Bonnie
Three months later.
After several weeks of sickness, insane fatigue, the worst mood swings, and another doctor’s visit that didn’t give us any answers, Nick insisted that we see the doctor again. However, unbeknownst to me, this time, he requested a different doctor, and if I’m being honest, l am grateful for it. Something is wrong, but for some reason, the normal doctor isn’t able to figure out what it is, despite his years of experience with the most insane injuries and illnesses.
If he can’t figure out what’s wrong with me, then maybe a different doctor can, because I’m starting to get worried now and so is Nick. He’s not sleeping or eating like he usually does. He’s constantly checking in on me, and unless I can go with him, he’s cancelling any pack duties that are away from the pack lands, and I hate that I’m putting him through this.
We step into the doctor’s room and take a seat just as a female doctor walks into the room. “Hi, Harriot. Thank you for coming.” Nick stands up and shakes her hand as he talks before turning his attention to me.” Bonnie, this is Harriot. She is a pack member and used to work alongside our doc until she decided to head for a new carrier. She is a qualified doctor and an incredible one at that. I asked her if she could come along to check you out as a second opinion and, luckily for us, she agreed.”
Looking at Nick, it’s clear to see that he thinks a lot of this woman and if he trusts her then I have no reason not to. “Well, in that case, thank you for agreeing to see me.” She turns her attention towards me, offering me a warm smile. “It is my honour, Luna.” I instantly like this doctor and felt at ease with her which is great considering how I still struggle with feeling at ease around any new people that I meet. It is something that I’m working on every day, but I know that it’s not going to be easy.
After spending the next several minutes telling the doctor about my symptoms and explaining everything that has been going on, includingthe appointments that we have already had with the normal doctor, Harriot gives us both a confused look that instantly has me on edge. ” OK, so based on what you have told me, I would also assume that you are pregnant but despite a positive pregnancy test, the doctor couldn’t find a baby or heartbeat. “Is that correct?” She asks as she goes over the notes that she’s made while we have been talking.
“That’s right,” Nick answers, sounding slightly pissed. This whole situation is stressful for both of us. Even when I try to tell Nick that I’m ok, he feels my emotions through our bond and is instantly back to stressing. As much as I wanted to be pregnant at this point, I would just be happy to find out exactly what is going on with me, so I can reduce the stress I’m putting on Nick. He already deals with enough stress every day due to being an Alpha, he doesn’t need me adding to it.
“So when he did the scan he couldn’t find anything. What about when he did an enteral examination?”
“A what?” Nick asks, taking the words right out of my mouth. Hariot once again looks confused as she looks back and forth between Nick and me. “An enteral examination. Usually, when someone has a positive pregnancy test, but the doctor is unable to find a baby or heartbeat through a normal scan, they will perform an internal vaginal examination. It’s a good way to pick up a pregnancy that is in its very early stages.
“He didn’t mention one of those exams,” Nick says, now looking more pissed than ever, and I’m starting to get right there with him. “That is strange. OK, I would like to perform another scan on you if that is OK. I think we need to double-check that you are not in fact pregnant before moving forward with any other tests. I nod more than happy to get things started as Nick helps me lay back on the bed while the doctor gets the machine set up.
Just a couple of minutes later the doc has gel on my stomach and her eyes are glued to the screen as she scans my stomach. “Holly goddess!
“She gasps. “How is this… How didn’t he..”
“What’s going on, doc?” Nick asks, his voice laced with anxiety. “Please,tell us what you see,” He pleads as his grip on my hand tightens.
WelL… Alpha… Luna. I can confirm that you are indeed pregnant. Very pregnant.”
“Very pregnant?”4manage to ask all while still processing the news.
Neither Nick nor I say a word as we both listen to every single word that she says causing her to smile. “I know that it is a lot to take in so how about we stop this appointment here and allow you both some time to let the news sink in, and then I will arrange an appointment with the doc in a few days so that you can go back over everything andask any questions that you make think of in the meantime.”
“I think that is a great idea. Thank you, Hariot. Thank you for this.” Nick speaks for both of us as I remain silent and lost in my own world.
Hariot soon leaves us alone and before I know it Nick has me tucked up in our bed and is telling me to take a nap. I’ve been so lost in my thoughts that I don’t even remember leaving the hospital never mind getting to our bedroom, but as usyal, Nick has looked after me and soon his words lult me to sleep as darkness quickly takes over.
Alpha Nicholas
As soon as I get my mate to take a nap I head to my office, some things ain’t sitting right with me right now and 1 need to figure out what’s going on. If there’s one thing my father taught me growing up it’s to always listen to my gut feeling and right now it’s burning with acusations against someone I never thought it would. But after everything that has gone on recently, no one could blame me for feeling how I do.
As I turn the corner to reach my office door I bump into Hariot who is standing outside seemingly waiting for me. “Is everything ok, Hariot?” She shakes her head and I feel dread settling in the pit of my stomach. ” We need to talk, Alpha and you’re not going to like it.”
Fuck what is it now?
