The Alpha Chose Me

I felt suffocated. Ever since we got back from the hospital, he hasn't left my side. If I needed to pee, he took me. I loved him dearly, but he was getting on my last nerve.

I wasn't dying, our baby was safe. The last thing I needed was overbearing comfort. We got home around 3am but instead of going back to bed I settled on the couch. I still had some cramping but not as bad as before and I was still bleeding.

“Baby you should try and sleep”. He spoke.

“I know. We both should”.

“Do you want me to carry you upstairs to bed?”.

“I can walk".

“Leah”.

“Fine”. I sighed.

I wasn't going to argue with him about it. He was looking after me, doing what he always did. I could handle the overbearing comfort for a few days. I think.

After I was settled in bed, I pulled the duvet up and around my neck. I wished he'd come to bed too but the sun was up, and he had to go meet with his dad first thing.

Something told me it was to do with Jessica, but I didn't ask and right now I didn't care. It didn't take long before my eyes grew heavy, and I was drifting off to sleep.

When I woke Jake was beside me light snores coming from him. I couldn't help but smile. Lifting my phone from the nightstand I sat up. I had only slept a few hours, but I felt rested

Stretching out my arms a yawn fell from my lips.

“How are you feeling baby?" He rolled over so he was facing me. “still sore?".

“The cramps have dulled but I think 'm still bleeding”.

“Do you want me to call the doctor?"

I shook my head. I don't think anything was wrong and we had already been to the hospital to get checked. Everything was fine. The bleeding was normal apparently.

“Are you hungry?". He asked.

“I want ribs with sticky barbecue sauce”.

A chuckle fell from his lips. “Anything else?”

“Jalapenos”.

“You don't eat jalapenos babe".

“I know". I chewed my bottom lip. “But I can't stop thinking about them”.

His arm snuck over my waist as he gently pulled me towards him. “And you're really, okay?".

“Ym okay". I smiled. “And I think you should invite your parents over for dinner”. It was long overdue, and we still had to break the news to them. Our family was extending.

2 were becoming 3.

“Tonight”.

“Yeah, tonight". I checked the time on my phone. “We could invite them over for six".

“Are you sure you're up for that?"

“We're ordering takeout, right?”. I grinned.

“I mean after what's happened. It kind of scared me Leah”.
