Grayson was pacing at the bottom of the stairs. He was just as nervous as Asher. He felt useless. He wanted to help, but there was nothing he could do. Caden and Rosa were coloring with Brody and Chasen in the kitchen. Kristen, Garrett, Caspian, and Merida were sitting with Alice and Nathon. Drew and Kennedy came over and sat with them. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the little princess.
The midwife finally came down the stairs. “The mother is doing just fine. Asher will be coming to speak to all of you shortly. Now if you would all please excuse me, this old woman is in need of a nap,” the gentle lady said as she walked out of the house.
It felt like hours before Asher finally came down the stairs. His face was unreadable as he looked around at everyone.
“Well?!” Grayson finally said, not able to take it anymore.
Tears started streaming down Asher’s face. He reached up and rested his head in his hands.
Everyone froze.Oh no. What happened?
Asher couldn't stop the streams coming from his eyes. His emotions were out of control. He felt like the pregnant woman, though they didn’t have a pregnant woman anymore. He looked up and wiped his eyes. He saw everyone looking at him nervously. He shook his head and smiled.
“Lita is doing fine … she’s great. And so are the babies.” Asher grinned widely.
“Did you say babies?!” Alice squealed, hopping up.
“We have twins. A little girl and a little boy.” Asher beamed proudly. He was shocked, overcome with happiness.
“Hell yeah, Asher! When you do something, you do it right!” Grayson grabbed him in a head lock and messed up his hair and Asher grinned at his excitement.
“We would like for you guys to come up and meet them,” Asher said as he managed to escape Grayson’s death hold. “Brody, Chasen … come on, boys.” Asher picked both boys up and led the way to his room. He opened the door, and Lita looked up, holding the two little bundles in her arms.
Asher lowered Brody and Chasen, and they both ran and climbed up next to Lita. They looked down at the two babies.
“Do you want to hold them?” Lita asked her two little men.
“Yes, but this one is mine,” Chasen said, pointing to one.
“Yeah, and this one is mine,” Brody said, pointing to the other.
“Boys, they can both be yours.” Lita giggled, and the two boys looked at her and shook their heads.
“No, that one isn’t mine. I’m this one’s guardian,” Brody said, and Chasen nodded his head, agreeing.
“Yeah, that’s right. I‘m only this one’s guardian. They’re both our siblings, but we’re only the guardian to one,” Chasen said.
“Well, I’ll be …” Alice said as she walked up closer to see her new grandbabies. “I guess that’s why you chose two guardians. Your magic knew you had two babies, and it picked a guardian for each of them.”
Asher sat beside Lita and smiled down at his family. “Okay Brody, sit back and hold your arms out.” Asher lifted the tiny baby in his arms and sat it in Brody’s. “This is Reiya, Brody. You chose to be the guardian of the little princess.”
“You ready, Chasen?” Lita asked, as she sat the little infant in his arms. “This is Hunter. You are the guardian of the future alpha.”
Both boys smiled. They were content, calm, and very enamored with the new babies.
Asher rested his head on Lita. “You did so well.” He kissed the top of her head gently.
“I take it you didn’t feel the births. You know, since you’re still standing and all,” Caden teased with a grin.
“Haha, no, I didn’t, and after seeing what she went through, I’m thankful that was something I didn’t have to feel.” Asher shook his head and gave a crooked grin. In fact, he didn’t want Lita going through it again. They got their little girl and their little boy. As far as he was concerned, they were blessed beyond measure, and their family was complete.
Lita looked up to him and smiled. She agreed. This moment was perfect. Their family was perfect.
Grayson leaned in closer to look at the two new arrivals.
“Easy, Grayson,” Brody snapped, holding Reiya up to his chest protectively.
Grayson chuckled. “Already the overprotective guardians. Gotta love how history repeats itself.”
