After their most beautiful and breathtaking yet unforgettable Honeymoon, Tara and Duncan finally returned home.

They agreed and settled on staying in her apartment.

They had settled in for the night it was then that Duncan retrieved the large box that held all the journals left to him. He sat with her laying between his legs and together they read what was the life of Aidan after they both left.

They laughed at his antics and cried all the same as he described his marriage, his married life, his wife and the love they shared that grew with the years. With heartache they read as he wrote how he understood Duncans grief when he lost Tara when he too layed his soul to rest along with his beloved wife.

An angel was taken too soon brother just as yours was taken too soon as well. But I am confident we will meet again as you will see Tara.

She dashed away a tear. Snuggling close into his embrace.

Shortly after reading it he leaned over to the night stand and placed a letter before her. It was sealed with red wax and pressed with the Du Bec crest.

Shaky fingers broke the seal and pulled the letter open.

She covered her lips as not to sob out loud as her tear filled eyes blinked and read the endearing words of Aidan.

My darling Sister-in-law....
I name you so because it was the rightful title I placed on you the very day my brother decided to be a brute and fight the unmistakeable love growing for you in his heart.

She laughed as Duncan kissed her cheek.

Now all I wish for is that he find you and make this wish come true.
I am positive now more than anything that a love like what you share with my brother can transcend time.

Love one another deeply...
Cherish eachother always...
Aidan..

After reading many of those journals the purpose of it all made so much sense to her. As she laid beside him, she spoke to him.

"I want to continue the tradition Duncan," she whispered.

He slowly raised up on his elbow and she followed. He held her gaze in admiration and confusion.

"Why? I found you." he glided his finger down her cheek.

"I know but without them you wouldn't have. Duncan? You have your entire lineage here in these books. They hold centuries of love, loss, heartache and adventure. We can pass this all down to our children." she said.

With a broad smile he nodded. Yes they should do it.

And she was right thanks to it they would have never found eachother.

********
Months later......

A groan escaped his lips as he rested his forehead against the bathroom door.

The love of his life on the other side refused to come out.

"Love, please open the door now is not the time for this," he mumbled his plea softly.

"No. I don't want to," she sniffled.

He sighed thumping his head repeatedly on the door in anguish.

"Stop that!" she sobbed.

With another grown he flattened his cheek against the door trying his best to be gentle.

This was the moment the book he read about pregnancy mentioned.
The slippery slope of pregnancy hormones. It was touchy. It was common.
They were called mood swings...
That threatened to lop his head off by a fierce fire breathing beauty...HIS WIFE....

CHANGE, FATIGUE AND STRESS....
Would be his loves plight as she went further along in her pregnancy.

"Sweeting....my intestines are touching my spine....I need sustenance," he grumbled pitifully tightening his eyes and feeling his stomach rumble and churn.

He listened as she began to sob more.

Defeated he turned to slouch down on the floor with his back against the door and he stretched out his tired legs crossing them.

He smiled slowly as he reminisced a little of the days after their wedding and their unforgettable honeymoon.

How they spoke of this moment that was now nearing. They will be parents soon. With two bundles of joy.

"Whats taking you guys so long?" Mimi popped her head into the room.

He shook his head and pointed behind him to the door.
"She refuses to come out." he said.

Shaking her head she stepped closer to the door. He stood at her side anxiously waiting to see if she had any more better luck than he did in getting his precious wife out of the bathroom. He was seriously getting hungrier by the minute.

"Tara?" she knocked lightly.

"I'm not coming out," Tara mumbled.

They sighed.

"I l..look like a cow," she blurted out in a sob.

Mimi turned to Duncan with an asking gaze that he brushed off with a clueless shrug before lowering his head and pinching his noes trying to calm his slowly growing headache.

"My love you don't look like a cow. You're gorgeous," he pressed his hand to the door.

"Hey the cab...is out front...waiting?" Jason stopped at the door puzzled at the stand-off.

They turned to give him the look. They weren't going anywhere until they get her out of the bathroom.

He stepped closer to the door ready to join the cause.

Clearing his throat he knocked on the door as they stepped away so he could try his luck.

"Tara...please we have reservations and your dad must be waiting for us by now." he said staring at the door.

They jumped as she hit the door.
"I look like a cow, my feet are swollen, my áss is fat and my h.hhair looks like it hasn't been washed in days...and you want to eat?" she cried angrily.

They groaned.

"Well I guess we have to cancel, I was really hoping on getting a taste of their Tiramisu....oh! And the crab legs I hear is to die for." he shrugged.

"Not to mention the Shrimp Paella," Mimi added with a glum look.

"Remind me which one was that?" Duncan totally interested on the dish asked forgetting where they stood.

Well into the conversation as they forgot her and went into succulent detail of the plates and sauces. On the other side of the door it was torturous.

She bit her lip and began to pace on her tight ankles. She looked at herself in the mirror. Although her complexion looked rosie and glowing she felt uncomfortable and heavy.

Her stomach was well rounded at 32 weeks and she was ready. Ready to give birth. The guilt she felt of crying and wanting to hurry and have these babies was rested when the Doctor when he mentioned all women go through this faze in pregnancy.

If it werent for Duncan and his attentive ways she didn't think she could do it alone. She smiled and rubbed her stomach with a sniffle. He pampered her like he had all the time in the world.

The moment her stomach started to grow so did every other part of her. Making it difficult to do things like bend or pick up heavy things. It got to the point where he would help her.

But it did not change how he saw her. When he wanted intimacy she would shy away but he would not let her. The way his gorgeous eyes looked at her it was chocked full of desire and love that warmed her.

"But my boobs look big," she turned to look away when he would undress her and entice and caress her.
"But perfect in everyway," he murmed lowering his lips to her neck and pulling her as close as possibly permitted with the slow growing bump between them before trailing light kisses between her breasts.

"And my butt looks huge," she would sniffle then look into his gaze but they twinkled with the wickedest grin.
"Again...your perfect in every way," he lovingly caressed her and made it very clear that her backside was indeed just perfect.

She giggled with a sniffle with the memory. 

She had been sitting on the bed one evening as per doctors orders she need to stay off her feet as mch as possible in her 3rd trimester the goal is to get to atleast 37 weeks. Knowing this Duncan made it his duty to help in anyway.

When he arrived home from work dashing and dapper as ever in suit and tie he leaned against the door and watched her. There eyes met and he gave her wink that brought her to breathless giggles.

He had caught her sullen look briefly and stepped forward to sit at her side.
"What ails you m'lady?" he said playfully.

She smiled sheepishly whispering her dilemma pointing and wiggling her toes.
"I can't reach them," she pouted beautifully.

With a sexy smirk he reached for the nail polish. In awe she sat back flushed and breathless as he massaged her feet and her legs, slowly then trailing kisses down them and dedicating his time to paint each to with care.  Biting her lip she stared at the sexy muscular warlord that was her husband that just became her personal pedicurist that evening and every evening since.

The brief knock on the door pulled her away from her musings. The deep rumble of Duncans voice spoke to her.

"Love, if you dont want to go you and I can stay in then. Just you and I." he said in a soft tone.

Now she felt guilty about ruining their dinner plans.

"We can order in. Chinese if you like," he added.
With his convincing tone she considered it.

"We can have deep fried twinkies for desert," he added with a hint of sultryness to his voice.

Now she perked up and stared at the door.
"Think of it love," he continued.

His voice bathed her with warm honey and she shivered.

She stepped closer and listened.

"A Deep fried scrumptious sponge cake filled with delicious vanilla cream that melts in your mouth lass," he mumbled through the door.

******

Mimi and Jason decided to go ahead because he insisted. There was no sense on them ruining their dinner.

Now alone, he leaned on the door and spoke to her. It was his last card to play he knew she loved the deepfried devils from the fair. She devoured them on their last visit. When Mimi mentioned that most restaurants sold them he thought it an awesome treat.

He went into describing it and it made him hungrier.

"Will it have strawberry topping?" her voice settled over him and made him feel so warm.

"Aye love...as much as you want." he agreed anxiously standing and waiting. He would give her anything at that moment. All she had to do was ask.

Suddenly the door knob shook and she slowly opened it. Sad eyes stared up into his filled with sympathy. His gaze filled with understanding rested on her red buttoned nose and red rimmed eyes.
She claimed she was fat but in his eyes she abounded with mouthwatering curves. Her rump ample and soft, her bosoms lush and just perfect. Although nothing could disrupt her beauty she did not believe so.

He crooned and pulled her tenderly into his arms and rubbed her back a kissed her forehead.
"I don't fit into the dress Duncan," she mumbled with a shakey voice into his chest.

He tilted her chin up and looked down into her eyes.
"Its not for long love only a couple of more weeks to go and we finally have our little ones then you will be back to normal." he said lowering his lips to hers.

It was sweet, tender and soon turned hot and sensual for them both.
When his fingers grazed her back and gently rose to dive in through the soft tresses of her hair, she shivered.

He groaned with the sweetness her kiss was causing him. An electric sensation hovered through the space between them making her tingle with the need for his touch.

Her core clenched and the warm trickle down her leg made her stiffen in his hold. Backing away from this dizzy sense of arousal that had begun she looked at him as he held a puzzled look. Then she looked down at the small puddle of water.

She gasped and her gaze shot up to his.

"Duncan my water broke!"

"What?" his eyes grew big.

"My water broke! Honey it's time," she lowered her fingers to her stomach. Letting out a shakey laugh as she watched Duncan nervously gather everything.
Emergency bag..
Baby bag
Camera
His bag
Their jackets...

He was out the door. But...without her.

She patiently stood there her nerves a bundled mess but before she could move she felt the first contraction.

By then Duncan ran back into the room apologizing and frantically kissed her.

With slow steps they got to the front door. By then the agonizing pain had her in his arms as his powerful legs took long strides out the elevator down to the lobby and out the door into a cab.

Luckily the hospital was close.

Shortly after arriving they made their calls to the family and in short order they all arrived.

An hour into arriving and her labor pains had begun getting stronger and stronger. It was nerve racking as he paced in his gown and waited for them to prep her before calling him.

The moment the nurse said his name with a smile he turned to face her.
"You're wife is ready."

She led him in. The room was filled with medical staff and nicu staff on standby. It was a high risk pregnancy because 3 lives were at stake so they needed to take every precaution.

He looked towards her and slowly approached her.
She looked beautiful. Calm and serene but flushed with a sheen of sweat on her brow.

She gave him the most dreamiest smile that made him grin. Her behavior odd that he chuckled.

"She was given Demerol to take the labor pains away slightly," the nurse smiled at them both.

He lowered his eyes to hers and chuckled more as she held his gaze as if mesmerized.
"Wow you're sexy," she giggled beautifully and he grinned not able to contain himself her laughter was contagious.

"And so are you," he kissed her fingers that inquisitively traced his face gently.

"I love you," she said.

"And I love you," he whispered back.

They began to croon and whisper as if they were the only ones there.

The time had come when she began to feel the contractions. A doctor soon entered slipping on gloves, he announced with a smile that she was fully dialated and could push hen she felt the urge.  Duncan he coached her along with all the support and love he could give.

"Thats it love push," he held her hand as she cried out with the slight pain.

While he stood strong  and helped her, there was a deep inner emotional storm in his eyes that Tara saw as they mentioned visual of the head.

He coaxed her sweetly as her face contorted with pain and she bore down with another contraction.

The nurse on the opposite side wiped her brow as breathed with her.

Finally baby number 1 was born.

"It's a boy!" the doctor announced.

Joy and pride filled Duncan's heart he lowered his lips to Taras forehead.
He caressed her cheek looking at the mixture of exhaustion and happiness followed by tears.

The battle wasn't over. The next set of contractions began.

This time the labor was slower and more painful.
His hands trembled as she squeezed them and cried out with the longest push she could give. His words of encouragement soothed her and the word we see the head gave her the slight burst of strength to push one more time.

Relief washed over her as her body expelled her last bundle and she wept.

He rained kisses all over her face. He felt the tightness of emotion in his chest as the downy hair of the baby's head appeared jet black like his.

"It's a Girl!"

A sob escaped him full of happiness.
He hugged her and whispered his love to her and thanked her for such a blessing.

"Would you like to see your babies?" two nurses stood behind him.

In awe he stood. His nerves a mess. His eyes fell on both babies. One wrapped in pink the other wrapped in blue. Wiping his palm he let the nurse carefully place his daughter in his arms.

He looked down into the small face of his new heartstring. So tiny against his broad chest. He felt terrified and elated at the same time. What was he to do with such a small thing he marveled.

He turned then, and the view would be one he would forever carry with him. He smiled watching his son anxiously latch on to his mother's breast.
It was moment bliss. His wife and child. He struck by the beauty of it all as she turned to look at him.

"Hannah and Aidan," she whispered with tears.

He agreed immediately there were no names more befitting then those two.

He looked down at his daughter then.
"Hannah," he whispered her name and placed a kiss on her forehead.

After they had bonded with their newborns the nurses took them away.

It was just them now.

Tara's eyes grew moist and wistful as they met his.

"Duncan, I love you so much."

"Not nearly as much as I love you," he replied with equal emotion.

"You've made me so happy." she caressed his cheek as he pressed his lips to her forehead.

"Not nearly as happy as you've made me," he whispered back.

She leaned back against the pillows and looked dreamily at him.
"I cant wait to make more."

A sexy grin formed on his face.
"In due time, love," he whispered near her lips with a sultry groan leaning forward and claimed her lips passionately.

"Time is all we have."
