“No, it’s not that,” I smiled.
“Then why?” she asked.
I didn’t want to explain to an eleven-year-old that my wolf was crunchy enough to try to eat a dragon right now. So what the hell was I supposed to say?
“We were waiting on you,” Terrick walked into the living room carrying the bloodshakes and both saving my ass and betraying me.
There was no way I could go see Dara right now. My wolf hadn’t calmed down at all.
“Why?” she asked, taking the bloodshake he offered her.
“We wanted to make sure you were here to get a copy of the sonogram,” Terrick handed me my shake and sat down on the other side of his sister with his.
“When are we going?” she asked.
“It’s the weekend. I bet no one’s at the clinic,” I said, covering my own tail.
“Dara will come over if he’s not working. The clinic says seven days a week,” Terrick smiled at me. “We can go as soon as we’re done with the shakes, if you want to, Scott.”
“That’s a dirty rotten trick!” I spat the words out over our mating link.
“I’m concerned too. I think we need to make sure everything’s okay and if having my little sister around is what it takes to get your wolf to behave then I’ll use it as a dirty rotten trick. We don’t know how my current situation will affect the babies or if it will at all. I think we need to go and why not today?”
“Okay,” I said aloud.
Terrick was right. Regardless of how riled up my wolf was I had to go to the clinic sooner or later. Sooner would be better, but the thought of anyone touching my stomach made me feel extra bitey.
“It’ll be okay. I don’t like the doctor either,” Salta nodded. “They’re bossy and always want to vaccinate you against something.”

An hour later, I lay stretched on Dara’s exam table with my shirt still on. Terrick sat in a chair, close enough to hold my hand while his sister perched on the arm of the chair. Dara entered slowly, waving his clipboard through the crack first as if checking for danger before entering. Salta laughed and my wolf’s muscles coiled tight ready to pounce.
“I’ve heard that you are the bitey one,” Dara grinned at me when he fully entered the room and shut the door behind him. “Oh, and you brought the girl who has the sword. I better be on my best behavior!”
“You better. That’s my brother’s baby in there!” Salta nodded at him.
“Oh, I’m on notice,” he grinned. “I like to think I’m always nice to my patients. I’ve never bitten one of them, but I’ve been bitten.”
“Probably because you give people shots,” she scolded.
“Eh, sometimes,” he shrugged. “So, we’ve gotten the pixelated baby already?”
“Yes,” Terrick and I said at the same time.
“Good to know.”
“I haven’t had morning sickness, but I’ve been using the gummies as a preventive,” I told him.
“Good idea,” Dara nodded. “We’ll start with an ultrasound to take a look at baby and then see where we’re at.”
I sat up and Dara flashed me a knowing grin.
“I’d prefer not to be bitten, but here,” he held out his hand, “I find it easier to get the biting out of the way in the beginning.”
My wolf cocked his head to the side. Why did the dragon want to be bitten?
“No, okay then. You can’t say I didn’t offer,” Dara shrugged, rounding the examination table to the machine.
