Chapter 6

 

About a month later, Hazel noticed she had missed her period.  She thought back to the sexual relationship she had suddenly been launched into with the two men.

 

While they had been careful about contraceptives most of the time, when she thought back to their first night together, she couldn’t remember a condom ever being used.  It had been such a spur of the moment event that no one had thought to use one. 

 

Still, this didn’t necessarily mean she was pregnant.  Not every case of unprotected sex caused a pregnancy. Nevertheless, Hazel wanted to make sure.

 

During her break, she went into the back room and grabbed one of the pregnancy tests they kept there.  With the kit stowed away in her pocket, she made her way into the bathroom. 

 

Luckily she didn’t run into any of the men as she locked herself in the small room. While she waited for the results her heart raced in her chest.  If she was indeed pregnant, what would that mean for their relationship?  Fear rose within her, making her nervous.  She nearly jumped out of her skin as she heard the telltale beep that sounded through the room.

 

Slowly, she walked over to the sink and looked down.  Her heart fluttered as she looked down at the little plus sign.  She was pregnant.  She felt herself fall into a numb state as she tried to think about how this would affect her.  All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door that made her jump.

 

“Hazel?  You in there?”  She contemplated not answering, but then felt her body move forward and unlock the door.  As the door opened up, it revealed Allen standing there with a concerned expression on his face.  “You okay?”  He asked quickly as his eyes examined her, trying to note any sign of illness on her face. 

 

Doing so, he noticed something in her hand.  As he leaned down to look at it more closely, he gasped when he realized it was a pregnancy test.  In a fit of nervous excitement he grabbed it, analyzing it quickly.

 

His eyes grew wide once he found out she was pregnant.  All of a sudden he grabbed her, hugging her tight. A moment later, Marshall showed up in the doorway, raising an eyebrow at the curious scene before him.

 

“What’s going on here?  If this is a bathroom quickie and I wasn’t invited, I’m going to be seriously offended.”  Marshall whined, stepping toward them.  As he did, Allen let go of the small girl and smiled in Marshall’s direction. 

 

“Hazel’s pregnant,” he said, a sense of pride in his voice as he announced the news.  Marshall stopped in his tracks, looking thunderstruck.  She was pregnant?  In that moment, he didn’t know whether he should be excited or scared.

 

He stood there, speechless for the first time in his life.  Hazel frowned, thinking he was mad.  “Aren’t you happy?”  Allen asked, looking at his partner.  His words seemed to snap him out of the trance he had found himself in. 

 

“I don’t know…”  He whispered.  His answer disappointed his partner.  Hazel, at the thought of rejection, made her way out of the bathroom, tears making their way to her eyes.

 

Allen glared at his partner, before storming out of the bathroom and following the nurse.  When he finally caught up with her she was already tending to patients.  Allen sighed, knowing she had slipped away from the situation for the time being.

 

Trying to compose himself, he got back to work, knowing that at the end of the day they would settle this matter with the undivided attention it deserved.  If Marshall didn’t want to continue with the relationship, then that was fine with him.

 

He would care for the child, even if it wasn’t his own. He smiled at the thought, going through the day with a relative calm, despite the news he had learned not too long ago. 

 

Marshall, on the other hand, began acting out of character.  For the rest of the day he was exceptionally quiet.  He rarely smiled and his demeanor seemed dark during his interactions with patients.

 

By the end of the day, he didn’t know what he was feeling or how he should react.  He knew Allen and Hazel would want an answer out of him, but right now there was a turmoil inside of him that he couldn’t quite sort out. 

 

“Marshall…”  Allen had snuck up behind him as he was gathering up his stuff to go home.  It was already dark outside as Hazel looked out the window nearby.  She had also remained mostly quiet through the rest of the day, but now she kept her ears locked on the conversation the men were about to have.

 

“What?”  Marshall snapped as he turned around, his dark eyes almost black in his darkened state.  Allen pulled back, a little intimated by his partner’s suddenly hostile mood.  “What do you want?”  He demanded when Allen said nothing.

 

“I want to know what you think of Hazel’s pregnancy,” he answered, looking at him firmly.  Marshall’s face seemed to darken even more.

 

“I’m not ready… I don’t know how to be a father or how to take care of a baby.”  He explained, a bit of humiliation creeping into his voice.  All of a sudden, before he could say anymore, Hazel appeared, grabbing his face in her delicate hands.

 

With that, she pulled him close and kissed his lips hard.  The kiss was passionate and sincere.  While she usually displayed more attention in Allen’s direction, she still loved Marshall and his playboy ways.

 

The kiss carried on for a moment longer, until Hazel finally broke away.  “I love you,” she whispered, before turning around and walking away.  Marshall stared at her as she left the building.  In that moment, he knew he wouldn’t be able to leave her. 

Chapter 7

 

All of a sudden, Marshall rushed out of the clinic.  Before Hazel could get in her car, he grabbed her and pushed her against the door, kissing her even harder than she did moments ago.

 

She was taken aback at this turn of events, but eventually she kissed back, wrapping her arms around his neck.  As the kiss continued, some of her fears started to melt away.  She knew that Marshall would stay with her, she could feel it in the passion of his kiss.

 

Their moment was interrupted by the sound of jingling car keys behind them.  Marshall broke away from the kiss and looked at his partner who was standing there with a grin on his face.  “Let’s go home.”

 

With that, the three of them got into Allen’s luxury car and drove home.  The moment they stepped through the front door, Marshall drove Hazel into the nearby wall. 

 

His hands roamed her petite body as he pressed his body to hers.  This continued for a minute before he grabbed her and pulled her into the living room.

 

There, he started to undress her eagerly.  Allen watched this as he felt his member harden in his pants.  He allowed his partner to take control for the moment, as he sat down on the loveseat and enjoyed the scene.

 

Soon enough Hazel and Marshall fell into the couch, kissing and groping one another.  Their clothes started to fly across the room.  Finally, Hazel was in nothing but her underwear.

 

Marshall grinned and reached down pulling it off her body.  He was about to have her when he remembered Allen.  He wanted her all to himself, but at the same time knew that would be unfair.

 

He looked at Allen for a moment, before grabbing Hazel and placing her in front of him.  She kneeled before the love seat, looking somewhat confused.  What was going on?  Marshall laid down on the ground and Hazel grinned, catching his drift. 

 

She got up for a moment, allowing him to lay down right in front of the love seat.  When he looked ready, she lowered herself down, until her already wet pussy was directly above his face.

 

She teased him slightly, keeping herself barely out of his reach for a moment.  Marshall, however, was quick to reach upward, grab her hips, and pull her down until she was sitting on his face. 

 

His finger reached out and started to pleasure her as this happened.  She moaned out heavily as she felt his tongue move up and down her already eager clit.

 

He continued to pleasure her as she looked forward and her eyes locked onto the pitched tent in Allen’s pants.  He grinned down at her before his fingers made their way through her silky black hair.

 

Without further prompting, she started to unbutton his pants.  Allen watched her with blazing eyes as his heart boomed with passion.  Delicately, Hazel reached into his boxers and pulled out his throbbing cock.

 

She grinned for a moment, before leaning forward and opening up her mouth for him.  Slowly, she guided him inside.  He grunted loudly as he felt her soft lips wrap around his member. 

 

She started to bob her head up and down on his member, making him moan out when her tongue skillfully licked the tip and base of his dick, making his moans even louder.  He reached down and grabbed her breasts, pinching her nipples between his fingers.

 

Meanwhile, Marshall continued to lap at the juices that were gathering between her thighs.  He was eager to please her as his tongue slithered inside of her.  She moaned into Allen’s dick, making it tremble slightly as it pressed against the back of her throat.

 

The three of them moaned out in pleasure.  Marshall, in his quest to make Hazel orgasm, started to rub himself.  His dick was at full attention as his hand moved up and down.  He was throbbing in pleasure as he thrust his tongue deeper inside of the girl.  Hazel, in turn, moaned loudly as she quickened her own pace.

 

Soon the sensation was too much for Hazel.  She screamed into Allen’s member as she exploded with pleasure, coating Marshall’s face with her juices.

 

He moaned himself and then quickly lapped her up, greedily licking up all that he could.  Doing so, his grip tightened, jerking himself off wildly in his lust.  All of a sudden he lost control and orgasmed hard onto his own stomach.

 

The only one left was Allen.  Hazel doubled her efforts, trying to please him as her fingers began playing with his balls.  He moaned and gripped the chair’s armrests.  He knew he was getting close, but still he held back. 

 

Hazel, however, was persistent as she continued her attack until she was deep-throating him.  The pleasure he was experiencing was too much to take.  He suddenly exploded deep inside of her throat.

 

She coughed and gagged a little, but eventually pulled her lips away from his member and looked at him, adoration in her eyes.  The three of them took a moment.

 

When Hazel had caught her breath she got off Marshall who got up with a grin on his face.  “I’m sorry about how I acted today…”  He blurted out suddenly.  She looked at him and hugged him gently.

 

She knew he had been scared, but she had already forgiven him.  Allen smiled down at them as he sat in his chair.  “Let’s get to bed.”  He offered.  Hazel and Marshall nodded their heads and together, all three of them cuddled up in Allen’s bed. 

 

“I can’t believe I’m going to be a mom…”  Hazel whispered to herself as she was sandwiched between the two men once again.  Marshall smiled and kissed her cheek, back to his direct attitude.

 

“I can’t believe I’m going to be a dad.”

 

“It could be mine you know.”  Allen chuckled, playing the devil’s advocate.  Marshal shot him a glare.

Chapter 8

 

About seven months later, Hazel was heavily pregnant.  The trio had closed the clinic for Hazel’s last two weeks of pregnancy.  Her due date was only a day away and she was excited to meet her babies.  About three months into her pregnancy, she had found out that she was expecting twins. 

 

“How are you feeling?”  Marshall asked as he walked into the living room and kissed the top of her head.  She smiled and tilted her head upwards so their lips could meet.  They kissed for a moment as Allen walked into the room, sitting down next to her.

 

Hazel smiled and leaned down against his chest.  She was amazed at her own ability to find a perfect harmony between the two men.  At some point, she had feared that she would give more attention to one and not the other, but now that she had moved in with them, it seemed natural to her to have two lovers.

 

They were like two parts of a whole for her and she loved having them both by her side.  “Good.”  She finally murmured into his chest.  He smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulders as Marshall sat down beside them.

 

He turned on the TV and looked for something to watch.  As he did, Hazel’s hands moved down to her stomach, slowly rubbing it as she thought about the babies she was about to meet. 

 

She gasped at the sensation of one of the babies kicking.  The men quickly looked at her, forever anxious as the due date closed in on them.  “What is it?” Marshall asked, concern in his eyes. Hazel grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach.  He smiled feeling the babies’ subtle movements.

 

“I’m excited,” he whispered against her stomach as he rubbed it tenderly.  Hazel smiled at his words.  To think that at the beginning of her pregnancy, he was nervous and hesitant about the whole thing.  Now he couldn’t wait to become a father. 

 

“We should head to bed,” Allen said, noting the time.  He didn’t want Hazel to exhaust herself.  As she nodded and tried to get up, she gasped once again.

 

Allen’s eyes grew large as he saw the wetness gather between her legs.  Marshall saw it too and froze for a moment. He quickly took her in his arms and comforted her while Allen was grabbing their bags.

 

About half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital.  There was a clear layer of sweat covering Hazel’s body as she tried to cope with the contractions she was now experiencing.

 

The doctors, seeing her state of labor, rushed to place her in a wheelchair.  They put her in a room where Marshall and Allen stood by her side, each one holding a respective hand. 

 

“You’re doing great,” Allen whispered, gently caressing her hair.  She nodded and took deep breaths in order to calm herself as the contractions became more and more frequent.

 

Marshall observed everything with careful eyes as excitement and nervousness swirled inside of him like a vortex.  His heart threatened to burst out of his chest.

 

He looked down at Hazel and they made eye contact.  They stared at each other for a moment.  He blushed slightly, before leaning down and kissing her gently.

 

Their kiss was broken by the sound of someone entering the room.  Allen released her hand as he stepped forward, reaching his hand out to the man that now entered the room.

 

“Hello, I am Dr. Andrew.  I will be delivering your baby today.”  He looked at Allen, assuming he was the father, but as he noticed the mother to be he was a little unsure.  There was another man standing beside her.  Could it be a brother maybe?  They didn’t look related, however.

 

“She’s having twins.”  Marshall corrected him.  The doctor raised an eyebrow, before looking at the clipboard he was handed by one of the nurses.  He inspected it for a moment before nodding his head.

 

“It seems you are right.  And you are?”  He asked, curious as to the man’s relationship with the woman. 

 

“I’m Marshall.”  He introduced himself, his palm sweaty.  The doctor just got more confused.  This man was showing much more fatherly symptoms than the other man.  Nonetheless, it wasn’t the time or place to worry about such things now.

 

He had babies to deliver.  With this, he started the standard procedure of setting things up. A couple of nurses entered the room and began buzzing around him, making sure everything was perfect.

 

Soon the room was filled with tense excitement as Hazel groaned with the efforts of childbirth.  She gripped her lovers’ hands tightly as she tried to cope with the associated pain.  Eventually, however, the room was filled with the sound of a baby crying.

 

“Baby A is a boy!” Announced the doctor.  The first baby was then taken by one of the nurses.  She moved him to the back corner of the room where she began to clean him up and assess him.  A few minutes later, another cry called out as the second twin breathed in for the first time.

 

Another nurse grabbed him.  “Congratulations! You have two healthy baby boys!”  The doctor finally exclaimed, removing his gloves.  Hazel smiled to herself, glad that this first step to parenthood was over.

 

She waited anxiously for the nurses to finish their duties with the newborns.  Finally, they walked over to her and placed one baby in each arm.  She looked down and gasped.

 

One baby looked up at her with dark eyes, just like Marshall’s and the other had lighter eyes just like Allen’s.  Could it be that she had conceived a child by both men?  Hazel knew it was a rare occurrence, but it was still possible.

 

“Would you look at that…” Allen whispered, noticing that the babies’ unique differences.  “Looks like we each got our own baby…” Marshall seemed rather shocked, but smiled, knowing that he would love both the boys as if they were both his own.
