Chapter 33
Alpha POV
Tory gave birth to our daughter in record time. Jeb found it amusing that a doctor had no idea she was in labor. He said she was probably in labor all night and had no idea. She was very uncomfortable and very grumpy the night before she had Giselle.
Giselle Sierra, we named her after family. Tory wanted to call her CiCi. I could not see myself calling her CiCi, but that was what Tory wanted, so we called her CiCi. CiCi was a beautiful red-headed chunky baby. I have to admit I cried when she was born. I had never seen anything so beautiful. Tory was amazing. I did not think I could love her more than I already did, but after watching her give life to our precious CiCi, my heart was so full of love for them both.
Jeb let me take both of them home the very next day. Tee helped me and Tory take care of CiCi in every way. She made sure Tory got plenty of rest the first few days we were home. I know Tory was grateful. She was exhausted in the first few days but took to motherhood quickly. CiCi became her life.
I thought she would go into a complete panic when she went back to work when CiCi was four months old. The pack needed her back as a doctor. Jeb became very sick shortly after CiCi was born, but he held out as long as possible so that Tory could stay home with our baby. When CiCi was four months old, Jeb could not hold out any longer. He died shortly after Tory went back to work in his place.
Lucky for us, we had Tee. Tee took care of CiCi some, and so did I. Since I worked from home most of the time, I cared for CiCi while Tory worked, too. Some days she took CiCi with her. It was difficult for her, but she adjusted to the new life. Tory adjusted her life to serving the pack, me, and CiCi. Finding Tory and loving her has been the most incredible honor of my life. There will never be anyone else for me. Tory always told CiCi to find someone who would love her the way daddy loves mommy. CiCi listened to this. On her nineteenth birthday, CiCi met her mate.
Chip is a fantastic wolf from a good family. Tory loved him like a son. Tory thought he was perfect for CiCi. When he asked to marry CiCi, Tory was so happy. Tory got so much joy when she and Tee planned CiCi's wedding. It was one of the last, joyful moments of her life.
CiCi gave us a grandson two years after she married Chip. Shortly after baby Jeb was born is when Tory became sick. It crushed us as a family. Tory was a trooper. I gave her the best life possible every day we were together. I still love her to this day and will until the day I join her: always my love, my Tory, my Luna.
