Luna

14

November 14, 1973

Stevie was in a meeting with a woman named Andrea, she's an interior decorator and it had been brought to Stevie's attention that the Pack House had not been upgraded since the 50s and since the pack had some extra cash the project for the new year would be to remodel simply the main level. She was going to give the pack members free rein of the upper floors, except they'd have to use their own money. 

She uncrossed her legs in her desk chair and it was almost like as soon as she did she felt an intense burst of pain. Stevie outright winced and her left hand fell to her stomach.

"Are you okay, Luna?" Andrea questions.

"Oh yeah, I'm just cramping." She tells her.

"Should I go get someone?" Andrea points to the closed office door.

"No, No...i'm fine let's finish our meeting." Stevie grins. 

Stevie masks the pains as they finish out their meeting. They were coming about every five mintues and they were intensifying but certain ways she shifted would make the pain worse and she was blinking rapidly to stop tears from falling and she was trying her hardest to not scream or moan out, but she was taking and masking deep breaths.  As soon as Andrea leaves she pushes back from her desk and both of her hands go to her stomach.

"Oh, ow ow ow ow OWWWW." She cries. 

"What are you doing in there?" She asks her stomach. 

Stevie's been very distant with her stomach during this pregnancy. She doesn't talk to her stomach and she very rarely rubs her stomach unless a kick is a particularly hard one. But she can't ignore these pains. 

"Huh...oh my god." She groans as she hunches over in her chair. 

"You're coming aren't you little girl?" Stevie asks standing up in the chair. One hand going to her lower back the other hand falling to the underside of her stomach. 

Stevie paces for a good couple of hours, as it was helping the pain. Every time she tried to sit down the pain would intensify. Squatting felt the best as it was opening up her pelvis and she thinks that the baby dropped because it was like an almost instant relief when she'd squat. But without help she couldn't last that long in a deep squat only using her desk as support. She was thankful that the curtains were drawn in the office because she didn't want this to be broadcast all over the pack because normally what happens is that the pack surrounds the house of the woman that's giving birth and she thinks its a complete invasion of privacy. There's a bathroom attached to her office and once she empties her bladder, she stands up and a sharp pain and a gush of water lets her know that her water has broken and she is most definitely going to be giving birth soon. 

"Alright, we really need to go find your daddy," Stevie lets out a shaky breath as she fixes her skirt and shirt and by the grace of God when she waddles out of her office she runs right into Dr. Harris.

"Oh thank god." She cheers.

"What?" Dr. Harris asks.

"My water just broke. I'm going to find Lindsey, please meet me at my house. Get Ruth and Barbara and Christine please." Stevie begs biting her lip.

"Absolutely, last I checked Lindsey was raking the leaves in front of the packhouse." Dr. Harris places his hands on her stomach and feels around. 

Lindsey wasn't raking the leaves when she approached him, instead, he was talking to a couple of other Omegas and she walked right into his arms. She placed her hands on his hips and she pressed her head against his chest and she closed her eyes and squeezed tightly. 

"Lindsey...Lindsey, I r-really need to talk to you." She shakes out. 

"Just a second Steph...As I was..." 

"No, Lindsey...I need to talk to you." She looks up at him and as soon as he looks into her eyes he can see the pain she's in and he gulps before nodding.

"Alright. Excuse me Lee, Hank," He waves leading Stevie away.

"It' really hurts Lindsey and I just want to scream but I don't want to because I don't want anyone to know." She sniffles.

"Alright, okay. Let's go home." He nods.

She nods and as soon as they're tucked safely at home and she's changed into one of Lindsey's old work teeshirts she lets all of it out. 

"FUCK!" She screams as Lindsey just rubs at her back."I swear to god Lindsey Buckingham you are never doing this to me ever again." 

"I know, you've told me a million times." He sighs and rolls his eyes. 

It was then that the door opened and Barbara, Ruth, Christine, Dr. Harris, and three pack nurses-Georgia, Amanda, and Courtney-came into the room. 

Christine McVie is the Beta Female and she's one of Stevie's best friends. It also happens to help that before her father passed away he was the previous pack doctor. Her brother had taken over after their father and when he stopped to raise his son, they called in Dr. Harris. 

"Luna, how are you doing?" Dr. Harris asks.

She just shakes her head and cries into Lindsey's shoulder shifting uncomfortably in the bed. 

"Luna, we need to check your dilation. Afterward, I won't touch you unless I need to, or you tell me to but to see where you are I need to check you. You said that your water already broke so I'm assuming you're pretty far if not halfway there. When did you start feeling contractions?" Dr. Harris asks.

"What...time....AGH GOD.....What time...is it?" Stevie groans through a contraction.

"A little after four in the afternoon," Ruth tells her.

"Well, I started feeling pains about eleven this morning while I was in a meeting with Andrea and then my water broke like a half an hour ago," Stevie tells them.

"Alright, I'm just going to open your legs and take a look alright, are you wearing any underwear?" He asks going to lift up their comforter. 

"They were soaked I took them off." She shakes his head.

"Alright." Dr. Harris nods going to check her. 

She tenses into Lindsey and starts panting. "I know Stevie I'm sorry you can shift to give birth many women do." 

"I did it." Ruth nods at what the doctor is saying.

"No, I can't shift I need to squeeze Lindsey and I can't as a wolf." Stevie sniffles as the doctor removes his hand.

"Well, you're at five. You have five more centimeters to go before I can do anything. But since your water broke it shouldn't take that long. Stevie, I need to feel around your stomach. It's going to be uncomfortable." Dr. Harris tells her. 

She just nods and grabs Lindsey's hand, closing her eyes as her head falls into the pillow. The Doctor feels around her stomach and she winces and tears fall from her eyes. Lindsey just kisses her head.

At around one in the morning, she lets out a loud scream and they know that it's time to deliver a baby.
