Chapter Jenson
JENSON
Today has been weird, and then Bray says we are heading to TripleMoon for food. I thought we would be home more since we moved out, but apparently not. I’m not complaining, food is food, but when I step into the dining room, I know something is wrong. My twin looks shattered, and he’s nervous.
“Before any of you yell this was Ember's plan.” he taps his phone and the TV lights up with a photo of Quinny sitting on the bed with four perfect babies in front of her, the photos start to flick through of Ember with individual babies and then an extra of Embers shocked face as she holds a baby with Purple hair, rocking a nice set of Kitsune ears.
“Well, shit, there’s a mini-me with Quinny’s female sass, I’m moving back here!” Everyone laughs at my comment, Ren confirms they are all okay and are sleeping, so if we all get food now, we can see them after.
One by one, we head in to say our hellos, goodnights, well done and love you’s. I pretend to be distracted, finishing my dessert so I can go last, as I step into the room, Ember is sharing a confused look with my brother. I walk straight to her.
“Hey, Quinny, you did good, glad they look like you and not my ugly twin.” I chuckle, then kiss her.
“You want to meet your sidekicks, Trickster?” Quinny smirks at me, and I climb up next to her, doing grabby hands,
“Hit me,” I say to my brother, who passes me a dark-haired bundle. The blanket says Forest. I take a sniff, then frown.
“Hey, little guy, are you a little tricksy like me?” I glance at Ren, who nods,
“Yes, he has two forms like Bray, but he has a pup and Kit.” Ren passes a growly bundle to Quinny,
“At least we have Bray around to help, Dad said that Bray got stuck halfway between both a few times,” Quinny says, smiling before whispering to the bundle,
“It’s just Daddy Trick, Forest is fine.” I look away from the sleeping Kit in my arms, confused why Quinny would talk normally to a baby who doesn’t understand words.
“I take it we have a mini-Ren?” While she chuckles, my twin grumbles.
“Yeah, and Dante will only take food from mommy.” He moves Forest from my arms and lays him between mine and Quinny's legs before he places a pretty little girl in my arms, who promptly sneezes.
“So cute.” Quinny and I say in unison as Arya’s ears change to her Kitsunes,
“Mama said you always did that when you were little, your hair used to change a lot, too.” Ren passes me a bottle, I copy Ember's actions, and soon, it's chowing down.
I peek over Quinny to Ren's arms and notice Kota stitched on the blanket, and also notice the flash of red hair,
“Kota has the lost mage genes from my side, but he also has a wolf, none show signs of the Angel, but Xander is going to check their blood,” Quinny says quietly, watching me.
“So, you ready to start trying for the next lot?” I wiggle my eyebrows at her, and she knows I’m joking from the eye roll she gives me,
“Let’s get me back to normal, yeah? I think Darby’s head in shifted form can fit up there right now, and there is definitely an echo.” I wince at the description,
“Are you sleeping in here?” she tilts her head for a kiss.
“Please?” at her nod, and Ren’s grunt. I help Ren lay the babies in the cot. I found out it’s the one Mika bought for Bray, and they just got a new mattress for the new family members.
I don’t sleep, and neither does Ren; the memories of losing Mama so suddenly after our sister was born keep us awake.
Xander comes in four times to check Ember and the babies’ vitals before he just crashes on the couch, showing it’s not just us, he’s been tense with all the babies born, and I think he always will be.
