Belladonna

She went off and spoke to Annette, after Whit and Milly headed off to have dinner with Parker. Sending both of them to do that, and not just Whit; that was her way of showing Parker that she still wanted him to spend time with Milly, something she thought he would see as a good thing.

Annette asked her a bunch of questions about being healed, and although she still had healing going on and could feel the tingling sensation of Venus’ healing ability, it was no longer all over her chest; solely focused on her sternum only, the ribs were fully healed now.

She would be all healed up by morning, she thought, and she, herself, as a doctor, thought it was appropriate to be discharged now. Annette stared at her for a long moment and then nodded “On one condition.” She’d stated “That you still rest until the full moon, your wolf isn’t fully realised yet. So I’d still like you to have some assistance if needed. I know Parker moved you and the children into the packhouse. I’d like that to stay as is until the full moon.”

“Alright.” Bella had nodded simply, and she’d seen Annette blink in surprise that she’d not fought her about it. Bella had just smiled and told her, “I’ve already decided to do that. It will be good for Whit and Parker to

be close together.”

“Your daughter is quite attached to Parker as well, I see.” Annette had commented almost a little too

casually.

“I’m aware.” Bella nodded and she was. It was probably just a matter of time before the word daddy, came out of Milly when she wanted something from him. Milly knew Parker was Whit’s dad and, with the amount of time he’d spent with both her children in the past two weeks, and the way he smiled at Milly and picked her up, played with her, it was pretty much the same amount of time as he spent with Whit.

Milly, she knew, was looking at Parker the way she’d once looked at Bella, before being bled to her. It would be nice when that day came, and she was officially blea to Parker, and there was a true kin bond formed between them. Though she was completely certain that it was already there for Milly.

“Annette, I’ll be staying for a while.” She’d told her, “May we have a word in your office about a few things?” she’d asked, and they’d gone to Annette’s office, and she’d closed the door “I’ll be staying for many months, until Bridgit gives birth.” She told her, she couldn’t tell her she knew what Parker was to her but also needed to see Bridgit’s medical file and discuss what Freya had told her about Bridgit.

“Oh, that’s good she’s had some trouble previously. What made you want to stay?” Annette asked.

“Freya told me I needed to be here to deliver Bridgit’s triplets. Selena also wants that, apparently.” She sighed softly, though it was a bit on the heavy side. “We’ll have to prep in advance for it. It’s going to be hectic, and likely see Bridgit or the triplets in distress during the delivery. Delivering in the surgical bay, not the delivery suite, I believe will be needed.”

Annette sighed herself now. “She’s not been able to carry a single pup for more than a month, since having

Adria, she’s lost a few”

“She’ll not be losing the triplets,” Bella stated. “I’ll not be leaving the pack the entire time she’s pregnant, and you and I will deliver the triplets together and look after both the mother and the pups, like we used to

do.”

“That will be about four months, that you’ll be here then. Bridgit carried Adria for five months, but triples will come early.”

“That’s fine, I’ll be here as long as I am needed to be.” Bella smiled at her, though a part of her knew she was never leaving the pack, but that would all come about for the pack on the full moon, until then she had to keep that information to herself.

“Alright, I might just put you to work then, seeing as you’re going to be here for that long.”

“Please do,” Bella chuckled. “Now if you give me a set of scrubs to wear, so I can walk through the pack not in my pajamas, that would be nice. I have to go and talk with Parker.”

Annette had done that, given her a set of the pack’s spare scrubs, simple soft green and white, and she’d showered and changed into them before heading for the packhouse. She needed to sort out the mess she’d made, and wanted to do that quickly before things got even worse and Parker walked away from her

and Venus.

Parker had returned to his office and to work she knew, when for the past week he’d been at her bedside, he was going to bury himself in work, to not have to deal with her. She wanted, no, she needed him to not want to do that.

She strolled into the packhouse only to find Parker standing in his office doorway, waiting for her. She thought Annette must have mind-linked to him that she’d been released; it had been her first thought, but then he raised an eyebrow at her and that made her wonder if he’d not been told at all.

Bella felt Venus lift her head inside her mind and look at him, but she didn’t push forward to show him she was looking at him. Venus wanted to watch him but not have him know she was doing so. Her beast was curious about their Mate but also felt uncertain about him at the same time. She’d not had the connection

r to him Bella had and, though she wanted it, appeared to be a bit on the shy side.
