Chapter 43 Bringing Baby Home
Hank's wolf was excited but also upset about how his mate was talking to Clara.
It's true he was fond of her, but not in anyway romantic. It was more the way she presented herself.
It was defiantly full of Luna material and she don't even see it yet. "I haven't done anything to-"
"First you take the Beta from me, then you go and steal the Alpha from everyone.. now you have your hands on what's mine. How dare you?" Wyatt's growl from behind her caused Clara to quickly turn around. "Its okay. She don't know what she walked in on, Wyatt."
Hank's eyes left his mate and went to the loving couple. His wolf jumped for joy in his head. "She was healing me!" he snapped his eyes back to his mate. "Wyatt here broke my nose, and she healed it."
"Why would he break your nose? Wyatt-"
"Ive come to learn that there's now two Alphas here.. he's one of your Alpha's now dear mate." Hank seen the evident shock on her face as she looked over at Wyatt and Clara.
"But-But he's a Beta!" Stacey told him! Hank shook his head. "Part Beta, he's half Alpha, and so is his mate. When she marked him...he was no longer a Beta. I'm surprised you didn't feel the shift in his aura."
Stacey looked back at the two who were looking at one another, paying no mind to anyone around them. "You never answered my question. He's not the type to get angry.. No- Alpha Noah is. Why did he hit you?"
"That's not for me to discuss!" when Clara looked back at him, he smiled at her with a nod. He then walked past everyone then over to his mate. "What's your name? I'm Hank!"
Stacey felt heat rise in her cheeks for the first time in her life. "Stacey, I'm a Delta!"
His eyebrow rose, he picked up her hand and lifted it to his lips. "Beta blood lovely Stacey."
"Lets go, I want to see my baby!" Clara said grabbing Wyatt's hand pulling him to the elevator. "Our baby.." Wyatt whispered into her ear. "Today she's mine, screw you and Noah."
Clara's cheeks heated when she realized what she said. "You won't, so that kinda not our fault sweetheart." Wyatt told her pushing the button to the lift. Brandon burst out laughing.
"Don't start with me, or you'll never get it again." she narrowed her eyes at him. Wyatt's face fell at her words, only causing Brandon to laugh harder.
"Gosh I love you.." Brandon said wiping his eyes. Clara smiled at him "I know."

About a week later the boys and Clara were standing in the hospital room while their infant daughter sat in a carseat. The doctor said if she passed this test and could sit there for an hour without difficulty they could take her home.
Noah checked his watch, it's been 57 minutes and he's about to pull his hair out if Clara don't stop pacing the floor.
"We're walking home, I don't get why we have to do this!" Wyatt rolled his eyes. "Because it's required for her to be released."
"I hate this place.. I only come here as often as I do because of her!" Judy who was in the room had to stifle a giggle by covering her mouth.
Noah pulled his mate down onto his lap when she stopped pacing, and faced her. "You need to stop it, you've been in a mood all day." he chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Clara closed her eyes and took in his scent to help calm her.
He was right though, her wolf was making her mood swings worse, she knew why and all she kept telling her was 'tonight you'll find out'
"Clary still not telling you anything?" Wyatt asked looking up from his phone. "Nope! Bitch, is keeping her secrets.."
Wyatt chuckled at her. "You know you pretty much called yourself a bitch!"
Both Clara and Judy stared at him, "Did you just call me a bitch?" she asked him, getting off of Noah's lap and standing beside Judy.
Wyatt looked over at Noah who was staring at the two women in disbelieve "No, I would never!" I tell her and she just narrows her eyes at me.
Judy and Clara both cross their arms at the same time, before looking at eachother. "I think I need a new mate, Judy! Would you like him?"
Wyatt's mouth dropped. "No thank you, if he can sit there and call you a bitch... I could only imagine what he'd call me." Judy said placing her hand over her heart.
"Goddess help him!" Noah mumbled as he laughed "Ladies I think you've tortured him enough.."
"No I can keep going." Clara said, evident humor now on her face.
Wyatt stood up "wait so all that was an act?" He watched as both girls nodded their head a smile on their faces. "That wasn't funny."
Clara walked up to him and pushed him back into the chair, placing both her hands on the arm rests of it. "Then next time, don't ever tell a girl-"
Wyatt leaned up quickly and cut her off with a kiss "it won't happen again" he told her pulling away.
Noah stood up while those two kept talking quietly, and went over to his little baby. "She's ready to go when you are." Judy told him handing him the papers to sign.
He quickly signed his name and gave them back. He grabbed her bags while he motioned for Wyatt to grab the carseat. "Are you ready to go home?" Wyatt asked like the baby could reply back, as he picked her up.
"Give me that!" Clara told Noah taking a bag from him, as it seemed he couldn't carry them all.
When they got downstairs they all noticed it was snowing. Wyatt grabbed an extra blanket from one of the bags and bundled the baby up so she couldn't get cold.
"Looks like we're gonna have a white Christmas this year" Noah pointed out, as they all walked outside. The boys both noticed that Clara didn't seem to be affected by the sudden drop in temperature like they were.
She was just strolling along with her jacket falling off of one of her shoulders, giggling as snowflakes fell on her face.
When Wyatt made it to the front door he fished his keys out and tried to unlock the door as quickly as possible, he was shivering.
"big baby," Clara mumbled as she took the keys from his shaking hands and easily unlocked the door.
"It's freaking cold outside. How are you not cold?" Noah asked as he set the bags down and rubbed his hands together and blew into them.
Clara shrugged her shoulders. "I guess when you're carried through freezing temperatures for hours, you kinda become used to it."
"What are you? Some kind of witch?" Wyatt joked as he watched her bend down to take Bailey out of the carseat. "Maybe.." he chuckled at her response.
"Welcome home peanut" she said as she snuggled the baby to her and stood up.
Noah walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, he placed his face in the crook of her neck taking in her scent. For some reason it instantly aroused him, making him pull her closer.
"Noah stop" Clara said trying to get out of his grip. Clara turned to him when she picked up his arousal, then she felt the bulge against her back. "Noah, let me go."
"You smell mouthwatering," Noah mumbled placing a kiss against her neck. "You don't let me go, you gonna wish you had." his hands went in the air a small smile on his face.
"Sorry, but your scent is really alluring tonight." Noah told her. "I don't care. You keep trying to persuade me like that, I won't ever sleep you again." Clara winked at him as she went up the stairs.
"Damn vixen" Wyatt said standing beside him and offering a chip from the bag he was eating.
**********
Later that night Wyatt and Noah were out patroling, but promised to be back around midnight. Clara was in bed tossing and turning, her skin felt like it was on fire.
She groaned and got up going into the bathroom, she turned the tub on wanting to soak in cold water. As it filled she went and checked on Bailey.
Seeing she was sound asleep she went back to the bathroom and stripped her clothes off. The moment her skin touched the cold water she sighed in content.
But it didn't last long because the water began to heat up "Clary, what's going on?" Clara asked her wolf. "You haven't figured it out?"
Her brows pinched together in confusion as she thought, then it hit her, "now you got it, they'll be home soon"
Clara ran a hand through her wet hair, well this explains why they couldn't keep their hands off of her all evening. And why she was suddenly so hot today.
As she was settling into the tub Clara heard the front door open. She sat there and just waited, she no longer had the energy to want to get out.
When they walked into the bedroom their scent hit her almost instantly making her skin crawl. She's been careful not to undress around them, but she knew they would get glances here and there.
But tonight it would be inevitable. "Clara?" Noah's voice sounded strained, almost like he was holding himself back. He was on the other side of the bathroom door, it was cracked but he didn't enter.
Neither of them did.
"In here" I told them. I knew they smelt it.
Clary let me go all day, when I could have mentally prepared myself for this. "We come in we won't be able to hold back." Wyatt said.
I lifted my hand up and it grazed along my nipple, I actually had to suppress a moan from the sensation it shot through me. "I know."
The bathroom door was pushed opened and there stood both Noah and Wyatt. Lust blazing in both of their eyes, it warmed my body even more.
The arousal coming from them enticed my own, I don't think we would be getting much sleep tonight if they had it their way.
