He blinked at me, his mind wrapping around the onslaught of words.
“Um, okay, wow, that was a lot of words at once.”
“You walked in as I realized,” I admitted. “Hence why I was so eager to go. Fuck, are you going to run away now?”
“Because you might be pregnant?” he asked. “Why would I run? We have at least eight months to get used to the idea, don’t we? We’ve got this.”
His calm confidence in that statement had my panic ebbing away.
“How the fuck am I going to tell them? We barely have a pack house,” I said, the tears already streaming down my face. “We don’t need this right now.”
“Hey, hey,” he said, hopping out of his car and walking around to my door, opening it and unbuckling me so he could pull me into a hug. I clung to my omega as I cried, letting the fear and worry pour out of me.
When my tears dried I pulled away, finally letting the excitement come. This could be amazing for us as well. By the time the baby would get here, the Forrest pack and drama would have dissipated.
“Would it really be that bad?” he asked as he gently swiped away my tears. My watery eyes met his blue ones and I could see the same nervousness and excitement I was starting to feel reflected.
“No,” I admitted. “It was just… unexpected. What if I’m not a good mom?”
“You’ll be the most amazing mom,” he countered before a small laugh escaped. “I guess I found the right time to join this pack, didn’t I?”
“You did,” I laughed through the emotions. He pulled me into one more hug that soothed the rest of my nerves. I breathed in his vanilla mint scent for a few more breaths before I finally let him go.
“You alright now?” he asked, his hand on my chin as he studied me. I nodded once and he brushed a soft, sweet kiss over my lips.
“Don’t tell the others, I want to be sure first,” I admitted. “Maybe we can find a fun way to break the news if the test is positive.”
“That’s a great idea,” Bear said as he helped me climb into the car. He even buckled me in. The omega was even more amazing than I remembered. I was glad he’d found a way to leave the Forrest pack behind.
He belongedwithus.
Unfortunately, his old pack thought he belongedtothem.
A distinction that was going to put them in a world of hurt.
“We’ve got this,” he said before he turned on his blinker and found a chance to pull back into traffic.
Nothing like stopping on the side of the road for a breakdown.
We reached the pharmacy without any more tears. I’d definitely call that progress. My emotions over the past half hour were such a rollercoaster. Now it was everything I could do not to fall over asleep.
“Come on,” he urged when I didn’t try to open my door.
“I’m coming,” I promised, though it took a quick pep talk to myself before I followed him out. He’d managed to circle the car and waited to help me out before I did.
Bear didn’t make me feel bad for my worry and I was thankful for that. Instead, he led me inside and we stopped in the aisle for pregnancy tests.
“Holy hell, how many are there?”
“Too many,” I muttered as I looked at my options. Droppers, line tests, digital. It felt like the entire town was watching me, that prickling feeling on the back of my neck making paranoia rise.
When I turned to look we were alone.
Thank fuck. That would be town gossip in seconds otherwise.
I grabbed one of each type and tucked them under my arm.
“Alright, prescription,” I ordered him.
