Why The Hell Not (Currently Editing)

His Second Chance

Zara
The conversation we had in the car about kids kept replaying in my head. What if I was pregnant right now? Am I ready to be a mother at just 17 years old? I'm still in school and I'm in charge of a whole pack, could I add a child to that? Could I make time for them all?

My wolf loved the idea. She has held her head high since her new statuses became official. She's always wanted lots of pups and I wouldn't mind, but is now a good time? I mean Malakai and I relationship still needs work, a lot of work. We're definitely overdue for a talk.

Right now, I was sitting in the living room with Zoey. I've been catching her up on everything since the last time we texted. We were laid out on the couch with a big fluffy cover. We had ice cream and lots of toppings in front of us, with a good movie and good vibes.

Malakai was off making sure our pack was running smoothly. Checking on families, our warriors, hunters, paperwork, etc. I was meant to go with him today, but I couldn't leave her by herself. He said that I can start fresh when she's gone. I'm actually excited to start my Luna duties, Kylie said that it's hard work but it's very rewarding.

"He's a damn airhead!" Zoey exclaimed.  "And they're both a little looney. fucking insane if you will!"

"As hell! And it's only been 4 days!" I said in disbelief myself. It felt so good to finally talk to someone about all of this, especially Zoey. This has been the craziest few weeks of my life!! 

"I mean, what did he even check on her for?" She asked.

"No clue, I didn't really get to ask that before it happened. I was in heat by time he got home."

"Oh before he impregnated you?" She asked, squirting some chocolate syrup in her mouth then eating a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I rolled my eyes.

She could've just put some chocolate syrup on top of her ice cream, but she said that's a big commitment to a topping. She instead thinks it's better to take a mouth full of random roping then add the ice cream in her mouth, or vice versa.

"We don't know if I'm pregnant" I said, laughing because she now has some chocolate all over her shirt. 

"I think it's going to be a girl. What are you going to name her?" she asked. "You know they want you to keep the 'Z's' going"

"Well, I don't think I have many options. Pretty much our whole family name starts with a 'Z'. I'd have to reuse names or something"

"Sounds like you gotta get creative. What about Zariona?"

"Stop! I might not even be pregnant" I protested.

She gave me an accusing look. "You said he left it inside of you for like 3 whole minutes after he—"

"Shhh! That's confidential information" I laughed. Maybe I told her a bit too much, but it just felt so nice to talk to a friend. My lips just started moving and they still haven't stopped.

"Whatever, I'm happy for you. He just need to get his priorities straight"

"He better! Especially with the marking thing. Now he'll finally be able to feel what I feel" I said finishing my bowl.

"Back to my cousin, will she be born an Alpha like Malakai, or have will she have to earn it? Well, I guess a girl can't be an Alpha..., right"

A girl has never been an Alpha before, but an Alpha has never been younger than 21 before either. 

"I'm not sure...all that's up to Kai I guess." I shrugged.

I placed my hand over my stomach and rubbed it, what if I had a baby cooking in here? What would their future look like? Before my mind could race any further there was a knock at the door.
