Promises

Chapter Twenty-One

Travis's P.O.V.:

"Baby you have to wake up..." I pleaded.

It's been almost a week and Megan still hasn't woken up. Doctor Simon said she was in a coma from the excessive bleeding she experienced while giving birth...

Ricky promised me to handle the merging plans as I focused on watching over Megan... So far the hunters have suddenly stopped their plans... There's no sign of them or their traps...

Well that's one problem of the list. 3 of my sons are in the same room as Megan's ward. They were all sleeping soundly as I just fed them with the help of my mum.

Yes, my mum has decided to accept Megan after she softened up when she laid eyes on her grandchildren...

As for my 4th child, it's my daughter... She's still in the incubator... Doctor Simon said her internal organs were much better compared to when she was first born but it hasn't improved yet, just remained constant...

I ran my fingers through my hair and I suddenly sobbed... I haven't cried ever since Megan fainted outside the hospital... I've been holding my tears back...

I can't lose her... I can't lose my daughter... I know I told the doctor to save my mate first but after laying eyes on my children, I can't bear the thought of losing any of them...

I clutched Megan's hand and started talking to her again...

"You know when we first started out, you always ask me whether this is forever or going down in flames? You also said we were young and reckless..." I chuckled to myself as I wiped away my tears.

"Whenever I avoid the topic of marriage, you always warned me that we'll take this relationship way too far and there'll come a time when there's no turning back... It might either leave us breathless or with a nasty scar..." I cleared my throat as I choked on my sob and placed my head on Megan's arm...

"But you always tell me even if there comes to a point of no return, I'll reach a blank space in your heart..." I continued. "And that you'll..."

"Write your name on it..." Megan's voice whispered softly...

My head snapped up in record time to see Megan looking down at me, smiling.

She still looks as beautiful as ever even though she's tired...

"You have no idea how scared I was of losing you!" I breathed out a sigh of relief as I hugged her close to me.

She cleared her throat and I quickly let go of her to pour a glass of water.

After drinking it, she cleared her throat again and I took the glass to put it aside as I went back to rain kisses all over her face.

She giggled and tried to push me away.

"Stop it Travis!" she warned playfully as I then rested my face in the crook of her neck but growled a bit when I breathed in Ricky's scent since his mark is still on my mate.

"Travis..." Megan said worriedly.

I sighed as I pulled away to look at my mate's face.

"The moment you're discharged here, you're mine again." I growled and she laughed as she placed a kiss on my cheek.

I then kissed her forehead as I told Megan it would be good if we call Doctor Simon to do a thorough check-up on her.

Megan's P.O.V. :

"Where is my 4th child?" I asked in a panic voice as the nurse passed me my 3rd child.

Travis was carrying my 1st child and his mum was carrying my 2nd child.

Travis's mum looked uncertainly at Travis and I start to grow worried.

"Honey... Where's our 4th baby?" I asked, giving him an extremely worried expression.

"Err... Erm..." he stuttered as he cradled our 1st child then his mum interrupted him.

"Your 4th child, is a girl. She's alright. She went through a bit of complication as she was the last baby to come out." Emma, Travis's mum said.

My eyes widened in shock.

"Complications? What complications?! Travis, you never told me!" I whisper-shouted so as not to wake my 3 babies up.

"Honey, look you just woke up. I didn't know how to tell you. I didn't want you to stress yourself out. Besides, don't worry, our daughter is fine..." Travis answered me as he bent down to give me a peck on my lips.

I grumbled in annoyance as I tried to get off the bed, still carrying my 3rd child.

"Megan!" Emma exclaimed. "Where are you going?! You need to lie down and rest!"

I shook my head as Travis tried to make me lie down again.

"I need to see my daughter!" I snapped at him and he sighed as he placed both babies that we were carrying into their cots.

"Come on, I'll go with you..." Travis said as he held out his hand to me...

*~*

When Megan saw her daughter, she almost lost it then and there.

"She looks so weak and fragile..." Megan thought to herself.

The nurse cleaned her daughter up before passing the baby to the mother.

"As of now she can be taken off the life support but she's still a bit fragile." the nurse said as she smiled and left the parents alone.

"Hey princess..." Travis whispered as he kissed their daughter's head and held her hand.

"Hey sweetheart, you need to be strong baby girl... Mummy and daddy loves you so much... Your brothers and grandparents also want to see you..." Megan sobbed softly as their daughter slowly raised her fist and wrapped it around Travis's pinky finger.

"You know..." Travis said as he rubbed his fingers up and down his daughter's fist. "Her brothers and I will beat off every guy who wants to date her."

Megan stopped crying but gave Travis a horrified look.

"Travis!" she exclaimed. "The poor boys are someone else's son too you know!"

Travis shrugged his shoulders as he hugged his wife and daughter.

"I'm sorry but I can't help it that I'm a werewolf and our protectiveness towards something we hold dear to us will be multiplied." he chuckled as Megan rolled her eyes and began humming a lullaby to their daughter...
