Max chuckled softly "Probably..." She admitted. When he was finished she sighed contently... it felt so good she wished he was able to rub her back for her all night despite knowing it wasn't possible... she hated it even to take 5 while she put Charlie to bed. She smiled as she rolled over to her husband "That was amazing Sage... thank you." She said gently.

Sage smiled over at her and sort of snuggled up as best he could with her belly being so large. "It was my pleasure," he cooed happily, pressing a kiss to her forehead. They both drifted off soon enough, and the next two months or so we're pretty much spent making sure everything was ready for the twins once they arrived. Max was due any day now, so sage was pretty much sticking to her side like glue. (Went ahead and skipped to about when Max was gonna go into labor, just to speed things up a bit lol)

(Thats perfect I was about to do the same lol) Max was trying just about anything to have the boys come already but they of course were being quite stubborn... she now sat on her yoga ball that Charlie absolutely loved to play with in an effort to get things going. "Your boys are so stubborn..." she grumbled shooting a small glare at Sage, no she wasn't really angry with him she was just frustrated and the boys were quite adept at putting their feet in her ribs for sure. She gave a small groan as they shifted around. "Would you like my help now?" Roxie asked swinging the potion bottle she'd brought with her between her fingers. Max gave a small sigh "Mama are the boys here yet?" Charlie asked "Not yet kiddo." she chuckled ignoring Roxie completely she was determined to do this without any supernatural intervention "Aw..." Charlie muttered poking her mothers stomach "Come on little brothers!" she squeaked "I want to play!" she demanded "They'll come soon enough i'm sure..." though she sounded more hopeful then sure "Until then though you're gonna go hang out with Ollie and Riley with your auntie and uncle." she said giving her daughter a smile. "Aw..." she grumbled "I want to be here when they come though..." Max chuckled "They'll bring you home as soon as the boys are ready for you." she assured her daughter "Why don't you go with daddy and pack up some clothes and toys to take with you?" she suggested looking at Sage before she got up to walk around again.

(Haha perfect) Sage was perched on the couch by Max as she and Charlie interacted. He would have normally added to the conversation, but he was watching Max and really only paying attention to that. Though, he grunted and nodded when she mentioned him going with Charlie to pack her stuff up. He shrugged slightly at Roxie, humming "they got the stubborn from both of us," in a slightly teasing manner, referring to Max absolutely refusing to take any of Roxies potions. He went down with Charlie and got her all ready just in time for Hailey to stop by and pick her up. They said goodbye happily, and then sage went back to perch on the couch. He'd healed up somewhat, though he was definitely still sore enough he didn't want to get up and follow Max around....but he was still gonna keep an eye on her at all times.

After a few hours Roxie left telling them to let her know when she was needed before she poofed off. After a while Max found the walking useless so she just went and laid down seemingly resigned to the fact that these boys just didn't want to be born... who could blame them? it was safe and they had a buffet of whatever the hell they wanted whenever they wanted it. Another hour went by before she decided to hop into the shower asking Sage to join her so he could give her another massage... of course one thing led to another and the two of them were curled up together in their bed Max nuzzling Sage until she fell asleep... within a few hours of course she woke up with a sharp breath siezing her husbands hand and squeezing it "Oooookay" she yelped her voice shaky as she took some deep breaths hoping Sage would wake up because of how hard she gripped his hand.

Sage readily accepted the shower invitation...he would have joined her anyway, since he didn't want her going by herself, but the invitation made it...better he supposed. He was more than happy to give her another massage, of course, though he was thoroughly exhausted by the time they'd gotten back to the bed, and had passed out rather quickly. He woke with a groan when he felt Max grab his hand and practically crush it...he tried to ignore it for a moment before he woke up enough to realize that Max was attempting to calm down, which meant that the boys may very well be on their way. He jerked awake at the thought and peered over at her worriedly. "Should I call Roxie," he asked. He really had no idea what to do ....so having Roxie there to even know what was going on would probably be good.

"I think so!" she yelped as another wave of pain crashed over her "I think I slept through a lot of it!" she yelped with a whimper. It didn't take long for Roxie to arrive... for a demon Roxie made a pretty decent midwife... she'd also brought lavender tea to help Max calm down. Unlike last time things went rather smoothly as Roxie offered the first of the two boys to their father "Is he okay?" Max asked concern in her eyes as she tried to relax and wait for the second one. "Ten fingers and toes?" she asked.

Sage paled slightly and nodded when Max said that was probably a good idea. He called Roxie and made sure Max was alright, then sort of just...paced behind them as Roxie shooed him out of the way. He wished he could help more ...though all of that was forgotten when Roxie handed him the first little one. He stared down at the baby in his arms, rather in shock that he was finally here. And the other one was on the way. "He's perfect," he murmured in response to Max's question, going to kneel beside Max, though he could only see her or the child at one time until he shifted a certain way. Though, he grinned and held up the baby for her to see happily, so she could see he was alright. He worked on cleaning him off and swaddling him up so he was warm enough as max waited for the next one to come.

Max offered an exhausted smile "Good..." she said gently looking at him, unlike last time her eyes were brighter... she knew the baby was there in Sage's arms and she even reached out so he could grab her finger with his hand "He's beautiful..." she cooed happily quickly counting fingers and toes when he was held up to her, her smile was tired but very full of love and life along with her eyes that is until a wave of pain crossed her once more and she worked on bringing their second son into the world. After about an hour they were curled up in their bed withoth of their little boys in their arms, they'd already been fed and were now sleeping peacefully in their arms as Max rested her head on Sage's shoulder "So... what are their names going to be?" she asked softly tryng to stay awake.

Sage grinned over at Max when she looked up at them happily. "he absolutely is," he chirped happily. He was rather glad with how it had all gone....it was much easier on Max, and it was much quicker than before, even. Once everything had calmed down, and the boys had eaten and then quickly fallen asleep between them, he reached over them to wrap an arm around Max, as well as the little ones, before yawning and humming in thought. He was honestly fighting to stay awake, so his brain was sort of mush, but he did want to name them. "I don't know ... what names did we like again," he asked, trying to think of their list they'd had planned out but failing to do so.
