The Fated Trinity

Chapter Seven: The baby's gender

I stumble backward at the hostility I feel smack me in the face as he rounds the corner of the house. Sia’s eyes trail to me and back to the corner of the house and we stand there in complete silence. The sliding glass door makes a woosh sound as it slides open. Dad along with Jackson, Ty, Ryker, and Jeon walk outside and they curiously look around.

“Where is Kai?” Ryker asks as his brows furrow.

I point in the direction he walked and look up at Dad, “I want to go home,” I say softly trying to hold the tears back.

“Hunny, what’s wrong?”

“I just want to go home.”

He nods and lets the other know we will be heading home. He did make them aware that we will need access to the jet in two weeks for a follow-up appointment. Once Dad was done talking to them about pack business we said our goodbyes and hopped into the car. Kai was on the phone as we left and Dad said bye to him and he nodded back without looking at me.

The flight home is bumpy and long, but I am thankful when my feet hit the ground and we head home.

Kai’s POV:

My blood is boiling as I round the corner of the house. Bullshit this girl is pregnant with my child. She’s lying and I will prove that. Tyler said she is seeing Dr. Gee and that is who my first call is going to be. I pull my phone out of my back pocket and dial the office number.

“Thank you for calling Rose Memorial, this is Xena. How can I help you?”

“Xena, this is Alpha Kai and I need to speak with Dr. Gee immediately.”

“Hi Alpha Kai, give me one moment and I will see if she is available.”

The hold music is enough to make me want to eat a bowl of silver. I cannot believe someone I had a one-night stand with is trying to say their baby is mine. I get it, I am a f*****g Alpha, but this is more annoying as it’s our Gamam’s daughter. Not to mention she lied about her age. Sure I took her virginity, but how the hell do I know she hasn’t slept with someone since then? Not to mention I’m a f*****g werewolf and I can’t get humans pregnant. I’ve slept with over a hundred women and not one time have they gotten pregnant.

I am pulled from my racing thoughts as Xena comes back on the line.

“Alpha Kai, thank you for holding. I am going to transfer you back to Dr. Gee. One moment please.”

“Thank you.”

“This is Dr. Gee.”

“It’s Alpha Kai. I need advice on what to do. A woman is claiming she is pregnant with my child. Is there a way to determine if I am the father before the baby is born? It’s bullshit and I know it. She’s lying.”

“Well hello to you too, Alpha Kai. Yes, with the mother’s consent, we can perform a DNA test. It is noninvasive and we would need a cheek swab from you.”

“I have no intention of speaking with her, so how the hell am I supposed to get her consent?”

“I am going to be frank with you, Alpha Kai. You will have to speak with her or you can give me her information and with your consent, I can call her. Do you have her contact information?

“No. But… it…it’s Gamma Tyler’s daughter,” I struggle to get out.

A long and awkward pause following my words leaves me feeling uncomfortable. I know Dr. Gee is probably torn because Amber is her patient, but I am her Alpha. She was there the day Ryker and I were born. Her loyalty is to me.

“Oh, Kai,” she sighs.

“I don’t want to hear it, Dr. Gee. It was a one-night stand. She lied about her age. And she is lying.”

“Please come to my office next week and we will perform the cheek swab. Her next appointment is the following week and I will have the results then. I don’t advise coming during her appointment time, but that is ultimately your choice.”

As we are finishing the call up Tyler and his daughters are leaving and Tyler says bye, but I’m not in the mood for pleasantries. I nod and walk in the other direction. As I hang up the phone with Dr. Gee I need to leave. I know I am going to be hounded by everyone and I am not in the mood for it. I hop in my Audi R8 GT and speed off. I want to be alone.

Amber’s POV:

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t hurt by Kai’s reaction. He has left me feeling like a slut. I know in my heart he is the only person that I slept with. But, to him, I did sleep with him with little to no pushback. I cling to my growing baby bump knowing her father likely won’t be a part of her life. I can’t help but cry. I grew up without my Mom and I know what it’s like to miss a parent. I don’t want my baby to go through this.

The next two weeks drag on and work is torture for me as the pain from my pregnancy kicks in about halfway through week nine. The following Friday, I will be ten weeks pregnant, and that is when my follow-up appointment with Dr. Gee is. We fly out early in the morning from Bloomington to Key West. I already let Dad know I do not want to go to the compound while we are here this time. He still does not know that Kai is the father of the baby. Even with that, he agrees and we will be heading home directly following my appointment.

Dr. Gee and Sarah are happy to see me as I enter the room and their faces light up.

“Hi Amber,” they both say at the same time.

“Hi.”

I am realizing that the cup of shame is inevitable with being pregnant so this time when I have to pee in it I don’t feel as icky as I have previously. The ultrasound goes as planned, but after listening to the baby’s heartbeat and seeing the screen Dr.Gee asks if I would like to know the baby’s gender.

My face twists in confusion, “You can tell already?” I ask.

“We can and yes I do know the gender,” Dr. Gee smiles.

A warm smile spreads across my face, “Yes! I would love to know.”

“It’s a girl.”

My heart melts into a million pieces, a girl. I'm having a daughter. A little girl of my very own. A tinge of pain hits me as I wish my Mom was here to help me through this. She would love to have a grandbaby, boy or girl. She has missed so much and it hurts when I stop to think about it.

The joy and happiness is short-lived as there is a knock on the door. Sarah opens the door and the receptionist is standing at the door. I hear her say Alpha Kai wants to come in. Sarah’s face drops and she turns to Dr. Gee.

“Amber, are you okay with Kai coming in?”

No, I’m not. But I don’t say that. I shrug.

Dr. Gee called me last week to get my permission to run a DNA test against Kai and the baby. She was able to do it via a blood draw from me. I had no idea we would be getting those results today.

“Come in Alpha Kai,” she says, maintaining eye contact with me.

He walks in, his eyes avoiding me and he leans against the wall. His jaw is clenched and you can cut the tension in the air with a knife.

“Do you have the results?” he asks dryly.

“I do. Are you both ready?”

I nod and so does Kai.
