Chapter 8- Backstory

Ashton's POV

"After the party, so I'm about 5 days along."Sarah said, "I don't know if it's a girl or a boy yet, I haven't gone to the doctor yet."

Is it possible it could kill her though?

She did say she was a siren.

Will I be able to save her?

All these questions raced through my mind.

After a few minutes I asked one "Is it possible it could kill you? I mean with you being a siren and all."

"Ash, oh my god! I didn't think about that." She replied tearfully. She looked over to Payton, "Our mother died giving birth to us. She was a siren too.

Our dad was a strange case; he was a male siren, extraordinarily rare. When we were 14, our dad left us. The SPS or Siren Protective Services was called and we were taken away from our home.

We had to go before the council for assignments and I was sent to Monica, but Payton she didn't get just any old assignment. She got Zayn. She was nervous about meeting him, so I told the council that I would protect her as well as Monica.

They seemed ok with that. Then they'd asked me if I'd be willing to take on one more charge. I happily agreed. They told me of a werewolf pup and told me, he was on his own in the wild. When they said his name, there was a feeling in my gut, I couldn't explain.

I am a 'cougar' to my mate by about 2 years yes, I know he doesn't remember, but I do," Sarah explained then looked up at me, "Ash my last charge was you."

"That's your stories?" Niall asked shoving a piece of fruitcake into his mouth.

"How'd you get that? It was supposed to be for her." I asked him and pointed down to Sarah.

"Um..." he said looking down at the floor embarrassed.

"Ok, so Siren births are faster than that of a human, we don't go nine months. We go 4 ½ months. So I'm going into the doctor tomorrow to see if it's a boy or a girl." She said.

"I'll drive you there." Zayn and I both piped up.

"How about Zayn comes with Payton since she is my sister, she deserves to know, and Ash drives. Mother's instinct says is a rare case, and it's a boy."

Sarah's POV

-The next day at the hospital-

"Do you want to know or do you want to be surprised?" Dr. Edwards asked me. I looked to my mate, and then to my sister, "We want to know." I told her.

"Well, first, what is your motherly instinct telling you it is?" She asked.

"A boy." I simply stated.

"Your motherly instincts are right. It is a baby boy." She said, "Have you thought about names?"

"No, should we?" Ash asked and looked at my belly which was now the size of a watermelon.

"We should." I replied for Dr. Edwards.
