Marcus
True to my word Liyah and I didn’t come out of our room for 24 hours. My beta linked my the day after we rescued everyone saying my mates parents demanded to see her. I told him to let them know she is ok but a little indisposed at the moment.
“Your parents want to see you now little mate. Are you ready to go and formally meet them?” I asked. I know she was hugging her family and sharing a good cry but I wanted to make sure she didn’t change her mind.
“Yes I’m ready. This is so unreal. I thought my parents where my parents. I’m still wrapping my head around that news.” She said playing with her fingers nervously.
“You have nothing to worry about.” I grabbed her hands kneeled down and kissed her cheek. “They love you and only want to see you happy. They sacrificed a lot to keep you safe.” I squeezed her hand reassuring her it will all be ok.
“Alright I guess I’m ready.” She stood up wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight. When we broke off I wrapped my arm around her shoulder pulling her into my side and we exited our room.
We went downstairs to the kitchen where we heard a bunch of loud talking and laughing. I looked down at Liyah as she stared up at me a brightness to her eyes and I thought to myself ‘I will do whatever it takes to keep that look on her beautiful face.’
We entered the room and we were instantly flanked by her father and uncle demanding to know why she was locked in our room. After a minute or two Maria and Marta came over and shoved them away from us reminding them that we were mates and needed some much deserved alone time. I smiled at my soon to be mother in law for that reprieve.
“So your auntie and I have been cooking up a storm and we want you two to have first crack at the spread” which earned a loud groan from Damien. We all busted out in hearty laughs.
We got our food and made our way to the dining hall, Liyah next to me. “We have to call Jacob and Allison to let them know your ok. Apparently that asshole Alpha let it slip you were missing. He doesn’t know you were rescued so he’s the next visit we have to make.” I reminded Liyah. She wanted to call her friends last night but by the time we got home I had her so turned on she couldn’t think of anything but riding my big hard monster.
“Ok I’ll call them as soon as I eat the delicious food. These burritos smell so good. It’s my favorite.” Liyah dug in while I watched her a bit before devouring my food.
After a few bites Liyah started to slow down and not really look well.
“Baby are you ok?” I put my hand on her back and rubbed up and down. She just shook her head and immediately jumped up and ran. I followed close behind and so did the entire family both mine as well as hers.
“Marcus what’s going on why did she run.” My mother a little panicked but I couldn’t answer I was hurriedly trying to get to my mate. She was my priority.
Liyah ran into our room and then the bathroom and just as I got to the bedroom door she began to throw up. Now I was definitely worried. Normally our kind doesn’t get sick.
“Kyle contact the pack doctor immediately. Tell them the Luna is sick.” I then rushed into the bathroom seeing my mate with her head on the toilet seat, crying. I rushed over to her and held her in my arms.
“It’s ok baby. Everything will be fine. The doctor will be here soon.” I whispered to her while I rocked her gently.
“It hurts so bad Marcus.” She sobbed uncontrollably. I felt so helpless in the precise moment, but I held her til she calmed down. I then helped her up, got her all cleaned up and than carried her to bed. As soon as she closed her eyes the pack doctor was there.
“Please everyone leave the room for a few moments while I examine the luna. You too Alpha.” The doctor said sternly.
We gave him his space to work and after fifteen minutes I was about to bust the door down. Just as I was about to knock the doctor left the room and bowed his head with a smile
“I think your Luna wants to speak with you Alpha.” With that he bowed and left without another word.
Aaliyah was sitting up in bed looking a little pale and exhausted but still as beautiful as ever.
“Hey the doc says you wanted to talk to me.” Sitting on the bed close to her I grabbed her hand hoping it’s not bad news.
She looked me in the eyes and smiled a big smile. I could feel we had an audience waiting at our bedroom door.
“Well I found out why I got sick and it should be temporary.” She said cryptically
“Ok good. What was wrong?” Relived but a little worried.
“Well..... I don’t know how to say this....I...I...” she stuttered
“It’s ok baby I’m always here for you.” I squeezed her hand assuredly.
“I’m pregnant.... SURPRISE!!!” And all I could do was stare in shock. How did this happen. I mean I know how this happened but she want even in her heat. Werewolves first time getting pregnant always has to happen during their heat. Than they can get pregnant anytime but only by their mate.
I must’ve been in a daze for a few because Liyah squeezed my hand and it brought be back to the present.
“You’re pregnant? Your going to have a baby.” Boy I sounded like and i***t.
“No, we. We’re going to have a baby.” She said with a soft smile and I couldn’t help but pull her into my lap and hug her tight kissing anywhere I could reach. Her head, cheek, neck, lips.
We broke apart when we heard laughter and seen my mother and Liyahs mother hugging and crying while everyone else was hugging and laughing. So guess we didn’t need to let them in on the surprise and yea it was one hell of a surprise.
We. Are. Going. To. Be. Parents.
I couldn’t wait to meet our pup.
