The twins snuggled into their mats, Sonny on one side and Darius on the other quickly falling asleep. Sonny just stared at his mate across his nephews smiling and almost a twinkle in his eyes.

Darius buried his face against the closest twins neck, taking in the soothing smell of milk and newness. He drifted off to sleep, cuddled close to those around him, almost like a child himself.
The Fae stirred from a deep sleep hours later, gasping for breath. He made a desperate kind of noise as he struggled against his own skin, feeling like it was on fire.

Sonny soon drifted off himself but soon was startled awake sensing something wrong with his mate. When he saw the pain his mate was in, he quickly made his way over to him and pulled Darius into his arms lightly shaking him and whispering his name. "Darius, Darius, are you alright?"

Darius squirmed, eyes flickering open to to stare at Sonny with a glazed look. He panted, face pale and skin far too hot. He shook his head at Sonny's question, not able to put any words together.

Sonny nodded and picked Darius up making his way down the hall to where he knew his Zercan Medic brother-in-law was staying with his sixth brother. He quickly kicked the door aside and walked in. "Please help me, I don't know what is wrong with him?"

Riley blinked at Sonny's sudden arrival but was quickly by the male's side to place a cool hand against Darius' forehead. The Fae keened softly, trying to find more of that touch as his body trembled.
"Gods." Riley swore, shaking his hand from the sudden heat. "Get him over here, quickly now." He motioned to the bed, moving for his Medi-bag.

Sonny nodded and placed Darius on the bed, worry written all over his face.

"He's Fae, correct?" Riley asked as he stripped Darius of his shirt so that he could take the teen's vitals. He pulled a cold compress from his bag, opened it and pressed it to Dariu's damp forehead. "What where you doing when he got like this?" Riley asked seriously as he listened to the thumping of the Fae's steady heart with a stethescope.

"We were in the nursery napping with the twins," Sonny answered.

Riley made a face. "The twins aren't sick." He clucked. "Anything else? Any strenuous activity? Running?" Darius seemed fine depsite the sudden fever. He wondered what had caused the attack. He needed to get the boy's fever down before anything else, yet he hesitated, since he didn't know why Darius was sick in the first place.

A slight tinge of pink covered Sonny's cheeks and he covered his mouth with his hand, muffling out, "Well, he is my mate." He wondered if sex could have caused such a thing. Maybe he had been too hard on his little mate.

Riley blinked slow once, twice, before the light bulb in his brain clicked on. "He's pregnant." He said in a matter of fact voice before digging in his bag again. He drew fourth a needle and filled it full of clear liquid from a glass bottle before injecting the now dozing Darius with it.
"Well, that should do it. Let him rest and the fever should come down now. It'll be back on and off for the next week or so until his body adjusts." He shook his head. "I always thought the Fae were too overly sensative to changes."

Sonny just nodded dumbly to his brother-in-law's words still hung up on the diagnoses. Pregnant?! Suddenly a smile spread across his face and he unconsiously puffed out his chest with pride at the thought of Darius carrying his children.
Carfully, as if not to disturb his mate's sleep, Sonny picked him up and made his way to their room laying him on the bed.

Riley just chuckled, shaking his head at Sonny as he cleaned up the mess left behind.
Darius moaned a little in his sleep but was looking better all the time as he turned sightly, snuggling into the pillows.

Sonny just watched his mate sleep, humming softly to himself, images of Darius holding his child like he'd held his nephew playing across his mind. He was almost the happiest man alive if only his mate could love him back.
