Bloom Moon Book 2

Chapter 15

"Isaac!" I sang as Derek and I walked through the front door of our house after we came back from our honeymoon.

I heard a thump from upstairs before Isaac came bounding down and collided into me, latching onto me and burying his head in my shoulder as he hugged me. I giggled and hugged him back before he went behind me and hugged Derek.

I smiled before making my way upstairs to our room. The small suitcase was yanked from my hand and I saw Derek walking behind me with it in his hand.

"I'm not incompetent, I can carry a suitcase." I remarked, arching an eyebrow. He shrugged and nudged my back to keep me moving.

"Steph!" Allison yelled, running and nearly knocking me over as she hugged me. "I had nothing to do the past two weeks when you left me!"

"I'm not your only friend." I laughed lightly. "Unless you've turned into a complete loner, but then I could understand that." I teased. She pouted and squished my cheeks between her hands, making herself laugh. "You're a strange one." I muttered, batting her hands away.

"You're lucky I love you." She scowled playfully. I grinned at her.

"Scott, can you sniff me?" He gave me a weird look. "Derek says I smell different, do I?" He leant closer and sniffed a little.

"You smell a little sweeter than the last time I saw you." He replied.

"That's what he said." I frowned slightly. "Do you know why?" Scott shook his head.

"Ask Deaton, he might know."

"Scott, I'm stealing your girl for a couple hours." I stated. Allison cheered and Scott shook his head with a smile.

"Yeah, Steph and Alli time!" she grinned. I laughed and pulled her out the house, seeing Derek and Isaac cutting more wood for the fire.

"Derek, can I borrow the Camaro please?" I asked sweetly. I saw him roll his eyes before pulling the keys from his back pocket and throwing them at me. I let out a squeal as I caught them and saw a smile lift his lips. "Thank you!" I ran over and kissed him before Allison and I jumped into his car. I groaned when the engine roared to life. "This car is sex on wheels." I remarked.

"I agree." Allison added before I started driving towards the animal clinic where I hoped Deaton would be.

*************************************************

Deaton met us in the reception as the small bell sounded when Allison opened the door. He smiled when he saw us.

"Stephanie, when did you get back?" he asked, motioning us into the back room.

"Around nine this morning." I replied, both of us following him into the back of the clinic. "Um, I need to ask you something. Scott said you could help, seeing as you know all this werewolf stuff." He chuckled and indicated for me to go on. "Derek and Scott say I smell different."

"In what way?"

"They said my scent is sweeter." I elaborated, making his eyebrows rise. "You know what's wrong with me?" I asked hopefully.

"Well, if they say your scent is sweeter to them; then it's not really a problem as such."

"What do you mean?" Allison asked. Deaton clasped his hands together in front of him as he smiled.

"It usually means that you've conceived." He stated. Allison's jaw dropped and I stared at him with wide eyes.

"Wait! A week ago I felt something; it was like a small flutter, in my stomach." I said slowly as it stated sinking in. Deaton smiled.
