Chapter 55: 55
&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Maddox's POV
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I stare, at Garret's dead body for a few more seconds and shrug.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I gave him a choice.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Putting on some shorts that were hidden under a tree I start limping my way to Nikki's house, the
asshole really fucked up my leg, he took a huge chunk out and you could see bone.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Also when I walked I felt a little 'click' meaning It's also most likely broken.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But even though I am in pain at the moment my main priority is my mate, she wasn't in a good state
when I left her and I need to check up on her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;when I reach the door its locked so I knock.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Nikki opens the door, a scared look in her eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Maddox get in here, she's insane" Nicole says, grabbing my arm and pulling me inside.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Nicole leads me to her room, as soon as I enter I see Jayda on the floor, her hands around her ears
and rocking back and forth.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her eyes, wide and looking around in paranoia.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Jayda...It's me Maddox. Come here" I say softly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Jayda jumps at the sound of my voice and her eyes snap to mine.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I need to end it! Get out! Get out!" She yells and grabs a base from and throws it at me.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I dodge it and it crashes behind me.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Take a deep breath my love, calm down." I whisper, trying to act as calm as possible when in reality I
didn't know how to handle the situation.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I look to my left to see Luke holding unto his arm. He had a long gash going down his abdomen.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What happened?" I ask.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She somehow got a hold of a knife and I took it away from her but not before she did this" He says
motioning to his very bloody injury.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I scowl "Jayda, this is enough. Stop it this isn't funny"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Make the voices stop" She whispers, pulling at her blonde hair.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Then suddenly she freezes and starts holding her big stomach.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Jayda clenches her eyes and groans in pain.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I am too focused on her face to notice something vital.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Nicole gasps "Her water just broke"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;My heart starts beating rapidly and I run a hand through my dark hair.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Jayda honey, we need to go to Dr. Jenny right now"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She stops clenching her eyes and shakes her head. A few minutes later it starts again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"The contractions are two minutes apart. We need to get her to the clinic right now." Nicole urges.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"How the fuck am I supposed to do that? She gets crazy when we get close. She could hurt herself" I
snap.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well the longer we wait the longer the babies are in danger" Nicole snaps back.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Taking a deep breath I say "Jayda, it's true. You need to end it. That's the only way the voices will stop"
I say, taking cautious steps towards her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She looks up at me and nods, looking to be in a haze.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I do need to end it" She mumbles.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'll help you. Come on I know how to help you end it. You trust me right?" I say.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As soon as I am close enough she start screaming "Get away from me! I'm the only one that can end
it!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Tired of everything I quickly grab her and put her over my shoulder which is way harder with her huge
baby bump but I made it work.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"No! Let me go! Please I need to make it stop" She screams in my ear.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I am tired of this, we are going to see Dr. Jenny and you are going to give birth then they will find out
what's making you act crazy" I yell back.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I am not acting crazy Just let me go!" She yells and starts kicking her legs around.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I wince when one of those kicks hits my injured leg but keep I don't stop.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As soon as I get to the infirmary I call out to Dr. Jenny.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She is quick to show us to a private room where she straps Jayda up to the bed and gives her a
sedative.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Dr. Jenny had a huge bump on her forehead and she kept looking at Jayda with fear.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Alpha, do you mind staying? To make sure the Luna doesn't escape and hurt everyone again" Says
Jenny.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I wasn't planning on leaving"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Perhaps before we start on the Luna we can check on your leg. It looks pretty bad" She suggest.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I shake my head "Jayda is in fucking labor, I'll heal"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'm sorry but if you let me just bandage it at least. It would make the healing process faster" she
insists.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I said no" I snap.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Very well, at this point the only option would be a caesarean section. She is in no state of mind to have
a natural birth. Also there are more than one baby and a natural birth is much more complicated when
its more than one"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Aren't we going to check what made her go crazy?" Nicole asks from beside me and I glare at her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"It would make things way easier if she gave birth first so we can do all the test we need without any
inconvenience" Jenny answers, putting something in Jayda's IV.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh okay" Nicole says.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I am going to ask all you, Luke and Nicole to step out of the room. Only Maddox can stay since it's a c-
section" Dr. Jenny orders pointing at the door.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Nikki looks like she wants to argue but complies.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Is it normal that she is unconscious?" I ask.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"It is, we gave her strong medication, stronger than we usually do because of her state but it's
completely alright"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;3 other nurses enter the room to assist the birth.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I wish I could say this was the most beautiful thing in the world but I really couldn't.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Dr. Jenny grabbed a scalpel and made a horizontal cut on Jayda's lower abdomen.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She then enters both hands through the cut.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I felt myself get nauseous and I roll my eyes at myself.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I just crushed someones neck with my mouth, I saw someone shoot themselves, I've tortured hundreds
of people and I am about to puke my guts out because of my kids birth.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I am pathetic.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Jenny puts a metal object that opens up Jayda's stomach then shoves her hands back insidd Jayda's
stomach.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Then, I see her start pulling from inside My mate's stomach.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;First I see a little head, then a neck then the arms and before I know it my baby is out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Congratulations, it's a healthy baby boy. Helena get him cleaned up for the Alpha." Jenny says then
adds "One down, two to go"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Loud crying is heard and my heart swells.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I don't think I've ever smiled this big, bigger than when I found out I would be a dad.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I knew they were more than one babies but I didn't know they were going to be triplets. I thought twins.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The process was repeated 2 more times.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They were girls.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Boys better watch out, I could already imagine myself killing any little prick who messed with my little
girls.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I walk towards Jayda who was still unconscious and give her a kiss on the forehead then whisper
"We're parents"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I walk towards the baby hospital bed where my three newborn babies slept.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They were beautiful, I felt this urge to protect them I had never felt before.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I knew I'd do anything for them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I wanted to hold them so bad, but they were so tiny.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I didn't wanna risk anything so I just settle with softly stroking their faces.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They all had Jayda's eyes and the girls were blonde but they boy had brown hair like me.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Nicole bursts through the door with Luke following behind.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Let me see them! Oh my god they are so cute!" She exclaims making them all start crying.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I shot her a glare.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Sorry" she says and quickly grabs one of the girls.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What's her name?" Luke asks.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She doesn't have one yet" I answer.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I hadn't named them. Jayda and I had decided we would name them on the day of birth and right now
she was unable to do that.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh" Luke says then starts holding my other baby girl.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I decide to not be a whimp, And hold my baby boy.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He didn't smile or anything, just slept in my arms.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Of course I wasn't expecting otherwise they were born like 30 minutes ago.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I stared at my son, I will be a great father.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You know" Nicole starts out of nowhere while cooing at my baby. "Luke and I are pregnant"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"That's great, congratulations" I say smiling at them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yeah, I need to come to the doctor weekly because its a risky pregnancy but it will be worth it"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She's awake" I hear Dr. Jenny say.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I quickly stand up and walk towards Jayda.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Look, our babies. They are here" I say softly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She just stares at me blankly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She won't be responsive for at least 48 hours or longer. I had to give her some more sedatives and will
have to keep doing it until the other drug is completely out of her system. She was injected with a drug
that makes her hallucinate and hear things. It makes her suicidal." Jenny informs me.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What about the babies?" I ask.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"They are perfectly healthy, you can take them home whenever you want. Due to current
circumstances I would understand if you'd want to leave them here for the nurses to take care of them
until the Luna is all better" she replies.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I shake my head "No I'll take them home"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Very well, I'll be out in my office if you need me" Dr. Jenny says then exits the room.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"If you want I can stay with you" Nicole offers but I shake my head.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You're pregnant, with your situation you need to be resting" I say immediately and Luke nods
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"It's true babe, you shouldn't be stressing out."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I wouldn't be stressing out, I feel he needs help" Nikki insists.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I can take care of my own children Nicole, thank you for the offer but I can do it."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;•
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;•
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;•
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I can't do it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;What was I thinking, I should've accepted Nikki's help.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It's already been 3 days and I haven't slept a wink.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Every time I try to take a nap one of the babies start crying, making the other two wake up and start
crying as well.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The bags under my eyes seemed to get bigger by the second and I looked like complete and utter shit.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Not that I cared how I looked but I really wanted sleep.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The past three days I've had a schedule. Feed each baby every two hours (Jenny had given me
formula), change their diapers and go visit Jayda.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;That's where I spent most of the day.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I would just take care of the babies in the her hospital room while she looked at me blankly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Everything else went back to normal in the pack except me.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I was currently a stay at home dad, so I let Jayda's dad in charge. Of course I made Luke tell me
everything he did because I do not trust him at all.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I was currently bopping each of my babies nose.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Every time I did their blue eyes widened and they would try to grab my finger.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After a while, they all fell asleep and I just stared at them, looking all cute in their carriers.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I was so tired, but I just couldn't sleep.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Suddenly a voice startles me.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I had them already? And they were 3?" My eyes snap to a confused looking Jayda and I quickly stand
up from the sofa I was sitting at and walk towards her hospital bed.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You're awake" I breath out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Woah, You look like shit" Jayda blurts out and I roll my eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well, not sleeping does that to you"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Um how long was I out?" She asks.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You weren't really out you were just too drugged to function, But 3 days"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You can explain everything to me later, can I hold my babies please?" She asks timidly and I nod
quickly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I put the three carriers in front of her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What should we name them?" I ask.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"They're beautiful" She says instead, her eyes watering. "They are so beautiful"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"They are" I mumble.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I can't believe I missed their birth" She starts crying.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You didn't really miss it, you were definitely there" I point out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I know but I don't remember any of it" she cries harder.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"It wasn't something pleasant, I almost vomited all over the floor. You had a c-section." I inform her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh, that's why I feel sore" she sniffles.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yup, so about the names" I say again.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh yeah, what do you think we should name them?" Jayda asks, looking at the babies with a smile,
her tears long forgotten.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I like Ava for one of the girls" I say.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Can one of them be named Ella? You know in memory of Ellie" Jayda asks with a hopeful look and I
nod.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yeah, It's nice"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"So Ella and Ava, what about our baby boy? She asks.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I've always liked the name Benjamin" I suggest.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I like it"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
