One-Hundred Fifty-Six: Pregnancy and Kids Part 2

Leah

So far, being pregnant hasn’t been that bad. I have been nauseous, but so far, no vomiting. Thank god. I remember poor Kylani and what happened when she was pregnant with the twin. I mean, she got hit with both morning sickness and the stomach flu at the same time. We had our first ultrasound a few weeks ago, and the doctor said that everything was going well. It is still way too early to tell what the sex of the baby is, but that’s ok. I do know that there is only one. I had the doctor make sure since Mykayla got a surprise.

“How are you feeling baby?” Marcus asks.

“Very good actually,” I tell him.

He has been really good so far. Thankfully, he has not been too overbearing. Well, not too overbearing yet. I am sure that is coming at some point. I am just starting to show. Marcus leaves to do something with Jason and security. I really don’t care. I decide to walk over to the packhouse and see what crazy shit I am missing. I walk in the back door, and all is quiet. I walk into the kitchen and there is Araya cooking. Mitchell, Seth, Brighton, Xion, and Royce are sitting there waiting for whatever it is she is making. I swear I am not sure how we feed all these guys and don’t go broke buying groceries. These guys are all bottomless pits.

“If they start bothering you let Mykenzie and Kylani know and they will make them disappear,” I tell her.

“We are not bothering her.” Seth snarks.

“Has she told you that you are not bothering her?” I ask.

He doesn’t have an answer for me. Besides, does he really want to argue with a pregnant woman? I am hoping he is smarter than that.

“Hey Seth, Heaven,” I tell him.

“I hate you.” He grumbles.

That shuts him up, and he folds his arms across his chest and pouts. That is still a sore subject for him. I keep walking and rub my small bump. I haven’t felt the baby move yet, but the doctor says that it should be soon. She is not sure when I will actually have the baby. She figures somewhere between five and nine months. Shifters aren’t pregnant as long as everyone else. I am not sure if I should be happy about that or not. I head down to the rec room cause I can hear noises coming from there. It sounds like kids are playing down there. I was right. All the kids are down here. Kylani has her three, as does Mykayla, Mykenzie has Xaydyn down here, and Bryn has her twin down here as well. Nymyra is also down here. I have a seat beside Nymyra, and she hands me a bottle of water.

“Why are they all here and not outside playing?” I ask.

“They wanted to play down here.” Mykenzie answers.

“Besides it’s a good area to let these six roll and crawl around in.” Bryn adds.

“Plus we can block the entrance with Phantom,” Kylani says.

I have to laugh at that. Mainly because it’s true. Phantom is lying in front of the door, so all the kids are trapped in there. One might say that Xaydyn and Jordyn could just appear anywhere they want. That would be true, but with Mykenzie and Kylani their powers don’t work. This is nice, and it’ll be fun to add mine to this little group. I do like the fact that mine will have the same age. I know Nymyra is excited about the same thing. She doesn’t have any siblings.

“So are the twins crawling yet or still trying to figure it out?” I ask Bryn.

“They just figured it out last night. Donte saw it and got so excited.” She replies.

I can only imagine how comical he looked when that happened. Honestly, I have a feeling that Marcus will be the same way. He might look all big and scary, but he is a giant teddy bear. He hates it when I tell him that. I can only imagine how he would act if this were a little girl. Oh god, that’ll be fun. I bet he will act like Kaleb.

“Damn it Phantom, get out of the way,” Chris says.
