I stood and moved my now sleeping daughter to a pram in the corner and came back to sit on the side of the bed. ‘’The doctors are worried because of your injuries that it might be best if we end the pregnancy.’’ Makayla’s eyes widened, and I took her hand. ‘’If that’s what we decide baby we can try again later, once you have healed.’’ ‘’We can’t kill them, Wade!’’ ‘’I know baby, I don’t want to either. But carrying twins in taxing on any woman. You’ve been through a lot. I was worried you wouldn’t come back to me.’’ Makayla snuggled into me. ‘’No Wade, promise me.’’ Id torn myself up over this every day since the doctors spoke with me. I couldn’t risk Makayla. I didn’t want to end the pregnancy. ‘’Wade! Promise me! If anything happens… the babies come first. I don’t care.’’ ‘’Makayla, I can’t lose you.’’ ‘’This is important to me Wade; I won’t do it. Please promise me. I can get through this.’’ I was silent. I felt like a monster. I knew that given the choice I would still choose Makayla. If they told me Makayla wouldn’t get through the pregnancy I’d hold her down myself. I knew what it was like to sit beside her lifeless body and watch as her heart stopped beating. I wouldn’t do it again.
MAKAYLA
Wade was silent as he held me. I was reeling. I touched my stomach and was shocked. I lifted the sheet. ‘’Oh god, I'm pregnant! How long was I in a coma? My stomach is already big!’’ I looked at Wade, my eyes round as saucers. ‘’ I'm going to be like an elephant!’’ Wade pulled me into a hug. ‘’There’s two in there, honey. They estimate you are about twelve weeks.’’ ‘’I missed the first trimester of my pregnancy?’’ ‘’I told you to wake up, but you wouldn’t listen.’’ Wade choked up. ‘’I’m sorry Wade,’ I whispered. ‘’Shh baby, its ok, I’ll look after all of you. This belongs to you, baby.’’ Wade slid my engagement ring firmly back onto my finger. I smiled at him. ‘’When are you going to marry me?’’
The doctors entered the room rolling a trolley with an ultrasound machine. ‘’OK dear, let’s check out those babies of yours.’’ My heart was beating hard. I looked at Wade, scared. ''Its OK sweetheart. Here give me one second.' He took my daughter and went to the door. ‘’Kait? Could you hold Princess a minute?’’ I heard murmuring and grumpy voices and then Wade returned by himself. ''Our girl loves her Aunt Kait, she will be fine for a minute, and I’ll bring her right back after.'' I nodded, and Wade came back to the bed to hold my hand while the doctors unwound the bandages on my stomach. I sucked in a breath. My stomach was mostly purple and there were staples in my side. ‘’Are you sure they are OK?’’ ‘’They are absolutely perfect. Here let me show you.'' The doctor put some gel on my stomach and started the ultrasound. ‘’OK, here we go. This is twin A. The screen zoomed in as the doctor took measurements on the screen and made markers. He or she is perfect. And this here, this is Twin B.’’ The doctor repeated the measurements. ‘’Would you like to hear their heartbeats?’’ ‘’OK,’’ I whispered. The galloping sound of babies’ heartbeats filled the room.
I looked at Wade. We both had tears in our eyes. ‘’Would you like to see the images in 4D and we can give you some print outs?’’ I didn’t answer, I was too shocked. ‘’Yes, please, that would be great. We can use them for our announcements to our families.” “They don’t know?’’ I whispered. ‘’I thought you would like to tell your family yourself honey, your dad might have an idea.” ‘’Here we go, both babies are cuddled up together. We can tell you the genders if you want to know when we do the next ultrasound.’’ The doctors showed us a few more images of our babies and provided us with some printouts before leaving us.
''Makayla, are you OK?'' ''I don't even know what to think. I'm shocked. What are we going to do, Wade?'' ''We are going to be happy babe, and busy probably.'' Wade laughed. I thought about how my daughter had buried her head in Wade's chest to hide from me. Sparks of jealousy flooded, me even though it was silly. I was truly glad Wade had looked after her, it was clear she loved him. At this moment Wade was probably more equipped to be a parent than I was. ''I'm scared,'' I admitted to Wade. ''Of what baby?'' ''I don't even know my own daughter. I don't know how to be a mum. I don't have a mum to ask. I'm going to have three kids.'' Wade pulled me into a hug. ''I don't know how to be a dad either, but Princess seems pretty fucking content with my winging it.'' I giggled and a sharp pain shot through my stomach. I winced. ''Are you OK?'' ''Yeah, remind me not to laugh.'' Wade pulled back and studied me as he stroked my cheek. ''We will work it out together, honey.'' Wade kissed me passionately. There was a knock at the door. Wade went over and spoke with someone in a heated tone. He came back to me frowning. ''Baby I don’t want to push you, but Kait is adamant she wants to see you right away. I don’t know that we can hide that you are pregnant much longer.'' ''OK, can I talk to her alone?'' Wade looked hurt. ''Sure, I’ll be right outside the door.
Wade left and Kait bustled in within seconds. ''Oh god, Amber I was so fucking worried! Fuck what do I even call you!? Amber? Makayla? I had no idea any of this shit was so crazy!'' Kait came over and held my hand. And then she burst into tears. ''I was so scared. Wade called me to tell me you were hurt, and when I got here you were in an operation. The doctor said he didn’t know if you would make it. Wade was just crying and holding this tiny baby, I had no idea who she was. You have a baby!'' ''I know Kait, I'm as freaked out as you are.’’ ‘’Where did you get a baby?’’ I laughed and winced again. ''Well, the usual way, I guess.'' I took a deep breath and let my secret out. It was over now. ‘’The short version is that I was married before I came here. My ex-husband had her cut her from me, and I thought she died. I was hidden here in Australia. I met Wade, and everything got crazy. My ex found me. I found out she was alive. And now I'm awake with more scars than I had before, and not just one baby but three.'' ‘’What!’’ I pulled back the sheet to expose my purple belly. ‘’What the fuck is that?’’ ‘’Twins.’’ ‘’He raped you?!?!’’ Kait was livid. ''No Kait, Tom didn't rape me. They are Wade's children.’’ ‘’Oh god, I'm having a heart attack here Amber, Makayla, fuck! Between you and your daughter, I don’t know any names.'' ''Its Makayla. And my daughter’s name is Ella, although I hate it.'' ''Well, at least I can call her something. Wade just called her princess all the time and it stuck.''
Kait held my hand. ‘’I'm glad you have Wade; he hasn’t put Ella down for more than 10 minutes. He spends his whole days with her, and she sleeps on his chest most nights. It’s the cutest thing. I tried to encourage him to let her down to play which lasted like five minutes until she tried to crawl, and Wade snatched her up scared she would get hurt. He’s turned into a total marshmallow. Did you see the bling he gave her?’’ ‘’No?’’ “He gave her a diamond-encrusted baby bracelet that matches your ring.’’ Kait fingered my ring. “Like he was proposing to be her Daddy.’’ My heart hurt. I couldn’t want anything more for her. Maybe a little less spoiling but Wade truly loved and cared for my daughter. “So, twins huh, your gonna look like an elephant babe.” “I know! That’s what I said.’’
We looked at each other in silence for a moment. ‘’I can’t believe you are awake. You can’t do that again girl. Wade lost his mind.’’ I winced. ‘’Was he really bad?’’ ‘’The day I painted your toenails was the wor…’’ ‘’I remember. I could hear you. I couldn’t move. I remember though. You painted my toenails black.’’ Kait sobbed. ‘’You could hear us?’’ ‘’Sometimes. I heard you guys begging me to wake up, I tried really hard to open my eyes, but it hurt so bad.’’ ‘’I’m so glad you’re ok.’’ ‘’You didn’t tell me what Wade did when you painted my toes?’’ ‘’Your monitors went off. The doctors had to resuscitate you. Wade thought you died. He got wasted. Jace looked after him though.’’ Kait frowned. ‘’What, Kait? What did he do? I know that look.’’ ‘’He punched Jace a couple of times. He wrote himself off really badly. He was on the war path. Your dad ended up helping Jace and they got him home. They ended up feeding him whiskey, so he would pass out. He’s good though, now. He apologized to everyone. I guess it’s just hard on him.’’
There was a knock at the door and Kait went to talk to whoever was at the door. She came back and kissed me on the forehead. ‘’Wade's going nuts out there with worry. I'm going to convince him to let me take Ella home for the night, so you can talk and rest.’’ While I wanted to spend more time with my daughter, Wade and I had a lot to discuss. ‘’Thank you Kait, don’t call her Ella, I hate it, we will come up with something else.’’ ‘’Princess it is.’’ I smiled. ‘’Love you longtime.’’ Kait choked up. ‘’I never thought I’d hear that again. I didn’t think you would make it.’’ ‘’Me either, I'm sorry Kait.’’ ‘’Love you.’’
Kait left, I heard an argument from the hallway, and she poked her head back in. ''Makayla, Wades being a total wanker.” Wade came into the room. ''She's not taking my daughter she’s fine right here where I can keep her safe!’’ Wade came to sit on the edge of the bed, his teeth set. ‘’Wade, Kait loves her. She will look after her. I need you right now.’’ ‘’No’’ he snapped at me. ‘’Alright mate I’ll do what Amber, fuck, Makayla has wanted to do since she met you and punch you in the balls. I’ll only take her home, feed her, bath her and put her to bed. Send one of your bafoons home with us if you must!’’ I giggled. ‘’I have wanted to punch you in the balls on many occasions.’’ ‘’Well, if you did, you probably wouldn’t be up the duff now!’’ Kait laughed. Wade looked truly torn. ‘’Wade, it’s OK, please.’’
He huffed and begrudgingly handed over my daughter, cooing to her that Daddy would see her first thing in the morning. ''Take Raul with you, and if anything happens to my daughter Kait, I mean it, one scratch.'' ‘’Calm your tits buddy.’’ ‘’See babe she's swearing, in front of her! I'm not doing it!’’ ‘’Wade calm down and come here now. Kait, watch your mouth and go home.’’ Kait poked her tongue out at Wade and left. Wade looked like he was ready to chase her down. ‘’Wade it’s OK, she’s OK.’’ ‘’I just don’t want her hurt.’’ ‘’You need to chill out, she will be fine. Stop spoiling her, you’re a tad over the top.’’ ‘’I'm not spoiling her, she just deserves a lot, she’s been through too much at her age.’’ ‘’She doesn’t need diamonds babe, she’s not even one.’’ Wade looked at me guiltily. ''You heard about that?'' I laughed, ''You're adorable.
Of all the situations I imagined, I never thought it would be this. I didn’t think when Kait told me you had turned into a marshmallow that it would be so true.'' Wade came over to the bed. ‘’I can’t wait to meet these little people. I’ve prayed every night that you would all pull through this.’’ Wade put his hands on my stomach and tears shone in his eyes. Suddenly scared, I realized that the months ahead were going to be very hard, trying to see them into the world safely. ‘’We need to buy a bigger house. Something with a huge yard for the kids to play in. We need room for a trampoline and swings. Shit, we should get a pony!’’ Wade's grin was infectious.
‘’Slow down Wade, we need to see them safely into the world first.'' Wade’s smile disappeared. ''I've already hired the best medical team in the world. I have people flying in from all over the world. I’ve put them in housing for the whole length of your pregnancy. You aren’t leaving a bed until the babies are here.’’ ‘’Wade, don’t be ridiculous, besides, the best thing you can do during pregnancy is stay fit.’’ ‘’You will stay in bed, and we will argue this later after we tell our families about the babies.’’ ‘’When are we telling everyone about the babies?’’ ‘’The sooner the better. Your dad is driving me up the wall demanding to see you. I wanted to have a party and surprise everyone, I don’t know what you think?’’ I smiled. ‘’We can do that, but you can’t keep my dad away until then. Why don’t we tell my dad, so he’s not having a heart attack, and we can tell everyone else at a party when I'm better?’’ ‘’Okay, I only just got you back babe, I'm having trouble sharing you.’’ ‘’I'm not going anywhere Wade.’’ Wade pulled me into his arms. ‘’You are everything, my whole world.’’ I snuggled into his embrace.
When I woke Wade was at the door arguing with someone. I recognized my dad’s voice. ‘’Wade? Dad?’’ Wade turned to me. ‘’Well, you woke her up, so you might as well now’’ he grumped. My dad followed Wade into the room. ‘’Makayla, baby, how do you feel?'' ''Hungry, so that’s good I guess.’’ Wade laughed, ''Well I suppose you should baby.’’ Wade sat next to me beaming. He couldn’t have made it any more obvious something was going on. My dad sat in the chair next to me. ‘’Alright, what gives?’’ I glared at Wade and turned to face my dad. ‘’Wade and I have twins on the way, dad.’’ ‘’Well, your old dad might have done some digging and found out, only reason I didn’t murder Wade for keeping you to himself. Congratulations to both of you. I'm happy for you baby.’’ ‘’Thanks, Dad.’’
Chapter Seventeen
WADE
Finally, after three more weeks, Makayla was allowed home. I was stressed. While I wanted the best care for Makayla, the press was nosing around, and I needed Makayla home before she was too big. I was nervous and anxious to bring her home. To show her what I had done. ‘’Are we going to bring mummy home today my princess?’’ I tickled Kayla, pleased that Makayla had liked my idea. Makayla hated the idea of her daughter being named after Tom's mother. We had changed her name to Kayla, and I had all the paperwork in place to adopt her as soon as Makayla and I were married. Kayla stretched out sleepily in my arms as we entered the hospital room. ‘’Hey baby’’ Makayla smiled brilliantly. She never failed to make my heart pound. I still couldn’t believe my luck. Between Mak, Kayla and the babies, I was a very happy man. Since re-naming Kayla everyone had also renamed Makayla Mak. It seemed to help with the whole Amber/ Makayla name issue, and it stuck.
I walked over to pass Kayla to her mum, so I could help pack bags. ''C'mon, princess give Mummy a cuddle.’’ Kayla clung to me. ‘’Dada.’’ I froze and looked at my baby girl. ‘’Did you say Daddy?’’ ‘’Dada’’ I held her tight; I loved those words. I loved being a dad. ‘’Well, I guess we have a clear favourite then’’ Mak huffed. ‘’I'm not going to pretend I'm not over the moon.’’ I grinned. We packed our things, and Kayla allowed herself to be passed over to her mum, so I could wheel them out. I had tight security today. I wasn’t having Mak's life plastered all over the papers. They would know only what she wanted them to know, and when she wanted them to know it. We headed down to the basement where they had cleared all cars, and there was no access but to us, and our security team. The limo was waiting with Kait inside. I handed Kayla over to Kait to be plugged in, while I helped Mak climb in. Once we were settled, I turned to Kait, she was stroking Kayla's cheek as she fell asleep. ‘’Kayla said another word today,’’ I said smugly. She turned to look at me and glared. ‘’Yep, she said Dada.’’ Kait had been chanting, ‘Kait, Kait, Kait’’ to Kayla for weeks, it was driving me batshit. I turned to Mak to make sure she was OK and let her see how smug I was. ‘’Baby I'm so glad you’re coming home.’’
While Mak had been in the hospital, I had her fully moved in with me. We also had the room next to the master setup as a nursery. It was painted pink and had everything a little princess could want. I got my girls (and Kait) home safely, with no reporters or photos. ''Do you want the bed or the lounge babe?'' ''Lounge, I'm sick of laying down.'' ''OK, but you’re going to take it easy. ‘’Oh my god Mak, I can’t wait for you to see what your pussy fiancé did with Kayla's room.’’ ‘’Nothing would surprise me Kait, is it diamond encrusted?’’ ‘’Almost’’ Kait laughed. I left them to their girl talk while I settled Kayla in bed for her nap. I would never admit to Kait, but yes Kayla's room was a tad over the top. The walls were pink and white with butterflies. I’d had a specially made princess carriage cot built for her. ‘’Night Princess, Daddy loves you.’’
Over the next few weeks, Mak recovered well, her scars were minor, except for the one on her side. It still made me livid when I looked at it. She was now able to move around the penthouse and hold Kayla for short periods. I let myself back into the penthouse, after a few hours in the office, and followed the sounds of squealing and laughter. Mak was on the floor of Kayla's room laying on her back. Her pregnant belly was now very pronounced. I watched as Kayla lay on her stomach. I winced, going into the freakout mode I frequented on a daily basis. But, before I could put a stop to it, Mak and Kayla both erupted into fits of giggles, as the babies kicked and wriggled at their big sister. My heart hurt with the fullness. I stepped openly into the room, and Mak smiled up at me. ''The babies are kicking like crazy. Want to feel?'' I slowly entered and dropped to my knees placing my hands on Mak’s swollen belly. Nothing happened for a minute and then Mak’s whole stomach convulsed as the babies kicked and moved. I couldn’t believe I was going to be a dad, that I was a dad. I kissed Mak's stomach. ''I have a surprise for you if you are up to it.'' Mak smiled brightly up at me. ‘’I feel good.’’
I let my girls into the master bedroom where stylists were waiting to primp and pamper them. I left them and went to get ready myself. When I entered, in my royal blue three-piece suit I was blown away. Kayla wobbled her way over to me, her half crawl/half walk hampered by the royal blue dress she wore. She had tiny silver sandals, and her pretty blond curls had neatly been styled. I looked at Mak and felt a lump in my throat. I truly was the luckiest man alive. Mak wore a stunning, floor-length royal blue dress that matched my suit. It criss crossed over her breasts and tied at the back. There was a thigh-high split in the front. At 25 weeks Mak's bump was incredibly pronounced. I chose now to do this before Mak got any more uncomfortable. ‘’You look so beautiful, Makayla.’’ ‘’You don’t look too bad yourself.’’ I pulled Makayla in for a kiss, deepening it, missing her touch. I loved pregnant Mak. She looked soft and beautiful. Seeing her carrying my babies changed everything. I liked it. I loved it in fact. If I wasn't already terrified at the thought of having three children, I would happily keep her in her stunning pregnant state. Unfortunately, my stunning pregnant finance would not likely survive further pregnancies. The doctors were already very worried, and we had checkups every few days. ''Come on Baby.'' ''Where are we going?'' I picked up Kayla and took Mac by the hand. We entered the study, where a professional photographer was set up. ‘’I thought you might like some family photos.’’ Mak smiled brilliantly up at me. ‘’I also thought we might have that party we talked about and make our announcement.’’ ‘’Sounds perfect.’’
MAKAYLA
We posed for lots of photos, smiling and laughing. Wade dipped and kissed me passionately; always extremely careful he didn't hurt me. There were lots of photos holding my new bump and Kayla even kissed it for one photo. ‘’Are you ready for this to go public Wade?’’ ‘’And have the whole world know your mine? Never been more ready.’’ Wade crushed me to him, careful as always of my bump. As we wrapped up, I could hear the gentle hum of voices rising from the living area. We left the study and made our way to the end of the hall. God Wade was dramatic, he had obviously planned our entrance from here. We could stand at the railing and make our announcement to our guests before they saw my bump. The only people that knew I was pregnant were my Dad and Kait. Wade had refused to tell any of his family.
Wade collected two champagne glasses from a tray and cleared his throat for attention. ‘’Thank you everyone for coming tonight. You are all here because I'm one lucky son of a bitch.'' There were laughs around the room. ''I was lucky enough to meet the love of my life, and despite her best efforts to fight me off, she agreed to be mine.'' Wade kissed me on the cheek and Jace wolf-whistled, there was more laughter. ''What some of you don’t know, or only know parts of, is that I nearly lost everything, before I even got to enjoy it. Makayla was attacked and very nearly died. I spent months by her bedside praying for her health, begging for one more moment with her. For my happiness back. And having experienced all that and being lucky enough to come back from it, I have learned to embrace all the happiness I can get. To appreciate and celebrate everything. So tonight, I would first like to celebrate that I have found the love of my life. That we have so many family and friends we hold dear. That I have been incredibly blessed with this beautiful princess here, who has crawled into my life and stolen my heart. And finally, she will have little siblings to join our family soon. The love of my life has not only blessed me with the gift of fatherhood to Kayla here. We will add not one, but two precious babies to our family before the year is out.'' The room erupted in applause as Wade lead me down the stairs showing my obvious baby bump. We stopped at the bottom of the stairs, and Wade dipped me low to kiss me. Flashes went off everywhere. Our friends and family embraced us with smiles and hugs.
WADE
I unzipped Mak's dress and let it fall to the floor. She looked so beautiful, rounded with my babies. I ran my hands over her breasts. ''Fuck you’re beautiful,'' Mak smiled and pulled me to bed. I took off my clothes and lay beside her pulling her close to me. Mak pulled my hand down to her pussy. ''Make love to me Wade.'' ''Baby you are too fragile; I'm scared ill break you.'' ''Then just be gentle.'' ''What about the babies?'' Mak laughed at me. ''You won’t hurt them. Please, Wade, I need you. It’s been so long.'' ''Babe, I don't know.'' ''Wade I'm fine, just be gentle.'' I rained kisses all over her face and neck, very unsure about making love to my fragile woman. Mak rolled over and ground her pussy against my cock. I rolled my cock around her entrance enjoying her wetness. ''Wade now. Make love to me.'' I slowly entered her tight body. It had been such a long time. I had almost forgotten how tight her pussy was, and how responsive Mak was in bed. She was already pulsing around me. ''Oh god Wade, I know everything is more sensitive because I'm pregnant, but those piercings.'' I pulled out slowly and sunk into her one piercing at a time. Mak shook and her entire body tightened. I continued my slow torturous method until Mak came apart, taking me with her. ''I missed you so much, Wade.'' ''Me too baby.'' I stayed inside her just like I used to and pulled her tight to me. ''Go to sleep my beautiful girl.'' ''Goodnight, Wade, I love you.'' I would never tire of hearing those words. I pulled Mak tight and went to sleep.
The following weeks were some of the most stressful in my life, second only to when Mak nearly died. Mak woke up every day begging to hike, swim, or go out. Naturally, I wanted to give her anything she wanted, but I was also more and more terrified she would get hurt. I relented and agreed that we could go for a gentle walk in one of her favourite spots. I tied Makayla’s shoelaces and leaned back. ‘’Your dad is going to look after Kayla. Are you sure you still feel well enough?’’ ‘’I’m not backing down Wade.’’ ‘’Fucking woman’’ I grumbled. I led Makayla out into the living area. We had three security guards coming with us.
The media swarmed us on every occasion they got. ‘’Overkill.’’ I heard Makayla mumble under her breath. I leaned in to nibble on her neck. ‘’Like it or lump it, sweetheart,’’ I whispered in her ear. Mak grumbled but complied. We drove out of the basement and immediately another car followed. Headlines were being plastered everywhere. People were speculating that Makayla cheated on her ex with me. I saw an article yesterday it read ‘I’m leaving Wade and taking our triplets with me.’ It was accompanied by a picture of Makayla looking out the window of our penthouse. ‘’Fucking media.’’ ‘’I don’t know why you let it stress you, Wade. Play them like you did when we announced our relationship. Stop stressing, you’re killing me.’’ ‘’Not funny Makayla, I never want to hear those words.’’ ‘’Stop being so serious! I’m just saying if we talk to them instead of running away all the time, they might not be so persistent.’’ ‘’You won’t speak to the Media Makayla, I’m not putting you through it.’’ ‘’Don’t tell me what to do.’’ Mak glared at me. The car stopped, and we climbed out to be joined by the bodyguards. ‘’There’s a few pap’s, sir. They followed.’’ ‘’Ignore them!’’ Makayla huffed and marched off up the walking track we had once wondered before we jumped in the water hole.
MAKAYLA
