“I’d love that,” Scott hugged him.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Scott
Inside the house I sat down on the sofa with Salta and asked Terrick to make us some blood shakes. They both definitely needed them after all the running around the woods they did. I picked a twig out of Salta’s hair and flashed her a sad smile.
“Change sucks, huh? It always brings out the big emotions,” I said to her once we were alone. “Do you want to talk about it?”
“I can’t. It’s a secret,” she huffed, looking down at her lap.
“What’s a secret?” I asked.
“That my brother’s pregnant,” she said.
I laughed and she stared up at me as if I lost my mind.
“Pregnancy isn’t funny. People die from being pregnant. My dad died from being pregnant.”
The laughter died in my throat and I let out a long breath.
“Terrick isn’t pregnant. Terrick is an Alpha. I’m pregnant.”
“Well, I don’t want you to die or almost die either,” she said as if I missed the point.
“My parents are doctors. I’m not going to die,” I told her gently.
“You better not,” she crossed her arms. “I still want you guys to move back home, though. What happens if the humans come for the babies?”
“Salta, can I ask you a question? A serious one?”
“Okay,” she looked weary.
“Have you met a human before? One who doesn’t shift, that is.”
“No,” she shook her head.
“So, the baby’s probably safe from them, right?” I asked.
“Probably, but ---” she huffed out a breath.
Poor kid was running out of points to argue.
“What about this? How would you like to have two bedrooms?” I asked her.
“Mom would never let me,” she sighed.
“Well, you’d have your bedroom there and then you could have one here with all sorts of stuff and space too. That would make two bedrooms and your mom wouldn’t say no, because you’d only have one at her house.”
“Will I be allowed to see the baby?” she asked.
“Of course! You’re Aunt Salta!” I grinned as some of the fear left her scent.
“Okay. So, have you been to see the baby doctor?” she asked, putting on her grownup voice.
“Not yet,” I shook my head.
“Why? Is it hard to get an appointment? Mom says we’re lucky because we don’t have to wait a long time for appointments like some people do in other places.”
