Changes (Book 3)

Chapter 15

---Alyssa

It was supposed to be the end of my first trimester within a couple of weeks.  Matt was out taking care of a few things when I called him.  "Matty?"

"Ali-cat, what's wrong?"

"My mom's taking me to the hospital."

"I'll be right there.  Alyssa, what is wrong?"  I hung up on him.

Matt arrived at the hospital just as the doctor confirmed the miscarriage.  "Aly, I think you should mve back home for a couple of days."  my dad said.

"No, I want to stay with Matt."  Matt gave me a hug pressing his face into my shoulder.

"Aly, I think it would be best."

"I'm an adult.  I can make my own decisions dad.  I want to stay with Matt."

"Nathan, her wolf will heal faster."  my mom said.

"Fine.  In the end she'll just do what she wants anyway."

Two months later, I hadn't been back to see my parents since the miscarriage.  Matt and I were officially engaged and it was Christmas.  Matt pulled up beside the sidewalk.  He got out and grabbed the presents from the trunk.  I got out and walked up to the door with Matt beside me.  I knocked on the front door and Liam answered it.  "Hey little sis."

"Hey Liam."  he gave me a hug.

"Hey Matt, how's it going?"

"Pretty good and you?"

"Great.  You two have to meet Melissa."  Matt and I stepped in.  Liam took the gifts from Matt and Matt helped me with my coat.  My mom came in.

"ALI!"  she gave me a big hug.  "You haven't came by and anytime I stopped by the pack house you weren't there."

"Dad kind of made it clear that I'm a disappointment."  I said.

"He's had to deal with me ever since that day.  He feels awful.  He's at work now and he's afraid you two wouldn't show up for Christmas."

Before dinner, my dad walked in and the look on his face turned into full on relief when he saw Matt and I in the kitchen helping my mom.  "You two decided to show up."

"It's kind of lonely celebrating a holiday with only 2 people."  I said.

"She talks way to much."  Matt said.

After dinner, my mom and I were in the kitchen with Lena and Eliza.  They both were expecting and I didn't think I should say anything.  Last thing I wanted was to cause a fight between Matt and my dad.  Why was it such a big deal for me and not for them?  Older, yes, but they weren't even engaged to Travis and Jeremiah.  My dad walked in with Matt.  

"I'm one month pregnant."  I said and my dad looked up.  "We've been engaged for almost 2 months and we both agreed to get married before the baby gets here."

"Oh my God, what's your due date?"

"August 9th."

"We should all go baby shopping and have a baby shower as a big party."  Eliza said.

"Congratulations."  my dad said.

Eliza, Lena, and I were on the way to get ice cream.  Lena was 3 months pregnant and Eliza was 2 months pregnant.  I was sitting in the back seat receiving texts from Matthew.  "LENA WATCH OUT!"  I said.
