CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Four months later
– MACSEN –
Thorsten is pacing back and forth across the small waiting room.I’m leaning against the wall and can’t help but wonder what thoughts are running through his head.Shit.In two months, it’s going to be me pacing back and forth.Could I keep my cool knowing Lu is in the delivery room bringing our children into the world?Maybe it’ll be a C-section.
Children.Twins.
Livi is popping out one kid while Lu is carrying twins.Yeah, total surprise for both of us.Twin boys.We’re still discussing names and thank fuck we still have a few weeks to go since she’s seven months pregnant.
“Hey,” Lu murmurs as she steps closer to me.
I’m about to kiss her when Thorsten suddenly worms himself between us.“How is she?Everything okay?”
“Won’t be long now.She’s fully dilated.You can go in if you...”
Thorsten abruptly cuts her off.“No, I’m fine waiting out here.You go back in, she wants you there.Come and get me once Livi calls for me, okay?”
Lu reaches out and squeezes his arm.“Will do.”
Thorsten nods and goes back to pacing the room.
“Everything okay?”I ask my old lady.
She sighs.“Can we get some milkshakes and burgers before we go home later?”
“Hungry?”The corner of my mouth twitches.
It’s only been two hours since I went out to get her a chocolate milkshake, fries, and a burger.These past few weeks she’s been having some serious cravings.Yesterday she devoured pineapples.The day before that it was anything with cheese.She seems to switch every day.
“You would be too if you were in that room watching your sister huff and puff.Not to mention, Lynn is on a roll, explaining very vividly how every damn member of Broken Deeds second generation came into the world.Seriously, how can that woman have witnessed all those births?Sometimes I think she’s unhuman.”
I chuckle and pull her closer.“I’m sure she is.How’s your stepmom holding up?”
Lu wrinkles her nose.“Please don’t call her that.”
“How’s Ludovica doing?”I grin, using the woman’s first name.
Lu huffs.“I think she’s already traumatized.I don’t even want to think of her giving birth to...nope, not going there.Shit.I don’t even know why Livi insisted on her being in the room.”
I cup Lu’s face and brush my thumb along her jaw.“Livi wants to have all the women she considers family in the room while she gives birth.A fierce female team surrounding and supporting her.Besides, it’s a good solution.Thorsten pulled a gun on the midwife when Livi went into labor.He can’t handle it, well when she’s in pain.”
The corner of her mouth twitches.“I was there.He would have pulled the trigger if Livi didn’t stop him.”
I pat her ass.“Right.Go back inside.Hopefully it won’t take long and everything will be right in the world again.”
“See you soon,” she murmurs against my lips.
My woman is fucking gorgeous, carrying our twin sons in her belly.I release a happy sigh, loving the fact that she is mine in every way.Not just my old lady, but also my wife.Back in Ryckerdan when we spent a few weeks’ vacation time, I found out Lynn was ordained.Needless to say, we returned to the clubhouse as a married couple.
No damn way was I going to risk her father changing plans and organizing another husband for her.There’s only one, and that’s me.A smile slides across my face.I’m so damn proud of my woman and the way she handles everything.Still does, since life is never easy.
Thorsten jabs his fingers through his hair and I step in front of him to block his pacing.
