46. Axel #3
The sound that leaves her lips grates on my nerves.
It has nothing to do with her and everything to do with the fact that I should be the only one to cause her to make sounds like that…
any sounds at all, for that fucking matter.
My legs are jumping to put me back on my feet and stop this woman from touching her, but my wife has already told me to relax twice now.
She’ll just do it again, and I need her to stay calm so they can figure out what the fuck is wrong with her and fix it.
The sound of whooshing fills the air as we wait for what feels like too fucking long, until we finally hear a fast-paced thumping sound causing my breath to still and a lump to stick in my throat.
The doctor’s voice eventually cuts through. “Ah. I think I know what’s going on now.”
My legs uncross and I rest my elbows on my knees like somehow it’ll help me brace for what’s coming.
“Your bloodwork is normal for your gestational age, but I’m not surprised you’re having some cramping and more discomfort than usual.
It can happen with twins since everything is growing and expanding at twice the speed as usual. ”
“D-did you just say… twins?” Wrinley chokes out. “Like not one… but two babies.” Her voice is shaky while she squints to see the screen.
My eyes do the same as I try to make out what the doc is seeing. “Are you sure there are two?”
“Yes. I’m sure. See?” her finger points to two different blobs on the monitor. “Head A and Head B. It would appear they’ll be identical too. It’s a touch too soon to tell the sex, though, but we can do that at a regular appointment if you’d like.”
“Um. When do I need to make an appointment? We haven’t done one yet. Well, we had one scheduled for next week, but this happened first.”
Doc reaches into her pocket and pulls out a shiny white card.
“Here’s my card. Let’s follow up in a week to get you on track.
You really should have come in sooner, but the first time is overwhelming and you’re here now.
Just keep in mind this could happen again.
Don’t panic. Just take it easy and if it persists for more than a day, call my office right away.
I’m going to grab a copy of the pictures for you from the printer. I’ll be right back.”
The second she leaves, Wrinley whips her head to face me with a mix of anger and confusion written all over her face.
“You… you fucking did this to me with. I should have known with a cock like that, you’d have super sperm too!
” she chastises in a low, but rushed tone.
I know she’s still talking, but I’m not actually hearing anything she’s said.
I can’t take my eyes off the monitor that shows our little, fragile babies growing in their mother’s belly.
She can yell at me all she wants. It won’t change what we’ve created.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m shocked. But parts of me mixed with parts of her to create those two blobs and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything so pure in my life.
They definitely got that bit from their mom.
I wonder what they’ll get from me, but realistically I hope they get as much of her as they can carry.
I stand and tear my eyes away from the screen to really look at Wrinley, then back to the screen to our children, then once again back to their mother. My heart thumps wildly against my ribcage, picking up speed with each glance before I’m sure it’s about to beat out of my chest altogether.
Time slows as I take it all in.
She stops yelling at me, choosing to instead stare at me with a scowl painted across her features that promises certain death if I make any sudden moves. She’ll have to make good on that promise then, but it will be worth it to make this one.
“I love you.”
Wrinley
“I love you.” My heart skips a few beats as I take in the three words I never thought I’d hear uttered from Axel Bradley’s lips. Especially after he confessed he didn’t know what the words meant.
“What happened to not knowing what that means?”
“Wrinley Anne Jaymes, I’m pretty sure you’re the exception to everything I’ve ever thought about myself or this fucked up life–”
“Axel–”
He reaches up and presses a hand over my mouth. “Would you let me fucking finish?” I nod, hoping he’ll remove his hand but the asshole in him prevails, refusing to budge. “What I was trying to say before you so rudely interrupted, was that I get it now.
“All my life, I’ve had to survive on my own.
Take care of myself because no one else was going to do it.
But I know now, that the hand I was dealt was shitty, but I can make a choice to not let it be shitty for my own kids…
and for you. I thought I hated you for having a perfect life–perfect parents.
But there was also something in me that felt the need to protect you from piece of shit bullies like that kid that pushed you off the bus all those years ago.
“Then your mom died, and I watched you lay there… so defenseless in that hospital bed and something changed. That need to protect you and keep you safe grew into something else. You know how the rest went, but I’ve been so consumed by you.
You’ve unknowingly engrained yourself into my marrow, taking up residence and changing me for what appears to be the better. ”
I can’t even be bothered to stop the tears that come at this grand confession. My poor broken boy, who never knew what love was, is now somehow full of it.
“As much as I wanted to help you, you–somehow–flipped it and fixed parts of me that you had no hand in breaking. I didn’t think I knew what love meant, but I was wrong.
“Wrinley… Your lost soul matches my broken one. Together, we’ve come together to make not one but two complete, whole…
well, they still look like fucking blobs…
but one day they’ll be whole children. As fucked up as it sounds, I actually want this–all of it–with you.
You can’t tell me you haven’t been worried about me and us and the pregnancy.
Hell… it is definitely my fault, and I can tell you I definitely didn’t think it through when I made it happen, but I’m sure as fuck glad I did.
“I fucking love you and I love those blobs,” he declares with all the certainty I could hope for as he points at the tiny babies in my belly.
My heart is full as I stare up at this man and let the tears flow freely down my face. “Are you sure, Axel?”
“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my entire goddamn life.”
“Will you please kiss me?”
He answers my request by slamming his lips to mine, putting his entire weight into the kiss, hard and fierce, just like him.
He doesn’t have to wait for me to open and allow him entry.
Our tongues dance in perfect tandem as I wrap my arms around his neck to pull him even farther into me.
My pussy throbs at the aggression and dominance begging to be set free. I need to get the fuck out of here.
“Oh, excuse me,” I hear and we break apart to see the doctor holding the pictures up for us. “I’m so sorry. I just brought your pictures.”
I risk a glance at my man and then back at the doc and with a mischievous grin, ask, “Doc, can we still… you know?”
“My feral wife wants to know if we can still fuck.” Axel breaks in to assist. Such a romantic.
“It should all be safe,” she chuckles with a slight blush. If she only knew the things he likes to do, she might think twice. “Just listen to your body. If anything feels off, call me. With twins, we’ll monitor you more closely as well, so you should be fine.”
“Thank you,” I tell her with a tight nod and she steps out to give us more privacy. Smiling, I look back up at my man. “How hard was it to say the words?” His eyebrows raise and I know he knows exactly which words I’m referring to.
“It felt pretty easy at that moment, but I don’t know if it will always be that easy. Just know I always feel it, even if I don’t say it.”
“I’ll make you a deal. If it ever feels too hard to say…
just say you hate me and I’ll know what you really mean.
” It’s the oddest thing to suggest… I know.
“I’m pretty sure some of the times I told you I hate you, I already loved you.
I just didn’t know how to say it. But, I think I’ve always loved you on some level.
So I guess I’m just as broken as you, huh? ”
His lips tug into a smirk. “Maybe that’s just what makes us perfect for each other, baby.”
“Then, I love you too, asshole,” I say as I pull my lip between my teeth and grin. “Now take me home, so you can do terrible things to me.”
“I have no problem doing that, but there’s something you should know first.”
