CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
MAKAYL
This year is definitely better; all four of my kids are trying to win a game of musical statues against the oldies, who are claiming they are not cheating by sitting down to dance.
My father has never smiled as much as he has with my baby girl around.
Lilliana finally agreed to fully bond with me.
My kids are happy and finding their forevers.
I know Bastille is ready, but I’m glad it’s not hitting us all at once, or some celebrations will be lost in the mayhem. I watch as Lily wanders to each of my children and then heads inside. I decide to follow when I notice my children are following her like little ducks,
“I know I’m doing this an odd way, but it’s the way that feels right.” Lily pushes me, so I’m sitting, and I see Ember push the three boys down, all three glaring at her. She just turns and looks at Lily.
“I found out this morning that I’m pregnant” Silence, I can’t even hear breathing,
“I’m around three months.” Again, no one moves, no one breaths,
“DAD,” Ember growls at me,
“Erm,” is my only response, causing my daughter to roll her eyes at me,
“I can’t wait, I’m going to be a big sister” She hugs Lily and then pulls back,
“Single? Twins? Triplets? Quads?” Lily laughs and covers Ember’s mouth.
“Twins and I would like to find out the sex before you start firing off more questions.” I finally snap out of my stupor,
“I love you; I am happy, just shocked.” I kiss her and hold her close.
“Xander bless him, came to me in a flap, your injection was due the day Ember came home, and in all that excitement, he forgot yours, Luc’s and Nic’s. He was so apologetic, but we went straight to the clinic and took a test.” I kiss her, I don’t care,
“We are still going to be the best set of twins.” I hear Brayden whisper, and he gets an elbow to the gut from Ember,
“It's not a competition, Bray, let’s hope one isn’t greedy like you and steals the height, muscles and alters, even though from what Xander found out, it could be genetic.
” I hear a thump, and then the kids start to bicker.
I just hold Lily, and we watch our children fight about who’s going to be the best older sibling.
I just silently wish nothing goes wrong with these two.
