My Childish Luna

Chapter 46 - Hope a what?!

Ellie POV

"Aren't you cute?" I cooed to Justin. He giggled, making me smile.

Ramond walked in. He smiled, seeing me and Justin.

"How are you holding up?"

"Good."

"You look tired baby, go sleep. I got him," he offered.

"No, it's fine. I mean, I gotta -"

"Babe, really! Get some sleep!" I just sighed at that.

"Ramond, I'm fine," I whined.

"I'm off for a couple of days at least rest."

"Fine," I mumbled, standing up. He took Justin off me.

As I made my way up the stairs, I bumped into someone along the way as they spilt their coffee down me.

"Oh my god, Luna Ellie, I'm so so sorry, forgive me I-"

"No, it's okay, I'm tired, and I wasn't looking where I was going. Besides, you have Alex in your arm. It's understandable. I know the struggles"

"He wouldn't sleep... and I was trying to have a coffee to stay awake."

"I'm about to check my daughter and son. Do you want me to look after after him?"

"Oh, no, no, I can't do that,"

"I insist. Go take a nap. I will look after him."

"T-Thank you, Luna," Tess bowed.

I took her son as she went down the hall. "Aren't you a handsome boy? You have definitely got your genes from your Daddy. I wonder who your Daddy is?"

"Ellie!" I turned around. Ramond had his arms crossed.

"I'm babysitting!"

"Didn't I say to rest?"

"I'm only looking after him until Tess wakes up."

"We got some information from her, she said her and her husband fled their pack that was under attack and sadly her mate didn't make it, he died protecting them"

"Aww, that's so sad."

"It is..."

We both turned around.

"Alpha," Tess bowed. "Shouldn't you be sleeping?"

"I can't... I prefer staying with my son... It makes me feel like he's still with me..."

"Aww Tess..." she broke down in tears.

Ramond took the baby off me as I walked over, pulling her into a hug.

"Everything will turn out just fine," I reassured, placing my hands on her shoulders staring at her. She slowly nodded.

"Right, I'm gonna check on my son and daughter."

"I said rest!" Ramond groaned.

"I will when I want to," I shot back. He glared at me.

Tess took her son as I headed upstairs to see Xander and Hope.

Elliot was already in there playing with Hope as Xander was sleeping.

Tess eyes lit up.

"Luna Ellie, she's so beautiful." I smiled to that.

"Hi El El."

"Hi Lie Lie," he mocked.

I narrowed my eyes and shrugged it off, grabbing my daughter.

"Who's this?" Elliot asked. He still yet hasn't met the new member.

"This is Tess  and her son Alex." she held Alex close to her, growling at Elliot.

"Oh Tess, he's okay. He's my twin brother."

"I'm sorry..." she whispered.

"My mate was killed by vampires...."

"It's okay, it's still recent in your mind,"

"Sorry, Elliot," she bowed.

"Just cause he's my brother he isn't shown affection,"

"Aww, why not? I kinda liked it." he grinned.

I playfully smacked him.

She gasped. "Don't hit him when you're holding the baby!"

We both frozed and stared at her.

"I'm sorry... I'm just very protective on my son and seeing other babies look like they're harmed kicks in. It's a mum thing. Forgive me, Luna."

"Okay... well anyways I shall be going, gonna hunt with the uncle's. Good luck," he patted my back.

Night

It was around 4 am. when I felt Ramond slip into bed.

He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer so my back was pressed to his chest. He looked over. "Babe? Why aren't you asleep? Did I wake you?"

"Can't sleep. I've been up all night trying to keep Hope asleep." I mumbled, looking at him.

He frowned. "When's the last time you've had a proper sleep?"

"2 weeks ago, maybe. I'm lucky to have a 3 hour sleep."

"Have you been eating?"

"I forget too," I honestly answer. "Ramond, she just doesn't sleep... so my father stays with her at night."

He leaned in and kissed me.

"I'm here for you. If you're having problems or something wrong, you are allowed to visit me. You do know that, right?"

"I'm just physically and emotionally drained, and I'm finding it difficult, but I'll be fine," 

"Ellie... I don't wanna overwork you, but you do have the pack to look after."

"Shut up!"

"What?

"Don't make it anymore difficult on me." I pulled his arm off me and got up.

"Ellie -"

"I'm checking on the babies,"

"Ellie, they're fine,"

"I'm checking," I growled, walking out.

When I opened the door. My father was playing with Hope. "How is she doing, Dad?" He looked up. "Sweetheart, you should be resting,"

I shook my head. "I can't." I broke down into tears. He stood up, walking over to me, pulling me into a hug. "I feel like I'm doing everything wrong,"

"No, no! Ellie, you're doing just fine. "

"Why doesn't Hope sleep?" I cried.

"You don't know?" He frowned.

"Don't know what?"

"That Hope is a hybrid"
