Abused Mate

Chapter Nine

*Alexandrias POV* 

After he left I took over and ran everything. I took care of meetings. I ran his company and took care of the pack. I have been so stressed about it all. It doesn’t help that I have no idea where he is. A week turned into a month and I was still throwing up and getting sick I couldn’t keep anything down. I blamed it all on stress. But I did promise the girls that if it got worse I would go get checked out. I didn’t. I ignored it. Until the second month passed. It never let up. He has been gone for two months. And I’m still sick every day. I throw up until nothing is left in my stomach and then I dry heave until I can’t breathe but I’m gaining weight. I am still in charge of everything and taking care of everyone. Today is the day that I promised Liv and Rylee that I would go to the doctor. So I’m setting in an exam room in the pack hospital. I set waiting for all of my test results when the doctor comes in. 

“Alexandria?” They ask 

“Yes that is me” 

“Nice to meet you, we got all of your test results back and everything is looking good” he says. 

“So what is wrong?” I ask him 

“You’re pregnant” and with my my whole world stops. I’m pregnant. We are having a baby. And he isn’t here. I automatically start crying. 

“I’m going to bring in the ultrasound so that we can check on everything, ok?” He asks waiting for my permission. I just nod my head yes and continue crying. The nurse comes in and puts the cold gel on my stomach. 

“There she is” 

“She?” I ask excitedly. 

“Yes, Luna you are having a girl. You are three months along. So you should only have 2-3 months left of your pregnancy. Wolfs don’t carry as long as humans do.” And with that she gave me the printed pictures and walks out. The girls walk in and I just set and cry. I hand them the pictures and they are over joyed. 

“Oh honey, I’m sos sorry” Rylee said as she gave me a big hug 

“No this is good. I’m happy. We wanted this. But he isn’t here” I cry as I stand up and rub my belly. “It is kinda round isn’t it?” I ask with a laugh. 

“Kinda?” Liv laughed “girl I was going to make you start working out” she said and with that we all laughed. 

After that we went shopping for everything baby girl. I finally got some medication to help with the nausea and my belly grew more and more by the day. Two and a half months have went by with still no word. I cry every night. But I’m still in charge of so many things. Everyone is asleep right now. I’ve been in active labor with contractions that have been killing me for hours. I haven’t told anyone. I am pacing my room because it relieves the pressure. That is until my water breaks. I grab the go bags and get in my car and drive myself to the hospital and instruct them not to tell anyone. I went to the room and got into my gown. I had about another hour worth of extremely painful contractions before I started pushing. I gave birth to a perfect healthy 7 pound 12 ounces baby girl. With navy fuz on the top of her head. I refused to see anybody the entire hospital stay. It was only two days. Then when we got home I locked us in our room. I was coming to the realization that I believed Demetry was dead. I didn’t want to see anybody. I just wanted time alone with my daughter. We were home and I was exhausted as I set here and silently cry. It’s my first night at home alone with her and I’m struggling so much. It’s 3 in the morning and I’m drifting to sleep on and off between her cries. Then I feel as if I am going crazy when the locked door begins to open. Only two of us have that key. Me and Demetry. And someone starts to walk in. 

*Demetrys POV* 

Four and a half months I’ve been gone. I fully expected it it be one but nowhere close to this.i have finally eliminated the threat and it’s safe for me to go home.  I know it’s late as I walk into the house it is completely silent. Then I hear a faint cry but it doesn’t last long. I quietly walk up the stairs and to our door that to my surprise is locked. I quietly unlock the door and open it and I am shocked by what I see. Lex is setting in bed half asleep crying while holding a baby. 

“Love?” I ask her 

“Yup I’ve really lost it.. mommy is crazy” she says looking down at the baby. Taken back I just look at her speechless before I can force a word out 

“Mommy?” I ask questionably. She turns a lamp on and that’s when I can finally see her face red and puffy from crying and she has dark circles under her eyes. She lays the baby down and stands up whining in pain. I run over to her and hug her 

“Your home” she says and cries 

“Hey no tears, I’m so sorry I’ve been gone so long” 

She picks the baby up and shows her to me 

“Demetry I want you to meet Blair Johnson” she says while passing the baby over to me. I feel tears roll down my face as I look down at my gorgeous daughter. She looks just like her mother. But then her little eyes open. She has my eyes. She makes a little noise before sticking her lip out and letting out a cry “she is just hungry” she said as she scoops the baby back up and positions her at her chest and begins breast feeding. 

“When was she born” I ask crying because I missed everything 

“Tonight is our first night home” she whispers as our daughter eats. 

“I’m so sorry Alexandria” I say as I continue to cry. 

“Don’t be sorry. You were doing what you had to. If you don’t care please come set behind me and just hold me for a while so I can feed her” she says clearly exhausted. I quickly throw on a pair of sweatpants and get behind her as she leans against me I feel sparks fly through my body. I missed the feeling of her skin against mine. 

“I want to know everything” I said as our gorgeous baby started to fall asleep. 

“There isn’t much to tell. I didn’t find out until two months ago” she said as she laid the baby down and curled back in to me. 

“Get some rest. If she gets up I will take care of her. And anything you need just let me know” I say 

“I haven’t pumped much but the little fridge across the room has enough milk in it for if I can’t stay awake.” She said as she drifted to sleep in my arms. I pick Blair up and as I hold both girls tightly I realize how stupid I was to leave in the first place. It was the biggest mistake of my life.
