Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 67

Reggie and Amari step into the room. I follow them, but Bronx holds me back.

"Kas, please be careful," his face is full of worry. He places his palm on my face and caresses my cheek with his thumb. I can feel his worry flooding through me. I close my eyes to concentrate and block it, hold my hands against his so he doesn’t pull away. Selfishly want to feel our mate bond for a moment.

"I'll be back out here as soon as I'm done healing Ashley. No sooner, no later," I don't want to promise him anything. I don't feel like right now is the time to be careful. It is a time for action. 1

He leans down and gives me a soft kiss, "I'll be right here waiting, Baby."

I give him one last look before I go back into Ashley's room. Amari has situated herself on the far side of the bed. Reggie is holding Ashley's hand up to his mouth, kissing it. When he sees me, he moves to the other side of the room with Ashley's mom. She rubs his back while they both watch with worry.

"Alright, Kas. Lay your hands as you normally would. Ashley, I am going to lay my hands on top of your Luna's. Try to double her healing ability, if you will," Amari explains to the sleepy Ashley.

"Ashley, if you feel any pain, any discomfort at all, tell us right away," I nod while I speak to her.

"Okay. I will,” she smiles weakly.

I put her hands down at her sides for her and place one of my hands on her chest and the other on her slightly bloated belly.

"So, how far along are you? I can’t believe I forgot to ask," I ask apologetically.

"A month and a half. We couldn't find a good time to tell you with everything that has been going on," she sounds apologetic herself. Typical Ashley, always worried about everyone else.

"Okay, well, let's make the next three and a half months comfortable in there for this pup, shall we?" I giggle a little, trying to lighten the mood.
