SWNOVELS Chapter Thirty - Seven: The Beta's Princess
Thirty-Seven: The Beta's Princess
Kaleb
Our day started out normal. Well normal for us at this point. I was not excited that they were going into town, but I knew they wanted to shop for the babies. Apparently, pregnancy is contagious. Bryn just found out she was pregnant two days ago. We had just wrapped up the meeting when Dustin's face went white. I instantly started to get concerned.
“We need to go now. Mykayla is in labor and they just got her to the pack hospital.” Dustin says.
We practically ran out of the building and jumped into the car. I don't think I have ever seen Nate drive this fast in my life. When we get back, we head straight to the hospital. We ran into Tarlek in the front. We quietly walk up to her room just in case Mykalya is asleep. We get about six feet from the door when the growling starts, and it sounds serious. Who in the fuck is that, and why are they growling at us? Tarlek explains that it's Mykenzie and Kylani.
“Dude you can’t walk up quietly,” Tarlek says.
“Why are they growling at me? I am her mate.” Dustin replies.
When we open the door, both of them stand up and place themselves in front of Mykayla’s bed. Their nails are out, and I can see their canines. Of course, all I can think is how sexy Kylani looks, and I get turned on. I take a deep breath, now is not the time for this.
“You two can knock it off. It's just us.” Reecie says as he and Kaleb walk in.
Both of them start to calm down, and I walk over to Kylani and smack her ass. She gives me a growl, but I can tell it has no heat to it.
I didn't realize it was going to take this long to have a pup. Poor Mykayla's contractions were increasing, and she finally screamed at Dustin to get the doctor in here. She wanted the fucking epidural, her words exactly. She was much more pleasant after the epidural. She finally tells us to shower and change since we are still in suits.
When we get back to the room, I can tell something is wrong. I can smell the faint scent of blood, and it is not coming from Mykayla. I look at Dustin to confirm my suspicion. I hear Kylani scream out and pain, and I am out of that room. I have to find her. It's her blood, but what the fuck is going on? I find her in the room next door. As I slam open the door, I see the doctor give Kylani something to stop the pain. It must be strong because she is almost instantly asleep. I walk in and sit by her on the bed. I touch her face, and I hear Dustin come in behind me. He has to move out of the way because a nurse is pushing the ultrasound into the room. PLEASE DON'T LET HER BE LOSING MY PUP. I ask her mother. I close my eyes, and I hear in my head a voice. Ok, not that abnormal, considering I have a wolf and all. It's a female voice: CALM MY SON. SHE IS NOT LOSING YOUR PUP. TOUCH HER BELLY AND FEEL YOUR PUP MOVE. MY GRANDCHILD IS FINE. Grandchild, of fuck, it's the moon goddess, her mother talking to me. It does actually make me feel better. I place my hand on her belly and feel the pup move. The doctor asks me to move my hand. I watch as the doctor plops a large glob of gel onto her belly. It must be cold cause I see goosebumps form. Dustin is still standing right behind me. The doctor moves the probe around, and I watch as I see our pup moving around in there.
“The pup is fine. She is very active.” The doctor says.
“She's a girl?" I asked, barely making a sound.
“Yes, Beta it's a nice healthy baby girl. It looks like she must have had a growth spurt and along with all the activity, it must have torn the inside of her uterus just enough to cause the small amount of bleeding that Kylani did. Either this baby is growing faster than normal or Kylani is farther along than we think.” The doctor says
I sit there speechless because we are having a girl. I have a little princess. I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I turn to see Dustin smiling at me. We watch as the doctor moves the probe around more. I see her measure something and then smile.
“She is farther along than we thought. She is actually four months along. That explains why the pup is this big already.” The doctor says.
Four-month, how can that be? We have only been together for four months. Oh fuck, she got pregnant our very first time together. I had hoped for that, but shit, it actually happened. OF COURSE, IT HAPPENED THAT WAY; MY DAUGHTER IS THE OTHER HALF OF YOUR SOUL. YOU TWO WERE DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER. I hear the moon goddess tell me. I close my eyes; how did I get this fucking lucky? The doctor removes the probe and cleans off the gel. I place my hand on her bare stomach and am awarded a very strong kick. Dustin leaves to go back to Mykayla. I just sit there with my hand on her belly. All of a sudden feel a presence in the room. I turn and look, and her mother is standing in the room.
“Hello Kaleb, see I told you the pup was ok. I thought it was time we met.” She says to me.
“Hello.” Is all I can say.
I mean, what the fuck do you say to the moon goddess? I lower my head in respect, and she laughs. I felt her finger under my chin, and she left my head up to look at her. I look at her. She has long blonde hair with a hint of red and the same colour eyes as Chris. She is the same height and build as Kylani and Mykenzie. I can see her facial structure in all three of them. I feel like I have seen her before, but I can't remember where or when.
“Mykenzie and Kylani actually have the same color hair as me, just a tad darker blonde, they have decided to dye their hair. Chris got my eyes and their eye color came from their fae blood. I know you want to know more about your bond with my daughter. Demitri and Dominick were my original creations. When everything happened with me it was actually them that added everything to the stolen powers of the gods to help protect these three. There is one difference between my three children. Chris lacks one part he has no fae blood in him. It was actually Dominick that had me tear one of his future kins souls in half for Kylani. We had no idea which one it would attach to until they were born. When they were born it was extremely clear that it had attached to Kylani. She has always wanted me to mate and bond her with one of my children, but I knew I would be unable because she already had another half of her soul out there waiting. Do not worry about this pup or future pups. She may have an occasional scare like this but the pups will always be safe. Like the doctor said wolves grow faster than humans, gods, and immortals so her body has to get used to the stretch. You are fated for each other. You actually look a lot like Dominick.” She explains.
I feel her touch my face, and when I look up, she is gone. I feel Kylani started to move. I still have my hand on her belly. She opens those gorgeous eyes of hers, and I smile at her. I move my hand from her belly to her face. She places one of her hands on her belly and starts to tear up.
“I remember pain and blood. I lost.” She starts to cry.
“Hey, the pup is fine, she is just sleeping. I guess she likes the touch of her dad.” I tell her
She looks at me, and I wipe the tears and smile at her. It takes her a minute to realize what I just said.
“The pup is a girl and she is ok?” She asks quietly.
“Yes, gorgeous it is a girl and everything is fine,” I tell her as I give her a kiss.
I explain what happened and let her know that she is farther along than what was originally thought. She is surprised and shocked.
“That first night we were together,” I told her.
She actually gets a pink tinge on her cheeks. I kiss her again, laughing at her response. Eli, my wolf, is strutting around and preening. He is gloating that we placed a pup in her so fast. I look at him and turn my attention to my goddess.
“Mom was here wasn't she?” Kylani asks.
“Yes, I guess she wanted to meet me,” I told her.
I don't tell her about the conversation between us. For some reason, I know that it was just between the moon goddess and me. The doctor came back in and took a look at Kylani. He tells her that she can go back to Mykayla's room and that no, she hasn't missed the birth. I help her up, and we walk back into the other room. Mykayla is up and looks relaxed for being in labour. I tell them about the ultrasound and that we are having a little girl. That gets the women cooing. My mother and Aunt Lani show up and are super excited. Mom is in heaven that she is going to have a granddaughter. I am beyond excited that I am getting a little princess. I secretly hoped that it would be a girl. I have my goddess, and now I have our princess. What more could I ask for?
