Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 186

Chapter 186: The Decision

Levi's POV

The moment the doctor mentioned termination, something in my chest twisted.

None of us said a word. We just stood there, silent, emotionless. My eyes stayed fixed on Anita. She looked so weak on that bed, like she was barely holding on.

I didn't want to be here.

But I couldn't leave either.

Two nurses returned with equipment while a doctor wheeled over a small machine. One of the nurses gently pulled up Anita's dress and applied a clear gel over her stomach. It made a soft squelching sound as she rubbed it in with a gloved hand. Anita didn't move. She wasn't unconscious, but she looked too tired to even react.

"She's stable enough for the ultrasound now," the doctor said quietly. "We'll check the babies."

Babies.

The word made my chest tighten again.

These might be our babies.

Louis and Lennox stood silently beside me. We were all watching, but none of us said a word.

The nurse pressed the probe against her belly, and after a few seconds, black-and-white images flickered on the monitor.

"Come closer," the doctor said softly. "You'll want to see this."

At first, we hesitated as we exchanged glances with each other, none of us moving forward.

"Alphas? You don't want to come check?" the doctor asked again.

We looked at each other again before we stepped forward, slowly.

And then we saw them.

Two small shapes. Curled up. Still developing—but clearly there. Two tiny, flickering heartbeats on the screen, their lives pulsing with every second.

"Three," the doctor confirmed. "They're about three months along."

I felt my throat go dry. My hands clenched into fists at my sides.

"They don't look healthy, but they can survive," the doctor continued, eyes focused on the screen. "But one of them… this one here…" He pointed to the smaller figure. "This one's a little weaker. The heartbeat is slower. That's the one we're most concerned about."
