The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 126

Erica’s POV

It feels like I have been in the tiny room, in the tiny cabin for months. But in reality, I don’t know how long I have been here. I tried to keep track of the days every time I went out for a walk, but I eventually lost count. Laying on my back on the bed, I wait for someone to come in. Anyone.

My stomach is so large that I can no longer see my feet but I know that they are swollen. They feel tight and difficult to move. The little pups growing in my belly are very active and constantly kicking and moving. It is almost as if they are trying to break free from the prison they are confined in.

A soft knock on my door lets me know that Alice is on the other side. As I have gotten larger she has become more tolerant of me. She tries not to stress me out too much and talks to the babies in my belly.

“Come in,” I yell out as I try to roll over onto my side.

Alice comes in with the doctor at her side. They have stopped bringing in a rogue with them. I guess they figure that I am too big to run away anymore.

“It is time for your weekly check-up,” Alice says cheerfully as she steps farther into the room. She stops in her tracks when she sees that I am stuck on my back. Rushing to my side she helps me roll onto my side, by yanking me by the arm. “You know it is bad for the babies for you to lay on your back for too long,” she screeches at me.

“I got stuck,” I grunt as I try to push myself up to a sitting position.

“You should really be more careful,” Alice scolds me.

I try not to roll my eyes at her because I am still afraid of being punished. The doctor walks over to me and offers me a gentle smile. “You have grown rather large,” he says as he looks me up and down.

“You can say that again,” I g***n.

As I talk the babies hear my voice and begin to bounce around in my stomach. It feels as if one of them is up in my ribs and the other is kicking my bladder for fun. Neither feels comfortable.

“Can I use the restroom before we get started?” I beg. The last thing that I want is for someone to be poking around down there while I have to pee.

“Certainly,” the doctor says as he helps me to my feet. Slowly I plant one swollen foot in front of the other and make my way to the bathroom.

As I do my business, I know that both Alice and the doctor and waiting for me on the other side. I haven’t been able to go to the bathroom alone in months.

As I get up from the toilet fluid begins to rush down my legs. “Crap,” I scream loudly, thinking that I have peed myself.

Then a sharp pain radiates through my stomach and I instantly know that something is wrong.

I shuffle toward the door with my panties still wrapped around my ankles. “Um,” I yell through the door. “I think something is wrong.”

Another wave of pain shoots through my stomach and I double over trying to hold my massive stomach in my arms. The door flings open and nearly knocks me backward onto the floor. Stumbling back a few steps I manage to regain my balance.

“What is wrong,” Alice says as she barges into the bathroom.

I watch silently as Alice surveys the bathroom. Her eyes fall to the floor and she gasps when she sees the puddle of liquid on the ground. Doctor Wilson is standing in the doorway with a shocked look on his face.

“I thought we had at least another month,” he says as his eyebrows furrow in confusion.

“Well, apparently not,” Alice snaps back at the doctor.

My eyes dart between the two of them, trying to make sense of what they are saying. But I cannot think straight as wave after wave of pain spreads throughout my body.

I grit my teeth together and brace myself against the bathtub in the bathroom. “Will someone please explain to me what is going on?” I pant.

“You are in labor you fool,” Alice hisses at me.

My eyes fly up to meet the doctor’s and he tries to give me a supportive smile. “It will be okay,” he whispers as he moves into the small bathroom. He begins to fill the bathtub with warm water while I try to breathe through each contraction.

Each contraction feels more intense than the last and I am not sure how much longer I will be able to remain standing.

Alice pulls my dress over my head and gestures for me to get in the bath. “The water will help to ease some of the pain,” she says almost kindly.

With Doctor Wilson on one side and Alice on the other, they help me into the bath and I lower myself into the water. The water does ease the pain that I feel a little bit. Doctor Wilson situates himself at the end of the bathtub and he checks to see how far along I am.

“You are ready to push,” he says with a serious look on his face. “Next time you feel a contraction I want you to bear down and push.”

I nod my head and take several deep breaths to prepare myself for the next wave of pain. My stomach begins to tighten and I know that another contraction is on its way. Grinding my teeth together I push as hard as I can. The water around me begins tinged with b***d as I push. A concerned look crosses Doctor Wilson’s face before he tells me to push once again.

I push again and it feels like fire is burning at my core before something slips out. Doctor Wilson pulls my baby out of the water. “It is the girl,” he says as he hands the baby to Alice.

“Please,” I beg. “Let me see my baby.”

Alice ignores my pleads and lays the baby on the ground beside her. I glance over the tub and see my little girl with dark raven hair squirming and screaming on the cold bathroom floor.

“Deliver the boy,” Alice says in a threatening tone.
