Camilla's POV

Alpha's Hated Mate

Camilla's POV

I think I've been pregnant forever, secretly loving and hating it at the same time, there's no between in it, like this morning, I nearly peed myself, no not nearly, I'm certain I did.

When I made it to the bathroom, my underwear was partially soaked in urine but then, it also has its perks. I know I can have whoever I want waiting on me hand and foot but this is nice, I don't have to ask them, they just do.

Arielle came over this morning, leaving Liam with Tamina just so she could be here with me, rubbing my feet and belly in turn with Kingston.

Nobody let's me do anything, I can't even carry my own plate of food anymore, whenever I'm seen with one, someone will carry it for me and give it back only when I'm sitting down.

I enjoy the lazing around more than I'll admit to anyone, but I think Kingston knows it. The snitch, I still can't believe he called mom, aunt Amaya and Ryan when I killed Jebel.

I don't remember all the details of killing him, I seem to go into a blind haze when I spill blood, focusing solely on seeing more. I feel I should regret it, the state of his dead body wasn't a pretty sight to look at but he deserved everything me and the demons in my head convinced me to do.

To me, he never existed, his betrayal never happened but when I look at Karla, I know it did.

Even now as I sit with her, watching the princess and the frog, her favorite cartoon, I feel a little guilty. I don't blame myself or anyone for what happened, it's the place I was at when it happened that makes me feel guilty.

Karla giggles beside me, she is obsessed with this movie, we've seen it at least three times in the last forty-eight hours. I on the other hand have been feeling uneasy, but I haven't told anyone because they'll overreact but I know it'll pass, it did yesterday and it will today, this baby girl just appears to have a thing for giving me hard days.

Flicking my gaze back to the screen, ignoring the football player inside me, I get a glimpse of Tiana kissing the frog. Hmph, would you look at that, same thing happened to me, I kissed a frog and gave him too much.

“You kissed a frog mommy?” Karla gasps, only then do I realize I was thinking out loud.

“Not exactly, it's a figure of speech, remember we talked about those?” I ask, my hands reaching to tickle her.

Karla giggles, “Yes, cause that would be disgusting.” she scowls, her tongue slightly hanging out her wrinkled face.

“This cartoon is genius,” I tell her, laughing at the face she made.

“And now she is a frog now.” Karla shakes her head, “She could have said she wasn't a real princess.”

Both Karla and I sigh, “Clown.” We snort in unison, but my voice is more quiet than hers.

A phone vibrates on the other side of me, stealing my attention from the Tv screen. I look over to the phones, both Arielle and Mirabelle left their phones with me when they went downstairs to bake. I'm answering both their calls so I answer it, getting up from the bed so I don't disturb Karla's movie.

“Hello, Belle's phone.” I murmur, chewing on the inside of my lip.

“Hello, Moon?” A woman retorts on the other side.

“No, this isn't her. Mirabelle isn't available so if you could just tell me your name that'd be great.” I tell her, noting that it's an unknown number.

“Hmm, mommy you're missing the best part!” Karla giggles.

“Just a minute my love, I'm on the phone.” I tell her. “What was I saying? Ah yes, so who shall I tell her called?”

“Tell her the person she's ignoring called,” she lets out, seemingly mad at me and Mirabelle. I frown, opening my mouth to respond but I'm cut off by a familiar voice.

“Mom, where are my car keys?” he asks, his voice barely audible but clear.

“Ugh,” the woman groans. “Adrian, can't you see I'm busy?” she says, confirming my suspicions of who it is I'm talking to.

“Hello, are you still there?”

“Yes,” I gulp, my voice hoarse and quiet.

“Tell her I said to call me back.” she says, the line going dead with her yelling something at her son.

Belle's phone slips from my hand, dropping to the ground. I gulp, leaning over to grab it but I miss it, my body drops to the ground, landing on my back with a piercing scream, almost as piercing as the pain in my stomach.

“Mommy?” Karla screams.

I want to tell her it's fine, I'm okay, but I can't, I'm unable to find my voice, the pain seems to have swallowed it, tears are now rolling down my cheeks.

Karla continues to cry out for me as I drag myself up against the sofa, my gaze shifts to the bed and I don't see Karla.

Another panic sets in, but when I look to the other side I see her, hands against the wall as she trembles. I'm dumbfounded, the doctor said she wouldn't be able to walk again, but she made it out of bed by herself.

“I'm here,” I whisper.

“I can't walk mommy,” she cries out. “I wanted to come to you but I fell,” she cries out.

I bite on a scream, wanting to call for Belle or Arielle but no sound leaves this room, it's soundproof. My hand stretches out, to Karla, watching her struggle to move. “Stop Karla, you're going to fall.”

The door swings open, revealing Mirabelle and Arielle. “What happened here?” Mirabelle asks, looking at me with concern.

“Karla, call.. ” I trail off, pointing her to where Karla is, unable to continue speaking.

Belle moves quick, picking her up and cradling her. “I'll take her to her room and call her doctor.”

“Mommy?” Karla cries.

“I'm okay sweetie.” I tell, watching Belle leave with her.

Arielle smiles at me, hands crossed over her chest, “You got her to stand by pretending to be hurt? Genius but you just might have scared her.”

“The baby Arielle,” I whisper, my hand pressed against my stomach.

“What?”

“The baby is coming,” I tell her.

Her eyes widened, “No.”

“Yea.” I let out, a screeching scream escaping me once again.

Arielle begins to pace around but stops, helping me off the floor. I'm not due for another two weeks or week, but this is it, it hurts too much. “Don't worry, I'm going to take you to the hospital and everything is going to be okay.” she tells me, imitating my heavy breathing.

“Ah!” I scream, my hand supporting my belly. “No, no I won't make it.” I tell Arielle.

“How far apart are your contractions?”

“I don't fucking know!” I snap, trying not to cry my eyes out.

“Hey.”

That comes from the door, I flicker my gaze there, discerning him and a bouquet of flowers. “What's-”

“She's in labour, she's having the baby.”

“Today?” Kingston's eyes widened, tossing the flowers across the room.

“Now!” I scream.

Kingston is quick to move, swooping me into his arms but that seems to hurt even more. Tears begin to sting, “Put me down, put me the fuck down!” I cry out.

Kingston carries me to the bed, laying me down softly, I close my eyes, trying to cope with my contractions.

“Okay, new plan, find the available gynaecologist and bring them here. It seems like she's having the baby right now.”

“Okay,” he tells her, running out like the room is on fire.

“Come on, breath princess.” Arielle tells me, her hand rubbing my belly. I slap her hand away, imitating her breathing pattern.

“Good, just like we practised. deep breaths,” she urges. “Yes, you're doing great.” she praises, her praise sounding like a taunt in my eyes.

I am at the edge of restraining myself from smacking her across the face when the next contraction hits, ten times harder than the previous ones. I can't help but scream, screaming for God, it hurts. I used to think my menstrual cramps hurt but this shit is a thousand times worse, at least those came seconds apart, these are hitting me all at once.

Arielle mouths something to me, but I can't hear her through my screaming, I shake my head, biting on my tongue to muffle my scream in my mouth.

The door bursts open again, and this time, its the doctor. Maya of all doctors with Mirabelle standing beside her, three nurses coming in right behind them.

Maya approaches me, “Lift your legs for me.” she tells me. With much effort, I do as she asks, my legs crumbling but a nurse comes to hold my legs up, one on each side.

“Someone is excited to meet the world,” Maya grins.

“Oh my God,” I cry out.

“I can already see the head crown so I'll need you to start pushing okay?”

I nod, my gaze shifting to the sound of clicking heels. “Tee,” I cry out in a laugh, glad to see her like she wasn't just here yesterday.

“Alpha, I need you to push now.” Maya instructs, shifting my focus to her.

“You got this Camilla,” Belle tells me.

I nod, taking a deep breath before I push but I stop due to the extensive pain ripping through my vagina. “I can't,” I tell her, looking at Arielle.

Tiana rushes to the other side of me, where the nurse is patting my forehead with a cloth and moves her away. “Yes you can bear,” she tells me, her hand caressing my hair.

“No.” I shake my head.

“Look at me, Bear, you're the strongest person I know, if anyone can do this, it's you. I know it hurts but we need you to push, bear. We need to see this little girl right now. If you don't, she's going to drown in amniotic fluid and all this would have been for nothing, is that what you want?”

I shake my head, crying my eyes out. Tiana nods hastily, “Good, so push, show me how it's done.”

I begin to push once again, everyone cheering me on to get the baby out but I can't seem to push hard enough. Babies shouldn't be this hard to get out, they go in way too easy, I shouldn't have to break my vagina trying to push a baby out, it should be as easy as it was making her.

“That was good, now this time, push harder.” Maya tells me again, I've lost count of how many times she's said it. Telling me just one last push, but it's all been a lie.

“Take it out, take it out! ” I scream. “Please get her out of me, Tee do something.” I plead.

“You can do this Cami, push.” Mirabelle tells me, her voice coming from between my legs.

“I didn't put her in there so why do I have to push?” I cry out, my body dropping once again, caught in between Arielle and Tee.
