The scent of chocolate filled the air, and Keres relaxed even more. Her body clenched, Achilles pressed her hips, and the first of the twins began to slip out.

There was talking and direction, but Keres just let her body do its thing. She felt the building of intense pressure and then the release. A wailing purr rattled through the room, and Persy was squeaking in excitement.

Luna was speaking to her, and she waited. Achilles pressed his hands across her back to keep her warm.

Persy asked, “What’s going on?”

Dante said, “Either the afterbirth or the next baby is getting into position.”

Keres smiled as it seemed that Persy had forgotten her own labour. Strong contractions started up again, and Luna said, “Another head on the way.”

The second went faster than the first then the wait for the placentas and the hard massage to start the uterus on its way to contraction.

Achilles pressed his hand to her abdomen, and soothing heat pulsed through it. “You did amazing. Two beautiful girls.”

“I just delivered them. Persy built them.”

Luna murmured, “You are in amazing condition. You were built for this.”

“Thanks, but I am enormous. I have a lot more space to grow them and shift them around.”

“It’s more than that. You and your mates are a team. It shows. Call me when you need to birth your own kids. I like easy work.”

Keres nodded. “I am going to have a quick shower and then come back to help Persy.”

Owen said softly, “Feel free to use the master. It’s huge.”

She nodded, and Achilles helped her to her feet, walking her slowly to the bathroom while Dante grabbed the go bag.

Ten minutes later, she was back, and Owen looked focused as he had Persy on his lap and rubbing her back under Nora’s watchful eye.

Dante held her, and Achilles went to speak with Owen. The grip was shifted, and Persy moaned in relief.

Achilles made a motion with his hands, and Owen nodded. Than was holding the little girls. He asked, “Can I show Mateo his little one?”

Persy grunted. “Yes, but come back soon.”

The support team around her laughed.

Dante sat in a comfortable chair and eased Keres onto his lap. He whispered in her ear, praising her over and over for how she had been brave and kind to help her sister.

Keres smiled and enjoyed the care until Persy started to shout. She sighed, and he helped her to her feet. “Show time.”

He murmured, “She is going to go for another hour.”

She blinked. “Really?”

“I am just going on the theory that siblings are similar.”

“Right, well, I had better go pat her hand.”

Keres moved carefully to her sister and took her hand.

“How do I know how I want to have the baby?”

“We work on getting you into positions now. When your body knows, it knows.”

She looked to Dante. “Can you get Armand in here? He looks sturdy.”
