Chapter 27 – Alana and Rhian

No One's Pov.

Jade suddenly sat up in bed, her eyes opened wide as they could be. Her mouth was opened to the shape of an O, but nothing but a gasp came out of it. Actually she looked like she was starting to hyperventilate.

Tori sad up and moved right in front of Jade "I'm having our baby. Do you remember how, due to some strange quirk of our nature, werewolf females can get each other pregnant? Well you did it. You got me pregnant." Tori said with a smile as she took Jade's hand and placed it on her belly.

Jade who was stunned beyond belief, gasped. "A Baby!"

"That's right, I've got a little princess in my belly, not to mention the future queen. That's also the reason I've been acting so strangely. Sometimes with werewolf females, they get really emotionally unstable at the beginning of pregnancy. Do you remember how emotionally all over the place I was when we first went to rescue Cat and Beck. That was a sign of it. When you kept me from going after Livia with you, I was angry. But all the pregnancy hormones amplified my anger several times. I'm sorry."

"How did you find out? You seem normal now? A baby, I can't believe it." Jade said, her hands practically shaking. Jade seemed excited but at the same time a bit freaked out.

"My mom half suspected I was pregnant, from the way I was acting, but when I nearly took my sisters head off, she was sure of it. She then took me into see my uncle who is a doctor. He ran the tests and discovered I was about a month pregnant. He also gave me some medicine that will keep my hormones from not getting totally out of wack. But they will still to a certain degree."

Jade pushed some hair that had fallen across her face as she stared at Tori's belly. "I remember something about a story about a wizard and two girls, I think. Your mom told it to me."

Tori could tell that Jade was freaking out and needed to be calmed down. "Just lay with me and I'll tell you that version of the story. There are several other versions, but that's my favorite."

Jade laid down facing Tori as she began the tale. "Well a very long time ago in a small valley there was two girls. Their names were Alana and Rhian. They lived near each other in this small valley and ever since child hood they spent nearly every waking our together. Walking, playing in the fields and forests, in both wolf and in human form. There were other people their ages but they preferred each other's company."

All the while Tori told the story, she gently stroked Jade's hair. Jade as she listened to the story started to calm down.

"Well as they got older the other males tried to court them and get them to be their mates. But whenever one would talk to a boy, the other would get sad. Seeing the other one sad was too unbearable. So they both chose no one. Still their parents wanted them to choose a mate. One day while sitting a big rock on a warm summer's day Rhian said to Alana.

"My parents want me to choose a mate, but I don't want to choose a mate, I want to be with you."

Being the slightly braver one, Alana took Rhian's hand. "I only want to be with you. You can choose a mate. Choose me. For I love you more than anyone else in the valley."

Nothing thrilled Rhian more than the prospect of being Alana's mate. She quickly shed a tear. "You would have me as your mate. Nothing would make me happier. I love you."
