“You and Racheal go rest, I’ll clean up here.” He says to me.
“Leo-”
“Mira, you’ve been dealing with Racheal for hours in a car. You need some rest. Come get me when she starts to cry and I’ll take her.” He rubs me cheek then starts to sweep
.
There is no changing his mind so I head to my room which is untouched. I place Racheal on the bed and I lay next to her. She examines the roof thoroughly before slowly falling asleep. I want to sleep but am kept awake by my wolf who really wants to go for a run. I tell her to shut up but she won’t, so I just ignore her. I close my eyes and sigh.
What a life.
I open my eyes and notice the sun isn’t shining anymore. I then realize Racheal isn’t beside of me. I begin to panic and I race out of my room.
Where is she? Where is she?! My eyes lock in on Leo and I see that he is holding her. I release a breath I didn’t know he was holding her and walk over to him. He smiles and kisses me. He laughs and looks down at Racheal.
“When I was done, I came in to see you conked out on the bed with ms. Wide-eyed here. She was staring out the window at the moon. She was just too adorable to leave there so I grabbed her up and walked in here.” He says.
I calm down a little bit but I’m still mad that he didn’t tell me. I cross my arms and glare at him.
“I was scared to death! Why didn’t you tell me before you took her out of the room?! I was about to have a mental breakdown!” I yell.
“I’m sorry sweetie. You looked to adorable to disturb… You were flailed out everywhere and had your thumb in your mouth. I honestly wish I had a camera.” He chuckles.
I roll my eyes and grab Racheal . Leo picks me up bridal style and brings us back to bed.
I honestly love this guy.
The next day I heard Leo talking with someone downstairs heading up to my room, I held look to the door when it opens and it was Dickson. I forgot my little princess needs to be check on today.
“Morning Mira”.
“Morning Dickson,” I retorted.
I quickly leave the bed and let Dickson check on Racheal.
“She is perfectly healthy. Her heart and lungs sound good. her staying awake for only a few minutes is normal, Mira. Babies need sleep.” Dickson says while putting his stethoscope in his leather bag.
I sigh with relief then wrap Racheal back up. I pick her up and walk her into the kitchen. I away her side to side until she falls back to sleep then I walk her back into my room and gently place her in her bassinet.
“Sweet dreams, baby girl.” I whisper.
I see Dickson in the doorway motioning me to follow him. We go to the living room then he tells me to lay on the couch. I do as he says and lay on the couch which makes Leo growl. Dickson feels my shrinking baby bump with very cold hands. Why do doctors always have cold hands?
“Has there been anymore bleeding?” He asks casually.
Well… just ask with Leo in the room… geez
“Uh… no… not since yesterday.” I say a little bit nervously.
“Okay. Your good, but if you experience anymore bleeding or discomfort, contact me immediately. Alright?” He stares at me with his green eyes that seem to see right through my soul.
Wow his eyes are green!
I nod then sit up. I hear Leo growl and I look at him in confusion. I then notice me shirt has ridden up enough to see most of my lower stomach. It didn’t bother me, but it sure did Leo. I shoot him a warning glance then look back to Dickson .
I walk Dickson to the door with Leo right behind us. This man is a creeper! He’s kinda scaring me…
Leo’s eyes suddenly glaze over and he freezes. Different emotions are running through his face. Anger, guilt, sadness, worry, and finally relief. Who’s talking to him? He finally looks at me and sighs. What did I do?
“William is coming to visit.” His jaw clenched at William’s name.
I flinch but I know William has changed ever since he found his mate. But no matter how much he changed, he will always scare me in a way. Dickson’s face holds no emotion, he just stares at me, expecting me to say something. I open my mouth then close it quickly. What do I say? “Hey, it’s okay that you raped me!
Please come see Racheal anytime you want!” No!
I wasn’t gonna say that! I don’t hate him but I don’t like him either. I don’t want him in my daughter’s life as a father. Leo has that job.
“Okay, let me get Racheal in something a little bit cleaner.” I walk back inside and debate on whether to wake her up and change her or let her sleep and she can stay in her outfit she has on now.
I’m not going to deal with a fussy baby because I wanted to dress her up. I go back outside and see Dickson trying to calm Leo down. I’ve gotta do something about this. I walk over to Leo and place my hand on his shoulder. I look at Dickson and give him a smile.
“Could you watch Racheal for a bit. I think his wolf needs to cool off for a little while.” I state calmly.
Dickson nods then goes inside. I intertwine our fingers then lead him deeper into the forest. I let go of his hand and he growls.
“I’m gonna strip behind that tree. Don’t you dare peek.” He smirks and I slap him playfully on his chest.
I go behind a tree then take off my clothes. Dang! The wind is chilly.
I let my wolf take over and I feel my bones crack and my gums rip. It hurts more since I don’t get to shift a lot anymore. When I come out from behind the tree, Leo has already shifted into his black wolf. I walk over to him and nuzzle him with my snout. He licks my ear and rubs himself against me.
He’s seriously scenting me? He throw his head back and let’s out a joyous howl. I do the same thing then we both start darting through the forest.
This feels so amazing!! I haven’t shifted into my wolf for months! I feel the wind through my fur and the dirt under my paws. Leo is running beside of me with a wolfish grin. I mentally roll my eyes and bark at him. He barks back then pounces me playfully. We roll on the ground until he has me pinned under him. This position is very uncomfortable. He licks my wet nose then gets off of me. Once he’s off of me I jump at him.
I playfully nip his ear until I’m thrown off his back. He grunts then shakes his head. My tail is wagging and my tongue is sticking out. He cocks his head and stares at me. What? I haven’t shifted in months! My wolf is very crazy today. I take off running and Leo quickly follows.
