Alpha Of Aberdeen novel Chapter 23

Malachi's POV

The doctor looks at me for a second. "We were able to save her, as well. She has a strong heartbeat." The doctor says. Relief washes over me as I fall to my knees sobbing. Paul and Amelia kneel on each side of me, and Amelia hugs me. "You saved her, Malachi," she says, smiling with happy tears. I look up to the doctor to thank him when I realize what he just said.

"It's a Girl?" I question. The doctor smiles "It is very early to tell on the sonogram, but her blood test tells us it's a girl." He says. "Thank you so much, Doctor!" I stand, hugging him a little tight. "Um... Can't breathe!” He whispers, while patting my shoulder. "Oh, sorry, Doc," I declare, letting him go. I notice him looking over my body for a moment. "You must work out a lot to be that strong," He claims. "You might want to run home and find a shirt you're going to have my waiting room flooded by all the ladies drool," He laughs.

I turn to look behind me and see all the women are staring at me, and then I look down at my chest. I had forgotten I was shirtless from shifting. "Yeah, Doc, I'll do that,” I tell him. "I'll come to get you when she is ready to have visitors." He says and walks away.

Chloe POV

I wake up and my eyes are blurry. I look around frantically and realize I’m in a hospital. ‘How did I get here?’ Then I feel so much pain and look down. "Ouch!!!!" I scream and a nurse rushes in. "Miss Anderson! What's the matter?" She asks with worry on her face. "My baby?!" I ask with fear written all over my face. "Miss, the baby, is perfectly fine, thanks to you. You saved the baby by turning to the side when your attacker stabbed you.” She explains and I start to cry.

"Where is my fiancé?" I ask. "He is in the waiting area. He has been here the whole time. You have a good one, and if you don't mind me saying he is a looker too, he had the entire waiting room in awe." She says giggling. "Yeah, that would be him," I say, rolling my eyes. "I'll let them know you are ready for visitors." She says, leaving.

I look up to the door opening, and I flinch; it must be a reflex now. Once I see Malachi's face, I get the biggest smile. He comes to me, hugging me carefully, so he doesn't hurt me. I cup his face with tears falling from his eyes. "Luna, I'm so..." I don't let him finish; I put my finger to his lip to quiet him. "Don't... this was not your fault, and we are alive because of you," I tell him, caressing his cheek, then I bring my hand to his intertwining our fingers.

Malachi smiles. "I can't wait to have you home and no more living alone. You will be moving in with me," He demands. "I have to keep you safe. I will never let anyone hurt you again, Luna, I love you!" He declares. "I will do whatever makes you feel better, Alpha," I say, smiling and squeezing his hand. He kisses my forehead and lays down beside me, cradling my belly. He brings his head to my stomach. "I will always keep you and your mommy safe, my little princess," Malachi whispers. "Wait a minute! Princess?" I question He looks up to me.

"You don't know?" He asks, surprised. "Um... No," I reply. "Well shit, I'm sorry. I didn't know the doctor hadn't told you yet," He apologizes. I get a huge smile. "We’re having a girl!!" I say excitedly. Malachi smirks, then lays back down beside me, holding me while I fall asleep.
