Freedom

Chapter 12

"What?" he asked quietly. I couldn't tell if he was happy, sad or mad. He was hiding his emotions and his face was blank.

"I'm pregnant." I said as I was about to walk out the closet door.

Before I could, Kyle had me in an embrace, his lips on mine with one hand rubbing my stomach.

"You literally just made me the happiest man alive." He said before kissing me again.

"I thought you were mad at me." I whispered hoping the tears in my eyes wouldn't fall.

"Why would I be?" he replied before continuing "Besides our son will be as handsome as me."

"You mean daughter." I chuckled. "I'm 3 weeks in. I can already tell it's a girl."

"Wait your 3 weeks?" he asked.

"Yea why?"

"Wolf pregnancies are 2 to 2 1/2 months. Our pup or pups..." he said with a wink. "will be born around the same time as the battle."

I slowly let it sink in.

"You'll be there." I said while walking out the closet.

"I'm not gonna fight when your in labor baby."

"I know. You'll be by my side and help me deliver. Once you see our kids and we put them in a safe place we'll go and kill Darek together."

"You're not fighting."

"Yes I am." I told him as I got beneath the sheets of our bed.

"No you're not." He replied while turning off the lights and snuggling next to me.

I let a space of quietness go before I talked again.

"Yes I am." In response, Kyle sighed heavily knowing that I'll win at this game.

"Waaaaa! Waaaa!" a baby yelled.

Kyle and I both woke from a peaceful sleep.

"Is that a baby?" I asked still trying to wake up. Kyle shrugged his shoulders and we both got up from the bed.

We walked over to Haden's room. I looks in his crib to find not the little brown haired pup we rescued but a hazel skinned baby. He had curly brown hair and light hazel eyes. And he was crying his little eyes out.

I reached in the crib and took him out. He stopped crying and looked up into my eyes. He was totally a chubby baby. Most likely 1 years old.

"He shifted back." Kyle said astounded.

When a werewolf baby is born they are born in human form. We found Haden in wolf form which means he was in danger. When a were baby is in danger there wolf will shift early. Usually a wolf doesn't shift until age 13 and will find there mate at age 16.

"He's gorgeous. He'll be an excellent Beta. That is if David and Paige don't have another kid." I chuckled.

"Trust me they won't." Kyle chuckled.

"Haden, please go to sleep for mommy." I said softly.

"Mommy." Haden said back.

"Awww." Kyle whispered. I whipped my head around and looked at Kyle. "Did I just say that out loud?"

"Yea you big softie." I said. I set Haden back in his crib as his eyes were closing. I gave him a kiss on his forehead before turning to look at Kyle.

"Carry me back to bed?" I asked in the sweetest voice possible.

"Of course milady."
