Touch

Zacky bit down on his bottom lip as he watched everything that was going on around him. He sort of felt like he was in a daze, like this was all just a dream. The closer they got to the pups being here, the more nervous he became. He was beginning to realize the responsibility and straight up work he was going to be putting in to taking care of these pups. It wasn’t like he was regretting it all, because he surely wasn’t, it was just that he had thought that Leah would be more mentally prepared and as excited as he was. When Leah spoke, he grinned over at her, taking her hand in his and rubbing the back with his thumb. “I’m sure they’ll be here. I’ll text Matt to make sure they’re nearby,” he said as he pulled out his phone. He sent a quick text to Matt to tell him that Leah had gotten the epidural and it shouldn’t be too much longer. Even though the twins had gotten into a small fight, Zacky knew that Aubree wouldn’t want to miss this for the world.

Aubree giggle snorted, wiggling in her seat. You would think that she would be tired of sex by now with how much they’d been going at it the past few weeks, but she just couldn’t get enough of her mate. “Maybe you’ll have to refresh my memory a little later,” she said as she winked at him. It didn’t take long for her to finish her food, sitting back in her seat with a satisfied sigh passing her lips. She sipped on her drink as she looked out the window, only looking away when she heard Matt’s phone go off in his pocket. Aubree day up straight in her seat, staring between Matt’s pocket and his face with wide eyes. Did she miss the birth of her nieces and nephews? She’d never forgive herself if that was someone texting to tell them that Leah had the pups. “Who is it?” She asked, biting her lower lip.

Leah nodded when Zacky told her he would message Matt. Even if she and Aubree had gotten into a fight, she still wanted her sister here when the pups arrived. With the pain starting to diminish, Leah thought she might like to take a nap, but she was too nervous. She couldn't stop thinking about what would happen when the pups were here, when they took them home and she had to care for all three of them. Three. Why couldn't she have gotten off easy with just one? That she might have been able to handle. But three? She could only imagine how difficult it would be. "I hope they don't smell like food when they come back because I'm starving," Leah grumbled. "I wish I could have something to eat."

"Yeah, I'll definitely have to remind you later," Matt said, smirking at Aubree. If he wasn't too tired, of course. There was no telling how long they would be at the hospital waiting on the pups to arrive. And if not tonight, there was always the next day. As Matt finished his food, he leaned back in his seat, reaching into his pocket when he felt his phone vibrate. "It's Zacky," he answered Aubree, seeing the name on the screen. Clicking the message, he quickly read over it. "He said they just gave Leah the epidural, so it probably won't be long now. Which I guess means we should probably be getting back to the hospital."
