The Pack Rebel

3. Tense Reunion

Cleo's P.O.V

"Look who finally woke up." I open the door, then reveal Julian on the other side. Luna Tahlia hands the baby back to Mckelty as she settles back into her now clean bed.

"Kel, I'm so sorry. I don't know what else to say." Julian apologizes, then walks into the room, and falls to his knees. His eyes go wide as he sees Mckelty hold the blanketed baby close to her chest. Mckelty's eyes narrow, then fall to the baby as her expression softens and she coos at him.

"Kel, come on. At least Julian tried to keep a level head." I express, both Julian and Mckelty look at me with curious eyes.

"We should dispose of that, and we will need to get weight and height measurements on the baby for his records." Luna Tahlia points at the two towels covering the placenta, then points at the baby.

"It's a boy?" Julian gasps as he realizes what the gender of the baby is.

"Congrats." I walk up to Julian and clap him on the back. Julian looks at me with a questioning look.

"If you guys take him to the infirmary, can I go as well?" I look to Mckelty and watch as her grip tightens around the baby.

"Yes, we are not about to take a newborn away from its mother." Luna Tahlia explains, Mckelty nods, then slowly gets out of the bed. Julian rushes to Mckelty and helps steady her. They both walk to myself and Luna Tahlia. I walk back to the tied up towel and pick it up.

"Alright, let's get to the infirmary." I say and walk to the bedroom door.

"Is there an easier way to get down to the infirmary, instead of the stairs?" Mckelty asks, the pain clear in her voice.

"Yes, we do have the elevator, remember?" Luna Tahlia explains, Mckelty nods as we walk toward it.

"I don't know how we forget about the elevator." Julian exclaims, the baby begins to whine from Julian being too loud. Mckelty narrows her eyes at Julian and he places his hands over his mouth.

"Sorry." Julian says as we get to the elevator, I press the down button, the elevator opens and we all get on. The ride to the bottom of the elevator is silent, the only noises are those the baby makes.

"Have you come up with a name?" I ask as the elevator reaches the main floor.

"We really only had one boy name and one girl name picked out, and by default the boy name wins." Julian says as he holds the elevator open for us. We all get off, and carefully make our way to the infirmary.

"His name is Noah Dean Callahan." Mckelty proudly says as she keeps her eyes on baby Noah, and lightly strokes his cheek.

"It's fitting, he is the perfect combination of the both of you. He has his fathers hair, his mothers face shape, fathers chin, mothers Hazel eyes, fathers nose, and mothers ears." Luna Tahlia observes as we walk into the infirmary.

"Where do we need to?" Mckelty questions, I point to the bed closest to us, Mckelty makes her way over to the bed, and lightly sits on its edge.

"I went ahead and printed out a birth chart page, when you called for me. I figured it would be needed since the rest of the nursing staff had to be called to the hospital." Luna Tahlia explains. I walk to the corner of the room and roll the machines that are needed over to Mckelty.

"Alright, Kel. Place him on here." I say, as I point to a long adjustable board with guards on it. I move the foot part of the board up until it touches baby Noah's feet. I look at the number and write it on the birth chart.

"Okay, now move him over here." I instruct, as the light of the baby scale turns green. Mckelty lays Noah on the scale, and the scale loads for a few seconds then reveals his weight.
