18 - Chapter Eighteen - Leno's Point Of View.
With my due date being less than 48 hours away Diego got much
worse with the hovering. I could understand why but that didn't mean it
was any less annoying.
"Are you okay if I leave for a few moments to speak with Dakota?"
"I'l be fine Diego. Relax and go silly."
"I won't be more than a few moments I promise.â
"Take your time. No rush. "
I knew Diego was worried about leaving me but knew I would be for
the few minutes he would be gone. Looking down at my bump I spoke
softly.
"Listen here little one. Daddy had to go for a few moments but he
won't be too long so I need you to wait till he gets back if you plan on
busting out. Okay. "
Rubbing my stomach I got back little kicks from my sea monkey. I was
so excited to see my sweet baby's face but at the same time completely
terrified. Would Diego and I be ready and able to look after a tiny and
fragile little one. I mean I wasn't completely a newbie when it came to
children. I did volunteer for the daycare but that was only a few hours,
not twenty four seven. I was freaking out. Realising this, I took a few
deep breaths and forced myself to relax. Last thing I needed was Diego
to think something serious had happened. I knew I was in good hands
though for the birth. Being it was our first child there would be a
midwife standing by to assist should anything complicate the birth.
For the most part if both parties were wolves and it was not their first
birth it was a closed thing and no assistance was given. The dominant
mate was taught the first time around how to assist with births.
Domanints in the position of power usually had issues with allowing
people around their mates when in labour.
Diego came home about an hour later. He brought a gift bag.
"This is from Dakota and Felix.
I took the bag, opened it and pulled the stuff out. Inside were very
useful baby items. Like a few soothers and bottles. There was also a
folded up piece of paper that looked like a note. I totally ignored the
note and set the bag on the floor.
"What was it? " Diego asked, coming into the living room from the
kitchen.
"Just baby stuff."
After dinner my back was aching so horribly. Diego helped me up the
stairs and I laid down in the bed. Waves of pain hit my lower back and
hips. It was enough to make me cry.
Diego who was down stairs must have heard me or felt it threw the
bond because he flew up the stairs.
"Are you okay Leno?"
Crying out in pain again made him really worried his face was so
readable.
âI think I'm in labour" I cried out.
Diego paled considerably.
"I should get the midwife..."
He stood there. Then he turned and left, closing the door behind him. I
was grinding my teeth in pain as a wave of contractions came on. Diego
came back and he had the midwife.
Ten hours after I went into full labour. The cry of the baby was the last
thing I heard before I fell asleep.
