I instinctively grab Austin’s hand and look at him, looking at me. He is so happy. I feel it through our bond and he has to feel how happy I am too.
“That’s the most incredible sound I’ve ever heard.” I whisper.
“Okay, let’s see if we can get your pup on the screen. Then maybe we can see how far along you are, Luna.”
As she continues moving the wand around, she smiles widely, “They we are” as she points on the screen. There is a small circle within a larger dark circle.”
“What am I looking at?” I say.
“Well, this large darker circle is your womb or uterus, Luna. That is what holds your pup.” She explains patiently to me, “and this,” she says pointing at the smaller circle, “this is your pup.”
I sit there in awe. That little moving spot on the screen is my pup. Our pup. Austin’s pup. I feel myself crying again. I look over at Austin and his eyes are glistening with unshed tears. I feel so much love coming through the mate bond, that it’s almost overbearing. Almost.
“How far along is she Dr. Hadley?” Austin asks.
“Based on the size and the strength of the heartbeat, I would say almost three weeks, Alpha.”
Three weeks? I got pregnant pretty quickly then. I was already pregnant when I challenged him. I’m amused at the thought, but then the doctor’s expression changes.
“Hmm. Wait a second.” She says. Her tone has become serious. “Well, that would explain why you and your wolf are tired Luna.” She says.
At the same time, both Austin and I say, “What? What happened?”
She turns the screen once more, “You’re not having one pup. You are having two.”
“Twins?” Austin says, and there is a lot of excitement coming from him.
Me however, my emotions are running away with me. Two pups? I have two pups in me? Does this mean I’m pregnant twice as long? I mean I wanted a lot of pups with Austin, but it never occurred to me that I could carry twins. My nervous are in shambles right now.
Austin feels my anxiety, “Darling, talk to me. What’s going on in your head baby?”
“Two pups. How does that work? Am I going to be pregnant even longer?” I look at the doctor who started laughing. Even Austin chuckles.
“Oh, Luna, no. You won’t be pregnant longer. Most multiple pup pregnancies actually deliver sooner than expected.” She says with amusement in her voice, “I’m sorry to laugh, but that is the first time I’ve ever been asked that question in my entire career. It just caught me off guard Luna.”
Austin looks at the doctor and asks, “Do we get a picture with both pups? Is the heart beat strong with our other pup?”
“Yes, the heartbeat is strong for both, Alpha. I’ll print out some pictures. Also, I want to follow up with you next

week to make sure you are completely healed from your injury and to continue checking the health of your pups. After that, I want to see you every week, Luna.”
“When will we know the sex of the pups doctor?” Austin asks. I’m glad he’s asking these questions. My head is still spinning and I can’t think straight.
“I would say in a couple of weeks, Alpha.” She replies.
“Are we good to go now?” I ask.
“Yes. I will get your discharge and care papers and you will be free to go.” Dr. Hadley answers.
After she left the room, I look at Austin. “I guess you accepted the challenge before I issued it Alpha daddy.”
He growls approvingly at me, “You have no idea how happy you have made me, darling.”
“Let’s go home. We need to tell your mom, my grandparents and the pack!”
“Let’s go home, darling.”
