Chapter 62

I slept until the next morning, all the way through with no disturbances, so I woke feeling well rested and ready for the day. Their was only one problem, as soon as I opened my eyes I had to rush to the bathroom, both to pee and to vomit, the baby clearly not liking something I have had.
I stumbled back into my bedroom and walked towards the closet, deciding to wear a pair of pink sweatpants and a jumper that matched. As I changed I noticed that I already had a small bump and i stroked it with love, unable to contain my excitement.
I was going to be a mum.
their was a child growing inside of me, one that belonged to those that I love. I couldn't wait to meet him -I believed it would be a boy- and show him all of the love a mother could ever give to her child.
I walked down the stairs with a smile on my face, pleased that I hadn't missed breakfast as I smelled the bacon, I couldn't wait to eat. Even if I had just thrown up.
I entered the kitchen with a bright smile. "Morning!" I called, causing their heads to snap towards me.
Matthew was the first to approach me, smiling doftly. "How did you sleep love?" He asked.
"Better than I have since I was taken." I reply, holding my smile as I add; "but I'm starving."
"oh no, we can't be having that." Zane chuckled, plating me up some food and placing it at the table. "Come and sit, have a nice breakfast."
"you don't have to tell me twice." I chuckle, walking towards the table and taking my seat. "How did you all sleep?"
Dean came over and kissed my cheek, "we haven't had the chance, we've been organising for the packs to merge."
"you still need to take care of yourselves." I argue, frowning.
"we are just practicing for when the baby arrives." Alexander smiles, kissing my other cheek. "Don't worry about us babe, we can handle going a night without sleep."
"I'm going to worry about you all." I say, "it's my job as your mate."
"and we are honoured you think of us sweetness." Dean smiles, sitting down with his own plate.
The others joined us at the table, our plates piled high with the best breakfast I could have asked for on my first day back. I even had fruit to go with my two pancakes.
I smiled as I watched them eat and chat away, I hadn't realised how much I had missed this until now. Drax's pack was so different to ours, he ran things in a way that scared everyone who lived there. He was a brute and he was cruel, someone I never wanted to see again.
i breifly wondered how Chloe was doing, it was a shame I had to leave her behind, but their was nothing I could do, I couldn't help her. I couldn't save her from James.
Dean stops mid conversation and looks at me, "what are you thinking about that has you so down, sweetness?"
"I had a friend back there, her name was Chloe." I say with a sigh, "she was being abused by her mate and the pack, I'm worried about her. I was her only firmed there."
"Maybe we can look into bringing her here. It'll take some time though." Alexander suggested, taking my hand in his.
Matthew nods, "I'll contact Arron and see how she is. see if their is anything I can do from here."
"Thank you." I smile softly, appreciating that they are trying to help. "I just hope she hasn't been punished for me leaving."
"he'll pay for what he has done Annalise, you don't need to worry about that." Dean growls, the fork bending in his hand.
"Let's calm down Dean, you don't want to lose your head at a time like this." Zane scorns, taking his fork and replacing it with another one.
"exactly, now is a happy time. Our mate is pregnant." Matthew adds. "We should concentrate on her and our pup."
alexander nods, agreeing. "Which reminds me." He says. "I'm taking you to see the doctor today."
"alright." I smile, "will he do a scan?"
"he should do, we can ask." Alexander smiles, running his hands through my hair softly. "I can't wait to see our pup."
"me either." I smile back, my heart once again swelling with love.
