after my episode, of sudden pain, my brother quickly rushed me to the hospital.

"Preeclampsia!" I said shocked, "yes Preeclampsia, it's a.." "I know what it is" I interrupted. "aren't i still to early in my pregnancy for that though?" I asked. "there are some cases, where if the mother is under significant stress, then it can develop even before the 20 week mark" the doctor explained. "What do I have to do to fix it?" I asked. "I suggest taking it easy for the remainder of your pregnancy, you need to do everything possible to keep your blood pressure from rising, which means no stress and no exerting yourself, you have to stay as calm as possible or it will get worse and affect the baby" she continued to explain.

"all right thank you" I said "I'll start on the discharge papers" the doctor said with a light smile. then she left the room. "preeclampsia... I can't believe it" I sent to my brother who was standing right next to me. "really?" he said "I'm actually not all that surprised" he continued "and why is that?" I asked sarcastically "well for starters you're about to start medical school that's stressful, you are almost killed by someone who is basically your ex along with your ex best friend, and just found out that you have a mate who is an alpha werewolf who's also surprisingly and very shockingly understanding about to pregnancy, considering he is an alpha werewolf and you are his mate" my brother explained. 

"I'm just so tired of everything already" I said exhausted "how is this even possible, any of this?" I said confused. "I mean as a wolf he shouldn't have been able to get me pregnant it's not supposed to happen, I mean yeah there are times when a witch or a vampire just so happens to be mated to a wolf that happens more often than anyone thinks. but not once has there ever been a recorded pregnancy from any of it" I said only growing more confused. "what exactly am I supposed to do?" I asked looking to my brother for advice.

he took a deep breath "let's start with school why don't you just take online courses for the year and we'll go from there" my brother said as a sort of solution "okay" I agreed. "I'll do it, our biggest problem right now is Nathan. if the alpha council knows that this is his child then so does he, and I have a feeling he's not going to give up his child so easily" I said.

and I wasn't wrong. I was quickly discharged from the hospital. I was under strict advisement to stay as calm as possible do everything I can to keep my blood pressure from rising for the safety of the child. when Chris found out that I was in the hospital he practically ran to me. I had forgiven him, if I really was his mate then I had to give him a chance. I understood where he was coming from if I had known that I was his mate sooner I probably would have thought that it was only because of the mate bond that made me want him.

he took care of me though especially when my brother had to go to work. and then there was Nathan...

"you're not welcome here" Chris said talking to Nathan who's at my apartment door. "This isn't your territory, it's Neutral ground, anyone can be here" Nathan said as I hid in the kitchen. "She doesn't want you here!" Chris said trying to get him to leave. "She's carrying my pup, if she wants me to leave she can tell me herself" he replied. "I don't want you here" I said appearing behind Chris. 

"Amber please, we need to talk" Nathan said trying to get past Chris. "Nathan... I tried to talk to you, multiple times and you just blew me off" I countered. "Amber please!" he begged. "Seeing an alpha beg, that's definitely a sight to see" I said "Amber there's something you have to know..." he said "I DONT CARE!" I yelled "Fuck!" I said turning around and taking a deep breath. 'You have to stay calm' I thought to myself.

"I think you should go" Chris said once more to Nathan. Nathan ignored him. "Amber, wolves are coming for the child" Nathan said. I turned around to face him. "What do you mean?" I asked "A witch" he said "A witch from your coven had a vision, she said that the child will be the end of both witches and wolves" he continued. "There hunting you" he finished. "how do you know that?" I asked. "Derek" he said "Derek was told by another witch in your coven and he told me, I mainly came to warn you" he tried to explain.

"I understand, you don't want me in your life right now because of what happened, and I am willing to wait however long it takes but please don't let me not be in my child's life, please let me help protect the both of you" he pleaded. "um I-I need time to think" I said turning around again and just walking to the nursery. "good chat" Chris said then slammed the door.

I stood in the nursery. it was on complete yet, but we were slowly bringing in furniture and still deciding on what we wanted to paint the walls. "can you do me a favor and see if what he's saying is true" I asked turning to Chris who is now standing behind me. he nodded "yeah let me make some calls" he said hugging me.

I still don't know much about Chris. other than the rumors. he was a powerful Alpha. the rumor said he was ruthless, cunning, evil. he cared only for his pack, and would do anything and everything to protect it. even if that meant destroying everything. that's what the rumor was. but I didn't see any of that. he was sweet and kind and definitely powerful. no wolf that wasn't an alpha could resist his command. but there was time I wondered if parts of the rumors were true...
