Chapter 0958

"Okay, okay,” I say, smiling at Pippa, giving her hand one last squeeze. "Good luck, Pips! I'll be right outside the door!"

Pippa gives me a nod and a smile, her face flushed and sweaty. She squeezes my hand back. "See you in a minute, Ari," she says, turning away to Elias and my mom and Cora – Alpha, magical healer, and OBGYN - who will be staying in the room for the birth.

I sigh, stepping away, biting my lip, desperately wanting to stay -

"Out, Ari," mom says, flashing me a grin and pointing towards the door as Cora leans towards Pippa with a watch in her hand, timing her contractions and murmuring to her that it's time to push.

"Oh fine!" I sigh, scowling at my mother and turning towards the door, flouncing out with a pout readily on my mouth. I sigh, pulling the door shut behind me, knowing that my presence isn't necessary but really, really wanting to be there.

"How is she?"

I jump a little, turning in surprise to the croaking voice, my eyes widening in surprise when I see Mark and Benny sitting on the hallway floor, each of them looking mildly miserable and worried.

"She's fine," I say, flashing a smile at Ben. But then I turn to Mark and frown. "What on earth are you still doing here?" I ask, crossing the hall and squeezing in between them.

Mark sighs, scootching to the side a little bit to make room for me. "Don't ask, Ari, okay?" he murmurs, looking down at his knees, clearly miserable.
