The King Is My Mate

19

2 months later

I woke from the same dream I have been having for 2 months now. Blake lay silently next to me, deep in sleep. The sweat on my forehead runs down my face. I slip out of bed and go to the bathroom. A wave of nausea washes over me and I rush to the toilet, emptying the contents of my stomach.

Four weeks ago, I found out I was pregnant. I have tried to tell Blake, but he has always been busy. He is usually gone when I wake up and doesn't come to bed until after I am asleep.

I slide back into bed after I clean myself up. Blake's arm wraps around me and pulls me into his chest. His hand rests on top of the now noticeable bump that has formed. I am wearing an extra large shirt of Blake's. I've gone up a few clothe sizes, but not enough for Blake to notice anything yet. Tomorrow I have an appointment at the doctors for my first ultrasound. Blake thinks that it is just a regular check up.

I look at the time and see that it's five in the morning. I came up with an idea to see if Blake really cared. I slip out of Blake's hold and slip two baby dolls under his arm. One is wearing a blue onesie that says 'Is it a boy?' and the other wears a pink one that says 'Or is it a girl?'

I lay a note next to his head.

"Will you come? At the hospital at 1. I hope you come. I've tried to tell you, but I haven't seen much of you."

I head downstairs before the tears start to fall. Bella is in the kitchen already and offers me a small smile. "I'm sorry he hasn't been around a lot, Sonya. His dad was the same way. Do you want to hang out later?"

I shake my head. "My ultrasound is at one. I want to be there early, just in case Blake does show up. I also am going to the store. I'll pick up some groceries as well as a few supplies." She nods.

"Oh, Sonya. Remember, your pregnancy is faster than most wolves. You may be farther along than you think. Or, there is also the possibility of twins. I just don't want you freaking out when you go. And call me if Blake doesn't show. I will come." She kisses my forehead and heads out of the kitchen.

"What's this about?" Blake's voice, husky because he just woke up, causes me to jump. I turn around slowly. He holds the two dolls and my note.

"I'm pregnant..." My voice, barely a whisper.

"B-but- H-how? When? No." Blake's whispers to himself reach my ears. I growl at him threateningly. He takes a step closer and I growl louder, backing from him. "No. No no no no no." He continues his muttering, angering me further.

My growling grows louder and louder as he continues stepping closer. My back hits the wall and I growl at Blake. Blake is an arm length away and my claws elongate.

"Blake. Get away from her. Now." Blake's dad, who I have yet to meet, appears behind Blake. Bella looks between us worriedly.

Blake growls at his dad and takes another step towards me. I slash his arm as he reaches out for me. He growls at me and reaches for me again. I growl and slash deeper into his arm. He yanks his arm away and I scurry away from him, turning down a couple hallways and entering a room. I lock the door and take a deep breath, sliding down the door. Blake's resounding growls follow me.

"Blake! Stop!" His dad orders. Tears pour down my cheeks as his words replay in my head.

I rest my hands on my stomach. "He didn't want you, but I will always want you. I love you."

Blake pounds on the door, threatening to rip it off its hinges. I ignore him and continue to cry. I almost miss the small kick in my stomach. Blake appeared at my side and rocks me back and forth, ignoring my pathetic growls.
