Alpha Of Aberdeen novel Chapter 24

Malachi picks me up and carries me to the car, telling Paul to drive. Once we are in the car, I feel cramping again. "Did your water break?" Malachi asks. I give him a look that could kill. "NO! Don't you think your lap would be wet?" I snap, then I feel bad and grab his hand. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to be mean," I say, apologizing. "Luna, don't be sorry. I know you didn't mean for it to sound that way." He tells me. I give him a slight smile as a contraction comes through again. "HOLY HELL!!" I scream. Malachi looks to Paul in the rearview. "Come on, Paul, go faster," He demands. Paul speeds up.

We pull in, and Malachi carries me in." "My wife is having a baby; please help!" He says frantically. I look up at him and smile. "Did you just call me your wife?" I ask. He looks at me and grins. The nurse brings a wheelchair and tells me to sit. I feel foolish in a freaking wheelchair. "Um... I can walk or have my big scary man back there carry me," I say, laughing. The nurse laughs too.

"It's hospital protocol, you have to be in a wheelchair if you have a contraction." She explains, “But I would let him carry instead me too," she says, batting her eyes. I give her a look like bitch I will knock you the fuck out being pregnant and all. "You do realize I'm pregnant with that man's child, right? Like he's not just my bodyguard or something! Why do all these girls think it's okay to tell me how hot my freaking man is?" I say aggressively. "I'm sorry, Miss. It's just it's hard not to notice how..." I cut her off. "Zip it, lady!!!" I snap and she shuts up really quick.

We reach the room, and the nurse leaves me with my wolfman, and I glare at him. "What?" He shrugs. I roll my eyes, looking away. "Oh, come on Luna, you know I only want you" He smiles. "I know, but I'm fat now," I say with a frown. "Hell no, Luna! You are the sexiest woman ever; even pregnant you are still just as sexy. Do you not remember what you did to me in the office" He smirks, making me laugh.

"I love you, crazy wolf," I say, then I realize that the pain has stopped. "Hey, the pain has stopped," I tell Malachi. He looks at me, bewildered. "So, the baby isn't coming?" He asks, a little disappointed. "I don't think so," I mutter. We look at each other dumbfounded.

"Hello, Miss Anderson," Dr. Bloom says. "Hi, I think it was a false alarm, Doctor," I tell him. "Yeah, if your water hasn't broken and you are not having contractions, it's just your body getting ready for birth. They can be very similar pains," Dr. Bloom explains. "Okay yeah, I feel fine now. This is so embarrassing," I say, putting my face in my hand. "It is normal we have so many that come in for Braxton hicks." Dr. Bloom says. "You are safe to go home. If the pains come back again and don't go away, come back," He says. "Thank you!" I tell him and Malachi helps me up. We head back to Amelia and Paul in the waiting area.

While we are heading home my phone rings. I slide it to answer. "Hello?" I say. "Aunt Chloe! How are you doing?" Kali asks. "I'm well ready to have this baby," I tell her. She laughs. "I felt that way at the end too. Once you have her, you will feel so much better, plus you have your baby in your arms, and with the way her mama and daddy look, she is going to be so gorgeous." Kali says with a smile in her voice. “Aww, Kali, that’s so sweet,” I reply. "When are you going to bring Colette to see me?" I ask. "Hopefully soon," she says. "I can't wait to hold her," I tell Kali. "I know I can't wait for her to meet you too," Kali declares. "Well, I’ll let you go, talk soon," Kali says. "Okay, Kali, love you!" We hang up.

Malachi looks at me with sincere eyes, and grabs my hand, kissing the back of it. "I know you miss your family," He declares as we pull into the packhouse. I get out of the car with Malachi helping and we walk inside. I go towards the living area where my whole family Kali, Marley, Kaden, Claire, and Ben Jump from behind the double doors. "SURPRISE!!!" They all yell. I fall back from being scared, but Malachi's strong arms catch me. "Oh my gosh, Chloe!" Marley shouts. "I'm okay," I laugh and run to hug them all.
