Harvest Moon: Bound to My Four Stepbrothers
Hunter’s P.O.V. After hearing her say the Pup instead of our or her Pup I knew there was a chance she was not pregnant at all, but I would wait until I heard from Doc whether or not she was pregnant and then I would have a serious conversation with her. If she is pregnant but is unwilling or unable to take care of her Pup I will make sure someone else will raise that Pup. Justice hands me the perfect solution if she is willing to accept it, but I will wait until morning to discuss this with her. I ignore her words as I pull Justin with me and head back up the stairs with my Mates in tow. I quickly take off my clothes and crawl back into bed, sleeping before I have the time to pull the sheets over me. Feather light kisses being placed on my face is what wakes me in the morning and I slowly open my eyes as a smile spreads across my face. “Goodmorning, Princess.” Justin mumbles against my cheek. “Goodmorning, PJ.” I whisper as I look into his eyes. I start kissing his face as he lays there next to me and suddenly I sit up straight as I sense that my other Mates are not here. “They are in with the rest of the family, June snuck in here and woke all of us. Jax was fast enough to grab her before she could wake you up as well.” He states. I giggle as I picture June running around the room, waking up everyone in the room one by one and I look Justin in the eyes as I say, “Than we better lock our Pups in their rooms.” His eyes widen at my words and I start giggling as I see Slade joining him. “Careful, Princess.” Slade growls. “You will get yourself into trouble if you say things like that.” I know none of them would mind a handful of Pups somewhere in our future and I know they will be great Fathers to each Pup, no matter who the paternal Father is. “I want to go home as soon as I have talked to Doc and that stupid female. There is a lot I have to discuss with Dad before I summon the Elders and address this issue on underaged Mates. I need to hear what the four of you think about it and I want to hear what Mom has to say on this subject.I can understand the Elder that removed the Law from common knowledge, but I don’t think he understands the damage his decision can cause a couple and for that reason I asked the couples you found to meet me at the Place. I will contact Elder Matthew and tell him that I want every Elder at the Palace at eleven in the morning two days from today.” Justin nods his head and half an hour later we are all heading down the stairs for breakfast. Breakfast is a noisy, chaotic event with my entire family present and I enjoy my coffee as I look around the table at my family. Alpha Quinten tells me that Doc is ready for us and I ask Emma and Ella to accompany me, leaving my Mates with my family. Doc tells us the female is indeed pregnant and further along than she had suspected herself, she still had a month and a half to go. She is sitting there looking rather unaffected by the news she will be a Mother in 6 weeks and I ask her how she feels about it. “I never wanted Pups, I still don’t want Pups and I truly don’t care about this Pup.” She mumbles. “Doc, can you tell me the gender of the Pup?” I ask. “Not that it matters for what I have in mind, but I would like to know.” Alpha Quinten asks me what I have in mind, while Doc is making an ultrasound. “I need you to place her under surveillance as I don’t want her to hurt this Pup she is carrying, once the Pup is born I want you to send Uncle Todd and Aunt Sasha with their Pups to the Palace for a week and I want them to bring the newborn Pup with them. I have the perfect couple that is going to love raising this Pup as their own, but I am not going to tell you who they are.” I say as I see Doc’s eye’s get wider as he is looking at the screen. “I have never seen this before, I have heard of it but never seen it myself.” He mumbles. He points out that there are two amniotic sacs and that indicates that there are two males involved. Her eyes widen at his words and I ask her if she knows who the other male is, but I already have a feeling I know the answer to that question. She gives me the answer I was expecting and I have an even bigger smile on my face as I already know what I want to do. Doc tells me one is a girl and the other a boy, I tell Alpha Quinten I want both of the Pups at the Palace after they are born and he tells me that it will be the best solution.Emma and Ella have guessed what I am up to and I know they agree with me on this whole heartedly. They tell me they will take care of everything that needs to be purchased and I know they will get all the help they need from their parents. We walk back into the Pack-house as I hand the ultrasound pictures to Emma and she puts them in the notebook she has always with her just in case anyone of us needs to write something down. Victor is staring at his phone, while Matt tries to get his attention and Max steps behind Victor to glance at the phone. “Vincent and his Mate are expecting their first Pup.” He yells and that shakes Victor out of his daze, a huge smile spreading across his face. Matt hugs him as he scrawls onto his lap, we all know that Vincent and Sandy have been trying for years to have Pups. I see a twinkle in Ella’s eyes as she turns towards Matt and I have an idea what she is going to do, “That makes the two of you to become parents next.” She says and I see Victor staring at her as Matt is looking from Victor to Ella and back again. Jason looks at Ella as he thinks about her words and then he replies, “No, I think that Brent and Gabe should be next or Mom and Dad.” Making us all burst out in laughter and Ella asks how he figured that. “Well, they have been mated and marked a year longer than Victor and Matt.” We can’t argue with his logic and then of course my genius little Peter has to open his yap, “I think there might be a slight little problem with your reasoning, only Aunt Aspen can get pregnant.” Pops and Papa both choke on their coffee and I wonder how they are going to handle this observation. “Peter, you are right. Only Aunt Aspen can get pregnant, but to become a parent you don’t have to give birth to a Pup. Caring for a Pup, loving a Pup and providing for a Pup is what makes you a parent.” Max answers him. Cara walks over to Matt and Victor as she asks, “Will you adopt a Pup one day?” Matt pulls her onto his lap and tells her if they get the chance to adopt a Pup they will. “I know you will make great Dads to a Pup one day.” She replies. We all agree with her and I know that they will take good care of any Pup they ever adopt in the future. “Princess, everything is ready for our departure. We have to say goodbye now if we want to be home in time for lunch.” Jayce says and June jumps into my arms.I hug Peter, Cara, Benjamin and June one by one and then I pull all four of them in for a group hug. I tell them they will be visiting us soon and that I know Mom will love to meet them as much as they want to meet her, I say my goodbyes to the rest of my family after that. Pops and Papa decide to stay a few days longer before heading home, but I make them promise to be there when I am going to address the Elders and Papa says he doesn’t want to miss it for anything in the world. I get behind the wheel of my SUV and Jayce settles into the seat next to me as my other Mates sit right behind us. It is a good thing the SUV is spacious otherwise it would have looked ridiculous with the three of them sitting next to one another. As we drive back to the Palace we talk about everything that happened since we got to Three Mountain Pack and I know they are curious as to what happened in the infirmary, but they are not asking any questions. “She still has six weeks to go before giving birth, but Alpha Quinten has put her under surveillance to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself or the Pup and after that the Pup will be given up for adoption as she doesn’t want anything to do with the Pup.” I tell them, but I leave out the plans I made with Alpha Quinten. We stop for coffee at the same place we stopped at on the way over to Three Mountain Pack, but this time I get back behind the wheel myself as we continue our journey home.
