Chapter 58 - The Hybrid Queen
Chapter 58
Today I am getting my scan where we will hopefully find out the sexes of the pups I am just over the 14 weeks and I seem to be progressing similar to what mama Ruby did just slightly slower than a normal lycan pregnancy.
We got the results of Callum and Vlad’s pups, they are lucky to be having a boy and girl, we won’t know which one is which until they arrive as technically only Callum’s blood can rule after him, but as far as everyone is concerned both pups are both of theirs. I am so excited to meet them.
Funnily enough, we are actually due at around the same time the way the pregnancy is going. Because a vampire pregnancy is so much longer, it has lengthened the pregnancy so much that I will have caught up to them by the end of it.
Brandon has come with us to each of the scans. He loves to see how much bigger the pups grow and how much more like people they look at each time. He is a little ball of energy this morning. He has been praying to the moon goddess all week to give him one of each like Uncle Callum and Vlad. He is so excited to find out, and he says he even has a name for one if he gets his wish.
I am almost nervous for him when we get to the room and I get onto the bed. My bump is now really visible, with having two in there. I feel huge already, and my boobs are huge. Killian has been really excited about that part, they were big enough as it was, he loves playing with them any chance he gets, saying that he will have to share them soon so he has to make the most of it when he can.
I am not sure who is more excited right now, Killian is bouncing in his seat almost as much as Brandon. Did they both eat a bloody bag of sugar this morning. It is not even 10 am. No one should be this chirpy at this time as far as I am concerned.
Yes, I am no longer a morning person. Since I got past 8 weeks, I practically have to be dragged out of my bed in the morning. I swear I could stay in there until lunchtime some days. These pups are zapping my energy from me, something rotten.
At least I have not had any sickness or weird craving, I mean Tasha is walking about dipping bloody pickles in ice cream and growls at anyone who goes near it, and Krista loves her crisps and jam sandwiches, it is just gross. I just have a bit of a sweet tooth. They can keep their weird concoctions to themselves.
Doctor Sam is her usual chirpy cheery self as she puts the gel on my stomach, and the comforting sounds of the heartbeats fill the room. We have already been through the usual 20 questions on how I am, and do we want to know what we are having. As if we could wait and see, I think Brandon would burst with curiosity if we made him wait any longer.
“Right heartbeats still strong and steady, and the measurements are right on target for what we were expecting. Now let me see what we have, baby A is a boy, you young man are having a little brother and baby B, is a girl, so that means you get a sister too. Congratulations, I heard you have been praying hard the moon goddess knows how good and special you are to grant your wish, young prince” Dr Sam says, smiling at Brandon.
“Mummy I am getting a brother and a sister. Did you hear that daddy” he says excitedly, hugging me then his dad.
“Sure did, you got your wish, buddy. It was what I was wishing for too” his dad says, hugging him.
Killian quickly wipes my stomach and helps to sort my clothes before helping me to sit up.
“So sweetheart, you said you had a name for us. What name was is, which one do you want to name your little brother or sister” I ask him.
“Really you will let me” he says excitedly.
“Well as long as it is not something really silly like I don’t know princess” Killian says as Brandon laughs.
“I wouldn’t call my sister that” he says as if his dad is stupid, making me laugh.
“Yes daddy don’t be silly” I say, rolling my eyes, making Brandon laugh more.
“OK then what’s this name then” Killian asks, ignoring my teasing.
“Well you know how mummy’s lycan is called Calla, I want to name my sister after her. But I want to call her Lilly like the pretty flowers we buy for mummy and Calla” he says sweetly.
“You know what, my angel, I love that name, and Calla loves that name as well and loves you so so much” I tell him.
“I think it is perfect, and now we just need a name for your brother” Killian says.
“How about Chris, my dad is Christian, and yours is Christopher, so it is just like a shorter version of both of them. Also, much less of a mouthful” I suggest.
“That would work. I like it. It is more modern than their names, I think we should add Casius as the middle name” Killian says, agreeing.
“So Lilly Stone and Chris Casius Stone, would you like to be the one to tell everyone sweetheart” I ask Brandon.
“Yes please mummy do we have enough pictures for everyone” he asks me.
“We have a picture, for each set of grandparents, and 1 for each uncle I say to him, the aunties will share with the uncles oh and of course uncles Callum and Vlad will share 1 too.” I say, handing over 10 envelopes to him to hand out to them.
We are meeting them for coffee and cake as soon as the appointment was over. All my family travelled this weekend to hear the results of the scan. They all wanted to get the news at the same time. None of them wanted to hear about it after the rest had been told.
I mean, I would have set up a conference call or something so no one missed out, but they argued it just wasn’t the same, not hearing it in person. To be fair, I did go down, so I was there to hear Callum and Vlad’s news at the same time as everyone else, so I can not exactly criticise anyone.
The coffee and cake was ready and everyone was waiting as we arrived, like the perfect angel that he is, Brandon went around and handed the scan pictures to everyone making sure each couple and single person got one. He then came back, and his dad picked him up to make his announcement.
“Baby A, is my little brother, my mummy and daddy have decided to name him Chris after my 2 grandads and Casius after my other grandad his name is Chris Casius Stone. Baby B mummy and daddy let me name, and I called her Lilly after mummy’s lycan Calla, because she will be as pretty as the Calla lillies that they like” Brandon says clearly and proudly.
Gianna burst into tears and kept going on about getting a granddaughter and how much pink she could buy. I will have to put a limit on it, and tell her there are more girl colours than pink. The nursery will definitely not be a pink wonderland. Greens and lilacs go quite well together, that would be much better for a boy and a girls' room.
I don’t want to burst her bubble just yet with 3 grandsons now I know how excited she is that one of the pups are a granddaughter and at least it means that Krista and I will get a break from the pup hints when I have Lilly.
Dad and muma Belle are excited they are getting one of each from both Callum and I so they are more than happy and mum, papa G, mama Ruby and daddy Cas are all excited there is a girl in the mix. Natalia is also pregnant from her heat but she is only 5 weeks gone so no idea what she’s having yet, it would be nice if it was a girl, everyone else around here are having boys.
That includes Cara who is 16 weeks gone with the future Alpha of her pack, Julie has just given birth 6 months ago and she is already 4 weeks pregnant with number 2, her and her mate must be at it more than Killian and I. I think they are going for their own football team by the way she talks.
Jamison’s mate finally let him mate and mark her. They had their Alpha and Luna ceremony 2 weeks ago. It is not one Killian would usually be invited to as it is not in his territory, but with it being my old pack we got an invite along with mum as she was one of Luna Darla’s best friends.
It was a nice occasion, Tasha, Cara, and Julie were all there with their mates and families due to their ties to the pack. Jamison has actually grown up and changed a lot. It is nice to see him finally acting like the Alpha he should be.
Julie’s parents have moved to her pack now, with Julie being an only child. There was nothing keeping them there. They wanted to be close to their daughter and grandchildren. The Alpha was happy to accept them. They are still strong warriors, and they offer valuable support to his Beta couple.
