The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

Chapter 260 - Ultrasound (2)

Brenda was in her chamber, waiting for the couple to show. Brenda was a mature thirty-six year woman, yet she found good company with the twenty-three year old Dawn. The girl was so much more mature than her contemporaries she ever met. What she didn't know was that Dawn was subjected to a lot of hardships ever since her mother died and then after her father's murder. She liked talking to her mostly because she talked sense and also because she was smart.

She gave a huge grin when she saw her favorite couple walking inside her chamber. "How is the mommy doing?"

"By Skadi! Brenda I am nervous," Daryn blurted.

Brenda stared at Daryn with a raised eyebrow. "Okay mommy dear, please follow me to the ultrasound room."

Dawn giggled but Daryn was damn serious. "Yes." Then he turned to look at Dawn and asked, "Is your bladder full?"

"Please leave some questions for the doctor too," said Brenda as she walked out of the room.

Daryn ignored her and mouthed Dawn, 'Is it?'

Dawn nodded.

Brenda was in for a surprise as soon as she opened the door. There were three more family members who had accompanied the couple. She rolled her eyes. "None of you will be allowed to enter the ultrasound room."

The thing was that the three men followed the doctor. They looked more like three musketeers or three clowns or whatever…

Now the author rolls her eyes!

The excitement was palpable. When they reached the ultrasound room, the men stopped on the outside as they watched Daryn and Dawn going inside. The door closed on their face and the waiting began.

"How are you feeling Dawn," asked Brenda for the first time. She wore her gloves and looked at the monitor of the machine. The nurse had left it on.

"I am good Dr. Brenda," said Dawn nervously rubbing her arms.

"You will be fine Dawn," said the doctor. "Lie on the bed and lift your shirt."

Daryn stood a little away from the two of them, but he really wanted to hold Dawn's hand. His eyes were fixed on the monitor. "Can we know the sex of the child?" he asked at length when the doctor applied gel on Dawn's tummy.

"Not now Daryn," she said as she evenly applied the gel on Dawn's stomach. She switched on the probe and slid it across her tummy. Then slowly she took it down. She pointed at the screen and said, "Your bladder is full. Good job. I will be able to see it nicely." She took the probe lower and lower until she stopped at one place. Then she tilted the probe left and right to get better views. She pressed her foot on the side of the machine to take several pictures from various positions. Once that was done, she knew that a very curious father aka mommy was standing behind and watching the screen without blinking and with thousands of questions in mind. She smiled seeing Daryn in a totally new avatar. Taking the probe to a certain point, she clicked a picture and said, "Do you see there?" she pointed at the screen.

Daryn was beginning to see images clearly on the screen. He nodded. The parents stared at the screen as goosebumps prickled their skin.

"Those are your babies," said Brenda, freezing the monitor.

"My babies…?" his eyes were wide with shock. He pressed his hand on his mouth. "Skadi have mercy!" He looked at Dawn who was smiling and giggling in between. "I have twins coming." His gaze darted between Dawn and Brenda. "I am going to be a father of twins!" He looked at Dawn. "Dawn!" he sat on the bed and hugged her tightly. "You have given me two babies. Oh man!" He was breathless. So many emotions passed through his mind. From being predicted that he wouldn't ever have a child, to having almost getting her wife aborted, to all the mental stress that Pia gave and her efforts to ban Dawn from the tribe, now—he was going to become a father of twins. For the first time he cried when suddenly he became choked with emotions.

Dawn felt tears against her cheeks and she cupped his handsome face in her hands. She kissed his lips and said, "Daryn, don't…" She could understand his emotions, those unspoken words, and all the love that became stronger than ever.

"I love you baby," he said between his tears. "I love you so much."

"I love you too," she said softly as she pressed another kiss.

Brenda smiled at them. She waited for Daryn to settle. She knew him well. He was such a passionate and dedicated lover. "Here take the napkins," she said to Dawn for her to wipe the gel off.

Dawn wiped and got up from the bed.

Brenda added, "You got to be extra careful now, Dawn. You are carrying twins and that means you need special care. Don't over exert. I would suggest that you don't travel. And I am going to monitor you every month. The pregnancy looks pretty healthy to me, but if you feel anything funny, you need to come and see me immediately. After all it is my king's children and as my Luna I will leave no stone unturned to keep you safe."

The way she said, Dawn felt proud to be the Luna of the Silver clan. So dedicated.

The couple walked out and when Daryn gave the news to the three men outside, the two young ones jumped with joy attracting glares from the passers by, while the old man simply stared at them.

"Twins?" he said in a soft voice. All his purchases were going to be used. His breath hitched. "I am going to be a double Grandfather!" He said with a fixed stare on Dawn as if now she was a national treasure.

'Congrats Dawn!' came Quetz' squeal. 'When are you coming here?'

'Tomorrow.' She said.

"You cannot go anywhere now Dawn," were the first words of Gayle. "And I have to buy so much! Are they two boys or two girls or a boy and a girl?"

"I don't know yet!" said Daryn. "But we are going to be parents!"

"Have you thought of the names?" asked Cole.

A nurse who walked past them put her fingers on her lips and said "Shhh!"

Cole mouthed sorry. "We must go out of this place," he suggested.

"Wait, I got the names ready," came Neal's boisterous voice. His alpha was about to become a father multiplied by two.

"I need to buy more stuff," said Gayle.

Dawn shook her head.

All of them walked out of the hospital. Happiness was in the air.

"We have found Pia on the outskirts of the Ensmoire forest, my queen," said Emma, the vampire. "Currently, she is recovering from animal bites. She had fought many other lone wolves to survive. Her family had to banish her compulsorily in order to stay in the tribe."

Sedora nodded, as she sat on the throne. Her golden gown was shimmering under the lights of her court. The golden eyeshadow and kohl only added to the effect. The necklace that she was wearing was the most powerful necklace in the world. It was steeped with immeasurable magical powers and was the source to her longevity—Necklace of Lorza. She had acquired it from the evil vampire lord Lorza, whose wife Emma was now under her command.
