The last couple of weeks have passed much faster than I expected.

I thought these final weeks of pregnancy would drag on forever. I have been so anxious to meet my little one that I assumed every single day would feel like a week.

Instead, time seems to have decided to run away from me.

One minute I was finding out I was having a little girl.

Then I was buying furniture.

Then I was decorating the nursery.

And now I am standing in the middle of that nursery, staring at a hospital bag that I have

  • The Heir's Child   Just A Shower

    Being home with Amaani is somehow even more surreal than being in the hospital with her was.Maybe it's because the hospital still felt temporary.There were nurses coming in and out. Doctors checking on us. People constantly reminding me what was happening and what I needed to do.Here, there is none of that.It's just us.Amaani is actually home.My daughter is sleeping in her nursery, in the crib we spent so much time preparing for her. I can rock her whenever I want. I can read to her. I can sit beside her crib and simply watch her sleep.And apparently, I can do exactly that for hours without getting bored.Everything about this room makes me emotional.The little blankets.The clothes folded neatly in the dresser.The stuffed animals waiting for her to grow big enough to play with them.The rocking chair.The crib.All of it was once something I was preparing for.Now she's actually here.This entire pregnancy has been a journey.That's the only way I can describe it.A journey

  • The Heir's Child   Escaping Again

    "Are you ready to go home?"I look up at the doctor, still trying to process her question.Home?Already?I know parents normally don't stay in the hospital forever after having a baby, but somehow the thought of leaving terrifies me.Here, there are nurses.Doctors.People checking on Amaani every hour.If something happens, someone is right there.At home, it will just be me, Raven, and my tiny daughter.I'm supposed to know what I'm doing now.I'm supposed to be her mother.And somehow, that feels much more frightening than giving birth did."Well..." The doctor smiles at me. "I will be honest. You are healing much faster than I would have expected. Almost like you are a werewolf yourself."My stomach drops.I glance toward Raven.The doctor gives us a knowing look before continuing."And with this baby being a werewolf, she is more than ready to get out of here."She pauses.Then her expression changes.More serious."I also heard that there is a small group of werewolves downstair

  • The Heir's Child   More Memories

    Mark was right.Later that night, the exhaustion finally caught up with me.I had been determined to stay awake. I wanted to memorize every little detail about Amaani. The way her tiny fingers curled against my chest. The little wrinkles around her nose. The soft sounds she made whenever she shifted in her sleep.I was terrified that if I closed my eyes, I would miss something.But eventually, even my wolf couldn't fight the exhaustion anymore.One moment, I was watching Amaani sleep.The next, my eyelids felt impossibly heavy.I remember Raven moving quietly around the room. I hear the soft rustling of fabric before I feel her gently lift Amaani from my chest.I want to protest.I want to tell her that I'm not tired.That I can stay awake.That I need to keep watching my daughter.But I don't even have the strength to open my eyes.The last thing I feel is the mattress shifting slightly as Raven settles Amaani somewhere safe.Then everything goes dark.For the first time since I arri

  • The Heir's Child   Amaani

    Seeing this tiny little human laying in my arms is such a surreal experience.I knew that I was pregnant.I knew that I would have a pup.But now that the time is actually here, it feels completely different. Life altering.I have a little being who completely relies on me to survive. Someone who trusts me without question, without hesitation. There is something almost overwhelming about that kind of trust.Honestly, I am slightly envious of it.Raven hasn't left my side since we got here. Not even to go get Mark once I was cleaned up. Instead, she sent him a text and told him to come in himself.When he reaches my room, he stops in the doorway.For a moment, he doesn't say anything.He just stares."You can come in, you know," I say with a tired chuckle."You both just look so peaceful. I don't want to intrude," he says quietly.My daughter is lying on my chest, fast asleep.She hasn't even been cleaned up by the nurses yet. They said it was better to wait a couple of hours before gi

  • The Heir's Child   Not Helpful

    Lyall's POV"River, we are too far away. It is going to take us a couple of days to get there." I say."I know. We are going to get there as quickly as we can. Hopefully, she will not be too far away by the time we get there." She says.I nod as we finish packing our things.Knowing which hospital Rowan is going to be at makes finding her exponentially easier. For weeks, we have been chasing possibilities, following leads that went nowhere, and trying to piece together scraps of information that never seemed to give us enough.Now we finally have something real.A hospital.A town.A direction.We had to mind-link the other two and have them return immediately. They had been out searching for more clues while River and I figured out where we needed to go next.The moment they burst through the doors, they go straight to grabbing their things.There is no hesitation.No questions.They know Rowan is in labor.They know we finally know where she is.And they know that every minute matte

  • The Heir's Child   Labor

    The drive to the hospital is absolute agony.Mark drives while Raven sits in the back seat with my head in her lap. Her fingers move gently through my hair, rubbing my scalp in slow, reassuring circles.To Mark, it probably looks like she is simply trying to comfort me.I know better.Every few seconds, a tiny pulse of magic moves through her fingertips and into me. It does not take the pain away. Nothing could possibly do that.It just makes each contraction a little more bearable."How far away are we?" Raven asks."About fifteen minutes," Mark answers. His voice is tight with worry. "Will she make it that long?"Raven glances down at me.My entire body is tense as I try to breathe through another contraction."Her contractions are close, but I think we have that long. I'm calling the doctor."She pulls her phone from her pocket while continuing to rub my head.The doctor gave us an emergency number months ago, just in case something like this happened. Raven barely gets the call to

  • The Heir's Child   Flashes

    Flashes.That was all I had.Flashes of light.Flashes of voices.Flashes of movement just beyond my reach.Every time I tried to grasp one of the memories, it slipped away like water through my fingers.My head pounded.It felt as though someone had taken a hammer to my skull and then left the pie

  • The Heir's Child   Future plans

    Troy looked far too pleased with himself as we sat around sipping our drinks and talking about all the trouble we'd inevitably get into at college.I still couldn't believe everyone had decided to go.When Lyall and I first made our plans, I'd imagined the two of us facing a new world together. Som

    "On a more serious note," Mel said, lifting his empty glass, "one of us has to go get the next round, don't we?"A collective groan went around the table.We all laughed at Mel's expression.His family was ridiculously wealthy. Not spoiled exactly, but definitely accustomed to convenience. If there

  • The Heir's Child   Last Night Out

    Knowing I wouldn't be allowed to leave until I promised to be careful, I gave my parents the reassurance they wanted before retreating to my room to finish getting ready.Most of my friends were guys, and I usually blended right in with them. Every now and then, though, I enjoyed reminding them tha
