******Erika's POV******
Everyone came forward to congratulate us on finally getting mated again.
The merging of the pack was ongoing amongst the elders while I greeted everyone who came forward together with Alex.
I saw the girl coming to also offer us their congratulations.
Paula was beaming but frowning as well. I noticed her discomfort, which she hid pretty well.
"Congratulations Alpha Alex, Luna Erika," Kat said wittily and we all laughed.
"Congrats, Alpha Alex and Luna Erika," Paula said as I saw the pain that flashed in her eyes.
"Paula, are you alright?" I couldn't help but ask.
She shook her head.
"What's wrong, P?" Kat asked, going over to hold her.
"I… Feel…" She suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream as she blew air from her mouth.
"The baby is coming."
"What?!!" We all yelled in unison.
Everyone panicked as we watched her blow more air from her mouth, she was trying not to panic like us and soon, Gage rushed over.
"What's wrong?!"
"It's P, she's in labor."
Gage cursed and without waiting, he lifted her off the ground and sprinted out of the room, straight to the entrance where a car was soon brought forth.
Once she was securely placed in the car, the car sped off from the packhouse and straight to the infirmary.
I and Kat rushed over to the other car with Alex, but before we could get in, an Elder called for our attention.
"Alpha Alexander has to stay behind for the success of the merging. The rest of you can go."
Alex turned to look at me and disappointment flashed in his eyes.
I gave him a little nod and a small smile of encouragement.
"Just go, you can come to the hospital the moment the merging is completed and you're made Alpha," I said to him and he sighed.
"Alright then, take care of yourself." He said and walked forward to pull me in for a hug.
After the hug, I and Kat climbed into the car and the driver drove off from the venue, straight to the hospital with the others.
Soon, we arrived and we both rushed in at once. We found Gage pacing back and forth, looking extremely nervous while I chuckled.
I and Kat sat by the corner as we watched the door to the labor room once in a while.
"This is it," Kat said, a sigh escaping her lips as she stared at me.
"Yes, it's time," I replied, getting what she was implying.
"P is a fighter and she would have a smooth delivery, I just can't wait to have a little pup too," Kat said with a look of exasperation in her eyes.
"We all will, let's celebrate Paula's first and we talk about ours later." I chuckled softly.
The process lasted for a long while, but in no time, the door to the labor room was pulled open and the doctor walked out.
He smiled a us and turned to Gage.
"You're the patient's mate?" He asked and Gage nodded.
"Alright great, congratulations, your mate has just given birth to a baby boy." He said and Gage broke out into a wide smile.
I and Kat cheered at the sides, "This is what we're talking about! P gave birth to a baby boy!" Kat whistled as I made a little happy dance.
"We'll be aunties!" I added and she nodded before giving me a big hug.
"The mate can see her first, then Her friends can go on afterward." The Doctor said with a smile before walking out.
