Athena POV


I woke up the next morning back in bed with the smell of breakfast. The smell of bacon and eggs filtered through the house. I was hungry, but still wanted to see my dad more than I wanted to eat. I texted my dad to see how he was but got nothing and that was very unlike him. A few minutes went by and Adam walked in with bacon, eggs, and milk. I just couldn't eat it.


I was too worried about my dad. Adam was in the kitchen cleaning up after making breakfast and I moved my breakfast aside, as hungry as I was I just couldn't stand to eat. I walked up behind Adam wrapping my arms around his waist. He gently put his hands on top of mine. He turned around and grabbed both sides of my face and gently kissed me. " Honey I know you are worried about your dad, but even still you cannot be up and walking around unless its to go to the bathroom and to shower/ bathe." He said softly.


He knew exactly how I felt and why I couldn't eat, I was worried and scared. One thing you should know is when you are mated not only can you feel your mates emotions, but you can feel their strength and powers if they have another part to them, such as magic like I do. My mate knew exactly what I was thinking and feeling. He lifted up my chin and all I did was close my eyes and cry as if the worst had already happened. I waited for him to tell me my father was dead, but he didn't. Instead he took a deep breath and finally said "Your dad is alive, we found him in time." said Adam.


Until he told me otherwise all I felt was an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. Even when Adam began to tell me about the details all I could do was look down. "He is still at the hospital and unfortunately will be there for a little while. They were able to help him and remove all the silver from his body. Some of his wounds needed stitches in order for him to heal, but he will be ok. I already went to the hospital and checked on him." said Adam.


I felt my body relax within a matter of seconds when Adam told me my dad had a great chance of survival now, especially since all the silver was removed. I was so happy to know that he was alive, and that was the greatest relief of all. Not too long after that I felt butterflies in my belly while I took a shower and changed my clothes. I knew I was supposed to have an appointment today so I decided on a pair of leggings with a red and black dress. For some reason I felt bigger as I put my clothes on. My appointment was not until about 12:30, so I decided to lay on the couch.


I guess I was so tired I fell asleep because when I woke up a couple hours later Dr. Prin was coming into the house with Beta Joe, and a nurse I hadn't met yet. They helped get everything set up for me and both men stood outside. Just as we were ready to do the ultrasound in Adam came. "Hi Dr. Prin, is it visit time already? I thought it wasn't till Tomorrow...." Said Adam in a puzzled tone. " Yes, sorry for not calling.


Things have been crazy at the hospital. I ended up being able to come today, and Tomorrow was going to be a bust so I called Beta Joe last minute to help bring everything to you. I figured this way would be a lot easier for all of us this way. I'm so sorry I didn't call." said Dr. Pin sincerely. It's fine Dr. Prin, we know how it is, my father got admitted to the hospital last night and I have no idea how bed it is. " Well, let's focus on you and baby, and then I can go get some updates on him and come back later tonight to let you know and Ill bring dinner." Said Dr. Prin.


Last I heard he had flat lined twice, but they were able to revive him, they gave him fluids, and are currently giving him blood. He had a lot of silver in his blood and you were able to dilute it in his blood and he has been much more stable since then. Like I said I will get more of an update and I'll call you tonight and give more updates. I can even see about arranging a visit if you would like?" asked Dr. Prin. Thank you Dr. Prin you have no idea what that means to us. She Smiled and pointed to my belly and I lifted my dress and rolled my leggings down to the top of my hip bones.


We got a great reading of the baby. We confirmed it was a girl. She grew and was at 16 Weeks. In just a matter of days I went from 14 weeks to 16 Weeks. Hell that's a good jump from what I was 3 days ago. I was so excited when she told me the baby looked better and better each time.


She gave us the new photos of her and we already had a name for her. After Dr. Prin left and I cleaned my belly off from the jelly and readjusted my clothes, I turned on a t.v. show. Before I knew it I was asleep again, and felt a pillow being placed under my head, and my legs lifted up and put on a lap. Soon I felt a blanket being placed over me I dozed back out, and a rough hand on mine, rubbing his thumb on my hand. I fell asleep deeper after a few minutes. When I woke up a few hours late it was 4 pm, and there was a note left for me on the side table.


Dear Athena,


I went to check on your dad and to make an appointment for you to be able to come see him. He is stable still and healing much better. Dr. Prin will keep him for a few more days after he wakes up and is more responsive. I will be home as soon as I finish signing some paperwork at the office. If you need anything my Beta will be in the living room with you. Please stick to bed rest as much as possible. I love you so much honey, and I will see you soon.

xoxoxoxoxoxox - Love Adam




I sat their reading the letter crying just as Beta Joe came back in from being out side for a few seconds. "My Luna are you ok?" said Beta Joe. Oh Beta Joe I'm just an emotional wreck I'll be ok. Oh I am so sorry, I am really not use to having anyone other than my dad take care of me since I was about 6. I am sorry I did not answer right away, so I am just not used to having anyone ask anything about me except my dad. I watched as his eyes glazed over just as I finished talking.


Several minutes later he looked back at me with his normal eyes. "Alpha Adam said he felt you were upset, he is wrapping things up to come get you and take you to see your dad. Is there anything else I can do to help?" asked Beta Joe. No I softly whispered, I just wish mom could be here, and dad not be hospitalized. I miss my mother, if it weren't for photos I never would have remembered her. I curled my legs up to my chest, and Beta Joe swooped me up off the Couch.


It completely took me off guard. I was not expecting to be swooped off my feet by him especially since he was the beta. He was built like Adam, but a couple inches shorter. He carried me out to the truck which I did not even realize was back till he brought me out the door. The guys stared at each other and knew I had not eaten so Beta Joe offered to make dinner for all three of us when we came back. "Honey I am sorry that I will not be able to stay with you. I did however bring you some of your favorite ice cream and a huge orange.


I am sorry honey I will be back as soon as possible. I shouldn't be gone for no more than an hour. This is really important and if you need me you can always text me or mind link with me. Please eat though you really do need the energy. Beta Joe will stay with you while I am gone and I should be done in an hour. No later that an hour and a half.


I love you tons and I will finish up as soon as possible. I was happy to see him even if it was only for the duration of the ride to the hospital. I dug into my ice cream and my orange taking bites of each of them as Beta Joe got me a wheel chair and helped me out of the truck to the wheel chair. For dinner I decided on a chicken salad, and the boys agreed as I mind linked them about it since Dr. Prin was unable to join us for dinner. I was so happy to see my dad, and while I was in his room he woke up. All it took was me touching his hand.


My hand of course was cold from my ice cream that I had just finished a few minutes ago. Beta Joe pulled the cord and ran several nurses and Dr. Prin. They wheeled me and Beta Joe out of the room just long enough to get my dad taken care of. With me being pregnant and everything else that was going on she did not want me to be stressed out more than I already had been. It was nothing like I had felt before it hurt so much I dropped my bowl and it shattered on the floor making me jump even more. I got to go back in and I was so happy to see him awake with no tube down his throat, but he had the oxygen tubes for his nose now instead.


Dr. Prin okay-ed us to go back in and we were only allowed to stay until Adam was done with his Alpha duties. Unfortunately Adam mind linked me that the truck had been dropped back off at the hospital and he was stuck at the office for longer than he wanted to be. So of course when my hour was up I kissed my dads forehead and with Dr. Prin's ok I could come back tomorrow for 1 hour until she said otherwise. On the way out of the hospital I let Beta Joe know that Adam had brought back the truck for us. When we got out the sun had been setting and I was ready to sleep a little. Thankfully Beta Joe gently picked me up and put me back in the truck.


He was still tall enough he had no problem putting me in the truck he was like 6 foot tall even and Adam was like 6 foot 3 inches maybe 6 foot 5 inches tall. When we got home I laid on the couch cuddling up in my make shift bed for the day falling asleep while Joe started chicken salad sandwiches. When I started to wake up a couple hours later Adam had let Joe know that he was on the way home. I began to feel some strange pain in my belly and it hurt so much. I started to make sounds without even realizing what I was doing. Beta Joe heard me and he didn't hesitate he just swept me up quickly running out the door down the steps with my face buried into his shoulder as I sobbed into his shoulder from the pain.


Before I knew it I caught a glimpse of a wolf chasing us as we ran to the hospital. He sat me down on the table as my body was writhing in pain. All I could do was cry. I saw Adam running naked after me as they brought me into an exam room. One of the doctors had extra clothes for him and he quickly changed into them and came to hold my hand. Dr. Prin quickly began scanning the baby and it shocked us all when she jumped from 16 week measurements and was now measuring at 24 weeks.


No wonder I was in excruciating pain. My baby had grown so fast in one day and we had no clue why. At the rate she was jumping, I had to stay on bed rest with the exception of the bathroom and shower or baths even more so. Unfortunately for tonight though, I had to stay for strict observations. My dad was up and walking around in the hallway doing good so of course I calmed down a lot being able to see that. Dr. Prin, can my dad come in here with us please, this is his first grandchild and I really want him to see her on the ultrasound, please? I begged.


Adam left and I saw them walking back in with huge grins. She began doing the scans again and my dad held my other hand as he cried being able to see her move around on the monitor for the first time. Once we were done she told us I have most likely a month to a and my dad and I could share a room if I wanted. We would get released together for sure, and we would have a curtain in-between the room so we can also have some privacy as needed. I decided to bunk with my dad, because even in his weakest hour he would still fight for me, and if I had any problems then he could call the nurse a lot easier than me.
