Lily’s pov I’ve been hanging back at the packhouse while Osiris goes through the finances with Neron before we leave. After taking a short nap I went down and talk to Jean. She had changed a lot since my first visit here, she seems less tense and scared. She has really opened up to me how it has been living under Alpha Kendrick and how everything has changed for them. “My kids are so much happier right now. Roman and Anne are even thinking about going to college. Anne really wants to study to become the pack doctor.” I smiled “that is wonderful. I am so happy for you.” Jean looked down at my stomach “I can’t believe it has been so long since I carried them in my belly. Time goes so fast.” She stopped and looked sad “I don’t want to scare you, but I know you’re close to the point where you won’t be able to shift. You should really try to get your wolf out as much as possible. It can be really frustrating for you both not being able to shift.” I was feeling bad for Ar

Lily’s pov Osiris had asked, well demanded that Jara and Emma stay at the packhouse with me. Meadow was still staying at the packhouse and Mia had to work, so she couldn’t join Riker. So we had a packhouse filled with girls. After dinner Emma surprised us all with someone who came by to give us massages, face masks and mani’s and pedi’s. “You need to relax more” Emma said, the baby is almost coming and then you won’t be able to have much time for yourself. I loved how Emma thought of this, especially the special pregnancy massage she got for me. My lower back had been killing me and it felt so good to have someone apply pressure there. “During labor your mate can do something similar to ease your contractions” the massagist said. I just nodded, it was feeling so good and I was honestly scared I would start moaning if I opened my mouth. When she was finished massaging my back there was a knock on the door. “Did you invite someone else?” I said as I walked to the door

Lily’s pov I was so happy Osiris got here in time, I was worried he would miss the birth of our baby. I had been high on whatever drug the doctor had given me and I didn’t mindlink Osiris to keep him informed. I was also too worried about the baby’s safety to think about anyone else. It was so strange, suddenly the most important thing in live was this tiny little human. Who we still hadn’t found a name for. I thought once we met him I would know, but looking at him with all the wires on made it hard to concentrate on anything else. My poor baby, he should have still been inside my belly if it wasn’t for that evil Alpha. What in Goddess name was he doing here anyway? Did he really think I would just hand him Meadow?! Osiris was sleeping, but I couldn’t. I was staring at our baby sleeping in his crib. I wish I could hold him all day, but the doctor explained he needed to rest. Besides I needed to pump every few hours if I wanted to give him something to drink

Lily’s pov I’ve been trying to get Asher to drink on his own, with help from the nurse. It’s going better each time and the doctor believes that if he doesn’t need the feeding tube anymore he could come home this week. I’ve been with Asher in the hospital for almost two weeks now, Osiris comes by as often as he can. This isn’t how I envisioned the first two weeks of my baby’s life would be. I thought I would get to take him home with me and now I have to ask permission from the doctor or nurse to hold him. I know they’re doing their best and they know better than me, but once Asher is home I am taking him everywhere with me in a sling. I don’t want that baby out of my sight. “Are you turning into Osiris?” Arya joked. “I might, I am understanding his behavior much better now. I always felt he was exaggerating, but right now I would do anything to make sure Asher was safe.” Osiris entered the room and saw me nursing Asher. He kissed the top of my head and then

Lily’s pov “Hi Alpha Gabriel. Osiris just mindlinked me to check if everything is okay. Should I be worried? Is the pack under attack?” Alpha Gabriel looked nervous “it might be.” I was getting nervous now, but I was holding Asher in a sling around me and didn’t want to send out any negative vibes his way. I don’t know if baby’s work that way, but I knew baby’s are sensitive. Who knew what he could pick up on. Alpha Gabriel looked at me again and his soldiers came into the packhouse “This will soon be over.” I didn’t know what Alpha Gabriel was talking about “what do you mean?: Alpha Gabriel pointed to the sofa in the living room “just sit down for a bit. Don’t worry.” Telling me to not worry only makes me worry more, but I knew I wouldn’t get anything useful out of Alpha Gabriel right now so I mindlinked Riker. “Riker are you in your office? Alpha Gabriel is here and he is acting really weird. Saying that everything would be fine if Osiris just does what he is aske
