just sit there on edge, holding myself in place, not moving. If I were to move, I would break. Deeper into the night, a single lusock on my door came. My body started to shake with who it was standing there, waiting for me to open the door. To invite him into my home. He stayed there, waiting bed waiting for him to leave, and eventually he did.
It was very diffiende for all the mated wolves to watch. You have nothing to be embarrassed about.” He’s trying to catch my eyes, but I refuse to look at
him. “Rya, anytime you want to talk
“Thanks, Dallas, I appreciate that
“All right, if you need anything, you know where my office is.” Putting my heal down, I pretend to look at a chart.
Thunks.” He’s gone after my words come out of my mouth
I just need some air. There’s something about a settled storm, just after the wind whips the loose leaves off the trees. The way the earth smells fresh, renewed The grass looks greener, the birds sing louder, and the sun seems brighter with its warm light
A car pulling into the parking lot attracts my attention, black–tinted windows not allowing me to see who’s inside. The door opens, and the Luna steps out, along with her young juvenile daughter, who looks down at the ground, tight–lipped,
“Rya, I wanted to stop by and see you”
“Luna Catherine,” I bow my head slightly to her. “I’m working. Now is not a goodtime.!
“You’re right, you are working, but I didn’t conse for our talk. Kimberly has an appointment with you this morning.” She puts her hand on her daughter’s shoulder as Kimberly picks at the cuticle of her fingernail, looking down in share.
Please, come in “I hold the door open so they can step into the clinic.
Walking them toward my office, I gesture them inside. “Please, sit down.” I calm a seat, opening her empty chart.
*50, Kimberly, how far along do you think you are?” she keeps her head down, not looking up
“I’m two months 1 don’t see any claim marks on her neck, nothing that says she has a mate beside a pup in her belly.
“Do you mind if I ask you a leje questions before I examine you?” I’m trying to be as professional with her as possible.
she looks toward her mother, then back at me.
“Luna Catherine, do you mind waiting outside while I talk with Kimberly? I have to ask her some personal questions. It won’t take long, but I do need you to step out, please.” This time, I meet the Luna’s eyes directly. She might be over me in the pack, but in this office, I have authority. I will not back down My pregnant females will always come first
She doesn’t look away. Neither do I. Finally, she gets up off
If the chair. Her daughter is open mouthed at our interaction, looking from my face to
mother’s. The Luna cannot hide the smile that’s spread wide, malding
her look so beautiful. “I just wait outside “Kimberly, how old are you?”
“Sixteen.”
“Was this your first heat?”
“Yes.” She’s picking at her fingernails.
“Did you want to get pregnant?”
her
“No.” She starts shaking her head vigorously. “I just didn’t think it would happen.” Her poor little lips start to tremble. It must be very scary for her, being so young to have the responsibility of a new life inside her.
“Did you not take the proper precautions?” She shakes her head no, focusing out the window. I try to mask my surprise at this. All the young females should know better when they are in their fertile times. This gives me a good idea to gather all the young adolescent females for a health lesson on proper
precautions and how to use them,
“It was my first time, Rya I was where all the females go to ride out the beat, but the door was unlocked. He got in.” She’s still looking at her nails as it they’re the most important thing that can hold her attention. Whoever was responsible for the door should be shot with silver.
“All right, Kimberly, let’s get your weight and some measurements. Then we will do an ultrasound, have a proper look at him.” I can smell the male inside læt, he’s strong already. “Where’s your mate at?”
“He just left for University. He won’t be back until his first semester is done. This is going to be tough on her without her mate by her side,
“Okay, let’s get your mother. We’ll do an ultrasound, then you can be on your way.” Leaving her on the table, I go get the Luna. She’s sitting with Aurora, Juaving tea and laughing like two old friends.
You can come in nus. Turning on my heels, I don’t wait for her to follow.
Back in the examination room. I ask her to lift her shirt up, then put the cold jelly on her lower abdomen. I start to look around to find the little giv. The Luna enters the darkened room, standing by her daughter’s side. It doesn’t take long to locate the forming young
“There we are. He doesn’t look like much now, but just wait.” I turn on the sound so they can hear the rapid heartbeat clearer. The Luna has tears in ber eyes, so does Kimberly. What a nice moment for mother and daughter. I wish I could give my mother this moment. Watching the Luna bend down and kiss her daughter’s head makes me smile. She will have the support she needs during this time.
Printing several pictures for the both of them, I wipe away the sticky jelly from her lower abdomen and help her sit up. I think to myself this could have been my nephew.
