The kings hybrid

Twenty-five

Harriette POV

It started getting dark and the stars got more brighter. The moon was high and full meaning a lot of wolves were out for runs. I had made spaghetti bolognese with Dustin.

Once we all sat down to eat it, Dustin winced and his hand shot to his bump.

"Baby you ok? Is it the baby?" Ryker went to his side.

"I'm ok. We're ok, just braxton hicks. Don't worry, we still have a couple more weeks until the due date." He breathed out.

Ryker nodded then sat back in his seat. I smiled at my friends and how much they love each other. Even if vampires and werewolves hate each species, they have shown that they can love each other.

Dustin lifted the fork to his lips then put it back down. "I'm sorry I can't eat this." He said frustratedly.

"It's not what the baby wants is it?" Ryker's eyes softened at his mate. Dustin shook his head, then I understood that the baby wanted blood not food.

"You can have some of mine if you want. Or there's still blood bags in the fridge." I told him.

"Can I have some of yours? I don't want to be annoying but yours is nice." He smiled nervously.

I smiled back at him and nodded. I got up and grabbed a cup and a knife.

"Woah, what are you doing?" Ryker and Damien stood up.

"Calm down." I rolled my eyes. "I'll heal since I am wolf so don't worry. I've done this before a couple times so it doesn't matter."

I sat down again and ran the knife along my palm. I pressed my fingers into the cut so it would fill up the cup. Once it was three quarters full, I stopped and gave it to dustin. He shyly sipped it while humming happily.

My hand healed quickly thanks to winter and Lexi so I started eating again. It was quiet until Dustin excused himself to the bathroom.

"How often does Dustin do that?" Ryker asked me.

"A couple times a year. At most six, usually it's only four or five. It doesn't bother me though because I can heal and I won't have to tell anyone about it." I shrugged.

"Ryker." We all heard Dustin cry out. We all ran to the bathroom in my room to see him holding on to the sink. He was sweating and a small puddle rest at his feet.

"What's going on?" Ryker spat out, worry written all over his face.

"Ryker get a lot of towels from the cupboard. Damien go boil the kettle and put the hot water in a bucket make sure to fill it. Dustin babes let me help you lay down on my bed so you can be comfortable." I ordered and rolled up my sleeves as I walked to my best friend.

"What's going on?" Dustin cried as the boys ran off to get what I told them to.

"The baby is coming. Your water broke so it won't be long until he or she is here." I told him.

Dustin nodded then laid on my bed. I took off the covers and pushed them on to the floor. I moved pillows to sit him up as the boys came back in.

"It's going to be ok. You'll be fine and we'll have our baby soon. You've got this I know you do." Ryker sat next to his mate and held his hand. Dustin cried as a contraction making him tense up.

I kneeled on the bed and pulled off Dustin's jeans and boxers to see how many centimetres dilated he was. Damien growled at me same with Ryker but I just flipped them off.

"If you don't want me doing this then deliver your own baby. But if you do guaranteed one of them will die. If you don't want that to happen suck it up because me and Dustin has seen each other naked before." I snapped at them. 

I quickly checked to see he was three centimetres dilated, seven more to go. I set up towels underneath him so all the weird stuff would go on the towels not my bed. But if it did get on my bed then it doesn't matter, all that matters is getting this baby out safely.

After a couple hours, Shelby, Derek and my dad came through the door. Derek went to Dustin's other side where he gladly took Derek's hand. My dad kept a cold flannel on Dustin's head to keep him cool.

Damien was next to me keeping me calm as well as him. Shelby got the camera like the mother figure she is to me and Dustin. Always wanting to take pictures and make memories.

"Alright Dustin, push as hard as you can." I told him. He nodded, took a deep breath then pushed. He cried out as he squeezed Derek and Ryker's hands.

"You're doing so good babes. A couple more of those and you'll be able to find out the gender of your baby. You can do this I know you can." I rubbed his leg reassuringly.

Whenever I told dustin to push, he did. After three pushes, I could see the baby's head. "He's got a lot of dark hair." I smiled at the couple.

Dustin smiled and laughed a little while leaning his head on his mate. I told him to push once more and that made the baby's shoulders come out.

"Alright babes, one more push and they're here." I told him. With that, Dustin pushed as hard as he could. After two more, out came the baby.

"Why isn't he crying?" Dustin tried to look down at me. Derek immediately pulled his face into his chest so he couldn't see.

I linked Shelby to keep Dustin calm and my dad to get a pipette thing. I rolled the baby on to his belly and started patting its back, not to hard but enough to get it crying.

When my dad came back, I placed the baby on the towels and took out all the gunk in its mouth. Soon enough, the baby started crying and relief came over all of us.

Derek moved from Dustin and I laid the baby on his chest. "Congratulations, you've got a little boy." I told him.

I placed a clean towel over the baby and rubbed his back. Tears formed in my eyes as I looked at the small boy. Ryker and Dustin were mesmerised by their son they couldn't take their eyes off him.

Shelby was taking pictures while my dad and Derek stood to the side with smiles on their faces. I smiled to but couldn't hold back tears.
