Chapter 47

Melody was sitting back, lost in thought. 'Mom being here has made life so much better.'

'You don't worry so much with her here. I like how she is with our pups; she plays with them like we do.'

'Harmony, you can say the silliest things. Where do you think I learned how to be with the pups. Mom has always been this kind and a giving woman.'

While Melody was lost talking with Harmony, Anthony walked in. "What are you thinking about? You look like you are off in your own little world."

"I was in my own little world. Thinking about how things have gotten better with Mom here. Harmony and I feel more relaxed."

"I like your mom, she is special. Her mothering instincts are wonderful. She is mothering all of us and we are grown." Anthony chuckles. He rubs Melody's belly as he sits next to her. "How are hospital rounds going? You're starting to get big, being on your feet and the long hours are not good for you. I don't want you to wear yourself out."

"I won't lie the rounds are tiring, the nurses are allowing me to take breaks during the day, so I am resting. With there only being two interns, the work schedule is easier. School is over after these last two classes, so everything is working out."

"You only have one year left after these classes, right?"

"I will have to intern for one more year then I am a wolfen doctor."

"How are you going to intern being that pregnant?"

"That is why I am doing summer internship. The others start in late September, I am starting now. The pups are due in September, so they are letting me do seven weeks of the internship now and finish up after I have the pups, around November."

"This sounds like a lot of stress on you. We can put it off and have you finish up a few months late. I truly don't want you stressing out about things."

"You have a meeting and will be late if you don't get going."

He gives her a kiss. "I love you and will see your stubborn ass tonight."

"I love you too, Anthony, and I am not stubborn. Just right."

He looks over his shoulder as he goes out the door. "You are stubborn, but I can deal with it."

Melody is running to a meeting doing her Luna duties. "Papa Charley, can you take the twins for about an hour. The nanny is off today, and I can't take them being this big to the meeting by myself. Mom said she could relieve you then if I am not back."

"I can handle them; we will play in the back yard. They love the play gym you built for them."

"Bye, Papa Charley. Thanks a lot." Melody gets in the car, 'I don't know how I would make it through this without all their help. Grandparents are the best. Harmony, help me remember to talk to Anthony about getting another nanny.'

'I like Harriet. Why are you getting rid of her?'

'I'm not. I thought with there being two more she might need help. Harriet is the best with the twins, and they love her. Bethanie is here already I better get in the meeting.'

"Hi Melody, it looks like we are both running late."

"Just a little, how is school going?"

"I wanted to become a doctor like you, but I have gotten interested in hematology. You know breaking down the blood and seeing what makes us tick."

"So, you are going to work in labs and not with patients."

Bethanie becomes a little serious. "I will still work with patients just not as closely. I will draw their blood and check on different skin conditions for example. I want to help cure cancer. That is one tricky disease."
