Word spreads quickly in a pack especially when someone (a royal) assaults one of your ranked wolves who just happens to be pregnant with heirs. The pack hospital was already expecting me. They had a gurney waiting for me along with Dr. Adams and a team of nurses.
Pack members started showing up at the hospital to see what they could do to help or assist. Alpha Richard had to send out an alert via the link once again not to come by the pack hospital unless necessary so that the doctors could perform their jobs properly without hindrance. The pack was in an uproar.
Prince Michael had caused within a twenty-four-hour time period an international crisis bordering on a war between two countries and civil unrest within our own country. Alpha King Matthew was going to have to do some major damage control.
As they started taking my clothes off to assess the damage done to me, they tried to put on a hospital gown. No way. I told them I wanted a tank top to wear, a sports bra, and a pair of shorts (or boxers for males with my underwear). That would be easier for them to take care of me. Dr. Adams just made a grunting noise and nothing else. But they did what I wanted.
I had a huge bruise forming between my diaphragm and stomach. It was pretty gross to look at. It was tender to the touch and swollen. Before they could do anything, pictures were taken to prove the assault on my body.
Then, Dr. Adams brought the ultrasound machine in to check on my babies. Also, a blood draw was taken. Everything possible was being done to ensure my babies were taken care of. As he started to perform the ultrasound, that’s when they noticed a trickle of blood on my inner thighs.
Dr. Adams didn’t want to make a big deal out of it but how could he not? He stopped what he was doing in order to address the issue below. I was indeed having a miscarriage, but was I losing one or both babies?
“Delta Melanie, you are having a miscarriage. But I need to finish the ultrasound to see if you lost one or both babies. Okay? I’m so, so sorry,” Dr. Adams sadly stated as he continued to perform the ultrasound.
“I understand Dr. Adams. Please continue,” I sniffled as tears trickled down my cheeks. I couldn’t believe it. I was afraid to look at the ultrasound machine and afraid not to look at it. I needed to look at it to see if I still had a baby. My wolf was silent. She wasn’t talking to me right now, odd.
“Delta Melanie, it appears you only lost one baby. We are going to keep you here today and tonight. You are going to be on bed rest for the remainder of the week. We have to protect the baby at all costs. We must ensure that this baby survives,” Dr. Adams exclaimed vehemently.
“Yes, Dr. Adams. Thank you. Once I’m cleaned up, I need my Father or Mother, please. Also, I need to be with my mate, Anthony,” I wept as the tears continued to fall down my cheeks.
“I will send them in now. We will put you in the same room as your mate,” advised Dr. Adams. “I will update Alpha Richard of your condition.”
I couldn’t say anything so I just nodded. I started to sob as my Dad came into the room. He didn’t hesitate to hold and comfort me as close as he could.
“Mom is on the way. Tucker is bringing her here for you. I am so sorry Mellie,” my Dad sniffled as he held me close.
You could hear my sobs in the hallway. By now, everyone knew that I had lost one of my babies. My Mother arrived and was quickly ushered into my room. She took Dad’s place.
“Oh, my baby girl. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Mommy’s here. Shh … I’ll help you. Don’t you worry about a thing. We will make sure nothing happens to the other baby, okay? Mommy’s here. I’ll help take care of you,” my Mother cooed as she rocked me back and forth just like she did when I was little.
What would I do without my Mom? She is my rock in situations like these. Mom continued to hold me until they came into move me to the room with Anthony.
Anthony was still unconscious but I still didn’t hesitate to crawl into bed with him. I needed his touch to calm me down. I needed him period. I snuggled as close to him as I dared.
When it was time for dinner, I couldn’t eat very much. It made me queasy which didn’t sit right with Dr. Adams. Mom suggested Chicken Noodle Soup, not just any Chicken Noodle Soup, but hers. She was taken home so she could prepare it and bring it back for me. Also, she brought back some chocolate cake too.
I was able to consume some of the soup but the cake not so much. I just couldn’t handle it tonight which shocked me and everyone else. After I had dinner, everyone decided to leave and call it a night since I was tired and was falling asleep.
I awoke to two arms stroking my arms and back lovingly along with kisses being placed on my forehead. It took me a moment to realize that it was Anthony who was the one who was touching and kissing me.
My eyes fluttered open to look into the most gorgeous blue eyes. Eyes I didn’t think I would look into again. He had a soft smile on his handsome face.
“Good morning, beautiful,” cooed Anthony.
“Hey, you’re finally awake. I’m glad you’re finally awake. How do you feel?” I asked him still a little groggy myself.
“Weak. I feel weak but otherwise, I feel okay. How about you? I feel your pain. What’s wrong with the babies?” inquired Anthony.
“I lost one of the babies yesterday. I’m still recovering and it hurts. I just needed to be here with you,” I sniffled as I tried not to break down into tears.
“What happened my love to cause you to lose one of the babies? Was it because of what I did? If it was …” I didn’t let him finish before I interrupted him.
“No, it wasn’t because of you. I was in a meeting with both Alpha Kings when it happened. I was about to walk out the door when Prince Michael barged in without knocking. He knocked me into the wall and down onto the floor. Then, he kicked me in the stomach. I called Alpha Richard and Dad for help,” I explained as the tears fell once again.
“Oh baby, I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you. To help you through all that. How is the other baby? Are they okay?” asked Anthony with his own tears falling down his handsome face.
“The other baby seems to be okay. Dr. Adams has me on bed rest for the rest of the week. He wants to make sure nothing happens to the baby we have left,” I explained to him.
“Once we leave here, I will make sure you are properly taken care of. I don’t want anything to happen to the baby we have left. Okay? I am so sorry that happened to you,” declared Anthony as he continued to hold and comfort me.
“Thank you, my love. I will do whatever is necessary to take care of our baby. I promise,” I purred as I snuggled close to him.
We continued to hold each other and talk. We wanted to make plans or try to make plans for our future. We’ll see if they actually take place or not.
