Rosalyn
That was a stab in the back!
Yes, maybe I'm being a little dramatic and in fact that only anticipated the inevitable but... Daddy had no business interfering at all!
Now, not only my stupid brother knows who his mate is for sure, he has a chance to meet her. Fuck! I knew I was losing Alpha but no need to rub it in my face!
I barely got any sleep after that bomb, little did I know my other parent was brewing another.
The next day, at the Full Moon ceremony, dad dropped a bomb on the entire pack - and I don't mean when he told them I was attacked. He wants to transform the Alpha challenge and change it to a wit competition of sorts. I don't know the specifics yet, but that was a curve ball!
For one, I don't think my brother could beat a 5 year old at an intelligence competition. So that means he could be the first Huntington to lose Alpha in 120 years. Harsh!
Anyway, it's not my problem anymore! I am not one to throw in the towel, but I don't see any light at the end of this particular tunnel.
"So, mate, are you sure you want to change the Alpha challenge?" - Daddy asked him, at breakfast the following day.
"Yes, Felix, I'm sure! That's why I have announced it! I figure you'd be happy your son's mate wouldn't go through what you had to!" - Dad spat at him.
"You don't know it'll be our son yet. It's 8 months out!" - Daddy rebuked.
"Thanks daddy, I appreciate it. But what you set in motion can't be stopped now!" - I croaked.
"You can't blame your father for helping his son. Any more than I can blame him for... #Josalyn." - Dad stated, I and Emmett laughed out loud. In fact, aunt Denise too.
"Thanks, dad, I needed a laugh today." - I smirked.
"I just can't help but think you set yourself up to fail on this one. I mean, Emm may be many things, but a smart challenge? I have doubts!" - I snickered.
"I am smart, thank you very much! Just not in the same way you are, little sister." - He rebuked.
"Sure, Emm. Whatever you tell yourself late at night. I just hope maybe your mate can help you. She does look smart!" - I told him in an amused tone.
"Thank you, Rosalyn, I'll take the compliment." - He croaked.
"See, son, that's a good way to resolve a conflict." - Daddy chimed in.
"Thanks, daddy." - He replied, smiling. I muttered 'traitor' to daddy.
The next day, I faced warrior practice as I did most days, it was just to pass the time. Sure, I always got kicked around. But at least I was getting my exercise on. Silver linings!
John has been there for me since that dinner, I just never felt into it anymore. I mean, I still loved him and didn't want to break up or anything, but I wasn't in the mood for girlfriend stuff.
Sometimes, we do just want to Netflix and chill. Who knew?
Of course, being the gentle boy that he is, he never wavered in his desire for my company, so we pass the day watching movies and eating popcorn in the play room. It was so boring even daddy gave up his watchful eye on us. But to me it was nice to just stay together and enjoy each other's company.
I am at a hospital. The nurses put me on a wheelchair and as I seat on it, I notice my huge belly.
I'm pregnant! They rushed me to the delivering room. Aunt Daphne's already there waiting for me.
She says I was doing a great job and to lay down on the hospital bed, which I did.
I see a lot of hospital equipments. Suddenly, someone asks:
"Has the father of the child arrived?"
"No, he's running late, but he has been notified!" - Aunt Daphne replied.
I look to Aunt Daphne and tell her I am scared.
She reassures me it's everything all right with me and the baby. I smiled at her.
"Push, push!" - Says the doctor.
By now my legs are opened wide, the doctor is trying to deliver the baby. Aunt Daphne is there to support.
"Push, push!" - Repeats the doctor.
I'm panting like crazy, sweating trough all my pores.
"It's hard!" - I whined. I'm in so much pain already, it's nothing like I've ever felt before.
"It's okay, Rosalyn, just a little push!" - John said to me, holding my hand. By now, he was there by my side at the room. He was very nervous, but he didn't let it show.
I feel like I'm being torn from inside out when the baby comes out. It's an unbearable pain, I almost faint.
I screamed. I hear the baby cry.
"Welcome, little Alpha!" - Says the doctor as he wraps the baby in a blanket and check their health. The nurse moves to hand me my baby when...
"Rosalyn, wake up!" - John woke me up, shaking me softly.
I looked at him so scared. Tears escaped my eyes. I was nervous and so angry.
"What happened? You were screaming in your dream!" - He asked, worriedly.
I jumped on top of him and started slapping him up and down. I was fuming!
I hit him and he tried to defend with his arms up, covering himself. But I wouldn't stop. He yelled for help.
Daddy came and cried out for assistance. Uncle Nate came and so did dad and separated me from him. I was livid!
"What happened, Rosalyn?" - Dad asked me as he kept me from hitting John.
"What happened, son?" - Uncle Nate asked him, very concerned.
"I don't know!" - John answered, nearly crying. His expression was of deep worry.
"You fucker!" - I shouted at him.
"She was sleeping and woke up hitting me. I didn't do anything, I swear!" - John cried out to his dad. He looked so scared.
"Rosalyn, what happened? Tell me, please!" - Dad stood in front of me and looked me deep in my eyes.
"I had a bad dream." - I told him, sobbing.
"Yes, but why were you hitting John? Did he do anything?" - He asked me with a concerned tone.
"Yes, he got me pregnant!" - I told dad and I could see the shock in his eyes. In every one's.
I sobbed. Hard. I cried in my dad's arms so much, I was inconsolable. John cried too in his dad's.
Half an hour later, we're in the kitchen, I'm drinking a glass of water and telling them all about my dream earlier. As I spoke, I saw John's face looking more and more scared. And he was already frightened to begin with!
"Can't you smell it on her? I can't!" - Uncle Nate asked dad.
"No, but it can take a while for the scent to be caught. She's too early on!" - Dad replied, worriedly.
I sobbed hard. Daddy came to my side and held me. He too looked concerned for me.
"I'll take her to the hospital to do some exams." - Dad told us, after a while.
"I can't believe this! I took the fucking pill" - I cried it out.
"You do know that the pill have to be taken at a specif time in the month and for a certain amount of time for it to work, right?" - Dad interjected.
"What?!" - I and John shouted, gasped at the information.
"Are you sure?" - I asked him, looking deeply in his eyes.
"Yes, I am sure. Did your aunt Daphne never tell you this?" - He retorted.
"No! I just took the pills and left. I didn't know any of this, I was so nervous!" - I admitted, though not easily.
"I used a condom. That's impossible!" - John exclaimed. He looked so shocked.
"A virgin and a condom. When did that ever go wrong?" - Uncle Nate snickered.
"Thank you dad, really helpful!" - John was pissed. Both of us were.
"Rosalyn, I'm sorry..."
"Dad, if you say I'm blocked from Alpha I'm gonna gouge you! I know, alright? Don't need to throw it in my face!" - I spat at him, livid.
"I was gonna say I'm sorry this is happening to you. I thought you're safe!" - He said in an apologetic tone.
"I thought so too, dad! Fucking John Fucking Underwood. I never want to see your stupid face again!" - I was fuming I was so angry at him, even though it's not exactly his fault. Not alone anyway.
John cried. He was even more adorable when he was vulnerable, which made me even more mad at him.
Dad wouldn't let the Underwoods accompany us. Only he and daddy went with me to the hospital. Of course, aunt Daphne welcomed us when we got there, cause she was uncle Nate's first call. I mean, that was obvious as she was gonna be a grandma. Gasp!
She took some blood from me and ran some tests. All I had to do was wait for the results. I could go home and wait over there, but I refused to leave the hospital without knowing.
Emmett showed up at the hospital lounge where we were waiting.
"If you make any snarky comment, I swear I'll shift right here and eat you!" - I looked at him threateningly. I was NOT in the mood!
He just holds me. I cried some more. I almost wanted John by my side through this. Almost. But now I would just feast on his bones I was so angry.
After a few hours, Aunt Daphne took us to her doctor's office. I could see the stern look she had. I could tell this was difficult for her too. We entered the office minus Emmett, who waited outside.
"Aunt Daphne, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen..."
"You're not pregnant!" - She told me point blank.
"What?! Are you sure? Did you run the labs? Run it twice!" - I was baffled. So were my dads.
"I did, of course, this is not something I'd take lightly! You're not pregnant!" - She stated, confidently.
"However, I did see something concerning on your exams." - She continued. Dads and I gasped.
"Wait, what?!" - I was gobsmacked.
"You have a condition called polycystic ovary, which makes it very difficult for you to get pregnant in the first place!" - She told me. I was floored.
"Can you treat it?" - Dad asked her.
"You can, of course. But there's no guarantee that it'll work or that you'll ever get pregnant!" - She informed us. My heart sank. I didn't want to be pregnant now but that doesn't mean I'll never want to, of course I do. At least one with my mate, whoever he is. And only after college.
"Thanks, aunt Daphne. I came here worried I ruined my life. Now my life seems more ruined than when I came in the first place!" - I croaked. I was devastated.
"It's not the end of the world! There are options available to you." - She tried to cheer me up.
"I know, thanks Aunt Daph!" - I kissed her goodbye.
We leave the medical office after aunt Daphne gives me the prescriptions. And Emmett looked to us for an answer.
"I'm not blocked from Alpha, brother. I'm just blocked from giving birth altogether!" - I smirked in a gloomy tone.
"We'll explain later, son, but she's not pregnant!" - Dad told him. He was relieved for me.
"It's just so vivid! The dream I mean... the doctor even called the baby 'little Alpha'." - I spoke in a sad tone.
"Funny, if you did had the baby they could never be Alpha!" - Emmett said, confused.
"I know, that's the weirdest part!" - I pondered.
"Look at the bright side, you can still be Alpha!" - Daddy told me, cheerfully.
"Thanks, daddy. You always go for the glass half full." - I croaked.
"It's my gift, daughter." - Daddy replied. We all laughed softly.
We go to the car parked outside the hospital. Emmett goes to ours since he arrived later. I was very much torn with the news. I didn't want to be pregnant, but I also didn't want the possibility to be removed from me. But at least I wasn't blocked from Alpha. Not until Emm found his mate the coming Friday anyway.
