Chapter three

"I'm nervous." I was clinging to Alex's hand pretty hard at this point, we were waiting for the doctor to see our baby for the first time.

"I know baby. But everything is going to be fine. I promise." Alex squeezed my hand reassuringly. "I will be with you every step of the way. I promise to support you."

"Okay, we ready to see your little one?" the doctor cam in to see us. I layed down on the exam table and he squeezed the cold gel onto my stomach and began waving the wand around. We weren't expecting what happened next. "OK, so as you can see there's two images here I'm pointing to. So that means we have two babies to watch this time." He said smiling at us.

I'd made Alex stop three times on the way home so I could throw up, I think I was still in shock when we got there. "Well all the morning sickness makes more sense now baby." He was smirking at me, his eyes kept darting from my eyes to my stomach and back. I wasn't sure whether he wanted to scream with excitement or throw up himself.

"Yeah. So how are we telling our parents?" As excited as I was I knew that they had been just as devastated by the miscarriage as we had. They had been so supportive and helped out when I needed it with Emery, but at the same time I knew this was still so soon after everything.

"We can wait a bit if you want. There's no rush. Wait until your feeling better Ben can help out more than mum for a couple weeks then she wont get so suspicious." Alex's arms were on my waist pulling me into him. "And on that subject. Mum's got Emery for the night so what does my lovely wife want to do this evening?"

It wasn't hard to tell what he had in mind, I could feel him growing hard against my thigh. "Well as much as I love the subtle hint pressing into me. I would actually really like to take a bubble bath." I was struggling to keep myself from smiling as I said it. I really wanted him to join me but I didn't want to tell him that. I liked watching him squirm when he didn't know what I wanted. It didn't take more than a few seconds for him to realize as his hand slipped under my chin puling my face up to look at him.

"You wouldn't want some company would you?" His smile was huge at this point and I knew he wasn't taking no for an answer. His princess was giving him twins no one was popping his happy bubble tonight.

As Alex went to run our bath I decided to call his mum and say goodnight to our baby. It was the first night I hadn't been the one to tuck my little boy in and kiss him goodnight. I felt like a part of me was missing. When I wandered into the bathroom Alex was already laying back enjoying himself. "I thought this was meant to be my bath?" I asked jokingly as I started to undress. His deep blue eyes clouded with lust didn't leave my body for a second, he watched me more intensely than I had ever seen him do before. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it into the tub or not tonight. I felt like he was eating me alive with his eyes. As I stood in front of him naked he licked his lips, the look in his eyes was making me feel a little uncomfortable about it. He sat up a little straighter to let me slide in onto his lap and the warm water helped me to relax.

"You alright honey?" He asked as he kissed the back of my shoulders.

"Mmhmm, I'm fine. You just looked like you might jump out and eat me that's all." I layed back on his hard chest and his hands moved down to my stomach.

"No honey, I was just admiring my hot wife." I could feel him smiling as he whispered in my ear. Slowly he moved one hand down further and parted my thighs as the other worked it's way up to my breasts, kneading the soft flesh as he worked me. His cock was hard pushed into my back as his hands worked together rubbing my clit and pumping into me over and over until i couldn't hold back anymore. I came with a loud moan as he picked me up turning me around so I was straddling him. He eased me down over his erection and brought my face down to claim my lips with his. As we spent our time exploring each others bodies pushing each other further towards the edge of oblivion until the water went cold and we moved to the bed. He made sure I was well taken care of that night. We laid in each others arms as I came down from my sixth orgasm listening to the rhythm of each others breathing as we evened out and fell asleep.

Our blissful state was broken suddenly at four am when a round of morning sickness started again. I knew Alex should have been sleeping, he had to be at the office for a meeting at eight but he never left my side. Finally he went down stairs to let me shower and get dressed. "Feeling better baby?" He asked as he brought over a cup of tea and sat it in front of me on the island counter.

"A little. Umm honey what are you doing?" I smiled up at him as he brought me in for a hug.

"Well I was up so I thought I may as well make breakfast." He smiled back at me. Everything was feeling so normal again, I was getting my prince back. I knew it was going tp be hard work to get threw this pregnancy, but if I had Alex at my side I knew we could do anything together.

"When would you like to tell our families?" I asked leaning back into his chest.

"I'll ask mum and dad round for dinner tonight, if you want?"

"That sounds good. I'll ring my parents later and invite them as well."

The day seemed to pass so slowly. I'd been reading and looking up baby names most of the day, I didn't even realize that I hadn't organised dinner yet until Alex called to tell me that his sister wanted to come as well. So we decided to make tonight a party. I called Kimberly and Ben and made a trip to town for groceries. Even with our twins growing inside me it still felt like part of me was missing. Emery was still with Alex's parents and it made me very nervous not to be the one who was watching him. 

I had been feeling good this afternoon but once I started cooking I realized that tonight was going to be harder than I thought. The smell of all the meat mixed with the veggies and the cream for desert wasn't sitting well with my morning sickness. I was doubting my ability to get through a meal with all our family without having to leave to be sick. So I messaged Alex and within minutes Ben was at the door. 

"What are you doing here?" I wasn't expecting him at all. I opened the door wider to let him in and he followed me back into the kitchen. 

"Your husband said you could use some help. He can't get off work until four so he asked me to come round." He had everything set out ready to make the cheesecakes as if he knew what I wanted him to do. 

"I didn't know you could cook." I said as he was surprising me already since I didn't have any recipes for him to follow. 

"There's a lot you don't know about me. Now do you want one cheesecake or little individual ones?" He smirked at me. this man will be the death of me. 

"Just make one big one I should have started it earlier it might not even set." I didn't want to push my luck with him, at this point he was the only one who could help me. It didn't take long for me to be back in the bathroom throwing up again. Maybe I was crazy but the next few months felt like they were going to be very long. 

"Hey Scar, do you mind if I do a fresh garlic bread for dinner?" He sounded too close for comfort, I'm in here emptying the contents of my stomach he doesn't need to see this. It's disgusting. Once I was done I flushed the toilet and washed my face and hands before turning around to meet his concerned face. 

"That's fine with me but I don't want you doing too much. Your already helping me out more than you know. I can't deal with the smell of any of that, I feel ridiculous." Oh great now I'm gonna cry he must think I'm a mess. 

"Scarlett you are pregnant if I wasn't willing to help out what kind of friend would I be? Hmm now go sit down and relax I'll make you some tea. Alex wont be far away and you know he would tell you the same thing." He raised an eyebrow at me before pulling me into his chest and hugging me. 

With a giggle I looked up to meet his grey eyes with a nod of agree-ance, "You know your just like a big over protective brother." I say as I head towards the living room. "but I still love you wall the same." I threw out over my shoulder as I sat down turning on the television set. 

"And your a pain in my ass but I think I love you too." He threw back switching the kettle on getting two mugs out of the cupboard. 

"You know," Ben started setting my tea on the coffee table in front of me and taking a seat on the couch beside me. "I don't mind helping you out when you need it Scar. I've always seen you as my little sister, I would always protect you from everything if I could. Alex doesn't open up easily but if I had known about the baby I would have been around more. You guys don't need to deal with those things on your own you know?" 

Sipping my tea while I contemplated his words knowing full well he was right. I didn't cope well with the loss on my own and Alex was worse it would have been nice to have someone else to talk to when I was feeling down. "I know, Ben. I know. It was hard for all of us. Alex completely shut down for a while. I couldn't get him to talk to me. I didn't know how to bring it up to anyone else after that." I mumbled looking down at my mug. Ben's hand made its way into my vision. His fingers slid under my chin pushing up until I was looking at him again. 

"Scar, listen to me. I know it's hard, I know how Alex thinks we've been friends long enough to know that how each other works. He needs a push when he gets like that. Maybe the boys and I should have seen it earlier but "we didn't. When we did get to him it took more than just a push to get him to see sense. I told him if he didn't come to his senses soon I was going to help you move out and that I'd personally make sure Emery didn't know who he was." He was looking at me with sadness in his eyes. "I mean it Scar. If he ever treats you badly again I will be here to pack his shit and get rid of him before he can blink. I honestly do think you are incredibly hot, you don't realize the effect you have on men. But more than that you really are my little sister, and no one hurts my family."  

I didn't know what to say he's always been such a great friend but I always thought he'd side with Alex if anything happened between us. Setting my mug down I gave him a warm smile and moved closer on the couch so I could give him a hug. "Thank you." Is all I could manage in a quiet whisper before he pulled away and got up to continue cooking. I really don't know what I would do without Ben in my life. I hope we can all get threw tonight in one piece and show me that this is going to work out. I'll have everyone I love here with me for support. 

"Honey how are you holding up?"Alex asks from behind me. Turning around and climbing onto my knees on the couch to hug him I reply, "I'm better now that your home." Kissing him deeply to show him just how much I've missed him. I only have to get threw the next few hours and then I can have my handsome man all to myself.
