3 months later
Willow POV
These last few months have been wonderful. We stayed at the safe house for three weeks. We then moved into this beautiful apartment in Billings Montana. It is an gorgeous modern style apartment with an open floor plan. It has a ton of natural lighting and white walls. The living room has large windows that goes from the ceiling to the floor. It has beautiful view of the city. It's three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom is spacious and the bathroom is something out of a magazine. The other two bedrooms are a jack and Jill.
Greyson had me move into the master bedroom. I didn't want to accept initial but he insisted. I was also happy that the apartment came fully furnished. It had all black furniture and appliances. I could never have ever dreamed I would be living like this.
I started working at an hotel nearby as a chef. The people there are really nice and have been very welcoming.
Only problem I seem to have is that in these last few weeks I have been sick. I haven't wanted to tell Greyson because I don't want him to worry. He has been keeping in contact with a few people to see if anyone is searching for us. Greyson found that they have been busy with the vampire's. It seems the vampires had killed a large group of werewolves that had left their pack lands. The wolves was celebrating two mates finding each other. They were all slaughtered in a club. Over 100 killed. I am not sure of the pack name but it was a southern pack. Now all the packs are out for blood. So the Alpha King is busy planning for war.
This morning Greyson is scouting for any vampires in the area. He wants to be sure this place is safe for us. He says vampires can control the mind and are animalistic bloodthirsty creatures. They scare me and I would never want to run into one.
As I get up to prepare for my shift I begin to feel nauseous. I run for the toilet and empty the contents of my stomach. I have had an upset stomach for the past month in a half. I had thought it was because I have been eating more than I normally have in the past. I had gained weight pretty quickly. Now I am starting to think I have a stomach bug. Without a wolf I am basically a human.
Once I finish I go over to the sink and clean my face.
"Willow what's wrong are you okay?" Greyson ask as he knocks on the bathroom door.
I press a cold wash cloth to my face as walk to the door.
"I'm okay I think I have a stomach bug. It should pass though" I tell as I open the door.
"Are you sure? You look a little pale how long have you been sick?" He ask as he looks at me worriedly.
I take a look at him and he looks like he ran home. His shirt is a bit disheveled and his hair is messy.
"It's probably been a few weeks. Are you okay though you look like you ran here." I say as I take in his whole appearance.
"A few weeks?! How did I miss it? You know until you get you wolf you have an immunity of a human. My wolf felt that something was wrong so we rushed home." He says as he takes the cloth from me to look at me better. "Eros and I think you should go see a doctor."
"No I will be okay. I think it will past soon." I say as I turn around to go brush my teeth. I get to the sink and grab my toothbrush and toothpaste. As I start to brush I see Greyson looking at me worried in the mirror.
"I would feel better if you would just get seen just to be sure. Please we can go to the clinic a few blocks from here." He says as runs his fingers through his hair. "I just want you to be safe. I don't think I could handle it if something happened to you."
Feeling guilty I nod my head in agreement. He smiles at me satisfied with my answer. He leaves so I can finish getting ready.
I have never been to the doctor so I am not sure what to expect. I turn on the shower as I begin to undress.
I love this shower. The rainfall shower head gives the best pressure. It helps me to relax and get through the stress of my past.
Since coming here I don't have my nightmares as much. I have also not been afraid to be alone in my thoughts. Being free as helped to free me from my mental state as well. My mother would be so happy about how well I am living.
I smile to myself as wash my hair. I quickly finish in the shower. I only have a couple hours until my shift starts so I hurry to get dress.
Once getting out I wrap a towel around my body and hair. I head to the bathroom door. I go over to my dresser to find something to wear.
The hotel doesn't require us to wear a uniform. We just all wear a jacket and apron while cooking. I decide on some black skinny jeans and and white off the shoulder t-shirt. It is always hot in the kitchen so I try to not wear sleeves.
I go back to the bathroom to do my hair. I do not know how to style my hair very well so I normally do a messy bun. With all these curls I don't know how else to style it. After pulling it into a bun I look at myself in the mirror. Satisfied with my look I smile and head out to the living room.
"I have made you an appointment it will be in 15 minutes. It should go fast so you will not have to wait and can get to work on time." Greyson says as I come out of my room.
"Okay sounds good I'm ready to go" I say as I walk over to him.
He nods and head towards the door. I follow him out and towards the stairs down. Our apartment complex has four floors we live on the second floor. Greyson felt it was the safest. We also have an fire escape that is blocked from the front so no one can come up. We sometimes run escape drills for in case anything happens. We also have a rally point if we get separated. It may seem excessive but I trust Greyson to know what is best.
I smile as we walk along the street thinking about how good Greyson has been to me. He has taken great care of me. I am not sure why he does. I don't think he is my mate it seems more like a big brother or father type of bond. We have become close and as our bond seems to grow and become stronger I feel more connected to him. I know I could trust him with my life.
I grab Greyson's hand as the clinic comes into view. I don't know why getting seen is making me so nervous. I guess I just don't want bad news.
Greyson squeezes my hand giving me a reassuring smile as we go to walk in. I take a deep breath and follow him in.
We go to sit in the waiting area. I sit on a chair as Greyson heads to the receptionist to check in. I look around at the white walls. I see a fish tank in the corner near the window. I look at multicolored fish amazed. They are so pretty. It helps me relax a bit.
"They said the doctor will be with us soon. Are you feeling okay?" Greyson ask as he take a seat next to me.
I turn to him and smile. "I am fine. Those fish are very beautiful." I say as I point to the fish tank.
"Ms. James the doctor is ready to see you." The nurse says as she comes around the corner.
Greyson and I stand together. James is the last name Greyson gave me since I didn't know my own. We follow the nurse to a back room.
"Just take a sit and the doctor will see you soon." She says as she smiles at us.
I walk in and sit down on the bed. Greyson sits in the chair across from me. The nurse walking into the room after us.
"Before the doctor gets here I have a few questions for you." She says as she goes to the sink to wash her hands.
I give a panic look to Greyson. I don't know what to say. What if I say the wrong thing and she realizes we aren't human. Greyson looks at me 'it will be okay' he mouths to me.
"How old are you?" The nurse ask as she looks at her clipboard.
"I am 15" I say trying to calm down.
"Okay could you tell me about what is all going on with you?" She asks as she writes down my age.
"I just think I have a stomach bug. I have been nauseous and throwing up for about 6-8 weeks now."
Greyson looks at me guilty. I feel bad I don't want him to think he did something wrong.
"Other than that I have felt very heathy." I say quickly hoping it will make him feel better.
"Okay well when was your last menstrual cycle?" She ask as she looks up at me. I look at her confused.
"She hasn't had one yet." Greyson says quickly. I look at Greyson wondering how he knew what to say.
"Well that's a little odd. Well maybe you are just a late bloomer. We will speak to the doctor about that." She says as she makes a note on her clipboard. "Okay well Ms. James could you pee in this cup. We do this for all our female patients with stomach issues."
I get up and take the cup from her. I go to the bathroom that is attached in the back. I quickly pee in the cup. I bring the cup back to the nurse. She takes the cup and leaves the room.
"What is a menstrual cycle?" I ask Greyson once the nurse leaves.
"It is a humans heat cycle. They start it in their adolescence unlike wolves who start after they meet their mate." Greyson explains.
I nod my head in understanding. After awhile the nurse comes back.
"Well the doctor also wants to get some blood for some tests." She says as she begins to get thing out of the cabinets.
I get scared and look over at Greyson. How do they get my blood. Will they harm me?
"My sister is afraid of needles can I sit with her?" Greyson ask as he stand up.
The nurse nods as she comes over with a lot of stuff.
"Willow just focus on me don't look at what she is doing." Greyson says as he grabs my hand.
I take a deep breathe and look into Greyson eyes. His eyes always seem to calm me down. They are the purest blue. Looking into them is like looking into the sky on a clear day.
"All done. The doctor will be back with the results shortly." The nurse says as she packs up and leave.
I look over surprised and see I have a bandaid on.
"That was easy." I say to myself looking at my arm.
Greyson squeezes my hand before he goes and sit down.
About 15 minutes later the doctor comes in. He comes and takes my vitals as he calls them. After he goes and sits in his stool as he looks at the clipboard the nurse had.
"Well I don't know how to say this. But it seems Ms. James you are pregnant."
