The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 392

Chapter 392

I only manage to stifle half my yelp as alpha pulls me into him. Gently, he encourages me to drop my hands from my ears and lean into him as he calms the panic such a normal thing created.

“As much as you don’t want to, I strongly believe that sitting in on Jessa’s next appointment will help you understand why the baby was crying.”

I stay in his embrace several minutes before I finally nod my agreement against his neck.

I follow alpha silently back to the medical wing. The door to Jessa’s pediatric room is now open and she’s cleaning up and preparing for the next patient to come in. Alpha knocks politely on the door

and waits for her to answer.

“Alpha, I wasn’t expecting you.” Her voice is shocked but friendly when she’sees the alpha in the

doorway.

“Morning Jessa. I was wondering, if your next patient doesn’t mind, if Cole and I can sit in on your

next check–up?”

I watch alpha step back out of the doorway as a young brunette carrying an infant turns down the

hallway.

“Good morning, April. How’s William doing?” Alpha greets the young mother as she approaches the

door.

“Morning alpha. I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“I am sorry for any intrusion but I was wondering if I could sit in on William’s check–up today?”

“Yes sir, I’d actually like the input of a parent. I’m sorry Jessa I didn’t see you there. No offense, you’re a great doctor and highly recommended….”

“It’s okay April.” Jessa interrupts her with a gentle hand on her shoulder. “Being trained as a pediatrician gives me an understanding of how William should grow and the milestones he should reach. While I may have theoretical knowledge of how children work, being a parent and putting it to practice is very different.”

I’m surprised at how calmly Jessa handled what would offend most others.

“I can try to give some pointers on what I’ve done with mine but considering you’re a gamma, you may not need the same things that I’ve relied on.”

She nods her head to alpha’s comment before turning towards me.

“Who might you be?” She asks easily as I duck my head.

“My name is Cole, ma’am.”

“You’re very respectful for an alpha who’s not part of the pack. Are you shadowing Alpha Demetri

today?”

“Yes ma’am.”

“Do you have any children?”

“No ma’am. I’m…”

Before I could finish my thought alpha jumps into the conversation.

“He is a natural with children. He did wonderfully caring for Madilyn and even protected Madisyn from my own wrath when he was extremely ill. My experience with him at the care center showed me that, outside of diaper changes, he’s the perfect babysitter.”

“What’s wrong with diaper changes?” She sounds confused.

“It’s a difficult thing to explain. I’m certain that when he has his own pup he will quickly get beyond

the aversion but right now is not the time.”

“You’re both welcome to come in. I’m a little nervous about this visit.”

“What are you nervous about, April?” Jessa naturally takes back over the conversation.

“Well, William is six months old now and I know he’ll be starting his vaccinations today. I’ve heard a

lot of stories about bad reactions and infants even dying from too many shots at one time. Bill is

adamantly against him getting any shots at all. The human schedule has so many shots at one time.”

I follow everyone silently into the room. The room itself spiking my anxiety despite the bright colors

and friendly animal motifs scattered around the room. April’s near panic about her son receiving

shots has me on edge as well.

“Cole.” Alpha’s call is unexpected and I startle badly from it.

“If it’s okay April, I’d like Cole to take care of William for a few minutes. You’re taking this visit very

hard and I’d like to help both of you through it.”
