"You are wonderful. Anything you need you just ask." he smiles and nods. I just let him cook. When Ellia runs in she has the test in her hand.

"Him first, did he?"

"He took it and it was positive. He's just being cautious about it because of what happened. The doctor gave him some advice. What about you?" she runs over and jumps into my lap.

"I'm pregnant too."I get a huge kiss and she runs over to Ellis.

"What did the doctor tell you, I should be easy as well just for good measure."

"She said balanced nutrition, nothing strenuous, which includes sex. She said I could have sex but to just be gentle and easy with it. She recommended a nap each day as well."

"Right, well we can do that. I know we'll make it through this together." she says hugging him. She giggles.

"This is going to be so much fun doing this together." she says and squeezes him one last time before grabbing out plates. Looking over I want to know Brock's reaction to this.

"So, how do you feel about becoming a daddy?" he chuckles.

"I'm scared to death but excited. We should tell mom and dad. Ever talk to them?"

"Got a text from mom. It's what we thought they were trying to let us settle in as mated men and Alpha's. then they were going to start popping up all the time. Got your phone? Want to call and tell them the news?"

"Not yet. Lets give it a few days then we'll tell them and the pack." I knew why. He was as afraid as the rest of us that Ellis would miscarry, or even Ellia. The only thing we could do was be careful and take our time.

Brock and I both knew we shouldn't but we hovered over Ellis and Ellia like broody hens. Brock was neglecting paperwork for the pack construction business and I'd not gone on patrol in five days. I needed to do that. Ellis wasn't bothered by our hovering but I could tell Ellia was starting to get annoyed. The final straw came when we suggested, politely, that since they were pregnant we wanted them to stay home and let us do the grocery shopping that week. Ellia glared hands on hips.

"We can go to the store. All we do is walk around and point out what we want. There's nothing stressful about that. However being kept here like a broken toy makes me very stressed." she says and crosses her arms. I looked at Ellis, before I could suggest that he should at least stay home he sighed and crossed his arms as well.

"I need to be careful not act like I'm dying. The doctor said in the email I got a couple days ago that I should try to do a good walk three times a week as long as I'm not to tired. I'll go shopping today that'll be my walk for today." I sighed.

"Alright but..."

"If you feel bad tell us immediately." Brock finishes for me when I stop because I didn't want to make him mad, that was stressful. The entire trip to the store and back I kept right with them and eyes on them to make sure they didn't get tired. We were nearly finished when I see Ellis start to sway.

'Brock, catch Ellis.' I shout quickly. Brock turns and darts forward to catch Ellis. Lowering him to the floor with Ellia hovering. I whimpered and licked his cheek.

"Ellis, wake up baby. Come on. Open your eyes." Ellis blinked and looked up at me.

'How do you feel?' I ask him licking his cheek.

"I'm okay. What happened?"

"You fainted baby. Have you been feeling bad, you said you'd tell us?"

"I was a little tired but nothing bad. A little hungry. All this food making it worse. I really feel alright. I'm a little light headed but I feel fine."

'Uh-huh, why don't I believe that.' I say staring at him. He winces. 'I saw that. Tell me the truth.' he pushed up and held tight to the cart. 'Ellis, sweet tell the truth, how do you feel?'

"Okay so I'm pretty tired, I'm really hungry, my head is swimming some."

"We're going home." Brock says and puts his arm around Ellis. Ellia quickly checks out and we hurry home. I don't wait but shift and carry him up to the bed.

"Lay here, I'll go down and get you food. Does something sound good?"

"Some Mac and Cheese. We bought that microwave stuff."

"Alright, I'll be right back, just lay here." he nods. I hurry down and Ellia gets the food for him. She adds on some cottage cheese and an apple for him. Carrying it back up I let him sit up and eat, then make him lay down and go to sleep. Laying behind him I cuddled him up. Before letting him go to sleep I reach up and tweak his nose.

"Next time you tell us you are feeling bad."

"But I was alright and we were almost done."

"You weren't alright. You fainted. If Brock hadn't caught you you'd have fallen on hard tile. Scared me to death." I held him tight burying my nose in his shoulder. "Losing another baby would be devastating but losing you... I don't think I'd live through it."

"Sorry." he says. I see a little head pop over the side of the bed. Honey did a couple tries and finally jumped up on the bed on her own. She flopped in front of Ellis and went to sleep. She was just like having a little kid around. Did really good with entertaining herself most of the time but loved to cuddle when we slept and insisted on following Ellia around as much as possible.
