***Remi's POV***

Something was wrong, like seriously wrong. Talon leans over the commode with me holding his head off the toilet seat. The sweat that races down his face, a clear indication of sickness.

"Water." He croaks out dryly. "Please."

Talon whimpers into the toilet bowl as another violent attack from his guts heaves forward.

"Must be something you ate. Ally is puking her guts up as we speak." I wipe my Luna's forehead with a cloth.

"Why aren't you sick?" He accuses with a sad glare.

"I'm healthier because of my Alpha genes." I coo as I carry him down stairs to the couch.

I look over and watch Lloyd cringe before jumping up and bolting to the front porch. Talon jumps up right behind him. I immediately follow.

"You okay?" I ask between watching his stomach expelling water.

"What the fuck did we eat?" Lloyd whines while Lutz cringes behind him.

"No telling." Lutz rubs Lloyd's back.

"You two are cute. I'm happy for you." I turn my head as Lyle stares towards Lutz and Lloyd.

"Thanks man." Lutz smiles.

"When do you turn 18?" Jace pulls Ally into his arms as he requests the answer.

"Another week." Lyle smiles.

"You excited?" I ask.

"Absolutely." Lyle shakes his head as his smile widens.

They finish their triple performance and sit back on the porch. Each of us holding tightly to our mates. Lyle brings them all fresh bottles of water. I thank him but watch Talon refrain from drinking. His stomach can't afford to empty yet again.

"I feel an overwhelming need to nap." Talon whispers.

I nod my head in agreement and help him back to the couch. I sit down and pull him into my arms. It seems like only seconds tick by before Talon whistles his breaths of sleep into the air. I look over and see Lloyd and Ally all sleeping as well.

"We all ate the same meals. Didn't we?" I ask, perturbed.

"I know I ate the same. I feel perfect." Lloyd whispers quietly.

"This is Ally's second day." Jace admits.

"Not to be a bummer, Alpha." Lyle starts.

"What is it?" I ask, truly interested.

"Only the partners are sick. Just a bit intriguing. How long ago did Lloyd and Lutz mate? Two weeks. You understand?" Lyle speaks cryptically.

"Oh for fuck's sake." Lutz groans.

"Didn't you use protection?" Jace cackles.

"Fuck no. I was so caught up. I just bred him raw." Lutz throws his hand over his eyes.

"I definitely haven't." Jace smirks wickedly.

"Yeah, once we had the go, there was no way our Luna was allowing anything except skin to skin." I admit.

"Tell ya what" Lyle chuckles.

Lyle gets quiet and his eyes glaze over. He smiles widely and sits back with his hands propped behind his neck.

No sooner than I go to open my mouth, does Jenny come waltzing in. Her smile could light a dark cave.

"I'm gonna take three samples. Should know within the hour." Jenny giggles.

"You are really enjoying this." Lutz whines.

"Hell yeah, I am." Jenny laughs.

She is so gentle with the blood draw that not a single one of our mates even flinch. She saunters off and I swear I see her skip.

"So, I'm definitely ready for a pup." Jace grins.

"Fuck yeah." I fist bump my Beta.

"I just got my mate. I don't want to share." Lutz whimpers.

"Shoulda wrapped it before you tapped it." Lyle snickers.

"I pray to the Moon Goddess that you get pregnant the first time." Lutz points at Lyle.

"Please do." Lyle rubs his hands together wickedly. That smirk tells me he isn't a bottom.

I turn on a movie, Twilight. Nothing else is on, but none of us seem to mind.

An hour later, we are throwing shade at the production crew.

"They got to be kidding me." Lyle groans.

"What the fuck is with that shitty filming?" Lutz barks.

"The other four are better." I promise.

"Talon is going to be so mad." Lyle promises.

"Why?" I ask incredulously.

"He has been begging to have a Twilight marathon." Lutz laughs.

"You fucking set me up." I accuse.

"Awe, your first marital spat." Jace chuckles.

"Fuck you both. Actually, I hope neither of you get off ever again." I grind my teeth. My baby is going to be so upset. I didn't know though. That counts for something, right? Oh, shit I'm in so much trouble. I run my palm harshly against my face. I'm dead. Goodbye world.

"For Christmas' sake, Alpha. Calm down. You have him by 50 pounds. You can't actually be worried that Talon is gonna be upset?" Jace laughs manically at the shit he started.

"I need a new Beta." I huff out.

"Remi." Jace whined. He drops his eyes and flutters his lashes. He pouts his lips.

"You look ridiculous." Lutz guffaws.

"I will take the blame." Lyle offers.

"Thanks." I smile.

"Wowww." Jace grabs his side as he breaks out into a fit of laughter.

"Shut up. Mutt." I teasingly growl at my best friend and Beta.

"I'm wounded." Jace whimpers.

"You're going to be if you wake your Luna." I threaten.

As if on cue, Talon blinks his baby blue eyes and rubs his fist across his lashes. A petite yawn escapes his beautiful lips.

"Oh, Baby. I'm sorry." I immediately begin my apology tour.

"It's okay." Talon whispers. He nuzzles into my chest and stretches like a kitty cat.

"I haven't told you what I did." I grimace.

"It will still be okay." Talon reaches up and pecks my cheek.

"Jace woke you." Lyle blurts out.

Jace gasps and whispers Benedict Arnold under his breath.

"I accidentally watched Twilight without you." I admit solemnly.

"Will you watch it with me?" Talon asks. He strokes my cheek with his thumb.

"Of course, Love." I smile down at his angelic face.

"All better." Talon reaches up and kisses my lips softly.

When we break our moment of bliss, I poke my head over Talon and stick my tongue out at Jace.

"Real mature, Alpha." Jace smiles.

"What?" Talon asks.

"Nothing, Baby." I whisper.

Our cat fight is interrupted by Nurse Jenny waltzing thru the door of the pack house. She holds a clip board in her hand. She smiles as her eyes meet mine.

"Is everything okay?" I ask concerned.

"Perfect." Jenny nods in confirmation.

"What's wrong with them?" Lyle asks.

"Nothing." Jenny hums, giving nothing away.

"Why are they sick?" Jace asks. His hands rub Ally comfortingly across her back.

"They aren't, not really." Jenny shrugs, her grin widening.

I stare at her like she has lost her fucking marbles.

"Explain, Mom." Lyle urges.

"Nothing to worry over. They should all be better in a couple weeks." Jenny explains.

"What kind of food poison lasts a couple weeks?" Talon whines.

"None." Jenny giggles.

I give her a look that hopefully conveys cut the shit.

"So, blood tests have revealed that you are the father." Jenny busts out laughing while pointing to me, Lutz and Jace. "Congratulations."

"What?" I ask.

"Their pregnant, Alpha." Lyle clarifies.

I'm sure the three of us look like dehydrating fish. Our lips popping up and down in unison.

"How is that possible?" Lloyd bellows.

"Well, when the semen gets in the tubes..." Jenny starts.

Lyle busts out laughing.

"I mean like three of us at once." Lloyd corrects.

"Easy, you had sex around the same time." Jenny continues her giggles.

"Thank you Jenny." I stand and hug her before turning to look at a sobbing Talon.

I rush to his side and grab his face gently. I kiss his lips and stroke the tears off his cheeks.

"It's okay baby. Don't cry. Why are you upset?" I worry.

"I'm not upset. Not at all. I'm just emotional. It's just that. I'm so fuckkking happpy." Talon stutters thru his sniffles.

"Me too Baby." I kiss his lips over and over. I wrap my arms around his waist, pulling him into me. My fingers splay across his tummy.

"I'm gonna be a Daddy!" Jace jumps into the air and does something that looks like an African mating ritual dance.

"Put that away." Lyle laughs.

I clutch my stomach as the muscles tighten from my laughter.

Ally kisses Jace as they hug one another. A look of bliss and elation gracing her beautiful face.

"Lutz? You guys are quiet." I accuse.

"Um, we are just a little shocked." Lloyd speaks softly. His eyes lay on his stomach as his fingers hover close, but don't touch his flat abdomen.

"What's wrong. This is a blessing from the Moon Goddess." Talon smiles like he won the lottery.

"What if we fuck up? What if we are bad parents?" Lutz cries.

I stand up and Talon follows me. We both sit beside the nervous couple and grab their hands.

"You will be wonderful parents. You will give this child the love you were given. You will have an entire pack, including your best friends here to help you. None of us have raised a pup, but I know we will all be good at it. You aren't the mistakes from your past. You both have grown and matured so much these last few months. You will continue to do great." Talon compliments the pair.

"Listen to your Luna. He is wise beyond his years." A voice breaks in. My Dad stands in the door way smiling like a fein.

"Dad, I suppose you heard the great news?" I grin from ear to ear.

"That I'm going to have a grand pup to spoil absolutely rotten?" Yes. I am over the moon. Congratulations to you all." My Dad walks over to Talon and pulls him into a huge bear hug.

"Talon, you are going to be the best daddy. Thank you." He kisses my love's head.

"Thank you, Alpha." Talon whispers. He rubs his non existent stomach as he speaks.

Dad comes over and hugs me, ruffling my hair and stating how proud he is of me.

"Does Luna know?" Talon asks.

"She's online looking at cribs." My Dad chuckles.

"I wanna look at cribs." Lloyd inserts.

"You do?" Lutz smiles at his mate.

"Mmhmm. Can I?" Lloyd suddenly smiles and he looks absolutely angelic. A softness kisses his features.

"Why don't you three go to my office and join Luna. I will stay and give the big speech to your mates." My Dad ushers Ally, Lloyd and Talon to join my mom. They all stand and bid us goodbye excitedly.

"So, the big speech?" I ask.

"Yeah, don't fuck this up. Your mates will be hungry, moody and amazing. Cherish them. Your pups will be the biggest joy you have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Enjoy this. Being a first time Daddy comes only once. Now let's get a beer and watch sports." My Dad guffaws.

We follow Dad to the kitchen and then down to the game room. He turns on some human football and we kick back to relax.

"I can't believe I'm going to have a baby." Lutz breathes out. "I'm so lucky."

"Yeah we all are." Jace agrees.

The rest of the night goes quickly as we are congratulated endlessly by pack members. Mom brings our mates back with stacks of paper she printed off from the internet. She had everything from shopping lists to books we will need to read. I take every sheet with a whole hearted promise to take this seriously.

As the evening rolls on, I notice how tired my baby is. I excuse us and take my drifting mate up to our suite. I lay him down gently before unclothing us and tucking us into bed.

Talon cuddles up to my chest and draw soothing circles on his back as he drifts off in my arms. I nuzzle into his body and take in his slightly changing scent. He's sweeter some how and twice as alluring. I quickly chase the thought of a mid nite rendezvous from my mind. Talon needs his rest. His body is growing our pup.

Our pup.

I smile as I close my eyes.

Moon Goddess, thank you for placing this precious man in my hands.
