Elena POV
Two Months Later.
Jake had a friend in the city who was an obstetrician and owed him a favor. So for a check–up we went to see her. She was a little quirky but nice as she checked me over before doing the ultrasound. I couldn‘t wipe the smile off my face as I stared down at the ultrasound picture in my hand, two identical twin boys. Both were healthy and seemingly okay despite everything we had endured.
“I can‘t wait to get home to show Alisha,” I tell Jake.
“Thank you,” I tell him, glancing at him. He stared out the windshield, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, so tightly the skin looked on the verge of splitting across his knuckles.
“You’re welcome, Elena,” Jake tells me, turning his head to smile at me. I stare down at the picture in my hand of my babies. Werewolf pregnancies were only six months and time was flying by, each day my belly growing larger and rounder as they grew inside me..
Sighing I stared out the window, I had been with Jake for two months now and things were going great between us! Alisha
had moved in with us after word got out that things were uneasy in the city. The city had become a prison for everyone trapped there. Axton ruled it with an iron fist. And it had been weeks since Alisha had heard from her parents which meant it was unsafe for them to contact her and also unsafe for her to return.
“We just need to stop by the rogue settlement first,” Jake tells me, and my brows furrow. He only went out there two days ago?
“But you just dropped supplies off, you said not until next week?”
“I will be quick,” he tells me. I sigh and nod my head.
“You‘re not seriously mad right now, I just drove you 2 hours to see a doctor for kids that aren‘t even fucking mine, you can wait an extra 30 minutes to see Alisha for fucks sake,” Jake snaps angrily and I look at him. His jaw was clenched and Lexa stirred uncomfortably within me.
“Jake?” I ask, wondering where his sudden outburst of anger came from.
“You two are too dependent on each other it‘s fucking annoying,” he snaps and I look out the window. I didn‘t get what he was so angry about, everything was fine a few seconds ago. I went over everything I said on the car trip, trying to work out what I did or said that angered him. And he has never expressed
anything bad about me being pregnant and I found his words quite shocking and his tone. He never spoke to me like this before.
I say nothing on the drive to settlement and Lexa was just as confused. “What did you say?” she asked me but I had no idea what I did to deserve his sudden anger.
“I don‘t like him angry, I can almost smell his anger?” she says and my brows furrow at her words when we suddenly pull up at the settlement and Jake hops out, slamming the door a little hard and making me jump not having realized we had pulled up already
Jake is gone for about twenty minutes while I sat in the car, this was only the second time I had come out here, and seeing one of the women by the clothesline I hop out needing fresh air, figuring I would say hello. However, when I climb out of the car she looks over at me before looking at the warehouse and waving me away, shooing me.
“Hi, I am Elena,”
“Get in the car, go before he sees me speaking to you,”
“Huh, who sees me?” I ask her while glancing around and she quickly turns back to the clothesline. I was about to walk over to her when Jake comes out.
“Ready?” he says jogging over to me, he drapes his arm across my shoulders and kisses my forehead.
“Yeah, I..” | glance at the girl with wavy dark hair by the clothesline, pegging up baby clothes.
“What‘s wrong? Did Selia say something to upset you,” he asks looking at the girl at the clothesline.
“What? No, never mind, I was about to come looking for you,“| tell him.
“Well, here I am,” he tells me with a laugh before kissing my temple. He reeked of the women here, almost as if he rolled around in their clothes or they scented him. He always did come back reeking of them but never this strongly.
Jake opens my door, “Come on, I bet Alisha can‘t wait to see the ultrasounds,” he says closing my door. I glanced out the window at the girl who didn‘t even glance in our direction until Jake started reversing out before turning the car around.
“Is everything okay?” I ask him and he looks at me.
“Of course, why wouldn‘t it be,” he tells me, smiling sweetly. I began wondering if I imagined his odd behavior, his mood switching and something was nagging at me, and Lexa yet once we reached home that was forgotten when excitement took over as I rushed into the store where Alisha was covering for
Jake.
| show her the picture and let her know I am having two boys, she bounces on her feet excitedly clutching the small film in her hands.
“I‘m going to be an aunty, Oh now we can start picking out names,” she tells me excitedly when Jake walks in behind me.
“How did it go, was everything fine here?” he asks her.
“Yes, quiet day,” she tells Jake and he wanders off when she calls out to him.
“Oh your delivery came I had to stack it in the fridge you forgot to leave the keys for the basement, I am hoping nothing defrosted,” she tells him.
“I will move it down there now,”
“Want some help?” I offer him.
“Nah, you two talk babies or whatever it is you are talking about,” he says waving me off and I turn my attention back to Alisha who was gushing excitedly.
I tell her about the girl at the settlement which she thinks is odd, yet I didn‘t tell her about Jake yelling at me in the car, convinced I must have imagined it or I was daydreaming. It was so unlike
him and even Lexa was questioning if it was all in our head.
“Maybe tell Jake about what she said, you should have told him; what if some creeper has been out there,” Alisha says.
“Tell me what?” Jake asks, walking past with a box headed toward the basement.
“Nothing, just what the girl at the settlement said to her,” Jake tilts his head to the side before setting the box down.
“Why, what did she say?” he asks.
“Nothing I must have misheard her,” I lie unsure why I was lying. I barely knew the girl but something told me not to tell Jake.
Alisha sighs. “She told her to get back in the car before she was seen talking to her, or something, you should check that out Jake, what if some creep was out there, I can go with you. I haven‘t been for a run in ages,” Alisha offers.
“That is odd, I will speak with them tomorrow and find out what is going on, might install some cameras for peace of mind,”
“You‘re going back tomorrow?” I ask him. He rummages in his pocket pulling out a piece of paper and handing it to me. I take it and find a list of supplies they need and quickly nod my head.
“Grab a box while you‘re down there, I will help Elena find all this
stuff,” Alisha sings out after him.
“Yep, will do,” he calls out walking down to the basement.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
