Savannah's POV
"Baby, she is the pack doctor. Since you are pregnant she will be guiding you until you give birth" Hardwick said gently.
"I am OB, ah I mean An obstetrician. You can rest assured about your health and the baby. I will take a good care of you" Sadie smiled as she placed the medical box on the table "I need to take your blood samples so that I can perform a test to check your pregnancy status"
I nodded "please go ahead"
"Thank you" she opened the box then pulled out a syringe and small tube bottle. She took some cotton then added a liquid on it before rubbing it on my arm.
"Fist your fingers" she said as she checked my pulse then inserted the needle of the syringe in my skin. I hissed as the needle sting in my skin.
"Can't you do that gently" Hardwick growled beside me. He rubbed my back gently.
"I can't help it" Sadie rolled her eyes then pressed the cotton ball where she inserted the tip of the needle then pulled out the needle carefully. She rubbed the area and told me to fold my arm. I did as she said.
"I will give you the results in the evening" she put back the blood sample in her box before looking at me "you don't have to worry. Once I check your status I will see if I can perform ultrasound"
"Can't it be done soon?" Hardwick asked.
"No, it depends on how long she is pregnant. Even if we do, you can't see anything at all if your baby is in the shape of a small bud" she laughed, making Hardwick roll his eyes.
I looked at them and smiled "you both look so free to each other?"
"You have told her Alpha?" Sadie looked at him. While Hardwick gave her a poker face.
She rolled her eyes then smiled at me "we are a good friends you know"
"Good friends?" I expected that. No one in the pack dares to speak so freely to Hardwick. They don't even dare to look at him. But Sadie didn't even care about Hardwick's growl just now, like she is familiar with such actions.
"She is Ryan's sister," Hardwick replied.
I turned to him "I never knew that he has a sister who is also a pack doctor"
"We are not biological actually" Sadie said smiling "I am the daughter of Ryan's dad's close friend. Because of war my parents died and I was taken here. I was 14 years that time and from that on I am living here"
"Now that makes sense," I nodded.
"She is weird, don't give much attention to her" Hardwick whispered.
"Hey" Sadie barked and I chuckled.
"Is your work done?" He asked.
"Why?" Sadie looked at him, narrowing her eyes.
"You can just get lost"
She rolled her eyes "not gonna happen. Whether you like it or not I am gonna stick to Luna like glue. So you don't really have much choice here" she smirked, making him groan.
"Fuck off" Hardwick glared at her angrily. Instead of getting scared Sadie smiled charmingly then picked up her medical box.
"I need to test the blood. So I will take my leave now. Once I get the results I will provide you with required supplements" then she left hurriedly.
I turned to Hardwick who was still sulking. I chuckled looking at his face "you never said you have such a lovely lady as a doctor"
"Is she someone to be proud of?" He frowned.
I laughed "looking at her I would like to think in that way"
He rolled his eyes "don't talk about her now. She is really crazy sometimes"
"Oh, then what do you want to talk about?" I smiled.
"Our baby" he placed his hand on my belly "is growing in there. My little pup" he grinned.
My little pup~ it sounds so great.
I looked at his smiling face. He looked so happy and content. Looks like the news of my pregnancy had him go insane with happiness. I never thought that this pregnancy would make him so happy.
"Hardwick, are you happy?" I asked, looking at his expression.
He looked up "of course I am. I have been dreaming of having my own family. Now it's finally going to be fulfilled, how wouldn't I be happy?"
"I can't express my happiness in words, '' he added, shaking his head. Before I knew it he pulled me for a hug. I snuggled into his warm embrace leaning on his hard chest.
"Thank you for giving this huge gift"
"Thank you too"
He kissed my forehead lovingly. His warm lips lingered on it for a minute before it pulled away. I looked up and could see the glee shimmering in his eyes. We were only two and now soon we are going to be three.
"I need to inform mom dad too"
He nodded "okay"
I was about to pick up my phone when the door burst open revealing Ryan and Jenny. Jenny was holding a flower bouquet and a smile on her face.
"Wow, wow, wow. So the soon to be momma is up" Ryan said grinning widely.
"Congratulations Mistress" Jenny handed me the flowers.
"Thank you" I smiled.
"I thought I could beat him but I never thought he will be this fast" Ryan grinned then smirked at Hardwick.
"Huh, beat what?" I frowned.
Ryan gave a knowing look to Hardwick while Hardwick just gave a raised eyebrow.
"What's happening?" I frowned.
Ryan smirked at me "Luna, soon there will be little Alpha running around the whole pack. I thought I could beat Alpha in this matter but who could have known that he would beat me first. I must say Alpha is really fast"
My face flushed as I blushed.
"Looks like you are too free to talk about this nonsense" Hardwick told him with a poker face.
"I am working too hard, how could I be free?" Ryan retorted.
"Oh, what are you working at?" Hardwick raised an eyebrow.
"Making babies," Ryan replied. This time Jenny blushed. Her face turned red suddenly. She bit her lips and threw a glare at Ryan who was grinning shamelessly.
"What are you saying? Is that something to joke about?" She slapped Ryan's arm angrily.
"What? I am telling the truth. See, even Luna is pregnant. When are you going to give me that good news too?" He frowned.
"You are ridiculous. I can't win talking to you" Jenny huffed. She turned to me "I am sorry. He is kind of shameless" saying that she glared at Ryan before walking out of the room.
"Hey, how can you leave me like that? Jen, wait" Ryan looked restless "I am leaving now" then he ran away.
"He really got a load in his hand" Hardwick commented.
"Jenny was so embarrassed right now" I shook my head.
Hardwick rolled his eyes "that man always talk like this without thinking"
"Jenny was angry"
"Let them handle their own matters. Besides, Ryan was quite fascinated about having kids. That man torturing the poor girl whenever he gets chance" he smirked.
I rolled my eyes "do you really have to say that bluntly? You have no concern for Jenny"
"My concern is only for you, my love. And I don't need to worry about Jenny. She has Ryan to do that for her and you know she is in good hands so even if he torture her it won't hurt her" Hardwick shrugged.
"Fine, I won't talk about them anymore. I need to call mom and tell her the news" I smiled. I really want to see their reactions. Tanea is pregnant and now if I tell her that I am also pregnant then what will be their reaction?
"They will be happy to hear that" he said looking at me.
I nodded "Tanea is also pregnant. It added elation in their lives. And I am really excited to see their reactions when they will know about my pregnancy" I grinned at the end.
"Since you are so excited then go for it" he smiled.
"Right" I grabbed my phone.
"But before you do that I want to tell you something"
"Yeah, what is it?" I asked, looking at him.
"I am done arranging your crowning ceremony. Since you are pregnant I need to speed up"
"You have arranged it? When?"
"This eclipse. It is the best day to announce your crowning. And we can announce about your pregnancy to the whole pack"
"This eclipse? When is it?"
"2 days later"
My eyes widened "what? 2 days later? Isn't it too fast?"
2 days later? Oh my god everything is going so fast? I am not even prepared for it.
"Fast? How come it become so fast? It's already too late. I should have done it long ago instead of waiting for it" he frowned.
"But just 2 days later?"
"Yeah, I just can't wait to tell everyone that you are mine. My Luna, my queen" he leaned in whispering in my ear.
"I am already yours. And everyone knows that too" I shook my head. This man is always behaving so possessive.
"I know but I still need to do it. Everyone should know that you are mine. Inside the pack, outside the pack. Everyone needs to know it" Hardwick's voice was so firm and manipulative that it made my heart race erotically. I looked into his dominating orbs and felt myself getting lost in it.
"But-"
"There's no buts my love. All you need to do is get ready for the ceremony. As I said, I am not gonna wait anymore. No matter what. Everything is already decided"
I sighed. I can't win with this man. He knows what he is doing. And I know he won't stop until he does whatever he decides. So it's a waste to talk about it anymore.
"Okay since you have already done the preparation I have nothing to say"
