The Luna's Second Chance

Chapter 45: Love, Life, and New Beginnings

**Isla's POV**

The hospital smelled sterile and clean, the scent of antiseptic lingering in the air as Isla sat on the examination table, nervously tapping her fingers against her knee. Beside her, Damian squeezed her hand gently, his eyes filled with love and excitement as they waited for the results of the latest check-up.

She had been experiencing the typical symptoms of pregnancy-morning sickness, fatigue, and the constant need to eat strange combinations of food-but today's appointment was special. Today, they would find out something they had both been eagerly anticipating.

The door creaked open, and the doctor walked in, holding a clipboard with a wide smile on her face. "Well, Isla, Damian," she began, her voice warm, "I have some wonderful news for you both."

Isla's heart raced as she exchanged a quick glance with Damian, her breath catching in her throat. "What is it?"

"You're not just expecting one baby," the doctor said, her smile widening. "You're expecting twins. A boy and a girl."

Isla's eyes widened, and her hands flew to her mouth as Damian let out a soft chuckle of disbelief, his eyes gleaming with joy. "Twins?" Isla whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.

Damian turned to her, his face alight with love. "We're going to have two babies, Isla."

Tears of happiness filled Isla's eyes as she leaned into Damian, her heart swelling with excitement and wonder. They had always dreamed of having a family, but the idea of welcoming two children-one boy and one girl-was beyond anything they had imagined.

As they left the hospital, their minds were buzzing with plans for the future, their hearts full of the love they already had for their unborn children.

Months Later...

By the time Isla reached her second trimester, the news of the twins had spread throughout the pack and beyond. Now, it was time to celebrate.

The backyard of Damian's house had been transformed into a beautiful space for the baby shower. Soft, pastel-colored decorations adorned the area-blue, pink, and yellow balloons floated in clusters, while ribbons and flowers intertwined around the garden. A large table covered with delicious snacks and desserts sat near the edge of the yard, and string lights twinkled overhead, creating a magical atmosphere.

Isla stood beside Damian, her hand resting on her growing belly, as their friends and family gathered for the celebration. She had invited neighboring packs, along with all the important people in her life-Harper, Astrid, Vivienne, Ethan, and even her brother, Kian, who sat quietly in his wheelchair beside their aunt Selena.

As the guests mingled, chatting and laughing, Isla smiled, feeling the warmth of their support. She had planned a special reveal for the twins' genders and was eager to share it with everyone.

When the time came, Isla and Damian stood in front of the guests, holding hands as Harper and Astrid set up a simple game that would reveal the news.

"Alright, everyone!" Harper called out with a grin. "It's time to find out if Isla and Damian are having boys, girls, or both! You've all made your guesses-let's see who's right!"

With a playful countdown, Isla and Damian popped the two balloons in their hands, and as they burst, blue and pink confetti filled the air.

"It's a boy and a girl!" Isla announced, her voice filled with joy.

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, everyone rushing forward to congratulate them. Damian laughed as he hugged Ethan and shared a few words with his father, who was standing beside Astrid's husband. The moment was filled with love, laughter, and happiness.
