Living The Past

Chapter 7 - A Baby.

I sat there as the pack doctor examined me.

“Good news Luna! You’re pregnant!” He said with a wide smile. I felt my heart drop. “It’s the reason you’ve been so ill, and I know Alpha Charles was worried it was something bigger.”the doctor laughed. I looked down not even sure what to say. I didn’t have to wait long as Charles entered our bedroom.

“Sorry I’m late darling. Is everything ok Doctor?” He came over and grabbed my hand noticing the expression on my face.

“Oh it’s nothing to worry about Alpha, she’s with child was the problem.” I looked at Charles and he was in shock as well.

“You’re sure?” His voice was hopeful.

“Well it’s the only thing that lines up with her symptoms and she hasn’t bled in over a month. I’m very positive.” The doctor picked up his bag. “Congratulations.” He said walking out the door. Charles started to get excited. He grabbed my face and started kissing me.

“We have to inform everyone! I will have to see if I can get ahold of my parents! The nursery! We have to finish the nursery.” I smiled as I watched his overjoyed reaction. We went to hastily leave but stopped. He ran back and kissed me and then ran out the door. Miranda came in with a smile.

“Miss! The doctor told me the good news. I brought extra pillows to make you comfortable. I heard the first months are very hard.” Miranda started fixing pillows up behind me and then it hit me. I was going to barely be able to do anything until the child was born. Charles would be more protective then he was. I let out a long sigh.

“What is it miss?” Miranda asked.

“I just know my husband. He’s not going to let me lift a finger until the baby comes.” I closed my eyes and leaned back.

“That’s how it should be miss, bringing a baby into this world is hard work. You’re going to be too tired to do very many things. Alpha is going to want to protect his heir as much as possible.” Miranda smiled. “Oh the thought of a little baby to take care of! How exciting.” She walked out and I tried to get used to the idea. Some one is going to be calling me mom. I was going to be someone’s mother. I suddenly felt myself starting to cry. I just felt so happy.

Meals had started coming to my room. My guess was Charles or the staff thought I should stay in bed. I was half way though my meal when Charles came in.

“Julia! I found a perfect spot to build the nursery.” He said coming over and kissing my forehead.

“Build?” I asked.

“Well yes. I want a grand place the baby can be and I came to the realization all the things I wanted, we should build a small home like structure. We can convert it into a class room. We can put in a room for the pack woman to go do crafts and such. What ever you woman do.” He swished his hand.

“Woman? Will multiple people be using it?” I was confused.

“Well I figured it could be a place all the elite pack woman can take their babies and talk. My mom used to take up space in our dining area. The babies all crying at the same time, it was very annoying.” He said slipping off his boots and staring off into the distance.

“There are other woman in the pack house?” I had never seen anyone else. Charles started laughing.

“Of course there are other woman in the pack house. My beta Alexander and his wife are trying for a pup.” He just carried on changing.

“How have I never met them?” I said trying not to sound angry.

“Because I haven’t introduced you, or I should say, I wanted you to myself.” He smiled and walked over giving me a kiss then went back to the dresser.

“It seems like your ashamed of me or something.” I just couldn’t stop those words and as they came out, I knew he would not react well.

“What?” He looked mad already. “How could you say that?!”

“I can never go out and I’ve never met anyone other then the maids!” I couldn’t stop myself. Charles took a deep breath.

“You’re right. I’m sorry.” It was the first time he had ever said that. I was shocked. “I’ve been so worried someone would try to take you, or you would feel the mate bond with another and want to leave. Now that you are carrying my child. I know you’ll never leave.” I didn’t expect him to open up the way he did.

“But what if your true mate comes along?” I asked him.

“I would reject her, she’s probably a weak she-wolf. She would be nothing compared to you.” I smiled. It was one of the sweetest things he had said to me.

“Well then I would do the same.” I said to him and he came and hugged me.

“I can’t wait to have so many more pups with you.” He said.

“Can I meet the other elite members of the pack?” I asked. He pulled away and looked at me.

“Of course. When you feel better.” He got into the bed. I called for Miranda to take my tray of food away. I could hardly eat lately.

“You’re not eating much.” Charles said as she cleared my tray.

“I can’t it makes me feel sick. I’m eating what I can keep down.” I said to him.

“We’ll have to find out what the baby wants.” Charles rubbed my stomach. He was so happy. Hopefully these next few months, he would keep to his word and let me have more freedom.
