Marinette Sinclair I sigh loudly as I shift in my seat as I attempt to make myself more comfortable. It’s a bit hard to get comfortable with the huge baby bump that crushes all of my insides.I feel the baby kick me again and I huff as I place my hand on my stomach and it kicks me right in the center of my hand as if it’s saying hello.I smile softly at the thought of the baby trying to communicate with me already. I rub my belly as I try to soothe the pain, I’ve felt all day.If I had a choice, I wouldn’t be in this limo on the way to a charity gala. But when I told my stepmother, Lilith, the way I felt, she screamed at me saying that we had a charity gala tonight and it’s our job as the “Sinclair family” to be at this social event.I roll my eyes at the thought of our argument. Lilith makes me wish I wasn’t a part of the ‘Sinclair family’.

Walter Sinclair I rush inside the hospital after parking our car. I push through paparazzi as I hurry to get inside and I’m grateful for the security that won’t allow those vultures inside.When I walk in, I notice my wife, Lilith screaming and I see Marinette on the stretcher, unconscious as she gets pushed behind a set of doors.I rush over and see a paramedic blocking Lilith as he tells her, “Ma’am, you are not allowed past this point.”I listen as she scoffs, “Do you know who I am?”Spoiled bitch, I can’t believe the way she is behaving.The paramedic is exhausted already from dealing with her and says sternly, “It doesn’t matter who you are. You are not allowed past these doors.”I hurry my steps; I need to see Marinette. But the man blocks me and says, “I’m sorry, sir, no one is allowed past this point.&rd

Alpha Chase Croft I sent Lauren and Arie home after we waited another 3 hours and never saw her parents. Arie thanked me and Lauren mumbled incoherently, lost in her need for sleep.It wasn’t until the next morning when I saw Walter Sinclair walk into the hospital with another man in a business suit by his side.My eyebrows furrow, that’s an odd sight to see. I wonder where his wife is, I haven’t seen her since before the blood draws last night.I continue to wait and after half an hour I watch as the two of them leave and I can’t help but notice that Walter looked distressed. I wonder what’s going on.What if Marinette lost the baby?No, if that happened, I bet he would be there comforting his daughter. I huff as I cross my arms and continue to wait. I don’t know what else to do, I can’t go back home, not without her. I’ve waited far too long for my mate to leave

Marinette After I fed Marigold, she fell asleep, and I placed her in the bassinet so I could get a little nap too. I am absolutely drained from the events of today, but looking at her, I’d do it all again. But I can't help the pain in my heart knowing that right now it is truly just the two of us. She doesn't have a father. His parents shunned me when they found out I was pregnant, so she doesn't have them as grandparents. My dad doesn't think I'm his kid, so she doesn't have him either! My lip quivers at the thought of how alone we are. I lie my head back and fall I into a hard sleep and only woke up from Marigold crying and I fed her and put her back down. This happened on and off throughout the night until I woke up to Nurse Evelyn walking into my room. She looks at me with a smile and asks, “How are my two favorite girls doing?”I smile, “We survived our first night, so not too shabby, if you ask me.” “Was Mr. Croft able to help you wit
