Chapter 316

I can hear the whispers from around the chapel.

“She’s so beautiful!”

“How stunning! Beta Travis is so lucky!”

“What a gorgeous bride!”

I can’t help but smile for my friend, despite my personal discomfort. Raya finally reaches Travis who takes her hands into his and he gazes down at her. I can see the love in his eyes, and it makes my heart so happy.

I start to tear up again.

As they say their vows to one another, I can’t help but cry. It was so beautiful and sweet. I can really feel their love for one another. I feel Dana’s hand on my shoulder, and she gives me a reassuring squeeze, indicating that it was okay for my emotions to get the best of me.

Then, just as they kiss, I felt a warm liquid oozing down my leg and splattering on the ground. For a second, I thought my bladder finally gave way and I peed myself. I heard the gasps from everyone around the chapel and the silence that followed afterward.

Raya looked at me with wide eyes, and then her eyes traveled to the floor, and she gasps loudly.

“Oh, my goddess Molly!” She gasps. “I think your water just broke?”

Molly

At first, I wanted to deny that my water had just broken in the middle of Raya’s wedding. I really thought I just peed myself. Wren has been sitting on top of my bladder the entire time and I felt the urge to pee for the longest time. But then, the pain hit me suddenly and I nearly fell to the ground.

It felt like cramps, but ten times worse. I screamed out as I held onto my stomach. There was no denying it now; I was going into labor.

“Someone, call an ambulance!” I heard Dr. Davis say as he jumped to his feet.

I felt Nancy’s hands around my arms as she pulls me towards a clearing in the chapel.

“I need some room!” She shouts to those who are surrounding us.

Everyone scatters to give her some room. Theo was quick to be by my side. He was saying something that I couldn’t quite understand. The pain was too much for me and all I could think about at that moment was needing something to keep the pain at bay. But I wasn’t in a hospital, so I was out of luck.

“I’m going to need a pillow, some blankets, and a bowl of hot water! Right now!” Nancy orders.

I had never seen her take such charge before, I was impressed by this. I knew she delivered a few babies at the hospital, so I was in good hands. I just wish this wasn’t happening in the middle of Raya’s wedding. She looks so concerned for me as she stands by Travis’s side.

Tears welled up in my eyes again; I felt so guilty.

That guilt soon turned into more pain as I had another contraction.

“Lay down,” Nancy says as she places a pillow on the ground.

I do as she says and lay on the pillow. She lifts my legs and takes off my underpants. I felt so exposed. This isn’t how I wanted the kingdom to see me. I feel so embarrassed.

“We don’t need an audience for this,” Theo barks to the wedding guest. “Wait outside and give us some space.”

They don’t hesitate to do as he orders; nobody ever kept the alpha king waiting. They all dispersed from the chapel and went outside, only a handful of us remained. Travis, Raya, Scott, Dana, Dr. Davis, and Nancy.

Dr. Davis and Nancy sat at the other end of me while Theo remained at my head. Trying to get me to calm down, but I couldn’t stop crying. I had so many emotions that were rushing out of me. I was finally going to see my daughter again, the pain that takes over my entire body, and the guilt of having this happen in the middle of my best friend’s wedding.

The timing of this was terrible.

I felt the warmth of hot water in my lower region as Nancy worked on cleaning me out. It felt nice and I was able to sigh in relief as the water soothed away some of my pain. But it wasn’t enough; more pain coursed through my body soon enough and I screamed out in agony.

“it’s going to be fine,” Nancy breathes, trying to keep her tone calm.

I can see Dr. Davis staring at her with wide eyes as she takes control of the entire situation. There’s almost a look of admiration in his gaze.

“I need each of her legs to be held. We don’t have time to wait for the ambulance,” Nancy says. She looks over at Scott and points to him. “You. Hold one of her legs like this.” She demonstrates.

He hesitates for a moment; I knew it was weird for him to be this close to my lower region; it would have been weird for me too if I wasn’t in so much pain. He lowers himself and grabs onto my leg, lifting it and bending it slightly. Dr. Davis does the same with my other leg.

Now I felt really exposed.
