Chapter 89 - The Luna He Rejected
If someone had told me that giving birth would be so damn painful, I would never have let Kaid touch me. I felt like I was being ripped apart as the baby tried to pass. The contractions at first weren't so painful. I didn't even realize it at first as the pain started in the morning and I thought that something that I ate was causing my belly to hurt. But boy was I wrong. An hour passed and during that time I felt like my pain had gone from four to ten. But I tried to fight through the pain with the breathing exercises that I was taught. They help soothe the pain, but still, it hurts.
Kaid tried to help me through all the process, he massaged my back and let me hold his hand even if I was breaking his fingers with each contraction that came. The doctor didn't come right away, as he was helping another she-wolf outside the pack. When I asked Kaid if there wasn't someone else that could help me, he told me that he would explain later what happened to the other doctor. The only one that was monitoring my process was a poor medical student, and it was clear that he didn't know what to do. He just put the baby monitor on and tried to help me with the pain, but as my doctor wasn't here, he couldn't do much without his consent.
"I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH ME EVER AGAIN, KAID HILLS! I'LL CHOP YOU BALLS OFF IF YOU TRY TO GET NEAR ME!" I was yelling because I didn't know what else to do. I wanted to move, to change positions, my back hurt a lot, but because of the bloody baby monitor I couldn’t do that.
Finally, the doctor came, and when he knocked on the door I felt like my savior had arrived. He has monitored me throughout the pregnancy. And of course, he was a freaking Alpha pup, he was big, hence why I felt like I was pushing a watermelon from there.
“My Luna, how are we?” He was a sweet man, and if I wasn’t in excruciating pain I would find calmness in his voice, but right now all I wanted was for this pain to end.
“I just want this baby out of my body, it fucking hurts, AHHHH!” I yelled as I felt another contraction coming.
The student approached the doctor with something in his hands. I couldn’t hear much of what they were talking, but I clearly understood something.
“Yes doctor, she is having contractions, but according to the monitor they are not effective yet.” WHAT? The hell was he talking about? Not effective? Does that mean that they are going to be stronger? I think I’m going to pass out.
“What does that mean?” Kaid asked the doctor. I don’t think I can articulate a single word right now. Each contraction was stronger than before, and now when they ended I felt lightheaded. Like my oxygen wasn’t enough to keep me awake.
“It doesn’t mean anything, your majesty, what is important here is to see how much the queen has progressed. For that I have to see how much dilation and effacement there is.” I just wanted something to soothe the pain. Was that too much to ask?
“Okay Luna, I need to see how far you are. Now tell me when you want to push, so I can-” before he could continue, I felt another contraction coming, and there he continued with the gynecological exam he had explained to me months prior.
“Prepare everything, this baby is coming out NOW!” He started to tell everyone in the room, including the student and the nurse. “My queen, please don’t push, what you are feeling right now is the head of the baby, I’m going to take you into the OR to receive our future Alpha.” I wanted to say I freaking told you so, but right now was not the moment. Right now I just want everything to end and to hold my baby in my arms.
They quickly moved me through the halls that the bed that I was in. I tried not to push, but it seemed like my body was doing it automatically. Once we arrived at the OR, they helped me get onto the stretcher. I could feel my baby coming, but they were not ready yet.
Kaid entered the room at that exact moment, he had changed into a medical outfit, and he came right to my side to hold my hand.
The doctor prepared what he needed, and then he finally told me the words that I was dying to hear.
“Luna, you can push now.” I took a deep breath and pushed with all my strength, until finally I heard the most beautiful cries in the world.
“Congratulations Luna, he is one healthy big boy.” The doctor covered my baby in a blanket from the hospital and put him over my chest.
When I looked at his little face, I felt how tears started forming in my eyes. He was here, and he was perfect. He tried to suck my breast, so I guided him to where he could obtain the milk. I moved my head to look at Kaid. He was staring at our baby, he. He was also trying to control his tears.
The best way I can describe the moment I saw my baby would be love at first sight. He was perfect, and all I wanted to do was to protect this beautiful baby from any harm.
“Thank you love, for giving me the greatest gift ever.” Kaid kissed the top of my head while he gave his index finger to the baby, so he could grab it. Once he did, it seemed like that action had made his heart melt. His love for our little baby now was profound and unconditional.
“Welcome to the world Killian, mommy and daddy were waiting for you.” He smiled when I said that, and at that moment I knew that I had everything that I wanted.
Two years later…
Kaid’s POV
I was cooking something in our kitchen. Right now, we are on vacation in my father’s cabin. It was up in the mountains, but it was a nice change in the scenery. Everything was peace and quiet until I heard Ivy screaming.
“Killian Hills Summers, come here right now!” I heard the giggles of my two-year-old as he ran from his mother.
He wasn’t wearing anything, meaning that Ivy was probably trying to give him a bath.
“Daddy held me.” He said to me. He was the perfect mix between Ivy and I. He has my black hair with Ivy’s curls. My blue eyes, but with Ivy’s gaze. And he was definitely a troublemaker.
“I can’t help you escape from your mom buddy. You need to take a bath.” He pouted and, my goodness, that made my heart melt in that second.
“Pwease?” He gave me his best puppy eyes, and I was about to give in, when Ivy arrived.
“You are not helping him Kaid, now come here Killian.” He tried to run once again, but Ivy used her magic to catch him.
“No faiw.” He frowned and pouted, and if we weren’t trying to discipline him I would have given in.
Ivy finally gave him a bath and sent him to sleep. Peace and quiet reigned in the cabin, and we could finally have some time alone for ourselves. The moonlight filled our bedroom, giving the perfect light, so we could see each other and I could admire Ivy’s beauty. Since she gave birth, her body has changed. Her boobs were bigger, and her hips wider. I trailed her soft curves with my fingertips, while Ivy’s body pressed against mine, igniting a fire inside of me.
Desire took over, and I started kissing her in every spot that I could. She started kissing me as well, and her breath against my skin sent shivers of pleasure down my spine.
She was perfect. My gorgeous Luna. So strong and yet so sweet. She was perfect, and every time we made love we poured all our love. We knew that we belonged to each other in mind, body and soul. She was mine, the same way that I was hers.
Our lips met in a passionate kiss. I felt intoxicated by her, by her touch and her kisses. Her moans were music to my ears, a melody that I wanted to hear every single night.
Every touch, every movement, spoke volumes of the love we shared, a love that had only deepened with time. When she was finally reaching her orgasm, I bit on her mark, and she did too. That made us both finish at the same time, and I had never felt so good.
Once we finished, I filled the tub, so we could get in. It was great to relax after the long day that we had. A toddler could leave you more exhausted than fighting a thousand wolves.
I was giving Ivy a massage when I realized that she was deep in thought.
“What’s wrong baby?” I asked her. She was frowning even if she didn’t notice it.
“I’m just thinking. When I had Killian, I asked you what happened to the doctor that told you that what you felt back then were cheating pains.” I remember that conversation. I couldn’t give her much as the guy fled as soon as he knew that Ivy was in the pack. He wasn’t innocent, that was for sure, but even though I tried to find him, he had vanished.
“Yes baby, and I already told you what happened.” She still seemed to be analyzing something.
“Are you sure that he doesn’t know anything about us? That no one could feed him input from our family?” After what happened with the doctor, I decided to change the way the hospital was managed.
At first, it was supposed to be a hospital to foment medical learning. We had exchange programs, and thus the same doctor didn’t stay long in the facilities. There was only one doctor that stayed there constantly, and that was the one that helped Ivy through her pregnancy, doctor Marcelo Campos. He was sixty by now, and with the change, only him and his cousin helped in the hospital.
If someone wanted to come, they had to pass several tests to have their internship approved. That limited their rotations, but it was the only way I could secure my family.
“I’m sure baby. But if you want, we can double-check when we get back.”
“Yeah we should.” And after that she went to sleep, but I found myself thinking, what does she know?
