Rachel POV

I hold Cas's hand on my stomach to help ease the pain as his warmth reaches into my skin. I try to focus on his other hand rubbing soothing circles on my back. Dr. O'Connell comes back in and frowns at my unhappy mates.

"She almost fell from the pain." Theo snarls from behind me. I notice his body is tightly wound as he glares at the doctor.

Dr. O'Connell raises a questioning eyebrow at me. I nod, confirming Theo's words. "Does that happen often?" He asks me as he pulls the computer from the wall to take notes.

"Yes, usually during the first two days." I say trying to keep my attention on the doctor and not my mates that are full of worry and anger at the situation.

"My Queen, that is not ok. You've told your doctor? Have they discussed PCOS or endometriosis with you?" He asks me seriously.

"Yes, I've told them. We have discussed them but don't think that I have them." I say feeling more and more embarrassed.

"Have you ever had problems with your IUD?" He asks as his frown deepens.

"Yes, my body decided to spontaneously expel it a year after getting my first one. It turned sideways and was very painful. At first my doctor didn't believe that something was wrong, and I had to wait three days for another doctor to ultrasound and see it was sideways. My second one is fine, just painful during this time of the month." I say and I hear growls from all four men in the room at my words.

"You mean to tell me you had contractions for three days before a doctor took it out?" Dr. O'Connell asks me. I nod, "You basically were in labor for three days and no one did anything about it?" I nod again.

"You put another one of those in your body after that?" Theo snarls at me.

"Yes, It's the only nonhormonal birth control other than not having sex. I can't go back on hormonal birth control it affects me too strongly." I whisper.

"My Queen you do not have to be on birth control now that you found your mates." Dr. O'Connell suggests.

My mouth falls open at this suggestion. "So, I should just get pregnant right now? I don't think your Kings would like to hear I will be practicing abstinence until I'm ready to have their kids." Sure enough my three mates growl.

"I was letting you know for our kind it is not taboo to get pregnant quickly after finding your mate, I know you are human and that adds time to the equation for pups, but I just wanted you to hear it from someone other than your mates." He tells me plainly and ignoring my and mates' outburst.

"Let's do an ultrasound, blood test, and some other imaging to get a base line for you." He tells me as he pulls a machine close to the bed. I untie the gown in the front and open it to show my stomach as Cas helps me lean back. Dean moves to Cas's side and Theo stands at my feet. Each one places a hand on me and rubs soothingly.

I close my eyes as the cold gel gets put on my skin and I feel the tool pressing into my stomach. It hurts a little with my cramps, but I sit still. Cas leans down and puts his lips by my ear and whispers encouraging words to me.

"You're doing so good baby. It will be over soon, and we can go home and cuddle. I love you so much. You're so strong." He says in a loop. I focus on it as Dr. O'Connell takes lots of pictures. Dean and Theo stare at the screen intently and listen as the doctor points things out.
