The information shocked Alex, who hadn't heard of it before. "But I have never heard anything about my mother being too weak to carry a baby. On the contrary, the stories I heard spoke of how she was a strong woman and Luna. She even gave birth to my sister after me."
What are the odds that his mother, one of the strongest, had problems giving birth, not to talk about his Malia, who was weak when the babies were still so little?
Old man Eliot didn't want to say it, but he had to. The Alpha's mother, Luna Trinidad, had problems giving birth too. "When your mother's pregnancy clocked seven months, her body started to weaken, and it worsened as the pregnancy grew. It was such a trying time making everyone think she wouldn't make it. The Alpha even wanted to remove the pregnancy, to which the Luna objected. doctor Henry also said that it was dangerous since the fetus had grown"
The more Alex listened, the more he became shocked. How bad was it that he almost killed his mother and made his father suggest termination? "But I saw her when she was pregnant with my sister; she had a normal pregnancy."
"It was that way with your sister because she wasn't as strong a baby like you, who was the Alpha next in line. doctor Henry had even suggested inducing the pregnancy so that she could give birth earlier than planned, but the Luna refused" Old man spoke with so much pride and respect for the former Luna
"Why would she refuse doctor Henry's suggestion? Wasn't she in so much pain? What was wrong with his mother
"I believe she would have jumped at any opportunity to reduce her pain if it didn't include hurting you in the process. Inducing the pregnancy early would have meant giving birth to a baby with health complications, and Luna wasn't having any of it. She was willing to go through all that pain, just as long as you would turn out to be just as you are now."
Old man Eliot went close to the Alpha, whose eyes had turned red. He held him by the should as a form of comfort. "I understand why doctor Henry suggested that Luna sleep for a month; it could be to avoid the possible complications later on. Maybe even to prevent her from experiencing what your mother did"
"You think so?" Alex wasn't sure anymore. The joy that had hugged him earlier about the babies felt heavy, and he was scared at the same time too.
"I am not so sure, but I believe so. If your mother could give you to us, I believe the Luna would do it too" old man Eliot tried to comfort the Alpha, and it worked for some time.
When old man Eliot left, Alex picked up the cup of coffee served a few minutes back to take a sip, only to find that it was already cold. He put the cup down with a frown. He picked up his phone to call Malia but realized he didn't have her number.
After listening to his mother's story, he got scared for Malia and started missing her. He then decided to call Dawson.
Dawson was watering the flowers when he felt his phone vibrate. He checked to see who was calling and found that it was the Alpha.
"Hello, Alpha," Dawson answered.
They spoke for a few minutes, and Dawson took the phone to Malia per Apha's instructions.
When Dawson got into the main house, he didn't see Malia in the main lounge but heard a sound coming from the kitchen, the sound coming from the kitchen. So he went there and found her cooking.
His presence startled Malia, who became guilty. She didn't know if it was alright for her to be in the kitchen without the owner's permission.
"I am sorry for entering the kitchen with Mr. Ford's permission" She tried to apologize, but Dawson only smiled. But, of course, she can be in the kitchen. She was the Luna and the boss if the Alpha wasn't around.
"It's ok; you can come and go through the kitchen as much as you want," Answered Dawson.
His response made Malia smile, and she said thank you. "Is there something that you needed me to do for you?" She wondered why he was looking for her
"Not me, but Mr. Ford would like to speak with you," Dawson said as he handed her the phone. "He is on; answer the phone. I will be on the other side; place the phone on the kitchen counter once you are done, and I will find it later" He then left her to speak privately.
"Ok, Mr. Dawson"
"Hello, Mr. Ford" She spoke through the phone
"Baby girl," Came Alex's voice
Being called a baby girl by Alex made Malia smile and go all red. It was all cute, and it made her feel giddy.
"Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Ford?"
"How are you doing today? Did you sleep well?" Alex was worried and wanted to know if she was experiencing any discomfort.
"I am fine, sir, and yes, I slept well. And you, sir, did you sleep well?
"Of course, Malia, I slept well. Thank you for asking. So what are you doing in the kitchen?" He also wanted to know what she was doing in the kitchen, especially after hearing her apologize to Dawson.
