Page 76 of My Omega's Baby
“The omega insisted on leaving the compound even though he was due any moment. We couldn’t get to them in time.” Dr. Peters looked uneasy. “I did my best, but it was too late.”
“Well, I’m not going anywhere.” I met Wyatt’s gaze. “I don’t want to do anything that would jeopardize our baby.”
“Sorry to end your exam on such a depressing note.” Dr. Peters slipped the syringe with my blood into a little bag. “But it’s important you understand you need to stay close by, just in case.”
“We will,” Wyatt responded firmly.
Dr. Peters leaned toward me and spoke softly. “Remember, in twenty years, Blade, only one fatality and that was because the omega didn’t listen.”
I nodded and tried to relax. “Okay.”
He moved to the door. “Go ahead and get dressed. I should have your blood results back by tomorrow morning, and I’d like to see you again in about five days. We might be able to tell the sex of the baby by then.”
“Really?” I was glad for the change of subject. I’d been nervous enough before I’d heard the possible complications. Now I was twice as apprehensive.
“Yep,” Dr. Peters said.
After he was gone, I slid off the table and got dressed quickly. When I met Wyatt’s gaze, he had a funny expression. “Everything okay?” I asked as I ran my hands over my hair.
“I think this pregnancy is giving me an ulcer.”
“I know.” I sighed. “But we won’t be stupid. We’ll stick close to the compound, and everything should be fine.”
“Right.” He gave a curt nod.
I frowned at him. “Don’t look so grim.”
He stood and leaned in to kiss me. “Sorry.” He forced a smile. “That was moving as hell to see our baby.”
Our baby.
I put my arms around his waist. “Yeah.”
“I want the sex of the baby to be a surprise.” He laughed. “What about you?”
“I agree.” I smiled.
There was a knock on the door and Trina came in with a bottle of pills. “Prenatal vitamins. Have you been taking any?”
My face warmed. “I never even thought about it.”
“It’s okay.” She smiled. “Start now, though.” She handed me the bottle.
“I will.”
“You look exhausted.” She laughed and patted my shoulder. “Your cabin is up the same road you came in on, about a quarter mile. It’s blue and it has window boxes with yellow flowers. You can’t miss it.” She held out a key, and Wyatt grabbed it.
We walked out of the building, and she went back inside. We got in the car and pulled onto the road, passing a bunch of brightly painted cabins. I was once again surprised by how cheery and normal everything seemed here. I’d been convinced it would be a dreary place where solar eclipse omegas came to unload their unwanted offspring. But as I glimpsed children playing in their yards, I realized that wasn’t the case at all. This was a community of happy families, not a prison.
“Remind me to call Mom tonight,” Wyatt murmured, interrupting my thoughts. “She wanted to come with us so bad.”
“I know.” I grimaced. “I felt kind of guilty leaving her behind. But this is pretty personal and intense. I’m glad it’s just you and me.”
He nodded. “Me too.” He shot me a warm glance. “Seeing that ultrasound made this even more real.”
“I know.” He grabbed my hand, and I kissed his knuckles.
“So what do you want, a boy or a girl?”
