It's been three whole weeks since Scarlett found out that she was pregnant and decided to keep the child. Just as she thought, it wasn't easy for her. Doctor Imelda had told her the last time she went to the hospital for a check-up that she had noticed some abnormalities with the child, as it seemed like her baby was growing faster than a regular child.Scarlett knew that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her child. The only reason her baby was going quickly was because it was a werewolf baby. Werewolves gave birth faster than a regular human. She knew that she would go into labor at exactly seven months, but she could not tell the doctor that. There was nothing she could do about it, so she would just let them draw their conclusions when the time came.The pregnancy was not going easy on Scarlett as she not only had to go to work every day, she also had to battle with morning sickness and all the other troubles that came with being pregnant. She had nearly collapsed a few times
“Scarlett” doctor Imedal raised her head from the documents on her table to smile at Scarlett and Alex, “I'm glad you could make it”“Yeah, me too”“ I doubt you would have made it if I didn't come to drag you” Alex whispered for only Scarlett to hear, earning a glare from her.“Shut it” she snapped, making him snicker as they both took a seat in front of doctor Imelda.Scarlett had missed her appointment twice when she forgot about it. She did not have a phone and refused the one Alex bought for her, so he couldn't reach her; he went on a business trip. On her next appointment after that, doctor Imelda had not been happy and had told her countless times about why she should not miss her appointment again: her pregnancy did not look normal to doctor Imelda and her body was not well, she needed to be monitored.“Alright, let's move to checking the baby to see if he or she has decided to reveal their gender”With a deep sigh that was released through her mouth, Scarlett stood up and wal
“What do you mean when you told doctor Imelda that you would take the matter of me not doing laborious work up with me?”“ You understand what I meant, Scarlett. Doctor Imelda is right. If you want both you and the baby to be fine, then you need to stop stressing yourself "“ I need to stop stressing myself” Scarlett said with a sarcastic smile, “I have to stop stressing myself then who would feed my baby? The only thing that's stressing me is my job, and if I stop that, who would feed me and my child? Would manna fall from heaven to us?”He was about to start the car but allowed his hand to drop from the ignition key to his lap. He moved on his seat to face her the way the seat belt could allow him before dragging him back,” Of course it wouldn't, but I can be bringing you manna every day”Scarlett looked away from him to face the window, “Don't start with me, Alex. I have already told you before that I wouldn't be accepting more things from you. You have done more than enough for me
“Scarlett,” Alex called as Scarlett took off her seatbelt and was going to step out of the car in front of her house.She stepped down first before turning to look at him, “Yes?”“Remember what doctor Imelda said,” he raised a hand when he saw that she was going to argue, “It if for your own good, and you know it well”Scarlett sighed dramatically, “I know but… “ He cut her off, “no but's. I have a preposition for you”“ What preposition?” She bent and shoved her head back inside the car, so she could hear him properly without straining her ears and also see his face while he spoke. Alex's eyes widened in panic at what she was doing, “Hey, don't do that. Let me come out instead.” He took off his seat belt and stepped out, ignoring her eyes roll as he slammed the door shut and walked to where she was standing on the opposite side of the car.“What preposition?" She asked as she gazed up at him with arms folded across her chest. “We need to sit and talk about this.” He had hoped tha
“Okay, fine. I will be coming with you”Alex went still for a moment. Shock could be seen in his eyes before it changed into excitement. He leaned over to grab her hands in his, “Do you really mean it?”“Yes” she couldn't contain her smile in the face of his happiness. It was contagious. “That's so good." Alex felt like jumping to his feet and pumping his hand in the air to show just how excited he was but felt like it would be too much, too feminine, so he contained himself and remained seated as he released her hand from his.“When are we going?” Scarlett asked. Though he just told her about moving, and she just accepted to do it, she was already looking forward to it.Scarlett was already tired and bored with this small town. She had wished so much in the few months that she had been here that she would leave for another bigger City, but more that it was impossible, especially as she had no money. Here was an opportunity, she won't allow it to pass by her. She would be a fool if s
“Do you feel comfortable?” Alex asked Scarlett after helping her to lay on the bed and covering her with a blanket.“Yes, thank you” she told him, her eyes lifting to meet his as she curled her hands around the white fluffy pillow and hugged it to herself.“Goodnight” he told her as he rose to his feet from where he had been kneeling beside her bed, “I'm just in the next room. Come find me if you need me and press that button there if you feel hungry before it's day time” he pointed at a big white button on the wall that looked like a switch. “ Okay thank you”“ You are welcome” there was absolutely no need to ask her to stop thanking him because she wouldn't.“Alex?”He was almost at the door when he heard her call him in a soft voice. He whirled around to look at her, “Yes?”“Thank you so much,” she told him.His lips spread in a wide smile. He had just thought of stopping her from thanking him and just as he thought, she couldn't be stopped, “You are welcome, goodnight”.“Sleep we
HomeThat was the first thought that entered Scarlett's mind as Alex placed his hand on the small of her back and led her inside the white mansion. It was the typical muscular man's house, but the ambience of the place was peaceful and welcoming.“I like it. It's beautiful” Scarlett complimented the house after Alex had taken her for a tour. She could not remember the last time she entered a beautiful place like this. Was the last time when she was still living with her father in his mansion, or when she went to their pack house to see Liam after his rejection? Yeah, the last one was correct. The pack house was a gigantic house, even bigger than this Alex mansion. It was equally as beautiful as this place. “Yeah, I'm glad that you like it because you will be living here” Alex told her “ I will be living here?” she thought he brought her to see his house before he would take her to where she was going to be staying. Surely, they won't be living together, right? “What about you?”He m
“So am I to sign something?”“What?” Alex looked up from his cup of ice cream at Scarlett.“Like a document. Is that not how it's done? Or are we just going to do a verbal agreement?” Scarlett asked, confusion was visible in her eyes as she stared at Alex who was sitting on the other side of the table.They were outside to eat ice cream, since that's what Scarlett wanted. She has been the one to bring up the issue of the job he would be giving to her. She was eager to resume work already and also visit different places here. Sadly, she could only visit different places when she was well settled in and had made some money. “Do you want us to sign a legal document?" “Of course” she looked at him like he had grown two heads, “if you were employing someone else that's not me, won't this person sign something? What kind of job are you giving to me anyway?” She did not want to do a hard labor job like serving customers. Not only was it a hard job, it was degrading and led people to talk
