“I'll invite Dash to move the cot. You rest, honey.” Axe leans over and kisses my forehead. “You're sweating. I'll get you a wet cloth.”

“Thank you.”

Axe gets me a wet cloth and puts it over my forehead and then leaves the room. Dash comes in shortly after and moves the cot, checking to see if I'm all right, then I'm alone for the day, so I sleep.

Chapter Eighty-Five

This can't be happening. It's too soon. I just had Cash. What will Axe think? The positive pregnancy test is in my shaky hands. That's why I've been sick this week. Axe and I only have sex sometimes. We were being careful. I want to talk to my mum about this, but she and Creed went back to their old home to visit Creed's son for a while. Axe has to be the one I tell before anyone else. I go downstairs. He is sitting on the couch watching tv.

“Are you feeling better?” he asks.

“Where's Cash?”

“He's sleeping.”

“I don't know what I feel,” I murmur.

“What do you mean?” Axe sits forward, staring at me expectantly.

I go over to him and hand him the pregnancy test. He looks down at it and his eyes go wide. Axe looks up at me, his expression stupefied.

“How... we... fuck.” Axe runs his hand through his hair.

“I'm scared, Axe. We only had Cash not long ago... I...”

“You're having a c-section,” he states immediately.

“What?” I frown.

“I can't go through what happened last time. I nearly lost you.” Axe wraps his arms around me and leans his head on my stomach.

“Complications can happen with c-sections too,” I say softly, sliding my fingers in his hair.

“Whatever we need to do to make this as safe for you as we can, we're doing it. Let's go see Cindy.” Axe stands up and picks me up, cradling me to his chest. “I'm not letting you put too much pressure on yourself.” Axe walks us to the door and opens it as Dash walks up to us. Axe must have mind linked him.

“Is everything okay?” Dash asks.

“Yeah, we got to go somewhere. Watch Cash,” Axe says.

Axe puts me in the car and drives us to the infirmary.

“We make Dash babysit a lot,” I say.

“He's going to have a baby so practice is good for him.”

“We're having another baby.” I let out a shaky breath.

“Elora.” He grabs my hand. “It's going to be okay.” He brings my hand to his mouth and kisses it.

We get to the infirmary and go in. We're greeted by a nurse who goes to get Dr Cindy for us. Dr Cindy comes out with a smile.

“Hi Alpha, Luna.”

“Cindy, Elora's pregnant again.”

“Wow.” Her eyes go wide. “Congratulations.”

“We want everything done to make sure she's okay. We'll take any precautions to make sure she's safe,” Axe demands.
