I Messed Up Again

Brent’s POV

I looked down at the bundle of joy in my arms. I can’t believe I’m a father, my babies are absolutely perfect. Maddie and Jarren, daddy will do anything for the two of you. I kissed Maddie’s forehead and looked over at Colten cooing at Jarren. Rose is resting right now, I looked at her sleeping face and smiled. This unbelievable woman carried these two humans and went through so much stress.

“Let me hold her next.” I hear Joel say. I hesitate but decide to pass her over. The hardest part of Rose having multiple mates will be sharing the kids. I know eventually she’ll have more but there’s only two right now and five of us. Well, four of us at the moment, Max ran off to who knows where.

“This is amazing!” Colten smiled at Jarren.

Rose’s parents and Garrett walked back into the room. “How are the kiddos?” Her mother asked.

“They’re perfect,” Damien answered, “I’m still in awe that we created these tiny humans.” He laughed.

Her dad smiled at us for the first time today. I don’t know what his deal is with trying to push Rose and Garrett together but he’s hated on the five of us since she’s been kidnapped the second time. I guess I can’t blame him, I probably would, too.

“I’m sorry guys.” He said quietly. “Garrett and I were talking and I realized that I’ve been too harsh with you guys as mates.”

Rose’s mother nudged him and he continued, “I will do my best to accept you, again. It will just take me a little bit of time to get used to the idea of her being with multiple men. Now that you’re parents, I hope you understand.”

Joel nodded and said, “I appreciate the apology. We all love Rose fiercely and I will be damned if I let something happen to her again. We will work harder to not only ensure the safety of her and our children but also ensure her happiness.”

Rose’s mother walked up and gave each of us a strong hug. “Take care of my baby for me. Also, you better bring my grandchildren around often. By the way, have you finished the house?” She asked.

“How did you know about it?” I asked. She waved her hand, “I’m more observant that I look. You boys were careful not to speak about it in front of Rose but you slipped up a few times while I was around. I’m sneaky, like a ninja.” We all laughed at that comment.

“The house is now ready, I had people working on it while we’ve been busy. Thankfully it ran ahead of schedule. We can technically go there when we leave the hospital.” Joel grinned.

I walked up to the side of Rose’s bed and moved her hair out of her face. I looked down at her rosy cheeks, red lips and I pressed a gentle kiss to them. She stirred in her sleep and I almost felt bad for disturbing her. Almost.

The pack doctor then walked in the room. “When can she and the babies go home?” I asked her.

“She should be good to go today, just make sure she gets plenty of rest, especially since you have newborns who will be crying all the time.” She chucked and I swallowed, I’m going to miss my sleep.

Asmodeus’s POV

“Assy! Let me out please! I pinkie promise I’ll be a good boy!” Lucifer sang from his cage.

I continued ignoring him, drinking my bottle of blood.

“Asmodeus, let me the fuck out!” Lucifer roared. I sighed and continued to ignore him. He’s been going on and on the past couple of days trying to get me to let him out.

“How long are you going to keep him trapped?” Levi asked me. I shrugged. I’m not really sure. I know I will need to let him out eventually, but I can’t guarantee that he won’t go after Rose. I’ll have to figure out something to entice him that’ll get him to leave Rose alone.

Rose’s POV

I woke up, startled, shit, my babies were crying. “Hand them over,” I told the men. Colten and Brent came forward, their faces told me they had no idea what to do.

“They won’t stop,” Brent whined. I chuckled and pulled my shirt up to let the babies drink some milk.

I felt a blanket get thrown over my head and chest.

“What was that for?” I asked.

“Ahem, Garrett is still here,” Joel said. Oh shit, I wasn’t thinking.

“Sorry,” I said sheepishly.

“No worries, sweetheart,” I heard Garrett say. I heard one my men growl at his comment.

“We can go home today,” I heard Joel say.

Thank the gods, I’m tired of being in the bed. “What are we going to do with Maddie and Jarren? I haven’t even picked up a crib for them.” I said worriedly.

“Don’t worry baby, all of that is taken care of.”Brent said. I felt one of them rub the top of my head.

After a few more hours we were on the road to my parent’s house. At least that’s what I thought, “where are we going?” I asked Joel. He was the one driving me and the babies.

“Gotta make a detour, don’t worry, baby.” He said.

After about another 30 minutes we arrived to what looked like a mansion.

“Whose house is this?” I asked confused.

“Let’s go inside first,” he said. We exited the car and unloaded the babies in their carriers. I carried Maddie and Joel carried Jarren while we walked up to the front door. He pulled out a key and unlocked the door. I walked in and was in awe at the initial beauty of the home.

“This is amazing!” I exclaimed.

“I’m glad you like it,” he kissed my hair and continued, “because as of today this is our new home.”

“WHAT?!” I practically yelled, making Maddie cry. “Oh I’m sorry sweet girl. I unbuckled her and began to rock her to soothe her.

“Yes, baby. We’re all going to live here together.” He said. I felt the tears fall as I was in shock.

“When did you guys do all this?” I asked.

“We’ve been working on this for months, almost immediately after we all found out we were your mates.” He said. I walked up to him and pressed my lips to his.

“Where are the others?” I asked.

“They’ll be here soon.” He said.

I spent the next 30 minutes exploring. There was an indoor pool and hot tub, a large kitchen complete with huge dining room, two bedrooms, one for Maddie and one for Jarren, and the most impressive room was the master bedroom. There was a bed large enough to fit all of us, huge picture windows, a HUGE walk-in closet, a master bathroom with a giant walk in shower big enough to hold all of us at once and a giant tub that would easily fit at least three of us. I noticed there were also individual rooms for the men, probably so they could have their own space when needed. While I was looking around everyone showed up except for Max and Garrett.

“Where’s Max?” I asked.

Colten shrugged, “he needed some space, apparently he was quite traumatized by the whole experience but on top of that, we have something to tell you.” He said nervously.

“What happened?” I asked.

“He lost his memories.” He practically whispered.

“Oh my god what? Is that why he was acting weird? I felt his body respond to me but he seemed unsure about being around me. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” I asked exasperated.

“You just gave birth, we wanted to wait a bit to tell you.” Damien said.

Colten then cleared his throat and looked at me. Oh shit.

I gestured for the guys to sit down. I paced the living room floor while holding Maddie and looked at them. Damien and Brent looked worried, Colten had a knowing look on his face, and Joel was busy catering to Jarren.

“Yesterday wasn’t the first time that Garrett and I kissed,” I sighed, “when you were gone we kissed a couple of times.”

Brent stood up angrily and stormed from the room. Damien covered his eyes with his arm and Joel looked shocked.

“Why?” Damien whispered hoarsely.

“I don’t know. I guess residual feelings? I have no idea how I feel about him.” I said sadly.

“I should’ve know that bastard was a sneaky snake!” Joel exclaimed, disturbing Jarren. He stopped his yelling and worked on soothing Jarren again.

“Do you want him?” Damien asked. I shrugged, not sure how to answer the question. “I know I have some feelings for him, I just don’t know what to do about them.” I said.

He just nodded and closed his eyes.

Brent stormed back into the room. “Can you stop going around kissing people? I mean seriously I had a fucking siren come onto me and I was able to walk away without doing anything. Maybe I should’ve fucked her so you could know how this feels!” He then walked out the front door. I heard the tires of his car squeal out of the driveway.

I felt the tears come again. Once again I lost Brent and Max. How do I get them back now? The worst part is they walked away willingly.

“Give them some space,” Damien insisted.

“I’m not happy either, Rose. But I’m staying because we have these kids to watch. I think it’s best that I sleep in my own bed tonight.” Joel said and walked away with Jarren.

Damien and Colten were the only ones left with me. I royally fucked up.
