Can You Hear My Heartbeat Novels & Stories

I swallowed the hard lump in my throat, balling my hands into a fist to stop them from shaking. "And your heart. It won't stop racing," Her soft hand found its way to my chest with her gaze still locked on mine, "It is pounding so loud like that of the beating of war drums," A soft gasp rolled off my lips. When I thought I was composed, my body gave me away, shamelessly. How could she hear my heartbeat clearly? Of course, she was a wolf with an adequate ability of hearing.

"I don't think there is, I've been listening and I only hear one heartbeat." I said, trying to diffuse him as quickly as possible. I pulled him into my arms and pressed a kiss to his forehead. Once I finally have him in my arms again the amount of relief that washes over me is unbelievable. He sniffles again as he pulls back and looks at me with those beautiful tear filled eyes. "Really, you only hear one heartbeat?" "Really love, I listen to it almost every night when you're sleeping. I only hear one heartbeat." "You.....You listen to my belly at night?" He says in between his sniffles.

It was like I was a dolphin with an echolocation. Every slight vibration I could visualize as if I was looking at everything within a few yards radius of me. It was new to me, and I didn’t understand it. That was until I saw the slightest beat of Connor’s heart. It was barely there and only happened once, but it was enough to know he was still alive for now. I held my breath to see if it would happen again, and a few seconds later, I could see his heartbeat once more. It wasn’t something I could have heard, even with my enhanced sense of hearing. I doubt even a heart monitor would have registered it.

He hooked it around his neck and looked at me in what I could only describe as professional fascination. “Ella, the crystal has a pulse of its own.” “What?” I pressed my hand to my chest. I felt nothing there. Just my own heartbeat, sure and steady despite everything. Anthony handed the stethoscope to his husband, who listened to my heartbeat for a moment. Just like Anthony, Tony’s eyes widened, and he stood, mouth hanging open. “It’s true. Listen!” Tony said, taking off the stethoscope and handing it to me. I lifted my brows, but placed the stethoscope in my ears and listened while Tony positioned it over my heart—or rather, just above it.

“There is a second heartbeat… she’s pregnant.” I stared at her, unable to move or even say a word. “That’s… not possible. I would have heard it.” She turned to me. “It’s really faint. If you don’t pay attention, you wouldn’t hear it.” I shook my head. “I’m trying, but I still can’t hear it.” “Then calm yourself,” she said, “and listen.” I closed my eyes and pushed the pain and guilt out. I listened with my head, and for a moment I didn’t hear anything.

I ask, unable to wait any longer, needing to know, and thankfully she nods. "I don't hear anything?" I question, worriedly, as before if I really concentrated, I could hear it, hear her, but now, nothing. "It's there, there's a heart beat, but it's just very faint," she explains reassuringly and I smile, finally feeling like I can breathe again. "What in the name of the moon goddess is going on?"

She was probably thinking what kind of a mother was I to not remember my baby's gender. Well, nurse. I would if I knew. "It's a boy?" I asked her again. My blood went rushing to my head when she bobbed her head in a sharp yes. Unless I was experiencing an episode of sudden cardiac arrest, why the bloody hell was my heart beating so loudly? I could feel it all the way up to my throat, thudding against my ribcage. I could even hear it through all the monitoring devices in the room. This is not normal.

It felt like my bones were breaking and reforming and breaking again and I could hear my heartbeat pounding in my ears except it wasn't my heartbeat because it was too slow and too steady and when I focused on it I realized with a jolt that it was Ace's heartbeat. How was that possible and how could I hear his heart when I could barely hear my own thoughts over the roaring in my head.

As I listened in closer, two rapid heart beats were heard inside, racing at my touches. Wait a minute...theirs hearts. I can sense everything about them! It's almost as though they are communicating with me through the beats in their heart. My son and my baby girl.

She asked him in a small voice. “Take all the time you need. Just remember that my heart only beats for you.” He kissed her forehead.
