Lily’s pov
The next day I was feeling so many emotions. Shock, fear, happiness, excitement, disbelief. I was pregnant! And I had a suspicion that Osiris wasn’t going to make this pregnancy easy for me. Osiris proved me right when he treated me like I was made of glass the whole morning. Some part of it was really nice though, he did everything for me. Osiris pulled out my chair at breakfast, made a plate and cleaned up after me. I think he would have carried me if I hadn’t stopped him. I had told Osiris I wanted to keep the news to myself until we had our first check-up. It all felt so unreal to me and I didn’t want to make anyone excited and then have to tell them it was a false alarm. It was a good thing we were heading home today, because my parents would have notices otherwise. It was like Osiris had changed overnight into my bodyguard. “Hopefully it will be less when we’re at home” Arya said, but I had my doubts. Osiris really hadn’t dealt with his parents sudden death and wMy birthday is the 20st so I am going to a vacation home with my boyfriend and kids. Will not be writing as much as usual .
Osiris’ pov I knew I was driving Lily crazy with my behavior, but until I knew everything was going well with her and our baby I wasn’t going to take any chances. We’ll go to the doctor this afternoon, which is a good thing because I don’t know how much longer Lily can stay mad at me. I’m hoping that seeing the baby will make us close again. Even Santos thinks I am overreacting, which is saying a lot. He is usually the less rational one. “Hey, you know I can hear you when you’re thinking!” Santos shouted feeling insulted. I laughed “sorry, but you’re usually more hotheaded than I am.” Santos retorted “yes, but I am also the one that knows that our mate can defend herself.” I jumped in “I know she can. I trust her, it’s everyone else that I don’t trust.” Santos sighed “it’s not healthy. She is at our home. You don’t even trust your own pack anymore?” I didn’t reply, I didn’t know how to answer that question. I knew my pack was loyal to me and I knew they wouldn’t wan
Lily’s pov Osiris and I have been back to normal ever since that doctor’s visit. Well, maybe not normal. Because as soon as my second trimester started my hormones caused me to become more horny than usual and I’ve been craving Osiris’ touch non-stop. At first he was scared that he would hurt me or the baby, but now he finds me sexy and is in awe of my growing belly. We’ve told everyone the good news and they’re all so excited. Charlotte is really happy her baby girl is getting a nephew or niece she can grow up with together. Osiris and I have come to a compromise regarding my safety. Only when I want to run I have to be accompanied by another wolf, since that was when I was taken last time. When I’m safely at my pack Osiris lets me go by myself. Just lets me, because it took a lot of convincing before he finally gave in. But today we are going back to the Midnight Blood pack and that makes Osiris really nervous. I am half way through my pregnancy, which means soon I won’t be able to
Lily’s pov I’ve been hanging back at the packhouse while Osiris goes through the finances with Neron before we leave. After taking a short nap I went down and talk to Jean. She had changed a lot since my first visit here, she seems less tense and scared. She has really opened up to me how it has been living under Alpha Kendrick and how everything has changed for them. “My kids are so much happier right now. Roman and Anne are even thinking about going to college. Anne really wants to study to become the pack doctor.” I smiled “that is wonderful. I am so happy for you.” Jean looked down at my stomach “I can’t believe it has been so long since I carried them in my belly. Time goes so fast.” She stopped and looked sad “I don’t want to scare you, but I know you’re close to the point where you won’t be able to shift. You should really try to get your wolf out as much as possible. It can be really frustrating for you both not being able to shift.” I was feeling bad for Ar
Osiris’ pov Everything between me and Lily has been great, like really good. I still find it hard at times to let go, I’m imagining all the things that could go wrong or could hurt Lily and the baby. Especially now that she’s passed the halfway point. I know it’s much harder for her than it is for me, but knowing she won’t be able to shift if something happened is driving me and Santos crazy. Santos is missing Arya already, even though we let them run together as often as we could. Lily is finding it harder to sit or stand for long periods of time, so she hasn’t painted as much. I am secretly happy she’s mostly at the packhouse, so I know she and the baby are safe. She has decided to paint and decorate the baby room so she at least has something to do. Meadow is helping her and they’ve seem to be gotten close the last few weeks. Lily didn’t really get a chance to hang out with Meadow before and after Meadow was allowed to stay here she kind of shut down. I t
Lily’s pov Osiris had asked, well demanded that Jara and Emma stay at the packhouse with me. Meadow was still staying at the packhouse and Mia had to work, so she couldn’t join Riker. So we had a packhouse filled with girls. After dinner Emma surprised us all with someone who came by to give us massages, face masks and mani’s and pedi’s. “You need to relax more” Emma said, the baby is almost coming and then you won’t be able to have much time for yourself. I loved how Emma thought of this, especially the special pregnancy massage she got for me. My lower back had been killing me and it felt so good to have someone apply pressure there. “During labor your mate can do something similar to ease your contractions” the massagist said. I just nodded, it was feeling so good and I was honestly scared I would start moaning if I opened my mouth. When she was finished massaging my back there was a knock on the door. “Did you invite someone else?” I said as I walked to the door
Osiris’ pov “I am going to kill them all” I shouted. Perhaps I didn’t needed to say this out loud, I was currently having dinner in the dining hall with half of the pack. I stood up, ready to shift, when Riker stopped me. “What is going on? What do you need?” I growled “I am going back home now, you find whatever you can on Alpha Bernard of the Dark Wood pack. He will pay for this.” I left without saying goodbye, I was pretty sure Riker would apologize for me. I needed to be with my mate and baby now. I shifted and ran as fast as I could and let Santos go. I was wrecking my brain, why would an Alpha of another pack come visit us without being invited first. I merely contacted the Dark Wood to check if Meadow was a member of theirs, I didn’t inquire further. Meadow had asked me not to get involved. I knew better than to mess with pack politics and I didn’t want to start another war back then. But at this point I didn’t care if it would lead to a war, an Alpha
Lily’s pov I was so happy Osiris got here in time, I was worried he would miss the birth of our baby. I had been high on whatever drug the doctor had given me and I didn’t mindlink Osiris to keep him informed. I was also too worried about the baby’s safety to think about anyone else. It was so strange, suddenly the most important thing in live was this tiny little human. Who we still hadn’t found a name for. I thought once we met him I would know, but looking at him with all the wires on made it hard to concentrate on anything else. My poor baby, he should have still been inside my belly if it wasn’t for that evil Alpha. What in Goddess name was he doing here anyway? Did he really think I would just hand him Meadow?! Osiris was sleeping, but I couldn’t. I was staring at our baby sleeping in his crib. I wish I could hold him all day, but the doctor explained he needed to rest. Besides I needed to pump every few hours if I wanted to give him something to drink
Osiris’ pov I didn’t just leave to get a shower and some clothing for me and Lily, I also went to the packhouse to talk to Meadow. Emma told me she hasn’t left her room and I want to make sure Meadow isn’t feeling guilty over what had happened. None of this is her fault, it’s that evil bastard and his Alpha’s fault. I grabbed some clothing and noticed some packmembers had brought tiny baby clothing for Asher. He wouldn’t be able to fit in the regular size baby clothing yet, but the human town had some in smaller sizes for preemie baby’s. I made a mental note to thank whoever did this, because it was a really kind gesture. When I finished packing I headed down to Meadow’s room and knocked on her door. “Meadow it’s Alpha Osiris. Can we talk?” It may sound like a request, but when an Alpha ask to talk you aren’t allowed to reject this question. Meadow opened the door, I didn’t want to enter her room. Not only was it inappropriate for me to enter another female’s room,
