Harvest Moon: Bound to My Four Stepbrothers

Chapter 124 Ace And Madison

Hunter’s P.O.V. Everyone is waiting outside as Uncle Todd pulls to a stop and Peter jumps out of the car to help June get out, the moment she is out of the car she rushes towards Papa. Benjamin jumps into Pops’ arms, while Cara looks at Mom with a smile on her face. Aunt Sasha walks towards mom with tears in her eyes, “I never thought I would see you again.” She whispers as she wraps her arms around Mom and I introduce Uncle Todd to Gabe and Brent before I turn to introduce him to Dad. Peter stays by the car to keep an eye on the Pups and Max walks over to see why Peter isn’t stepping away from the car, “Aunt Sasha, I didn’t know you were expecting when we last saw each other.” He says after he has seen both Pups in their car-seats. “Max, I think if Dad has to raise another Pup he might run for the hills.” Peter says and Max chuckles as he keeps looking at the Pups. “Max and Peter, why don’t the two of you get the Pups out of the car? Than we can go to our wing and have a few moments before dinner is served.” I say. Aunt Sasha did as I had asked her and everyone can see that there is a male and a female. Mom is holding June as we walk back into the Palace and some of the Omegas stop Max and Peter to take a look at both little Pups, knowing they will be seeing more of them. Once we are in the living room Peter hands the male Pup to Gabe, before he takes the female Pup from Max to hand her to Victor. “Hunter, can I go see the gardens? I want to see if they are as beautiful as you described.” Pater asks and I tell him he is free to explore as long as he doesn’t wander off to far. Cara, Benjamin and June decide to join him and I link Daphne to keep an eye on them, which she is more than willing to do with Jack. Martha walks in with some refreshments, after putting them down she looks at Victor and Gabe, “You will all make great parents, someday.” She says. Matt’s P.O.V. I stare at Peter as he places the little girl into Victor’s arms and I want to ask him what this is about, but she pulls my attention towards her as she starts babbling. She has bright blue eyes and I agree with Martha Victor looks amazing holding her. Gabe and Brent are enthralled by the little boy in Gabe’s arms and I know that they will get the okay to adopt from the agency as soon as they have found a Pup for them to adopt. If their experience with this agency is good, Victor and I might have to discuss adopting a Pup. Victor told me he always wanted Pups, but knew it would be challenging with a male Mate. Laws are not on our side, at least not yet, but we know that that will change soon as Hunter and Daniel are working on those and I can’t wait for the day we are able to call a Pup our own. Gabe’s P.O.V. I want to tell Peter to hand the Pup to someone else, but the second I look into the Pup’s dark brown eyes I am hooked and I hope that we will be able to adopt within the year. He has a hold on Brent’s finger and I chuckle as Brent tells me that he is strong. From time to time Brent tries to pull his finger out of the boy’s little hand, but he grabs it tighter every time Brent tries to pull away and the expression on his face shows us he doesn’t like what Brent is trying to do. Both our parents walk into the living room as the little boy starts crying, because Brent is still trying to pry his finger out of his hand. “Brent, don’t tease the Pup. You were exactly the same as a little Pup.” Drew says and Mom tells me I would react the same way if Dad did that to me. Dad chuckles as he confirms that I could scream on the top of my lungs if he did it to me. Everyone is taking pictures of us and of Victor and Matt with the little girl. I wonder why Hunter didn’t tell anyone that their Aunt was expecting twins, but then I remember Peter’s remark and I start to wonder if these two Pups are not their Pups. Hunter’s P.O.V. Aunt Sasha told me through the mind-link that Peter and Cara are aware of the plans for the Pups and now Peter’s actions make sense to me. It is amazing to see those big, bulky Lycans turn to jello at the sight of a little Pup and I can’t wait to see my Mates with our Pups. Everyone is seated with a drink in their hands as Gabe hands the little boy to Brent and Victor hands the little girl to Matt, Jason is taking a few pictures as he tells me through the mind-link, “These are the first pictures of them with their Pups, their first pictures as parents.” I love the fact that Jason kept in mind they are unaware of the fact that this is their first time holding their Pup, normally a new parent would be taking tons of pictures of their Mate with their Pup. Jason is making sure they have pictures to remind them of their first time holding them. “Brent, you keep referring to him as Pup. Why don’t you use his name?” Dad asks and I nearly fall of my seat in stiches as Brent stares at him, “How am I supposed to call him by his name if no one told me his name?” Brent asks and the room goes quiet. “BeeBee, what would you name him if it were up to you and Gabe?” I ask and I use his nickname to remind him to think carefully about a name. Apparently Gabe and Brent had talked about names for a Pup, because without thinking about it twice he says, “Ace.” “Than that will be his name.” I say and Brent looks at me bewildered, but I don’t say a word as I turn towards Matt and Victor and I ask them the same question. They look at each other and everyone can tell they are mind-linking, it takes a few moments before Matt turns to Mom. “If it is okay with you, we would name her Madison.” He is referring to our last name and Mom nods her head with tears in her eyes. Dad gets up from his seat and everyone looks at him, waiting for what is to come. “I would like to welcome Ace and Madison to the family. Ace and Madison, your Fathers will protect you and keep you safe from this day forward. They are the best Fathers a Pup can ask for and I can’t wait to see you running around the Palace with our Pup.” Dad says. Brent’s P.O.V. That friend of mine, that calls himself our King has lost his mind. Asking me why I don’t call the Pup by his name, how can I if I don’t know his name? When Hunter asks me what name I would give him I already know the answer, it is something Gabe and I discussed when we decided we wanted to adopt a Pup. Hearing her say that that would be his name I am a little disappointed that we won’t be able to name our Pup with that name first, but I don’t think it would be much of an issue if there are two Pups running around with the same name. I am to preoccupied with Ace to pay any attention to the rest of the conversation, until Daniel gets up to draw everyone’s attention towards him and when I hear him say that Ace will have the best Fathers a Pup can ask for I am knocked for a loop. I glance at Hunter to see a huge smile on her face and I realize that this little boy will be ours to raise. “Welcome home, Ace.” I whisper as Gabe looks at our Son with tears in his eyes. Victor’s P.O.V. Hunter’s question catches me and Matt off guard, it is not something we have thought about as we have not really discussed the subject of adoption yet. Matt links me to ask for my opinion and I tell him I have never thought about names for a Pup, because I didn’t have a Mate to discuss it with. Suddenly a name comes to mind, “Maybe we can ask the Queen if she would mind if we named her Madison.” I say and he asks me why we would need to ask the Queen about it, “It is her last name, Matt.” And before I can say anything else he is already addressing Aspen. Matt’s jaw drops as Daniel welcomes Ace and Madison to the family and when I see my Brother with his Mate and Matt’s Parents smiling at us I know Hunter thought of this. I also think I know where the Pups are coming from and I know that with us Ace and Madison will have the best life possible. “Hunter, we might have a slight problem concerning Ace and Madison. We don’t have a nursery to put them in or anything a newborn Pup might need.” I say and the smile on Vincent’s face becomes even bigger. “Victor, I thought you knew me better than that.” She says as she looks at me. “Emma, Ella and Mom have been working hard to get everything arranged for their arrival and the four of you have contributed to their nursery without realizing it. Everyone has pitched in, with their time or their ideas and after dinner we will go to the Throne room to welcome these two Pups to our family in the proper way.” She says and I can face palm myself for even thinking she might have overlooked something.Hunter’s P.O.V. I see a look of terror on Brent and Victor’s face as Martha stands in front of them with a bottle and I nearly end up in stitches as Brent looks at his Mom while Victor looks at his Mother in law, not knowing what to do. Matt grabs the bottle from Martha and leans over Madison, who opens her mouth the moment he touches her lips. Gabe follows Matt’s lead and soon both Pups are latched to the bottle, Ace has finished his bottle in no time while Madison takes her time.
