Chapter 50
Helios
POV
'Get to the hospital. Celeste is in labour.' I mind linked Gonzalo, Theo, Sebastian and Natalia. I had just gotten the text from Markus. I ran towards the front of the packhouse and met Natalia there. I lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around me. "Hmm. Where was I going again?" I whispered in her ear and she grinned at me. I walked slightly away from the packhouse and jumped towards Crescent Moon.
'No fair, drop her off and come back for me. I don't want to run all the way! Sebastian mind linked me.
'Ask Theo if you can ride him. This one is closed,' I answered.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
'We do that in private, you promiscuous Alpha,' he said with mock indignation. I rolled my eyes at his innuendo and laughed as I walked hand in hand with Natalia into the hospital where Alexander, Marie, Danny and Gillian were already waiting. "The guys will be here shortly." I told them. Danny nods. It's adorable how nervous he looks when it's not him or his mate in there.
"Maya and Camila are getting the kids ready. They will be here shortly too." He says and winces as he hears loud growls coming from the double doors. Contractions clearly hitting her hard. I raise an eyebrow and his face gets red. "I am having a bit of a flashback to when Maya had James," he explains and winces again as we hear Celeste growling again through the double door.
Everyone else joins us and we wait nervously for the newest member of our family to arrive.
'Do you think I could take her pain away? I've never tried to help someone in labour. I feel so useless. Nat mind links me 10 minutes later as we hear Celeste's growls turn into progressively louder screams. Before I could even respond, we heard the beautiful cries of a new little pup entering the world. Everyone in the waiting room cheered and howled in support, causing little Josue, Camila's pup, to startle and begin to cry. We settled down guiltily and waited patiently. Finally, after twenty minutes, the door opened and Dr. Castle opened the door. "I know I can't keep you from barging in, but remember the Luna just gave birth and she deserves some res-" Danny was already pushing past with Maya before he could finish talking. He sighed and let the rest of us go through. Celeste was sitting up on the bed looking tired but happy. Markus was by her side, holding a tiny blue bundle in his arms and a huge smile on his face. "Everyone, meet Lucien Sol Salonen." My eyes widened at that and I looked over at Celeste, who was looking at me nervously. I struggled to keep my emotions in control. Nat squeezed my hand and pushed me forward. I felt a couple of people pat my back as I make my way to the bed. I can feel the tears wanting to spill and I blink a few times to stop them. I can't trust myself to speak so I just bend down and hug her tight. I am probably holding her for a minute or two before I pull back and give her a kiss on her forehead before I look at Markus.
"May I?" I asked and he passed me the little boy in his arms. He's a cute little guy, blue eyes and black curly tuffs adorned his head. I'm not allowed much time to bond with my namesake, however, before I'm forced to pass him on to another eager fan. I watch Nat with a little bit of longing when it's her turn to hold him. The last time we talked about children, she told me she didn't know when she'd be ready. I didn't blame her, considering what happened to her only son, and I would wait until she was ready, but it didn't stop me from daydreaming about seeing a little Nat running around our packhouse.
After half an hour, Dr. Castle came in to put his foot down and kicked us all out.
"I'll go get the car." Theo said.
"I'll pass. I want to go for a run." Gonzalo said as he took off towards the woods to shift. I frowned a little. He had been so withdrawn since the attack a couple of months ago. I was worried about him, and I missed talking to my friend.
I felt a tug on my hand and I turned to look at Nat. "Can we take a walk by the river?"
"Sure. Everything OK?" I asked. She nodded but I could feel her nerves through the bond. "We'll make our way back on our own later," I told the boys. They nodded and left. She held onto me as I jumped to the river bank. We walked a little in silence, holding hands. I wasn't sure what was happening, but I waited for her to gather her thoughts and communicate with me. We had both been alone for so long and we still struggled to communicate some days. We were learning to recognize it and gave each other time now. "I want a baby," she said so suddenly, and it brought me to a complete stop. I was stupefied and I didn't manage to say anything at first. She waited for me to talk, then when I still didn't, she said again, "I'm ready to try to have a baby with you Helios." My mouth flopped open and closed like a fish. I thought it would take her years to be ready. She looked nervous suddenly. "Do - Do you not want to anymore? I just thought. I love our life. I love our friends. I want our children to play with their children. I want them to grow up with our family. There will never be another group of people in our lives who will love them so completely. I want that for them. Please talk to me. I can't feel anything through the bond and it's making me really anxious," she said. I looked down at her. Processing her words. Will you f*****g talk already? You're making her nervous. We want pups, what do you have to think about? - Ezequiel growls at me, snapping me from my shock.
I moved in front of her and smashed my lips down to hers. I picked her up without letting go of her lips and jumped up to our balcony. I opened the door and dumped her on the bed, removing my clothes faster than she could blink. I jumped on top of her and started ripping her clothes off and she started laughing. "I didn't mean right now! I still have to get off birth control," She squealed as I tore off her bra.
I stop for a moment and grin at her. "We'll count this as practice." Before I dip down and kiss her with all the happiness she's brought me. "I love you" I tell her between kisses, "So much." I kiss down her neck and suck on the beautiful mark she allowed me to place on her. "You make me so happy," I say over her moan.
She grabs my head and brings it up to her eye level. I don't know what she's looking for in my eyes, but I let her see all the love I have for her. She smashes her lips to mine and flips us over. I groan as she takes my hardened shaft and sinks all the way down on it. I grab hold of her a*s as she begins to ride me. "f**k, you feel so good Nat," I tell her. She is my world. I don't know how I lived so long without her by my side and I hope I never have to again. I let my hands travel to her waist and I started increasing the pace. This one will be hard and fast as I start thrusting up to meet her coming down. She looked down at me with hooded eyes and smiled. I felt my c**k twitch inside her and my balls tense as her walls began to clench on it. She lifted her hands from my chest and dragged them up her body and pinched her n*****s as she rode my c**k, letting her head fall back as she let me take over our rhythm. I sat up and she placed one hand on the back of my head as I took her now free n****e into my mouth. I pumped her hips up and down on my c**k. I bit her n****e and I felt her heated core milk my c**k as the o****m shook her. She slumped down on my shoulder as she came down from her high, and I flipped her back on the bed. I put her legs over my shoulders and drove back into her. She arched her back at the intrusion and moaned. I felt close. I smashed my lips to hers as I continued to chase my own release.
"Nat, come for me again baby. I want to hear you scream again," I whispered into her ear before I bit the lobe and sucked it into my mouth. She gasped and moaned loudly. Her core milked me again and I felt myself explode inside her. I collapsed on top of her and smiled when I felt her hands running through my sweat-soaked hair. That was the reason I was letting it grow. I loved these moments of intimacy.
"I love you," she said quietly.
"Y yo a ti(and I you)" I kissed her jaw softly.
"When do you want to start trying?" she asked.
I smiled, "Whenever you're ready. You're the one that has to do all the hard work."
"I'll get off birth control tomorrow." she said, and I looked up to see her smiling at me. I smiled back, imagining her round with my pup.
