Chapter 153
"Wait here, I'll get us some breakfast." He states, pressing a kiss to my forehead before grabbing a blanket and covering me up.
I smile in appreciation, hearing him work in the kitchen as I turn on the television. As I settle on a film, he walks out with a tray and this time, the smell of coffee doesn't bug me as much. When he sees that I'm okay, he smiles and sets his mug down before passing me my French toast.
The television turns into background noise as we chat whilst finishing our breakfast. Gabriel tells me his plans of today; where he is going and how he plans to help our neighboring pack recover. I can tell he is tired of it all and wants the rogues to stop but being a King, he must protect his people and help them whenever need be.
After we finish, he takes our plates and places them on the coffee table before putting his arm around my shoulders and pulling me close. I smile and shuffle closer so that I end up resting my head on his chest. His embrace is warm and familiar, a touch that can soothe me in an instant.
"You've been smelling so good lately." He groans softly, placing a kiss on the top of my head.
"Oh, I started using a new body wash so maybe it's that?" I suggest, frowning when he shakes his head in disagreement.
"It's your scent, I think it's become stronger."
I pull away and look up at him in confusion, my expression mirroring his. "That's unusual."
"I know." He nods, his eyes glancing towards the window when we hear a car horn. "We'll figure it out when I come back, right now I have to leave."
We stand and I make my way towards the front doors of the house whilst he grabs some files from his study. He comes back out with a knowing smile when he sees me standing there, pulling me into a bear hug.
"You don't have to leave so early." I pout, wishing he can stay longer.
"I don't plan on staying the night at the pack, mea lux. If I leave early, then I get to come back home to you." He chuckles, pulling me close and pecking my lips. (My light.)
I nod in understanding before pushing up on the tips of my toes and kissing him. I don't think I will ever get tired of feeling lightheaded whenever we kiss or the tingles that dance on my skin at the slightest bit of contact. When we pull away, he rests his forehead against mine, his green eyes flashing in concern.
"I'm going to be fine, stop worrying." I smile, pecking his cheek before backing out of his hold.
He opens his mouth to speak but the loud honking of the car interrupts him, making him growl in annoyance. "Fine, I'll see you in the evening. I love you."
"I love you too." I smile, watching as he opens the front door and makes his way towards the waiting car.
I watch the car drive away until it's hidden by the thick forest before turning to go back inside. Spotting my guards, I ask if they would like some breakfast or a drink to which they tell me that they have already ate. Nodding, I make my way back inside to relax for a while before heading over to the pack's clinic.
***
It is currently midday and I am walking into the clinic. Because I called in before to let Dr Petrova know that I will be visiting, I don't have to wait long and am instantly ushered into a room.
"Okay, I have some exciting news for you Luna." She speaks as she types away on the keyboard before turning around to face me.
"What could be exciting about throwing up all the time?" I mutter, watching as she shakes her head with a laugh.
"Amanda...congratulations, you're pregnant!" She grins, making my jaw drop.
"W-What?" I stutter, staring at her in surprise and confusion.
She opens a green folder with my name on it and nods, her eyes skimming the information on the pages. "Apparently, you have been pregnant for 3 weeks now."
I stare at her in complete shock, trying to comprehend her words. I'm pregnant? Gabriel and I are going to be parents? I don't know how to feel, it's so overwhelming and I try to keep up with Dr Petrova as she explains things to me.
"When you become pregnant, your scent becomes more distinctive and attractive to your mate. Yours has become stronger showing that you are indeed expecting. Your pregnancy will be for three months or longer –"
"Whoa! Hold up, what happened to the nine months?!" I exclaim, looking at her with wide eyes.
"Werewolves grow rapidly so the pregnancy is shorter." She explains kindly, trying to ease my panic. "When Gabriel Marked you, your body slowly evolved to adapt to a shorter pregnancy than a human female would have."
I sit back in the seat, feeling nauseous all over again and this time it's not because something smells funny. After asking me if I'm okay, she resumes explaining the process to me. I must come back for an ultrasound within two weeks and again near the end of my pregnancy to determine the due date. She writes down some medicines that I will need before answering my questions. Thanking her, I grab the file and wave goodbye before making my way out of the clinic. Pack members greet me with smiles and I return the gesture, wanting to reach home as quick as possible.
I walk up the path to my home, barely registering the guards following behind and lining up around the house. Closing the door, I plop down onto the couch with a loud sigh, my medical file in front of me. My surroundings are silent but my mind is chaotic. Gabriel and I have talked about our future and I know he will be ecstatic to hear that he is going to be a father. I remember how on one night in January, we were sipping on hot chocolate by the fire in our sitting room and talking about starting a family of our own.
