MAX
"I want to renovate the apartment" Jax said as he walked into my office making me raise a brow
"Why?" I questioned and he just shrugged
"It looks dull I mean don't get me wrong I like it but I think it just needs more color to make it look more homy" he answered which he had a point so I nodded and he beamed
"When do you want to start the renovation?" I asked making him think before he answered with
"Next week, since today were a setting the nursery up" he said, I nodded and pushed back from my desk allowing him to sit on my lap
"The cribs and all the things for the babies should arrive after lunch" I said kissing his exposed neck while running his bump
"We should paint the room first so it'll be dry by then" he mumbled leaning back and I hummed
"Just give me the colors and I'll paint the room" I said
"They're in the nursery already. The kids wanted to help you paint" he said and I smiled
"I'm sure they'll be great help as you can't be in the room due to the fumes and the smell which can be harmful to the twins" I murmured
"We also have to start planning the wedding" he commented as we walked out of my office. I nodded it's been roughy 5 days since I sent the unsigned contract back to Nick telling him that it was ridiculous that they wanted to build a 7 story mall under 3 days. It needed time for planning, the money and the right people for the job. He had called me back yesterday telling me the the people who were contracting is were furious at my decision but they couldn't do anything since not only was I a business man but also a Prince and what I say goes.
"We'll look through some of venues and set up an appointment to speak with the organizers to see" I said and he beamed. We have decided to set the wedding for just three months after the twins are born because it gave us time to plan it and decide what goes where and how many people were invited to the ceremony and so on. We've only ever decided on the theme, which was gender neutral as we wanted the family to be surprised when we do a gender reveal baby shower on Friday which wasn't that far away.
For the next 3 and a half hours and with the help of three eager pups, I set the nursery up. I had painted the walks a light tan that matches the gold chandelier hanging on the ceiling I the center of the room. I had asked Tony and Nick to come help with the building of the dresser that was going to be to the right wall near the windows. I let the paint dry up for a few hours before I went back in and set the cribs up with both Nick and Tony.
I had Tony and Nick both hang the matching canopies on the ceiling before we moved the cribs to their rightful place up against the wall with a gold nightstand in the center, a gold mirror on the wall with a small white lamp on top the dresser giving the room a soft glow. Next came the pink recliner- Jax said he wanted the recliner to be an off pink with white designs- with a matching foot rest. Each crib had a treasure chest in front of them that were white with gold designs. Below the window was a long sofa where Jax could sit at when he's here with the twins instead of just sitting on the recliner.
On the side of the dresser I had placed another lamp to give the extra lighting. By the time it was 9, and dinner had passed( Jax had came to get the three of us so we could eat) we were done with the nursery and Jax was thrilled and thanked us because and I quote "it's fucking perfect you guys are amaze balls" we cracked up at his choice of words but nonetheless we were glad that we did a great job. We bid the guys a good night before we headed to bed. Jax had long since put the boys and Victoria to bed while we finished the room.
"Thank you again for setting it up" he murmured kissing my cheek as he laid his head on my shoulder and I hummed kissing his temple
"You don't need to thank me for it babe" I murmured back
"You're the best you know that?" He quizzed making me chuckle
"I've been told yes" I agree and he laughed
"Love you" we murmured before falling into a peaceful sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What do you think about this place?" Jax questioned as he showed me a picture of Hengrave Hall which was actually a pretty nice building. I read through the description and I nodded
"Put their number down with the others" I said and he nodded. We had been looking through every venue in London that we thought would be a good place to have our wedding and I think that this place will be good since it had a church just a few feet away from the mansion. We made calls to the five locations and only Hengrave Hall and Wasing Park said we could go check it out, so we made an appointment to visit both locations this afternoon at 4. We had just about enough time to take the kids to their doctor appointment to make sure that they're healthy even though we (werewolves) don't generally get sick there are still exceptions such as catching a cold much like what the kids did a few days back.
"Are we going to get our bums pinched daddy?" Shane asked as we walked down the hall to doctor Jefferson's' office
"Yeah bud but you're going to be a brave big boy and show your siblings that it doesn't hurt right?" I asked and he gulped but nodded his head
"You can hold my hand if it hurts I won't let go" I promised
"You hold my hand to mama right?" Both Jackson and Victoria asked Jax who nodded his head
"Good morning your highnesses" he greeted as we entered
"Morning Dr. Jefferson" we greeted back, Jax sitting down beside me while pacing Victoria I his lap and I did the same with the boys
"So are we here for their routine check up?" He asked looking at us
"Yeah their last check up was about 3 months ago before Max and I met" Jax said and the doctor nodded
"Well from the report I got from your previous doctor I see that they each had grown an inch or two each as well as gained about a pound and a half so with Shane gaining around 3 as he's older" he said
"That's good right?" I asked and he nodded
"That's perfectly fine Prince Max no need to worry" he replied and I sighed in relief glad to know that all three children were growing at a normal pace
"We're going to give each three shots each right?" He asked and we nodded. Shane going first as he was closest to the examination table so o placed him on it and let him hold my hand while the doctor got ready, the two youngest watching with fearful eyes as Shane got vaccinated for rabies and measles.
"You're all set ,you did great" doctor Jefferson said as he finished a few minutes later and not once did Shane cry
"Course he would do great he's a big and strong boy" Jax said with a proud smile and Shane beamed. Victoria and Jackson didn't do quite good as Shane and they screamed and kicked when they were getting their shots and both cling to us once they were done, tears steaming down their cheeks as they hiccuped and whimpered
"You're alright babe, you're alright" I murmured to Jackson as he held onto me with his face buried in my chest with me being careful not to touch his leg and where he got the shots on
"Hu-hurst daddy" he whimpered
"I know buba but you're alright I've got you" I said rubbing his back then thanked the doctor before we bid him a good day and took the kids back to our apartment to put them down for their nap after giving them some late breakfast since we were told to not give them anything before the appointment
"Daddy stay" Jackson mumbled as I laid him down and was about to pull away when he stopped me. I nodded and laid beside him and he crawled onto my chest and fell asleep soon after and I kissed his forehead before letting sleep take over.

(The ballroom)
"This looks amazing" Jax exclaimed as we -all three of four of us- entered the grand ballroom where the thanksgiving dinner was being held and I have to agree with him. The room looked amazing. Being one of the three main ballrooms, it was one of the most used for celebrations such as these. Tables were all placed on each side of the hall with the dance floor in the center. Each table had white vases with red roses in each giving the room a vibrant color. The hall itself is white with gold designes and crystal chandeliers hanging on the ceiling. The stage where the orchestra would be playing was set to the far corner of the hall, the band were already setting up since the party was starting in less than 2 hours and Jax and I still had to get the kids ready.
"Who else is coming to the dinner tonight?" Jax questioned as we made our way to our floor and I racked my brain thinking of who might come
"I know your former pack will be coming along with Madison's family and I think Nick and Tony's family from the states are coming, they should be arriving soon" I replied and he nodded
"Kids time to get ready" I yelled and the sound of pitter patter was heard as all three came running around the corner tackling us
"You been gone to long" was the first thing Jackson said with a pout that his older and younger sibling agree on
"Sorry bub, we're here now" I said picking him up and he wrapped his arms around my neck
"We go now daddy?" Victoria asked and I hummed
"First its bath time" Jax answered and they whined
"No" they mumbled and Jax rose his brow
"Yes and I won't say it again" he said sternly that all three didn't argue and just nodded
~*~*~*~*
The ballroom was filled with people all of different ranks from Kings to Alphas to humans-Madison's family had taken the news of Xavier being a werewolf pretty well which was a surprise as most people don't take it well- they were all mingling and talking some were by the food while others were out on the balcony overlooking the lake as the moon and stars covered the sky. Jax and I were by the corer with his uncle and cousins while the pups were of in their own world playing with the other children in the other side of the room.
"So when is the wedding?" Andy asked and Jax smiled
"In June we're hoping since the twins will be born by then" he answered
"Have you decided where the ceremony will be at?" Alpha Ricker asked
"Yeah, we're having it at the Hengrave Hall but we still have to pick a date" I said
"That's a good location. It has beautiful views and everything" Elena, Andy's fiancé, stated
"It's honestly the most beautiful place I have ever seen" Jax said with a wide grin that I couldn't help but be mesmerized by it. Tomorrow we were heading back to the Hengrave Hall to look it over and begin the wedding plans. By 11 we had all eaten the big feast that had been prepared for the night and then by 3 in the morning we bid most of the guests while Xavier's in laws, Nick and Tony's family and Jax's former pack staid as they were going to be helping us with the wedding planning. We headed up to our apartment while the others had gone to their respective floors for the night.
"MAX!" Jax yelled from our room and I jumped out of the shower and dashed to the room to see what was happening and I saw him looking down at his bump with a bright smile
"What's wrong?" I asked walking over to him and he looked up with a beaming smile
"They kicked" he said and I sighed in relief glad that nothing was wrong with the twins hten walked over to him and laid my hand on his bump
"I don't feel anythi-" I began saying but paused when I felt two sets of kicks against my hand making me widen my eyes and Jax to giggle at my reaction
"They've been moving all night" he murmured with a smile as he ran his free hand through my hair and I hummed
"That means that they'll be very active pups when they're older" I commented and he grinned
"Just like their brother and daddy" he commented and I raised a brow
"Jackson used to move a lot when I was pregnant with him and your dad said that you moved a lot when his wife was carrying you" he replied and I smiled. Mom did tell me that I was like sworn in her belly when she was pregnant with me.
"Mom did tell me I never let her sleep" I said with a chuckle. I wish she was still here loving this moment with me. She would have loved the thought of being a grandmother again and even love Jax and his children.
"She would have loved you and the kids" I said and he smiled
"I would have loved her too" he replied
"She was an incredible woman, wife and mother" i said and he nodded with a smile
"Tell me about her" he said and I smiled
"First let me get dressed" I said making him crack up and nod. Standing up from my kneeling position in front of Jax I walked over to the closet to grab a pair of sweatpants and boxers before putting them on and walking back to the bed.
"She was beautiful. Big bright blue eyes and the brightest of smiles" I began and he smiled laying his head on my shoulder
"She knew what to say and when to say it. She was one one of the best people I have ever known. She was tough,just like you, she never gave up......"
