RAE POV

Today we all come back after a wonderful week of relaxing on an island. We climb out of the plane with our suitcases. We all our wearing a new maternity outfits.

FLASHBACK

We climbed off the plane and noticed we were on an island. We then were taken to a banquet hall and ate a wonderful buffet meal.

We were surprised after the meal to be escorted into another banquet hall, and they had a maternity fashion show that afternoon for us. The models after the show went and stood on a pedestal and behind her showed the variety of colors the outfits came in. We were to mark down 1 swimsuit, 2 dresses, 7 everyday casual outfits, 2 lingerie outfits, a pair of tennis shoes and dress shoes we liked; and the top 2 colors we liked. When we turned in the cards someone took us into a small room and had us strip. They pulled out tape measures and took our measurements that they listed down on our card. Then handed us a robe.

When we walked out of the room a staff member had each of us follow them to our individual rooms. Where we could get our first massage. When the massage was over we were told to rest and enjoy the snack that was brought in. I fell asleep and was waken a couple hours later with a knock on the door. I answered the door and a bellhop was there with 1 suitcase, a cosmetic bag and garment bag. She walked in and unpacked the bags. I was surprised to see everything I had indicated on the card was there in both colors. Plus several matching underwear sets. Once everything was put away she handed me a bag that had a sandals, blue jean shorts and a maternity white t-shirt. "You are asked for wear this tonight to dinner." She glanced at her watch and said, "Dinner is in 1 hour and 52 minutes. If anything does not fit correctly to call this extension and they will replace it with the correct size." She handed me a card and left the room.

I decided to take a nice bath. I saw she had placed the cosmetic bag on the bathroom counter. I noticed several bathsalts were there. I picked up the pink one and dumped it into the bath. A floral smell filled the room and I took a nice hot soak. While soaking in the tub I called Nash on FaceTime. After talking with Nash and having some phone sex. I got off the phone and dressed.

I went downstairs and was pointed to a balcony that overlooked the ocean. There were people who had appetizers and juices being served. We all mingled. We were asked to stand on stairs where they took a group photo in our matching outfits. Then we all ate dinner. After dinner we all walked down to the beach and watched the sunset. They set up a bonfire on the beach and we all toasted marshmallows. Then called it a night. When I went into my room I saw a bowl of gruel there and ate it before going to sleep.

The second day I woke up, got dressed and went downstairs. They had breakfast on the same balcony as the night before. There had been 5 other she-wolves who were flown in over night. The morning and afternoon were ours. We were given a list of various island activities, shops, and the resort activities. We could do what we wanted until 4pm when we were asked to be back in our room for another massage, nap, and dinner. We did the same routine until the day our mates were to arrive. (Yes the third and fourth morning we woke up to 3 more she wolves joining  we had a total of 11 more she wolves join us this week.)

That day we ate breakfast. Then at noon we were to have a mud bath, facial, hair style, they did our makeup. Us ladies were laughing and talking. We were all excited about seeing our comperes/mates/husband. Then helped us slip into a special formal dress. I loved mine was royal blue, with a halter style on the shoulders and a "v" cleavage. It flowed down to the ground.

I put my dress on. I looked around the room. Then looked at myself in the mirror. I burst into tears. I looked like a beached blue whale. All the sudden everyone got quiet and surrounded me. They gave me assurances I looked lovely and Nash was gonna love it. I knew it was just hormones but I no longer loved the dress since all I could see was a beached whale. The stylist then pulled me to the side and whipped off the dress. She placed me in a different dress.  Then worked on repairing my makeup. She had all mirrors removed. "When your compere sees you he will want to ravish you and will find you being extremely sexy with his children inside you."

They had us go stand in line by a curtain. The men were all in the room on the other side. As each of our names were called our other half walked up to us and escorted us to our table for two. I was the last name called and when they called me I was very nervous, but when I looked into Nash eyes all I saw was live. He said, "Rae you look absolutely radiant. The beauty of this place is dull compared to you. I love and missed you very much this week." He then kissed me and bent down and gave my belly 4 kisses. Then escorted me to our table. Many of the ladies gave me secret smiles and knowing looks. Some of the mates gave confusing looked to their mates but none of them told about my hormonal breakdown. After dinner some went back to their rooms, others went for a run together, some went to explore the island. Nash and I went for a walk on the beach where it turned into a magical night.

END OF FLASHBACK

As we depart the airplane I am still amazed to know we will 45 she wolves pregnant with 68 pups are due: 39 will be boys and 29 will be girls; 2 Kitsuni pregnant: 6 kits: 3 of each; 1 human: 3 male children. We will be having from just Moonville a total of 77 babies by the end of February. I laugh when I remember Princess Allison stating just 20-30 pups." The men all grab our luggage and we all drive our own vehicles to our temporary home at the school dorms.

As we walk into the dorms we notice the place has already been decorated for Christmas. We are amazed how organize the place looks. I go into our room and I see Mary sitting on the couch that had been in her home. This room was full of her furniture and I see the small table from her attic is set up as a dining table for us to use. I walk over and give her a hug. We talk for a few minutes and then Nash says, "come on I want to show you the rest of the place."

Then Nash shows me our small room. He said, "with this room being smaller than our bedroom, I bought us a double bed with dressers to place in here since I knew our king size bed would be too big for this room." Plus I notice a few of my favorite nick back are placed in the room.

Nash says, "I don't know if you remember the original plans (see photo below). It original was going to be set up as a 4 room suite that slept 8 students. Each room was suppose to have 2 closets, 2 twin captain beds and a student desk. (See picture)

Then Nash opens up the door to our small room. He said, "with this room being smaller than our bedroom, I bought us a double bed with dressers to place in here since I knew our king size bed would be too big for this room." I look around and I notice a few of my favorite nicknacks are placed in the room.

He takes me to the second room. He had moved the quadruplet crib here. It took up about 70% of the room. He then opened up one closet and there are two rows of hanging infant boy clothes. The bottom half if filled with diapers and wipes. Then the second closet is full of infant girl clothes. My eyes tear up as I look at them. I rub my belly.

He then shows me the bathroom. He said it originally was going to just have a shower, but they placed a tub in this bathroom

Then he walks me to a third door. "Do to the fact we are a growing family they turned this room into a small kitchen and we have a stackable washer and dryer in here. Though the cafeteria is where we all have been eating our meals." The fourth room is where Aunt Mary is at.

We walk out of the kitchen and I then notice we have a small 4 foot tree 🌲 in the corner. There are boxes with ornaments from Mary's home. We spend the afternoon decorating the tree. I then take a nap.

When I wake up I unpacked my bags. Plus go place a few gifts under the tree. They were items I had bought on the island. I noticed a few other items had been placed under the tree while I was sleeping. I see no one is in the room and I then see a note on a bulletin board by the door. "You were sleeping and did not want to wake you. When you wake up head to the music room. We will be singing carols there." He had placed a campus map beside it. I head over to music room.

Waking up Christmas morning  we open up our gifts.  Nash has given me from the children a charm bracelet with 5 charms on it. One charm was a butterfly with our wedding date. Then 4 charms that had our kit's name in it. "Once they are born we can add their birthdays." Pop Plus a set of keys to a 16 passenger luxury van.

Mary had given  me 4 children stories where each story focused on an element.  Plus a book about all the elements in details.  Then was given a stroller for 4 infants and car seats.

A couple months back I had hired one of the art students to paint a college of pictures.  Picture 1 was Mary holding an infant Nash. Picture 2 was Mary reading Nash a story. He looked about age 5.  Picture 3 was a photo of the two of them at his high school graduation. Then the last photo was the two of them together at our wedding.  She teared up when she saw it. She made Nash go hang it above her bed.

Nash I had the artist paint a picture of  couple foxes I called it, Reflection Within.  He hung his above our bed.

We then went downstairs. We enjoy a brunch with other family and friends.

After Christmas I started getting Braxton Hicks. The first time Nash grabbed me and drug me to the new 20 room hospital that was only partially opened.  I went back to our home to rest. When I woke up I went shopping. I bought dozens of onesies.  When I got home I was washing them. Nash and Mary came home and I was pulling them out of the dryer and started folding them when they walked in. He had been helping with construction and Mary had been helping prepare the food for the New Year's Eve party tomorrow evening.

Mary smile and said, "you are getting near. You are starting to nest.  She and Nash started helping fold the clothes and look at all the outfits. I had gotten 2 of each multiple pack of gender specific. Then bought 4 packages of 6 in white, yellow and green.
I had picked them in 4 different sizes of 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months, and 9-12 months.  We were right now folding the 0-3 months. I had the 3-6 months in the washer and 6-9 months in the dryer. The 9-12 months were still waiting to be washed.

The next evening I went to pull out the dress and Nash handed me a package. He said, "I would love for you to wear this. I unwrapped it and it was a navy blue dress. My first thought was back to that blue beach whale image. "This dress I know this style is out of date but it was the dress my mother wore when pregnant with me to the end of year witches cotillions. He then handed me a picture of her in the dress.

I have him a watery smile and thought to myself  "I cannot say no to this." I looked at him and said, "it might not fit. I am a lot bigger than her."

Nash set the dress down and turned it to the back. He unfastens the buttons. "It had an expansion built in. She was only 5 months pregnant in that photo. She decided she would also wear it to the witches spring cotillions, but had me prior to it. She misses the cotillion that year."

I put the dress on. I refused to look at myself in it. I walked out. Mary, Cassie and Nash all gasped. Cassie said, "Oh my. You look radiant in that dress. Betty would be so honored to know your wearing it."

I looked at Nash, his mouth was gapped opened. I could see the love in his eyes. "Close your mouth before a fly gets in."

He closes his mouth. He clears his throat and says, "you are absolutely beautiful. No you are beyond beautiful. You are gorgeous, stunning, exquisite, divine, dazzling, enticing, enthralling, magnificent, mesmerizing, charming, captivating, adorable, alluring. None of those words bring you justice. You are you and I am very thankful to be your compere."

I had tears form in my eyes and lean forward and kiss Nash. We then start to walk over to the gym where the party was being held. As we were walking in I did get a hard contraction. Nash looked at me worried, "just another of those Braxton Hicks." I hear music. "Let us go dance." We were dancing to
Rascal Flatts

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

When all the sudden I got a sharp pain and grabbed my stomach.  Then I felt wet. Nash yelled at my name, "RAE!!!"

Doctor Charlie and Ivory walked over. "Doc Charlie said, "looks like you are going to be the first to  have your babies."

I looked scared at him, "but they are not due for another 3 weeks. I still have a couple more things to do before they can come."
