Chapter 17

Danny’s POV
“How have you both been going? It’s been two months since I have seen you; and Danny you look like as though you have been training hard” Isabella says smiling at us. I blush at her comment “why are you going red. If you, have it; flaunt it” Claudia smirks at me. The muscle I’ve put on over the last two months is beginning to show and Claudia is loving the physique in the bedroom.
“Do you have a name for the little one yet?” she asks us. “Yes; Sophia Janelle Davison” Claudia announces. We decided to have Janelle as her middle name after grandma and give her an individual name. “I like it” Bella coos.
“So, what’s been happening?” she asks us. “Todd found out Amanda is a white wolf and was pursuing Claudia. With the help of Mum, Dad and Jesse; we were able to get him to back off” I inform her. “I see” she responds; writing on her notepad. “Is that why you have been training hard?” she asks me. “Yes and no” I answer.
She raises an eyebrow at me; “and no?” she questions. Claudia starts giggling like a school girl. “Umm; I think, mum is going overboard with the baby shopping” she responds. “You think? I got back to our room yesterday and could hardly move with all the stuff that was in there.”
“And how are your fears, now?” Isabella asks me. I give her a puzzled look; with Todd and training, I hadn’t had time to talk to her about why I withdrew myself in the first place. I didn’t realise she knew. “Henry told me about them” she includes. “Can I say; I see and scribble something on a notepad?” I sarcastically ask her. She gives me a snarl; “They are fine; we went in for a scan and Doctor Elliot showed me the placenta is where it should be. No complications” I add, smiling.
“Do you think Todd has stopped pursuing you completely?” she asks Claudia. “He has for the moment. I can’t say for certain; but with Danny’s threat of revenge; he sounded scared” she answers. “Threat of revenge” she says; writing on her notepad again. “The only way to have him back off, was to tell him who Claudia’s mate was. We decided to let him know I was alive and threaten him; if I saw him, I will kill him. Unless I absolutely have to; I won’t follow through on the threat and it worked because he hasn’t called again” I conclude.
“But you think, there is a possibility of him going after her?” she questions; looking at me. I let out a sigh, “He is an alpha, like myself. If he wants something; threats won’t stop him. He may be scared to do anything now. It will come down to, how much does he want Amanda for himself” I answer her.
“What do you think, Claudia?” “I’m in agreeance with Danny. Dad is putting Jason and him through intense training; both men have bulked up. Tracey is loving it as much as I am” she giggles. “When is she due?” “a week after me” Claudia answers. Tracey went into heat, a week after Claudia; they are having a little boy.
“Do you have a plan in place; if Todd does kidnap Claudia” she asks. What is with these questions? I’m starting to feel uncomfortable here. “Yes; but I don’t want to discuss them” I answer her. She looks at me; dropping her head to show, submission. “Sorry Danny; I’m just as worried, as you and Alpha Henry. I was making sure you are thinking of every avenue. That’s my job; looking at situations and helping you to put it into perspective; to get a better understanding” she says giving a half smile.
“Sorry, Bella. I didn’t realise I released my Alpha Aura. I’m going to have to get Dad to teach me how to keep it under control” I chuckle at her. “Not an issue; I understand your anxiety over the question” she exclaims.
“Have you found yourself a Gamma yet?” she asks. “No; there isn’t anyone Gamma Paul is happy to pass the title onto yet” I inform her. “What about Cynthia? she just found her mate”. “Brett is a bit of a toss; but I was going to ask if Cynthia would like to take on her father’s roll” Claudia announces. “I don’t know; I am happy and trust Cyndy to become Gamma; but Paul is very old school; leadership rolls should be for men” I include; remembering what Gamma Paul said to us.
“You will need to change his mind; you are the next Alpha, are you not?” Isabella smirks. “Yes, I am” I answer her; chuckling to myself.
“I won’t keep you too much longer; George said he would like to see you when we are done” Isabella tells us; “Is everything ok, with Claudia?” I question; concern etching across my face. “You really do have some fears about Claudia and the pregnancy. I wasn’t entirely sure” Bella giggles. I growl at her; “settle down; he wants to give you a check-up. Not that you need it; look at that sexy body” Claudia laughs; causing me to blush again.
“Thank you” I tell her; smiling. “Well done; Danny” Isabella exclaims. “I have been making sure, I take the compliment when it’s given” I smile at the pair of them. “And he shows me how much he likes his compliments too” Claudia smirks; causing my face to go more red.
“If I don’t let you go; Danny might melt into the floor with embarrassment” Isabella giggles. “Do you want to see us next week?” I ask her. “You are both doing well; how about we make it for a month’s time? If you need to come back sooner, my door is always open” Bella tells us.
“We will see you then” I tell her as Claudia and myself head out of the room and head to Doctor Elliot. “Examination room 3; Nurse Peta says” “Thank you” Claudia answers her.
“Danny; welcome” Doctor Elliot says. “Claudia; how are mum and pup?” he adds. “We are doing well; she’s very feisty” Claudia answers. “You wanted to see me?” I ask; as we sit down on the chairs next to the desk.
“I wanted to take some vitals; weight; blood pressure. But you’re looking quite fit” he answers. “Thank you” I smile. “Step on the scales for me.” I do as Doctor Elliot asks; it reads back 194 pounds. I look at Claudia, grinning. “What is it?” she asks. “194.”
She beams at me; her eyes twinkling with tears. “I told you, you can do it; Can I ask Dad to put the mirrors back in our room now” “You haven’t got mirrors in your room?” he asks her. “We have a small one for me to do my hair and makeup, but it’s not the same” she answers him; as Doctor Elliot’s eyes glaze over for a moment.
“Take off your shirt and sit on the examination bed” he asks; “What are you doing?” I ask him. “I’m going to check your reflexes and muscle to fat ratio” he answers. “How?” “Just sit on the bed and I will show you” he huffs as Nurse Peta walks into the examination room. “I have one here fo..Oh” she starts to say and looks in my direction blushing. “What’s wrong?” I ask as Claudia and her start giggling.
**“If I don’t know any better; Nurse Peta likes what she sees”** Jesse cackles. **“Our mate is sitting in the room”** I fume; **“doesn’t mean she can’t look.”**
Doctor Elliot grabs a little stick with a rubber end and taps my ankles; knees; and wrist with it. My foot, leg and hand twitch as he does it. “Your reflexes are good” he says picking up a large tweezer like instrument and grabs my bicep; pinching my arm between the two ends. “Nice; you have little fat around your muscle” he informs me. “Why did I need to take my shirt off, for this?” He smirks; “You didn’t; I thought I could give Claudia and Peta some eye candy while I checked it” he chuckles.
I blush; grabbing my shirt to put it back on. “Wait; there was something else I wanted you to do before you put your shirt back on” he says. “What?” I snarl at him.
He looks at nurse Peta and nods his head. She opens the door and pulls in a full-length mirror. “I’m not ready to see myself” I tell him; hesitation coming through my voice. Claudia walks over to me and puts her hands on her hips. “I think you should look; if you don’t like what you see. We won’t bring the mirrors back into our room” she says giving me a peck.
I lower my head “Ok” I whisper as nurse Peta wheels the mirror over to me. I hop off the examination bed and look up at her. “You will like what you see; I do” Peta says stopping in front of me, as Claudia growls at her. “Sorry Claudia; just stating a fact” Peta blushes.
I look in the mirror. I look at my brown hair; it’s almost to my shoulders. I run my fingers through it. Claudia has been washing and brushing it for me. She says it makes her horny when she does.
I lower my eyes to my face; tears welling up in them as I place my hands on my cheeks. I feel the fullness of my face; it’s not pale and thin anymore.
I move my glance down to my arms and torso; I have a six pack and my biceps show every muscle in my arms. I rub my hands over my arms; whilst looking in the mirror. My skin isn’t pale as it once was; because I wasn’t allowed out of the packhouse. It’s tanned from the training I have done in the sunshine.
I twist my body; I am no longer skin and bone. I have a lean; muscled body. **“We look good”** Jesse smirks at me. “I can see why you’re all over me lately” I smile at Claudia. “Can I bring back the mirrors?” “Yes; you can bring back the mirrors” I snicker.
