The Triplets' Rejected Disabled Mate Chapter 124

Catherine's POV

"You are pregnant!"

The same three words echoed inside my mind, leaving me gasping for air while Colt froze like a statue and Grey's eyes popped out of their sockets.

"Are you for real?" Grey carefully asked, and the doctor chuckled at my mate's choice of words.

"As real as these results," the doctor said, pointing his finger at the report on the clipboard.

Colt slowly took a step toward me and pulled me into his arms. His warmth and scent calmed me.

"Everything will be okay," he whispered.

I nodded, unable to form the proper words. I wasn't sure if I was happy about being pregnant now. Not because I didn't want pups, on the contrary, I loved them, but I think the timing was a bit off.

What if...

I shook my head, clearing the dark thoughts forming in my mind.

Amy was banished from the pack's territory; Ethan had left, according to Grey; and Brian had gone rogue.

The only one left was the wicked mother-in-law, but I guess she will come around when she hears she will become a grandmother soon—or so I hope!

"Can I see my family now?" I asked.

"Everything else looks in order," the doctor said. "Come see me next week so that we can do a proper checkup on the pups' progress."

"Pups?" Grey gasped, wide-eyed.

"Doctor, are you sure they are multiples?" Colt asked.

The doctor nodded, sure of his facts.

"I am not sure how many," the doctor said. "But I did hear more than one heartbeat. I will confirm next week."

With that said, the good old doctor turned to leave.

"Congratulations!" Jimmy said, excitedly as he and my mother entered the room. Jimmy gave high-fives to Colt and Grey, celebrating the news and leaving my mother all confused.

"What's going on?" My mother asked, looking between the three of them.

"Seriously, mom?" Jimmy asked, raising his eyebrows. "You don't smell that?"

"Smell what?" She asked, shaking her head in confusion.

My mother lifted her nose to the air and took a whiff, then scrunched her perfect eyebrows together before she took another.

Her eyes widened at first, followed by a proud smile on her red, full lips.

"Are you?" She asked carefully, seeking my gaze.

"Seems so!" I said.

"Congratulations, mom!" Jimmy grabbed her shoulders and squeezed them. "You are going to be a grandmother soon!"

"A grandmother?" She whispered in disbelief. "I am going to be a grandmother."

She suddenly sat down, shaking her head in disbelief.

"I am too young to be a grandmother," she said, pouting. "I just had Ellie."

"They can play together," Jimmy said enthusiastically, trying hard to distract my mother with happy thoughts.

"And grow up together," Grey added.

"Ellie will never be alone," Colt said, smiling proudly.

Ellie was never planned. She was a surprise, given by the goddess. The huge age gap never bothered anyone until today.

"You are right," my mother finally said, getting over her shock and turning her attention toward me. "I am happy for you, Kate. I think you would be a great mother to your pups."

"Thank you," I said. My gaze moved toward the boys; they were both silently smiling as if they had just won the biggest contest in the world. They are going to be great and proud fathers.

"Boys!" I called. "Do you mind taking me to get dressed, please?"

Grey nodded and lifted me from the bed.

"We'll see you down the stairs," I called as we exited.

We found Sam exiting his room when we entered the quarters. His hair was wet, and he had a change of clothes, but what caught my attention was the red mark on the side of his face; it looked like a battle wound.

Was he in some kind of fight?

"Kate!" He yelled as he saw me. "I was on my way up to the infirmary to go check up on you."

"No need," I said. "The doctor says everything is in order!"

Grey raised an eyebrow, waiting for me to break the news.

"And?" Sam asked, getting suspicious. He must be reading my emotions.

Grey carried me to my room and carefully sat me down on the bed. Sam followed after us.

"And?" Sam repeated, crossing his arms around his chest and pinning his gaze on me.

I suddenly felt self-conscious. How do I tell Sam that I am pregnant?

The doctor broke the news to us. I wasn't even sure how Sam would react when hearing the news.

"Where have you disappeared too?" I asked instead, eyeing his change of clothes and changing the subject altogether.

Sam gave me a cold glare, then pushed himself away from the door frame.

"I made sure Amy wouldn't bother us again," he said icily.

I could hear the hidden warning in his words, and a cold feeling ran down my spine.

Did he? I swallowed at the thought. Did he kill Amy?

"Did you escort Amy from the pack territory?" I carefully asked.

Grey flinched, and his relaxed posture suddenly stiffened.

Grey slowly moved his head, trying hard not to make any sudden movements.

Did something happen?

Were they discussing something?

Were they hiding something from me?

"Something like that," Sam said, his eyes turning colder as they moved to Grey.

Something must have happened.

"What are you two discussing?" I chirped.

Grey jumped out of fright, looking very guilty, but Sam's gaze stayed cold.

"Nothing," Grey said nervously, giving Sam a quick warning glare and closing one of the drawers.

"I don't believe..."

"Are you going to give Sam the exciting news?" Grey asked, cutting me off.

"More secrets?" Sam said, narrowing his eyes at Grey. "Hopefully this is better news than earlier today!"

"It is," Grey said. "You will like it!"

Why the hell was Grey so worried?

Sam's attention slowly shifted to me, and he raised taunting eyebrows, waiting for me to tell him.

I quietly looked at Sam. His body posture and language were way different from those of the wolf I fell in love with. It had changed so much that it reminded me of Colt's cold posture.

Sam could easily challenge Colt for the Alpha position, and he might even win...

"So?" Sam asked, "are you going to let me into your little secret?"

I sighed and looked at Grey.

"Why don't you tell him?" I asked Grey.

"Because it will be better if he hears the news from you!" Grey mumbled under his breath without looking at me.

Was he deliberately doing this?

Was he scared of Sam and his reaction?

My gaze moved back to Sam, narrowing my eyes.

What would Sam's reaction be upon hearing the news?
