Chapter 125:
Alley POV:
I swear to the goddess I am going to pop any down now. I only have a few more days and I feel as big as a whale, my feet look like I am wearing puffer fish as slippers according to Alex and Brandon but in reality my feet are just swollen, not that I can see because I can't see over the ginormous belly that has sprung out. I literally can't do anything on my own, hell I can't even balance properly because I waddle everywhere. "Good morning princess." Stephen says as he walks out of the bathroom looking more than good. "Don't look at me like that, Julie said no sex until after and I'm not getting in trouble." Stephen stated narrowing his eyes at me. I may have gotten him in trouble a few times but what can I say? My hormones are out of control. "I'm not even sorry, can you help me please?" I asked to take the covers off of me. I want to shower and try to get my day started. Stephen walked over and grabbed my arms sitting me up, he placed one hand at my lower back while still holding one of my hands so I could stand a little easier. "I started the shower for you already and everything is placed up high so you won't have to bend over or squat down. Sammie will be here in the room so if you need her just call her, me and the others have a meeting today and we want all you ladies to relax." Stephen said, kissing the top of my head.
"What is the meeting about today?" I asked, "We are building a castle for the council room and for the yearly balls and celebrations that may come, we just need to find a place to build it and we need to make sure it is big enough to fit seven packs plus the vampires and dark witches." Stephen replied, smiling at me. Right, how could I forget that? "I need to talk to Pythia about renaming them from dark witches. They may practice differently but they aren't bad people." I replied as I waddled to the bathroom. "Talk it over with the girls and see what y'all can come up with. We will see you all at lunch, I love you my princess." Stephen yelled out, making me giggle. "I love you too, my shield." I yelled over my shoulder. I decided to take a little longer in the shower, I took time rubbing my hands over my swollen belly, "I can't wait to meet you both. I wish I knew what you were though.. your daddy wanted it to be a surprise." I huffed. I wanted to know so badly but Stephen didn't want to know, he along with the others decided to wait until birth. So we picked unisex colors out which is a lot harder than you think. I'm the only one with twins, I had hoped at least one of them would have twins too, they all looked adorable while I looked like a beached whale.
"I hope you two know how much love you're going to get" I said giggling as they started squirming around. "Easy now, don't break a rib. Y'all have come really close lately." I said tapping my finger against the side of my belly. I decided it was time to get out, as I stepped out of the shower I felt a pain in my lower abdomen. I grunted out, stopping dead in my tracks. "Sammie, I need some help please." I rushed out breathlessly. Sammie came bursting through the door, "Alley what's wrong?" Sammie said, her eyes swirled red. "I'm okay just a little pain is all, can you help me dry off please." I said taking a small step. She grabbed the towels off the counter and handed me one. I started to dry my face when I felt another pain. I tensed and took a sharp breath. "Alley let's sit you down, come on." Sammie said, grabbing my arm. I waddled slowly towards the bed when another pain hit me, this time a little harder than the first two. "Fuck.." I hissed. "I will alert Stephen." Sammie said quickly. "No, no it's fine. Julie said this would happen. Maybe the babies are hitting something." I replied trying to keep her from tensing. "I think I'll just wear my large sundress. I don't think any sweat pants will fit at this point." I said giggling.
I slid the sports bra over that had built-in pads since breast milk started leaking out, Sammie helped slide the dress over myself and I decided to wear my slippers. Those things are much more comfortable. "Alright let's get you and the babies some food." Sammie said as she helped me up. As we walked out I started feeling shortness of breath, these two are really kicking my ass lately. We took one step at a time and that seemed like a lifetime just to get down the stairs. Another sharp pain hit both my sides and I doubled over. "Ow.. shit. You two need to calm down in there." I hissed. "Alley maybe I should call Julie. I don't like you having pains like this." Sammie said. Before I could answer Jack appeared in front of us. "What's wrong?" Jack asked, his eyes swirling like he was about to murder someone. "ALLEY! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Stephen belched out panic laced in his voice. "We are down here! Calm down I'm fine!" I yelled back. I could hear Stephen bolting down the stairs, I swear the man is going to break his neck going down them. "Like hell you're okay! I felt that! Stephen said checking me over head to toe, I swatted at his hands. "Stop it, I am fine." I said. "I've called Julie." Stephen huffed. "You didn't." I said, narrowing my eyes. "Oh he did." Julie said, walking in the doors. Shit, now I am going to be in trouble.
