“I know Ty, I'm sorry”.
“You need your rest babe, I'll come visit in a few hours okay.”
“Okay, when do I get to come home?”
“As soon as you get your strength back,” he said with a smile.
Tyler's POV
The image of Kaylie falling onto the floor was still burned into my mind.
I started to panic and ran towards her, trying to figure out what was wrong with her. I checked her for any signs of bleeding as she had her hit her head.
One of the boys painting had ran and got a doctor. Felicity was distraught trying to wake Kaylie up.
I felt like a failure because I could not protect her and she was my mate.
The doctors then arrived and started to work on her. They placed her into a bed and hooked her up to all sorts of machines. One of them turned to me. She was a female wolf who was a friend of my mothers.
“Tyler she's going to be fine. She just collapsed because she is too worn out. Her body is showing signs of exhaustion; she will be fine once we get some fluids into her body.”
“Thank you” I said.
It pained me to see her in that hospital bed when she should be with me in my arms in our own bed. I should have done more for her. I could have prevented this if I said something sooner.
Looking at her like that broke my heart and made me realise just what I really wanted.
I walked into her room to see doctors monitoring her.
“How are you feeling?”
“Good now that you’re here.”
“That’s good. Look I really want to talk to you about something'
She looked at me a little confused.
“Ok what's on your mind?”
I did not know where to start.
“Well this choice is no one's but mine and yours to make as both Alpha and Luna. Seeing you in the hospital bed just makes me realise what I was too blind to see all along and I know we are young but I think we can do it, together. I don't want to wait because I know what I want now.”
She looked at me with that confused little face she gets when she is trying to process something.
“So Tyler, what are you saying because I don't quite understand?”
Kaylie's POV
I looked at him as if I was seeing him for the very first time. He had that cute little half smirk, half smile and his eyes had that fire to them. He looked at me so full of passion and all I wanted was to be in his arms.
“What I'm trying to say Kaylie is that I don't want to wait a few more years. I want to start a family with you now. Seeing you like this makes me want to never let you go. All I want is to protect you and to stand by your side forever. I do not want to ever feel like how I have for the last few days while you have been unconscious. When you are better and your body can handle a pregnancy and you want to of course I want to try for a baby”.
I looked at him stunned. I tried to speak but no words came out.
Was I ready for that decision yet?
Was I ready to have a baby at my age?
Nothing was really stopping me from being a mum and I swore that when I did have kids I would be the best mother that I possibly could.
That tiny little life would be Tyler's and mine, something that we created together. A little part of both of us, the best of both of us. This baby would fill the void, that empty feeling I felt all my life. Call it mother's intuition but I just knew.
Tyler sat down on the side of my bed staring at me waiting for my answer. I took his hand and stroked it for a few seconds before looking into his eyes.
“I know I have put a lot of stress on you the last few weeks and I'm so sorry for that. Becoming parents is a big decision and this has put everything into perspective for me. You are my life and I will stand by you always. You know I have told you about feeling empty my whole life. That black void I always felt. It got worse with Nate's death but when you came into my life, it was as if I could see past it for the first time. You made everything better and I think if we have a baby; the best parts of both of us that the void might be filled a bit more. I feel like I am ready. I mean what else do I have to live for. Werewolves were created to find their mate and produce. I can continue my Luna duties as well as raising our child. So if you are ready than I am too”.
He looked at me as if he was a blind man seeing for the first time after so long.
“I love you Kaylie and I will do everything for you. I will wait on your hand and foot even paws if I have to, to help you raise our child. I will be here through all of the morning sickness and the giving birth part even though you know I hate blood. This child will be the second best thing that has ever happened to me. Our baby will take over from us one day with their partner as alpha and Luna and the generation will continue. I love you so much and I will love this baby too. All I have ever wanted was to find my mate, starting a family was not even an option really. Being alpha was just a bonus for me. You have made me so happy; just get better for me, please.”
He kissed me and it was magical. Every time this boy touched me, it was as if I was on fire.

3 weeks later
“Don't forget what the doctor said Kaylie, you still need to rest and we can't start trying until you're given the all clear and get your check up and the pre natal vitamins”.
“Jesus Tyler you sound worse than your father when I was actually giving birth to you and your fat head.”
“Thanks so much for that mum, I'm just worried about her” he said sarcastically.
“And so you should, it's your job to worry about her just don't overdo it, she's not even pregnant yet and when she is all I can say is god help you Kaylie, I'm here if you need saving sweetheart” she said offering a warm smile.
“Thank you” I said returning it.
Tyler has not shut up about trying for a baby. He has been all-gentle and I am already starting to crack.
“Tyler I'm fine, you can stop with the gentleness now, I'm not going to break.”
It was sweet to know that he cared the way he did about me. All I had been dreaming of lately is holding a baby in my arms and seeing the smile on Ty's face. I could not wait to give him that moment with his child. I could tell he would be a great dad.
His parents supported our decision and were excited at the prospect of having a grandchild in their lives soon. His mum even hinted at wanting more than one. She said her greatest mistake was only having one pup. Tyler grew up too fast for her liking and offered to help me with anything she could.
I was glad that I had great in laws.
Tyler was currently trying to shove me in the car so that we could go to my check up and start trying right away. I think he had baby brain. I even caught him reading a few baby books. I guess he was smitten with the idea or just overly excited.
“You know I'm probably just going to enjoy all the sex I'll get from this until you realise I'm actually pregnant and then you won't touch me until I give birth”.
“That's not true, according to the baby books you'll get even hornier as the pregnancy progresses, high libido or something.”
“Joy” was all I said.
“I will be enjoying the sex too and when you're pregnant I can say I've had a threesome” he joked, concentrating on driving.
I slapped him for that one.
“So you want a threesome?” I questioned.
“I was joking; I thought you were only supposed to get emotional when the hormones start changing”.
“Can we stop with the baby jokes please?”
“Alright, I'll stop.”
The rest of the trip was peaceful, and I heard no more bad baby jokes.
Once we got to the hospital, I was immediately called in for the check up. It was the same female doctor who dealt with my collapse a few weeks earlier.
“It's good to see you looking well Kaylie, I see you're all ready for your check up then.”
“Yeah as ready as I'll ever be, Tyler hasn't shut up a
bout babies,” I said.
“Yes, I know from what Anna has told me I can see where the frustration is coming from, okay let's get started then”.
She checked my vitals and made sure my general health was okay, my records, showed I was fertile, and I had no problems with my periods. I was off my contraception and I was prescribed pre natal's.
“Just so we're all on the same page and something may happen no one knows about this except you, us and Anna and Rick and I'd like to keep it that way until we know that nothing is going to go wrong. I don't want to get my hopes up”
“Your secrets safe with me Kaylie but you shouldn't be scared hunny. Your body was designed for a child. You will be monitored, and everything will be fine. I promise you the baby will be fine. I know you worry because of your brother but everything will work out.”
I thanked her and walked out holding Tyler's hand and my pills, my best friends for the next few months.
“Everything will be fine Kaylie, be positive for me babe, Soon we will have a little baby. Sometimes I feel like I don't make you happy.”
“It's not that, I'm just so scared that I'll lose someone else and I know I need to let go of what happened to Nate but I can't and I've tried, you know I have. Something is holding me back and I do not want anything to disappoint me. I am scared something will happen to the baby. Everything good that I have is taken from me. I thought it was you when I heard Nate and I prayed that it was not you because that would have crushed me more. The pain from losing a mate is excruciating or so I have been told. I can't lose you, we can always have more kids, but there's only one of you, do you understand?”
He kissed me and then held my face.
“I understand babe but I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here okay, it's just me and you against the world for now and when the baby does come it's just something better to have come into our lives. All I know I that I love you and we are having lots of sex tonight so stock up on your vitamins. God I have missed being inside you.”
I could not help but laugh and know that I was definitely in for a night of absolute pleasure.

For the next few months, I was ordered to take it easy, so that my body did not go backwards and so I did not put myself into danger again. Every day I got a little of myself back and soon my body was like it was when I was preparing for battle. Because we were trying for a baby, I could not get involved in fights and I was only allowed to do the paper work.
Over the next few weeks, the hospital slowly got re-done and I was happy with the result. I still visited Felicity but even with my increased immune system, I still could get sick so I had to be careful.
As of now, we had been trying for a baby for the past four months and I had not fallen pregnant once. For some reason I wasn't getting my heat like I used to and that was supposed to happen once a moth like with a period after you mate.
I could tell Tyler was getting upset because I was not pregnant yet. All he talked about lately was being a dad and the things he would teach the baby.
One morning I woke up feeling not so crash hot. I had the urge to puke and luckily, I made it in time. I heaved my guts up into the toilet a few times before sinking down onto the tiles leaning my head against the cold floor.
I smiled to myself thinking the only logical explanation. This had to be morning sickness for sure.
Tyler was out running patrols and would not be back for a few hours. I grabbed my phone and called Sarah, my doctor to book an appointment. Since luck was on my side, she could fit me in, in about five minutes. I grabbed my keys and locked the house up before walking the quick walk to the hospital. I knocked on her door and was ushered in. She closed the door and sat down at her desk.
“It's nice to see you again Kaylie, what can I do for you?”
“I woke up with a strong urge to vomit and then it just kept happening. In all honesty I actually thought it was morning sickness and got excited” I couldn't help but smile.
“Okay then, I'll do a few tests and see if I can determine that you are pregnant. Have you noticed any other symptoms”?
“No, I haven't” I said honestly.
“Okay well first I'll do a urine test and a blood test.”
She handed me a bottle and I put it on the table. She strapped my arm and proceeded to take my blood. I felt a little woozy but I recovered quickly. Once she had taken my vial of blood, I went to the toilet and did the pee sample for her. I cleaned the bottle and handed it to her. She dipped a strip in and I watched, as it turned blue.
She smiled at me.
“Okay just one more thing. Lie down and just lift your shirt a little, this might be a little cold”
She squirted a little of the gel onto my stomach and using what looked like to be part of an ultrasound machine moved the gel around. All of a sudden, I could hear what sounded like a heartbeat.
“Congratulations, you and Tyler are having a baby”
“Oh my god I'm pregnant and I didn't realise until today, how could I have not known?” I asked smiling.
“Well you have been under a lot of stress lately, I am sure your mind has been elsewhere from the looks of things you are around three months pregnant.”
I was so excited.
“Thank you so much,” I said as she wiped the gel off and proceeded to do something on the computer.
“You're welcome,” she said as she handed me some pictures of my little baby.
“I'll need you to come back when you're twenty weeks.”
I walked out of the hospital feeling happy. I could not wait to tell Tyler the good news.
I quickly sent him a text telling him that I needed to meet him at the house. By the time, I got home and up to our room, he was already there. He pulled me into a hug and looked me up and down, searching for any signs of injury.
“I'm fine babe” I smiled at him
“What's wrong then?”
“I woke up vomiting and went to the hospital to make sure everything was okay.”
“Are you alright?” his face filled with concern and it was the cutest thing ever.
“Yes everything is fine I found out what the problem was though.”
He looked confused at my words so I handed him the ultrasound photos.
“Are these what I think they are?” he asked
“Yes baby, you're going to be a daddy. I'm three months pregnant”
“Whoop” he screamed out. “I'm going to be a dad.”
He looked the happiest I had seen him in a long time.
“We're going to be parent’s baby.”
He got down to his knees and kissed my non-existent tummy. I wasn't showing at all and I wouldn't for at least another month.
“Hi baby, its daddy. Mummy and daddy are so happy that you're going to be here in six months. You are going to be the cutest baby.”
“I'm here for you the whole way babe, when's the next ultrasound?”
“At twenty weeks, then they can tell us if we're having a little girl or boy.”
“Well I am going to go tell the rents and the boys so I'll be back soon babe, can I take the photos?”
“Of course babe we'll put them up once you get back” I said giving him a kiss.
I was so happy. I had the boy of dream and he was all mine forever and now we had a baby on the way.
Life was so much better here and I was so grateful. No one could hold me down anymore. I felt untouchable.
Chapter 28
Kaylie's POV
Everything was black and I had no memory of what had happened.
A beeping sound filled my ears and I heard hushed voices talking.
I opened my eyes to see that I was in a hospital bed with machines and cables sprouting out of me.
“You're awake,” Tyler said happily. I noticed he had bags under his eyes and he looked like he had not slept in days.
“How long have I been out?” I asked
“Two days” he replied.
“What happened?”<
br />
“You wore yourself out, you body could not function due to exhaustion and you collapsed. You could have died Kaylie. You really need to rest.”
I was shocked. I had driven myself into the ground and did this to me. I had made Tyler worry and I did not want that for him.
“I'm so sorry. I did not mean to make you worry, that's the last thing I wanted.”
He pulled me in for a hug and stroked my hair.
“As long as you're okay, it doesn't matter. You are too important to me Kaylie and I need you by my side so none of this ever again. I need a strong Luna to have my pups and I want her to be you so you need to get stronger. If you were carrying my pups now you would never survive. The pups would suck the life out of you.”
“I know Ty, I'm sorry”.
“You need your rest babe, I'll come visit in a few hours okay.”
“Okay, when do I get to come home?”
“As soon as you get your strength back,” he said with a smile.
