When All Else Fails

"I really wanted to be but I didn't feel pregnant either. You are very lucky Carson." She tells me.

"We might think I am but nothing is a guarantee. I may not be pregnant you know." She smiles.

"Maybe but we all see the way he is when you come up in conversation. Even if you aren't pregnant he wants you. Just be good to him he's worth it." She left wiping her cheeks. Matt was next. He was sad as well but I could see he'd not expected to be pregnant. He gave me a smile and Rance a hug before leaving. Olivia was the last to go. When the doctor said no she seemed relieved.

"I'm kind of glad I'm not. I don't think I'm as ready for being a mother as I thought I was. We're going to wait upstairs. I'm sure it'll be a yes for you. Just let us know." I took my place on the table and was smeared up and the wand went around on my stomach. I waited, as patient as I could. Rance was looking over the doctors shoulder at the screen. The wand stopped and Rance looked closer.

"Doc?" I question. "Do you see something?" He smiles.

"I do indeed. You are pregnant." I grinned and laughed like a loon.

"I thought I would be, wanted to be, but part of me was worried I wouldn't be. Rance get over here and kiss me." He moved up and kissed me deeply. I moaned and tangled my hands in his hair.

"You really like my hair don't you?" He says pulling up.

"Oh yes."

"Well before you two get too carried away lets talk baby. Or babies as your case is." I stared at the doctor.

"Babies? You mean I'm having twins?" The doctor turned the screen so that we could see it.

"Actually, and I'll show you, here's one, there's two. Then we have," I stared as he went on, "three," my eyes went wide, "Four," my jaw dropped, "Five. Little babies in there."

"Are you sure?" I ask shocked through. Rance is grinning.

"Yes. I should warn you that with so many some can be hidden but I doubt given they are spaced out here that is the case. You've got five. Now it's too early for gender I'll wait till week three to four before I try for that." I looked at Rance.

"You wanted babies, I hope you meant that."

"I do. I love you Carson. Thank you." I saw tears slip from his eyes as he kisses me. He was so happy I could tell.

"I love you too."

"My job is done thank god." Jeff says and starts to leave.

"Not yet." Alpha says. Jeff groans and turns back around.

"Why?"

"He's having a lot more than twins which is what we thought. He's going to need help. He'll show, gain weight, and be far more restricted due to the complications. Since you two are friends and you've been his guardian I had hoped that you'd keep after him. It'll be far more relaxed just keep after him make sure he's okay. I'm sure Rance will be obsessive. Work will be complicated for him I'm sure. You've been acting as his assistant so they are used to seeing you. Will you do it?"

"Buy me a new pair of headphones so I don't have to hear them have sex and I'll do it." Alpha laughed.

"You've got the pack card charge a new pair." Jeff looked at me.

"I guess your stuck with me. You going to behave any better now that you have him?"

"Yes." I tell him grinning. Rance chuckles.

"I think I can help him behave better."

"I don't want to know how."

"Before anyone runs off I want to talk to you about some things. Alpha is correct you'll begin to show any day now though I can tell you've rounded just a hair. You'll gain rapid weight and be bigger for longer than most. You'll have to stay down as much as possible. I know this will interfere with your work more than most as well. I want you to keep food handy you'll be hungry constantly they'll need lots of good nutrition. This doesn't mean you have to eat like a saint but be healthy the majority of the time." I nodded.

"What about sex?" He laughed.

"As long as you aren't in pain, or uncomfortable it'll be fine. I'd try to be easy Rance. Traditional love making is best. Understand?" Rance chuckled but nodded.

"I'll take care as I claim him. I don't want him or our babies hurt."

"Anything else I need to know doc?"

"I'm going to send you off with a few things to read over just let me know if you need anything or have any questions. I'm always around."

"Thanks doc. Can I go then?"

"Yes you can go." Before I could get off the table Rance is scooping me up and then spinning me around.

"I'm going to let you in on a secret." Rance says bend close to my face. I'm laughing and smiling.

"What?"

"The night of the Session. I knew that you'd be the one. You were watching me so intently. You caught my attention the minute I saw you but you weren't part of the Chosen. When it was over and I'd mounted all the others I wanted you so badly. If you'd said no I'd have probably begged until you gave in. When I realized I was knotting I was so worried I'd hurt you but I knew that you'd be the one pregnant. I'd missed on every other potential, but you, I knew it would be you."

"I wanted it to be me." I tell him. With my arms looped around his neck I pull him till I can kiss him. I don't have to hurry, I don't have to be easy. He was mine now. His mouth opened and his tongue went deep into my mouth I moaned and he held tighter to me. I heard steps leave. I felt need grow in me and I knew he felt the same by the way his hands clenched into my body where he held me.

"While I'm happy for you. I'd rather you not have sex in my clinic, find a bedroom." I pulled back laughing at the doctors remark.

"Sure. I know where his bedroom is."

"Why not yours?"

"Because I have a room mate." He turned and headed upstairs. To my room. The other chosen and their guardians were all in the hall outside my room. Jeff was there, and so was James.

"Rance is he really pregnant with five?" Matt asked. Quintuplets. Good lord I didn't need to think about that birth quite yet.

"Yes." I saw his eyes flip to James who swallowed hard and hurried down the hall away from us.

"Uh, can you put me down." I say. Rance does without argument. "Well go after him. He's upset." I say giving him a shove.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea. I'm trying to distance myself from him."

"And I'm trying not to have him break down on his own. Go. I'll be here when you get back." Rance kisses my cheek and strides off. I turn to the others. "How was he acting?"

"Very quiet. I think he was trying not to give into the grief honestly. He knew that it was remote." Eva says.

"He also knew it was his last chance." Patrick says.
