The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 

Kennedy 

“What’s going on with Christy, Mom?” I ask as de pass me strapped up. 

“I’m not sure, but if I had to guess, I’d say the feeding of your pack is scaring her. I smelled her fear when I stepped into the room, but not having a mind link with her, I can’t say where it’s coming from? 

1 connect with Quinn’s mind, listening to him talk with Christy. He’s being so gentle with her. I send love and pride through the bond, so he knows I appreciate what he’s doing I can tell that even though he’s talking to Christy and still paying attention to what’s going on with me, he’s also focusing on the pack and what’s happening with Slater. My mate is so perfect 

“Okay, I’m set here. Once Quirin returns, we’ll get started my mom says, 

“I really hope we can see our pup. That would be so exciting,” I say, 

“We’re not sure how far along you are, so just don’t get your hopes up too much. If nothing else, we should be able to get a heartbeat. Actually, let’s yet the heartbeat monitor wrapped around you now, I’ll still wait to turn it on until Quirin comes in. I want him to hear his pup’s heartbeat the same time you do,” she says. 

I know that Quirin can feel my excitement and I can feel that he’s getting excited too. He’s also very nervous, which is sweet 

“Was Dad nervous when he found out you were pregnant?” I ask her. 

She smiles. “He was so excited. I only had the heartbeat at first. He listened to it over and over, played it on repeat that first night while we slept, I didn’t know until I had the ultrasound that there were actually two heartbeats in there. It’s not always easy to find the second one, especially if you don’t know to look for it. Then, I told him we were having twins in front of the pack. He was about to go to war with Brady and I wanted to make sure he knew he had a family to return to. He went a bit crazy at first. He actually started mumbling to himself. It was pretty funny” 

“Dad was mumbling? I’ve never heard him do that before, only you.” 

“He only does it when he’s really stressed out. I’ve only heard him do it a few times. Both times he found out we were having twins,” she says laughing, “and maybe one or two other times when he was worried about you kids. It’s pretty rare. Your father is as tough as they come.” 

Dad’s pretty awesome, but personally, I think my mate is tougher than Dad. 

I immediately hear Raif purring in my mind, listening in. I hear Quirin warning Leo to be careful with Christy before he comes into our room. 

“How is our sweet Christy?” I ask him as he walks over to kiss me. 

“Better now, I think. I’ll check on her again after she moves back to the packhouse. The energy in the pack was scaring her. Did you know Leo was her mate and he rejected her?” he asks me. 

I just raise an eyebrow at him. 

“Right. Of course you did,” he says, leaning over the bed to kiss me again. “What is all of this?” he asks, gesturing to the equipment Mom brought in for the heart monitor and ultrasound. 

“This is so we can hear your baby’s heartbeat. Knowing how much Warren liked hearing our pups‘ heartbeats, I thought you’d like to hear it when Kennedy did for the first time. Even if we can’t see anything on the ultrasound, we’ll be able to hear the heartbeat.” 

He reaches out and takes my hand, squeezing it. He doesn’t say anything, staring at the equipment. Though the bond, I can feel his nervousness ratchet up along with his excitement.

Chapter 186 

“Do you want a chair, Quirin?” I ask him. Mom turns and looks at him, but he shakes his head. 

“No, I want to stand.” 

She smiles at us. “Are you ready?” 

I look at my mate and smile before nodding. Mom flips a switch and suddenly we can hear the whooshing sound of a heartbeat. 

I squeeze Quirin’s hand, realizing that he’s stopped breathing. 

+53) 

“That’s our pup?” he asks, his voice so soft I almost can’t hear him over the sound of our baby’s heartbeat. His emotions are getting stronger, swirling around inside him, and I swear I feel his heart, nearly ready to burst with excitement. I know mine 

1. is. 

“That’s your pup,” my mom says distractedly, looking at the monitor. 

“Mom?” I ask her. 

She shakes her head, but she’s frowning when she turns back to me. “Let’s see if we can get an image of this little pup,” she 

says. 

“What’s wrong, Kennedy?” Quirin asks, looking from me to my mom. 

I raise a finger, letting him know to wait. My mother should start mumbling any minute and she doesn’t disappoint me. 

“Better to be sure. No sense causing chaos if I’m wrong.” 

Quirin looks at me, frowning. ‘Chaos?‘ he asks in the mind link. 

I shrug, but I have an idea of what my mother is talking about. We just had the conversation about twins this morning. I’m guessing my mother is seeing a second heartbeat on the monitor but before she throws Quirin into the same level of stress that Dad was in when he found out he was having twins, she wants to be sure. 

“Okay, Quirin, for your knowledge and understanding, this is a ultrasound machine. I won’t bore you with the medical jargon, but basically, the wand sends sound waves into Kennedy’s body and when they bounce against something, it creates an image of what that is on the screen.” 

“So, I’ll be able to see our pup?” he asks, getting more excited and more nervous. 

“Well, it won’t be exactly what you’re used to, Quirin. But if our pup is far enough along, then yes, if Mom can get the right angle, we could see the head, the heart beating, and maybe a stomach. Our little pup is just a large peanut at this point,” I tell him. 

“Peanut, I like that. My Little Peanut,” he says, smiling. His eyes never leave the ultrasound monitor. 

Mom rubs the goo over my stomach and then begins rubbing the wand over my small baby bump. She rubs it around, pushing it into my stomach, then clicks a button. 

“See right there, Quirin? That lighter area? That’s your pup’s heart,” she says. 

He turns and looks at me, tears in his eyes. “That’s our pup’s heart,” he says, his voice strangled with the intensity of the emotions he’s feeling. 

I hold his face and kiss him, letting our love and emotions swirl between us. I’m not surprised when I feel my mother continuing to move the wand around. I’m sure she’s looking for that second heartbeat. 

“Holy Mother Moon Goddess! No wonder Echo is still weak,” my mother mumbles and I pull away from the kiss quickly.

A moment later, there’s a knock at the door and my father steps in 

“Mother? What’s going on?” I ask, getting nervous, 

1 asked your father to come in, just in case Quirin needs some support,” she says.
