“What's going on with Christy, Mom?” I ask as de pass me strapped up.
"I'm not sure, but if I had to guess, I'd say the feeding of your pack is scaring her. I smelled her fear when I stepped into the
room, but not having a mind link with her, I can't say where it's coming from?
1 connect with Quinn's mind, listening to him talk with Christy. He's being so gentle with her. I send love and pride through the
bond, so he knows I appreciate what he's doing I can tell that even though he's talking to Christy and still paying attention to
what's going on with me, he's also focusing on the pack and what's happening with Slater. My mate is so perfect
“Okay, I'm set here. Once Quirin returns, we'll get started my mom says,
"I really hope we can see our pup. That would be so exciting," I say,
"We're not sure how far along you are, so just don't get your hopes up too much. If nothing else, we should be able to get a
heartbeat. Actually, let's yet the heartbeat monitor wrapped around you now, I'll still wait to turn it on until Quirin comes in. I want
him to hear his pup's heartbeat the same time you do," she says.
I know that Quirin can feel my excitement and I can feel that he's getting excited too. He's also very nervous, which is sweet
"Was Dad nervous when he found out you were pregnant?" I ask her.
She smiles. "He was so excited. I only had the heartbeat at first. He listened to it ver and over, played it on repeat that first night
while we slept, I didn't know until
I had the ultrasound that there were actually two heartbeats in there. It's not always easy to find the second one, especially if you
don't know to look for it. Then, I told him we were having twins in front of the pack. He was about to go to war with Brady and I
wanted to make sure he knew he had a family to return to. He went a bit crazy at first. He actually started mumbling to himself. It
was pretty funny"
"Dad was mumbling? I've never heard him do that before, only you."
"He only does it when he's really stressed out. I've only heard him do it a few times. Both times he found out we were having
twins," she says laughing, "and maybe one or two other times when he was worried about you kids. It's pretty rare. Your father is
as tough as they come."
Dad's pretty awesome, but personally, I think my mate is tougher than Dad.
I immediately hear Raif purring in my mind, listening in. I hear Quirin warning Leo
to be careful with Christy before he comes into our room.
"How is our sweet Christy?" I ask him as he walks over to kiss me.
"Better now, I think. I'll check on her again after she moves back to the
packhouse. The energy in the pack was scaring her. Did you know Leo was her mate and he rejected her?" he asks me.
I just raise an eyebrow at him.
"Right. Of course you did," he says, leaning over the bed to kiss me again. "What is all of this?" he asks, gesturing to the
equipment Mom brought in for the heart monitor and ultrasound.
like to hear it when Kennedy did for the first time. Even if we can't see anything on the ultrasound, we'll be able to hear the
heartbeat."
He reaches out and takes my hand, squeezing it. He doesn't say anything, staring
at the equipment. Though the bond, I can feel his nervousness ratchet up along with his excitement.

"Do you want a chair, Quirin?" I ask him. Mom turns and looks at him, but he shakes his head.
"No, I want to stand."
She smiles at us. "Are you ready?"
I look at my mate and smile before nodding. Mom flips a switch and suddenly we
can hear the whooshing sound of a heartbeat.
I squeeze Quirin's hand, realizing that he's stopped breathing.
+53)
"That's our pup?" he asks, his voice so soft I almost can't hear him over the sound of our baby's heartbeat. His emotions are
getting stronger, swirling around inside him, and I swear I feel his heart, nearly ready to burst with excitement. I know
mine
1. is.
"That's your pup," my mom says distractedly, looking at the monitor.
"Mom?" I ask her.
She shakes her head, but she's frowning when she turns back to me. "Let's see if we can get an image of this little pup," she
says.
"What's wrong, Kennedy?" Quirin asks, looking from me to my mom.
I raise a finger, letting him know to wait. My mother should start mumbling any
minute and she doesn't disappoint me.
"Better to be sure. No sense causing chaos if I'm wrong."
Quirin looks at me, frowning. 'Chaos?' he asks in the mind link.
I shrug, but I have an idea of what my mother is talking about. We just had the conversation about twins this morning. I'm
guessing my mother is seeing a second heartbeat on the monitor but before she throws Quirin into the same level of stress that
Dad was in when he found out he was having twins, she wants to be
sure.
"Okay, Quirin, for your knowledge and understanding, this is a ultrasound machine. I won't bore you with the medical jargon, but
basically, the wand sends sound waves into Kennedy's body and when they bounce against something, it creates an image of
what that is on the screen."
"So, I'll be able to see our pup?" he asks, getting more excited and more
nervous.
we could see the head, the heart beating, and maybe a stomach. Our little pup is just a large peanut at this point," I tell him.
"Peanut, I like that. My Little Peanut," he says, smiling. His eyes never leave the ultrasound monitor.
Mom rubs the goo over my stomach and then begins rubbing the wand over my small baby bump. She rubs it around, pushing it
into my stomach, then clicks a button.
"See right there, Quirin? That lighter area? That's your pup's heart," she says.
He turns and looks at me, tears in his eyes. "That's our pup's heart," he says, his voice strangled with the intensity of the
emotions he's feeling.
I hold his face and kiss him, letting our love and emotions swirl between us. I'm
not surprised when I feel my mother continuing to move the wand around. I'm sure she's looking for that second heartbeat.
"Holy Mother Moon Goddess! No wonder Echo is still weak," my mother mumbles
and I pull away from the kiss quickly.

"Mother a
A moment later, there's a knock at the door and my father steps in
"Mother? What's going on?" I ask, getting nervous,
1 asked your father to come in, just in case Quirin needs some support," she says.
"Support? For what?" he asks, frowning at my mother then at my father who moves to stand beside him.
My father puts a hand on his shoulder. I'm right here. Everything is going to be okay," he says.
1 look back at my mother. "Is this about our discussion carlier? About twins?" "Twins? What about twins? We're having twins?"
Quirin asks, and his voice is getting a bit higher and he's talking really fast. Okay, so maybe mom was right to have dad come in.
1 reach out and take my mate's hand, but 1 focus on my mother.
"Not twins," she says, her gaze intense on mine. She reaches out to take my hand.
"Triplets?" I ask, my own voice getting softer as the possibility of having not two but three pups at once starts to settle on me.
"Triplets? That's three right?" Quirin asks in rapid succession. His emotions are pinging inside of him like a pinball machine that's
being played by an expert. I not sure he's breathing or blinking at this point, but I'm still focused on my mother.
She slowly shakes her head no.
"You're pregnant with quadruplets," she says slowly, her eyes staying focused on
me.
“Quad quad... quad is four, right? Four? Four? We have four pups? You have four pups inside you? That's more than one
peanut. I have a family of five? I... I...I turn just in time to see my mate's eyes roll back into his head and his body begins
to drop to the floor. Thankfully, my father catches him.
I stare as my father swings Quirin into his arms and carries him to a chair.
"Kennedy, are you okay?" my mom asks.
"I... I honestly don't know, Mom. Four? Are you sure?"
She turns and points to the heartbeat monitor. There are four lines on the
machine, showing different heartbeats.
She turns back to me smiling. "I guess it's a good thing your father talked me out
of having another pup. I mean, I knew your mate was passionate. But damn, my daughter, I didn't know he was that passionate."
