Chapter 77

Zane leaves so that I can get ready to see the doctor, but my mind keeps wondering back to Dean. How could he just leave us without a word? We need him here with us, not angry and walking out in rage, can't he see that he's damaging the bond that we have?
I put on a thick winter dress and some flat shoes, tying my hair into a bun on top of my head. I was excited to see the doctor and find out the babies genders but it was all so bitter sweet. I needed Dean with me. I wanted him to be there.
no matter how much we argue or disagree with each other, I still love him, and I don't want him to give up on us.
"Maybe he just went to clear his head, he'll come back. This is his home." Nyx says, trying to give me what comfort that she can.
"I hope you are right, I hate the way he spoke to us, but that doesn't mean I don't love him."
I turn my head towards the door when I hear footsteps, knowing that Zane would be back to take me to the doctor, the others were going to meet us there.
"maybe Dean will already be there, waiting for us." I tell my wolf.
"maybe." She responds sadly, knowing it wasn't likely.
Zane enters the room, still frowning and I just know in my heart that Dean hasn't been found yet. We had people out searching for him, members of the pack that had volunteered to help. But would they find him? Had something happened to stop him from coming back home?
"Are you ready love?" He asks, taking my hand and kissing my head.
"I guess so." I say, forcing a smile.
"he'll be home soon, let's try and not worry."
"I hope you are right." I sigh.

The doctors office wasn't as packed as last time we came, but there were still a lot of people waiting to be seen, each one of them nodding at me and smiling when they saw my large tummy. I was recognised as Luna even though the ceremony hadn't took place yet, and I was excited to be accepted. The pack really did stick together no matter what.
I spotted Matthew and Alexander near the front, waiting for me to arrive, but I was shocked when I saw Drax their as well. Why had he come? Did he want to know the babies gender as well?
"Hi." I say to them all, forcing a smile.
Drax steps forward, his voice softer than usual. "I hope you don't mind me being here, we are still mates despite what I have done and I want to see our children as much as the others."
I shake my head, an actual smile lighting up my face as I spoke; "You have every right to be here as the others, I just didn't know that you would want to."
I turn to Alexander, "is their any news on where Dean is?"
Alex shakes his head, kissing my hands as he pulls me towards him. "Nothing yet baby, but as soon as I know anything I'll tell you, promise."
I sigh deeply, rubbing my temples, "I just hope that he is ok."
"we all do, love." Matthew adds, pulling me into his arms, "but let's not worry about that now, this should be a happy day, we are going to find out how our babies are doing."
I nod, smiling slight at the thought. "You are right, today should be happy and carefree. I just hope our babies are growing and developing correctly."
"if they are anything like their mother they will be, you are stronger than you know. I admire that." Drax says, nervously kissing the top of my head as he whispers. "I hope it's boys."
"I second the part where you said she's strong, she's the best and brightest person I know." Zane chuckles, "she can also beat our asses if we step out of line."
we are burst out laughing just as the doctor calls us, my nerves rising slightly in anticipation, what would the sex be? Are the babies healthy?
we all follow the doctor to the private room and I lay down on the bed, pulling my dress from over my stomach.
"eager to get started." The doctor laughs, turning on the ultrasound machine. "Let's take a look then shall we."
I hold my breath as he presses it to my stomach in several different places, a quick thudding of the hearts filling the room and my mind.
"there they are." Zane gasps, a bright smile lighting up his face.
in fact, all of my mates who were there were smiling brightly, their faces as they look at our babies something I would lock into my memory forever.
"can you tell what sex they are?" Alexander asks, and as the biological father I couldn't blame him for his excitement.
"of course... you are having a baby boy. And a baby girl." The doctor announces.
one of each! I'm going to be a mummy to a boy and a girl!
I couldn't be happier!
