Regan POV

OB 94% +13

The pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. As I lay there, wave after wave of pain after pain coursing through my body, I clutched desperately at my mate's hands, unable to do anything more but bear down as the urge to push became even stronger and more intense. I should have told them when I was feeling contractions earlier, but I had been determined to finish the wedding ceremony first, not wanting to postpone it. I was a few days earlier than the due date, but the doctors had already assured me that would have no effect on the development of my daughter. All I wanted was for my daughter to be okay and part of me felt bad that I hadn't thought to seek out medical help in my own selfish desire to have the perfect ceremony and not put anybody else out.

"Push Regan" the doctor encouraged as I nodded, biting my lip.

As soon as we had arrived at the hospital I had been rushed directly to a private room and declared that I was about to give birth at any moment, already fully dilated. My mates had been slightly irritated with me, but I knew they would forgive me the moment they were holding their little princess, our baby girl in their

arms.

Xander and Xavier held my hands, squeezing them, wiping the sweat off my brow, and looking as though they wished they could change places with me so that they could spare me the pain. I whimpered, pushing down with all my strength. I wanted to see my daughter, I wanted to hold her in my arms. I had held Fiona, Xander's little one, and helped to change her diapers, feed her, clothe her, and yet as I did so, I felt nothing butt t numb. I wanted so badly to to form an emotional connection with her and yet, even as I did

what was expected of a mother, the connection or maternal instinct simply wasn't there. I worried I would feel the same way with my own child. Was it simply some sort of flaw or fault of mine? Was I lacking all maternal instincts due to Heather's mistreatment of me as I grew up? I couldn't put my finger on it. No matter how much my mates tried to reassure me that I would make a wonderful mother, I could not quite believe the words that they uttered. If I was a good mother, shouldn't I be able to do what was necessary without feeling so empty? Was I broken?

"Push" the doctor breathed, continuing to urge me, bringing my attention back to the task at hand.

I gritted my teeth, feeling irritable. I pushed, hard, panting and breathing heavily. Sweat trickled down my face. It was so hot in the room. It felt like I was in an inferno. I could feel my body trembling with all the energy I had already exerted. How much longer was I expected to Labor? How much longer was I expected to last? This was much harder than I had imagined. I felt a tear trickle down my cheek. I felt Xavier's hand gently wipe the tear away as he stared down at me, his eyes filled with love and awe. "You're doing amazing Regan" he whispered, doing his best to comfort me in my time of need.

Without them, I doubted I would have made it this far. I was filled with admiration for the women who did this alone, with no choice but to give birth by themselves.

Xander nodded silently, his expression filled with tenderness as he agreed with Xavier. I blinked at them, seeing nothing but love for me in their eyes and expectant looks on their faces. Both of them were just as excited at the prospect of seeing their daughter. I wasn't the only one who wanted to hold her in my arms, I thought dazedly. Xavier and Xander did too. I screamed out with frustration and pushed so hard that I thought I might pass out, becoming lightheaded and dizzy. "She's crowning" the doctor cried out in excitement as I collapsed against the pillows plumped up behind me on the bed. "Come on Regan, not much longer to o go" Xander murmured, his eyes fixating on mine.

I nodded. I pushed again, and this time I felt it. I felt my daughter being birthed, felt the strange sensation of pushing her out of my womb, and felt a sense of accomplishment that I had managed to do what I had thought was impossible. I had done it. My daughter was finally here.

"She's here" the doctor cried out joyfully as tears came to my eyes. 09:06 Mon, 17 Feb

Finally, she was born. I slumped against the pillow, exhausted. I watched blankly as the doctor handed the baby to the nurse who quickly began to check her over and make sure that her vitals were normal. I felt impatient as the nurse gently wrapped my daughter in a pink blanket and then walked over to me. I held my arms out, both of them shaking slightly as the nurse placed my child in my arms. My breath caught. Big doe-like eyes stared up at me, unblinking. A soft fuzz of light hair covered her head and her little fingers waved towards me in the air. She was pale, her complexion like porcelain. She was beautiful. Stunning. A true beauty to behold.

I burst into tears, holding her close to my chest. I sobbed, my daughter, waving her arms around her with a look of indignation on her face. I kissed her softly on the forehead as the boys gathered closer, both of them looking awed by their little princess.

"She's so small" Xavier murmured looking slightly frightened.

"No smaller than Fiona when she was born," Xander said quietly, his eyes scanning over her.

I smiled up at both of my mates. They were busy eyeing their daughter with fascination. I could tell how

badly the two of them wanted to hold her, even though they kept their silence on the matter.

"She's just as beautiful as her mother," Xavier said, kissing me on the cheek. "Thank you Regan for giving me such a gift," he said, his voice breaking slightly.

"Thank you" Xander's voice is solemn as he thanks me as well

Both of them are acting as though I have given them a priceless treasure. No doubt to them, it feels that way. I feel teary and try hard to blink them away.

and I hand the baby to Xavier who looks alarmed, as though he might drop her or accidentally break her, despite the fact he's been helping with Fiona, Xander's baby. I try to keep my amusement to myself as he lightly bounces our daughter up down, his eyes growing wide as our daughter begins to make gurgling sounds.

"She's not made of China" I snorted at him as Xander grinned.

"Trust me, she'll be treated as if she is" Xavier cooed at the baby, already looking like our daughter had him wrapped around her little finger.

He was lost to her already. Our daughter had already made one conquest. I doubted it would take her long to make another one out of Xander.

I laughed. Xander looked at the girl's face, before shifting his eyes to me. "What should we call her?" he asked as Xavier quietly passed their daughter to him.

I considered it. Both boys glanced at each other. I mulled it over in my mind. I wanted our daughter to have something unique, something different but not so different it would make her an endless target for bullies. I wanted something memorable that meant something to me. I felt a pang in my chest as the perfect name came to me.

"How about Celeste after my mother?" I asked quietly, looking back down at my baby and feeling nostalgic.

Silence. Both the twins look at each other and silently communicate. I hold my arms back out and take my daughter back in my arms. Xavier clears his throat. "I think Celeste is a perfect name," he said agreeably. Xander nods as well. I feel a lump in my throat. My mother would have adored seeing her granddaughter. Life seemed so unfair sometimes. Celeste would never get to meet the grandmother she had been named after but I would tell her stories about her, keeping my mother's memories alive and her name continuing on. I glanced down at my baby girl, feeling overwhelmed with love. Maybe my fears about being a terrible mother were unfounded. Maybe I was overthinking everything in an attempt to be the perfect mother. Nobody was perfect, I thought to myself, and as much as I wanted to be, I was bound to make mistakes along the way as I raised Celeste with my husbands.

"Celeste and Fiona," I said quietly, Xander's facial expression tightening "sisters. I hope they become close, like the two of you are" I added, stroking her cheek lightly with one finger.

"I'm sure with time, they will be" Xander manages to choke out.

I nod, glancing up at my mates with a soft smile. Alpha Jackson comes rushing in. He's been patiently waiting for news. I pass him the baby and watch the huge smile spread across his face.

"Celeste," I tell him softly, knowing what he's about to ask.

He nods, holding her to his chest. He looks like any proud grandparent.

"You've made me the happiest grandfather alive Regan" he choked out.

"You've been the father I've never had Alpha Jackson. Thank you for being there for me, for us" I added, reaching out and taking hold of my mate's hands, clutching them tight as more tears came to my eyes "I couldn't have asked for a better family or a better pair of mates. I know that with all of you in my life, that I will never want for anything and that my life will be filled with nothing but love and joy."

The boys look overcome with emotion. "This is just the beginning of our lives together Regan" Xander whispers.

"I want a lot more pups with you, and to grow our family even larger. Soon we'll have a whole pack of pups of our own" Xavier teased as I swatted at him.

"Whatever our future brings, as long as you two are in it, I don't have an
