Broken and saved

To Soon

Alexis' POV



I had been on bed rest for two weeks, my pregnant stomach has swollen up loads, the baby are constantly moving and kicking, making me tired and grouchy all the time.



I shuffle around, trying to make myself comfortable, but am unsuccessful. A sharp kick hits my ribs, making me whine in the back of my throat so I don't worry Hayden who won't leave my side.



For the last few days the boys had been more active than ever before, delighting Hayden who loved feeling their kicks, so I had to pretend they didn't hurt me, otherwise Hayden would feel bad and blame my pain on himself.



One of the baby's has decided to take route on my bladder, meaning I constantly needed the toilet throughout the day, making it impossible to go out anywhere.



I had daily ultrasounds now to monitor my baby boy. We still haven't decided on names for the boys, but we have decided that the alpha pup will have 'Hayden' as its middle name, but that's as far as we could agree.



According to the doctor, two of the pups were now at a healthy weight, and are on track to being at the perfect birth weight by the time of delivery. However, my other pup is still very weak, having not further developed from the time that he and his brothers were at the same size.



This has worried the doctor greatly as a undeveloped pup can have serious problems due to them being born earlier than human baby's, so if undeveloped, they are born seriously premature meaning they may have many problems later on in life. Since our baby is a werewolf pup, it should have a better chance at survival, but there is still a chance of fatality for either the pup or I, though it is obvious that I would happily give my life to save his.



Hayden enters the room, a grin on his face and a tray of food in hand. My mouth waters at the sight and scent, ever since I had entered my second trimester, two months along in my werewolf pregnancy as that is a third along, I had begun craving ice lolly's, especially the strawberry ones, dipped in honey. And a side of ketchup.



These foods in one mixture made Hayden feel sick apparently; according to him it was a 'sugary disaster' and 'disgusting concoction of foods that should never mix'.



I personally believe that these foods together is delicious, and don't know why I never tried it before.



He rests the tray with three ice lolly's, a jar of honey and a bowl of ketchup on the nightstand, along with a big glass of water and my prenatal vitamins.



He hands me the tablets and then the glass. I throw the tablets in my mouth, pulling a face at the horrid taste before swallowing half the glass of water.



He takes the glass away and hands me a ready-made ice lolly with the honey and ketchup already on top.



I quickly pop it into my mouth, moaning at the delicious food that is making my taste buds tingle.



Hayden pulls a disgusted face before placing his hands on my swollen stomach, his face lighting up as a baby kicks his hand. I immediately jumped up, and ran, well waddled to the bathroom, hearing Hayden's laughter as I did so.



I quickly use the bathroom and head for Hayden who is facing the window in our room, not paying attention to his surroundings.



I scream loudly behind him and laugh as he jumps in the air, turning to me and scanning the area with wary eyes.



Suddenly my laughing comes to a =n abrupt ending when I suddenly feel wetness between my legs.



"Oh god!" I cry in embarrassment, "I can't believe I wet myself!"



My embarrassment I furthered when Hayden doesn't comment just stands, staring at me with his mouth wide open in shock.



"Hey! No need to stare!" I shout angrily, hitting him on his arm in a feeble attempt to hurt him.



"Were going to have a baby" he tells me, shock in his eyes.



"Yes, I know hon. In fact were having three as you very well know" I reply, exasperated by his stupidity.



"No, I mean were going to have a baby now, that water is clear not yellow. Baby, your waters just broke!"



The first thing I said after this was "Shite!"



"Hayden, are you going to just stand there or are you going to get me to the pack hospital!" I demand, heading over to the wardrobe and grabbing my hospital bag.



He soon snaps out of it, running to the car and starting the engine, then running back and picking me up, careful of my stomach.



We drive quickly to the pack hospital, where I am rushed by wheelchair to my room, which as I am the alphas mate is stunning. It has everything I would need to live with, a small kitchen, bathroom, big bed, and even a massive TV on the wall in front of the bed. The only difference is that there is state of the art equipment in this room, so the staff are prepared for anything.



A heart rate monitor is strapped onto my stomach to monitor the triplet's heart rates and soon the sound lulls me into a peaceful sleep.



I awake later, when I feel a sharp pain around my stomach like a steel band tightening around me, stopping my movements.



Hayden notices I am awake and runs over to me, imediatiatly placing his hand in mine and kisses my forehead.



"They said you would awake soon, you were asleep for ten hours and you are seven centimetres already, so you only have to dialate another three. Apparently they believe your wolf has been taking your pain for the last few hours so you could buil up the energy to push those pups out." He tells me, kissing all over my face at the end.



The doctor choses this moment to enter, clipboard in hand.



"May I have a word with the Luna, please? Alone" he emphasises at the end, looking to Hayden, asking him to leave.



Hayden kisses my lips quickly, before leaving, telling me he will be back soon.



"Luna, I need to discuss something with you about the birth, and I need to know your decision, not one swayed by the Alpha" he tells me, his voice deadly serious.



"Ok, well what would you like to know?" I ask, wondering what he needs to know that Hayden cant know.



"Well, you see. Your birth is high risk as you are one and a half month's premature. Therefore, in the case that we have to choose between you and the pups, I need to know who I should focus on saving" he informs me, his voice is calm but I know his wolf is whining at the thought of his Luna or future alphas pups dying.



I don't answer for a second, as a painful contraction hits me.



"The pups" I say with no hesitation once the pain has subsided, "save the pups, and then try and save me."



He nods his head then leaves the room quickly as he hears the footsteps of Hayden approaching.



"hey baby, how are you?" He asks.



Then suddenly the worst pain of my life hits me.



The doctors run in and place my legs in stirrups, before telling me to push, and counting with me to ten.



The rest is a blur of pain, sweat and tears. All I remember is the pain of the first two coming out, and their strong, healthy cries, then the small sting of the next baby's birth, followed by no cry at all.



"Nurse, the baby is not responding to resuscitation, please get him down to the intensive care unit, and get his lungs cleared along with oxygen, and whatever else you find he needs" The doctor tells the nurse, passing my baby boy to her.



His body is tiny, and so frail. A sob escapes my throat, and I cry into Hayden's shirt.



"Hey, he'll be ok, and the other two are just perfect baby, thnk you so much!" he cries, kissing my hand and face all over. "It's all over now, now its up to them, you have to trust them to help him" he tells me, and soon I have cried myself to sleep.



(please give me some name suggestions !!!🐭🐼🐥🐵)
