3 times a charm

Chirema

(Waima POV)

Laying on the bed with my mates was so nice. I kept feeling their stomachs, knowing my children were growing inside of them. I've calmed down considerably since finding out the news of the pregnancy. I'm still not happy about how it happened, but I am happy that it happened nonetheless "So what do we name the babies?" Carmen giggles while snuggling into Lilith

"I've always liked the name Storm" Tala says with her head on my chest and arm over my torso, snuggling as best as she can into my side

"I like that" Lilith nods "And Rain is cool as well"

"Well in my family, the first born has to be named after an ancestor" Carmen sighs "But I don't like any of them"

"Hit us with some names" I tell her "Maybe we can find one that doesn't sound as bad as you think"

"Okay. Um....Midnight was my great-great-grandmother, she wasn't a Queen though. Then there's Patunia who is my great-great-great-grandmother on my Mas side. I guess Aviva is cool. She was my 4th cousin or something like that"

"What does it mean?" I ask

"Spring"

"I like it" Lilith smiles "It's unique and uncommon"

"What about you Lilith? Thought of any names?" Tala asks

"If the baby is a girl, I've always liked the name Ashanti, and for a boy, Jax"

"I like those" Carmen says

"And you, Tala?" I ask my baby while rubbing her back

"Hunter, boy or girl"

"Thats perfect for a werewolf" Lilith chuckles "What about you, my love" She looks at me

"I like Atawhai, it means a person who is kind and caring. It's unisex, so if our son or daughter decide that they don't identify with a gender, they won't have to worry about their name"

"That's so awesome" Carmen gasps then her and Lilith start coming up with unisex names together

My phone started ringing and I groaned as Tala passed it to me "Hello" I greet

"Waima? Where are you?" Tui asks

"With my mates"

"Are they dead?"

"No you dork" I laugh "It's okay, we're good now"

"Are you sure? You're not just saying that while you're digging a hole in a backyard? I don't mind, I'll be your alibi" She says in all seriousness

"We're still alive!" Carmen calls out laughing

"Y'all owe me 50 bucks!" Tui shouts out away from the phone

"Damn!" I hear Jay-Jay groan "I thought it was a sure thing"

"Thanks for making me richer sis" She laughs "Now you gotta come home"

"Do I have too?" I groaned

"Yes. Mum is freaking out and not even Dad can calm her down"

"It's her fault" I point out

"I know, but just come home....please. Watching Mum ugly cry is not helping my appetite" She sighs "And she's making me feel sorry for her, even though I know she's in the wrong"
