i eat my food slowly as the bland flavour slides down my throat, i reach my meat and chew on it, not quite satisfied with the flavour, but i eat it anyway. i got insanely tired of holding the heat pack to my stomach so i found some tape and strapped it to my stomach loosely so i'm not squashing my stomach. i look up when i hear someone humming, i turn my head and see their dad again, i look down at the counter and pout, "afternoon, my beautiful!" i hear a kiss and instantly miss the twins, "Raden?" I look up to him and he sighs, "how are you feeling, heard you had a bit of a problem?" he asks and i sigh.

he's the current alpha right? doesn't that mean he's in charge of the twins and whatever he says goes?

i look up to him with pleading eyes, "can you get Aidan and Nathan out of school?" i ask and he sighs.

"i'm sorry, i can't, the only time i can get them out of school is around the time you give birth!" he says pointing at me and i drop my head on the table.

"but that's ages away!" i wine and whimper as i hear him sigh.

theres a moment of silence before he answers, "I'll see what i can do!" he says and i look up with glowing eyes only to be cut off by a knocking. his eyes snap to the direction of the door as we hear it open.

"where is he?!" I freeze.

"oh, it's-" i cut him off when i jump over to counter and hide behind him and mum, my breathing heavy and quick as he looks at me with confusion, i shake my head to him when her voice echo's louder. i look over to the entrance and see her stood there, my eyes widen.

"you and these fucking mutts, get here now!" I move away from her.

"please no, i can't!" i whimper.

"oh, put your fox to bed and come here now, you have caused me enough trouble with those aparent mates of yours, i bet you only did it to get out of work!" I move around the counter as she tries to move around to me, i go to run for the exit but she is female, she is swifter and she grabs me by the neck and drags me forwards.

"help" i try to get out of her grip, i grab her arm with mine but let out a yelp of pain as i feel a snap, "AH-" i shout out in pain when i suddenly fall to the floor, i curl up as i sob, knowing theres not much i can do, her foot comes in contact with my chest and i shout out when i hear another crack, my breathing painful, she pulls her leg down, this time aiming it to my stomach, "Wait, no, PLEASE!" I scream as she throws it towards my stomach. i scream out in pain, crying loudly as she goes to take another hit but is thrown across the place by a large black wolf, one that isn't familiar to me, i dont attempt to move as i feel myself begin to throw up, the pain unberable as i cry in pain, my breathing hurting, my stomach hurting, my chest hurting.

"oh my god!" i hear mum shout in suprise as she rushes over to me, "i'll call the twins!" i cry some more as she pulls her phone out, my cries loud and pained, "Get home, Raden's mum ca-" she stops when the phone hangs up and the door swings open.

i cry loudly as Nathan comes over to me, Aidan assisting his dad. Nathan is shaking and looks to be on the edge of crying, "where does it hurt?" he panics and i just cry.

"i'm here, i'm here!" i hear the doctor as my actual mothers voice is heard in the background, "now, where was he hit?" he quickly asks as i feel something poke into me.

"um, his arm, his rib, his stomach and his neck!" she lists and Nathan growls lowly as the pain begins to go away.

"he's already healing, but i need to do a check one the cubs, can you bring him downstairs?" he asks and Nathan picks me up in a shakey grip, walking me quickly, i am placed back down as the pain is nearly gone, but i continue to cry in pain, "yes i know!" he says and comes closer to me, he wraps something around my arm and then sits me up carefully and does the same to my chest, he checks my neck and looks for any other injuries while Nathan stands beside me, whispering sweet nothings to me, "okay!" he says while i sob, the pain taking it's toll on me as someone else walks in with a big machine, the doctor begins to feel around my stomach area and i cry out at the pain that assists his movements, everything in me worrying over my cubs, he places something wet on my stomach and rubs something around it while i whimper at the ache that comes with. he sighs in relief, "okay, so, they are only in a bit of stress, but like i said before, his womb has shifted to a different area for protection, but it's a tight spot, as soon as you calm down it will go back to normal, the pain is just bruising, but it is already healing!" he explains softly as i sob, "have you taken your tablets today?" he asks and i nod, "good, and what meat have you eaten today?" he asks and i look to mum.

"sausages!" she says softly, "and bacon!" she says and i sniffle, he then walks out and comes back in with a small chunk of meat, mum scrunches her nose at the raw meat but he walks up to me.

"calm down and you can have it, but you have to promise to eat it slow, too much preasure could cause a problem!" he points his finger and i sniffle but nod.

Aidan bursts through the door and comes over to me, looking over me, "that bitch!" he growls, "I'll fucking kill her!" he says turning back around and going to walk back out.

"no wait!" i call out and he turns to me, he takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down before he walks over to me and climbs into bed, Nathan on the other side, mum walks back out and i begin to cry again, both of them holding me close.

"it's alright, little red!" Nathan coos, "tomorrow we are staying home, we need to be here to protect you!" he says and i sob, calming down with their warmth and scent.

"no more alarm clocks!" i say with a sad voice and they breaht a laugh.

"no more alarm clocks!" they say in unison. i let out a breath, feeling my heart rate calm down.

"do you want your gamon?" Nathan asks as i eye it up as it sits on the table over at the other side of the room, i sit up to go get it but i am pulled back down so my stomach rumbles as a reply and i look down with red cheeks, slightly annoyed at not being able to go get the meat, "i'll take that as a yes!" he laughs and gets up.

as he walks to the gamon, mum walks into the room with the heat pack, i hum my thanks in response to it and sit up slowly to take it from her, i notice that it's a different one, it's a bunny rabit teddy, "i baught you one seems as that other one is old and doesn't keep the water warm that much!" she passes it to me and i lay back down, humming at the soothing warmth.

i look to Nathan as he walks over to me with the chunk of meat in his hand, i take it from him and eat it, "slowly, my love!" Aidan says and i take my time to eat it, feeling tiredness run over me, but i'm tired of sleeping, i'm restless and i want to do something... but i'm so tired...

i finish my meat and when i'm done they both move around a bit, curling up to me snuggly and with the warmth around my stomach i feel the movement and find myself relaxing deeply.
