Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

122. A Rossi Baby

LEO.

It’s all one big blur of pure adrenaline, we’re through the hospital doors. I’ve taken Azura to a private room which has been prepared for her for the last few weeks. It’s already got everything our baby will need.

Kiara had wanted to be the one to assist with the birth, but Azura had said she’ll be fine, and refused to allow anyone but me and Donna into the room. That had been her plan from the start, and we all had to respect that.

Her eyes are blazing silver, and not one sound escapes her as she grips my hand and pushes. She’s strong, and I can see that in the silence she holds, as she pushes when Donna instructs her.

My own heart is racing, and I can feel her emotions through the bond; she’s nervous, excited, scared, and happy. As am I…

There’s been a few times that I was tempted to know the gender over these past few months, but right now not knowing was fucking exciting.

“Oh, the pup is crowning! My, that’s a lot of hair.” Donna says. “You are doing incredibly well Luna. Now push for me.”

She grits her teeth, her nails digging into my hand as she pushes, and for the first time, a small grunt escapes her as she pushes.

“You’re fucking brave.” I whisper. I know she’s in pain… There’s no doubt about that. Her eyes are glistening with tears from it, but she’s fucking incredible.

“This is a piece of cake.” She says, glaring at me, her expression saying something miles different.

I smirk. “Oh yeah?”

“Yes.” She retorts, tugging my hand to her lips and kissing it softly despite her frustration.

“Again Luna.” Donna says. With my free hand, I caress her hair slowly, her heart is racing and there’s a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. “Keep pushing.”

“I’m trying.” Azura growls, as she pushes using all her strength. “Ah Fuck!”

My stomach twists and I look at Donna. “Is she ok?”

“Yes, Alpha, this is the pushing stage. She’s almost there.” Donna replies.

We’d been here for only an hour, but she was already pretty dilated when we came in.

Donna had been surprised she was still at home with how strong her contractions are.

“You’re carrying the next one.” She growls at me, her silver eyes on me and I cock a brow. Although I want to tell her that isn’t actually possible, I don’t think now’s the time for snarky replies, although the temptation to tease her is real. 1

“We won’t have another one.” I say instead, trying to soothe her.

That doesn’t work, and she swats my hand away.

“Why not?” She hisses.

“Because you know the anatomy of human bodies? I can’t carry one and-”

“I’m not fucking stupid!” She snaps, “I know that! You are so annoying!” 1

I smirk. “It’s ok to vent.”

“Stop fucking antagonising me!” She growls and I see Donna hiding a smile.

“Sorry Baby Girl.” I say softly, hiding my smile, instead leaning down, I kiss her forehead softly, wishing I could take away her pain.

Her hand tightens on mine as she holds it to her thumping chest. I move back slowly, and our eyes meet. Hers return to their gorgeous blue.

“You know I still love you, just let me be angry…” She whispers, but it ends in a strong push and gasp. 1
