The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series)

Thirty-Six: Baby's Arrival

Mykayla

We were in town doing some last-minute shopping for the baby. As much as I love the feeling of my baby inside of me, I want this kid out. Between his hard kicks and the fact I needed to pee every five minutes, I was ready to hold him in my arms. I am now eight months along and hope it is over soon. We (Mykenzie, Kylani, Bryn, Jailynn, Danniylla, Alexis, Leah, Lani, and Lisa) are in our favourite store. I have everything I need, but I cannot help but buy anything cute I see. I know Dustin thinks I have lost my mind, but I don't care. Besides, I know he has bought our son all kinds of boy things. I found his secret stash of different sporting equipment and numerous beanies for the little one. I know Mykenzie and Kylani are still setting up their nurseries, and Bryn just found out she is pregnant. I thought Donte was going to faint when she told him. I think it's nice that we are going to have so many little ones at once. It will be nice if they can all grow up together. I looked over to see Kylani looking at baby furniture. I had to smile. She was rubbing her small bump. I think she is having a girl. Mykenzie, on the other hand, her bump was larger, so I think she is having a boy. I know they are going to find out at their next ultrasound appointment. We have just left the store and are on our way to the car. I feel a mild tinge of pain in my lower back, but I have had some mild pain for a couple of weeks now. I am sitting in the passenger's seat when I feel sudden wetness underneath me. A sudden sharp pain surges through my belly. Only Lani, Kylani, Jailynn, Alexis, and I are in the car. Jailynn is driving, and she looks over at me. I think she figures out what is happening. Another contraction rips through my belly, and I cry out.

“Shit I guess little man wants to make his grand entrance,” Alexis says.

Jailynn steps on the gas, and we make it back to the pack hospital in 15 minutes. I get out of the car and walk into the hospital as a monstrous contraction surges through me, bringing me to my knees. Kylani helps me up, and she and Mykenzie get me to my room. I am worried, though; Dustin, Kaleb, and Nate had to go to the next town over for business. I start to grab my phone, but Kylani stops me.

“I already let Dustin know what's going on,” Kylani tells me with a smile.

I smile at her and go to the bathroom to change. I come out and lay down in the bed to get comfortable. The doctor comes in and hooks me up to some monitors. She checks me to see how far along I am.

“Well, you are 3 centimetres dilated, and the little man in there is doing well. Let me know if the pain becomes too much, and we can get the epidural placed.” Doctor Sweeney says, smiling.

I relax a bit into the bed. I really wish Dustin was here. It would help me calm down. I am able to eat a small meal that Mykenzie sneaks in for me. The three of us are sitting there laughing when I hear a growl. I realize that it's both of them. Natalya is right; it does sound like a fucking tiger. I look at them and notice that their eyes are glowing green. I start to get scared until I hear a familiar voice.

“Dude you can’t walk up quietly.” I hear Tarlek says.

“Why are they growling at me? I am her mate.” I hear Dustin reply.

The door opens suddenly, and both of them stand up and place themselves in front of my bed. I see their nails start to come out.

“You two can knock it off. It's just us.” Reecie says as he and Kaleb walk in.

Dustin and Tarlek follow them in. Mykenzie and Kylani start to relax, and their eyes stop glowing. Dustin walks over to me and sits on the bed. He leans down to kiss me.

“How are my two favorite people?” He asks, flashing one of his sexy smiles.

“I am ok. The contractions aren't too bad yet.” I tell him

Mykenzie and Kylani leave to get something to drink. I ask why they acted like that. Tarlek explains that being quiet is not ideal. They thought that someone was trying to sneak in and hurt Mykayla. Dustin wanted to be mad, but he was glad someone was here to protect him.

Five hours later:

What in the fuck is taking so long? The contractions have gotten worse, and I finally gave in and had the epidural placed. Ok, now that's much better. Why did I wait so long to have this done? Dustin has not left me, but I finally made him and the guys go back to the packhouse and shower and change since, obviously, this was going to take a while. Mykenzie and Kylani are still sitting in the room when the faint scent of blood hits my nose. I know it's not me, so I look over at them.

“Kylani, your bleeding,” I tell her as I see a small streak of blood on her pants.

As I say this, she grabs her belly and hits the floor. It hits her out of nowhere, so she can’t even scream. I yell for the nurse, and she comes running to check on me. When she sees Kylani on the floor, she yells for the doctor. Dr Sweeney comes into the room, and they take Kylani out of the room and put her in a room of her own. I am scared for her and hope she is not losing the baby. The guys walk back in just after this and go quiet. I know they can smell the blood. I can see Kaleb tense, and he is just about to ask what happened when the doctor comes back in. Of course, right at that second Kylani lets out a scream of pain and Kaleb bolts from the room. I look at Dustin, and he goes after Kaleb.

Dustin

Well, this day has gone differently than I thought it would. When Kylani all of a sudden popped into my mind, I knew something was up. I immediately thought they were being attacked again, but that was not the case. When she said that Mykayla was in labour, I was thankful until the words registered in my brain. We had just finished the meeting, and I told the guys we had to leave now and why. I am surprised we didn’t get pulled over with how fast Nate was driving. We headed straight for the pack hospital. I walked in and was told where Mykayla was.

12 hours later:

I had no idea what a process this was going to be. I didn't realize that having a pup would take 12 hours. Mykayla did great, though. I know she wanted to have a natural birth, but after five hours, she gave in and had the doctor give her the epidural. I am glad she did; she was much happier after. When it was finally time for Mykayla to push, she and I were in the room. It still took her another hour before our son was born. The doctor had me cut the cord and handed him to the nurse to clean him. I followed her and watched her. He was a nice healthy baby boy weighing 11Ibs. He had a head of dark blonde hair and crystal ice green eyes that faded to a pale hazel in the middle. He was a perfect blend of the two of us. I was in love.

“I was wondering if I can hold our son?” Mykayla asked, giggling.

I turn around and look at her. She is so beautiful, and I place our son on her chest.

“What do you think about the name Dominick Alexander Trudeau.” She asks me.

I look at our little man and smile.

“I think it's perfect,” I tell her.

I sit there watching her hold our son. I couldn't even think about my life before this moment. I think my life is perfect.
