Fierce (Wattys2014)

Chapter 3

Two weeks later and Tasha was thirty five weeks pregnant. It was the day of the annual pack party and was the hottest day of the year. She didn't know how she would survive the party until six that afternoon, but she had to try. Since Drake was future Alpha and she was the future Luna, it was something they were both required attend.

Sitting on the couch, she watched the twins kick at her stomach. They kicked so much her stomach moved with each kick. She thought she looked hideous in a bikini and had begged Drake to let her wear a shirt and shorts in the pool. But he'd told her she looked beautiful, so she wore her neon pink and black zebra print bikini.

Grabbing her sunglasses off the table beside the door, she slid them onto her head before grabbing her phone. Drake waited out in the car.

"Do we have to go? What if I go into labor or something? It's too damn hot and I'm irritable and tired," she whined.

"Yes we have to go, you know that. You're allowed to be irritable and tired, you are pregnant," he squeezed her hand as he drove to his parents'.

Drake pulled up in front of Rose and Justin's and there were cars everywhere. But, being pregnant and future pack leaders had it's perks. There was a spot for Drake to park right in the front. She got out of the car and walked into the house.

"Tasha, you look beautiful today," Kat smiled, opening the door. Elizabeth smiled up at Tasha from Kat's arms.

"Thank you, Kat. I'm irritable and tired today, and it's too damn hot," Tasha sighed, fanning her face with her hands.

"Well, let's go get in the pool," Kat said as Emily came into the room with a handful of towels.

"You're not going swimming are you?" Drake asked as Tasha laid her towel on a lounge chair in the shade.

"I thought about it, why?" She asked.

"Well, what if something happens?" He asked, his voice full of concern.

"Drake, what will happen with all these people around? I'll be fine. We're bringing Elizabeth in the pool. Stop worrying," she smiled.

"All right, I just worry about you. I'll be watching you though." He kissed her lips before she sat on the edge of the pool and dipped her feet into refreshing water.

She knew he would dive in if something happened to her. Sliding into the pool helped soothe her aching back. Her body relaxed from the cool water. Tasha let out a long sigh of relief and closed her eyes. Letting out a sigh of relief, she closed her eyes.

Emily swam over to Tasha and laid her hand on Tasha's belly. The twins went crazy the second Tasha had gotten in the water. She smiled at Drake, and he stepped to the edge of the pool. Emily smiled and splashed her brother playfully.

"What's wrong?" He asked. He looked at Emily, "Don't splash me Em."

"Nothing. Bend down and let me see your hand," Tasha reached for Drake's hand and placed it on her stomach.

"I've never felt them this active," his eyes widened and a smiled formed on his lips.

"I know, they love the water as much as I do," Tasha smiled.

Tasha swam up behind Elizabeth and tickled her feet before Kat turned her around to see Tasha. Elizabeth floated in her baby boat with her feet hanging out the bottom. She also had floats on each arm. Elizabeth smiled when she saw Tasha and kicked her feet, her arms splashing in the water. Tasha smiled at how much fun Elizabeth was having. Tasha swam around, pushing Elizabeth in front of her before Kat took Elizabeth out of the pool.
