The Luna’s Choice (Theo and Ayla) by Kat Silver
Chapter 218

Chapter 68: Ayla 

Theo and I got out of the car at the doctor’s office later that afternoon. The parking lot was nearly empty as they had probably stopped seeing patients for the day already. Theo had managed to get them to fit me in today. 

“This may be better anyway,” he said as he wrapped an arm around my waist. “The fewer people see us here, the less risk of rumors starting.” 

He k*ssed my temple and walked me inside. 

“Hello, Alpha. Luna Ayla,” a woman in a white coat greeted us at the door. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Dr. Albright.” 

“It’s a pleasure as well, Doctor,” I said, shaking her hand. “We’re sorry to keep you here after hours.” 

“Don’t you even worry about that,” she said. “I’d be here doing my notes anyway. Come on back with me.” 

Theo squeezed my hand as we followed the doctor back to an examination room. She started off with a standard exam and talked about what I could expect during a werewolf pregnancy. She took her time, letting us ask as many questions as we had. 

“There has been a lot going on ever since Ayla and I got together,” Theo said. “She has been going through a lot of extra stress lately. Now, her morning sickness has been getting worse, so she’s not sleeping. I know this can’t be healthy for both of them.” 

“It’s not healthy for any of you,” Dr. Albright said. “Ideally, we want both Mom and Dad to get rest and relaxation. However, life often has

different plans. I can definitely give you something that can help with the morning sickness. As well as some pamphlets with techniques that can help reduce stress. It is something important to consider. But what can help with that is to remember that we are a resilient species, and babies are often as resilient as we are. But I’d like to do an ultrasound today anyway. That should help put you at ease.” 

“Thank you, Doctor,” I said. 

She took us back to the ultrasound room and instructed me to lie down. It was a strange feeling waiting to see my pup for the first time as she prepared the machine. She touched the wand to my belly and within seconds, we could hear a heartbeat coming through the monitor. Theo’s hold on my hand tightened. A smile spread across the doctor’s face. 

“Everything looks fantastic,” she said, “And here” – she turned the monitor in our direction and pointed to a spot on the screen 

“is your little pup. Strong and healthy.” 

I swiped at the tears that started to fall as Theo k*ssed my temple, whispering how much he loved me. 

“You will probably start feeling it kick any day now,” she said. 

“Already?” I asked. 

She nodded. “It’s growing pretty fast. It’s not terribly uncommon to see some pup develop faster than others. And it is possible that you could have conceived shortly before your heat, as well. Either way, you’re doing a great job and your baby is doing great.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I breathed a sigh of relief, leaning into Theo as he held onto me. Dr. Albright wiped my belly clean and covered me back up. She printed out some of the images from the ultrasound and handed them to me. 

“First pictures of baby. I’ll get you something for the morning sickness, continue with your prenatal vitamins, and just keep doing what you’re doing,” she said with a smile. 

“Again, thank you,” Theo said. “We really appreciate you fitting us in. And for your discretion.” 

“Of course, Alpha,” Dr. Albright replied. “We are all excited about our nèw Alpha and Luna. The pack will be just as exciting when they find out about the new addition. The least I can do is help protect them.” She stood up and smoothed her coat. “Take any time you need, but there isn’t anything else for me today. See yourselves out when you’re ready.” 

We thanked her again as she left. The moment the door closed, Theo was k*ssing me. I chuckled against his l*ps. 

“Do you feel better?” I asked when he finally pulled away. 

“I do,” he confirmed, helping me off the bench. “Do you?” 

“I will feel even better once this morning sickness is under control,” I chided. “But yes, it’s a big relief knowing that, with everything else, at least our pup is strong and doing fine. Thank you. For insisting I come in.” 

He brushed his fingers along my cheek. “It’s my job to take care of you, love,” he replied. “Both of you. I’m not going to let you suffer. Even if it is normal or because of our pup.‘

of suffering when it comes to our kids,” I teased. 

“Not a chance,” he insisted with a grin. 

After a few more k*ssed and caresses, we headed back out to the car. 

My mind wandered to something I had been putting off as we pulled out of the parking lot. 

“What’s wrong?” Theo asked. 

“Nothing’s wrong,” I assured him. “I was just thinking. Now that we know everything is fine, it may be time to tell Ma and Kylee
