Promises

Chapter Thirteen

Megan's P.O.V. :

            "How about this carousel crib?" I asked as I pulled Ricky towards the beautiful pink cot.

            "Honey, don't you think it's a bit too fancy?" Ricky asked in a doubtful tone and I pouted at him.

            Immediately he smiled and kissed my lips.

            "Alright, anything for my beautiful wife."

            I smiled triumphantly at him then rushed over to the clothes section to pick out socks, mittens and rompers for our babies.

            "I'm confused..." I began and Ricky hugged my waist from behind as he kissed my neck.

            "What are you confused about baby?" he asked as he massaged my womb.

            I frowned as I picked up a pair of mittens in front of me.

            "We don't know the gender of our babies. How are we supposed to know whether to buy pink or blue? I mean, what if all of our babies are boys and I bought some of their clothes in pink?" I asked.

            Ricky chuckled as he answered me.

            "Honey, pink or blue it doesn't really matter actually. It's just a silly belief that pink are for girls and blue are for boys when really in fact, it's not an issue. But if you're so worried, then pick a neutral colour like yellow or white?" he suggested.

            "But what if white gets easily dirty?" I protested, earning an amusing chuckle from Ricky.

            "Then pick other neutral colours then baby."

            I then focused myself onto choosing the outfits for our babies.....

Ricky's P.O.V. :

            I am so blessed to have her...

            I was observing my wife intently as she flitted like a butterfly around the clothes section, excitedly picking out the outfits for our babies when out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Travis with Whitney at the toy section.

            SHIT!!!

            I can't possibly let Travis meet Megan! What if Megan sees him and remembers about her past? Then she'll know I've been lying to her all this while! But that's the least of my problem! What if she suffers from a relapse and has a miscarriage or goes into a coma?!?

            I immediately mind-linked one of the staffs who was working at the shop that I was in.

            "Jack? Alpha Ricky here. I need your help."

            The youngster immediately replied me back.

            "Present. What do you require of me Alpha?"

            "I need you to attend to Alpha Travis and Whitney at the toy section in your work place. Just assist them and keep them busy. I don't want them to meet my wife. No questions." I commanded in my head.

            "Alright Alpha. Got it." was Jack's reply.

            I then cut off the mind-link and decided to get Megan to pay for the items but without making myself sound hasty.

            "You done here honey?" I asked gently and she looked up at me.

            "You wanna leave?" she asked and I gave her a sheepish grin as I rubbed the back of my neck.

            "I'm hungry. Thought wanna grab dinner now." I suggested and her face lit up.

            "oOo can we eat steak tonight??? I'm craving for lamb chop!" she gushed and I chuckled to myself.

            "Yes honey, anything you want. Let's just go pay for the stuffs you have picked out then we'll be on our way." I said as I picked up her shopping basket and scanned the carousel crib's barcode onto my iPhone so I can pay everything at the cashier.

            I prayed hard Megan wouldn't look in the toy's section and true enough, God answered my prayer as we got out of the store without any incident..

Travis's P.O.V. :

            What's with this guy?

            Jack, one of the sales man, is over friendly and keeps bugging me and Whitney.

            "Jack, I think we'll be fine on our own. We're just taking a look at toys suitable for infants." Whitney told him politely.

            "Oh the two of you are having a baby?" he asked with a smile and I gritted my teeth as I neared my face to his.

            "Look here punk, I can tell that you're a bloody werewolf and a young one at that. You carry the scent of Shadow Clan and I don't think you will like it if I report to your Alpha what an annoying piece of ass you're being right now..." I threatened him with a whisper.

            To my annoyance, he shot me a smirk and replied, "Try me."

            My pupils immediately dilated as I grabbed his collar.

            "Do not test me punk!" I growled and Whitney pulled at my biceps using here werewolf strength.

            "Travis! Let's go! It's not worth being exposed for this!" she pleaded and I let my human side regain control as I pushed Jack away roughly.

            He straightened his collar and crossed his arms as he grinned at me.

            "So you haven't answered my question." he said aloud and Whitney just smiled at him as she picked up a stuff toy.

            "We're planning to visit Alpha Ricky and his wife. But we don't want to come empty-handed that's why we're planning to buy something for their newborns cause' we heard from the other Shadow Clan wolves that your Luna is currently pregnant with Alpha Ricky's pups." Whitney replied absent-mindedly as she studied the bear that she was holding.

            I saw a cautious look crossed over Jack's face but it was quickly replaced by a cool expression.

            "Oh, okay then. In case you need help, just call my other colleagues for assistance." he said as he began walking away and I called out to him.

            "You were so eager to help us out just now, why the sudden change of attitude?" I challenged and he turned around giving me a half smirk.

            "Pack business." he said, not loudly but clearly for my werewolf ears as he then walked away...
