Ares' POV

Thomas and I are sitting in bed snacking with each other as we talk and use our swollen tummies as tables for our foods.

While I thought pregnancy was going to be great for having our child, I never thought it would come with so many perks. I mean honestly, I can use my stomach as a table, threaten people and use my bat whenever I want and all I have to tell them is that I'm a pregnant Enchanted.

Life is great.

Though I can't say that Thomas is enjoying it as much as I am. His pale pink lips are set in a pout because he wants to go to the beach. But I'm convinced that one of our boys will be here soon and I would much rather be home.

One thing I won't miss is having to drive while pregnant because it's definitely a pain in the ass.

"You know, I think I might want another kid." I tell Thomas, leaning my hand back on the bed as I pick up a chip and shove it in my mouth and Thomas looks at me like I'm fucking crazy.

"Okay babe. Let's get through these two and maybe when they're older we can talk about it." He tells me and I pout.

I want more littles boys running around looking at me. Zander is alright trying to show his dominance by kicking me around from the inside. The nurse says he's trying to get comfortable and it's natural. I just think the little shit thinks he's going to be top dog around here. The longer this pregnancy goes on the more I'm convinced that my kid will most certainly end up like me.

I'm told I don't need another me in the world. But I think that every generation deserves a good solid man like me in the mix. Especially for our kids.

No offense to our family but besides maybe Jonah, all out of kids are going to be soft and sweet and way too nice. They need Zander there to knock skulls together and make sure his cousins don't get ran or walked over by anyone.

Zion can help too but I feel like all he's going to do is make sure Zander doesn't get caught and provide the weapon and getaway car. The perfect team I've made.

"Stop making up movie plots for our kids." Thomas tells me and I turn towards him with my brows raised.

"You might want to have another kid, these two are definitely going to be mine. I wouldn't want you getting lonely." I tell him, setting my hand on his knee softly and he snorts and rolls his eyes glaring at me softly.

"Jokes on you, Mr.Enchanted, I think Zion is going to adore me. Zander may act like you but we all know I'm still going to be the most spoiled in this house." He tells me and I poke my tongue at him, cursing the fact that he's right.

My boys are going to be raised and told the truth: that they're dad runs the house and I just back him up. And bring out the bat on occasion when he needs me.

People think that just because I'm the big bad wolf and I'm the Enchanted that's been King for years, that I'm the one that runs everything. I hate that way of thinking, toxic masculinity and the frailty with it is so dumb. If anything, it's Thomas that run everything, even from the day we met, especially during the bedroom.

Before we found out we were pregnant I often found myself in the bottom more than on top even if my cock was balls deep inside him.

Another thing I miss.

Crazy hot sex every other day. Now we have to make do with our hands, our stomachs too big for even our heads to be down there without laying down.

It's pitiful really. Someone needs to get their back blown out and soon. I go back to thinking about how kick ass our family is going to be but right as I'm thinking about it, Thomas chokes on his pickle and I hear a sudden gasp of pain making my head snap towards him, my grey eyes holding his captive with panic.

"Is it the baby?" I ask him, excitement and nerves making my lips want to shoot up into a crooked grin and he nods.

Not wasting any time, I get off the bed, being careful of my own baby and land bare foot on the floor. I ignore any shows, knowing that will only waste time and help a stunned looking Thomas from the bed and help him get his feet into some slipper by the bed.

We always thought that I would be the first one to have their baby, and the fact that it's not happening like that is freaking Thomas out I can tell.

Not knowing what else to do but knowing we have to go, I pull Thomas' hand behind me and he grabs my belt loop, holding on to it for fear life as I lead him from our room and towards the front of the house. I gracefully find some flip flops in front and slip them on grabbing my keys before heading out of the door.

Thomas' POV

The ride to the hospital is quiet and full of anxiety as I squeeze the living shit out of Ares' hand.

I thought I still had time to get used to the fact that I was pregnant and that I was having a baby soon. Rationally I know that I've been pregnant for almost nine months and I should be ready but I was counting on Ares and Zander it be my turning point that allowed me to finally get it together.

And of course the stupid bitch Goddess had to make me have Zion first.

I'm starting to get real sick of this lady.

My grip on my lovers hand doesn't waver as we race through the streets, only barely making lights and tapping the breaks at stop signs. His driving is not helping the fact that I'm año to bring a child into this world.

We finally get to the hospital and I open my door, waiting for Zack to meet me in front of the car. As soon as I feel his fingers in mine, we get in the hospital, and before I can say anything, a random ass bat is brought from the other side of his body and pointed at the nurse sitting in the reception area. "He's about to have one of our kids. We need a doctor now." He tells her, his grey eyes getting a slight glow to them and she's quick to alert everyone she's needs and soon I'm laying on a table Zack standing above me, eyes on mine softly.

But of course he makes sure to take the time to glares and raise his lip at anyone that helps remove my clothes and begin checking me.

And this is why I always told him Chloe could come with me with my appointments. I told him it was because he's had a baby before, but it was honestly because I knew that if he saw how hands on these doctors tried to get, they would end up in a bed too, on the other side of the hospital.

"Hold on, kitten. Let me go call everyone. I'll be right back." He tells me softly, kissing me on the forehead he turns to glare at the male doctors who's about to check on me again before he leaves the room.

I sit there with rising panic in my throat and my eyes screwed shut before I hear a throat cleared.

"Thomas?" I open my eyes and look at the nurse to the left of me.

"We checked on you and ran a few tests and we can say they were just phantom contractions and normal pain. You're so stressed about it that you're body is mimicking the birth. You still have another two weeks or so left. Make sure you drink lots of water and relax." He tells me and I listen to him talk at a distance as relief floods me. I was not ready.

Ares comes back in with a smile and I feel my own dim a little bit, knowing how excited he was for us to have our first baby. "You okay, kitten?" He asks me and I give him a softly smile before reaching for his hand.

"Babe, the baby isn't coming yet. It was just normal pains, false alarm." I tell him. I watch as the light in his eyes fade a little and disappointment shine bright making me feel like shit about the instant relief I felt but he quickly covers it up.

"Well we have test run practice now. We'll go home and watch a few movie-" I look back at him from watching the doctors and nurses and I see his face turn red as his grey eyes look at my pale ones.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure. I think I just peed on myself." He says and I can tell that though his masculinity is very much in tact, this is not something that is good for the ego. And he has a big one to nurse.

"Sir, did you say you peed on yourself?" The stupid male nurse said and I want to pick up the bat and hit him in the head with it. "Did you feel a popping sensation?" He asks and I frown as I turn back towards Ares who gives a slight nod. "Congratulations sir, you're going into Labor." He says before he starts giving instructions and I laugh loudly, excitement and the irony of it all making me laugh and clap.

Ares turns towards me with a crooked dazed grin and I'm helped off the bed waiting for Zander to finally touch the air.

✨✨✨

"You're going to be the most bad ass kid in the world, little man. You're going to kick ass and protect your family and you're going to be the meanest, sweetest little shit ever." I watch with tears in my eyes as Ares looks down at the dark haired baby bundle in his arms.

Zander's birth was filled with tears, yelling and threats. The tears were from the nurses that go scared.

Ares is going to give someone a heart attack one day.

"He's so tiny." I say in awe, my pointer finger in the tiniest hand I've ever seen in my life, our little baby Zander sleeping away. While the whole having the baby seems just as scary as ever, looking down at the small child that I helped make is causing my heart so squeeze in joy and awe, a little bit more excited to have my own baby.

"I think I want another tattoo. One for him and one for Zion. I think I'm going to wait until his scent comes in. He just smells like baby and me." Ares tells me, grinning up at me with the realest smile I've ever seen in his face.

"I love you." I tell him, frowning to myself as my eyes well up, my heart aching at the amount of adoration and care flooding me as our small family grows bigger.

"You are my life." He tells me with his own frown and fresh tears reach my eyes. There's a knock on the door as a scared looking nurse polls her head through.

"I tried to hold them back but your family forced their way back here." She says fearfully and I shake my head in shame and slight embarrassment while Ares laughs and tells her to let them in. I watch with joy as the rest of our large, growing family comes in, their eyes soft and proud as they take us in.

Hahaha plot twist. Is that what you guys were expecting? I definitely feel better this morning but I'll have to eat soon because I'm crazy hungry. I don't know how much I'll be able to get done this morning but I have three hours so I'm hoping at least four chapters. I might so short stories to make myself feel like I'm doing something.

Thoughts?
