Tariq's birthday was in the middle of April, and the two couples decided to take a few days off to head to Spain. It was a lovely trip and the women enjoyed relaxing by the beach.

When the end June rolled around, it was Hannah's turn to celebrate her birthday. The blonde did not want any big celebration, but of course Mikayla ignored her and threw a large party for her anyway.

By the time the July weather hit, the two women were sporting very large bellies. Hannah and Mikayla enjoyed dressing up in various styles of maternity wear. The quartet was currently out shopping, looking at various baby items.

"I still can't believe that I'm having a boy and a girl," Mikayla said.

"I know right? Looks like this time I had the goat mouth," Hannah grinned.

"Indeed! Our children will grow up to be best friends, just like the four of us" Mikayla replied while showing the group a twin onesie set which they approved.

"God! Can you imagine if Hannah was having a girl? One of her is enough," Damien teased.

Turning to glare at him she retorted, "Yea? Well thank goodness that your babies only carry half of your DNA!"

Mikayla and Tariq gave each other knowing glances as they watched their partners bicker.

"Swear the two of you have given Tariq and myself enough practice," Mikayla commented as she playfully rolled her eyes.

Hannah frowned and stuck her tongue out at Damien before turning her attention back to Mikayla. Linking her arms into her best friend's they continued to walk through the various isles.

Damien and Tariq trailed behind, pushing the carts as the women picked up various items. They were both looking forward to becoming fathers and Hannah and Mikayla pretended not to notice when they tried to discreetly add items into their carts.

Since their children were going to be born about two months apart, the quartet felt like they could almost be triplets. As a result, they decided to give them names all ending in 'yn'.

Hannah and Tariq had decided on the name Zayn for their son, an Arabic name that they felt was suitable even in the western world. Similarly, Mikayla and Damien chose the names Kaelyn and Kamdyn for the twins.

The baby rooms had been decorated, the couples each helping the other in setting them up. Naturally, since it was the couples' first babies, they all went overboard.

Zayn was scheduled to born around the 3rd of August, and Hannah decided on a water birth. Meanwhile, Mikayla's twins were scheduled to be delivered via c-section two months after, as twins were usually never carried to full term. Dr. Knowles would be keeping an extra close eye on Mikayla as she entered into her third trimester.

As they passed an aisle filled with minis tuxedos and gowns, Mikayla could not help but squeal. Walking over to the outfits, her fingers gently traced the designs on the fabric.

"How cute are these?" Mikayla asked.

"Very," Hannah said as she picked up a tiny black tuxedo.

"Imagine if you decided to get married now, we could dress the children up in these. Too bad you already decided on waiting until the children are a bit older before you and Tariq tied the knot," Mikayla commented.

With a small smile on her face, Hannah replied, "Seeing these outfits are seriously making me reconsider.

"Yea? Would you like to get married next year instead?" Tariq excitedly asked as he interjected himself into their conversation.

"It's tempting, but no, I think waiting a few years seems like the best option. I mean there's no rush, right?" Hannah turned to him.

Running a hand through his hair he sighed, "Can't blame a guy for trying.

Moving to stand in front of him, she kissed him softly before saying, "I can't wait to marry you Tariq, I promise I won't run off. I just want to wait a while, like we decided, before all of this," she smiled as she gestured towards her protruding stomach.

Nodding, Tariq kissed her forehead before kneeling to kiss her stomach.

"You girls hungry?" Damien suddenly asked.

"Yes!" Hannah and Mikayla answered.

"Me too, let's go get some lunch," Damien said as they proceeded to pay for their items.

Later that night, a determined look of concentration appeared on Hannah's face as Tariq felt the velvet vice of her inner muscles clamp onto his manhood.

Her muscles quivered over his hardened length in delightful waves as she suddenly orgasmed. It took maybe a half dozen of those silky contractions before he followed her with a release of his own.

Even after his orgasm had subsided, Tariq continued to pound into Hannah from behind. She looked so sexy with her large pregnant belly and swollen breasts hanging beneath her. They both did not want the feeling to end as they rode the waves of ecstasy for as long as they could.

However, eventually Tariq had to stop, as Hannah had worn him out. Over these last few weeks, her sexual appetite had been voracious and he was doing his best to keep up with her. It was official, pregnant Hannah was an absolute sex crazed beast.

As they both laid on the bed looking up at the ceiling, Hannah's hand went to her clit, frantically fanning across the tortured bud, squeezing the last ounce of pleasure from her fading climax.

In the end, they both rested there, panting; their bodies gleaming with perspiration. Several minutes passed before either of them could speak. The need to breathe was currently more important than anything else. When they finally spoke, they said the same thing at the same time.

"Fuck! That was amazing!" they exclaimed in unison before laughing.

Smiling, Hannah took her hand in his, holding it loving. Tariq felt absolutely drained, his balls ached almost painfully.

"I feel like I'll be shooting dust soon at this rate," he chuckled softly.

Releasing his hand, she shifted herself to curl up at his side. Her hand moved to caress his chest, her fingers playing with the soft hair.

Giggling she teased, "Well it's not like I need the sperm right now, just the penis itself. Maybe a few more rounds should do it."

"Whoa! Remember what I told you last week? About one of us passing out?" I groaned softly,

Hannah snickered some more before pouting, "Okay fine, how about one more round then?"

"What did I get myself into?" Tariq whispered as he watched Hannah move to straddle him.

————— ▲ —————

Hannah's due date came and went, and it seemed like Zayn was not ready to meet his parents as of yet. At forty-two weeks pregnant, Hannah was over it, she felt so big and swollen.

"You would think that with all the sex we've been having that he would have made an appearance by now," Hannah joked as she had her latest check up with Dr. Knowles.

"That's just how these things go sometimes." the doctor replied before adding jokingly, "Perhaps little Zayn wants to wait on the twins."

In the end, Dr. Knowles recommended that they returned early the following day so that they could induce labour. So, by 8am the next morning, Hannah laid on the hospital bed, face red, skin glistening, as her contractions rolled through her.

The induction had been successful and Hannah was currently in labour. Much to everyone's surprise, she did not bite anyone's head off. Though, if looks could kill, there would definitely be a lot of dead bodies.

"Come on mama, you got this," Mikayla encouraged her as she held her hand.

Mikayla herself was just over seven and a half months' pregnant, her stomach was so big she looked ready to explode. Dr. Knowles told her that she should take things easy for the next coming weeks. However, with her best friend going into labour, there was no way Mikayla was going to sit this out.

Tariq stood on the other side of her, holding her other hand, while Damien was holding Tariq's free hand. The nurses thought that the quartet were an interesting group; they had never seen two couples more invested and supportive of each other.

Dr. Knowles was confident that Hannah's delivery would go smoothly, and when it was time to push, Tariq, Mikayla and Damien all screamed with her.

After about seven hours of labour, on August 15th at 3pm, Zayn Melik Maalouf was born.

Zayn was 8.3lbs and over 20.5 inches in length, he was a healthy baby boy with a full head of dark coloured hair. As Hannah held her son, she looked into his grey coloured eyes and instantly fell in love. His permanent eye colour would not come in for a few months and Hannah was interested to see whose eyes he would have, since he looked so much like Tariq already.

Mikayla and Damien stood back to give Hannah and Tariq some space. Hannah looked over at them and smiled as she nursed her son. She mouthed a 'thank you' to which Mikayla shook her head, telling her it was no problem and mouthed an 'I love you' in return.

"Holy shit!" Mikayla suddenly cried out a few minutes later as her water broke, surprising everyone in the room.

Dr. Knowles could not help but chuckle as he said, "Looks like the twins want to join the party."

Seeing as twins were usually born slightly earlier than single babies, Dr. Knowles had had things on standby for Mikayla as soon as she had entered her third trimester. Twins could generally be born between thirty-two weeks and thirty-seven weeks, so there was a high probability that Mikayla would have gone into early labour. Some nurses came in to talk to Dr. Knowles before Mikayla and Damien were slowly ushered out of the room.

"I need to be there!" Hannah exclaimed as she watched the door close.

"You need to rest for at least a few hours," a nurse tried to tell Hannah.

Turning to face the short woman, Hannah's eyes blazed, "I am not leaving my best friend, I will crawl to her room if I have to."

"Stitch me up quick doc!" Hannah ordered.

Tariq kissed his fiancée's temple while he looked at his son lovingly. He understood Hannah's need to be at Mikayla's side. Dr. Knowles could only laugh at Hannah's urgency. He informed her that it would be a few hours before Mikayla's c-section would take place, so she had more than enough time to bond with her baby as well as give her body some time to rest.

Upon hearing the doctor's instructions, Hannah relaxed a bit. She did not want to miss the birth of the twins. With a sigh, she kissed Tariq then went back to looking at her son.

A few hours later, Mikayla gave birth via c-section with Damien at her side. Hannah was also present, sitting in a wheel chair next to Mikayla's bed, Tariq standing behind her while again holding Damien's free hand.

Kamdyn was born first at 8:55pm at 5lbs and Kaelyn was born at 8:56pm at 4lbs.

Since the twins were born at thirty-three weeks, they were considered moderate to late preterm babies. As a result, they would need to spend a few weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Mikayla and Damien had been warned beforehand that this could be a possibility. Even though they had been mentally prepared, she still could not help but feel distraught. Dr. Knowles was confident that the twins would be alright and would only need a few weeks at best and he expressed this to the parents.

That assurance, coupled with Hannah and Tariq's support, allowed Mikayla and Damien to be able to get a hold of their emotions and calm down.

The next few weeks would be intense, but the couples would be there for each other.
