Everleigh:
Today I woke up feeling a lot better than I have the past mornings but I still feel nauseous so I booked myself an appointment at the pack doctor to run some tests to make sure that my wolf isn't going dulally and that we are in fact with pup.
I walked down the stairs dressed in a pair of black shorts and a random shirt, a pair of trainers and my hair up in a ponytail, not really bothered with makeup this morning.
I head downstairs to the kitchen to grab something to eat. I knew that Clair was taking care of Rose and Asher was at a meeting with the rest of the boys so it was only us girls today.
I said good morning to everyone and after lunch, I went to my doctor's appointment. Taking one of Ash's cars out, I drove to the pack doctor that was working in a human clinic since it was all up to date with technology and Ash's pack includes a human city in its centre. After waiting for a few minutes in the waiting room after signing up it was my turn to be called.
I was in the office, sitting patiently for the doctor to come back with my blood test results. I had an unsettled feeling in my stomach. Then she walked in results in hand.
"Congratulation Luna, you are 8 weeks pregnant. " her warm smile reassured me a little. But I knew that I was pregnant and now that I know for sure I don't know how to feel. Happy? Sad? Excited? Nervous? I don't know.
I guess I'm looking forward to another baby, I love being a mum to Rose and I would love to be a mum to many more pups. But we never talked about it with Ash.
What if he doesn't want another baby? I asked myself.
Won't that create conflict between Rose and the new pup regarding who will be the next King, Queen or Alpha?
Hush now. All will be fine, Rose for the moment is the heir but she can choose whether or not she wants to take your place. She doesn't have that leading spirit like you do, well at least not as the leading lady of the werewolf kind for the moment, she may only want to be the Luna of the pack and not queen.
My wolf rationalised. She was right, nothing forces her to take my place as queen. Besides she is too young yet, she will have to wait until she finds her mate to make a solid decision.
"Come back in a two to three weeks for the first scan. And congrats again on the baby and the engagement with Alpha." I looked towards the doctor surprised.
"How do you know?" I raised an eyebrow at her, we haven't publicly announced to the pack that we were engaged.
She smiled and laughed a little before answering.
"The big rock on your finger gave it away. " she shook her head pointing at my beautiful engagement ring on my left hand. I smiled at it and thanked her before leaving back to go home.
As I walked in I was greeted by a pair of little arms wrapped around my legs holding me very tight.
"Hello, mummy! I mwissed you bery much!" I pulled her into my arms and kissed her cheek.
"Hello, my little princess. Mummy missed you soooo much! How was it with nanny Clair?" I asked wiping her stray blond hair out of her face, walking ourselves to the living room where everyone was.
"Good afternoon everybody! " I was greeted by "hi"'s and "afternoon". Soon enough a was taken into a kiss by non-other than my fiancé that I love so much.
"Hello, beautiful. How was your appointment? Is everything alright." The slight worry was clear in his eyes. I smiled brightly thinking about the news I had received today and nodded.
"Everything couldn't be better" we kissed again but my statement couldn't be more wrong.
Later on that evening I was playing with Rose on the floor and I was trying to think of a cute way to tell Asher that he is going to be a Dad again. And this time I won't drop the D bomb on him like I did with Ro.
The doorbell rang so I stood up and dusted myself off before opening the door.
Was standing there, my mother and behind her was my Dad.
"Why are you here?" I really don't like when they come unannounced like that.
"Why for dinner of course." My mother said smugly.
She walked in like she owned the place and didn't even bother greeting me, unlike my father, who like always, pulled me into a hug.
I followed them into the living room where Ro still was playing with her toys.
"Gosh, this house is a pig sty! Don't you ever clean it?" And here we go with the criticism! The only thing out of order was Ro's toys and she didn't have many of them. The major stack was in her room. She only had a little box that stayed downstairs.
"I do clean mother but I do have other obligations and the house is not a 'pigsty' as you so called it," I said I little more harshly than I had intended.
"It's alright pumpkin, the house looks fine. " I dad pipped in and thank god for that! I smiled at him gratefully as he walked over to play with Ro.

Asher Mortimer:
I was walking down to see what my girls are doing since I had just finished signing a couple contracts when the door rang.
My mom was out getting some shopping for tonight's dinner that she and Leigh would cook for tonight since I gave the night off to Louis, Paul, Ray and Carter because we have been working with no breaks for four days straight because of a new gang that have been breaking the accords.
I walked up to the living room but stopped before entering listening to what was being said.
"Gosh, this house is a pig sty! Don't you ever clean it?" I woman's voice that I didn't quite recognise said.
"I do clean mother but I do have other obligations and the house is not a 'pigsty' as you so called it."
So it's Everleigh's mother! How dare she say that this house is a mess! It's not Everleigh's job to clean the house 24/7 we are not in the 1950' and besides I pay people to clean this house.
But luckily her father added something to calm the growing tensions.
My mom soon walked in with the groceries and I went and helped her.
We all ended up in the kitchen as Everleigh was helping to tidy up she spotted some malteaser's that I told my mom to get her. The look on her face was so cute, she was smiling so bright and ran straight into my arms for a kiss and a hug. I knew they were her favourite and I win extra brownie points.
She thanked me and was about to start them when her mother's harsh voice interrupted again.
"Are you sure you want to eat that? I don't mean to be rude but you have put on some weight and I think you should cut off on sweet and chocolatey things."
The glimpse of happiness that I had brought her was snatched away by a person that is supposed to love her no matter what and that made my wolf mad. The more she talks the more I hate that woman and the more I want to let my wolf take control and rip her to shreds.
Sure Leigh has a little more curves than when she first arrived but I don't mind, she's still as beautiful as the first time we met, maybe more so.
I saw her swallow hard and put the bag of chocolates away. I just stood there in shock and so was my mother. We haven't been in a situation like this. It was so tense. I think Leigh felt it as she left claiming to go check on Ro.
I excused myself too knowing that she needed me right now as I could feel all her emotions running through me as if I were the one feeling them.
I saw her sat on the staircase with Rose in her arms letting small clear tears roll down her face. As we made eye contact she quickly whipped away the tears and gave me a smile as if all was fine. But I knew better.
"You don't have to give me a fake smile babe. I can read right through you." I sat beside her taking both my girls in my arms, kissing them both on the head.
"*sniff* I know but it's a force of habit I guess. I hate being weak in front of people and my mum knows that she hit a nerve calling me fat in front of you." She let another tear leave her eyes but I kissed it away before it could go any further.
"Don't listen to her. She's just plain mean. I love you no matter what you look like. I've seen all of you and I loved every piece of it. Don't beat yourself up with what she thinks. We'll snuggle up in bed and eat them, damn sweets if we want to. " she let out one of my favourite sounds: her laugh. It wasn't very loud but it was there and that's what matters to me. The guys call me whipped and I guess I am. I really love her and she brings the old me back, not the cold me. The one I despise the most because I resemble someone I dislike even more.
"Thanks, Asher. I love you and I'm glad that you are by my side. " she leaned closer to me and I held her tightly squeezing Ro in the middle too.
------
Dinner came along and things couldn't be more awkward. My mom was trying to make a conversation between Leigh and her mom. Sean And I were talking about future shipments and Ro was in her own little world eating away.
Everleigh was hardly eating but you could see that she was forcing her self and that she wasn't enjoying this evening as much as she would have been if her parents weren't have been here.
They weren't even supposed to stay for dinner but my mother found it rude if we didn't ask and they said yes.
All was going sort of fine I guess you could say, right until Everleigh's mom started a very unnecessary conversation.
" So I guess the reason you are getting married Asher is that you felt bad for Everleigh being a single mum and a failure? Not only as a princess but as a mate and queen too. I mean look at her, she didn't even wait to be of age to find her mate that she was already off shagging other mateless wolves and got pregnant in the mist of things. Don't you find that disgraceful?"
She questioned talking another sip of her wine, making Leigh drop her fork with a 'clinc', my mother and I choke on our food and for Sean to shoot her a very mean glare. I guess that isn't a very happy married couple.
Once I composed myself, I took my fiancee's hand and gave it a kiss before sending a glare in her mother's direction.
" I'm marrying this lovely, beautiful, smart and driven woman beside me because I love her. Not out of pity or guilt of any sort. The only failure in this story is me for letting her go when I did and letting the two best things that's ever happened to me slip through my fingers. And I will not stand for you to treat my future wife, my Luna and My Queen with so much disrespect in front of our daughter. I think it's time for you to leave, this is your King ordering you to go." I stood up taking Rose out of her high chair since she was the first to finish eating and took Leigh's hand in mine and took them out of the dining room feeling the power of being King pumping in my veins.
Her mother stomped out of the house and Sean gave us an apology, hugging his daughter goodbye.
Everleigh was in tears once the door closed and while I was putting Ro to bed my mother was taking care of Leigh. She needing a bit of motherly consolation and I knew that my mother already considered her, her daughter.
I carried my angel up to bed and changed her in one of my boxers and hoodies. I pulled her close to me running my hand through her hair until she fell asleep, in my arms where she belongs and if the safest.
