Chapter 86

Pregnant

Three days after Katy arrived the new training cycle started. Chris was training two classes a day. Plus, we have been taking Royal leadership lessons, we had to learn to be the next King and Queen. The pups, lessons, working at the orphanage, and training two classes of females how to fight, I was tired, too tired. What little time we had left we spent with each other.

Mariah, what is wrong with me, Im so tired?

Stop playing you know what is wrong with us. Now go and see the doctor to make sure we are right.

Ill go this afternoon. But if Im pregnant its your fault!

I already said Im sorry, and you havent let me run since then. That is not fair because if you are I cant run for months.

That is what you get for being bad and not listening to me.

You fool around too. It isnt fair I have to be good.

If I am pregnant, I am not too far along I will take you for a run tonight. You big baby.

Later that afternoon she is sitting in the doctors office waiting to be seen. Hi, doctor. I came in for a checkup.

Princess you are never sick. What is wrong?

I have been really tired lately and even when I get a good nights sleep I am tired. I also have been sick off and on.

Is there any chance you could be pregnant?

I shouldnt be I havent gone into heat yet and we have been being careful.

What about your wolf has she been careful?

No, she hasnt, she was not good three almost four weeks ago.

We should take a test and see what it says. He hands me a cup and I head to the bathroom. He takes the cup, and I am left sitting waiting to see what it says. The doctor comes back with a smile. Well, Princess, would you like to see how the pup is doing?

I cant believe I am pregnant again. Ray already knows its twins, but she wants to see them. It would be nice to see a picture of them.

The gel is cold. The doctor says smiling. Well look here, there is one baby, baby A, there is two babies, baby B. Wait, over there is a third baby, baby C.

Wait! Three? There is only supposed to be two!

What do you mean? The doctor is looking at Ray confused by her statement.

The prophecy said two not three.

Well, I dont know about prophecy, but you are having three and there is a shadow that might be a fourth.

No! Ray whispers in her shock as the doctor moves the wand.

It is four.

No, no not that again. Ray is starting to panic.

Is there something wrong?

Im sorry doctor, its just I have four at home and they arent but nine months old.

Well, you are about four to five weeks, and they are all doing well.

Thanks, doctor. Please dont tell anyone, I want to tell Chris first.

Of course, Princess.

As Ray leaves the office she starts to yell at Mariah. Mariah, what happened?

No one said you wouldnt have more than the twins.

Mariah, make sense for once. Tell me what you know.

The moon goddess never gives me details, she said they were needed in the future. There is something coming, the moon goddess didnt tell me what but its big. They will all have a gift.

You said elements! What gifts will they have?

One is to be a healer. But there is supposed to be four only not three I dont know why the doctor didnt see number four. The other two you know about. You will be getting your son and the other little girl who will be the spirit element. Your son will lead the battle that is coming.

Why? Why four and not two? We could have done two then later have the other two. I have a good mind to tell the moon goddess what I think of her plan.

Let me find out about the fourth one and I will get back to you.

You do that and tell her what I said about two at a time. MY body is not going to recover from having four again. It is not fair.

The moon goddess has her reasons. She has given me a hint why she is doing this. The one thing she has explained is most gifted wolves dont make it to adult hood. When the element wolves were born to other families, one at a time they did not survive. The few that did, never found the other element wolves. They need each other to stay safe.

I can understand that, all being in one family. I just dont know why it had to be four, couldnt it have been two one time and two the next. Even if I had to get pregnant three or four times. You know how hard it was on me last time.

Go play with the pups I will talk to the goddess and see what she has to say about this mess.

You already talked to her. It isnt going to change things. Ray walks off not happy with any of this and she is so mad at Mariah.

An hour later Mariah peeks in Rays mind. The moon goddess told me there is four and two of them are healers. The extra two need to be protected they cant use powers to keep themselves safe. In the future they will help their sisters fight and beat whatever is out there. They can heal the others if they get hurt or if they are almost dead. The others will defend them, you must instill that they are needed in the future.

I guess we cant talk her out of this can we? Did you mention about two and two?

You should be proud of yourself. She said you were the purest wolf and had the most protective drive. That you would keep them all safe.

I am glad she is so pleased with me. I just wish that I could of gotten a break.

To tell the truth she didnt plan on any more for two more years. She told me I should have listened to you and behaved.

This is getting to be too much, what is Chris going to say with four more. I am telling him it is all your fault. No, yours and Apollos.

I dont know what he is going to say, but I am glad I dont have to tell him.

We will have to tell him. You are going to help me, I dont know how to tell him. He worries so much now, what is going to do with worrying about four more.

He will be so happy wait and see. Mariah grins. Male wolves love having babies. Humans are not into babies like wolves are. His wolf will talk to him and he will be fine wait and see.

You know this is your fault, Mariah. Ray scolds, You couldnt control yourself now look at me.

We already went over this. It was going to happen sooner or later. Ray glares at her and growls. Dont you dare make excuses and act like you didnt plan this.

I got carried away, Apollo is so strong and cute. Can you forgive me please? Then she makes those big sad puppy eyes.

I know where I get those eyes from. You are not running for the next four months.
