Chapter 36

" Francis..?" I said, with a hint of uncertainty to my voice. Her face kept giving me different reactions. Lying here, being subjected to my tummy being squeezed, not like it hurt or anything, it just felt weird. I got antsy more and more the more she left me hanging with my unanswered, unspoken question.

She looked up at me, beaming so much I could almost see the gaps in her teeth that I guessed came with age. "Luna" she says, "you are blessed, in your stomach you have child." I was confused now, what did she mean? Don't we already know that I am with child? That's the same reason I found myself on her door step because I thought something was wrong with my child. Wasn't that it?

She gets up and heads deep into her house. I didn't know where she was going and she left me in alter suspense. She appeared again with a basket in her hands. She sits beside me and I could finally see the contents of the basket. They were a bunch of herbs. Francis has a full blown smile now plastered on her face.

"Luna, you come with great gifts, you, you bear two heads in your womb." If I wasn't already confused I was now. But she wasn't late in her elaboration, she says, "you my child will be bearing two children." that's when I heard it. I was having twins. If you were a normal Werewolf even having a whole litter meant nothing. But, if you were a Luna then it was fussed upon. Their beliefs tied to this notion and I didn't know it very well. You see, growing up with my mother didn't teach me all the traditional native stuff I needed to know as a Luna. My mother was too concerned about good grades.

What she continues to tell me shocks me even more. " But I am afraid that one of them has gotten their fathers temper and keeps turning in your stomach causing that pain you were feeling. The boy is restless." " What do you mean the boy?, there's a girl too?" I couldn't help but ask. "Indeed" Francis gave back.

This was all too crazy for me, I mean how did she know that. "How do you know that for sure?" I blurted. Getting up to get something from one of her old cabinets, she points to her temple " sixth sense". I knew that the knowledge brought down in the line of midwives is uncanny. To what extent? Nobody really knew. And I wasn't going to be the one to question them. Much as the news shocked me, it really made me happy and excited that for our first Aiden and I get to have both. A boy and a girl.

She came back and knelt in front of me. She picks up a couple of small jars with lids on top. She holds them up and says "Do not worry, it's just tea." I release the air I wasn't aware I was holding. She continues, "it helps with restless pups, especially the male kind. Those ones are full of energy."

" Drink this whenever you feel like drinking tea, it should help with that restless pup." I give my thanks as I quickly pack the small jars into my purse. Thinking about how my visit went with the midwife, I made my way outside.

I wasn't expecting there to be a car out. It sort of made me jump when I saw it. Then the driver's door opens revealing a Patrick as he jumped down to the ground. He opens the backseat door for me and gestures that I get in. he closes the door after me and jumps back in the car and pulls away.

I wasn't expecting that anyone was going to come for me, especially not the beta stride. There was an awkward silence that seemed to engulf the space in the car. I was not going to be the one to disturb it. The drive to home was short.

I got home to an empty house. All the walking around made me tired, maybe I should probably lie down for a bit. The bedroom didn't sound welcoming so I head to the kitchen to put away the tea. After that I make my way to one of my drawers to get a fleece. As I was passing by the book shelf, I took a book, might as well read myself to sleep.

A bit after four, I got up and started to make dinner, over the weeks I have stayed here Aiden seemed to eat everything I made. But I really wanted to know what he likes, and I couldn't ask him. Tonight I wanted dinner to be flawless. It was a special night after all. Tonight my husband gets to know that the Luna will be having double the pup he thought he was having.

That's when I remembered about the tea. I better have that and see what happens. Just on que Aiden shuts the front door and follows where he knows he is going to find me. He walks around the island sitting in the middle of the of the kitchen, the house was quite modern you see. He hugs me from behind letting out a little moan of appreciation, "Good day my wife" he says as he kisses my temple.

I turn in his arms to face him. Giving him a peck on the lips I say, "How was your day?" "Hectic" he says monotonously. I can imagine what that could be, with me not with him when he goes out, how does he control himself? … I could only wonder. " Good thing you are home then" I smile

He gave me a throaty laugh. I have never seen this werewolf laugh, except that one time. He was beautiful. " Wife, stare at me like I'm the delicious food I can smell. Be careful, I might just end up eating you instead." He goes on, " I might start with those big green eyes of yours and finish with your toes." Hearing this made me squirm. He even had an amused look on his face, he knew what he was doing to me! And did it on purpose… he was teasing me!

So he wanted to play games huh… well I could play, trying to hide my own cheeky smile, but not his game. "Dinner" I suddenly announce, getting away from him. His shoulder drop and he heaves out a huge sigh. "oky doky wifey" " but at least tell me why you had to visit that woman again."
