Page 104 of His Sassy Omega
I chuckled. Yeah, I was already bracing myself for that.
From the awe in his voice, I didn’t think our mom was going to be the only out-of-control one. Rory was going to have three out-of-control uncles too. Four if you counted Wade.
As much as I wanted to gush about my daughter, I wanted to know about my mate and our other child more.
“What happened? How’s Quinn?” I wanted more details than fine. I needed more than fine.
“The second twin's placenta finally tore away from the uterus, and Quinn started hemorrhaging. The baby went into distress. Oh, it’s a boy, by the way. They should be bringing him to you shortly.”
A boy. One of each.
I couldn’t help the smile of joy that broke across my face, as I lifted Rory to my shoulder and patted her back gently, trying to coax a burp from her.
“I had to do an emergency c-section, but I was able to get the bleeding under control, without having to remove his uterus.”
I breathed a sigh of relief. Not that I would have cared what they’d had to remove, as long as Quinn was going to be okay.
“He’ll be in recovery a little longer, then they’ll bring him back here.” Finn rubbed a tired hand over his face.
“It’s going to be a longer recovery than you were planning on. I know Quinn’s tired of bed rest, but he’s essentially given birth and had a c-section. He lost a lot of blood. He’s going to need rest, lots of it, and he won’t be moving very fast, or doing any lifting for a while.”
I nodded. “I’ll make sure he rests.”
If I had to tie him to the bed this time, I would. “I’m still going to work from home, even after Quinn goes back to work.”
Finn stared at me, and I stared back. I didn’t care what his feelings on the subject were. I was happy with the arrangement, Quinn was happy with the arrangement, and we didn’t need to answer to anyone else. If I wanted to work from home and take care of our children, that was between my mate and me.
“Good for you, Lach.” Finn finally said. “You look happier than I’ve seen you in a very long time.”
The door swooshed open again, and Chelsea came in with another wrapped bundle. I shifted Rory to one arm, and she laid my son – Patrick – in the crook of my other arm. I nuzzled his neck, scenting him. Quinn would scent them both, once he was able.
I looked down at the sleeping baby. His hair was all me, black as a crow, and standing up all over his head. But his face was a miniature replica of Quinn. I wondered if he’d have my blue eyes, or Quinn’s green ones. It was hard to tell this early, and he was sleeping, so I couldn’t get a peek at them.
“It’s too early to know for sure,” Chelsea said, “until the blood tests come back, but it looks like your daughter is an alpha, and your son is an omega.”
I blinked down at my sleeping babies. An omega. Not only had Quinn given us a girl, but also an omega boy.
Finn groaned, rolling his head across the back of the loveseat. “Mom’s going to be extra out of control now.”
I laughed, still staring at the sweet faces of my beautiful children. “I sent out a mass text, letting the family know the babies were here. I didn’t tell them what we had yet, I want it to be a surprise.”
Finn arched a brow at me, and I shrugged. “What? I want to see their faces.”
“Mom’s not gonna like that,” he muttered.
I grinned. “Yes, but she won’t care, once she realizes that all the boy clothes she has already bought, that she thinks I don’t know about, will all go to Patrick. Now she has an excuse to buy more clothes for Rory. Girl clothes.”
“True.” Finn smiled. “Nice names. I like them. Strong.”
Rory threw up a little fist and made a growly sort of noise. I shushed her, and she quieted down.
“She’s going to be a handful,” Finn told me, elbows resting on his knees.
I grinned even brighter. “Just like her Daddy.”
