NovelEnglishChapter 0496 -Josie - I'm quiet as I move out of my bedroom not wanting to alert the household that I was heading out.
It was still early and being a Sunday, no training was scheduled.
There was no reason for anyone to be up early on a pack-wide rest day. Unless you were on border patrol.
As long as I tip toe down the stairs, avoiding the creaking steps...I should make it out without being heard.
But as I make it half way down the stairs, a sigh escapes me...both Mum and Dad are at the bottom waiting for me. "Can we come?" "How did you find out?" I stop a few steps from them, unable to hide the bite in my tone. They didn't deserve it, but I was irritated that they had found out.
"I told you, the hospital has policies to follow." Which is code for, Sophia told Dad.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI sigh internally, there was no point hiding any of my prenatal appointments with them, Sophia was going to tell them each tnow anyway.
"It's just a check up, just to geton the system as it were. Not a lot will happen." I try to brush it off.
"We don't care, we want to be there to support you." "Really?" "Yes, of course." Warmth spreads throughout my chest, yes...yes I would like that. I want them to be with me. This is their first grandchild after all.
"Okay." I smile out, my emotions once again flipping over. I was like a yoyo at the moment, still reeling from Jaxon's intrusion, from the hole in my wall. But I needed to push my anger with him aside, this was a special moment, one my parents want to be included on. "You mean that?" Mum takes a step towards me, her hand placing out to helpdown the stairs. I was pregnant not incapable of walking the last few steps but her gesture is sweet and I make no comment.
"Yes, I would like you both to be there with me." It feels peculiar, to be sitting in the doctor's office with my parents. I wasn't a child anymore, I was an adult growing my own child. Yet, I needed them...I didn't want to be alone. No matter what I might say, no matter how strong I try to play...I was scared.
I was worried about the unknown path I had now entered on...scared about my future as a single mother.
I don't know why, many women rock it and this isn't the Middle Ages. I can do this I know I can, so what is holdingback. Mum and Dad sit in silence, behaving as they just watch Sophia take the typical readings of blood pressure and temperature.
She handsa bottle of pregnancy vitamins that I need to take daily as well as ask questions about my wolf's energy levels.
There's a slight growl from Dad, which causes a bead of sweat to form upon her brow...she was more nervous thanas she draws blood out of my arm.
She doesn't need to use silver, which I think she was more grateful for than me, Dad was already almost lunging out of his chair.
Sophia works quietly, not giving anything away as she continues to givea full health check and write down the results on a document.
She calls my parents over when I am finally laying back on the bed, my relatively flat stomach covered in skind of jelly substance prior to the ultrasound.
Nerves creep back in...self doubt, I don't think I am actually ready for this.
He should be here, he should be a part of this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGuilt of keeping him out of this washes over me, it's harshness not lost on me.
I have a sneaky suspicion that it is my wolf sendingthese emotions, her constant pining forto tell him, when I was trying to protect her, protectfrom his rejection. He has another. Deep down I know I will regret this that I I differwish I had handled things
differently but my wolf is so weak as it is growing this baby can't give her a broken heart as well. The content is e on novelenglish.net! At least I can carry that burden for her.
She had hope, whereas I had to be realistic now.
So what if we were a fluid family, so what if I was in love with I was him m didn't mean he was in love with me.
