Chapter 156
"I can talk to her about getting them out now, but I need to run a few tests and see if they are mature enough. They will be in the neonatal unit for two months until they get strong. Angie has to be willing to be cut open, Jordan. Is she awake?" I sigh.
"She was, but her sleep has been off since earlier, and she shifts constantly. I will go talk to her." I head back, and once outside the door, I hear her crying. Silas is trying to soothe her, but she keeps sobbing.
"My back hurts now." She whispers, "My ribs hurt, and I just want to sleep." I feel so bad for her as I step in and hurry to the bed.
"Doc is coming to talk options, my love," she looks at me with misery on her pale face. I gather her close, and she sobs in my chest.
"I'm sorry," she cries harder just as doc, dad, and Jack walk in. All three look alarmed at her state.
"We came to see Gavin, but it seems our sweetheart is in distress. What happened?" She sniffles.
"I hurt all the time, I can't breathe right, and my ribs feel broken," she sobs, let's not forget my men want each other instead of including me. I want sleep," she sobs. Dad takes her and walks out.
"I'm going to talk with Angie for a few. Be right back." I'm floored as Jack and doc look from the door to us. I feel guilty and embarrassed as both just look at us before Silas checks on Gavin.
Fuck, she embarrassed us so bad.
"Well, that went fucking fantastic." Silas sank into a chair.
"It will be fine, guys," Jack says, smiling, but it feels anything but fine.
"No, it won't., Silas stands up. I need to step out for a few. I'm sorry, but I need to go. I will come back in a few minutes," he storms off, looking distraught.
"Fuck, he probably thinks you and Angie are going to reject him now. He was in tears, "Jack mumbles as dad comes back carrying Angie. She looks cute, but her eyes are red and puffy.
"Where is Silas?" they both ask.
"He needed a few moments," Jack offers up. "He will be back." I look at Angie, and her eyes fill with tears.
"I'm sorry, guys," she wipes her cheeks. "I just had a moment of doubt, but I swear I love my mates. I do. I just feel left out and huge," she bursts into more tears, and my heart breaks hearing it. Dad hands her to me, and I cradle her close. Doc goes over our options, and Angie listens. She looks at me, and I kiss her lips.
"It is up to you, baby," I say, and she hugs me tight. Her little body shaking has me feeling awful.
"I'm going to run a test on the pups, and we can go from there. I will be back tomorrow afternoon, honey, so for now, rest up. Talk with your mates," he leaves. Dad kisses our heads and leaves shortly after. Silas comes back, and my gut clenches at his face. He looked awful and sad.
"What did doc say?" His voice is soft.
"Test tomorrow afternoon, and the decision to take them out is up to Angie. If they get c sectioned out, they have two months in the neonatal unit." He nods. We watch him sit like he is waiting for something. Angie looks at me and then back to him.
"Silas," she starts, but he looks up before his eyes go to the floor.
"It is okay," he sounds ready to cry, "just do it." I feel my eyes fill with tears, and Angie struggles out of my arms. She goes to him and crawls in his lap.
"Do what?" Angie sniffles.
"Reject me," he choked out, and Angie started crying in his neck. I can't believe he thinks we will reject him after everything we have been through.
"I'm not rejecting any of you. I love you both. I just feel hormonal, left out, and huge. Tyler spoke to me, and I'm fine. I needed a pep talk. "No rejection, Silas," she cries.
He hugs her tight.
