Nick stayed true to his word, and neither of us got much sleep last night. We were awake until almost 3 am, and even after that, Nick woke me up twice and made love to me before we passed back out. And if that wasn’t enough, he then woke me up at 7 am with his head between my legs. I swear that man would live between my legs if he could, not that you’ll ever hear me complaining 

First thing this morning, after we had both showered and dressed, Nick was on the phone with the doctor and had an appointment arranged right away. Of course, this is in no way a coincidence. Being the Alpha and future Luna of this pack is without a doubt, the only reason that we got an appointment so soon, but I’m grateful for that. 

Everyone knows that pregnancy tests can be false, and as much as I’ve had physical signs of pregnancy, I still need physical proof that it’s real, because until I do, I keep worrying that there’s been a mistake, and the thought of that makes me want to cry. What if it is wrong? What if I’m not pregnant? 

“Are you ready, darling?” Nick’s voice brings me out of my head as I’m sitting at my dressing table brushing my hair. He comes to stand behind me and rests his hands on my shoulders. “Yep, I’m ready.” I force the best smile that I can manage, but of course, with Nick being my mate, it’s almost impossible to fool him and not just because he can feel my emotions, nope, he already knows me too well and knows when I’m lying just by looking at me and let me tell you it’s fricking annoying! 

“What’s wrong, darling?” He gently massages my shoulders as his eyes meet mine in the vanity mirror that’s on my dressing table. “Nothing. I’m fine. We’d better get going.” I stand up and go to walk around him, but before I can get past him, he snakes his arm around my waist and pulls me into him. “Not so fast, sweetheart.” He pulls me tight against his chest and looks down at me with nothing but worry. “Talk to me.” 

“I’m just being silly. Honestly, it’s fine. We had better go before we’re late for the doc.” He gives me that look that tells me that he knows that I’m bullshitting, and I almost want to cry at how much he knows me, of how he always knows when I’m trying to lie… almost… except underneath my frustration I can’t deny how much I love it, all of it. 

“Whatever it is, is worrying you, and there’s nothing silly about that? The doctor will wait all day for us if he needs to, so spill before I find another way of persuading you to talk and believe me when I tell you that if we’re going that route, the doc will be lucky if we make it to him before the end of the day never mind the end of our appointment!” 

His words send a shiver racing through my body, and as much as I like the idea of him persuading me, my need to confirm this pregnancy is greater right now. “I’m just scared.” Instantly, he looks worried, but he quickly does his best to try and mask it. Unfortunately for him, I know him just as well as he knows me, and I don’t miss the look. “What if the test is wrong? What if it was a false positive? What if… what if there’s no pup after all? What if, after all that’s happened with Lottie, we find out that we’re not even pregnant?” 

By the time I finish talking, I’m out of breath, slightly shaking, and I’m pretty sure that I’m blue in the face from lack of breath. “OK, ok. So, firstly, I need you to calm down, sweetheart.” I take several deep breaths as he runs his hands up and down my arms while placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. “Now, while there is a chance that it was a false positive, if we both think about it, you have been showing some pregnancy signs for at least a few days now. He’s right, I have been showing signs so between all those signs and the positive pregnancy test there’s no way it can be wrong, right?
