“Push for me, Luna,” the doctor ordered as Kiara squeezed my hand, obeying. She was strong, barely any sound escaped her, and she hadn’t taken any pain relief either.
“Stop.”
Kiara breathed heavily, and I breathed with her, guiding her as I pressed my forehead to hers gently.
“You’re doing great. Not long now,” I said, nodding slowly as I brushed her hair back. It had been braided, but it was no longer as neat as it was yesterday. Strands of her hair stuck to her face, and I gently brushed them back as she rested her head against my chest. Her heart was thundering as I knew another contraction rushed through her.
“Don’t fucking focus on the bond,” I growled, knowing she was trying to hold the block up so I didn’t feel anything. She gave me a weak smile before she let out a gasp of pain as she pushed.
“Another push, come on, Luna, this is it. Our little baby is almost here!” Linda said, relief and excitement in her voice.
“What’s your guess?” She whispered before she pushed, biting her lip to stop her scream.
My guess… the movements were unpredictable, and although it was not as wild as Dante had been with the painful kicking, it was still a strong pup. Kiara had said she thought it was a girl, but I had refused to guess. Even now, I had no idea, but either way, I was excited to meet our pup.
“As long as it’s healthy, I don’t care,” I said, kissing her lips softly as she let out a soft scream and pushed with all her might. Her face was scrunched up, but I could tell it was close.
“The heads out. My, that’s a lot of hair,” Linda said. “Push.”
“I am,” Kiara replied breathlessly as she focused on the doctor.
My own heart was pounding. The moment to meet our pup was here… I couldn’t explain it. No matter if it was the first or third fucking time, it still filled me with nervousness. Would I have a prince or another princess?
Kiara let out a whimper of pain, and I crouched down by the bed, caressing her forehead and holding her hand that gripped mine to my chest.
“You got this, Amore Mio. Our pup’s almost here… you are a fucking queen, and you’re doing incredibly,” I murmured, wishing I could take her pain from her.
Two pushes later, her eyes flashed purple, and she let out a gasp as our pup’s cry filled the room. My heart thundered as I looked into Kiara’s gorgeous eyes before turning to the doctor.
“Congratulations, Alpha, Luna. It’s a beautiful baby girl.” I closed my eyes, a strong surge of happiness filling me as Kiara let out a weak laugh.
“A girl. I was right,” she murmured as I kissed her shoulder, standing up and hugging her tightly.
“Fuck, you did it. You’re fucking incredible,” I murmured before moving back as Linda passed our princess to Kiara, who pulled open a few buttons of her dress and rested our pup against her chest. “Thank fuck that’s over,” I said, kissing Kiara’s forehead before turning my attention to our little pup.
A head full of dark hair greeted me before she turned her head up and stared at her mama. A cute button nose, plump lips, and big innocent eyes.
“Fuck, I don’t think I can tell her off for causing you so much pain…” I muttered, making Kiara gigglebefore she kissed our pup once more.
“Of course not. Look at that face, she looks like you!”
She fucking didn’t. She was too damn cute.
It’s a girl,I said through the link to Elijah and Darien, knowing they’d pass the message on to all our family and to the pack. Linda cut the cord before she looked between us.
“Excuse me. I will give you both a little while,” she said, leaving us alone with our pup, unable to hide the smile on her face. The entire pack would party in celebration of the birth of our new pup.
Kiara scooted over a little, and I sat down next to her, wrapping my arm around her as I half lay next to her.
“Have you told anyone?” I nodded.
“Yeah, think everyone’s been on edge waiting for this news. I’m fucking proud of you, Amore Mio.” She looked up at me, kissing me softly.
“Thank you… for giving me this little angel,” she whispered.
“Well… it was fun to make her.” I shrugged, making Kiara laugh. “So… name? You said if it was a boy, I got to name him, and if it was a girl, you got to name her. Wait, did Dante tell you it was going to be a girl?”
“No, I didn’t ask him.” She smiled. “But I have a name. If you trust me, I would like to keep it for her.”
