“What are you going to tell the OBGYN?”
“Don’t worry about that Luna. Patients transfer doctors all the time, so it will be routine. Though I am certain the human doctor won’t be very happy about it, most never are when they lose a patient,” he said making a silly face that made me giggle. “Dr. Andrews, I’ve missed you,”
“And I, you, Luna. Now, please lie still,” I nodded my head as he plugged in the machine and hooked it up to his tablet.
“I wasn’t aware that there were portable versions of this machine,”
“There are many different versions and models, and some are very expensive. Most clinics and hospitals don’t even carry them because they don’t want to spend the money or find it necessary,” he explained without making eye contact with me. “Alright, we are up and running,” he said. He put the table down and squirted the gel on to my stomach. I found this a little ridiculous since I just had a doctor’s appointment a few days ago, but I wasn’t going to argue.
I already knew that Dr. Andrews could look at my patient file all he wanted, but he would still want to see for himself. He hasn’t seen the pup since he first confirmed that I was pregnant.
“Dr. Andrews, I don’t want to know the s*x of the baby, so can you please keep that yourself?”
“Of course, Luna,” he replied and started to move the wand around my stomach. “Well, now that is one healthy Alpha pup. He or she has grown very nicely and is quite large. I see two arms, two legs, ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes, and a nose. The heartbeat is normal, and he or she is very active,” I heard make some tapping noises before he put the table down. “Luna, I am very confident when I say that your pup is in perfect health,” he said with a big smile. He wiped off my belly, and just then, William and Olivia came into my room,
“I thought I heard the doorbell,” Olivia said.
“Oh, Dr. Andrews,” William said and gave him a firm handshake.
“Mr. Rossi, I presume that’s you under this disguise,”
“Oh yes, my apologies. Olivia darling, will you please drop our cloaks for the good doctor?” Olivia nodded her head and snapped her fingers.
“Ah! Mr. Rossi, so good to see you!” Dr. Andrews said with a happy tone. He turned around to see me and smiled even bigger. “Luna, such a pleasure to see your beautiful face,”
“Doctor, I assume you came to check on the pup?” William asked.
“Yes, I have already completed the check-up, and everything is in order. I do want to let you know Luna, that because of your small frame…”
“I might go into labor early because my pup is too big for me, yes, the human doctor said the same thing,” I said finishing his statement and smiling.
“Alright then, as long as we are on the same page,” he clapped his hands. “Luna, this is my private number,” he said handing me a card. “Call me if you need anything at all, day or night. I will be here to help you. Just so you know, I will need to bring a nurse with me when you give birth, so it will more than likely be Irene,”
“I’m fine with that Dr. Andrews,” I tell him. I take his hands as he helps me sit up and bring my feet over the bed.
“I’m going to leave the machine here, but I need to take the table with me. I’m sure the Alpha will want to see these images as well,” I smiled and nodded my head. “Mr. Rossi, Ms. Olivia, it was a pleasure to see you again, and make your acquaintance,” “Dr. Andrews, do you want to stay for breakfast?” I asked him.
“As much I would love to Luna, I do have a prior engagement to attend to. And again, I’m sure the Alpha will want to see these images, so I will be stopping by his business office on the way back home. Have a lovely day,” he bowed his head, and William walked him out.
“Well, he seems pleasant,” Olivia said helping me to my feet.
“He’s a wonderful gentleman. He’s always treated me with respect and kindness,” I reply. We walk out to the kitchen and started to get breakfast ready together. William comes back in after escorting Dr. Andrews out.
“I have to admit, seeing the good doctor was pleasant,” he said and started making his morning coffee. “Tell me, Rylee, are you really going go through with the plan?”
“Yeah, I want that b***h to pay for what she did. Even after I practically saved her life by not telling Wyatt she tried to kill me a few months ago. If that’s how she’s going to repay me, I’m going to fake being Wyatt’s mistress. I’m going to personify Megan to the fullest. Who knows, maybe Megan is the one who ends up killing Alessandro, and not me,”
“But you said it yourself that you don’t know which persona you were in when he finds you,”
“True, but honestly, if this is route Wyatt and I are taking, then maybe I was Megan when he finds me. We’ll just have to see,” he and Olivia just nod their heads. The rest of the morning went as normal. William went to work at the hotel, while Olivia and I decided to go out and buy some male necessities for Wyatt when he comes to stay with us when the pup is born.
We went to the store and picked up some of his favorite bathroom supplies like shampoo, aftershave, toothpaste (yes, we use different kinds because he is picky about it), body wash, and his favorite razors. “Megan, do we really need all of this for him?”
“Yes, we do. Knowing him he’s going to come with the clothes on his back, and possibly a small duffle bag, but not enough to last a couple of weeks,” I told her. “Have you and he traveled at all?”
“Unfortunately no, since technically, I’m supposed to be dead, we can’t travel out of the country, and we never had a chance to go anywhere domestic because of my training, and then the whole him losing his memory bullshit. But who knows, maybe as Megan, we will be able to,” I said shrugging my shoulders. “Well, Megan, you have a passport now, so why not use it,”
“I just might,” we both smiled as we kept shopping. I picked up some clothes for Wyatt as well, like shirts, sweats, boxers, and socks. After we finished shopping, we went to the hotel to eat lunch with William. ***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
It’s been a week since I found Rylee, and I’ve only gone back once to go see her. She’s pretty upset I’m not coming more often, but with Layla constantly following me everywhere I go, thinking she hasn’t been seen, going to see Rylee would be dangerous. Rylee told me that Dr. Andrews has officially put her on bed rest, which means exactly that. With only two weeks left in the pregnancy, Dr. Andrews feels that she can pop any day now and doesn’t want her to overexert herself.
Work has been the same, and I finally got word from the Nightingale Pack in Spain that they’ve finished demolishing the old packhouse. I still didn’t feel comfortable with the Alpha out there basically kicking out his pack members onto the streets, but I heard that he did rehome some of them in extended stay hotels on his dime.
I was going over some of the newer contracts the company brought in during the convention, and I was surprised to see that many of them were for larger upscale multifamily homes like apartments, condos, and duplexes. One project in particular really caught my attention, and I seriously thought I was reading it wrong,
*BEEP*
“Yes, Mr. Valencia,”
“Adriana, do me favor and call Cecile to my office please,”
“Yes sir, right away,”
I waited a few minutes, and the team lead for one of the design teams came in,
“You wanted to see me, Mr. Valencia?”
“Yes, please come in,” she came over and sat in the visitor’s chair at my desk. “Can you look at this new client contract for me?”
“Sure,” I handed her the file and she read over it. “Is there something with it?” she asked after looking it over.
“Cecile, is that number correct?”
