“Screw you, Winnie the Pooh.” Joaquin glared at him with his flaming cheeks. I could do something to make this better for Joaquin now too.
“Oh hush now, Trevor. No fighting in front of my babies. They’re sleeping. Do not wake them up, do you hear me?” Trevor snapped to attention and looked at me nervously.
“Y..yes Riviana.” Now Trevor was blushing, and Riley was laughing at the both of them.
“See, this is what you two oafs get for being so immature for so long. You need to learn, Alphas or not, women are in charge of us all.”
“That’s right.” Katie agreed with her husband just before he leaned over and took Rika from her arms. Riley looked so natural with a baby in his arms that it was kind of sad. I wondered how long it would take for me and Joaquin to look that natural.
After that little scene I made my way around the room. I talked to everyone, and of course I had at least one of my babies with me at all times since that was the true objective for them all being here.
After two hours though, when the babies were getting hungry again, I wanted to call the party to a close. I appreciated them, but Joaquin and I needed to settle in with Reagan and Rika as a family. It was time for us to adjust to our new lives. Not to mention, I had to take the babies back upstairs.
Everyone said their goodbyes and left with no complaints. Some of them, those that were not exactly local, were actually staying in the house, but they went to a completely different part of the house and gave us our privacy on the fourth floor. The good thing about a house this big was that you could have other people here and never see or hear them. It was still peaceful, most of the time.

The last few days have been busy. No, that was an understatement. They were hectic and crazy, but filled with love and joy as well.
I was overjoyed that my Little Bunny had given birth to our babies. I was a daddy, I had to protect and love these tiny little lives for the rest of my life. I was ready to tackle it right away, but Riviana looked like she was exhausted. She had barely gotten any sleep over the last two days.
When we came home there was that party for her and the babies. I knew about it, but I didn’t plan it. Sometimes there is just nothing you can do about mothers; they’re going to be excited for babies no matter what. I am glad we were able to make them all leave quickly though.
For the rest of our first day at home Riviana and I spent most of it in our room and the nursery. She fed the babies and we put them to bed. It was slowly becoming apparent that they preferred mommy to daddy, since I couldn’t give them food.
This was especially so with Reagan, he didn’t like it when I was the one who tried to lay him down after his diaper change. He cried and screamed so loud that I thought I had hurt him. The second that my Little Bunny picked him up though he calmed down and went right to sleep.
I thought it was too soon for them to have favorites and preferences like this. I guess it’s because they were inside of her for so long, listening to her heart beating and the sound of her breathing, she would be what brought them peace.
We didn’t do much for the first night. My Little Bunny was so tired that she either watched a movie, read a book, or watched the babies in between their feedings. I could see how tired she was though and I thought she should nap.
“Please baby, take a nap; you need to sleep.”
“I’m fine, Joaquin.” She would grin at me and refuse to go to sleep.
When the night came and she had to wake up every two hours to feed them it only made her look more tired. By morning Riviana looked dead on her feet. After she gave the babies their midmorning meal and they were tucked away into their bassinets, I turned to her and glared.
“Go to sleep, now.” I ordered her.
“No, Joaquin, I have too much to do.” She was still refusing to go, even with the bags under her eyes and the dark circles. I could see how exhausted she was but she wasn’t sleeping.
“No, now Riviana. You need to sleep or you won’t even have the strength to hold Reagan and Rika, let alone feed them.” I scooped her into my arms and carried her back to our room. “I can take care of Reagan and Rika. They’re sleeping anyway, they won’t do much right now. They won’t wake up unless they want to be changed or fed.”
I laid her down in the bed and covered her with a thin blanket, tucking her in gently.
“Get some sleep, please.” Finally it looked like she might relent since she smiled at me.
“Alright, Joaquin. I will take a nap and then come feed them when it’s time. But I am setting a timer so that I wake up to feed them.”
“Fine, sure, whatever.” I kissed her forehead. “Now sleep.”
I watched as she laid back and fell right to sleep. She was exhausted and needed this nap. I’m glad I made her laydown. I crept quietly out of the room, grabbing the baby monitors on my way. They were video monitors so I could watch the babies from anywhere in the house right there on the screens. I could hook it to my phone too but then I could only have one video up at a time. This way I was able to look back and forth without needing to switch a screen.
I went to the kitchen for a bottle of water and ran into Trevor. He was having a late breakfast and smiled when he saw me.
“I can’t believe this change in you, man.” He shook his head a little.
“You didn’t think that I could be a good mate or dad?” I was confused by what he said.
“No, I knew it was in there, buried deep. But it was buried so deep that I didn’t think you would ever find the right girl. I’m happy for you, man.” He abandoned his sandwich and came to give me a one armed bro-hug. That’s what he called it anyway.
“Thanks? man.” I smiled. “I couldn’t be happier.”
I talked with Trevor for a minute but I needed to get back upstairs soon. I know the babies were sleeping but I wanted to get their clothes ready for when they woke up. I planned to have them changed and fully presentable for their mommy by the time she woke up.
