Because You're Mine (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twenty-Four: Kirstie

When I wake up, there is no one in my room except for Scott. I guess they made Avi go home for a bit.

Scott's sitting there on his phone, unaware that I'm awake. After a few second as I'm about to say something he looks up.

He gets up and walks over to me. I'm greeted with his kind blue eyes. He grabs my hand and kisses if softly.

"Hey you." He says. "You gave all of us quite the scare, yesterday."

"I'm sorry." I croak out. My throat is so dry I'm surprised any sound came out.

"Oh!" Scott says. "Esther brought in some water, said you'd need it when you woke up."

I grab it and gulp it down until I can't breathe.

"Jeez. I didn't think I was so thirsty."

"Well, Kirst, that's kind of why your in here. You were very dehydrated. You know that. You're pregnant Kirst. You have to take care of yourself."

"I know Scotty. Im sorry I scared all of you. I scared myself. I didn't know what was going on. All I know is that it got really hot really fast and I felt your anger when you walked away. Avi wasn't able to calm you down."

Scott chuckled. "Yeah...i just care about you. Your like the sister I never had. Quite glad I didn't have to be completely honest. My dads a dick." He pints to the scars by his eye. "He threw a glass at me. You probably don't wanna hear it right now."

"No no I do. I wanna know more about you. I mean you know my past. I wanna know yours. But only if your okay with it."

He nods. "When you get home well talk about it. I don't know if that doctor recognized me but I saw her not to long ago. I had an 'accident' but I know she didn't believe me. So..."

"Yeah I get it. At home. For sure." I hold out a pinky for a promise. He interlocks his pinky, we kiss our thumbs and put them together. He smiles and kisses my forehead. I blush. Never has anyone done that.

"What?" Scott says.

"It's just....you're so kind and so sweet. Its been forever since I've had that. Since I joined this pack its all I've had and I think that's why im having such a hard time adjusting. Im not used to it." A tear runs down my face.

Scott scoots me over effortlessly. Seeing as He's so big and I'm literally like a pea in comparison. He lays beside me and we cuddle. He kisses my forehead again and just looks at me.

"Kirsten...what's your middle name?"

I chuckle. "Taylor."

"Kirsten Taylor Maldonado you better damn well get used to it. You are so kind to everyone, but you are also strong. You don't go through what you have and come out of it weak. You are beautiful..." I blush and hide my face in his jacket. "And smart and just magnificent. You deserve so much TLC its not even funny. I'm going to make sure everyone in the pack house shows you the love and kindness you deserve. I know I said that already but there's no other way for me to put it. We all love you Kirstie. And I'm gonna make sure you know that."

I'm a sobbing mess. Thanks Scott. I feel his hand stroke my hair while the other one is rubbing my back. He stops with my hair and his hand goes to my bump.

"Plus," he said making me look at him. "You are going to be an excellent mother."

"How do you know that?"

"I know that because I can feel it. I have this sort of...attraction to you. Its not sexual, not at all. Its more of a protectiveness. I feel it with Mitch too but yours is way stronger. I feel like I'm supposed to be with you. Just apart of your life. I've been doing some reading and there's this thing that says that you have two soul mates. A romantic one which is your mate. And a best friend type one. I think that's what you are too me. It also said that the other person feels it too. Do you feel it Kirstie?"

I nod. I wrap my arms around him as best I can with the position I'm in and hug him tightly. I knew there was something and now I know what. I nod into his shoulder as he kisses the top of my head.

"Hey..." I ask. "Where Avi and the others?"

"Avi was practically falling asleep and he was getting hungry. It's kinda scary when that man is hungry. Kevin forced him to leave and go home, eat and take a shower. Mitch volunteered to go to as he was getting way to sassy for Avi to handle. Hangry alpha plus sassy hungry omega? Not good for anyone."

"Can you sing Scott?" I ask getting sleepy.

"Uhh sure. Any song in particular?"

I shake my head not really caring. He starts singing a slow rendition of "Angel with a Shotgun" and I slowly fall asleep to the sound of his voice. He's got a smooth baritone sound. Guys who can sing are literally the best things on earth if you ask me.

I slowly fall asleep to Scott's voice. As I drift off to sleep Scott's just getting to the chorus.

I'm an angel with a shot gun, fighting 'til the war's won.
I don't care if heaven wont take me back.
I'll throw away my faith babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't ya know you're everything I have?

And with that I was asleep.
