A Miracle

Clara awoke suddenly from a restless sleep and felt like her stomach acid was rising. She tried to control her thoughts, as most acid reflux flares up when the sufferer has too much on their mind, coupled with an empty stomach.

"But this feels so nauseous. I'm going to the kitchen today to fill my stomach before my acid reflux worsens," Clara muttered.

She got out of bed and started to go to the kitchen. But before she could take a step towards the exit, the feeling on her face intensified and made her want to vomit. She rushed to the bathroom.

At the same time, Sierra was about to enter her room next to Clara's. Sierra heard Clara's voice vomiting.

"Clara, are you okay?" asked Sierra, who opened the door to Clara's room and looked inside.

However, there was no answer from Clara; she continued to vomit until it sounded like a pretty severe nausea condition. Sierra got worried and knocked lightly on the bathroom door.

"Hello, Clara, are you okay?"

Clara heard Sierra's knock and hurriedly opened the door.

Clara nodded weakly. "I just feel sick. Maybe I ate something wrong."

Sierra didn't seem convinced. "Wait here. I'll call Daniel."

A short time later, Daniel came to Clara's room after Sierra called him. The man was both concerned and panicked.

"Do you have acid reflux?" asked Daniel, who had known since childhood that Clara had a history of the condition.

Clara nodded and limped into a chair.

"Take it easy, I'm just a little nauseous, Daniel. There's nothing to worry about."

Daniel didn't want to take any chances. "I'll call the pack doctor. I don't want to ignore this, Sierra said your vomiting sounds bad."

"Daniel, I'm fine," Clara tried to reassure him, but Daniel had already left the room to call the doctor.

Sierra raised an eyebrow and her shoulder as she lifted her lips, "You won't be able to dissuade Daniel, you know how stubborn he can be sometimes," Sierra continued.

Clara sighed, "Yes!"

Moments later, the pack doctor arrived with his bag of equipment. As Clara got ready and sat on the edge of the bed, she felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden attention on her. The doctor, a middle-aged woman with a friendly face, began to examine Clara.

"Do you feel nauseous all day or just occasionally?" the doctor asked as she checked Clara's blood pressure with a stethoscope.

"Just tonight," Clara replied quickly.

"What about any fatigue, body aches or other changes?"

Clara thought for a moment. She had been feeling more tired than usual lately, but she thought it was due to stress.

"Just tired from my own thoughts, I know that would trigger my acid reflux, right?"

The pack doctor nodded slowly and took out a test pack, "Test your urine with this. The instructions are on the back of the pack. You read it. I just need to confirm my diagnosis."

Clara was slightly surprised and frowned as she held the test pack shakily. Then she went into the bathroom. Just then, the pack doctor examined Clara's blood sample.

"Double line? Is this test kit broken? It can't be." Clara said, getting nervous, and decided to go out and ask the pack doctor.

Clara gave the test results, and the pack doctor smiled. "I don't know how to say it; you are pregnant."

The room was silent. Clara looked at the pack doctor in disbelief. "What? No way. It's- it's hard for me to believe, because the previous pack doctor said that I was infertile."

The pack doctor smiled again. "I understand your reaction. But based on the test results and counting the day of your last period, your pregnancy is already in its third week."

Time seemed to stand still for Clara. Third week? That meant she was pregnant before Robin rejected her.

"Sometimes miracles happen, Clara. Your body may need some time to recover. Whatever the cause, you have nothing to worry about because your fetus is healthy," the pack doctor explained again.

Tears welled up in Clara's eyes. Mixed emotions, shock, confusion, happiness, and deep sadness because Alpha Robin should have heard this good news firsthand. Unfortunately, Alpha Robin did not turn his head when he left the pack, let alone listen to it.

Meanwhile, Daniel returned to Clara's room to ask the pack doctor about her condition and to confirm it.

Sierra and the pack doctor gave Daniel a serious look.

"Why, what is Clara's condition...?"

Sierra smiled and replied, "Relax, she's fine."

Sierra smiled and replied, "Take it easy, she's fine."

The pack doctor chimed in, "She's pregnant. Vomiting and severe nausea are common, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy."

Daniel's eyes widened. "Pregnant?" He could hardly believe what he had just heard.

The Pack Doctor nodded. "I think she still needs time to process everything. She's also very surprised."

After the pack doctor left, Daniel led them to the gate, Clara still sitting on the edge of the bed, accompanied by Sierra.

"Make sure she gets all her nutrients and don't think too much, give her enough rest, too," the pack doctor explained to Alpha Daniel.

Then Daniel returned to Clara's room. He approached Clara, who was crying with emotion and sadness.

"You are not alone in this, there is me and Sierra."

Clara sobbed. "I don't even know how this happened, Daniel. I was diagnosed with infertility. And - now? What do the Moon Goddesses have in store for me?"

Daniel grabbed her hand and held it tightly. "Clara, listen to me. You don't have to think about that right now. What matters is that you and the baby are okay, okay?"

There was warmth in Daniel's hand, which made Clara feel a little stronger. She hadn't realized how hard Daniel tried to keep himself from expressing his feelings.

Clara looked gratefully at Daniel. "You've always been good to me, Daniel. I don't know how I can ever repay you for everything you do."

Daniel stammered and scratched his neck awkwardly. "I only did what I had to do, Clara. You mean a lot to me and Sierra."

Clara didn't notice the emotional tone in Daniel's words. She just smiled weakly and nodded. Then she hugged Daniel. Sierra understood the situation and quickly left to make room for them.

Daniel couldn't help but want to say something, something he had been suppressing for years. But the words remained on the tip of his tongue. He didn't want to add to Clara's burden right now.

"Thank you, Daniel. I'm sorry I ever left here just to pursue my ambitions. I should have realized that the most comfortable and safest place is here." Clara said, still hugging Daniel.

"It's okay, the most important thing right now is that you are happy so that the baby in your womb is happy too."

Clara felt the warmth of the Dark Moon pack. Especially when she was with Daniel, she always felt calm and peaceful.

The next day, Sierra got ready to go to the Academy. She taught the cubs there. Then Sierra approached Clara again in her room.

"Is it okay if I stay?" Sierra asked to be sure.

Clara nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I can ask an Omega for help if I need it, I'm fine."

Sierra nodded and hugged Clara.

"Bye Clara!" she said and stepped out the door with the cheerfulness in her character.

Clara walked down the stairs to the downstairs diner for breakfast. She was so focused on walking that she didn't notice that Alpha Daniel, who seemed in a hurry, had bumped into her.

Clara almost fell because she bumped into Alpha Daniel's body, who had been concentrating on the watch in his hand until he didn't see Clara's existence, which was also about to fall.

Then Alpha Daniel quickly grabbed Clara's body, which almost fell into his arms. The two of them looked at each other again.

"I'm sorry, Clara. I didn't see you before. A-are you okay?" asked Daniel, stuttering, his face slightly sweaty and his heart beating fast.

The woman's hand was right on Alpha Da.

Niel's chest. Realizing that Clara could probably feel his heartbeat, Daniel was a little concerned and quickly excused himself.
