Twins.
They confirmed it quicker than I had expected. One day I was listening to Priscilla tell me there were babies… and then the next day, I was on an ultrasound table watching as the pack doctor used cold jelly and a magic wand to scan my stomach.
“Oh, look… right there, Luna. There is baby one… and there is baby two.”
The doctor’s words didn’t comfort me. I was excited, yes, but extremely scared.
“Thank you,” I replied, not knowing what to say.
I had grown up an only child and had no clue what it was like having a sibling or raising more than one child. Granted, I wasn’t alone. I had four incredibly sexy mates who stood over me as if on guard twenty-four hours of a day, but it still didn’t ease my mind.
“There is no need to thank me. I would like to see you back in two weeks. That way, we can get another scan and determine the sex of the babies.”
