Chapter 32.
Estella’s POV.

*5 months later*

I roll out of bed just as the sun comes up, a knock on the door startles me. It seems like everything irritates me lately, I only have 6 weeks left and I can’t wait till this is over with. I waddle over to the door opening it to see Amelia with a big bowl of fruit.

“Well good morning, don’t you look lovely.” She says mocking me while she giggles as I shoot her dirty look before waddling to the bathroom to pee.
“What are you doing today?” I ask as I hear her land on my bed with a thump.
“I was going to go to the garden to practice my magic, do you want to join? I’m pretty sure Steele is working with the warriors today so it will just be Clover and I.” She says softly as I walk out of the bathroom climbing on to the bed with her.

“I’m not sure I’m feeling really achy today.” I answer grabbing pillows to tuck under my gigantic belly.
“Well you’re at the end now, so I wouldn’t expect any less.” She says with a giggle earning her another dirty look.
“I need to go to the doctor soon, do you want to come with me?” I question as she nods excitedly jumping up from the bed.
“Yes! I can meet Clover this afternoon.” She finishes while getting up going to my closet pulling out a long olive green maxi dress with a slit up the side.

“This will look so good on you, it will make your eyes pop.” She walks over placing it on the bed as I struggle to get up.
“Only thing I want popping is this belly.” I respond making her giggle again as she helps me in to the dress. She’s been opening up lot more since coming to stay in the pack, she smiles now and actually starts conversations with other people instead of just answering when people talk to her. I wish we could have grown up together, at least then I would have had someone to relate to.

I sit on the table in the Alpha wing waiting for the doctor to come in when I get a sharp pain through my belly making me jump, Amelia comes over placing her hands on me to feel the baby.
“What’s wrong, are you ok?” She asks as the door swings open and the doctor walks in.

“Hello Luna, we’re getting close so lets take a look and see how everything is.” She says walking over to me.
“She’s been having pains all morning.” Amelia tells her making me scowl in return.
“Ok well lets see what’s going on.” The doctor says pulling out the ultrasound, she looks over everything as I listen to the small heart beat and watch the little movements on the screen.

“Well Luna I think you are in early labour.” She wipes the wand off as my heart sits in my throat and I feel sick.
“WHAT! It’s too soon.” I say holding my belly.
“Well werewolf babies grow quicker so it should be ok, and you don’t seem to be progressing very quickly so it may be a few days still.” She says while writing in my chart and I feel light headed, I’m in labour. This baby will be here sooner then I thought, my heart beat picks up as I notice Amelia smiling brightly.

Amelia takes me home canceling her plans with Clover so we can set up the last of the nursery, I mind link Collin letting him know what’s going on as I get another sharp pain making me stop, holding on to the dresser for a few moments before being able to move again.

Collin comes busting through the door making me smile happily.
“It’s almost baby time!” He says excitedly wrapping his arms around me tightly.
“Almost, I’m not in active labour yet so we have a little bit.” I answer as Amelia walks back in carrying a basket of clean baby clothes and blankets.
“Ok, ok time. We have time.” He repeats making me laugh. We spend a while going through little clothes folding them and putting them away, we continue talking about names as well, seeing as we still haven’t picked one.

Doctor Marlowe should be here soon, we’re doing a home birth so Collin had one of the spare rooms turned in to a birthing suite. Since we cloaked our land there hasn’t been any issues, it’s given us time to learn more about the rogues and their leader Rick, we still aren’t sure what he wants outside of my sister and I to build his army of the new species which is still less info then I’d like. Loral visits nightly, having the door from my spell room to hers has been super helpful, she’s been really good through this whole pregnancy which I’m really grateful for.

I turn to pickup one of the small pink teddy bears from the crib as I feel a pop and gush making my heart pound.
“I think, I think my water just broke.” I say softly as Amelia squeals and Collin’s face goes white.
“You said we had time!” He says taking my arm as I start laughing.
“I thought we did.” I exclaim through my giggles.

Amelia and Collin help me to the birthing suite as Collin calls Doctor Marlowe, contractions start to become more even and lasting longer each time as I jolt and move in pain with each one. Amelia calls Loral as she comes rushing in seconds later grabbing my hand.
“Are you ready to meet your daughter?” She asks with a big smile as Collin moves to the other side of me and Doctor Marlowe finally comes in putting gloves on.

“It’s baby time!” She says as I move again sharply, sweat pours off me and my breathing becomes erratic and I know it’s almost time. A few more moments pass before Doctor Marlowe commands me to push and I listen, doing as she says. Knives turn in my pelvis as the pain erupts through me, tearing me apart.

One more contraction and I hear her scream, her little cry’s fill the room and I feel tears pour down my face.
“Is she ok? She’s crying that means she’s ok right?” I ask as Doctor Marlowe checks her out weighing her before handing her to me with a little blanket to place over us.

She’s so beautiful, her thin dark hair covers her little head, I run my finger along her face as her small hand wraps around it and my heart melts. Collin moves closer placing his hands behind her as Amelia just watches in awe. We admire the baby while people slowly leave the room and Collin and I don’t even notice.

We are stuck in a trance watching her perfect little face twist before she cry’s and I try feeding her.
“I love her, she’s perfect.” Collin says never taking his eyes off her.
“You did amazing.” He continues making me smile softly still watching my perfect little baby suckle away.

The door opens softly as neither of us bother to look up, a large man walks in and Collin’s head snaps up catching his scent.
“Rogue.” He leaps over my bed and my heart races, I try to get up as I scream for Loral. My heart pounds in my ears and I clutch the new little baby too me. The rogue jams a needle in to Collin making him fall to the floor in a heap, then the man walks over to me and I step back to the corner.

“Collin lays paralyzed on the floor as I struggle to mind link Steele realizing I’m too weak, the man goes to grab my arm causing me to flinch away.
“Aren’t you a pretty little thing.” He says scooping me up in his arms as I push back trying not to hurt the baby.
“Let go of me!” I scream as he just laughs at my struggle before turning back to Collin.

“It’s good to see you again brother.” He spits stepping over my mate before carrying me out of the castle, wolves lay across the floor unconscious as the rogue meets up with 2 others who are also carrying Clover and Amelia unconscious as well.
