The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 146: Alpha Meeting

Hunter

I'm still riding the high of seeing my son and actually watching him react to me this morning. His picture is already framed and on my desk when Sophie walks in for the Alpha meeting. I immediately pull her into my lap and begin playing with my son, knowing that he's enjoying himself as much as I am.

Sophie leans back against me as I dial into the video meeting. We're the first ones on, which is fine. It gives me a moment to enjoy my mate, kissing her neck while I play with my son. I realize that before long, I won't be able to do both at the same time, at least not like this.

Amelia joins the call next, and I'm surprised to see that Calvin is still in her pack. It's been several days since he arrived. She looks more rested, but no less stressed.

"Hey, Sophie. Hello Hunter."

"Hello Amelia, Alpha Calvin," I say, using his title since he and I don't have the same relaxed relationship that Amelia and I have. I see him frown at that, but he's never acted like he wanted a less formal, more relaxed relationship with me. Ever.

"Hey, Amelia, I have a question for you before the others join. Dr. Caspian is going to go to Dutton's pack to check on Tiffany and Tammi. I asked if he'd be willing to come check on you as well, and he's happy to do it. I don't remember Dad's, or your pack now, having an obstetrician

"We don't and I'd be grateful to have Dr. Caspian come check my daughter."

"I'm far enough behind you, Amelia, that maybe when you get closer to your due date, he and Brooklyn can come stay there so he's there for your delivery."

I see relief wash over her face. "That would be fantastic, Soapy. Thank you."

I'm not sure that Amelia realizes that she slipped back into her kid name for my mate, but it seems to make both of them happy.

"Allison and Nikki are coming next weekend. He's going to check them over and then he'll head to your packs," Sophie tells them.

"Oh, thank the goddess! If Kayce hounds me one more time about needing to see a doctor, I'm going to put him in the doghouse," Allison says as she and Kayce join the call.

“I will not apologize for caring about you and our pup," he says sternly. I watch as Allison turns away from her mate, rolling her eyes at the camera.

"Hey, you want to see something incredible?" I ask, excited to share my news.

"Yeah!" Kayce says.

"Don't we always," Robin says as he and Nikki join the call.

"Don't we always what?" Dutton asks, as he, Tiffany, and Tammi join as well.

I grab the picture of my son, seeing Sophie smiling at me as I turn it and find the camera.

"Ohhhh!" all the Lunas on the call say, possibly Amelia too, but I'm not paying attention. I'm too excited to tell them what happened.

Sophie's arm comes around my neck.

"So, my son and I play this game..."
