“WHAT?!” He screamed the words then, jumping out of the bed. “That’s impossible. I am a man, Dietrich, I cannot be pregnant.”
“I do not know how it has happened, but I see it, Shawn. I see the babies inside of you, the two life forces that were not there before.”
“I don’t see anything like that.”
“You will learn to see them as you get older, Geliebte. But I see them. One boy and one girl. You, my love, are giving us children that are from the both of us.”
“This can’t be.” He was backing away from me now. “Dietrich this is impossible.”
It took a while to get Shawn settled down enough to call in some help. The only people I could think to call were Riviana and Joaquin, as they could speak to Gabriel on our behalf. Gabriel was a wise man who had collected a lot of information over the centuries. He was even older than I am and he was here to be Riviana’s personal assistant. If anyone knew what was going on it was him.

Dietrich had just about given me a heart attack this morning when he screamed. But then it got even worse. He had said that I was pregnant, which was impossible. Wasn’t it?
There was no possible way that I was pregnant. That was only something that women could do and I was most definitely not a woman.
It wasn’t long after we had woken up that the others arrived. Riviana, Joaquin, and Gabriel came in just before noon. I was so glad Shane wasn’t with them. I definitely didn’t need to deal with his jokes right now.
I was sitting on the edge of the couch, curled in onto myself, trying to keep myself from hyperventilating as the others sat on the couch opposite me.
“So, Dietrich, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” Joaquin asked with curiosity in his voice. Riviana must have seen the look on my face because she spoke to me instead.
“Shawn, what’s wrong? Are you alright?”
“Well, Riviana, we seem to have woken up to a bit of a surprise on our hands.” Dietrich was still smiling happily. He didn’t seem to think that there was anything wrong with what was happening.
“And what is that?” She looked curious and happy as she looked at the happy look on Dietrich’s face.”
“We’re going to have a family.” His smile got even bigger. I had seen Joaquin smiling like that when he had found out that Riviana was pregnant. It was definitely the look of a man who was happy to be starting a family with his mate.
“I didn’t know you were already looking for a surrogate.” Riviana exclaimed happily.
“We weren’t.” My voice was flat, still filled with shock.
“I don’t understand. What is it then?”
“We will be having a family that is born from both Shawn and myself.” Dietrich proclaimed with pride.
“”Huh?” Joaquin and Riviana had matching looks of confusion, but Gabriel seemed to have a knowing look in his eyes.
“Which one of you?” Gabriel asked that and nothing else.
“Me.” My voice was still flat.
Don’t get me wrong, I was happy to be having a family, but did I have to be the one to carry them? I was a man dammit.
“What’s going on here?” Riviana turned to look at Gabriel as the man smiled at where Dietrich and I were sitting together.
“Shawn is the one who will be carrying our children.” Dietrich blurted it out. “I do not know how it is possible, but he is pregnant now, with twins.”
“HUH?!”
“WHAT?!” Riviana and Joaquin both looked like they had just had their brains exploded, at least they looked how I felt.
“I have only heard legends of this.” Gabriel spoke as if he was not even phase. “You are far from the first same sex couple from shifter history. And legends tells of a magical form of pregnancy between these same sex couples. Be it from a male and male or a female and female relationship. The point of the matter is that someone in the pair would then bear the responsibility of carrying a pregnancy to term for that couple so they may have a child that will carry on their bloodlines. You may rest assured that the legends state that it will only happen once, but it is almost always twins.”
“Yes, yes, Shawn is pregnant with twins. I see them, a boy and a girl.”
“That is how the legends have always explained it. But it has not happened in so long that I thought it was just a story. Perhaps it was waiting for the new Goddess Incarnate to return that power to the world.
Great, I was going to suffer through being a pregnant man because my Luna was the reincarnated Goddess, thanks a lot Riviana. I love her and all, she’s the best Luna ever and a great person, but I would have liked to have had a choice in this matter.
We discussed things for a bit more, wanting to work things out between us. I was not going to go through the pregnancy where anyone besides Dietrich could see me. So it was for that matter that we had decided that Dietrich and I would take an extended trip to Germany until I had the babies. We would call Griffin over to deliver them for us, about a week or so before I was due. Him, Riviana, Joaquin, and the two of us would be the only ones who knew what was happening.
After our guests left I could feel a little bit of anger coursing through me. It wasn’t really anger I guess. It was more like a desire to prove myself.
“Isn’t this wonderful my love. We will have children that are ours and ours alone.” Dietrich was happier than I would have expected.
“You’re just this happy because it’s not you that has to go through it.” I grumbled.
