Marcus POV
I was still on the phone when I heard Maddy cry out in pain. Bryan ! What’s happening ? I shouted through the phone. Everett made his way to my side quickly as he realized how serious it was. I couldn’t make anything out. I stayed on the phone as I spoke to Everett, Get someone on the phone and find out what is happening now !
I was panicked because I wasn’t there. I had to come to this meeting with other Alphas to discuss land and a bunch of bs. I wanted to stay with Maddy and the baby, but she convinced me to come and that she would be fine. Marcus, Clover said they think Maddy is in labor. Everett came over after a few minutes. I quickly hung up the phone and made my way back into the meeting room, Tell Clover we are on the way and that we will be there soon.
Everett nodded before going back to the phone. I apologize for this, but I must be leaving now. My mate is in labor, and I must leave immediately. I announced to the room. All the Alpha’s understood the circumstance and nodded their heads. We will email over everything for you to look over when you are able to, Alpha Max said as I was heading toward the door. I nodded a thanks before taking off down the stairs.
Everett was already at the door waiting for me. He handed me the phone, It’s Dr. Lacy.
I took the phone quickly and started to run out the door. Hello.
Alpha, the Luna is doing fine right now. She still has some time before she will need to push. I would say you have about an hour and half to get here before it’s go time. Dr. Lacy spoke fast but clear. I understood I need to hurry. Thank you, Dr. Lacy. Please tell Maddy I am on my way. With that I hung up and tossed Everett his phone back.
Let’s go. I called to Everett before shifting and taking off into the woods.
I am coming Maddy. Just hold on.
I wasn’t sure how much time had passed when I came running. I had made it to the tree line by the clinic where Bryan was waiting with clothes for Everett and I. How is she ? She hasn’t had the baby yet has she ? I was so worried I missed it all.
She is doing alright just in pain and very mad at you so be prepared for that. And no, she hasn’t had the baby yet. You go here with about 20 minutes before she is supposed to be ready. Bryan said while we walked inside. Everyone bowed their heads as we walked past them.
I was breathing heavy, but I think it was from my nerves. Bryan took us down the hall before stopping outside of a room. I pushed the door open and found Clover hold Maddy’s hand as laid in the bed. I rushed over and took Clover’s spot. Where have you been ?! Never mind you’re here now and that’s what matter. Maddy grabbed my hand and squeezed it as she breathed through the pain.
I am so sorry. I ran as fast as I could. I will make it up to you I promise. I reached forward and kiss her forehead. I looked over and Bryan and my sister. Thank you for helping her.
Of course ! She did the same for me when I needed her. We will be waiting outside. I am sure mom and dad are worried sick as much as everyone else. Clover came and gave me and Maddy quick hugs before leaving the room.
She did have a point. You could tell the pack was bussing knowing their Luna was going to be giving birth to the heir of the pack.
How are you feeling ? Do you need anything ? I wasn’t sure what I should be doing. I just hated seeing her in pain.
I am alright just ready to have this baby. You know I was worried you weren’t going to make it. I was willing to hold on until the very last second waiting for you. I am just glad you made it. Maddy had tears in her eyes as she spoke. It broke my heart that I caused her pain and worry.
I am glad I made it too. I would have beat myself up if I missed this. I gave her a gentle squeeze as Dr. Lacy came into the room.
Hello Alpha. No one notified me of your arrival, or I would have been in here sooner to get you caught up with everything. Dr. Lacy seemed ready to deliver the baby. She was just waiting on Maddy’s body to be ready.
That’s alright. I am here now and won’t be leaving anytime soon. I said never taking my eyes off Maddy.
Well, we should be getting closer to having this baby. I am just going to check to see how far dilated you are Maddy, Dr. Lacy said while getting what she needed. Maddy only nodded as she tried to relax.
It seems you are 9 12 centimeters, so it won’t be too much longer. I am going to go and get the nurses and everything and will be back shortly. If you feel like you need to push, then just push this button. Dr. Lacy pointed to a button on the bed before exiting the room.
I can’t believe we are about to have baby, Maddy looked over to me. I smiled and ran my hand over her hair.
I can’t believe it either. I know you can do this. You will be absolutely amazing as a mother. You have made my life a hundred times better since you have entered it. And I can’t wait to see you continue to grow with me as we take this new step at being parents, I reached over and gave her a quick kiss before wiping a stray tear from her eye.
I love you, Maddy.
I love you too.
Dr. Lacy entered the room a few short minutes later. Alright, let’s have this baby.
Come on, baby, you can do it, I tried to help Maddy as much as I could. I felt awful that I couldn’t take her pain away. Aaaahhhh. That’s easy for you to say. You aren’t having to push a baby out of you. I hide my pain as she squeezed my hand tighter. I just nodded and wiped the hair from her forehead.
You’re doing great Luna. A few more pushes the baby should be out. Dr. Lacy coached Maddy along great. I was proud to have her as the pack doctor.
I don’t know if I can do it. Maddy was getting tired after all the pushing. The baby is almost out. Come on Luna, just one more real good push.
Maddy breathed in and pushed down, Aaaahhhhh !
We heard a cry shortly after, Congratulations ! You did great. Dr. Lacy said while wrapping the baby in a blanket.
Is it a boy or girl. Maddy didn’t seem to care about any pain she might have been in. She was focused on the baby. I thought you two would like to have the first look. Dr. Lacy handed the baby over the Maddy.
