(EDITING) Under A Lonely Moon

Part Nineteen

Nova's P.O.V

Three days have passed since I found Zak. The longest three days of my life. My poor little mate

Was in a coma. Doc said it was his body's way of dealing with the shock and trauma. I'd called

Micky and he'd come over and was now staying at the pack house to help Doc. It eased me a little

Knowing Micky was taking care of my mate rather than Doc. I didn't know why but I got the

Feeling Doc didn't like Zak much.

Micky was a little taken back when he saw Zak's plump belly but it soon changed when his eyes

Softened as he congratulated me. He had gotten to work on a million different tests, that Doc had

Neglected to do, to check on my baby's health. Thankfully Micky had said that it was still alive and

Kicking, just a little under nourished, but it could be sorted easy enough. These tests were to

Determine whether the trauma of the experience had left any permanent damage to the unborn

Child. Unfortunately I'd have to wait a little for the results.

'He's a fighter, Nova. They both are. Micky patted my shoulder reassuringly as I sat watch over my

Little mate and unborn child.

'It should never have happened. He shouldn't be fighting for his life in the first place!' I growled. I

Hadn't spoken to my father or Nathan since we'd come back. They'd tried to speak to me but I was

Having none of it. I didn't want to hear what they had to say yet. I would eventually talk to them

Again, but at the moment I feel so pissed with them that talking would only result in arguing, so I

Was taking my time to calm down before talking.

Micky squeezed my shoulder, 'I know buddy. I'm so sorry this has happened to him again. My

Heart sank when you told me on the phone. The two of you deserve a lifetime of peace after what

You've had to deal with over the past couple months.' Micky's voice was full of emotion. Anger and

Sorrow towards what had happened and also determination for our future.

I watched as he fiddled with he machines that surrounded my beautiful mate. His face was ghost

White. His body under all the bandaging was thin and weak. I rubbed his swollen belly gently,

'Whens he going to wake up?' I croaked, holding back the tears.

Micky looked at me with a pained expression. 'I don't know Nova. It depends on him and when

He's ready to wake up.'

I sniffed loud, wiping a few stray tears from my cheeks in annoyance. 'I need him to wake up. I

Need to see his little emerald eyes look up at me. I want to see that cute smile on his lips when he

Looks at me.' That was it. I broke. Although Zak was here next to me, I felt so alone. 'I miss him.'

'I know, I know. Let it out Nova. Don't worry about anything, just cry. You'll feel better for it.'

Micky came over and pulled me into his chest, hugging me tight while I sobbed. Each sob shook

My body, which was still healing, causing a new pinch of pain to surface.

'Nova?' I heard my mothers weary voice. She hadn't slept much since Zak had been found, like me,

She was beside herself with worry. I could hear her coming closer. A hand suddenly materialised

On my back as she rubbed soothing circles between my shoulder blades. 'Its okay honey. He'll be

Up mad about in no time.' She cooed. I wanted to believe her words, but it was so hard to seeing

How he was at the moment.

>>>> Time Skip <<<<

It's been two weeks and nothings changed. Micky was right, crying did help to make me feel a little

Better and I had since spoken to my father and Nathan. We'd managed to patch things up and I

Understood there reason for not making a move towards Derek at the time.

'Come on baby. Open those cute little eyes for me. Please.' I whispered in Zak's ear as I lay my chin

On the pillow beside his head, one hand playing with his hair while the other held his cold hand.

'Squeeze my hand. Anything. Please, just come back to me. I love you.'

I heard a sigh and didn't have to turn around to know that it was Micky. 'Nova dinners ready. Go

Get something to eat. Now.' He ordered.

I shook my head, 'no, I'm not hungry. I'm not leaving his side.' I said plainly. I wasn't even that

Hungry either.

'You've not eaten for two days already. What good is starving yourself going to do?' He half

Yelled and pulled me to my feet roughly.

I growled, ready to snap back.

'G-Go e-ea-t.' A tiny voice, barely audible, whispered.

My heart skipped beats and I felt a rush of joy fill me. That was the voice I'd been so desperately

Longing to hear. My beautiful little mate.

I whipped round and my lips pulled themselves into a huge grin as I saw two beautiful emerald

Eyes staring back at me.
