Run Away Royal

Chapter 21

Hearing the crying of a baby I opened my eyes. Ronnie set me down on my feet as I came out of my sleepy haze. I rubbed my eyes and examined the room.

Eric was holding his hands over his ears and glaring daggers my way. I just chuckled and walked over and picked up the crying infant from next to him.

"Shh George. Little brother please stop crying." I whispered. His face unscrunched and he stared at me with his glowing green eyes. My breath hitched as they seemed to hypnotize me.

"You're beautiful." I whispered. Ronnie walked up behind me and put his hands on my waist. He smiled down at George and tickled under his chin making him laugh and grab Ronnie's finger.

"He likes you." I whispered. Ronnie kissed my temple. My baby brother yawned and proceeded to fall asleep.

I looked to Eric who was watching us. "I'm so proud of you. My brave boy." I said tears forming in my eyes. Ronnie took George from me and I embraced Eric.

"Mom I was so worried that you were going to get hurt." He sobbed.

"I would never leave you my son. We won Eric, she's dead." I whispered.

He sniffled and sobbed. He calmed down after a while and said,"I knew you'd avenge my parents and everyone else she's caused pain for."

I rubbed his back and kissed his forehead. "I want you to go to bed now, alright?"

"Ok mom, I'm going to spend the night with Marcie." He said running off.

I stood up and walked over to Ronnie. He handed the baby back to me and I lead him out of his room and outside. My father stood there with my mother in his grasp.

"Father." I said. He looked at me then down at the child in my arms. He looked to mother hesitantly. She smiled gracefully and walked over.

"Oh Faith he's beautiful isn't he. I'm so glad I was able to spell that ratchet woman's ova. I made it so my eggs would switch with hers. This beautiful boy is ours fully." She said looking to father.

He stared at her lovingly as she took little George from my arms. I smiled as my father examined him.

"I could tell he wasn't hers. He has that sparkle in his eye, same as you." I said.

"Same as you too, love." Ronnie said lovingly. I grinned at him and my mother ogled over us.

After paying respect to all the lost fighters with a traditional pack howl and run in the night Ronnie and I went back to our room and sat down.

"Ronnie, can I tell you something?" I asked.

"You can tell me anything,Faith." He said.

I took a deep breath and pulled out the script,"I knew deep down, how everything was going to work out. Ronnie, I lead you into battle today thinking you were going to perish. Knowing you were to face death. Knowing my mate would die as well. I chose you to save knowing I had the choice to make."

Ronnie stared at me intensely. He took the paper from my hand and read it. "Faith this script is true." He continued to read it. His eyes widened and he looked at me. "If this is true then Faith, you're pregnant."

My eyes widened in recognition. "The hand over the womb thing yeah I remember." I stood up and walked into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror.

Ronnie stood in the doorway. I examined my face noticing my glowing features. I pulled up my shirt and turned to the side. I noticed a slight extend lower in my stomach. I placed my hand on the small bump and it felt tough. It felt strong. Suddenly I felt a little movement.

Ronnie watched me intensely in the mirror. I looked up and stared into his reflected, intensely blue eyes. I nodded. He frowned and turned so his forehead was placed on the door frame.

"Ronnie what's wrong? Don't you want to have a baby with me?" I asked feeling sad that he doesn't want it.

"Faith is it mine?" He asked kind of harshly.

I looked down. Oh, of course he would question that. Hope whined because of the loss of Ryder. I looked up at Ronnie and grabbed his hand quickly placing it over the small bump.

I closed my eyes and visioned it. I showed him the day the baby was conceived. I made him feel the emotion, the fear and the love I felt that day. It was the time I found out Ronnie was supposed to die and immediately went to get him. I wanted every part of him because I was scared if I didn't have him then he would disappear.

I showed him that this baby is his. I'm showing him that this baby is a miracle to us being conceived by a second chance mate bond when wolves are only meant to be conceived through a full mate bond. This little miracle is something completely special and he created it.

I dropped the vision,"I love you Ronnie, I always have. I wouldn't let Ryder touch me because I love you. I never wanted him. Maybe before I found him, but not after I found you. You're my true mate."

He smiled at me and pulled me into his embrace and kissed me passionately. He pulled away and grabbed my hands, "Faith, I love you so much and this baby will be the best gift the moon goddess will ever bestow upon us."

I smiled, "I think us being mates best gift ever. A baby is just a dream come true."

He pecked my lips once more before we headed to bed. "Goodnight Faith."

"Goodnight Ronnie." I said falling into a deep sleep.
