I nod in understanding, although I don’t get how her mother could shun her for getting pregnant.
We drove in silence for about half an hour before pulling up at a clinic. I park the car and we both head inside where Tabitha gives the receptionist her name before we sit down. The entire clinic is filled with pregnant she-wolves and I feel their eyes on me. Some smile and some just look, wondering why I am here with Damien’s mistress.
After a few minutes Tabitha’s name is called, she looks up before standing while I remain seated.
“You can come in” She says, waiting for me to decide. Everyone’s eyes are on me to see what I decide. Deciding to be supportive, I got up and followed her. They took us into a room with a bed and some computer equipment. Tabitha seemed to know what she was doing as she laid on the ultrasound table and lifted her shirt.
A red-haired lady came in with a gentle smile on her face. “I was wondering when you would finally come Tabitha” She says. Tabitha nods her head.
“Yeah, you know what mums like” The woman nodded before placing some gel on her belly and moving the ultrasound device over her belly.
“How far along did you say you are?” the ultrasound technician asks after a few minutes.
“I should still have nine weeks and three days left” Tabitha says, confused.
“Why is something wrong?” She asks and I hear her heart rate pick up.
“Did you get your first scan done in a human facility?” The technician asks.
Tabitha nods her head. “There is a reason you can’t do that, and this explains why you're measuring so big already, you only have two weeks left. You can go any day now. Baby is head down and engaged already,” The woman explains. My heart rate picks up and so does Tabitha’s as a horrified expression takes over her face.
“That soon” She whispers, just as shocked as me.
“Yes, Tabitha. You should have known better than to go to a human facility”
“I didn’t want mum to find out. You know what mum’s like Annabelle, if I walked in here she would have found out before she did” Tabitha whispered.
I looked at the screen; the picture was unbelievably detailed. You could see almost perfectly, could see its eye’s, lips even watch as it moved around, even its fingernails.
“Do you want to know the gender?”
Tabitha nodded her head excitedly. I didn’t know what to think. It felt strange looking at my mate’s baby on the screen, and jealousy flared a little.
“Look here,” The woman said, pointing to the screen. We both leant in looking. To me, it didn’t look like anything. Tabitha squealed excitedly.
“It’s a girl,” She said.
“That’s correct you’re having a little girl” I smiled happily for her but was also numb. Knowing the gender kind of made it feel more real.
After the scan, we waited in the waiting room for some prints. The technician printed two lots, one for Tabitha and one for the Alpha. Hopping in the car, I placed the scans on the back seat and started the car.
“Thanks for coming,” She said, and I nodded.
“I suppose I will have to prepare now that she is coming sooner rather than later” She stated. My stomach felt like it was in knots and Layla has said nothing the entire time I have been with her. I felt like she was blocking me out. If our roles were reversed, I probably would have blocked myself out too.
“Have you got everything you need?” I ask.
“Yes, I have the basics, I am just hoping Trey is let out so he can help me. He said he would”
“You have had no problems with him, he isn’t mad?” I ask curiously.
“No, he has accepted it. It will excite him to know he can mark me earlier than planned” I nod.
“I will speak to Damien and see if we can hurry along with him being released” Tabitha looked at me hopefully.
She showed me where she lived and I dropped her off, her house was almost directly across from us.
“You want to come in?” She asks.
