Chapter Text

-Starts a month after timestamp number 4, Thomas is 1 year and 10 months, Claire is 4 years and 10 months, Odette is now 1 year and 7 months old, Baby Shep is 8 months old. Jensen is 12 weeks along with the twins and It’s late fall (Roughly middle of November)-

(Jensen)
“Alrighty, we have everyone shoed up, diaper duffel is packed and we’ve all ate,”He listed off his checklist while watching for his husband to finish feeding Shep. After finding out about their newest little additions a month ago, they’d decided on a fun way to tell the other kids instead of doing the original idea of just staying in. Plus Jensen was already starting to show and soon wouldn’t be able to hide it, hell he barely was able to now.
Speaking of his man, Jensen turned as he heard footsteps coming down the stairs and he smiled at his beautiful husband. He had no idea how Jared was almost nine months postpartum with his third child and still managed to look so damn good.
“There’s papa Shep, wanna go see Papa so I can pee? Yes you do,”the younger male cooed as he passed off their youngest, who Jensen happily took after putting down the list,”Hey bud, how’s my big boy?”he cooed since Shep still had his healthy baby chunk, he and Jared loved it and it made Shep even more adorable.
“I’ll help load up when I come back, don’t be trying to do buckles,”His husband informed Jensen, who nodded before blushing as his bump was lovingly stroked in passing.
Jared had definitely kept his word and was parroting every ounce of love and tenderness that he’d received back onto his now pregnant husband and Jensen reveled in it, not realizing how much he’d actually been wanting the proper experience that he’d given to Jared for himself.
“Okay hon, I’m gonna start ushering the Ackles Soccer team to the car,”he joked softly before looking down at the others, they were somewhat patiently waiting for their so called slow parents.
“Do not…,”
“ And I won’t strain to do buckles,”he called to the gentle but worried call of his husband. He knew he was only twelve weeks with these babies, but given his age and it being his first time with multiples Jensen understood everyone’s extra concerns. He found it endearing most days and probably would until someone told him he wasn’t allowed to work.
Once Jared finished, they got everyone loaded up and soon were off to the surprise.
(Jared)
“One, two, three, four,”He counted heads as he got babies situated into the wagon before giving his husband’s growing middle two soft caresses,”Five and six,”he murmured quietly, smiling at the blush this created. He was so excited for these babies, and had developed the same pregnancy obsession his husband had.
“Daddy, punkin!”Thomas squealed as he wiggled around some in his seat so he was able to see them all while also pointing them out.
“Yeah bubba, pumpkins. We’re gonna get some,”he was cut off by three happy squeals as Shep was dozing in the stroller, completely oblivious to the excitement all around him.
His husband slid the door closed on their new family vehicle, a sleek black third row Subaru -that had been a must once Shep had been born since they no longer all fit in Jensen’s truck, or Jared’s now traded off malibu- before turning to take the handlebars of the stroller,”Alrighty family, shall we?”he smiled as he looked at Jared.
“I say we shall, or else we’re gonna have little monsters,”

About an hour in, and Jared had the beginnings of a headache but he was happy as he watched his children running and playing with the other kids in a rounded off coral style indoor playground. So far, it has been a great afternoon.
“Here baby,”it was his husband, his wonderful, sexy, and caring husband of course sliding a cup of what Jared assumed was hot apple cider into his hand, -a small breeze hitting his nose confirmed it and he smiled,”Thank you honey,”
“You’re welcome, got the kids some too but gonna let it cool off first,”he eased himself down on the bench, an arm automatically sliding around Jared, which made the younger smile and lean against him.
“How are you feeling?”Jared inquired softly as his husband’s slightly slouched position highlighted his ever growing belly even more, the younger male moving a hand to gently caress said area.
“I’m good right now, I’ll admit I was nauseous when we first got here, probably because of the aroma of new smells but I’m good now. I also think they’re both asleep, having felt any wiggles.”he unknowingly pouted some which made Jared smile as he continued to gently rub.
“Awe, don’t worry I’m sure they’ll start wiggling once this hits them,”he gestured to the cider cup his husband also had.
Both men had all but grown out of any shells or trauma they’d had from their past, and we were happy with each other ten fold thousand percent, their old selves practically just shells at this point and both were still ever so grateful for their life they’d created, and this definitely showed in every aspect of it. They’d never forget what happened but they’d come to not focus on it or let it interrupt the good life they had now.
His husband chuckled softly once he’d taken a decent swig of the liquid,”Oh yeah,”he hummed,”It’s sweet, I don’t doubt it.”
Claire then ran up, little cheeks slightly redden and ruddy,”thirsty daddies,”she pointed at their cups.
“Here princess,”Jared turned and got one of the ones that had a lip and straw,”sip slow, papa said it might still be warm. Don’t wanna burn your little tongue,” She followed his instructions before going back to playing.
“Hmm,”he then looked back at his husband as the man made the small sound, immediately worried as he saw him holding his head.
“Jen, honey…”he put his hand back on the man’s baby bump and the other reached out to cup his cheek. He hoped Jensen wasn’t suddenly coming down with something as the weather had been wonky these past few weeks.
“I..i’m fine Jay,”Jared saw him swallow hard,”I am..”
“Don’t brush it off, we don’t do that.”he reminded gently but firmly as he got his fingers around Jensen’s chin, moving his head enough to look at him. He’d gone pale,”You gonna puke?”he murmured, Jensen shaking his head firmly for all of two point five seconds before a soft gag was heard in the back of his throat and he was scrambling off to the closest bathroom. Jared winced softly, and after a quick glance at the kids ran off after him.

(Jensen)
‘I’m officially throwing away all apple cider in the house, ugh, not how I wanted to spend my day’ He mentally grumbled as he finished wiping his mouth before moving to wash up.
“Hmm, can I at least have water?”he mumbled as he caressed a hand over his belly, his mouth dry now.
“You alright love?” Upon glancing up, he nodded to the reflection of his husband behind him, feeling his arms come around him a moment later as he finished washing his hands and face.
“Guess it was too sweet,”he commented with a pout as he turned in his man’s arms, feeling a soft kiss to his head.
“Apparently so.”Jared replied softly as he stroked Jensen’s back and the side of his belly that was pressed to his own,”We’ll get you some water, or maybe they have ginger ale.”
Jensen nodded softly, pulling back from the hug a moment later, a hand joining Jared’s on his middle,”Um where are the kids?”he asked when he finally noticed his husband was alone.
“In the coral, I made sure I counted all four before I ran after you. They’re fine,” this place also had security cameras and each kid had been signed in before allowed to play -no shoes allowed type thing- so that helped ease Jensen’s peace of mind.
“Hey, it’s okay,” He leaned into the hand that came up to cup his cheek, managing a smile as he covered it with his own.
“I know, just adjusting I guess. It’s been almost two years since I was pregnant…since i’ve not had hardly any control of my body..”he admitted softly looking through his lashes at his understanding husband.
“Awe honey,” he was lightly tugged into another hug that he happily accepted, nosing against Jared’s neck as he got as close as his little bump allowed,”I completely get it, but I’m here for it all and I’m gonna give you so much love and affection like you did for me that you’re gonna get sick of it.”
Jensen managed a giggle against his neck, a sound that wasn’t heard much,”No way, I would never.”he whispered softly as he squeezed him lovingly, humming as it was returned.
“Good,”he shifted to look down as he felt Jared’s hands on his belly,”Now my beautiful papa, let me get some belly lovings in and some cheeky bathroom selfies with you before we go back to our other babies.” he cheekily repeated words Jensen had said before during Shep’s pregnancy.
Jensen smiled widely, wiping his face once more before nodding,”Yes Daddy.”he kissed him softly,”I love you, so much.”he whispered.
“And I love you, infinity.”

(neither man, after the bathroom)

“Daddy, why we have to cut it?”Claire asked softly as she looked up to him. They’d decided to let the kids play for a bit before eating lunch at the patch, Jared subtly watching his husband to make sure another mad dash wasn’t in the future before they’d finally went to find pumpkins. They had finished the day off with a hayride, which almost had gotten Jensen in the bathroom again that time, but ginger ale and Jared rubbing his belly had stopped it thankfully and still the kids were none the wiser about the news.
Now they were home in the backyard with all the pumpkins opened on top and orange guts all around.
“We’re cutting them to make faces honey,”He smiled at her,”That’s why papa had you draw on them, he and I are gonna cut them out for you then we’ll take pictures to send to everyone.” they also planned on announcing the pregnancy this way since Jensen was showing fast and by Christmas, it would be completely noticeable.

“Oh,”she giggled as she threw more guts out onto the ground,”Yay.” Jared affectionately shook his head as he continued cutting the one they were using for Jensen’s.
“Alright here is a bucket for seeds,”Jensen announced as he came back outside, he was craving them and he smiled as he saw Claire, Thomas and Odette having a ball while dumping them out.
“Got a craving there honey?”Jared inquired softly with a smirk to his husband, who blushed and nudged him once he’d eased himself down beside him.
“Maybe, don’t judge me. I’ll never forget your pickles and ice cream,” he made a face.
“Hey! That was all Dot and I will forever hold her to that,” his little girl looked to her daddy, confused at hearing her name before going right to smashing guts between her little hands.
Jensen laughed softly as he leaned to kiss him gently,”I know love, hmm ours looks great. Hopefully it’s not rocket science to figure out,”he had a hand resting on his flannel covered belly.
Jared shook his head,”If it is, then we could always paint you.”he smirked knowing a few other ways that that could be fun.
Jensen’s ears reddened a bit,”Hmm yeah, but we might keep that idea between us,”he replied quietly while also leaning in close to his ear,”cause I’d wanna be naked if I’m getting painted, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want anyone to see me like that,”he nipped his lobe gently,”all spread and naked, holding my belly so you could create whatever you wanted,” the younger male swallowed hard, physically shifting his legs under him at the words coming out of his husband’s mouth and the images they created in his head. With a sound cross between a growl, groan and a sigh, he turned his head to connect their lips effectively silencing the heavily dirty talk for now,”but I will definitely keep those ideas in mind, I know we bought paints yesterday,”he smirked catching his husband’s bottom lip as he let out a quiet purr.
“Hmm can’t wait,” Jensen breathed, somehow managing not to jump his man’s bones right there. He couldn’t wait till later and the kids were in bed and he could tell just from a glance at his husband’s crotch, he wasn’t alone.

(Jensen, the next day)
“No, no. No way Alex,” The older male barely held back a sigh as he listened to his sister in law while trying to make lunch for the younger kids, who were t-minus ten away from tantrums. Jared was out Christmas shopping and since he’d felt nauseous this morning, his husband had decided that him staying home was the better option. Jensen had pouted about it, but upon seeing the time, he was glad he hadn’t gone. Plus with pouty toddlers, it would’ve just been a whole ordeal. So Jensen has sent Claire with him instead, and now been alone with the little ones.
“Come on Jen, this is y’all 5th and 6th babies and you’ve not taken any professional photos yet, Not even with the others either,”
that she at least knew of, there were some photos in both his and his husband’s phones for their eyes only and that was their business.
“I’m not even gonna charge you,”she continued on. She had been the first one to call this morning after they’d posted the announcement photos late last night. Hell he and Jared had had a bet that his mother would’ve been the first to call all excited, but no it had been Alex, and his husband had had to cough up a blow job and five bucks. A win win honestly, if Jared had looked at it the way Jensen was.
Odette then let out a whine and Jensen sighed,”Alright, alright, let me talk to Jared okay…yes I know I’m the one that’s pregnant this time Alex, but he’s still my husband and I want to make sure he’s comfortable,” because he himself really wasn’t, especially if he and Jared wanted a bit more intimacy in their photos because that’s just who they were.
“Oh alright, but call me back. Don’t leave me hanging, I know where you live,”she giggled making Jensen roll his eyes before hanging up. He then gave plates to Thomas and Odette before leaning his elbows against the counter, slightly swaying his hips as he texted his husband. He would love a rub right now since one of the babies was favoring being pressed against his sciatic nerve, but it appeared he’d have to wait a little longer since he received no immediate response.
“Papa, ucky…” Thomas whined before he pushed a piece of cut up grape back out of his mouth and onto his older father’s clean countertop before he could even think about catching it.
“Nnn nnu Tom, no we don’t spit buddy..”Jensen almost snapped at the almost two year old before he cut his tone.
‘He’s just a baby, just a baby being picky. Breathe.’ he reminded himself, chalking it up to pregnancy aches and being tired as he laid his phone back down to get a paper towel.
“But…ut..ucky..” ah fuck, trembling lips and watery eyes. He guessed he had less than five seconds to derail that train.
“I know, I know. Papa’s sorry, ssh. You’re okay Tom,”he soothed, wiping the grape up and into the trash before looking at his boy,”there all gone,”he soothed cupping his little cheek. Thomas sniveled at him, leaning forward some to see that the grape had in fact gone away before looking back down at his lunch, something Jensen himself hadn’t even eaten yet… Don’t tell his husband.
“Daddy?”Odette asked once they’d all ate and little hands were being cleaned.
“Daddy will be back soon princess,”Jensen soothed hoping that was true for more than one reason. He too was now wanting the man home just as much as his children because he was really starting to ache…
His daughter pouted at him as he finished with the wipes but seemed to accept his answer as she toddled away to her dollhouse, Thomas following after her once he’d hugged his papa’s leg.
Jensen then sighed a bit as he tossed the trash into the can while holding his right side,”Hmm now maybe papa can sit for a minute, rel….” Shep then cried loudly through the monitor, and Jensen didn’t wanna admit it out loud but he felt like crying with him as he grabbed a premade bottle thanks to his husband and quickly warmed it up.
“Papa’s coming bubba,”another cry,”I know, I understand..,”he wiped away the tear that tried to slide down his own cheek as he got the bottle from the microwave, proceeding to go feed his infant, thankful he could at least sit for that.
(Jared)
“Take those inside for daddy and put them in the closet okay princess?” the younger male instructed his oldest, who smiled and ran to do what she’d been asked. Jared might’ve gone a bit overboard and he felt bad for being so long but he’d make it up to his husband with an extra long rub and some intimacy loving. He just hoped he wouldn’t hear screaming when he entered, he’d seen Jensen’s earlier text but had had his hands full to answer. Another thing he planned on apologizing for.
“Daddy, ssh..” He looked at Claire confused. Ssh? Okay he would but he wondered why as he followed her into the house, carefully closing the door with his elbow as his hands were once again full. It wasn’t until he turned and his heart melted.
Jensen was passed out on the recliner with Odette and Thomas on either side using his bump as a pillow and Shep on his chest, a pacifier precariously hanging from sleep parted lips.
Oh his husband was a saint…he just hoped it hadn’t been that bad of an afternoon, until he saw the streak like trails of dried tears on both Shep’s face…and Jensen’s…normal for the baby, not for his poor expectant man. He definitely would be giving his husband extract loving tonight.

(neither)
Jared had quietly ushered Claire to the kitchen for a late snack before taking everything upstairs as quietly as possible before he came back down, moving to carefully slide his arms under his infant taking the extra time so he didn’t rouse his pregnant husband.
‘Don’t poke a sleeping bear’ he thought as he was able to see the beginnings of dark circles under Jensen’s eyes too, had his man not slept at all last night? Hmm that wouldn’t do, especially not this early on still in the pregnancy. Once he got Shep situated in his swing, he moved onto Thomas since the babe wasn’t clenched onto any part of his papa like Odette was.
“Hmm no noo..”Jensen started to stir, Jared froze mid lift letting his husband settle before he carefully transferred Tom to the playpen. Now came Dot, and while she was lighter and easier she was clenching Jensen’s shirt in a tiny fist and he knew well enough that unclenching her fist would result in screams….which is the last thing he wanted.
‘Shit..think Jared, think..’ he bit his bottom lip as he did just that but was coming up with nothing…
“Hmm…jay?” Jensen stirred again, this time starting to blink his eyes open,”Y..you’re home?” How had he not heard him come in? Guess he was more tired than he’d thought…
“Yeah I’m home honey, I’m so sorry…”Jared started leaning to give him a gentle peck on the lips, which Jensen hummed too. Sorry? Why was Jared sorry? What time even was it?
“Why you ‘orry?”his voice was sleep roughened and slipped a bit.
“It’s almost four baby…''Jared decided not to beat the bush… Oh..Jensen blinked some, bringing a hand up to swipe over his face. Shit he forgot he’d also cried while Jared was gone, and now his man had probably seen the evidence of that too…
“It’s okay..”He started but went quiet when he seen his husband shaking his head,”No but it will be, starting with you going and taking a soak while I start supper,” Jensen went to object, but the look on his man’s face told him it would be pointless. So instead he nodded, pursed his lips for a kiss which he got and then made his way upstairs once they’d gotten Odette unclenched together.
Jensen hoped Jared didn’t dwell on this all evening, and wasn’t about to let him either.
(after dinner, still neither)
Well Jared had tried to dwell, but it had lasted all of dinner and no longer when Jensen had come down an hour later. He let his husband pull out his chair, set his plate and get him a drink but when dinner was over and Jensen had gone to put the dish in the sink to rinse, and Jared had tried to jump to do it. Jensen had enough and shut the kiss up show down.
“Sit,”he’d gently demanded as he turned back to the sink, completing what he’d gotten up to do before looking back to Jared, who was pouting like a puppy.
“Baby, I am fine..”
“You cried to…,”
“Yes I cried today, but darling I’m thirty nine years old and carrying twins while watching three babies under two years old. No, don’t go there,” he interjected his man’s start of self blame.
“You went Christmas shopping for our babies and we decided I shouldn’t have gone, that’s fine. I’m glad cause of the way I felt and how fussy the babies were. There’s no reason to be apologizing to me,”
“But Jen, I came home to see you’d clearly been crying and to know it’s because you were hurting while I was gone hurts me…”Jared replied with wet eyes, which made Jensen sad because he understood. He’d felt the same way before when Jared had been pregnant.
“I get it, baby but I’m serious. Enough apologizing, you’re home now and that’s what matters. I’m not mad, today just was one of those days where I wanted to be clingy because of how I feel and no again, it’s not your fault because I didn’t say anything.”
His husband nodded, wiping his face before getting up and embracing him,”Just two more then,”he murmured gently, kissing him while holding his baby bump,”I’m sorry and next time, I’ll text.”he promised as he pressed their foreheads together.
Jensen hummed softly as he melted in his arms,”Hmm all I ask honey.”he replied, giving him another gentle kiss before pulling back slightly when the babies kicked between them.
“How about we put these kids down for an early night and I give you some daddy time?” Jared whispered into his ear since Jensen was still close enough, and shuddered from the words,”Hmm wanna add to my collection,”he also added making Jensen laugh, but Jared to frown,”Alex called,”he simply stated, the younger male shaking his head as he rubbed his pregnant husband’s belly.
“And you said?”
“That I wanted to talk to you, but I don’t feel comfortable since I like our private shoots better,” the older male slid a hand between them to cup his husband through his joggers, elighting a tiny sound of want from him.
“Hmm I agree,”he kissed his neck as Jensen was able to feel him hardening by the second,”Hmm kids bed now.”he groaned quietly. Jensen let go in agreement and within thirty minutes, both men were naked in their bed with Jensen happily on the receiving end of Jared’s final and best apology.

Chapter Text

-a few weeks later, Jensen is 14 weeks along now, and Christmas is in two weeks-

(Jensen)
The older male yawned as the alarm blared through the room, but it ended in a smile as he felt hands slide around him. Leave it to his jubilant puppy husband to already be awake.
“Mm good morning my beautiful husband,”the younger male murmured in his ear while gently caressing his growing belly. Jensen swore he changed every day.
“Morning early bird, keep doing that and I ain’t gonna wanna crawl outta this bed,”he purred as his husband’s hands felt good and he’d finally found a comfortable position with his changing frame.
His husband chuckled,”Well then your bath will get cold,” Bath? Awe how sweet of his man, now if he’d join him.
“Kids still in bed?”he whispered hoping so, he might be pregnant and achy but his morning wood didn’t seem to give a damn.
“Yes, now get up,” and Jensen moved faster than a pregnant man ever could to the bathroom.
(Jared)
After properly waking up his husband, Jared then made the kids a quick breakfast since they were being dropped off at daycare.
“Daddy, daddy,”Claire was very happy about the new babies and tried to help her papa whenever she could,”You seeing babies?”
Jared smiled at his girl,”we are honey, daddy will make sure to bring home pictures.” he knew she was excited and was very happy for it.
Claire smiled widely, then squealed as she saw her papa coming down the stairs,”Papa,” Jared held back a wince as he watched her almost barral into his expectant husband.
Thankfully though, his husband managed to keep his balance as he cupped the back of their girl’s head,”She’s so excited about the babies,”he commented softly to his husband. Oh how he loved his sweet man. He was positively glowing right now, and Jared couldn’t believe he still had months to go.
“I see, she’s just as excited as her daddy,” the wink his man sent him made him smirk but also blush as he just couldn’t get enough of the man, knowing it went both ways.
“Alrighty, let’s eat before we head out.”He announced derailng his sexual thoughts for now as Jensen had taken off today and the kids would be at daycare until 2.
(neither man, at the appointment)
Jensen glanced at his watch as his knee was bouncing away, he didn’t know why he was so nervous but he just couldn’t shake it..
“Honey,” the younger of the two covered the watch before taking the pregnant man’s hand,”look this nervous knee keeps switching between us,”he gently teased.
Jensen glanced at his man before gently laying his head on the male’s shoulder,”I’m sorry, I don’t know why I’m so nervous…”
“I get it, I know it’s been almost two years for you baby..maybe that’s part of the reason,” Jared gently rubbed his back after sliding it behind his man.
Jensen let out a soft hum as he took his husband’s hand, laying them on his belly together,”yeah, that’s part of it. I also just want everything to be okay…I mean I’ve never carried twins,”he murmured against his man’s shoulder. This made the younger of the two smile softly,”Oh baby, you’re doing amazing. Don’t doubt that please, I am so proud of you,”
Now it was Jensen’s turn to blush as he lifted his head to look into his man’s eyes,”Yeah?”he whispered softly, getting a nod in return.
“Absolutely. You’re beautiful and you amaze me,”his husband gently pecked his lips, making him smile once more.
“Right back at you sweetheart,”Jensen murmured against his lips softly,”Thank you,”he added softly.
“No need, but you’re welcome honey,”he smiled softly as he looked down at his husband’s belly,”Hopefully these little ones wake up for the appointment,”
The older male hummed as he shifted closer to his husband,”Hmm me too, though someone is nudging my pelvis right now so they’re definitely not asleep.”he chuckled softly.
“Awe,” Jared smiled before looking up as Jensen’s name was called,”Up we go darling, ready to see our babies?”
(still neither)
“Well, look at you,”Dr. Jones commented as she was getting the gel ready to put on Jensen, making the older male blush. He knew he’d already popped and was only fourteen weeks.
“I know, I ain’t even huge yet,”
“You won’t be huge ever darling,”Jared spoke up giving his man’s hand a squeeze,”You’re carrying two babies and glowing,”
The older pregnant male blushed deeply,”Just fluffing my ego honey,” but it made him smile, squeezing back lovingly.
Dr. Jones smiled at both of them before getting started,”Alright looks like we’d got baby A up here more toward your front and under your ribs while baby B is down and more back, which explains your being constantly nudged in the sciatica.”
The older man made a soft face as he looked at the screen,”I knew it,”he murmured softly,”But they’re both on track right, you don’t see anything that concerns you?”
“Well, you are measuring on track and everything looks good, however I do have some concerns,”
Both men looked at her, Jensen palling because that was the last thing he’d wanted to hear….

Chapter Text

(Jensen)
‘c-section. A goddamn c-section.. Fuck.’ The pregnant male couldn’t believe it and had been floored the minute the ‘suggestion’ had come out of his doctor's mouth. He just couldn’t believe after telling him everything looked great, that he should consider a c-section…
Now his eyes were glued out the window as his silent husband drove them home.. Why you might ask, oh because he was an asshole and automatically said no to major surgery without even a moment's hesitation. A part of him understood why his man was upset, and had a feeling he would fully get it later, just not right now as it seemed all his man was giving him was the silent treatment, and Jensen hated it even though he knew it was his fault…
(Jared)
‘No, no way. No c-section’ The younger male couldn’t believe it, the way his husband just said no without even really thinking about it or even consulting together. Sure, he understood it was Jensen's body and ultimately his choice but it upset Jared how quick he’d jumped the gun. Plus this was serious, this procedure could mean the life of his husband and their babies…did Jensen even care? Sure he’d relented to think about it before they’d left but he still knew how his man operated.
The younger male let out a sigh at his racing thoughts which were only just making him more upset, and shifted enough where he caught his man give him a sideways glance before looking back out the window. Jared knew they both were upset right now but he just didn’t know what to say, hell he hadn’t even touched Jensen since they’d left the office, let alone said anything and he hated it because they usually always had some form of contact. That’s how upset he was, and he knew Jensen was too. With another sigh, he pulled into the driveway and went to get out of the truck, every fiber of his being telling him to at least go open the door and help his man, but for the first time ever..Jared let his anger get the better of him and instead went straight inside after unlocking the door.
This was not good…

(Jensen)
“…I..I’ve really pissed him off..” the male mumbled to himself as he watched his man walk straight inside, forgoing the coming to open his door and help him inside that he’d started doing after their day at the pumpkin patch awhile ago.
Jensen sniffled, his emotions all over the damn place already and today only made him feel worse. He slowly eased himself down out of the truck making sure he had his balance before heading inside, not even seeing his husband anywhere in his line of sight. He’d really fucked up…
He looked down slowly putting his hands on his bump,”I’m so sorry..”he sniffled, almost breaking into a soft sob as he felt the tiniest of nudges against his palm because Jared wasn’t even standing here with him to feel it…
(neither man, flash forward to dinner time)
The silence between husbands was still going strong even now after Jensen had cooked supper and even sat to eat it with his family. The only words they’d spoken were to their children and not much else. They hadn’t spoken about the appointment, other than Claire seeing the printouts before she’d been ushered to come eat. Both men hated it but were standing in their own way thanks to their anger about the situation, and honestly neither one knew how much longer they could handle it. It felt deafening and crushing all at the same time.
(bedtime, still neither)
They tag teamed on bathing and dressing the children come bedtime, still not more than a sentence being spoken between -something little Claire had noticed and didn’t like- before finally retiring to their own room after everyone had been tucked in for bed, Jared going to do his nightly routine without even offering if his husband wanted to join him.
Jensen sniffled as he sat on the bed rubbing lotion onto his belly, all the while his back and ankles were aching…he couldn’t do this anymore… he hated it and eventually broke down, silently crying when his husband came in, clicked off the lights and laid away from him.
Jared immediately flipped the light back on, turning enough to look at his husband over his shoulder,”what's wrong?”even though he already knew. He had been minutes away from tears since the kids’ bathtime.
“Me, i’m what's wrong. You’re pissed and it’s all my fault,”
“I’m no..”but even he knew he was and with a sigh, he turned so he was facing his crying pregnant husband,”I’m not pissed, I’m upset.”
“You didn’t even open the door for me when we came home, you’re pissed Jay,” Jensen cried as he looked at him as he hadn’t even laid down yet unlike Jared who had.
Now Jared sniffed because okay find he admitted it,”Yeah, I am pissed, but Jen, come on you can’t expect me not to be. Not about this, this is serious,”
“You think I don’t know that?”Jensen sniffled, swiping a hand over his face that did nothing to stop the flow of tears,”because I do. God I do, and I’m fucking scared. Okay, I’m scared Jay,”he sniffled, making Jared’s heart ache, he was scared to..
“Babe, you think I’m not scared? Cause I am. I hate the fact that she suggested you possibly needing a c-section. I really do, I can't believe it..”
“Yeah,”his husband sniffled as he shifted some, grimacing in pain as his back twinged,”I do too, that’s why I said no..”
“But you said it so quickly, didn’t even think..”
“Because I know I can do this. Believe me I know why she suggested it. I know it’s because I’m almost forty and carrying twins, I know the risk goes up when you start multiples, I do but I still know I can do it,”he sniffled as his husband finally touched him by reaching a hand out to wipe away a tear.
“Yeah, that’s what she was saying when you said no..”Jared whispered as he caressed his man’s cheek, his anger finally dissipating and his heart hurting at the way Jensen had broken down crying.
“I know,” the older male sniffled as he leaned into the hand on his cheek, craving the touch after not having it all day.
“Remember, she didn’t say it was mandatory..she just wanted to caution us and create less stress on you,”Jared reminded softly as he moved to pull his man into his lap, really needing to have him close after today.
Jensen sniffled as he automatically curled into his husband, tucking his head down under the younger’s chin,”I know…I just immediately jumped to no because I don’t want to be cut open. I mean, I had two natural births with no complications at all. So to hear that, just, I dunno it hurt my pride.”he admitted in the quiet of their room.
Jared refrained from shaking his head because goodness his husband was to fucking sweet, and somehow still managed to amaze Jared everyday,”Oh baby, I understand…god I’m so sorry..”
“No, I’m sorry…I basically brushed you off. I shouldn’t have done that, we’re married and these are our babies..I shouldn’t be making big decisions like that alone….” Jared rubbed his man’s belly with the hand he had cradling it, making Jensen sniff with a smile.
“I’ll call doctor Jones tomorrow and let her know that we’ve talked about this, that the c-section will be emergency only..”the older male felt his husband tense some at his words.
“Okay, but if that needs to change as you progress on, then we might have to change that plan.”he wasn’t saying that would happen, but he wanted the possibly said.
“I know,”Jensen murmured as he kissed his bare chest,”but I know I can do it, you trust that right?”
“Of course I do,”Jared replied, almost surprised he’d ask after all they’d been through. He moved them enough to lift Jensen’s head and kiss him deeply,”I trust you with every fiber of my being love, never forget that.”he soothed, receiving a nod from his man before he continued,”and I also want you to remember how strong you are, that I never will think you’re weak or that you can’t do this..”
Jensen managed a smile as he wiped away any remaining tears from both his face and his husband’s,”Thank you honey..i love you, so so much.”he whispered softly looking into his man’s eyes.
“No thanks needed, and I love you too. Infinity and beyond,”he leaned down some to kiss him gently, all anger gone and replaced once more with only love for this man.
Jensen purred as he went to deepen the kiss, then whined as his back protested. Jared noticed and slowly moved them so his husband was sitting in front of him,”Could’ve told me you were hurtin’, I would’ve still helped you…”he murmured as he planted a soft kiss on Jensen’s neck, making the older man shiver and purr.
“I know, help me now?” the older male whispered as he let his head drop so his chin was to his chest, thus giving his husband full access to his whole back. Jared stroked his hands over his belly before bringing them back, starting at his lower back and then gently kneading his thumbs in along his man’s spine,”Always,”he whispered in his ear as he’d leaned in.
Jared rubbed his man out for a good hour, before his husband let out a soft moan. Oh ho really now, hmm Jared wondered how far the older male wanted that to go.
“Make love to me…” the pregnant male then whispered as he looked over his shoulder before Jared could even ask. Jared smirked, he hadn’t admitted it before since they didn’t fight much, but he liked this part. The make up intercourse part, it always felt more special to reiterate their love through slow loving movements together, and it sometimes remained Jared of their first time years ago.
“Absolutely honey,”He grabbed a pillow and the lube as he planned on taking his sweet time with his husband,”Hmm gonna have you lay down and propped up for me,”he informed softly as he helped do just that, his husband blushing and letting out a soft content sound.
“Hmm yes please honey, wanna take our time,” Jensen smiled since they hadn’t even done anything in a couple days. They've been pretty busy with work, and taking the kids to school.
Jared smirked lovingly, moving up to kiss him deeply while trailing his hands down the pregnant man’s beautiful changing body,”I intent to,”he informed softly, smirking as his hands got to Jensen’s boxers slowly hooking his thumbs in, before taking his sweet ass time taking them off,”now my turn,”he hummed, Jensen’s hands coming up moments later to remove the fabric covering his husband’s lower half.
Once both men were fully naked, -Jensen a blushing mess since his husband looked like a fucking model compared to his pregnant self - Jared bent and sealed their lips together, his hands running down and reexploring every inch of skin he could reach, while Jensen’s hands immediately went to his man’s hair, lightly tugging just how Jared liked while also using his tongue to open his man’s mouth and explore there. Both let out a moan as their hardened erections bumped and rubbed lightly, before Jared started doing it on purpose by bringing his hips in all the while still being mindful of his husband’s bump between them.
“Oh god Jay, baby…”Jensen started begging between soft little moans as he tugged a bit harder on Jared’s baby hair, eliciting a moan of pleasure out of him.
“Hmm tell me what you want baby,” the younger man somehow managed as he moved his mouth off his husband’s and down to his neck, planning on leaving soft marks there.
Jensen moaned softly, head already angling for Jared’s kisses that made him lightly scratch down his shoulder blades,”Take me,”he moaned softly hips arching some.
Jared let out a moan against the older male’s skin,”Hmm ask me nicely?”he teased softly but was already moving his hips and groin down some. Jensen let out a sound equivalent to a whine, tossing his head back onto the pillow as his hips bucked up.
“Fucking take me please baby, fuck. You’re my sexy husband that I love so much, make sweet love to me please,”he moaned happily, gasping seconds later as he felt Jared’s head poke his entrance.
“Awe I love you too my sweet baby, since you asked so nicely,”He grabbed lube and applied generously as he didn’t want to hurt his man, before slowly starting to push in, feeling Jensen squeeze his shoulders as he did,”Relax baby, relax,”he reminded softly as he could feel him tensed. Jensen took a deep breath, his bump pushing more into his husband’s middle in the process which made Jared moan as he was able to slide in more,”Hmm beautiful, love feeling the change of our babies against me. How they’ve made you so sexy and positively glowing,” Jensen blushed deeply as he managed to wrap his legs around his man, and bring him closer for a deep searing kiss right as the pull made Jared bottom out.
“Oh shit..”Jensen cried out in pleasure, it was mostly swallowed by Jared’s mouth on his.
“Oh shit is right, god I love you,” the younger murmured before waiting to move for a few moments. The soft sound of skin hitting skin then filled the room along with both men’s sounds of pleasure and professions of love. Both letting out all of today’s actions, now back in perfect sync as it should be.

“I love you,”Jared murmured against Jensen’s neck idly stroking his belly in the after bliss, Jared letting out a soft purr as he was now pleasantly exhausted. A soft nudge then hit Jared’s hand and the man gasped softly, pushing up onto his elbow to look at his husband,”Was that?”
Jensen nodded, gently pressing Jared’s hand in a tiny bit to feel better,”mhmm, that’s one of our babies..”
“Oh god, I’ve missed feeling this,”Jared cooed as he caressed with his thumb hoping for more movement.
Jensen purred softly as the baby didn’t disappoint,”I have too…,”he bit his lip,”I felt it earlier too, when we first got home..”
Jared looked at him with sad eyes,”Oh baby…I,”
“No I should’ve said something, but that was then. Let’s focus on this time,”He shook his head not wanting to backtrack. Jared nodded in agreement, giving him a gentle kiss,”God I love you,”he repeated softly,”In every way shape and form of the word,”
Jensen blushed deeply,“I love you more,”
“I love you infinity,”
“Always and forever,”Jensen angled his head for another soft sweet kiss before shifting to get comfortable, both men passing out minutes later with their hands glued to their shifting little one and smiles plastered on their faces.

Chapter Text

-Two weeks later, Jensen is 16 weeks along now, Thomas is 1 year and 10 months, Claire is 4 years and 10 months, Odette is now 1 year and 7 months old, and Baby Shep is 8 months old. It’s Christmas Eve-

(Jared)
The younger male yawned as he and his husband finished wrapping the presents for their children. He had confirmed he definitely went a bit overboard with all the gifts but this was Christmas and he admittedly tried to spoil all his babies during this time of year. What his lovely pregnant husband didn’t know was that he had a surprise planned for him too.
“Hmm, I don’t know bout you but this elf is tired,” Jared looked to his husband at the male’s words, a smile gracing his face as he caught him stretching, his shirt lifting just a hare which revealed a good strip of baby bump. His man was popping quickly and both were glad they’d done the pregnancy announcement already since there was no hiding it nowadays.
“Then I suppose it’s time we load up the tree and then retire to our bed. Santa wants to love on his elf and babies,”he smirked, unable to help himself despite how tired they both were.
His husband affectionately rolled his eyes, a hand fixing his long sleeved henley before just laying still over their babies,”Yeah? Hmm this elf might object to you tonight love,” that was a first and Jared became concerned, moving closer to cup his man’s cheek and belly.
“I’m okay, I’m just tired and I know we’re gonna be up at the crack of dawn but don’t worry, you’ll get your elf loving.”Jensen added with a soft smirk making Jared nod through a release of breath he’d sucked in in worry.
“I’m not worried about intimacy when your health comes first darling,”the younger male reminded softly as he felt a soft jab against his palm,”and this little one agrees with their daddy,” His husband smiled, leaning to give him a gentle kiss, which was happily accepted.
“Bed?”his husband murmured against his lips.
“Mhmm, bed.” Jared gently helped his man upstairs once all the presents were under the tree and the cookies and milk had been munched on by “Santa”.
(neither male- 6am)
“Wake up daddy! Santa came Papa! Santa!” it was Claire and Thomas of course crawling into their bed and bouncing on their non pregnant father, who grunted in surprise.
“Hmm we’re up we’re up,” Jensen yawned as he held his stomach that had decided to start churning, the sudden noise startling one of the twins which earned him a sharp jab to the side and had him grimacing into his pillow.
Clarie giggled softly as she plopped down on her daddy, tugging his blanket to see his face,”Up..”she whined poking his nose some.
The younger male laughed before quickly sitting up, snatching his daughter close and prepping her face in kisses as she let out loud giggles, squirming in his embrace.
Jensen slowly managed to push himself up once he’d breathed through the sudden discomfort, letting the blanket fall to his waist while adjusting his shirt as it had ridden up in sleep. He then looked at Tom who had plopped between his legs patiently waiting.
“Papa tay?”his son asked, crawling forward and gently patting his now covered bump, which made Jensen smile tiredly.
“Yeah bubba, papa’s okay. C’mere,”he murmured softly before pulling him carefully into his lap and giving him kisses as well,”Merry Christmas my loves,”he whispered softly as he snuggled him for a few moments before he switched kiddos with his husband, also getting a soft kiss in the process.
“Merry Christmas indeed, how about we get the day started with presents and then I’ll make a yummy breakfast?”Jared spoke up, making both kids squeal and nod before scampering off out of the room.
The younger male then turned to his husband, sliding a hand under Jensen’s shirt and idly rubbing as he also leaned to give him a proper good morning kiss,”I heard that grimace, you okay?”he murmured softly, making Jensen smile as his husband was the sweetest man ever,”Yes darling, little one got startled and jabbed me but I’m okay.”he soothed as he lightly eskimo kissed him.
“Aww poor baby, hopefully no more jabs today then. If so daddy will just have to love on them.”he whispered with a smile as he was idly caressing his man’s baby bump with his thumb, making Jensen smile more,”Hmm you know I won’t object at all.”he kissed his man again before hearing Claire whining at the top of the stairs since the baby gate was up.
“Think we better crawl outta this bed before we have crying children on Christmas,”Jensen murmured, getting a nod out of his husband before both men did just that.
(Christmas dinner, Jensen)
“Alex, I said no. Please stop asking,”Jensen declined his sister in law’s proposal for maternity photos for the fourth time in only an hour because quite frankly he was getting annoyed with her. He just wanted to enjoy the day with his family, and she was making him feel anything but jolly. He idly rubbed over his belly as one of the twins squirmed most likely in response to his building frustrations.
“Hey Alex, I think Odette is looking for her auntie to play dolls with,” Jensen almost sighed in relief as he heard his husband come up behind them saving him from any more conversation. He craned his neck, as said man slid his arms around him seconds later. His sister in law practically pouted but didn’t object as she nodded and walked out of the kitchen.
“Thank you,..”he sighed softly as he melted back into his husband once she’d left, managing a tiny smile as Jared’s hands automatically came up to cradle and caress his belly which made him feel almost immediately better.
“You’re welcome, I could see your frustration from the living room..”
“I just, I don’t know why she keeps pressing it…like I don’t see the big deal,”Jensen sighed softly as he lightly rested his head against Jared’s shoulder, closing his eyes for a moment to help calm himself more.
“I don’t either but today isn’t the day for this. It’s Christmas, I wanna enjoy it with my family and not be annoyed at them.”he added softly against his man’s shoulder.
“I know love, I know and it'll be okay.”Jared replied softly kissing his temple with a soft hum, making Jensen do the same and nod.
“I know, thank you honey,”he knew he could always count on Jared to help with anything and everything, just like he could count on Jensen himself to do the same. That was a key part in their relationship they both thrived on.
“Daddy, papa eat?”Claire came in holding her new Elsa doll she’d refused to put down since she’d opened it this morning. It was the newer movie, and sang all the songs from the film, Thanks a lot Uncle Jason.
Jared smiled at his oldest girl,”Yes hon, it’s time to eat. Wanna start telling people for papa and I?” she nodded with a big smile before running off to do so yelling,”Eat time!” as loud as she could.
“Let’s eat,”Jensen hummed, giving his husband’s cheek a kiss before moving to make his plate, helping Jared when it came to their children. Hopefully this day turned around….or the pregnant man feared he’d snap and he didn’t feel like doing that on Christmas.

(after supper opening presents, Jensen)
“I know you two don’t know the gender yet, but I saw these and knew I had to get them,” the younger male gave an affectionate smile to his mother in law as she was gushing over the tiny onesies his husband and he had just unwrapped together. It was a set of gender neutral outfits with a little cheeky saying of “Born together, forever friends.” It was really sweet.
“They’re adorable momma, thank you.”he replied softly as he laid them down in their pile once Jared had given them to him.
“That one is from us,” Alex spoke up as Jared had pulled over a bigger box than any of the others had been, and it made the younger male pray that Alex and Jason didn’t go overboard…
He watched a bit anxiously as his husband started ripping into the paper first, his eyes widening some as he saw the contents. A rocking chair, with an attached bassinet style bed on the side where either one or both babies could lay.
“Oh wow Alex…Jason..”he breathed as he watched Jared finish unwrapping the box, Jensen agreed with the unspoken words he could read all over the man’s face, it was too much..
“Don’t say it, I found that hiding in our warehouse and Meghan let me have it at a discount price.”Alex explained softly as she saw the look on her brother’s face.
Jensen’s eyes teared some as he knew it would be perfect in the nursery and because now after this he felt bad. He shouldn’t have snapped at her over the whole ‘maternity’ pictures session but he still wasn’t gonna change his mind.
“Thank you sis, I..it’ll look great in their nursery.”He replied softly as he carefully got up to hug them, smiling as she lightly patted his stomach.
“I’m sure it will, the seat and bed padding are supposed to be made of goose feathers so super soft,”she informed softly,”so hopefully you won’t get numb bottom,”she giggled making Jensen laugh affectionately with her,”well that’s a plus for sure,”he commented as he eased himself back down into his chair.
It seemed this day turned around pretty nicely afterall for which Jensen was grateful as he would’ve hated having a ruined holiday…
(bedtime, Jared)
“Nigh night daddy, papa.” Claire kisses her parent’s cheeks as Jared and his husband had finished tucking in all the littles, they’d had an eventful day after all and everyone was tired.
The younger male then locked up the house as he’d let his husband go on up.
‘I’d say Christmas went okay, nobody cried, nobody got in a fight, well we managed to avoid one after all which is good.’
The younger male thought as he idly wiped down the kitchen counters so his husband didn’t have tomorrow and could hopefully rest more.
He then let out a soft hum as he felt arms come around him, followed by a kiss placed on his neck,”You’re supposed to be in bed already mister,”he murmured softly with no real heat in his voice.
His pregnant husband hummed as his hands trailed up his chest,”I was waiting for you and got lonely, you didn’t tell me you were cleaning my kitchen. You know how that turns me on,” Jared smirked softly as very well indeed, it was a reason why he didn’t mind on top of other obvious reasons.
“Well I can’t finish if my love is lonely,”He hummed as he turned and embraced his man properly,”Whatever shall I do?”
His smirk grew as his husband trailed a hand down between them going straight to his center,”Come to bed with your husband,”his older male purred as they locked eyes. Jared leaned to gently connect their lips, bringing a hand up from Jensen’s hip to his baby bump lovingly caressing it and feeling a soft kick as he nodded,”Gladly,”he murmured against his husband’s lips before they locked up and went to bed.

Chapter Text

-Six weeks later (a month and a half), Jensen is 22 weeks along now, Thomas is 1 year and 11 months, Claire is 4 years and 11 months, Odette is now 1 year and 8 months old, and Baby Shep is 9 ½ months old. It’s early January)

(Jensen)
“Yes Dr. Jones, okay thank you..” The male sighed as he finished talking with his doctor, unknowingly pouting as he rubbed his belly. He was almost halfway through this pregnancy already and still didn’t know what they were having because their babies had taken after the both of them and were stubborn and shy. It was a bit discouraging and unknown to Jared, it had started weighing heavily on Jensen’s mind throughout the day. He also was home more because at his eighteen week checkup, Dr. Jones had been worried about him not hitting full term because of his and the babies’ sizes already, reminding him they all were completely healthy but she had her concerns she had to voice. She had suggested a bit of a “bedrest” meaning he wasn’t to be working full days, and if he had the opportunity to rest then he was to take it. At first, he hadn’t minded…now though he was getting bored. He hated January, it was cold, snowy and he couldn’t even help his husband with bringing in firewood anymore. All he had been allowed to do was be bundled up on the porch and watch their children play in the snow, not able to be out with them in case he slipped. That also had sucked and made him emotional. He was pregnant..not broken.
Easing himself out of the recliner, he went in search of his husband since the kids were napping as daycare had been canceled on account of weather but it was eerily quiet inside.
“No Lydia, I can’t come in. No,” Jensen frowned as he heard his husband on the phone in the kitchen.
“Because my husband is pregnant, and my kids are napping,”a giggle which made Jensen frown. Why would Jared be giggling by himself? And certainly why to Lydia, his assistant of all people…,”yes my kids and my pregnant husband.”his husband added as Jensen stopped just inside the kitchen door, Jared’s back to him as he carried on with his conversation.
“I’m sure you can figure it out,”a pause and Jensen watched Jared’s body language change,”Oh you need my big hands hmm? Guiding you along?” his husband’s voice dropped off to where Jensen could no longer hear, but Jensen wasn’t so sure he wanted to..
Why would Jared be talking to anyone but him like that? It suddenly made him sick to his stomach and turn on his heel to run away.. There was no way Jared was cheating on him right? Not after everything they’d been through…. He couldn’t bear the thought and squeezed his eyes tightly as he held his belly once he’d sat back down.

(Jared)
“Baby, Jen honey. Wake up love. I have dinner,” the younger male gently carded his fingers through his sleeping husband’s hair. His poor husband had been sleeping all afternoon like their children and it eased Jared’s mind to see him finally getting some rest. He also knew his man was getting bored being stuck inside thanks to Dr. Jones’ suggestion but he only helped enforce it because he too wanted this remainder of his husband’s pregnancy to go smoothly.
“Hmm, wha?” Jared smiled as he came out of his thoughts at hearing his man finally rouse awake,”It’s time for dinner honey, here let's eat at the table tonight.”He held his hands out to help Jensen up, completely missing the confused look the pregnant male threw his way….
(neither man)

Jensen rubbed his eyes once they’d all sat at the table and his plate had been sat in front of him. He was a bit surprised and it must've shown on his face, because a few moments later his husband was pecking his lips while giving his belly a soft caress,”I know you’ve been lonely eating in your chair so I switched it up tonight.” Jared was missing his husband’s smile this past week and hoped this helped.
“Oh..yeah I have..thank you honey.”He replied once he’d processed all he said. He kept thinking back to the conversion he overheard early, was Jared gonna bring it up? Should he? As much as he didn’t want it to be true, he didn’t want it to be left alone to fester either…
Dinner was eaten with light conversation, the kids talking amongst themselves and with their parents but Jensen couldn’t shake how he felt about what he’d heard since Jared wasn’t acting differently at all..
Jared of course had noticed something off with his husband, his tone wasn’t the same and he just seemed a bit distant. What made him decide they needed a talk, was when he went to touch his husband’s knee and Jensen had pulled away…what was going on?

(still neither, bedtime)
Jensen finished rubbing his lotion on his belly while watching Jared in their en suite brushing his teeth, there was building tension and neither one liked it.
“Are you mad at me?”Jared was the one that broke the silence that had settled since the rejected affection in the kitchen first, looking at his husband like a confused kicked puppy.
Jensen blinked as he sat his bottle down, dried his hands and then carefully stood,”Why would I be mad at you?”he asked, keeping his tone light and void of accusation.
“At dinner, you.. You pulled away from me..”
“I did?” Wait what? Jensen didn’t recall doing it? Now Jared was more confused and it showed as he looked at his husband with his brows furrowed.
“Yeah…”He drew out slowly as he moved closer to his man, going to caress his bare belly only for Jensen to take a half step back. ”Jen..what? You just moved away from me again..Baby, what did I do?”he asked, the hurt ringing clear like a bell.
Jensen swallowed,”What did Lydia want?”he started looking at his husband with a frown.
“Lydia? My teaching assistant Lydia?”Jared frowned.
“Yes,”Jensen sniffed, trying to wrangle in his hormones for this conversation.
“I haven’t talked to her tod..”
“I heard you on the phone..”
Jared blinked in confusion, barely hearing the next words his husband started to ramble on…”I know I’m fat, and moody and you..you don’t want me right now…”until Jensen started to cry, which had Jared moving to pull his man into his arms immediately,”Hey hey no..a million times no. ssh ssh, baby stop.”he managed to cup Jensen’s cheek holding him still as his man had started to squirm in his hold which broke Jared’s heart because this wasn’t them..
“But..”
“But nothing,”Jared held his chin so he couldn’t look away,”You are all I want in this world, and after. I won’t ever want another, you of all people should know because of everything we have been through together baby.”he kissed his nose softly as he cradled his belly with his free hand,”and you are far from fat. You are so so beautiful I have to control myself to keep from jumping you every hour of the day, the feeling I assume is still mutual,”Jensen gave a tiny nod before Jared continued,”I..I don’t know what brought this on, but it breaks my heart..”he sniffled tears in his own eyes now because he loved Jensen so much and didn’t understand what had brought this on..
Jensen listened to his husband, his confused mind practically clearing like a cloudy sky and with a soft sob he buried himself against his husband’s chest as he cried, holding onto him so tight he briefly worried about hurting him all the while mumbling “i’m sorry” over and over again.
Jared just held him still so confused but also being a physical reminder he was here and would never leave.
It was twenty minutes later when Jensen finally calmed down enough to speak,”I…so you didn’t get a phone call today? Didn’t ask Lydia if she needed your big hands to guide her?” Jared refrained from laughing, not meanly but just at how ridiculous it sounded as he shook his head firmly,”No baby...I cleaned the kitchen for you top to bottom while everyone napped, including you.”
Now Jensen frowned as he pulled back,”Wait napped? I napped? I..i didn’t get up looking for you?”he asked, now extremely confused.
“No…” Jared planted a soft kiss on his forehead,”you fell asleep like thirty minutes after the kids did, and slept till I woke you for dinner.”
Jensen sniffed as he wiped his eyes,”Oh my god I’m going crazy,”he cried softly, a wet laugh escaping him that worried both him and Jared,”I..i imagined you cheating on me..”he cried softly,”Oh my god I’m the worst husband ever..”
“Hey no, no you’re not honey..”
“How so?”he sniffled as he looked at his husband,”I..after all we’ve been through and overcome and the first thing that happened when I get so bored and stir crazy from this fucking bedrest, is that I accuse you, the most perfect husband ever of cheating on me.”he cried as he looked at Jared.
Jared’s heart ached as he cupped his husband’s face,”you are not the worst, because as your husband I should’ve noticed you were miserable and this enforced rest was driving you nuts. I’m sorry baby. You are so perfect to me and I feel bad you started feeling this way because I got so worried about you and these babies. Especially when I promised you I wouldn’t invalidate any of your feelings or make you feel like you couldn’t handle yourself.”he kissed him gently,”but no more, I’m so sorry and I’m gonna make it up to you.”
Jensen sniffled as he kissed him back before looking confused,”I..how?”he asked softly.
“By planning a vacation, wherever you wanna go before these babies come. A Babymoon,”he smirked softly making Jensen blush,”Oh honey..we can’t..”
“Afford it? Yes we can. I got vacation hours built up and they’ll be paid. So wherever you wanna go, we will.”
Jensen sniffled as he wiped his eyes,”somewhere the kids will enjoy too, like Tennessee..”he then smirked,”Myrtle Beach,”he smiled widely having chosen.
“Perfect place.” They shared a soft kiss of love and apology before Jensen pulled back, a baby kicking at them and a soft pout on his lips,”I also wish the babies would stop being shy..”
Jared smiled because this he could easily handle,”I do too love, hey did Dr. Jones call?”After the babies hiding at Jensen’s eighteen week appointment and again at his twentieth they’d decided to try the blood test method, the results were supposed to only take a few weeks.
“She did, but the results aren’t back yet. The system went down so she’s supposed to call me tomorrow with good news hopefully.”
Jared frowned softly as he rubbed his back,”then we’ll be patient, I know it’s hard but remember you haven’t done anything wrong babydoll. You’re doing so good and I am so proud of you,”he praised making Jensen blush and stay close to him.
“Thank you honey, and I know..it just weighs on me sometimes when I’m so bored and I wanna be able to talk to them..pick out their names and everything…and I can’t because I don’t know.”he admitted softly.
Jared nodded in understanding and had been about to say something more when Jensen’s phone rang on the nightstand, his man immediately moving to answer it. It was Dr. Jones.
“Hey Jensen, I know it’s late but I finally got your results back. I had asked they be sent to my personal email if they came in after hours,”
Jensen immediately put the call on speaker phone,”What are we having?”he asked, almost praying while grabbing Jared’s hand when his man had come closer.
“A little boy and a little girl, congratulations to you too.”she had assumed Jared was there too, and hadn’t wasted a second since they’d waited so long already.
Jensen started to cry softly as he finally knew and felt relief wash over him,”Thank you, so much Dr. Jones.”
“Yes thank you,”Jared spoke up then hummed,”Hey while we have you, can we discuss his bedrest?” he gave her a brief rundown of why upon her agreeing, and within ten minutes Jared had the rest lifted.
“Thank you..”Jensen wiped his eyes once they’d hung up with Dr. Jones.
Jared smiled as he pulled him in close before leading them to bed,”Your happiness means everything to me,”he soothed giving him a soft kiss while rubbing his belly soothingly,”and from now on we’re not gonna let you get cabin fever this bad ever again.” since after talking with jones, they had discovered that can happen in expectant people.
“Good, because it sucks and I don’t like it.”his pregnant husband whispered as he stayed close, letting his man rub on him.
“I didn’t either, never again and don’t be afraid to tell me. Everything,”he reminded Jensen, who nodded before yawning.
Both men fell asleep together, Jared continuously rubbing over their son and daughter and keeping his husband close and Jensen finally relaxed as his mind no longer felt overwhelmed with boredom and uncertainties.

Chapter Text

-Two weeks later, Jensen is 24 weeks along now, Thomas is 1 year and 11 months, Claire is 4 years and 11 months, Odette is now 1 year and 8 months old, and Baby Shep is 10 months old. It’s middle of January)

(Jared, the night before they leave)

Jared was smiling as he finished double checking everyone’s suitcase. They would be leaving in the early morning for their flight to Myrtle Beach, the younger male had thought about driving but with his pregnant husband already experiencing a rough go of cabin fever, he didn’t wanna risk making it worse by trapping everyone in a car for hours on end. Plus that would be hell on Jensen more in general because he was pregnant. He just hoped everything went according to plan…but with four kids, three still under two years old he knew there were bound to be some bumps.
“And done,”the younger smiled as he finally deemed everything but the kitchen sink to be packed and by the door for their 6am departure.
Their flight left at eight, he hoped leaving at six with still sleeping babies would make things a tiny bit easier…
Jared continued to smile as he climbed into bed, curling around his sleeping husband and cradling his belly automatically,”Goodnight my loves,”he murmured with a kiss to the back of his man’s neck, smiling as he felt Jensen melt against him as if falling deeper into sleep. Within moments, Jared fell asleep too excited for tomorrow.
(neither, 6am)
“Daddy! I can’t find my shoes,”
“They’re by the door honey, daddy put them there for a reason..”
“Papa, I wet..”
“Okay, papa’s coming..”
Jensen and Jared both jogged through the house passing in opposite directions as the kids -except for Shep- hadn’t stayed asleep at all and had decided to try helping their parents, which if both fathers were being honest, they wished they’d just stayed asleep.
“I’ve got it honey…”
“I'm already there,” Jensen replied, keeping his voice as calm as possible as he carefully crouched to start changing Odette into a diaper, it would be easier for the flight.
Jared understood as his man was tired he was right there with him so he just nodded quietly. He was smart enough to not poke his man before he’d properly woken up but it still made him wish that he was changing their daughter instead, if only because of his husband’s back…
Once everyone was finally shoed up, changed and Jensen had a thermos of tea compliments of his husband they were loaded and heading to the airport, every child thankfully dozed back off during that drive giving the men time to wake up properly.
“I love you,”Jensen started softly fifteen minutes after they had left the house, smiling as he reached for his husband’s hand, Jared happily taking it and giving the back of Jensen’s a soft kiss as he repeated the loving phase back to him.
“Babies okay?”the younger male asked softly as he moved their hands to his husband’s rounded belly, making the older male blush as he nodded,”Mhmm, they copied their older brother Shep and stayed asleep. Jared smiled softly as he idly rubbed with his thumb,”Awe well that’s sweet, means they weren’t making their papa uncomfortable.”
“I’m glad, they were kicking all night until you crawled into bed with me. I think he was pushing at her,”he chuckled quietly as he looked down at where Jared’s thumb was still just absentmindedly sliding back and forth.
“Oh you think she’s in front huh?”the younger father asked with a soft smile,”You’re probably right, since Baby A in front was always curling away from the wand.”
Jensen nodded softly in agreement,”Yeah that and the weight I feel against my sciatica feels a bit heavier and remember Jones said Baby B is just an ounce or so heavier than Baby A.”he blushed softly,”So if baby B isn’t taking after you, then I’m completely wrong.”he giggled softly, making Jared smile as he’d missed the sound.
“I’m sure their stubbornness is all from you,”he teased softly as he leaned to kiss him at a stoplight which made Jensen blush even more.
“You’re stubborn too mister,”Jensen murmured softly against his lips before pulling back so he could drive once more.
“I am well aware my love,”Jared smiled softly as he continued on.
(on the flight, still neither)
“Please fasten your seat belts as we ascend and thank you for choosing royalty airlines, an attendant will be around once the light goes green.” Jensen sighed in relief once the overheard speaker ended, they’d made the flight with ease and he couldn’t wait to be in Myrtle beach with his husband and family. The older father leaned to kiss his man’s cheek in a soft unspoken thank you as they took off.
“Whoa..we go fast..”Claire giggled as she looked out the window, they’d managed to get their seats all together and the older kids were within arms reach of both their parents.
“Yeah, it goes fast. That’s why daddy had us go in a plane,”Jared smiled at her as he was feeding Shep currently, since the baby had woken up the moment they’d sat in their seats.
“I cited,”Claire smiled at her father as she went back to looking out the window.
Jensen smiled at her as he idly rubbed up Odette’s back as she was asleep on his chest, her bottom rested lightly on the top of his bump. They were hoping she slept peacefully the whole flight as it was only a few hours long.

(Jared, myrtle beach)
“Oh wow honey..I Jared this is beautiful,”the younger male’s husband breathed upon opening their hotel room, more like a suite three hours later. Despite being tired, Jared could tell the older pregnant male was ready to explore everything there was to offer.
Jared smiled affectionately at his husband as he carefully eased a sleeping Shep and Dot down onto the big king sized bed he’d sprung for, knowing the memory foam would be heaven on his man’s back before coming over to his man.
“I was hoping you would say that darling,”he murmured with a gentle kiss to his neck while caressing over his baby bump,”I got the memory foam bed too,”he whispered, making Jensen purr in what he assumed to be anticipation of sleeping in it later.
“Daddy, we go out?”Claire asked even though she started rubbing her eyes tiredly. He refrained from chuckling at how she was barely holding back little yawns.
“I think first we all should take a nap. We were up early, and I know we’re excited but trust daddy we have plenty of days here to explore.”Jared smiled since he’d booked the room for almost two weeks as he’d wanted to make sure there would be little to no chance of Jensen’s cabin fever returning, in all honesty if he could keep it away for the remainder of the pregnancy then he was going too.
His almost five year old pouted at him, but other than that made no other complaints.
“Um where are they sleeping again love?” his husband spoke up.
“Ah, that brings me to the reason I said bring their comforters.”Jared moved to the other suitcase that had the kid’s blankets -not that he didn’t entirely trust the hotel bedding but because he knew how their children liked having their own personal blankets when it came to bedtime- and opened it,”Mind opening that closet for me love?”he asked of his husband, who gave him a slight confused look before doing so.
Inside was a fold up cot for the younger babies and on the bottom an old style roll up futon big enough for Claire and Thomas.
“Oh convenient,”His husband chuckled softly as he carefully got both items out,”there’s even sheets, up here on this shelf.”
“Mhmm, this means everyone gets their own spot to sleep besides the big bed.”Jared smirked as he came back over to his husband,”that is for daddies,”he winked, making his husband flush and shift a bit on his feet. With a smirk on his lips, he gently kissed his husband’s forehead and lovingly stroked his swollen belly before taking Thomas to the potty.
(Jensen)
‘Damn that man is too perfect. Knows how to get me all wild even though I'm exhausted. Damn hormones also’
The older male thought as he carefully unfolded the provided sheets to make up the futon while Jared got the littles all changed and the potty used before coming back out for the family nap time that Jensen honestly was grateful as his tiredness was starting to catch up with him too.
Together, Jared and himself got all the kiddos laid and tucked into their current beds with the tv on low to help ease them to sleep before lying down themselves, Jensen letting out a soft groan as the mattress curved and dipped to each part of him.
“Oh can we please upgrade our bed to one of these bad boys?”he murmured, making his husband chuckle affectionately as he eased in beside him, a hand snaking its way to his belly automatically making the older male smile tiredly.
“And lose all the memories of making our beautiful family? Hmm, are you sure?”the younger male whispered, giving Jensen pause.
“Hmm good point, maybe just a pillow topper then.”he angled his head forward enough to connect their lips in a gentle kiss, just a little soft loving peck that showed how happy Jensen currently was.
His comment got him a love filled quiet chuckle,”Okay my love, we’ll look into it.”Another soft kiss before Jensen felt his belly being caressed in a soothing rhythm, which both knew always put both babies as well as himself to sleep.
“You know you doing that puts me to sleep…”the older man murmured softly, his eyes already drifting closed.
“Mhmm, because you need it my beloved.”
“Okay, I love you..so so much,”Jensen breathed out as he lay a hand beside his husband’s.
“I love you, infinity.”was the last thing he’d heard before he succumbed to sleep.

(Jensen)
When the older male woke up, he desperately needed to pee and with a barely held back whine he eased himself out of Jared’s arms and carefully made himself to the bathroom, taking a quick second to admire it as it was just as beautiful as the room -and he hadn’t seen in yet- with a deep whirlpool tub and double sink. His husband was literally the best man ever and Jensen didn’t know how to ever repay the man other than giving him all his love.
Once done with his business, the pregnant male moved to wash his hands humming quietly to himself as he felt one of the babies shift and wiggle inside him,”yeah daddy’s the best isn’t he,”he murmured gently rubbing over where he felt movement with a soft smile,”brought us here to help papa relax so he doesn’t go crazy,”he took a deep breath at that as he braced one hand against the sink and let the other cradle his belly soothingly,”and give your big siblings a real beach experience. Hmm gonna go back to sleep for papa, or should we wake up daddy?”he smirked softly as he felt the same moving baby kick at him,”I’ll take that as a yes.” With that the older male made his way back out to his husband, carefully crawling into bed and moving so his husband’s hand could back to cradling his belly, Jensen carefully bending it to where the dozing man could feel their kicking child.
Surprisingly it only took a few moments before his man let out a soft sound of contentment, splaying his fingers to cup Jensen’s bump and slowly cracking open his eyes with a lazy smile,”what a way to be woken,”the younger male murmured, making Jensen smile as he titled his chin up to catch his man’s lips,”hmm your daughter is telling you she’s hungry,”he murmured softly.
“Oh is she now?”Jared whispered as he started idly caressing over the kicking baby with his thumb, Jensen nodding softly as he bit his lip shyly,”well what does my daughter want to eat?”
“Hmm well I can’t have a lot of seafood since I’m pregnant but man being here makes me want some,”Jensen gave a soft pout, since that seemed to be the only downfall he’d discovered so far.
“Ah ah no pout beautiful, daddy did some research and you can actually have up to ten ounces of non predatory and fully cooked fish. So you can have salmon, shrimp, cod or catfish and the serving size is one or two.”
Jensen blinked softly since he hadn’t known that at all, had always just avoided all seafood in past pregnancies despite getting the craving for it because he had always heard it wasn’t safe,”I literally didn’t know that at all. Do you have any idea how many times I craved shrimp when I was pregnant with Claire? Oh lord it was bad,”he grumbled quietly under his breath as he remembered.
His husband chuckled quietly at him,”I am so sorry for back then sweetheart, but don’t worry we’ll get you some now.”
“Promise?”Jensen whispered as he titled his head up to look into his husband’s eyes lovingly, making his man smile as he leaned to give him another soft kiss.
“Absolutely. In fact, let's get dressed, wake the littles and then we’ll hit Crab Daddy’s Seafood Buffet,” Jensen smirked as he knew by researching on the plane that it was one of the best buffets in Myrtle Beach and Jensen couldn’t wait.

Chapter Text

(Jensen)
Unfortunately the next morning didn’t start so hot for the expectant father as his morning sickness sent him straight to the bathroom before the sun was even out, with a groan he gripped the hotel porcelain as he emptied his belly of last night’s supper and the late night snack of ice cream they’d had delivered per the twins’ cravings.
Jensen grumbled softly as he spit before carefully moving to start himself a bath hoping it will help him feel better,”Hmm please don’t make papa feel sick all day…”he murmured as he caressed his belly soothingly from his place on the floor.
“Honey, are you okay?”he looked up at hearing his husband, almost pouting as he shook his head.
“No, I got a headache and I puked,”he replied softly, his husband coming down to kiss his forehead in response.
“Well we can’t have that, take a bath sweetheart I’ll check on the kiddos and then come join you,”he winked softly, Jensen blushing deeply at this as he carefully moved to get up and climb into the bath moments later.
(Jared)
‘Bathe husband, give him some relief and then today might be a beach day’
The younger male smiled as he grabbed clothes for him and his currently soaking husband as he’d already checked on their kids- everyone was still sleeping peacefully- so he now had the luxury of joining his man in the bath.
“Are you still soaking sweetheart?”he hummed as he came back into the bathroom, smiling as he saw his pregnant husband in fact was.
Once he’d stripped himself, he gently eased in behind his husband, lightly wrapping him in his arms,”Hmm ease yourself into my lap baby, you can ride me if you want.”he whispered into his ear as he let his hands slide down to cradle their babies not going to force his man but gentle reminding him that he could if he wanted.
Jensen let out a soft sound that was music to the younger male’s ears as he did so, gently sliding down on Jared’s hardened length with a quiet moan.
“There we go, gonna give my man some love. Hmm my beautiful husband. Look so gorgeous carrying our healthy babies.”he praised as he rubbed his belly lightly enjoying the soft sound the expectant male made in response to his words. It made him happy to see his man relaxed and happy.
“So I checked the weather last night at supper, and the forecast is nice but not too hot. How does a beach day sound to you?”he mused softly with a kiss to his man’s temple after sitting together in silence for a moment.
“Mm it sounds good, did you manage to find a semi private spot though? Where the tide won’t be too high for the kids?”
“I believe I did, it’s near a boardwalk so I’m not sure about the privacy levels sweetheart,”the younger male replied gently since he’d known his man was asking because he was a bit self conscious too,”but remember you’re beautiful and male pregnancy quickly became very accepted. Besides, we don’t give a damn what people think as long as we’re happy.”he reminded gently, feeling the way his man lightly shivered from his words.
“I know, just..yeah..”his man replied softly, to which Jared understood his choppy response that confirmed he was right.
“It’ll be perfect baby, I brought the tripod so we can get plenty of pictures of all of the babies,”he kissed his man’s collarbone gently while also giving a roll of his hips, coaxing a soft sound out of Jensen easily,”attaboy, just relax for daddy.”he murmured softly against his man’s shoulder as he did the move again. Just taking his time and letting Jensen fully relax.
(neither)
“T..thank you baby..”Jensen breathed softly as he lightly rolled his hips back into his man, slowly easing his mind and his semi silly worries.
“No thanks needed sweetheart, but you’re always welcome.”the younger murmured, hands trailing lightly across the older’s body and caressing every little changing surface in his wake, easily making Jensen melt into more of a puddle against Jared.
Both had known they’d needed this little quiet session after the week they’d had beforehand so it was nice and it was clear both men were clearly enjoying themselves as they always did anyways.
“Daddies? Gotta potty..” then came Claire’s soft sleepy voice, making Jared hum softly as he carefully leaned up to pull the curtain closed knowing her needing the potty didn’t have to interrupt what they’d been doing,”Here come in and go potty sweetie, so you don’t have an accident..”
“Are you sure?”
“The curtain is closed,”Jared soothed his husband gently, the door opening seconds later signaling their daughter coming in, then the soft sound of her going filled the quiet room.
“Good job princess,”Jared praised her softly, then began washing his husband so they could get out when she was done, since they didn’t want to risk flashing her or anything.
“I done,”Claire spoke up once she’d finished,”I go bed,”
Both men then finished their bath and dressed, Jared making sure to give his husband’s belly lots of lovings as well as his man himself before they came out to wake their babies for the beach.
(Beach: neither)
“Papa, uuh go.” Thomas wiggled in his older father’s hold as the male was trying to apply sunscreen to ruddy cheeks, he would rather not deal with sunburns this trip since according to his husband the weather man it was going to be hotter tomorrow.
“I know bubba, I know. Papa is almost done,”Jensen soothed as he managed to gently trap his baby between his knees while he finished up shushing his baby once more before he let go,”there papa is all done,”
The older male then chuckled softly as he watched their toddler rush to his daddy who was already bent over at the water’s edge with Odette, letting her get the feel of water.
Jensen himself was sitting on shore for a moment taking a few photos before he was gonna join his man with baby Shep who was laying in the baby dome half dozing out of sleep since he’d had a feeding not that long ago.
“Let’s go see if you like ocean water too, hmm papa will hold you.”the older male cooed as he carefully picked up their babyboy who gave him a soft confused coo and full body stretch, which melted Jensen into peppering his little face in tons of kisses as he carefully made his way to his husband and kids.
“Yay papa came!”Claire giggled from where she was standing by Jared’s legs as the tide had started making its way in.
“Yes he did, had to wait on bubba to wake up so he could enjoy the water too,”Jensen smiled at his oldest affectionately as he carefully came out with Shep half on his hip grateful when the baby didn’t immediately start crying on him.
The younger male smiled as he glanced up from Claire towards his expectant husband and infant. God his man looked beautiful in the warm afternoon sun, practically adding to his pregnancy glow.
“I think he’s alright, I was fully expecting him to start freaking out.”Jared commented softly as he moved to peck his man softly, making the older male blush some as he adjusted the baby on his side, smiling as he let out a tiny squeal when a small wave came in.
Claire giggled as she held onto her daddy’s swim trunks not wanting to get caught up since she still didn’t swim the best.
“Hmm the water is nicer than I thought it would be, being salt water and all.”the older male commented as it felt like heaven against his stretching hips. He already was feeling relief on his pregnant body.
“Yeah, I am glad. Not easy keeping it out of little mouths tho..”Jared cut himself off by quickly scooping Thomas up as the boy got an accidental swallow.
“Yucky! Daddy!”the youngin cried as he clung to his younger father, spitting down his back with a pitiful whine.
Jensen winced softly, balancing Shep and making his way around to his husband’s back, gently brushing off their boy’s pouty lips since his hands were still dry,”Ssh ssh, it’s okay. Daddy got you, spit it out bubba. Daddy will wash,”he soothed watching as Thomas did just that, though got a bit worried at the color,”Um honey…it's green…”he didn’t like that.
His husband immediately yet carefully moved Thomas so he could see his face as well,”I better take him to get a drink. That’s not a color I wanna see coming out of our son…”he frowned since a bit had clung to the toddler’s chin, Jensen shared a similar expression as he nodded.
“Why don’t we all take a drink break,”He knew he’d just gotten in but he wanted to be with Thomas as well..
“But you just got in papa…”Claire whined his unspoken thought process, which made him look down at her,”I know darling, but Papa is worried about bubba, and you need some more sunscreen.”he gently booped her nose. She had clearly gotten his sun sensitive skin over Jason’s could get a tan in only 60 degree weather, his poor girl.
“Ugh no. It sticky.”she crossed her little arms but started wadding towards shore with them.
Jensen gave her a soft hum as they got back towards their stuff which thankfully no one had messed with, the older male watching as Jared eased himself down with Thomas in his lap,”Okay open for Daddy,”
Both watched as Thomas did, Jensen letting out the first wince of worry as he saw his baby’s red throat,”Jesus..Jay that’s not good…”
“I know..I hope he doesn’t have a saltwater allergy….”
That made Jensen pause, frowning as he thought. He had been to numerous appointments and check ups over the years obviously but couldn’t recall,”I’m honestly not sure, I don’t think he was ever tested. Then again, he is only almost two.”he felt bad as a parent for not having the boy tested sooner…
“Hey, don’t do that. Don’t even go there babe, it’s okay. We’ll get through this,”Jared spoke up, making Jensen look his way, biting his lip as he did.
“Okay…I just..so much for beach day..”
“It’s okay, let's pack up and take him to the closest doctor and then if it's true, there’s an awesome indoor water park I was looking into anyways.”
Jensen managed a smile. His husband still managed to amaze him even in the simplest ways,”Really? God you’re amazing. Maybe the kids will be better suited for that anyways…no tides to knock them over,”he kissed Jared’s lips lightly and Thomas’ head before they got to work loading up.
Twenty minutes later, they’d been informed Thomas did have a slight saltwater allergy but with a liquid shot of antihistamine their boy was all smiles and giggles once more. They also left with a packet of uncommon allergies in toddlers and a bottle of the meds he’d been given,”Ready to try that waterpark? I did some more reading on it while we were waiting for his results and all the water is ran through a big industrial water filter so our boy, and all his siblings should be all good.”
Jensen smiled as he nodded,”that sounds perfect honey,”he also knew being indoors there would be no more tears over sunscreen application which the older male was thankful for as he was getting a bit tired of pinning their kids against his swollen middle. Thomas’ last application had even earned him a soft blow to the ribs that he hadn’t enjoyed.
Despite the bump in the road, Beach Day wasn’t a total loss and both men were ready for more adventures while they were here, and hopefully there would be no more surprise allergy popups, one could only pray though and that would have to be enough. “Off to the waterpark,”Jared announced with a big smile and squeeze of his husband’s hand, Jensen happily smiling back as the kids cheered. -at the waterpark, Jensen- “Daddy wook.” Thomas giggled as he splashed in the kids only section of Dunes Village waterpark. It truly had been the perfect alternative to the hot, humid and sandy beach -even though it had been nice for the adults- and after Thomas allergic reaction Jensen was glad to see a smile back on his baby’s face. “I see you bubba, having so much fun huh?”he cooed as he stretched some to see him better as he himself was laid back in a lounge chair where he was able to see all the little babies while Jared was off getting drinks and snacks. Thomas giggled at him before he got sprayed by a rubber duck compliments of Odette who was sitting in a baby square floater which of course caused more happy squeals from his toddler. “Here we are, daddy has snacks.” his husband then appeared with a tray of juice boxes, a bowl of animal crackers, two waters and what appeared to be a split sandwich. The older male smiled as he sat up some to take the tray so his husband could round up their littles,”thank you honey,”he smiled at Jared affectionately once the male had returned with Odette, Thomas and Claire. “My pleasure love, figured it was time for a break.”the younger male replied softly since they also planned on getting lunch here soon as there was a restaurant attached. Jensen hummed softly as the kids all crowded in to get semi dried off before sitting to munch on their snacks and Jared fed Shep as the baby was fussing,”Hmm everyone having fun?”he asked softly after a few moments of peaceful silence. He received 4 rounds of giggles and nodding which made him happy as well, he leaned and gave his husband’s cheek a soft kiss before digging into their shared lunch. So far this Babymoon was doing wonders for everyone, not just his mental health and he was so grateful for his wonderful and loving husband.

Chapter Text

(Neither male, next morning)
“Jay..babe are you serious..?”
“Yes, if you’re up for it..”
“I dunno…”
“Your beautiful baby, remember and god you’re practically glowing...”
This made Jensen blush as he looked down to where he was absentmindedly cradling his belly. Both men were currently sitting out on the patio while their kids were sleeping a bit longer as yesterday had worn them out. They were discussing Jared’s surprise for their day three adventure. A “paternity” shoot on the beach…which had as you may have guessed shocked Jensen…because of how against the entire idea they’d both been before coming here.
“I just…I thought we wanted private photos…remember we both shot Alex down repeatedly at Christmas and again at the baby shower…”it seemed a bit of a contradiction now and would probably hurt her feelings if and when she found out.
“I know love, but that was back at home. This is a different setting and honestly, I’ve been thinking more about it and I don’t think we should miss the opportunity a fifth time since this may be our last chance…” he stroked Jensen’s belly gently.
This comment made Jensen think for a moment since they had discussed this being Jensen’s last pregnancy because of his age, -more recently thanks to Dr. Jones’ words- but if Jared wanted another baby, then that would be a possibility with a whole different conversation.
The expectant man slowly nodded some as he soothed a hand over one of the babies, "I know..I’m just ya know…” he bit his lip some as he glanced downwards.
Jared immediately reached to cup his cheek and cover the hand on his belly as well as he knew the unspoken words easily, "I know, and I’ll continue to remind you there’s no need to be my darling. You are literally the most beautiful pregnant man, and I am so glad to be the reason. "He smirked a bit cheekily making the older male smile and affectionately roll his eyes, "only saying that cause I married you, "he teased.
“Never, "the younger hummed as he gently gave him a kiss while interlacing their fingers together over their squirming children, "please…” the younger of the two murmurs softly a few moments later against his husband’s soft lips, "I’ll be the photographer if it makes you more open to the idea. I just want to really see you in a different lightning, different setting. We can always delete anything we don’t like and take private photos when we’re home or even when the kids are in bed, candlelit lighting is sexy. "He nipped his bottom lip lightly.
Jensen let out a soft sigh against his husband’s lips, the other male making it hard to tell him no just by being his loving self.
“Okay…” He relented in a soft murmur as he moved closer towards him since they were sitting on a patio swing.
The younger male smirked softly in happiness before giving his man a proper love filled kiss, "thank you sweetheart, "he praised softly, Jensen’s cheeks flushing in response.
“I love you, "the older male whispered instead of a “you’re welcome” as Jared hadn’t really been asking for one in this conversation.
“I love you more, "Jared whispered softly, his smile growing as he felt soft kicks against his palms that cheekily had him wondering if it was because his children agreed with him, but he kept that thought to himself at least for now.
“One question though, "Jensen spoke up softly as he laid his head on Jared’s shoulder just looking out at the scenery while his husband continued caressing his belly.
“What’s that? "Jared murmured against Jensen’s temple.
“What are we gonna do with the kids? Can’t exactly be naked or in little to nothing with little eyes around,”
This made Jared pause because he honestly hadn’t expected Jensen to say yes, "mm, let me think of that, "he was sure he could think of something that would keep their children with them since they didn’t wanna miss any chance of memories, but also have them out of sight enough where they wouldn’t see if Jensen wasn’t fully clothed.
“Hmm okay, wonder if there’s like a babysitter thing, we could take advantage of for like an hour, "Jensen thought softly, making Jared hum and kiss his head, "Very possible, we can look over breakfast. "he decided softly as they were taking advantage of the free one downstairs today.

-breakfast, Jensen-
Jensen hummed as he gently wiped little mouths since they’d just finished the complimentary breakfast and everyone was raring to go on their next adventure, which their younger father was still searching for…Jensen wouldn’t say anything out loud as he didn’t want to discourage his husband’s hopes but in the almost two hours they’d been looking, he was getting a bit hopeless himself…
“Aha. "The younger male exclaimed softly, making Jensen glance his way, "Little Critters Seashell Dig. "His husband finished giving him a big cheeky grin as he showed him his phone.
Jensen browsed through it for a moment, it seemed fun and all but there was one snag, "All children must be two or older,”
“Thomas is a month away; we could stretch the truth just this once and take Shep and Dot with us in the pack and play.”Jared replied without missing a beat, something that nearly made Jensen chuckle since clearly his man had been thinking about that too.
“Well, those gears just been turning away in there huh honey, "he teased softly, earning a soft blush from his husband.
“Yes. Yes, they have, "the younger replied as Jensen gently shook his head affectionately as he went back to looking through the webpage. He wasn’t surprised to see the signup at the bottom and a time slot available in two hours.
“Okay, let’s get these kiddos ready. "He looked at his husband with a little smile as he was still a bit nervous, but he trusted Jared with everything he had so he was being optimistic.
Jared leaned to give him a soft kiss, "I love you, "he then turned to their older children who Jensen realized were waiting patiently, "ready to go up loves?”
They both squealed and climbed onto both their father’s laps for cuddles before the family made their way upstairs to prepare.
“Hey honey, one more thing, "Jensen spoke up to his husband once in the elevator, "I don’t have anything really to wear,”
When Jared simply gave him a wink and smirk combo, he swallowed a bit nervously because that meant there was, yet another surprise involved….
(Jensen)
A surprise indeed it had been... beautiful hunter green “paternity” outfit that came with a long flowy shawl like wrap that could also be used to cover what you didn’t want to be shown and it was made specifically for male pregnancies and would look beautiful with Jensen’s skin complexion. The older male had no damn clue how his husband had even come across it, but he’d teared up upon seeing it.
“Jay…it’s beautiful…” He gently felt the soft material while cradling his bump. They had also found a peaceful and empty spot under the docks where the sun would hit the water and create the perfect backdrop for Jensen’s pictures. Somehow in two short hours, Jared had managed to cover all the bases and now it was photo time…Jensen just had to get ready.
(Jared)
“Beautiful, truly. Tilt your chin for me love, "the younger coached before snapping yet another beautiful shot of his pregnant husband, while somehow managing to not tear up. His man was positively glowing right now and with the sun at just the right angle it definitely rang true with the last shot.
His man blushed just right with a little giggle that Jared made sure to capture as well, "Are we done yet love? "The older playfully complained as he shifted some, the shawl flowing behind him thanks to the gentle ocean breeze they had.
“Almost gorgeous, just give me a couple more. "He soothed as he came to help him readjust on the sand with nothing covering him but his hands this time, "beautiful, sexy, and all mines." Jared praised as he got the last set of photos that he wanted before helping his man up to kiss him deeply.
“Can’t I see? "His husband pouted to which Jared cheekily shook his head no as he held him as flush against him as he could with his beautiful swollen belly.
“No, you have to wait. "He teased softly, kissing the pout as they both knew he’d show him later once all the babies were asleep.
“So not fair, "Jensen murmured quietly into his lips as they lazily kissed, "you’re lucky I love you,”
“I love you honey, I always will. "The younger replied, draping the shawl around his naked husband, "mm much as I don’t want to, let’s get you dressed and go pick up our babies. Your session is over, please feel free to rate later. "Jared cheekily winked making his husband affectionately roll his eyes while planting a kiss on his lips, a hand also snaking between them to cup Jared, "I intend too, "his husband murmured softly before pulling away to get dressed. Jared let out a groan as he watched for a moment before starting to grab their things. His man would never cease in being able to drive him up the wall and he reveled in that fact.

(Neither male- mid afternoon)
After picking up their children, they had a wonderful lunch and even took the kids to Ripley's aquarium where each one had quickly picked a favorite animal, as well as demanding for the stuffed versions from the gift shop. During the amazement filled upper level they had the joys of being able to pet both baby sting rays and even penguins. One squawking at Jared for some unknown reason that had made the older of two men laugh as it was kind of funny. Said younger male had just blinked at the animal though in confusion before continuing to push the wagon, "Well then, guess penguins no longer love me.”he pouted, making Claire frown, "no way! Daddy da best! "She exclaimed before sticking her tongue out at the animals, then squealing as the animal squawked at her next.
“I think that one is just picky, "Jensen chimed in softly, shaking his head at the silliness of it all as he walked beside his husband, idly stroking his belly as he felt squirmies from their tiny babies.
“Honey look, seahorses. Jensen then pointed out softly as he stopped in front of the tank. He always thought it was fascinating how the male carried the babies,”I still reel at the fact the male seashores are like us…they carry the babies. "He smiled as he looked at his husband lovingly.
The older children gasped softly at this, little hands gently on the glass as they were mesmerized by what they saw, "tey do? "Thomas asked softly, "like daddy and papa? "he asked softly, "baby dere belly too? "He pointed out, adorably intrigued.
“Yes bubba. They’re like daddy and I, "Jensen replied softly to his boy, his smile growing at the boy’s curiosity that somehow he swore was from Jared.
“Whoa, cool." Claire smiled as she watched the animals swimming around and through their habitats, two of them even coming together and joining tails,”Awe wook! They like daddies, gether!”she exclaimed softly, pointing it out while nudging her parents' legs.
Jensen blushed softly with a squeeze to his husband’s hand, while Jared gently planted a kiss upon his temple,” Yeah, I think you're right princess cause look, that one has a little tummy. Just like papa, "he winked at his husband, making the male’s blush grow.
“Dat mean babies.”Claire giggled happily as she watched them, thoroughly intrigued by the whole learning experience.
“That’s right, "Jensen smiled at her, removing the hand off his tummy to gently stroke her hair, "Here, want daddy to take a picture? "He asked her softly, to which she nodded excitedly and grabbed his hand to position them against the tank.
Jensen smiled wide as he held her against his side, then nearly teared up as he felt her little hand come to rest on his bump whilst quietly squealing “babies” for the photo without even being prompted too.
Jared had the same reaction and wiped his eyes before bending to hug her once he’d gotten the photo, "Babies love you princess. Just like Daddy and Papa, "he kissed her head, receiving one big one on the cheek back from her before standing up,”Alright one more of us all in front of the tank, then it’s time for lunch, "he smiled widely as he scooped the kids out and got everyone in position, using his height and long limbs to his advantage to take a family picture selfie smile, "Say seahorses! "He chuckled as jumbled up attempts followed, snapping the picture before kissing his husband’s cheeks in their silent message ‘I love you, and our babies.’

Today has been a good day…and Jensen was excited to see what his exuberant husband came up with for tomorrow and the other upcoming days here, but for right now he was enjoying this moment and somehow keeping his mind off his still unrevealed photoshoot pics, which his husband was going to be thoroughly thanked for the minute their children were conked out.

-later that evening, Jensen-
“Night babies,”He murmured as he finished tucking in his youngest two despite his back protesting the bent position before standing back up, idly rubbing his back as he tiptoed around the beds and out to the patio where his husband was waiting as they’d agreed to look at the photos out here in case of little eyes.
Leaning against the doorway for a second, the older of the two smirked at the sight before him. His sexy husband half arched forward making his backside push out in the slightest way that was oh so inviting as he looked downwards at his phone seemingly unaware of the sight he was. Good lord, Jensen would forever be in awe at how he got this lucky.
“Excuse me, I’m looking for my photographer. Can't seem to find him, and I just have to show him my gratitude for his amazing work,”Jensen spoke, cheekily announcing himself, winking when Jared turned his way with a smirk on his lips.
“Well well, we can’t have that,”He extended his hand playing into the greeting with ease,”I’m that photographer, and the pleasure was all mine.”he took Jensen’s hand, cheekily kissing his knuckles while locking their gazes together before lacing their fingers together, Jensen letting out a soft sound as he was pulled flush to his husband seconds after.
The older titled his chin upwards with a smirk of his own, bringing a hand up to slide down the open shirt his man wore,”Well my my, I am one lucky male.”he murmured softly as his eyes never left Jared’s, letting their noses gently bump together as he stretched to press their lips together.
Jared met him halfway with a soft sound of his own as his free hand kept his husband close by the small of his back, the other caressing the side of his baby bump. He barely held back a chuckle as he felt a kick hit his fingers,”gonna have to rock these babies to sleep ain’t I?”he murmured, Jensen letting out another soft sound while nipping at his husband’s lips.
“It would appear so,”He murmured as he dropped his hand, snaking it between to cup his husband fully, eliciting a surprised moan out of him followed by a squeeze to his hip.
“God baby… out here?” It was dark enough at this point, they were pretty certain there wasn’t a camera, and they could be quiet during intimacy clearly since none of the kids had ever been scarred from their sexual endeavors.
“Fuck it, why not? There’s a whole ass canopy sitting area right there. We can just close the canopy,”Jensen smirked, feeling a bit extra confident tonight thanks to today’s adventure.
His husband moaned practically in delight at his response while nodding,”say no more honey,”and then proceeded to pick him up, making Jensen quietly squeal and grip onto him,”babe, gonna break your back carryin …..”
“Shush.”His husband cut him off while gently laying him out on said canopy, Jensen blushing at the command whilst doing so. He bit his lip as he watched his husband undo the ties that held the canopy’s curtains up, slowly moving to palm himself as he was already feeling precum in his boxers.
(neither)
Once all the ties were undone and the canopy was closed, Jared then moved to blanket his husband’s body with his own, carefully slotting between his legs once he’d spread them and joining their lips together in a gentle yet passionate kiss, sliding his hands up Jensen’s body, under clothing and cupping his chest which earned him a quiet squeak and squirm,”Ugh don’t tease me.”the older of the two whined, making Jared hide a smirk in the darkness of the night.
“Not gonna tease you honey, never ever. Gonna make you feel good,”he promised as he pressed light kisses across his jawline heading downwards towards his neck, sucking a soft hickey while there.
Jensen let out soft tiny moans as he automatically angled his head for his husband,”mm but…but I’m supposed to be thanking you…”he breathed out as he brought a hand up, tangling it in his husband’s luscious hair and giving it the smallest tug, just the way he liked it.
A moan followed this, their lips reconnecting once more before the younger male spoke again,”You letting me please you, love on you, is all the thanks I need darling,”he murmured as he pulled back some to start removing clothing, deciding to just do pants just to be on the safe side of things. He also had a big sheet to cover as they had been sitting out here the other night with a breeze.
Jensen moaned softly at the cool air hitting his hardened length before tugging his husband back in with his legs, their lips clashing together once more,”then make love to me..”he murmured against Jared’s lips while his hands stroked down his strong shoulder blades.
Jared let out a hum, shifting to an angle where he wouldn’t risk hurting their growing children before positioning to slide in,”my pleasure my love,” they kissed on the first thrust, just taking their time with slow gentle movements and sweet kisses shared between the occasional moan of pleasure. They shared an orgasm high together and had almost given into sleep when Jensen sat up, looking at his husband playfully pouty,”you still didn’t show me my pictures,” he then squealed as he carefully hauled back down from Jared grabbing his waist, being silenced by a loving kiss,”Get my phone, you can see before we go in.”
(Jared)
The younger of the two propped himself up on his elbow as he watched his pregnant husband reach to get said object containing their paternity photos, biting the inside of his cheek some as he hoped Jensen was happy, as he himself was. Despite not being a professional, he thought the photos were absolutely beautiful.
His head snapped up when he heard a sniffle, a niggle of doubt immediately filling his head,”we can delet….”
“No, they… they’re perfect Jay.”his husband turned, hugging him tightly, pushing all doubts back out of his mind,”I love them,” Jensen murmured against his chest, pulling back to wipe his eyes some.
“You do? Honest?”
“Honest. You made me look so beautiful and I truly am so happy. Thank you love,”
Jared smiled as big as a loon, gently kissing him as he stroked his hands over his cheeks,”You’re welcome honey, and I love you. You will always be beautiful to me,”
His husband blushed,”I love you, right back at you.”he kissed him again before they both carefully got up and headed to bed.

Chapter Text

(Jared: roughly 7am)

“Daddy, daddies. Up..”Claire pouted as she shook both parents’ arms since that’s all she could reach without climbing onto the bed and wiggling in between them which she was half tempted to do as she wanted them up already.
She had seen her daddy’s planner thingy on the nightstand, and it showed a ball, so she knew it meant a game or something and after yesterday, she was excited for games.
The younger of the two men finally groaned as he lifted his head off his pillow enough to see his daughter’s form over his somehow still sleeping husband, "Clarie? Why are you awake? Come here princess,” he managed out as quietly as he could but where she could still hear and them not wake Jensen.
Claire immediately made her way around and crawled up once her daddy had turned -adjusting blankets quickly as little eyes- and sat in his lap,”Up..want to go play game…” she rubbed her eyes as she told him.
Jared just about laughed softly as he held her against his chest,” Oh princess you’re excited, aren’t you?”
His daughter nodded, "Yea, games fun.”she nuzzled him, "make papa happy too.”she looked at her sleeping father, reaching to touch his blanket covered tummy, "want papa happy. "She added softly as she looked back up at him.
Jared smiled, kissing her head as he idly ran his fingers through her long blonde curls as she was so sweet for her own good some days,”Awe baby, don’t worry papa is gonna be happy. I promise,”he soothed her as he too looked at his husband’s sleeping form, fully relaxed and at ease.
“Good,”Claire replied, kissing his cheek before wiggling to get down,”go potty,”she informed before going to do so, giving her younger father time to find his sleep shorts and quickly slide them back up before his girl came back.
He then gently started to rouse his husband, starting with kissing his forehead while letting his hands slip under the blankets to caress over the twins, his smile growing as he felt them start kicking at his hands.
“Hmm, no..”came his husband’s sleepy protest, the younger smiling as he pecked his lips in apology,”now they’re awake baby...”
“So is our oldest daughter. She is ready for another fun filled day, but I wanted to wake my beautiful husband properly.”Jared went to kiss his swollen bump, gently nosing at his navel which was the fullest part of it.
Jensen made a soft sound at this as the area was also super sensitive as his navel was popping slowly,”mm don’t rile me up, you know that drives us both crazy.”he mumbled as he finally opened his eyes to look down at him.
Giving mercy for now, Jared came back up to properly kiss him but kept his hands on the swell,”I do indeed my love, and I’ll take care of you later so you’re not sore. But up we go,”he held his hands out to help him since it wasn’t getting any easier on his husband’s back.

(Jensen)
“Mmm it’s 7:30, you are lucky I love you.” he rubbed his eyes with one hand, bringing the other down to stroke over kicking feet while watching his husband start getting the other kids up and grab clothing for the day.
“I love you too darling. Now do you wanna wear white or blue?”He held up two tank options, Jensen blushing at both since he knew they were a bit snug when they got wet,”Um blue, don’t feel like a free wet t-shirt contest today.” He got a soft look from his husband that silently read ‘you are beautiful, and mine’ which made him blush,”blue will also look better with my khaki cargos. "he added soothingly, adjusting his sleep pants before finally starting to get up, cradling his bump after he’d firmly planted his feet. He then came to peck his husband’s lips and take the clothes,”May I shower before we leave?”He was a bit sweat dried as well as dried sticky from last night and a shower would help fully wake him.
“Let me turn on a cartoon, I wanna join you.”his husband smirked, making Jensen playfully roll his eyes before slowly making his way to the bathroom.
(Jared)
After a nice and slow hand job/blow shower, Jared helped his husband in getting all the babies ready for breakfast before they’d be heading out for the afternoon.
“Daddy, what we doing?”Claire asked again for the third time as they still hadn’t been told.
Jared smiled at her,”You’ll find out in a bit princess, we’re gonna have breakfast first.”he soothed, earning a pout from her that was gently soothed away from Jensen pulling her to his side and kissing her little head,”Just be patience babygirl,”
Thomas then tugged his daddy’s leg,”me knoe too,”he pouted softly as he looked at his parent.
Jared chuckled,”Oh my goodness, all my babies getting pouty because they don’t know. Okay, daddy will tell you.”he turned and pulled out both his phone and the planner,”today is putt putt day!”he announced happily, watching as every child’s eyes as well as his husband’s light up,”Putt Putt? Ooh finally a game I can win,”Jensen laughed softly as he helped clean Thomas’ mouth after he’d finished his breakfast.
Jared smiled softly as he nodded,”I have been beaten by you before and I am quite alright with that,”he chuckled softly before helping his husband so they could avoid restless and fussy babies,”Okay, off we go babies.”he smiled wide.
(Jensen)
“Good job baby, good job!”Jensen cheered on Claire as she made an almost perfect putt,”Go on up there with daddy so bubba can go,”
He pointed to where Jared was waiting, he then helped Thomas go and then it would be his turn as they decided to let the children go between them.
“I did it papa!”his boy cheered before running to his daddy as well. Jensen then took his shot before joining them, idly rubbing his back as he was hurting just a little from the bent position, but he’d be alright once his husband rubbed him out later.
“Daddy’s turn gin!”Claire giggled as she clapped while holding onto the side of the stroller her daddy had been pushing.
Jensen smiled as he came up beside her and Thomas,”That’s right, say go daddy.”he smirked, sending his husband a wink while watching him position himself, lining up for his shot which was a lot more hotter than it should be given that their children were with them and it was a bit hot but not enough to where he was worried about sunburns just yet. He was just happy to be out and making memories with their children. It was the best part of today.
“I so won that, don’t use the children,”Jensen teased his husband once they were sitting down at their table post putt-putt game, well more like fifth game as the children had decided they wanted to course hop after finding out just how many were available down here. Each one more exciting than the next but Jensen was convinced the Pirate themed one had been the overall themed winner, next to the dinosaur inspired one they had just pulled up too.

“Papa! Wook! Rawr Rawrs!” Thomas squealed, very excited at seeing his favorite animal all over.
Jensen smiled at the toddler as he walked with his husband, who was pushing the stroller while Claire opted to walk on his other side holding onto it,”I see bubba, Dino’s all over huh. Look, you can hit into that one’s mouth.”he pointed out with a big smile even though he was a bit tired and was honestly ready to sit.
Thomas’s eyes widened as he looked at what his Papa had pointed out, absolutely enthralled at everything there was and beyond ready to play.

(Jared)
The male smiled as he watched his husband and toddler, able to see Tom’s excitement growing by the minute as he led them in, not surprised at seeing there was a gift shop available as well.
Once he paid for a few hours, the younger male led his crew out to the first tee and let his husband go first this time, sensing he was getting tired and him going first would give him a few moments to rest between holes.
“Thank you...” Jensen actually mouthed to him once he’d taken his shot before easing down on one of the many benches.
Jared smiled happily at being able to subtly help his husband before watching their children happily play putt-putt.

Soon, it came time to feed everyone, and they had decided on Captain Jack’s Sea Adventure, where after eating kiddos could get the chance to catch plastic fish for a prize out of a big treasure chest.
“Oh, shush you,”his husband stuck his tongue out at him playfully to which Jensen returned before looking over their menus as he was starving, "Everything looks so good,”he gushed as he couldn’t believe all the options there were to choose from to begin with.
“I know, and you can pick whatever you want babe.”Jared gave him a loving wink as he too was looking through his own menu.
Jensen hummed softly at this as he was half tempted to go with the lobster as the menu claimed they were caught fresh daily, but then he was also leaning towards the shark bites as that was something he had never had before,”Man, I really think I’m going to try those shark bites with the side of macaroni. I’ve never had it before and honestly, it has piqued my curiosity.”
Jared gave him a smile,”Um, those are fine for you being pregnant honey. Get them,”
Jensen smiled widely, nodding as the waiter arrived. Unnecessarily apologizing for their wait. The pregnant male politely waved off the apology before they began ordering.
About twenty minutes later, everyone was happily munching on their food while chatting excitedly about the day they’d had and then when their meal was over, each kid including Shep got their shot at playing fisherman. It was a good day, and Jensen couldn’t wait to see what the rest of the trip had in store for them, already feeling better than he had in a couple months. His husband and babies were amazing, and he wouldn’t change a thing.

Chapter Text

-Two weeks later, Jensen is 26 weeks along now, Thomas is 1 year and 11 months, Claire is 4 years and 11 months, Odette is now 1 year and 8 months old, and Baby Shep is 10 months old. It’s February and they’re home from vacation)

(Jensen)
‘Mm gotta get up, don’t wanna. It's my birthday, I’m an old man now. Can’t believe I still got a handsome husband and pregnant with twins at 40 years old’
The older male slowly rolled over, wiping his eyes to clear both them and his thoughts as they were racing away. Since getting back a week ago, Jensen had been more relaxed than he had in a minute, the trip having done wonders for both his mental and physical health. He thanked his husband for every inch of it and would cherish the memories that had been created during their adventure forever. One of his favorites especially being the secret photoshoot for sure in his top picks as some of the photos had been chosen to be blown up to be hung privately on their bedroom walls.
He then caught sight of his sleeping husband beside him, making himself smile as he also felt soft kicks from his unborn babies,”Good morning babies,”he murmurs softly to them with a loving stroke to his belly.
“Good mornin to you darling,”he glanced sideways with a soft smile as he hears his love’s greeting moments later, it only growing as his man moved to kiss his belly and then his lips,”and happy birthday, would you like your special present now or later?”the male murmured, making Jensen blush some.
“Mm I would say now my love, but first I need a pitstop as your son is enjoying my bladder as his soccer ball,”Jen replied his cheeks reddening even more,”and I’m going to need some help up sweetheart,”
“You got it baby,”his husband pecked his lips again before getting up and coming round their bedside to help him, Jensen thanking him softly as they made their way into their en suite bath,”Ugh I need to shave, I already look older.”he pouted as he rubbed over his stubbed cheeks before moving to do his business, thankful he had enough practice that he could still aim without really being able to see anymore.
“No you don’t baby, you look beautiful no matter what,”his husband chimed in from where he’d leaned in the doorway,”besides five o'clock shadow is sexy.”
Jensen blushed, shaking his head affectionately as he managed to shake himself off before washing his hands,”If you say so darling, thank you.”he replied softly as he turned, making his way over to hug him lovingly,”I just wanna relax with our babies on my birthday, I feel heavy and tired today.”he murmured against the man’s chest,”Maybe go to my favorite restaurant for supper tonight, but even though it’s my fortieth I kinda wanna be lazy. Probably because I’m heavily pregnant too.”he hummed as he looked up into his man’s eyes stretching to kiss him, completely missing the look that crossed his husband’s face.

(Jared)

‘Well he’s going to be in for one major surprise then…I already have guests coming and a surprise party planned as I wanted everything to be special for his big milestone birthday’

Jared bit the inside of his cheek after he’d accepted his husband’s soft kiss, gently holding him as close as his baby bump allowed, idly stroking over the growing area as he held his husband,”mm well I’ll do my best baby. As long as you’re happy on your special day then I'll be happy. I know you probably thought you wouldn’t be turning 40 and pregnant,”he smirked softly as he started kissing down his jaw, earning sound purrs from Jensen.

“No, I most certainly didn’t but despite being uncomfortable, I’m happy, love our babies and wouldn’t change a thing. Meeting you was a dream come true.”his husband murmured as he pushed against him as much as he could.
Jared smiled as he idly rubbed down his back, gently kneading his lower more as he knew the male was getting uncomfortable from the babies’ growing weight. He helped as much as he could but he knew sometimes Jensen was just plain uncomfortable which he understood as he’d been that way towards the end with Shep thanks to how big their son had been. Here poor Jensen though, still had at least two more months to go in order for the twins to be considered ‘full term’ for birth.

A knock then sounded on their door followed by their daughter’s voice,”Daddies? Up?” Jared smiled softly at this, kissing Jensen’s forehead,”time for our babies to wish you happy birthday honey,”he hummed with a smile.

“Can’t wait.”his husband smiled before they made their way over to open their door, immediately getting bombarded with hugs and kisses from all their babies minus Shep as he was still in the crib.

(Neither male specified)

Once everyone had given his pregnant husband more hugs than he’d ever thought was possible, the two fathers collected little Shep from his bed prison and then made their way downstairs, more slower for his husband’s part but no biggie.

“Alrighty mister, you are to sit with the toddler and enjoy your morning tea while me and the troop make you a flamboyant birthday breakfast,”The younger male announced playfully as he guided his husband to their dining table, promptly planting Shep on said table in front of him.

Jensen couldn’t help but laugh at the silliness,”Aye aye Sarge,”he put his hands on Shep’s little waist to steady him,”Toddler secured Sir,”he winked cheekily, earning both a smirk from his husband and a roar of giggles from the children.

“Then let the meal begin!”Jared laughed as he began grabbing out the items he needed, instructing the “older” kids to get baking bowls and utensils while Dot was put on watching Papa’s tea and holding his spoon at the ready.
The kitchen soon was filled with nothing but a rambunctious bundle of children giggling and Jensen’s tea nearly being spilt, but soon Jared’s famous apple crisp waffles were brought to the table, hot and steaming and with room temperature butter at the ready..
It actually made Jensen tear up a little -damn hormones he mentally blamed- at the incredibly sweet gesture of his husband as he knew it took a little more prep then just regular old waffles.
“Thank you love…”he manages to get ahold of his wrist before he gets too far away, lightly tugging him down for a soft kiss of affection and thanks.
Jared returned it with a soft hum and loving smile,”no thanks needed baby, it’s your birthday and I know there you’re favorite.”he gently caresses his belly before carefully taking Shep so he could go to the high chair and be fed without a fuss,”now, dig in my beautiful family.”he smiled widely.

No one needed to be told twice and soon each child was happily full and slightly sticky, but in the Padalecki-Ackles house, a little stickiness never hurt nobody.

(Jensen, a few hours later)

After breakfast and cleanup, Jensen had fully taken advantage of his want to just relax for his birthday and currently was in the living room with Dot and Shep curled into his side in the recliner just watching a movie while Claire and Thomas played quietly on the floor in front of them.

Every now and again, one of the twins would kick and Jensen would idly rub over them until he’d simply rested his hand there, and been stroking with his thumb back and forth in a soothing motion, humming quietly as well. He still currently had no idea that his evening of birthday relaxation was about to change.

(Jared)

“I can’t just hide in here from him forever. If he wasn’t pregnant, I wouldn’t be able to keep him sitting for as long as I have been able too Alex,..”the younger male paced in the kitchen where he’d unintentionally retreated to call their sister in law after ushering everyone out of the kitchen under the rouse of Jensen was not cleaning today which thankfully his husband hadn’t objected too.

“I..I know that. He’d get suspicious and we don’t need that, not only because of the twins but in general.”she replied as Jared rubbed the bridge of his nose,”I..I do still have all the decorations and the cupcakes. Josh is also picking up the edible arrangement you ordered.”she added softly.
Jared managed to not groan, not so much because he was frustrated but because now he was starting to second guess things and a part of him didn’t want to ambush his husband…

“Give me like an hour if possible okay…just so I can figure things out…I don’t wanna ambush him because he’s pregnant after all..”he finally sighed quietly as he braced his elbows on the countertop.

“Okay, you know I gotchu. Talk to you in a bit,”Alex replied softly before hanging up.

“What did you do?”His head snapped up at hearing his husband, lips parted a bit in surprise as he hadn’t even heard him walk up, which given how far along he was, he should’ve.

“I…what do you mean honey?”he asked softly, a shy smile on his lips as he pushed back up.

“You said you were figuring something out. What did you do?”Jensen asked again, his voice soft but still clearly curious and concerned.

Jared bit his cheek as he came over and gently slid an arm around him,”well…”he started, receiving a raised eyebrow from his husband,”so you know how you said you wanted a chill birthday?”

“Yes?”

“Well…I didn’t think about that and I kinda ordered cupcakes and an edible arrangement you were wanting and Josh is gonna be on his way..and I’m sorry. I can cancel..I..know you wanna chill because of the twins but.., I just..it’s a big birthday for you and you deserve to be…”lips on his momentarily shut down his ramblings, and he looked down to Jensen moments later, cheeks red as could be.

“You did all that for me?”Jensen asked him softly, staring back at Jared with soft eyes.

Jared nodded softly as he caresses his hips,”I do anything for you…I love you…more than anything..”he brought one hand up to cup his cheek, smiling wider when his man leaned into it.

“Have I mentioned you’re literally perfect and I love you so much?”

“Yes and yes, but I’ll never get tired of hearing it.”Jared replied softly as he bent just enough to peck his lips again.

“Good, you better not cause I ain’t never gonna stop saying it. Only speaking the truth,”Jensen replied softly with a smile as he pressed as close as he could.

“So..you’ll also be okay with guests?”Jared added after a few moments of silence. Jensen just groaned playfully and tugged Jared down for some more kisses, nearly having a full blown make out session until one of the babies interrupted with a kick to the bladder that sent Jensen jogging to the downstairs bath.
Jared watched him go before texting Alex that everything would still be a ‘go’, just now less of a surprise.

(Neither)
Before Jensen knew it, they had guests arriving and his house was filling with their respective families, Jensen’s mother and sister being one of the first to arrive.
“Oh my son, can’t believe how far you’ve come.”she gushed over him for a few moments, gently cupping his face as she had tears in her own.
“Oh momma,”Jensen endured as he hugged her,”gonna make me cry on my birthday,”he chuckled wetly as he held onto her.
“I can’t help it, I’m proud of my boy.”Donna soothed as she wiped her eyes once she’d pulled back some,”and so would your father, I’m so sorry he couldn’t be here,”his father unfortunately had to work and couldn’t show, but he sent his love.
Jensen smiled as he understood,”it’s okay, this was a surprise after all.”he playfully glared at his husband as the male passed with their hoard of children in tow, receiving a soft wink that made the birthday boy shake his head.
Jared then came up beside them,”it indeed was a surprise and I am glad we are all here. I have food in the kitchen and then we can do cake before presents and mingling as he originally wanted just a quiet night in,”he kissed his husband’s cheek lovingly while sliding an arm around him, caressing the side of his bump happily. He was practically beaming, and it was infectious.
Jensen smiled as he relaxed into his husband’s side,”mm that sounds wonderful love, just excuse me for a moment.”he kissed his mother’s cheek and his husband’s lips before heading to their downstairs bathroom to relieve himself.
Once he’d came back, he found his husband and unintentionally clung to him for the duration of the evening as he had originally just wanted to do that anyways so Jared happily obliged, even ending the night off with an all over naked massage and their children actually going home to spend the night with their mamaw.
“So, now that our children are gone, would my birthday man like his special present?”Jared purred, his hands trailing expertly down his husband’s calf muscles.
The older of the two let out a soft content moan at this, currently a pile of goo under his husband’s magic hands,”mm whatever ever are you talking about my love?”he innocently played.
Lips on his seconds later had him humming,”mm oh..oh..this present, mm but baby you’ve already given me so many great presents.”he purred softly as he wound his arms around his neck automatically.
“I did, but I will always love on my man.”Jared purred as he carefully blanketed his body, being mindful of the babies between them,”and I promised you this morning I had a special present planned,”he reminded softly in between pecking his lips.
Any words of playful protest were swallowed as Jensen melted against his husband, letting the younger male do as he pleased to him…”I love you…”he breathlessly whispered, holding onto the younger male’s shoulders as he bottomed out inside him.
“I love you more,”he promised as he then started thrusting, easily rocking his babies and his birthday boy to sleep.
It ended up being one of the best birthday’s Jensen’s ever had.

Chapter Text

-A month later, Jensen is 30 weeks along now, Thomas will be turning 2, Claire will be turning 5, Odette is now 1 year and 9 months old, and Baby Shep is 11 months old. It’s March now. Also didn’t realize it was the kids birthday again…but this chapter is going to be a bit intense regardless-
(Jensen)
“I’m heading in to sign checks and look over inventory love, I’ll be right back.”Jensen called as he grabbed his keys.
It was time for his annual visit to the garage to sign the checks and make sure all the inventory for the month had been entered into the computer correctly. Since getting pregnant with the twins, and being considered high risk after the 4th month, he had become more the desk jockey -but despite hating it, it was that or not working at all- for the garage until after he had the twins. So each month he went in for a few hours to oversee everything as he was his boss’s second in command and then they were good until the next. He also knew it was the kids birthday coming up in a few weeks and he wanted to be prepared to be home with them resting before these babies tried making an early arrival on him.
Now usually his husband took him and then they’d go to lunch afterwards, but today unfortunately had to be different as they had no babysitter and toting all the kids out for just a short time was not worth the hassle.
“Bye my love, please be careful…”Jared had called lovingly as he was finishing up their lunch.
Jensen knew how much this uneased his husband as he was 30 weeks pregnant and having to drive himself….
He waved before walking out, taking his time since his balance wasn’t what it used to be and then carefully got into the truck as it was the only vehicle he was still able to fit in with his baby bump,”alright babies, be nice to Papa while he’s driving. No surprises.”he soothed, before starting the truck and easing out of their driveway.
(Jared)
‘Please be okay..don’t let anything happen..’
Jared sighed quietly as he wiped off the counters and then threw the rag down, bracing his hands against them as he forced his mind to not race…he didn’t know why but the minute he’d realized what day it was, his anxiety had been practically heightened and only gone up since the moment Jensen had walked out the door…
His husband was almost considered full term with their twins and shouldn’t even be going out alone in the first place, but Jared had remembered his promise to not make Jensen feel like an invalid as the male had never done so to him. They also had been in agreement that dragging all the kids out would’ve made a short trip thrice as long and therefore wasn’t necessary. Plus it was just to the garage and back…not like Jensen was planning on going on some outrageous adventure… So then why did he feel so damn anxious? Maybe because they say to trust your gut after all, and right now Jared’s was telling him he never should’ve let his husband out the door..
Shaking his head with a soft sigh as he couldn’t change that now since Jensen had already left, he did the only thing he could: wait for him to come back and finish cleaning up. Once that was done, he shifted his focus to taking care of his children….all the while his nerves were still niggling at him.
(Neither male)
*I’m leaving the garage now baby, I’ll be home soon. I’m going to take my time because of the storm..*
It was the last text from his husband in almost thirty minutes and Jared had been alternating between staring at it and looking at the weather report that was updating every few minutes with road closing and flood warnings..
Jared’s anxiety hadn’t all been for nothing as shortly after Jensen had left, it had started heavily pouring outside and local roads were flooding faster than road crews could announce.. Currently, the younger male was pacing their living room and nervously gnawing at his cuticles. Jensen still was not home and despite the text, Jared was a nervous wreck…all he could do was pray that Jensen would walk through their door very soon…that was what he kept telling himself to keep calm. Thankfully though, their babies were sleeping peacefully through the storm because Jared himself was unsure he’d be able to console them on top of needing it himself…
Jensen on the other hand had just managed to make it into the truck, thankful for having the foresight of parking in the garage so he hadn’t gotten soaked but also wishing the rain would let up until he was safely back at the house…
This storm had come out of nowhere, according to the local radio newscaster he was listening to as he took a few extra moments to prepare himself. Making sure the windows were defogged and all his surroundings were as clear as they could be…he didn’t want any surprises right now….and so far the roads between the garage and the house were still open…
“Okay…you guys did so good on the ride here…”both babies were currently kicking right now, thanks to his own nerves towards the nasty weather,”papa is here..he’s gonna keep you safe…don’t worry…everything is gonna be okay…”he soothed as he rubbed over his large bump…he wished like hell his husband was here beside him and that his words weren’t for nothing but right now he had to focus on getting himself and their babies home safely…
(Jensen)
*Breathe…breathe, you’re almost home…just two more turns and you’re there..* He thought to himself, hands gripping the steering wheel tightly and eyes glued to the roads. Unfortunately he also was sweating to death because of having to run his defroster but at this moment that was a small price to pay for getting his ass the hell home…
“Ssssccrrreeeccchhhh”.
Jensen’s truck went straight down into an overbank ditch seconds later as a car had come barreling down from the opposite side street and right into the trail end of the truck ... .the last thing he remembered was being drilled in the ribs and a loud horn before he’d briefly lost consciousness…..
(Jared)
Jared just about walked a hole in the middle of their living room floor when his phone ringing startled him out of his racing thoughts.
“Hey, where are….”
“Mercy County calling for Jared Ackles?”a female’s voice came across the line, and Jared’s heart dropped out of his chest.
“Hello?”
Jared swallowed hard, stuttering a little as he fought to find his words,”I..I, yes this is he..”he swallowed hard again, managing to finally make a sentence.
“This ICU nurse Ida from Mercy County, we’re calling to inform you your husband was brought in to emergency after an accident out on Randolph Road. We need you to get here as safely, but quickly as you can.” Jared’s heart was pounding so fast that everything sounded muffled but he nodded,”I..okay..I’m on my way..”he managed out, hanging up the phone with now trembling hands.
*Car accident? Jensen…his pregnant husband…had been in a car accident???* his mind was racing.
Jared wanted to pass out from the overwhelming shock he was now experiencing…but he couldn’t do that. Fumbling, he quickly started making phone calls so someone could watch his children and he could get to his husband.
(Jensen)
*ugh my head…fuck my back.. my..my..the babies…*
“Babies!!”he exclaimed, pushing up and then hissing in pain…
“Hey hey..easy..easy you’re okay.,”
He looked over as he heard an unfamiliar voice, seeing a nurse standing beside an iv pole which he quickly realized was attached to him.
“I..my babies…”
“They’re okay…”the tone of her voice was not helping his anxiety,” your blood pressure is extremely high and they were in distress when you arrived, but we’ve got you on a round of fluids and they’re being monitored,”she gestured to his tummy, finally making him look down.. He had one of them big bands around his bump, following the cord all the way to the iv pole and seeing two separate lines..he assumed one was his and one was the babies..which eased him a little..
“I..what happened?”he asked, throat rough and dry..
“Car accident..you were tail ended and went head down into the bank on Randolph…”
*Fucking Randolph? I was almost home…* he angrily thought, bringing a shaky hand up to his belly…that’s when he noticed something was different..he felt different…
“Where’s my husband…?”he asked, knowing Jared was probably a wreck.
“Oh my god….”His head whipped to the door where said husband now stood…and god the sight made Jensen’s heart break. His husband indeed looked like a wreck…and Jensen just wanted to get out of this bed and assure him he was okay…
(Neither man)
“So..you’re being monitored because when you arrived you were in labor…we got it stopped for now, but with the amount of shock you endured, we don’t know if it will start again…plus there’s the fact you’re high risk with multiples and over the age of 32..”the nurse announced as she finished her checks and stood in front of his bed, looking at both of them sincerely. She knew how scary this all was to them.
“So we just have to wait and see if I’m going to have these babies today?”he exclaimed, wanting an actual answer and not just guesstimates here..
“I’m so sorry mister Ackles, I’ll be back the minute I have your lab results…”she assured before leaving them alone. The older of two then bit his lip, it trembling as tears welled in his eyes. The amount of uncertainty not helping calm him down at all and being upset was the last thing he needed.
“Baby…”
“Don’t…”Jensen managed out wetly, not being mean but.. he just needed a minute,”please..I just need a moment.”he sniffled as he grabbed hold of his husband’s hand tightly, not letting go.
The younger male bit his lip, then gently kissed Jensen’s temple as the nurse had allowed him to crawl into the bed with him. He knew he was scared…so was he but he was here for him. No matter what, they both knew that.
(Jared)
He had been by Jensen’s side now for almost an hour, just holding him and stroking over the area of his belly that the band didn’t quite cover. So far the nurse had been back but sadly nothing had changed…Jensen’s blood pressure was still too high for him to be released and unfortunately his husband had also started having contractions…mild ones but still consistent enough to have the doctors concerned and have the OR on standby…it was his husband’s worse fear and there was nothing Jared could do to stop it…
“Ugh this is bullshit…”he looked to his husband as he’d gotten up to go to the bathroom and was about to climb back into the bed,”I..I don’t wanna be here…I..I wanted to be at home…I’m supposed to be at home.”he whimpered sadly, the sound and sight breaking Jared’s heart.
“I’m sorry baby…I’m so sorry,”He soothed as he gently wrapped his arms back around him, kissing his head and going back to rubbing his tummy, feeling it tighten under his hand while at that same time, Jensen gripped onto him with a soft gasp. He quickly clicked his phone to time the contraction like the nurse had asked of him, then continued to rub over his bump once more. He prayed everything would be okay…somehow..someway..
(Jensen)
-a few hours later-
Jensen was quietly pacing the small hallway outside his room as he was allowed up from the bed after they’d finally gotten his blood pressure down but unfortunately the contractions hadn’t eased at all… if anything they had gotten more intense and his nurse was supposed to be on her way back with an ultrasound machine so he could see his babies.
“You ready to sit yet?” came his husband’s gentle tone..Jared hadn’t left Jensen’s side since arriving, something he was so grateful for as he didn’t know what he would’ve done if he was going through this alone.
“No, but I know I should if I want any chance at having them naturally..” He replied quietly, letting his husband take his hands and slowly ease him back into the bed.
He still was trying to go natural…everyone had promised and damnit he didn’t want it broken if he had a say about it. His contractions were staying pretty steady, but according to the nurse his dilation hadn’t been as on track because of his high blood pressure. He hoped maybe now that it had gone down, that would change.
“Mr. Ackles?” It was his nurse once more, and Jensen prayed she had good news for once. He waved her in once situated on the bed and held his bump as much as he could.
“Let's see these babies shall we?”She asked softly, the older male would bet money she knew how nervous he was. A few moments later confirmed that as she had wasted no time in getting the monitor out of the way and his grown before pressing the wand against his large bump.
Jensen gripped onto his husband’s hand, not loosening until he heard two rapid heartbeats moments later,”There they are, curled together but both looking unharmed.”she gently pointed out with her finger,”your uterine wall however does concern me…see this right here?”he nodded shakily,”that is a hairline tear…which they can repaired quickly with surgery but that raises more risks…”she got a couple pictures of the twins before turning the machine off,”now, over time it would heal but unfortunately that means you’d be unable to carry anymore children…I’m sorry Mr. Ackles..”
Jensen went dead silent…a single tear streaming down his face.
(Jared)
‘unable to carry’ the both of them had always known Jensen’s pregnancy window was closing..Dr. Jones had even informed them..but they hadn’t been expecting this..
He’d thanked the nurse after she had finished his husband’s ultrasound and informed them that she’d be back to administer Pitocin as the babies were big enough to be born today, and that Jensen could go naturally.
Now he currently sat rubbing his husband’s back as the male had turned to his side and still not made a sound other than the occasional whimper of pain from a contraction. It broke Jared’s heart and he wished he could’ve done more for his husband but he knew everything happened for a reason and they’d get through this together….
“I want the bastard that hit me found..” the younger male looked up when he heard the wrecked voice crack from his husband,”Promise me..”
Jared sniffled as he carefully curled around his husband, kissing the back of his neck as he held him close,”I promise, you know I do.”he murmured quietly as he didn’t let him go for a second. He’d do everything he could to fulfill his husband’s wishes. Right after he got them all out of this hospital bed and safely home again.
(neither)
“Push Jensen, push, deep breathes.” The dr coached a few hours later when the older of two had finally hit ten centimeters and was crowning.
Jensen let out a deep groan, gripping onto his husband and bearing down, feeling shoulders and then finally a soft pop as the first baby was born. Wailing their head off loudly at the expulsion from their home.
“It’s a boy!”someone announced, briefly showing Jensen before the infant was whisked off to be checked and placed in the NICU.
The older of the two barely had any reprieve before he felt the burning sensation and urge to push once more, yelling in pain as he did so.
“Good, good, you’re doing wonderful.” Jared was encouraging as he had been able to be behind his husband, kissing his sweaty temple as he pushed again.
Their daughter practically slid out into the awaiting nurse’s hands minutes later as she was smaller than her brother, but still decent sized.
“They’re here, god baby they’re here..”Jared sniffled as he easily caught his husband when he slumped down against him, tears sliding down both of their cheeks..
Jensen was panting and absolutely wrecked, managing a tired yet very pale smile before he saw dots…and then nothing.

(Jensen)
-three hours later-
‘Ow…ugh something hurts…everything hurts…shit…what the hell happened?? Gotta wake up…’ he blinked his eyes, immediately shutting them back once more.
‘Hell no, too bright..way too bright..hmm Jay turn the lights down…’
“Ja…Jayy..Baby,”he barely managed out, his voice rough and dry, but felt a hand on his moments later.
“Oh god Jen..fuck baby..thought I lost you…”his husband was sobbing…goddamn lights or else he would’ve opened his eyes already.
“L..ligttss.”he managed, butchering the word all to hell but hoping to still be understood.
Thankfully, Jared understood his gibberish as the sound of his husband stumbling to the switch was heard, and then he blinked again..finally opening his eyes and locking them with his husbands.
“Hey Baby…”he managed out, reaching for his husband who looked devastated,”c’mere..”he soothed, before easily catching his husband that had barreled to him as gently as his big self could manage.
“So…so much blood…so pale…you..” Jensen's heart ached as he started putting things together.
“I’m here..i’m so sorry baby..”he managed out..feeling Jared shake his head against him, mumbling that it wasn’t his fault and he was just so scared…Jensen was just lucky to be able to hold his husband and soon his babies again..
(Neither-narrative)
After having the babies, Jensen’s hairline tear had unsurprisingly ruptured and caused him to lose consciousness. The doctors managed to get the bleeding to stop but they’d had to do more intensive surgery.
Jensen could no longer conceive or carry…his uterus and tubes were gone.. The good news though, despite being born a month early for multiples, the twins were perfectly healthy and already thriving in the NICU.
Little Braxton Zeppelin and Justice Rhodes were born at six lbs., twenty inches long and both ten ounces.. Justice had only needed a little help from the breathing tube but now was perfectly fine.
“Knock knock, I have a surprise,” the same nurse from earlier announced as she came in pushing a cart, the older male pushing up some and letting out a little gasp as he realized she had the twins.
“Congratulations on the Ackles twins..”she smiled as she helped each man get situated with a child in their arms.
Jared asked her to take a photo, and smiled widely once she did..
“I love you, so much..”
“I love you more…always will.”
