing." I mumbled. Of course Tess spoke up. "Hopefully, they're as hunky as their daddy, Cat." I grinned at Vincent and Tess both as Evan cleaned my belly and lowered my shirt, covering up my huge belly. Evan looked to Vincent. "I have to go back to the city, make sure you call me if anything happens. Even is Cat is just worried about something. I can be here in four hours. First delivery though, that should be more than plenty of time to get here before the big show." JT laughed. "Hey man, if she even has a funny look on her face, I'll be the one calling you." Everyone giggled right along with JT. That boy would probably pass out the first sign of a contraction.
Evan packed up and left for the city. Vincent helped me off of the table. It seems almost impossible for me to maneuver my big belly by myself. I touched Vincent's cheek. "Vincent, can we go for a walk and talk about something?" Vincent nodded. "I'll get your shoes. Not too far from the house though. I'm not sure I could carry you back if you got tired."
"Vincent!" I elbowed him and he giggled. Oh that man. Considering I feel like a whale, that was so NOT funny.
After Vincent put my shoes on and tied them for me, (one more thing I can't do myself now) we walked into the garden and stopped to rest by the fountain. "Vincent we need to talk about baby names. We can't just keep calling them baby A and baby B."
"I know Catherine. Do you have any ideas?" Vincent sighed.
"Actually Vincent, I do. Baby B should be Vincent Ryan Keller, of course after his daddy. Baby A, I was thinking we should name after his uncle JT. John Thomas Keller."
Vincent's face lit up like a Christmas tree. The next thing I knew, He picked me up and was swing me around. "Oh Catherine, those are wonderful names. Let's keep it a surprise for JT until they're born. He'll be thrilled." I agreed and kissed him over and over. "Vincent I love you more than life itself. What did I ever do to deserve you?" He set me down and kissed me passionately. "Catherine, I'm the one who doesn't know what I did to deserve you, or anything you have given me."
The passionate kissing resumed and in moments I was dying to have him. I threw back my head and moaned. "Catherine, not here."
"Oh yes Vincent, here. I can't wait until we get back to the house. I need you inside of me. Now."
Fiercely he kissed me. Oh, it's about time. He swooped me up and carried me to the outskirts of the garden, under a large tree. He laid me down and proceeded to undress me. I shook my head no, and he was puzzled to say the least. "Vincent, help me up." And he did. He sat against the tree as I did a little strip tease for him. When I was fully undressed, I settled on his lap and took his lips to mine. His lips trailed down my neck and to my ever growing breasts and my extremely sensitive nipples. One twist between his tongue and teeth and I could already feel the ripples building in my core. "Oh Catherine, you're insatiable." His hand dipped between my legs to find my nub. I was grinding against his fingers, desperate for release. When he slipped two fingers in my core and teased, I exploded around them. Ripples shuddering throughout my entire body. Panting, I begged. "More Vincent. More." He laid me back to rest on his knees, and my legs spread wide. "More." Vincent could never deny me. He slipped another finger in my core, thumb never leaving my nub. My core clenched and throbbed. "More." He shook his head no. Damn it. Panting and breasts heaving I screamed. "More!" Slowly he slipped another finger, one more than he ever has before into my core. I was so tight around him. God it felt good. He twisted and hit the swollen spot inside my core over and over. I screamed his name. I clenched so tight I could have sworn I heard his fingers pop. I reached for his hand to pull me up and when he did I found his massiveness and sunk deep and fast on it. The suddenness almost making us both come apart on impact. His eyes flashed golden. Oh Hell yes. This is what I've been wanting for months. He spun us around and laid down on the grass to allow me to ride him without my growing belly restricting me. I rode him fast and hard and he growled, sinking his nails into my hips, fucking me from beneath as I moved. A few more thrusts on both of our parts and his blue veins appeared. I rode harder. He chanted my name as I did his. When we both came undone, it was explosive. I sat there, him still inside me, my body flushed with orgasm as his veins dissipated. Both of us panting, he sat up and searched my body. "Did I hurt you Catherine?"
"God Vincent no. But I think you're going to have to carry me back to the house. I'm not so sure my legs will hold me up after that."
He giggled and helped me dress and swooped me up and carried me back to the house. As we walked in Tess and JT rushed to us. "Cat, V, what happened is she ok?"
Vincent giggled. "Yeah, she was having a little trouble walking back." JT shook his head and walked away throwing his hands in the air. "Rabbits you two, rabbits."
Tess chased after him asking what the rabbits thing was all about. "You don't wanna know Tess. Trust me." Tess looked to us and we laughed, Vincent putting me down. "Oh. God! I get it. How do you two even.. uh…right now? Wait! I don't' want to know." She threw her hands up in the air catching up to JT. "Man, are they always like.. Rabbits?"
"Tess, you have no idea. I didn't sleep the first two months we were here." They continued into the other room, their talking turning to mumbling, and Vincent and I could no longer hear them.
Vincent turned to me. "Up for a nice hot bath Catherine?"
"Only if you're joining me Vincent."
Vincent walked with me to our bedroom and helped me undress while bath ran. When it was nice and full, he helped me in and settled behind me. I relaxed in the nice hot water, while he washed every inch of me. He definitely knew how to spoil a girl.
