He grinned and kissed her.

The doctor came in and chuckled. “So, you have already interpreted the results. Congratulations.”

Dr. Oriel was an alpha who had seen a lot, and nothing fazed her, but she still looked at Polly. “Are you... is that a kimono?”

Minoru chuckled. “She forgot we had an appointment, and this is what she wears at home.”

“Oh, right. Well, you are in remarkably good health. I will give you a prescription for prenatal vitamins. We have three obstetricians on staff, including myself.”

Minoru nodded. “Who would you recommend for a beta pregnancy with multiples?”

“I am the best with high risk, but would your beta be comfortable with an alpha as an obstetrician?” She gave Polly a kind look as if calming a skittish animal.

Polly snorted. “Please, get over yourself. I boss alphas around for a living.”

Minoru laughed. “She actually does.”

The doctor smiled. “Not you?”

He chortled. “Of course, she does. She is the most precious person on the planet.”

Polly rolled her eyes. “I do not boss my alpha around. I just get a look on my face when he hasn’t figured out what I need. It’s a lot of pressure. If you have time, I will accept you as my OB.”

The doctor chucked. “Then I will take you on as my patient.”

Minoru smiled. “The next time you see her, she will be a married woman.”

Polly looked at the pride in his expression. He was excited.

Dr. Oriel made a visit schedule, marking benchmark scans for each one.

They got a list of supplements for her and a discussion of the risks of the multiples. To Polly’s amusement, she was also given a schedule for massages to keep fluid from building up in her lymph system.

Minoru smiled. “I will help.”

The doctor smiled. “I have no doubt. You seem attentive, and your beta has spirit. It’s a good combination, but Polly, you have to keep on top of any and all changes that leave you unwell. I want you to call the office if you feel anything is wrong. Better bill your alpha than leave things to chance.”

Polly nodded. “Yes, doc. And we have a robotic litter box for the cat, so I won’t be handling anything.”

The alpha smiled and patted her head. “Good girl. What kind of cat?”

“Black domestic short hair.” Minoru smiled. “He was my engagement gift. He’s my little buddy and keeps an eye on her while I travel.”

The doctor frowned. “Do you travel a lot?”

“Not anymore.”

“She will need to be attended to at all times. Do you have a pack?”

Minoru shook his head, and Polly shook her head. “I don’t want any more.”

The doctor smiled. “You don’t have to be intimate with all pack members. They can just be part of your grouping.”

Polly blinked. “Oh.”

Minoru rubbed her back slowly. “I will see who I can find. There are a few possibilities that spring to mind, but the protective instinct is what I will seek out.”

“Wait, you are going to interview for a beta-sitter?”
