The sickened luna’s last chance

“Home?” I asked as we got back in the car.

“Nope.” Alexander directed Gabriel to drive toward the shopping district. When the Beta parked outside of the biggest baby supply store in the territory, I turned to stare at Alexander.

“Alexander, what are we doing here?”

“Shopping for the baby.” He was already getting out of the car, and when he opened my door, he was in such a rush that I practically had to jog to catch up with him.

“Isn’t it a little early for that? I’m barely three months along.”

“It’s never too early to be prepared. I’m just being practical.” Rigl. Practical. As if I couldn’t see the excitement in his green eyes. “Besides, the good stuff takes time to order.”

The store was massive, with different sections for furniture, clothes, toys, and feeding supplies. Everything was displayed in little mock nurseries that made my heart leap and my mind race with all kinds of ideas for our future baby’s room.

“Alpha Alexander! Luna Ella!” A cheerful woman in her fifties approached us with a clipboard. “I’m so honored that you’re considering my humble shop for your little heir.”

“Hardly humble,” I laughed, gesturing around at the massive space and making the woman blush.

Alexander placed his arm around my shoulders, and now I was the one who was blushing. “We’re just looking for the essentials for now. Crib, changing table, that sort of thing. But I only want the best.”

“Wonderful! Congratulations. When are you due?”
