Rejection's Chains

~*28*~ The introduction

Jess's POV

I held pickle in my arms slowly adjusting myself on the hospital bed. I stared at his little flushed face rattling my brain for possible names but nothing seemed right for him. With a sigh of defeat I put him back on his crib.

Who knew birth could be so painful no one ever told me I would be bleeding this much continuously for like 40 days. I feel like an adult baby continuously changing my own diaper.

The doctors and nurses were always busy but for some reason it seemed like today was even busier than usual, apparently an important patient had come in and taken about 20 doctors. I just want to be back in my room already I would have also liked to see Leon and.... no I need to stop I can't continuously think about him like this his mate is alive and probably even well he went to find her I can't continue thinking like this, I should simply thank the moon goddess for allowing me to keep my baby.

The next few days flew by I stayed in the hospital for only about 3 days trying to recover from the immense amount of pain labour had put onto my body. Before I knew it I was packing my bags and moving back into my room.

Things in the pack house were weird it was almost like everyone had something to celebrate about I would hope it was about my baby but their excitement seemed much bigger. I walked into my room and put baby pickle in the cot that they had put into my room.

Unzipping my bag I grabbed baby clothes and diapers and put them to a side, however my unpacking was cut short by a knock on my door.

Before I could reply to the knock an ecstatic Pheonix rushed in hardly containing herself, she tried to talk but it all just came out as a big muffle,

"Pheonix darling I can't understand a thing your trying to say let's calm down take a few deep breathes and then let's talk" I said chuckling,

"Jess I'm so excited I can't breathe Daddys back and he brought mummy with him! Jess I'm so happy I get to see mummy again!!" Pheonix started to jump up and down in my room not being able to hold in the happiness she felt.

I felt a dagger slowly tearing my heart. I really shouldn't feel like this I should be happy for him but I can't help it, for a few days I thought I had found a mate in him I mean could you blame me?! He showed me kindness he showed me that he cared, he overlooked all my faults. It's my own mistake I shouldn't have let my guard down so easily.

"Jess are you ok?" Pheonix asked with a worried look,

"Yes sorry, I'm completely fine just took a while to process all that. I'm so happy for you Pheonix" I said placing my hand on her face gazing at her softly, I should be happy for her she can finally see her mother again.

" but mummy's in the hospital I can't see her yet daddy said that apparently she needed to get a check up" she sighed looking at her feet,

"I'm sure you will see her soon don't worry" I said smiling.

Pheonix walked towards pickles cot and giggled,

"I'm sure mummy will be rushing out the hospital to see me" she said placing her small finger into the hands of baby pickle.

"Have you thought of a name yet?" She asked looking at me,

Sighing I replied "no, for some reason nothing fits him"

" I once read in one of daddy's books about a name that meant gift I think pickle is one of the greatest gifts in your life Jess" she said smiling at me,

"Your right he really truly is, so what was the name?"

"Zane... it was Zane"

The name was perfect I couldn't help but smile.
