#1 Lycan (Final Edit)

Chapter 21

21 (final copy)

It's been about four months since I found out I was having a baby girl. Four months since I got my mother's wedding dress. Four months since I found out that I'm half werewolf and half vampire. Four months since I found out that Alistair, the man who turned my daughter, was my biological father. Four months since I found out my mother isn't actually dead, but alive. And the fact she doesn't want me to find her. I've held this secret to myself for four months. There have been multiple nights where I've just cried myself to sleep at night. I couldn't handle it all. I still can't. My mother, the woman who birthed me, cared for you, tucked me in, played with my hair when I was scared. She didn't want me.

I quickly shot up in bed. Something was off. Wiping the sweat over my forever, I swing myself to sit on the edge of the bed. I look around, wondering if something was off here. Nothing. Maybe I'm just paranoid and just dreaming of things. Like I have every night for the past four months. Then there was a strange pain--feeling it again. I put my hand on my stomach, as my eyes widened. I reach my arm out and shake Jeremiah's arm.

"Jer, wake up."

"Babe? What's wrong?"

"The baby." I say, quickly.

"What about the baby- Oh." He says, "Baby is coming. Holy Sh- She's coming. I'll get the bag."

He uses his werewolf speed to race around the room. I climb off the bed, and try to change out of my pjs. I put on a navy blue tee shirt dress, slipping on black shoes as I walk out of the room. Jeremiah walks up next to me, holding three bags. This dude really pack three bags? I only told him to pack one. I laugh to myself.

"Are you okay?"

"Fine. Just shut up and let's get to the doctors." I say, "Crap!"

"What?"

"Luciana." I quickly pull my phone out and dial Lily's number.

"Why the heck are you calling me at this hour?"

"I'm having the baby, go wake up Miles and watch Luciana."

"Oh Sh- okay on my way to her nursery."

"Thank you Lily."

"Of course, good luck. Keep me posted."

"Will do." I say, hanging up, "Okay now we can go."

"Okay Luna, you need to push one more time." Doctor Demi says.

"I can't." I cry out, as I squeeze Jeremiah's hand.

"Yes you can," He says, kissing my forehead, "You are a strong and powerful wolf mama."

"It hurts Jer."

"You can do this Zelda," He whispers, "You are not alone."

"Right," I nod, "Let's do this."

"Okay Luna, push."

"Okay." I nod, pushing hard. I feel Jeremiah squeeze my hand, as I squeeze his harder. I sigh out, hearing a baby's cry. I cry out as well.

"Congrats Alpha and Luna Throndsen. A healthy baby girl." Doctor Demi says, "Would you like to clean her up or hold her now?"

"Hold her now please." I say, as the doctor cuts a few things, before putting Ember onto my chest. I stare down at my baby girl in awe.

"Hi baby girl." I whisper, rubbing her back slightly.

"She looks like you." Jeremiah says, as I look at him. He had this twinkle in his eye as he stared at our daughter.

"She also looks like you." I laugh.
