Chapter Thirteen

***Two Weeks Later***

   We are getting ready to go to the baby surplus store to grab baby items. As we are getting ready to go a pack member from a long allied pack comes to speak with Quinn.

"Hello Quinn Peterson, I know you may not know me but I'm Parker from the BlackBrair Pack." This man standing in front of us says.

"Hello Parker of BlackBrair Pack, how may I be of service for y'all today?" Quinn asks Parker.

"Well as you know, Alpha Jerrol wants to have our packs' allegiance strengthened by a marriage. And seeing as you're already getting married he wants to make a new marriage arrangement." Parker says.

"I see. Well Alpha Jerrol will have to wait until my mate and I come home from the baby surplus store as I'm sure you all are well aware that she and I are expecting since you seem to know so much about us already." Quinn says.

As we turn to leave, Parker grabs Quinns' arm "I'm not finished with you."

Donnie slams into Parker and says, "You're done when our Alpha says you're done. Touch him again and I will gladly send your head back to Alpha Jerrol with a letter explaining why. And I guarantee he won't be happy to know his messenger laid a hand on the Alpha he wishes to be stronger allies with."

And with that Quin and I are off to the baby surplus store!

   As we arrive at the store we notice it's a lot smaller than we thought it would be a surplus store. Quinn parks the car and comes to open my side of the car and helps me out of the car.

"You know, I'm not 7 months pregnant yet I can open and get out of the car on my own for now." I say laughing.

"I know. But I'm always going to open the door for you and I'm always going to help you out of whatever you need help with." Quinn says as he kisses my cheek.

We walk into the store and immediately every female's eyes turn to Quinn as we walk pass. I want to rip their eyes from their heads, but I keep my composure. Until, this red headed twit of a "woman" comes up to us and tries to touch my mate. I block her hand, get in front of him, and tell her sternly, "We don't need any help, especially from you or any other staff member except the cashier. Thank you and goodbye."

She turns away slightly angry and walks away from us. As we continue to shop Quinn squeezes my arm and asks, "Are we going to talk about what just happened? I mean not that I don't like your defencive, jealous side. But you looked as if you were going to rip her arm off."

"Well I took offence of a female coming to touch my mate knowing you walked in here with me. That we are leaving here together. What would you have done if a guy had seen us come in somewhere together and go straight for touching me?" I answer him while looking at gender neutral outfits.

Quinn smiles and whispers, "I would probably kill him. So I see where you're coming from. But it's okay and you never have to worry I wouldn't've let her touch me. You are the woman who can touch me ever."

I smile as a shiver runs up my back. I pick several outfits, there are yellows, browns, greens, and oranges. Quinn says we should pick out and carseat, stroller, and crib so that we have it ahead of everything. Which is smart but I don't even know where to begin. In Fandell Kingdom elves usually have family heirloom cribs and strollers bought by family members and we have no need for cars there. But I am not asking any of these staff members for any help. I'll know what's the right thing out when I see it, right?

Wrong! We get the aisle with the carseat and there are so many to choose from I really don't know where to start. I look at Quinn and he seems just as taken back as I am. So I smile and ask, "What do we look at first, hmm?"

"I have no idea but let's start by reading the package labels." Quinn says, sounding a bit worried.

As we begin reading one of the carseat labels that stupid red headed staff member walks up to us and says apologeticly, "Oh you don't want that one. It's an old model. I could point you in the best direction."

"I'm sorry but I don't think you quite understood what I meant. We don't need your help nor do we want it." I say with a smile and Quinn takes my hand as we walk away from that aisle.

"I know, I know, I don't have anything to worry about from you, there is just something about that lady, that when I see her I just want to rip her to shreds. I don't know what it is that's making me feel like this. I.. I.. I'm sorry Quinn." I say confused and a bit sad.

Quinn tilts my face to look up at him instead of the floor, "There is no need to apologize my love. You after all, are a pregnant elf with a werewolf baby growing inside you. The blood of a werewolf is inside of you just as much as it is in the baby because you are sharing blood with the baby. Any feelings and reactions you may have are going to be heightened. Don't ever apologize for sharing something only you can with our child." He leans down and kisses my forehead.

We go back to the aisle when the red headed worker was and she is still there now helping another parent-to-be couple. I walk up to her and say, "I'm sorry for being a bossy rude b***h. I just… this is all new to me… to us. And well i don't know how to control my emotions, reactions, or temper just yet. I would appreciate your help, but I will make one thing perfectly clear, you do not and will not touch my husband, are we clear."

"Completely clear. My name is Crystal and I'm sorry I've offended you. I would be honoured to help you get everything you want and need to make your first time special." Crystal says smiling and points the way to the carseats.

We pick our carseat, crib, and stroller today and as we take the carseat to the front of the store we see one of Quinn's many ex-flings making a b-line for Quinn and I.

"Well well look what we have here. So Quinn has finally settled down, and with an elf for the matter. Tell me how is it? My leftovers I mean." She says with a smirk on her face.

"I'm sorry but I guess I never told you, you were getting her leftovers any time you and I saw each other. Oh, but that's right, you're the one who enjoyed her taste all over me. Now if you'll leave my mate and I alone so we can finish our shopping in peace." Quinn says as he pulls me closer to him.

The woman walks away stund and embarrassed. I stare at Quinn shocked and surprised. "What in the world was that?" I ask him.

"Well she was trying to be a b***h to you so I turned it around on her by telling her the truth." Quinn smiles as the cashier rings up our items. He pays for it and we leave. 

As we are putting our stuff in the car his phone rings. I take it from his pocket while he puts the carseat into the backseat of the car. His mom is calling so I answer it.

"Hello Renee, how are you?" I ask her.

She says, "I'm fine dear, how are you? Where are you two?"

I smile even though she can't see it, "We are fine as well and we went baby shopping for a few small things. We are heading back to the pack house now we will be there in 15 minutes."

"Okay love well I'll see y'all then." She says and says goodbye and hangs up the phone.
