Chapter 25

It was all rather strange, and as soon as Tommy realized what had happened to me he wanted the doctor to examine me again.

"It is strange that only a few hours ago she was pretty hurt, but it does look as if all your injuries are healed." The doctor tells us looking over my x-rays.

"But you said it would take a few days for her to heal, so how did she heal so quickly?" Tommy asks, his voice leaking of concern.

"Well, most of us heal rather quickly thanks to the healing powers our wolves provide. However, since you had not shifted in so long Maya I did not expect your wolf to be strong enough to heal you as quickly as normal. Also, even if your wolf had not been dormant, with your injuries it still should have at least taken a day for you to heal. It seems your injuries were healed in only a couple of hours. That is very unusual." The doctor seems confused.

"We completed our mating bond, could that have caused the rapid healing?" I ask her.

She turns and gives Tommy a scowl. "I thought we had discussed that she needed time to rest and heal. So why did you complete the mate bond while she was in such a state?"

Tommy looks away with a guilty look on his face, as if he has just been scolded by the principle. I chuckle to myself a little at this, he looked really cute right now.

"Doctor it was my idea, I asked him to do it." I admitted shyly.

"You could have threatened him, and he should still have denied you." The doctor said scolding Tommy once again. "Anyway, that would not have any effect on your healing. I will have to do some research on the subject, but you seem well healed and should be able to continue your regular routine."

I give Tommy a smile and give his hand a reassuring squeeze. He still seemed worried for me, but there was nothing more that could be done until the doctor was able to tell us more. We thanked her and headed back to Tommy's room.

"Let's not worry until the doctor tells us there is something to worry about, ok? Besides isn't it a good thing i am all healed?" I ask Tommy.

He seems deep in thought and agrees quickly, but i am sure he is not really listening. We are walking hand in hand but when I saw how Tommy was stuck in his thoughts I stop walking causing him to be pulled back a little and breaking him from his trance. He looks at me in confusion, and I simply smile at him and turn us to face each other. I release his hand and instead place both my hands on either side of his face and pulled him down to face me.

"There is nothing to worry about yet, so please let's just enjoy this time together. We go back to classes tomorrow, and I really want to spend time with you." I tell him.

His expression softens at my words and I lean in and plant a soft kiss on his lips. He smiles wide and takes my hand again and leads me to the kitchen. When we arrive there is no one around, suddenly he lifts me up and sits me on the counter. I let out a squeal of surprise, which makes him laugh. When i am safely seated he stands between my legs and wraps his arms around my waist.

"What would my beautiful mate like to eat, you must be hungry." He says smiling.

"Hmmm, yes I think I am hungry. I will love anything you make me!" I tell him

"How does pancakes sound?" He asks looking up at me.

"Sounds yummy, and if you add some chocolate chips I will love it even more!" I say happily.

"A chocolate fan huh?" He asks turning and heating up a pan.

"Mhm! I love chocolate! For me it is basically its own food group!" I say proudly.

"Good to know. I will make sure to treat my mate to a lot of chocolate in the future!" he says teasing.

"If you do, I will for sure fall for you." I reply.

"You mean you have not fallen for me already?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.

I decide to make him sweat a little and act like I am thinking really hard, but in truth I had fallen for him soon after we met. I wasn't about to tell him that though, not yet. When I didn't answer right away he walks back toward me and positions himself between my legs again and gives me the most infuriatingly cute face.

"What?" I ask him.

"Have you really not fallen for me?" he says almost begging me to reassure his ego.

"Have you fallen for me?" I ask slyly.

"Since the moment I saw you." He says easily.

Of course, I could not hold back a smile when I heard his words. He was a smooth talker for sure, and as much as I wanted to drag this out I was already melting in his arms.

"You really know to make a girl smile." I tell him.

"I always want to make you smile love, always!" He responds and I can't stop the blush that fills my cheeks.

"Uhhh, will you two please get a room!" The sound of Will's voice as he enters the kitchen, ruins the sweet moment.

Tommy pulls away from me and turns to his friend.

"I am sure you are just as bad as me when it comes to Annie." Tommy fires back.

I look at Will with suspicion. "You and Annie, are you two...?" I begin to ask.

"Mates?" Will finishes for me.

I nod at his question, well my question.

"Yeah we are." He says proudly.

"What? Really?" I ask surprised. "What are the odds of that? I am so happy for you two!"

"Thanks, who knew that all it would take for me to find my mate would be Tommy's dumb plan to keep you safe." Will says with a laugh.

He opens the fridge and takes out a bottled water and turns to give us a cocky smile.

"Make sure you clean up when you’re done!" He says giving Tommy a wink.

"Aye! What are you saying you punk?!" Tommy yells after him.

He lets out an annoyed grunt before turning back to me.

"Sorry, he doesn't have much of a filter." He says turning back to the stove.

"It's ok, I am excited to hear about him and Annie! They actually look really cute together. Actually, they will make really cute babies too." I say with a giggle.

"I can't even begin to imagine Will as a father, he is way too immature." Tommy says with a scoff.

"Maybe, but I think all men are immature until they see their child." I say simply.

Tommy looks at me like I stabbed him in the heart.

"Are you saying I am immature?" He asks.

"Like I said." I respond simply.

"How dare you!" He says pretending to be hurt by my words before rushing toward me and throwing me over his shoulder.

"Hey! What about the pancakes?" I yell as he carries me up the stairs and back to his room.

"Pancakes can wait! I need to show my mate just how mature I can be!" He says teasingly.

"You realize you pouting and getting upset about this just proves my point!" I respond fighting him to put me down.

"Well, I guess we will find out how mature I am when we have our first pup!" He says finally dropping me on his bed.

I look up at him in shock. He wants to have a baby? Already?!

"Wait Tommy let's talk about this for a second!" I try to bargain with him, but he is determined.

"Let's see who had the cuter babies!" He says before climbing on top of me.

Wait?!!!!!
