Blake's POV

"She can go home now, Alpha," Dr.  Williams says once I enter the hospital, "Just keep her in bed for a few days."

I nod and walk to my mate's room and see her sisters braiding her hair.  The three look up when they see me and Abby gives me a weak smile.

"I woke up five minutes ago and you were gone," she whispers and I sigh.

"I took care of Tashya, sweetheart.  She's gone now," I say and she smiles.

"Good," she whispers, "I hated her."

I crack a smile, "Me too."

"When can she leave?" Brie asks.

"Now," I say and my mate breaks into a beautiful smile, "But she's confined to bed for the next few days."

Her smile evaporates, "No, it's going to be so boring."

"Hey," Rina says, "While you're in bed we can help you plan the nursery."

Abby's smile returns, "And drive the boys crazy."

They laugh and I groan.  I go over and pick my mate up, making sure to wrap the blanket tightly around her.  We exit the hospital and walk outside to see the pack still assembled.  I sigh and walk up on stage with Abby still cradled in my arms.  When they see us they all grow silent.

"Your luna is fine.  But she lost one of the babies.  Tashya, Ashley, and Melody have been executed," I say and the crowd cheers their consent.

Abby takes the mic, "Thank you Golden Moon pack for standing by us in this time of need.  The funeral for my lost child will be held a week from today.  I wish to see you all there."

"When did you decide this?" I link.

"Just now," she links back.

I nod and the crowd claps as we walk offstage.  Her sisters and my brothers walk back to the house with us.  I lay Abby on the bed and help her change into her pajamas.  She nods her thanks and I climb in beside her after removing my shirt and pants.  I pull her to me and I feel her tears on my chest.

"Shhhhh," I say, "It'll all be okay."

"I just wish that baby would still be inside me with their brother or sister where they belong," she sobs.

"I know sweetie," I say rubbing her back, "But that baby is in a better place and you have the other baby to think about."

She nods, "You're right."

I smile, "Now get some sleep angel."

She giggles, "I will, angel."

Abby's POV

The next morning I wake up feeling slightly better from the night before.  Losing this baby is making me sad but Collie and Blake made me realize that I still have the living one to think about.  I sigh and try to get up but a hand pulls me back down.  I turn over and see Blake looking at me.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asks.

"Um bathroom," I say in a duh tone.

"You're not supposed to leave the bed," he says and I blow out an impatient breath.

"How am I supposed to use the bathroom?" I ask and he smirks.

"I'll help you," he says and I sigh.

"Fine," I groan and he scoops me into his arms.

He takes me to the bathroom and sets me on the counter.  I pull off my clothes and his eyes darken.  I smirk and motion for the toilet so he plops me on it.  I do my business and wipe while Blake starts the big bathtub.  When I mean big I mean big.  It's the size of a mini jacuzzi.  He pours in some bubbles before carrying me to the bath.  I sigh as the hot water makes contact with my skin and my muscles relax.

"You good?" he asks with a concerned look.

"Yeah," I say, "Go shower."

He walks across the bathroom to the big shower and strips before stepping inside.  The rhythmic sound of the shower helps relax me.  I squirt my vanilla scented body wash on the sponge and wash myself.  After that's done I wash with some shampoo and conditioner.  When I'm done Blake comes over wearing nothing but a towel.  He lifts me up and wraps me in my fluffy towel.  He sets me on the bed and I sigh.

"I can walk you know," I say in a duh tone.

"I know," he says cheerfully, "But I like annoying you.  Plus you're not supposed to be out of bed."

I mutter curses under my breath and he tosses me a pair of leggings and his shirt.  I slip them on and I'm about to request my hairbrush when the door opens.  Brie, Lexi, and Rina run in with bags in their hands.  Blake chuckles and I turn to see him with an amused expression.

"Don't kill her guys," he says walking out of the room in a blue shirt and basketball shorts.

"What's on the agenda?" I ask after the girls move me to one of the guest bedrooms.

"Pranks!" Lexi squeals in a whisper.

I smile and my sisters smile back.  My father used to love pranks and I guess I picked it up from him.  My sisters love it too but not as much as I do.

"Let's get started," I chirp and they smile.

Fifteen minutes later our first prank is complete.  We send Rina downstairs and wait for her return.
