Moonlit Futures

Chris POV

2 Months Later.

Sitting at my desk I read through the latest pack information. Looking over the proposals for mates to join my pack or for members to leave had me smiling. Looking at the picture of Lexi and I on my desk, taken a few weeks ago on our date to the amusement park had me smiling.  Hearing the door open I looked up to see her standing in the doorway with a nervous smile on her face.

"Am I interrupting?" 

"Nothing important." I told her. Pushing my chair out as she walked closer so she could cuddle into my lap I held close and nuzzled her hair.

"Must you always smell me?" She asked with a laugh. Nuzzling her more I made her laugh even harder.

"You smell good." I told her holding her tightly. "So what's up? You usually don't just burst in."

"I can't just come see how you are doing?"

"You can but you usually don't." I told her cheekily.

"I'll just go then." She told me struggling to get up. Holding her to me I just laughed at her struggles.

"Lexi! I was kidding." I told her in a fake exasperated tone. Seeing her bite her lip had me looking at her again.

"You sure you're ok?"

"I'm pregnant Chris." She whispered out.

"What?" I asked. The world around us stopped. I was finding it hard to breath and I had to shake my head to hear what she was now saying to me.

"... Carmen bought that stupid test and told me to take it. I didn't expect it to come back positive!" She was close to tears now. Hugging her to me I tried to think about how to talk about this.

"Will you say something?" She asked waspishly.

"I don't know what to say I told her honestly." Watching her struggle to get up and leave I held her in place. "Lexi, listen to me! I'm happy! I'm so happy! We will have little pups soon and I couldn't be happier but you don't seem happy. I don't want to upset you." I told her gently placing a kiss on her forehead as she stopped struggling.

"I am happy. I didn't think you would be since it's so soon." She told me wetly as the tears started rolling down her cheeks.

"So you are happy?" I asked tentatively.

"Yes!" She said with a laugh. "A little scared but happy." Looking at her tear soaked face, I kissed her on the lips before picking her up and taking her to our room. Closing the door, I just smiled down at her and carrried her to the bed.
