The Big Sky Alpha novel Chapter 82

FREYA POV

“Damn Freya, say it a little louder will ya? I don’t think China heard you!” She said looking around to see if anyone actually heard me.

“I’m sorry, I’m just so surprised and so shocked! Don’t take this the wrong way, but I never thought I’d see this day! I thought you’d be like the super cool and fun aunt in my mind.” I said, suddenly feeling bad but super excited.

“I’ve always wanted a family, but I knew that wasn’t in my cards until I found my mate. Now I just don’t know how to tell him. I’m worried he’ll be upset or not excited or something.” I could really see the concern in her eyes. It makes no sense to me, Levi seems like the kind of guy that would be so happy about this.

“I know he said he wanted to wait, and wanted it to just be the two of you for a while but I think he’s going to be happy. It’s not like he doesn’t want kids!” I smiled at her.

She smiled back, “yeah I guess so.”

I absolutely had to jump to my biggest question. “So, you want a boy or a girl?” I sat forward holding my cup and smiling like a high school girl waiting for the juicy gossip.

“Healthy.” She said giggling.

I laughed, “Oh good I was worried you were going to say super ill!”

We sat and talked for a while before Colt and Levi got back from their patrol meeting. I said bye to Jessi and went up to our room with Colt.

“How are you feeling today?” He asked as I started sitting down on our bed. Ugh sitting was getting harder and uncomfortable.

“I guess I feel a little better. Jessi helped put me in good spirits, I think that helped me not think about it so much.” I answered as I shifted around in the bed trying to get comfortable.

He looked at me and said, “Oh, I almost forgot. I asked Amber down at the clothes shop to make you a special pillow. One of the guys said she made one for his wife when she had twins and said it really helped her sleep when she got closer to delivery.” He smiled at me and took a seat next to me.

“Thanks honey. Maybe she can make me something to help make sitting feel better.” I giggled.

“She’ll be here tomorrow to give it to you so ask her, she is a wizard with that kind of stuff so she might.” He said.

I slept so horrible. Sleeping on my back made the pressure unbearable. I’m much too big to sleep on my stomach like I’m used to. Sleeping on my side feels like I’m making myself lopsided.

Once the light started shining even a little bit in the sky I just got up. There was no point continuing to try to sleep. When Colt woke he could tell I didn’t have a good night.

“Stay at the pack house today. No walking around or doing much, okay?” He said.

“I haven’t been doing much for weeks now Colt. I can’t.” I said back, like what the f**k else am I going to do! I have no energy for anything else.

“I’m just saying, maybe sit in the rocking chair in their room. I’ve seen many mamas passed out in those things. Grab a book and rock in it. Maybe you can get a little nap in.” He kissed my forehead as I sat at our table.

“I was thinking about painting something for their room today. I want a personal touch from mommy and daddy in there.” I smiled up at him.

“I love that idea baby. I’ll see you later tonight if not sooner.” He kissed me and left for his alpha duties.

From my understanding, if I was not super umm weak or ill or whatever the hell I am then I’d be with the warriors making sure they’re feeling okay about everything and then making my usual rounds around the pack. Colt said in times of distress like we’ve been in since the kidnapping, it’s generally helpful for the Luna to be around the warriors.

For obvious reasons he doesn’t think it’s a good idea to waste the energy on it. Today at some point Sasha the healer is supposed to come and check me out to see how the babies and I are doing. She lets me listen to their heartbeats and it makes so me happy.

After breakfast I linked Jessi, “Where are you? Didn’t see you at breakfast.”

“I’m not feeling well. I can’t eat.” She said.

“Want company? I’m not allowed to do much today.” I asked.

“Maybe for a little. I didn’t get to sleep much.” She said.

“Girl ditto!” And I headed up there with a slice of toast and a cup of water for her. I’m sure it’s morning sickness.

I’m not sure why it’s called morning sickness, it’s an all day thing!

When I got up there I went ahead and let myself in. I saw Levi leave shortly after Colt did as I was walking down to breakfast. I didn’t need to call for her, I could hear the sounds of misery coming from the bathroom.

I waited until the toilet flushed to check in on her, at least that’s what I wanted when I went through my few days of morning sickness.

“Hey Jess, you need anything?” I asked as I very lightly pushed the door open only a few inches.

“Ugh” she groaned, “A large sleep with a side order of holding down food.” She chuckled miserably. It made me laugh, even feeling like total s**t she’s cracking jokes.

“It will pass. Thankfully mine was only a few days. Felt like an eternity of hugging the toilet though.” I grabbed a couple of her things for her and headed back to her room.

When we are finally comfortable she said, “I told him.” I just sat there staring at her, is that all I get? Why would she stop there? Clearly I want to know how it went. She still just sat there. I cleared my throat and waved my hands motioning for her to continue.

“Oh yeah, sorry.” She giggled, “You were right, he’s excited. He said he’d never be upset about anything like this, just means were meant to share our love right away.” She started crying.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, totally confused because that all sounds like great news.

“He-he told me about a guy he trains with who has been trying to have a pup with his wife for years and nothing is working. Breaks my heart because we weren’t even trying and we got blessed, ya know?” She was wiping her tears as mine started flowing.

“That’s so sad. Ugh why am I so emotional?” I shouldn’t be crying like this.

“Pregnancy.” Is all she said.

Here we are complaining about morning sickness and lack of sleep and being uncomfortable when we sit when there’s women out there who would give all they had to experience this kind of misery.

We’re obviously emotional, we cried about this for a good hour.
