| was walking around the lake behind the house. Well, more like waddling. Baby was due any day now and | was

hoping this would convince them to cout. | felt huge and everything ached. And I've been bored out of my

mind since Blake won't letwork. I've been off for the last four weeks, and the nursery is done and waiting for

our pup to arrive.

We decided to have both packs move to the city. It’s still a work in progress but | was able to get all the finances

in order. We are just waiting for more housing. But everything seems to be coming together.

| stopped to take a few deep breaths as my stomach tightened. I've been having contractions off and on but they

never get worse. And they would go away.

“Luna, is everything alright?” Connor asked me. Blake assigned his ga mma to be my personal guard when |

wasn’t with him.

“Yeah, just taking a breather.” | sighed.

“Maybe we should head back.” We both turned around and headed. towards my home. About halfway there, a

contraction hit so strong | doubled over, taking labored breaths.

“F uck, Luna, what's wrong?” Connor kneeled in front of me. The poor guy looked terrified.

“I think I'm finally in real labor,” | chuckled as the pain had subsided.

“Okay, what do | do?” He exclaimed in a panic as | started to walk. again. | needed to get hand to the

hospital. It wasn’t far but | wasn’ 1 giving birth on a path in the woods by a lake.

“Just walk with me. Labor can take hours. Just breathe,” | told him. | chuckled at the irony.

“We are in labor, but it’s still carly. I'll take as much as | can,” she hissed as another contraction hit. | stopped to

take deep breaths until it subsided again.

“Baby, what's wrong?” His panicked voice filled my head.

“I'm out for a walk by the lake, and I'm in labor.” | felt him close the

link.

“I linked, Blake,” I said to Connor as we walked slowly towards home.

“Luna, are you sure you are okay?”

“I'll be better once this baby is out of me,” | joked, before letting out a hiss. F uck, this hurts.

“Ryley,” Blake exclaimed as he ran upon us.

“Blake, what are you doing?” | gasped as he scoopedup into his

arms.

“I'm getting you to the hospital. What the hell were you thinking walking so far from home?” He scolded as he

rushed down the path toward hand the hospital.

“Lily, why aren't you helping?” | scolded my wolf once the pain calmed down

“I am helping. Baby just wants to cout.” She whined. | knew she was in pain because | was.

“Da mn it, this hurts,” | gritted out as Blake rushed into the hospital. By the t| was in a room and changed, |

was unable to speak. The pain was too much and all | could do was try to breathe through the contractions that

didn’t seem to stop..

“Luna, it’s tfor you to push,” the doctor said from between my legs.

“I think I'm done,” | groaned and Blake chuckled before kissing my forehead.

“Our pup is almost here, baby. You are doing so well. Don’t you want to meet them?” Blake encouraged me. He

has been great this entire labor but he can’t take the pain. And it was overwhelming.

“Just take deep breaths and with the next contraction, | want you to push as hard as you can, Luna,” | nodded to

the doctor.

“You got this, baby, you are the strongest person | know,” Blake toldbefore | pushed with everything | had

left in me.

“It’s a girl,” The doctor announced as she held up our baby. | cried as | looked at our daughter. She started to

scream unhappy with the world. around her.

Blake cut the cord and the doctor laid our baby girl on my bare chest. She sniffled as she calmed down. She had

dark hair like her daddy. Blake was looking at her with tears in his eyes as | rubbed her back. | couldn't see her

face but | was enjoying her tiny body against mine.

“She is beautiful, baby. You did so good.” Blake kissed my forehead as he rubbed his daughter's check.

“And what should we nher?” | asked him. We didn’t find out what we were having, and we couldn’t decide

on names. We wanted to wait. until the baby was born.

“I think we should call her Evelyn, after her mommy,” Blake said and | smiled up at him.

“Evelyn Mia Orion. It sounds perfect.” Tears rolled down my mate’s cheeks as he closed his eyes. | knew this was

going to be an emotional day for him.

“It’s perfect, just like my girls.” Blake smiled down atbefore he leaned down and kissed me.

“Words aren’t enough to say how much | love you,” He whispered.

“My heart feels the sway about you.”
