The Alpha's Plus Size Urban Human Mate Chapter 42
The labor part 2
Makahi’s POV:
I felt like I got punched in the heart and gut at hearing that she was willing to end her life to save our pups and not be mated to anyone but me. I was so shocked by her words that it felt like I couldn’t breathe. Had she really been willing to mate with Zane in order to make sure our pups were safely with me? She was planning to kill herself if I hadn’t found her in time. Just the thought of that almost brought me to my knees how could I have been such a fool. I was so deep into my grief that I didn’t see when Ji’lahni had approached me until her delicious scent brought me back to the present. Looking down at her beautiful, tired eyes she still sported the bruise from Zane hitting her, I really want to kill him for what he did to her, and I promise, I will kill him. “Can you walk me back to my room?” She asked extending her hand out to me. I wanted to pick her up into my arms and never let her go but I know I can’t. “Ye… Yees.” I nodded like a little schoolboy and grabbed her hand after Montego elbowed me.
I instantly felt the electrifying jolt that I felt the first time I touched her. How is any of this possible? With Summer, I felt our bond formed from the moment I marked her. But it wasn’t as strong as when I’m touching Ji’lahni. My heart’s racing and Maka is wanting to take control and mark her even though Summer is wearing our mark. I pushed him back to my subconscious and put up a mental barrier which he fought against. I went to stand beside her and put my arms around her for support and it made Maka calmed down when she leaned into our embrace, he was loving the closeness. The walk back to the room was done quietly. Once we entered, the doc was behind a makeshift desk in the corner. I assume he plans on staying in here as much as possible.
“Oh, hello Alpha. I didn’t know you were here. I’m glad you’re back Lahni I was just about to come get you so I can check on you and the pups.” The doc said getting up coming towards us about to help Ji’lahni onto the bed, but I quickly lifted her into my arms and placed her on the bed gently, the doc pulled a chair up so I could sit in while he examined her. He pulled a big machine up beside the bed and was reaching for her gown, but he quickly stopped looking at me when he heard a small growl. I quickly pushed Maka back and nodded my head to doc and he covered her legs before exposing her round belly. It was surreal looking at the place where my pups grew. Her belly was so round it looked like if you poked it, it would pop. I only got to touch her belly briefly in the tunnels. But that was nothing compared to what I’m seeing now. I felt the jolt of Ji’lahni’s touch, and I looked down to see she was holding my hands looking into her eyes she placed my hand on the top part of her belly while the doc squirted some blue gel on the lower part of her stomach.
The babies were moving around like crazy, and I have never been as happy as I am now that I actually got to be a part of all this. We both turned to the machine that the doc pulled over, we heard the loud strong heartbeats of our pups. The sound filled me with so much emotion that I felt as if my heart would burst and Maka was prancing around in my head like a proud papa wolf. Looking at the screen I could see both pups, one looks like they’re sucking their finger while the other looks like they are looking at the wand. The doc had pressed against her belly, which must have made them mad, because Ji’lahni screamed as another contraction hit. She was screaming and squeezing my hand which surprisingly hurt a little. The doc removed the wand and wiped the Lubricant off her belly moving away to make notes. Glancing at her exposed belly the babies were moving so much it look like they were trying to come out. The movements had her belly misshapen. Remembering that she said I was able to calm them when we were in the tunnels. Although I haven’t been able to mind link them after I marked Summer, I could try doing it verbally using my aura maybe they will recognize my voice. It was worth a shot because anything is better than watching her suffer.
“Hey papa’s here now I need you to behave for momma she’s in pain. I can’t wait to me you my little pups.” I said in a whisper tone rubbing her belly as I gave the smallest push of my aura, hopefully they recognize it was me. I smiled when I heard Ji’lahni sigh in relief and her face lost the frown of pain. “Thank you.” She whispered. “My pleasure sweetheart. Get some sleep.” I said leaning in to kiss her forehead. “Wow Alpha this is the most relaxed I have ever seen when any she-wolf during labor. I think it has something to do with your touch. I want to do, and experiment get in next to miss Lahni, I want to see what happens during her next few contractions for now I’ll let her rest as long as possible.” The doc said still looking at her vital sheet.
He didn’t have to ask me twice. I was easing in next to her on the bed it was the world’s shortest bed, and my body was twisted unusually, and I was sure that I would need a chiropractor after this. But I would stay in this spot for days if it meant being close and touching Ji’lahni like this. Maka was purring like a damn cat he was so calm and at peace. Ji’lahni turn slightly giving me a little more room looking at me sleepily. “You stayed. Please stay with me.” She sighed snuggling into me I wrapped her into my arms rubbing her belly gently, so the pups know I’m still here. “I’m not going anywhere sweetheart. Now get some rest I’ll be here when you wake up. Sighing contently, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep for the first time since Ji’lahni was taken from my mom’s house.
I was instantly jolted awake when I felt Ji’lahni groaning, my eyes snapped open to see the Doc looking at the paper that was printing out of the machine. “Is Ji’lahni and the pups, OK? I asked. “They’re doing great it seems like your closeness calms the pups and lessening the pain of her contractions. Another thing that doesn’t happen to she wolves during labor. I hate to wake her up, but I need to check her progression. You can step outside if you can’t handle me checking her.” The Doc said looking at me nervously. “We’re fine Doc go ahead and check her.” I responded as I caressed her belly looking at her face relaxed again. “You need to wake up babe so the Doc can check on you and the pups.” Ji’lahni groaned opening her eyes to look directly at me and smiled briefly. The Doc cleared his throat. Groaning Ji’lahni turned so the Doc could check her. “Doc remember, what I told you earlier about the next time you dig in my cookie jar.” Ji’lahni said then smiled when she saw the doc’s head shoot up looking at her then me. I smiled.
“Should I ask why you said that and what is a cookie jar.” I asked playfully. “No need you have progressed pretty far since the last time. You’re now 7 Centimeters dilated both pups have moved in the correct position, so it won’t be long now.” The Doc said taking off his gloves. “Thank God it’s about time I didn’t know how much more of this I could take. Can you give us a minute Doc we need to talk before we get this party started. Ji’lahni asked as she got comfortable again and placing my hands back on her belly and instantly sighed as the babies’ movement ceased almost instantly. I was slightly shaken by her request because I know what discussion she was talking about. I’m afraid of what she might say or what she might do, will she say she’s leaving me. Shaking my head mated or not I can’t let her leave me. It for sure would drive Maka insane. “Hey not just me you know you would too.” Maka grunted. He’s right but I won’t tell him that. “You do know I can hear your thoughts, right?” Maka said with a laugh.
“So, is it true what they say that you’re married or mated to Summer, And she’s pregnant with your baby?” Ji’lahni asked in confirmation only. I nodded unable to speak the words aloud. She sighed turned her head away from me taking deep breaths. I looked at the monitor it wasn’t a contraction that had her breathing hard. It was me confirming what she already knew. Turning back to me with watery eyes that she quickly tried to blink away. “Look I understand I mean nothing to you and I’m sure you regret everything that has happened I mean we didn’t actually finish the act of sex I don’t even think anyone counts going halfway as sex, but pre cum is evil.” She said hurriedly as if to get it all out in one go but failed and she took another deep breath.
“I can’t say that finding out you mated that Bitc.. I mean Summer after everything she’s done to my family, my babies and me. I felt betrayed, hurt, and anger that you would do that to me. But I realize that it was crazy to feel that way when the whole reason we came here was to plan your wedding and I was wrong to even allow anything to happen between us. For that I would have apologized to your wife, but no matter what I did or didn’t do what she did crossed a line that I can’t forgive. You didn’t promise me anything we were never together. I guess I saw something that wasn’t there, and that is on me. Everything from your mother’s house, here at the clinic, when you came to rescue us the first time, I thought I saw something in your eyes that I guess wasn’t there, just like in the tunnels. I see and understand now it can never happen again. But understand your mate or wife robbed me of a chance to come to terms with becoming a mother for the first time. I didn’t get to go shopping for baby things or even put together a nursery or anything. At first, I admit that I felt you and your wife robbed my babies at the chance to grow up with both their parents in a loving home together as a family, but I was wrong.” She choked out with tears escaping her eyes now. Wiping her tears away.
“But with all that, I need you to understand I will never keep our babies away from you. But also understand my children will never be allowed to be anywhere near your wife. That’s something I will never be OK with. I will try my best to be civil with you I’m sure that with time my feelings for you will no longer affect me, the need I have for you and the electric jolt I feel every time we touch, I hope will also go away.” She finished still wiping every tear that fell. Her words felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest. Maka howled in sorrow at her words she hopes our bond goes away. How can I tell her that she wasn’t a mistake I don’t regret anything, and I want to be with her. I just need time. But I can’t say that, when I don’t even know if I will ever to break my bond with Summer, but I will do everything I can to find out no matter how long it takes. Looking at her belly where my pups grew then glancing at her.
“Ji’lahni I’m so sorry I never meant for any of this to happen. I would be lying if I say I didn’t play a part in any of this after all it does take two, right? When I met you, you knocked my world off its axis, and I was confused about my reaction to you, and I realized too late that I had feelings for you. These weeks without you drove me crazy not knowing if our pups were OK or even if you were OK. Please believe me I never wanted us to end up like this those months that you were gone were pure hell for me. I had no plans to mark Summer in those tunnels. But when she said she was pregnant the only thing I thought about was the pup she carried. I had to make a decision and I couldn’t let her die if there was a chance the pup was mine. I don’t know how all this will end. But I don’t want you to give up on me baby please don’t give up on me on us please baby please.” I begged while I allowed the tears to fall leaning my forehead against hers, I didn’t mean that last part, but I seem to not be able to stop myself.
