It doesn’t feel right not to return the favor.
I hope that I don’t have to have the baby in the hospital. I want him or her to be born on pack property.
Damon’s phone rings on the table beside the bed, and he picks it up. “This is Damon.” I put my hand under my chin and watch him. That is something I will never tire of. “Really? That would be amazing.” He sits up in bed. “I will call you once she is in labor. Thank you.” He hangs up the phone and looks at me, excited. “One of the females in a local small pack is a baby doctor, and she has offered to deliver the baby for you at a local hospital.”
I let out a huge sigh of relief; that is amazing news. “Thank you, baby.” I kiss the closest thing to me: the side of his arm.
He lies back down and turns on the TV. I laugh when I see that it’sTwilight. He laughs right along with me and turns it to something else. I close my eyes and relax, listening to the TV and the sound of Damon breathing.
Three Hours Later
Damon
It’s hard to get her to lie down. She has a rough time sleeping at night, so I get her to rest throughout the day as much as possible. The only way I can ensure that she is resting is to lie down with her.
I push a strand of hair out of her face, pulling the blanket up higher on her shoulder. She is beautiful. She has changed before my eyes, and her carrying my baby is the sexiest thing I have ever seen. I never thought loving so much was possible, but I do. The love I feel for her is all-consuming, taking every single bit of my soul. And I can’t wait until my son or daughter is born into this world.
It fucking sickens me knowing Ken is still out there. I have tried to track him, and others have tried also, but he just disappears.
Farren suddenly sits up, holding her stomach. My eyes widen at the look on her face. “Baby?” She pulls the blanket back, and I see the bed is wet. Her water broke. I take out my phone and text the doctor that we are heading to the hospital.
“Well, that fucking hurt,” she grinds out, and I help her to the edge of the bed. I run into the closet and grab the diaper bag, her pillow and blanket, and a new pair of sweats. I pull the wet ones off of her and put the new ones on, while I try not to fucking panic.
Farren
He appears to be calm, but I can feel the anxiety through our mate bond. I touch his shoulder. “Everything will be fine.”
He nods and scoops me up off of the bed. He carries me down the stairs and outside to our vehicle. He yells loudly, “MAVERICK!” I laugh because that is the first time I have ever seen him panic. My brother comes out of his house and runs over.
“OUCH,” I say, holding my stomach and throwing my head back against the headrest as another contraction hits.
My door swings open, and I turn my head to see Damon staring at me. “You okay, Moon?” He presses his hand to my stomach.
I nod, but my teethed are gritted. My brother throws our stuff in the back seat and gets in. Well, I guess he is coming with us. Jackson and Brantley run into the garage. “Her water broke,” Damon says. “Jackson, keep an eye on everything.” He shuts my door and runs around the front of the Hummer, and I laugh. Maverick joins in with me. Damon is strictly alpha—he does not get fazed easily—but me being in labor has rattled him.
He gets in the Hummer and floors it. I cover my mouth trying not to laugh again; he is too cute. I peek back at Maverick. His head is pressed against the window; he is trying not to laugh too.
We get to the hospital around thirty minutes later. Damon parks in front of the emergency doors, lifts me out of the truck,and goes straight into the building. “Her water broke!” he yells, and I laugh at everyone’s reactions to how loud he is being. “Her doctor is supposed to be meeting us here.” The nurse comes over with a wheelchair, which Damon completely ignores.
A few minutes later we walk inside the room that has been prepared for us by the doctor. She is in another room, at the moment, with another mother. Damon gently lays me down on the bed, and a nurse starts an IV and puts on monitors and a million other things. Damon is standing by my bed, asking her what she is doing. “Why are you putting that in her? Why does she need that?” She explains and he nods but watches her very carefully. I wince only a bit. “Easy.” He growls at her slightly.
She glares at him, he glares right back, and when she leaves the room, he finally sits down beside me. “It will all be okay, baby.” I touch the side of his face. I am about to have a baby and I am comforting him.
There is a knock at the door. Damon stands up, and a very pretty woman walks into the room. She has long red hair that hangs down to her ass, and she is small and curvy. She smiles at both of us, and I breathe in deeply. She is wolf. “I hear that someone’s water broke?”
Just as she asks, I am hit with another contraction. I grip Damon’s hand while I wait for the contraction to ease. His hand runs through my hair, trying to keep me calm. He is sweet but it’s kind of annoying. I really don’t want to be touched when I am hurting.
The contraction eases, and she is standing by my side watching the monitors. “Now I’m going to examine you.” Damon helps her take my pants off, and she bends down and examines me. “Well, you are very nicely dilated…five centimeters already.”
There is another knock at the door, and my brother walks into the room carrying all of our stuff. He pushes the door closed with his foot, and his eyes go to the doctor. He breathes in deeply, and I watch in awe as she does the same thing. He drops all of our stuff as he goes down on his knees. I blink in shock, and he manages to push himself off the ground. “Mate,” he whispers; then he walks to her. Her hands are shaking, and she face plants onto his chest.
Tears are falling down my face; I am so happy for him. Damon kisses my forehead as we watch the moment between these two. “Congrats, brother.”
Maverick grins at me, full of joy, and she smiles at him like she is in complete awe. The moment you first meet your mate is something you will never forget. Ever.
I am glad that I got to witness the beginning of their relationship, She pulls away, wiping the tears off her face, smiling so beautifully. My brother watches her in complete awe; then my mind is off in a split second when I am hit with another contraction. I grit my teeth, my head tilted away from Damon. I don’t want him to see how much it hurts. We don’t get any medicine, but we heal more quickly, so it’s a win-win and lose-lose situation all around!
Damon kisses my temple. “I wish I could take the pain away from you, my Moon,” he whispers to me. I can feel through the bond that he is upset.
