Chapter Fourteen

Michael worked with Elissa, whose laboring lasted for seven long hours. The delivery was rough since the baby was breached, and an even bigger surprise, was the fact baby number one was a twin.

“Two cubs!” the Neta shouted his joy.

“No wonder she’d craved all that food,” Jessica whispered.

“Yeah, just in the last few days I saw her she ate like double the amount of protein I did when I was pregnant with Paulie,” Pamela offered.

“And yet, no scan revealed that she was carrying multiples,” Brayden added, shaking his big Bearish head.

“They are so beautiful.” Tears of joy rolled down the Neta’s face as he held both little girls in his arms. Elissa drifted off, her body healing itself of the wear and tear of natural birth.

“They are,” Kylie agreed, before Hunter bent down, dropping a kiss on his sleeping wife’s brow.
