I teased, “Yeah Reagan, google says so.” Reagan laughed then winced. Dr April ran in. She said, “Let’s check you.” Reagan added, “And get the drugs. Drugs are on the list.” Dr April cautiously replied, “We will see how far along you are.” She checked her and nodded, “You’re three centimeters dilated. Has your water broken?” Reagan answered, “No.”
Dr April told her, “We will give it a little bit to see if as you progress your water breaks. Once you get to five centimeters though, I can give you the epidural and break your water. This pup seems to be taking his or her time.” I questioned, “You still don’t know?” Reagan said, “At a certain point I said we’d be surprised. They’ve known for a while now, but I just wanted Cameron to tell me.”
I told her, “I’ll have Haley pop back and get him.” She grabbed my hand and squeezed through a contraction. I told her, “I can stay, Reagan.” She shook her head, “No, no you get back. Just send me Cameron.” She didn’t let go of my hand. Haley smiled.
I sat down asking, “Why don’t we just hang out for a minute?” Reagan agreed, “I guess if you want.” I smiled, “I do.” Haley crossed her arms, “Whatever Lexi says is the fucking law today. She even has a crown.” I admitted, “I love it.” Haley replied, “It’s very you.”
Reagan told me, “It looks great!” Chase almost had a coronary when he saw you in that dress.” Reagan winced for a few seconds then said, “You should’ve heard Alpha Eric’s growl when Haley walked out.” Haley blushed. I said, “I bet I missed a few growls.” Reagan chuckled, “Frank growled and asked Nadine if this was her way of trying to get knocked up.” I laughed, “Don’t you guys have to be in heat?”
Reagan answered, “Yes. Yes, we do. Which Frank knows. Frank also knew you picked out the dress, not Nadine.” I questioned, “So, I got everyone going? Did Matt growl?” Reagan admitted, “He did.” I chuckled, “Did everyone hear our wedding is the Oprah of mates?” Reagan snorted, “I did hear that.”
Haley asked several questions, “What? Who? What the fuck does that mean?” I explained, “Oprah is a show host…” Haley interrupted, “Your wedding can’t be a fucking person!” I agreed, “True. I just meant lots of people got their mates today.”
Reagan jumped in, “Yup! Cameron said it was mate after mate. Beta Dylan was ecstatic.” Haley asked, “My friend Dylan was happy? Why?” I laughed, “Didn’t Eric tell you?” Haley answered, “Eric has….” Reagan interrupted, “Had his tongue down her throat every five seconds. He keeps taking her out of the wedding and coming back. If I had the snapping abilities to not look as thoroughly fucked as your bestie does after Cameron and I sneak away I’d do it as much as they do it too.” Haley winked.
I teased her, “Did you at least get cake?” Haley eventually admitted, “.... Not yet.” I laughed, “Where were you and Eric when I texted you?” Haley huffed, “The damn hallway, ok?” I laughed, “You’d just fucked, and you popped away from him?” Haley smirked admitting, “Maybe.” I shook my head saying, “Oh lord. Did he link you?” Haley nodded, “He knows where we are and why, but don’t worry he’s not going to say a damn word. I made him promise.”
I pointed out, “He’s not a fairy.” Haley said, “Eric doesn’t break promises to me anymore.” I grumbled, “I’d have clocked his ass if I’d been around when he broke the first one.” Reagan blew out a breath saying, “That sounds like a story. Let’s have it. Distract the she wolf in labor.”
Haley explained, “At the summit he didn’t ask my side about that Claudzilla shit. He heard her side in the elevator, which was a fucking lie, and went off on me. He was charmed though, so he couldn’t help it.” Reagan burst into laughed, “YOU CALL CLAUDIA HARDEN CLAUDZILLA?!”
Haley grumbled, “I’ve decided that’s her damn name and no one will convince me otherwise.” Reagan said, “I love you. We need statues of you to worship. Can you conjure me one? I’ll wave it Beta Dylan’s face and say neener neener!” Haley asked us, “What the fuck does that mean?” Reagan explained, “HAHA. It means HAHA!”
Haley groaned, “Why can’t people from this realm EVER say what things mean?” I laughed. Reagan said, “Anyway, is it true Asher Harder LICKED you like a creepy psycho?” Haley snapped her fingers and pointed at Reagan, “YES! THANK YOU! I said he was a creepy fucking psycho for that!”
Reagan gasped, “He actually did it?! Everyone knew Alpha Eric broke his hand, but I didn’t think anyone was actually dumb enough to do that to Alpha Eric Conners mate. People were debating at the summit and the Conners always shut down rumors about their pack. No one knew for sure.” Haley said, “I think Eric shared your opinion on being stunned someone did it to his mate.”
I bit my lip. Reagan said, “Damn. I’m hanging out with you guys the ENTIRE next summit. I missed the action not being near you.” Haley frowned, “You were there? Wait, why didn’t I fucking meet you? Everyfuckingone talked to us? Shit! Did I forget? I was having memory problems…”
Reagan interrupted, “You didn’t forget. I was there with Cameron, but I wasn’t actually a Luna at the time.” Huh? Haley asked, “So the fuck what? Bexley was there and met people.” Reagan explained, “The wolf meetings are for Luna, Alpha’s, and Beta’s.” Haley said, “You’re an Alpha’s mate; therefore you’re a fucking Luna.” Reagan laughed, “Packs don’t see it that way.”
Haley sighed, “Just when I think we’ve started ALL the work we have to fucking do to bring wolves to the right century another issue appears.” I pointed out, “It will keep us busy.” Haley said, “Any fucking one should be able to walk into the summit and say hi to someone.” I agreed, “You’ll get no arguments from me.”
Haley yelled, “Especially if they are fucking there! I mean they are there with someone. Did they make you hide in the back or something, Reagan?” Reagan snorted, “I mostly stayed in my room. I did come out for a few things.” I groaned. Haley said, “No one in our group did that.” Reagan laughed, “The Conners don’t do things the normal way. No one was about to tell Alpha Eric Conners to do something a certain way. He’d ignore them and do whatever he wanted to do anyway.”
Haley proudly stated, “Yes, he would. That’s my damn man.” I chuckled, “Yes, it is.” Reagan straightened, “God. I’m keeping you from your wedding reception. Get back there!” I assured her, “It’s not a big deal. I’m right where I need to be.”
Reagan said, “You really are the perfect Luna, but seriously go enjoy your reception. Meanwhile my little pup seems to be content to take his or her sweet time getting here. Send my husband on over with cake.” Dr April said, “You can’t eat anything, Luna Reagan.”
Reagan sighed, “Fine. Send my fine ass husband over here, and if he ate any damn cake, you have him gargle mouthwash so I can’t smell it.” Haley cackled, “I love her! That's amazing!” I agreed, “It kind of is. Let’s get back and tell her husband what’s going on.” Haley squeezed Reagan’s hand, “You got this. You’re a bad ass bitch.”
Reagan smiled, “Soon to be a bad ass bitch with drugs.” Dr April laughed. Haley said, “However your baby comes into the world you created LIFE and birthed it. That’s a bad ass bitch forever crown.” She quickly chanted giving Reagan the peace of the earth.
I agreed, “Haley’s right. Growing and birthing life is hard.” Reagan asked, “When is she not right?” Haley smiled brightly. I said, “We will be back over to meet my niece or nephew. I’m sure Frank will start pacing the corridor the second he hears you’re in labor.”
Dr April snorted, “He’ll drive my staff crazy again. I swear he’s worse for his grandpups than he was for his own.” I pointed out, “He got to be in the room then.” Dr April conceded, “You make an excellent point.” I laughed and Haley grabbed my hand. I winked at Reagan who smiled.
Haley popped us back upstairs at the venue. Chase grabbed me and Eric grabbed her. I teased him, “The groom and bride aren’t at their reception? How scandalous! What are you doing up here, husband?” Eric snorted, “And not for the usual reason the bride and groom are missing at the reception.”
Chase shot back, “I did hear you went missing at yours for a while.” Haley blushed. Eric smirked, “I do believe I heard people noticed we were missing.” I said, “Let’s get back down there.” Chase smacked my ass, “No disappearing acts, wifey.” I snorted.
We walked downstairs and everyone cheered. Chase announced, “I found her guys!” Everyone howled. Chase linked me, “Can’t be a runaway Luna Bride.” I said, “I wasn’t. I had a reason. Where’s Cameron?” Chase pointed over to the cake. I smiled and dragged him with me.
I warned my brother in law, “You might want to put that down.” Cameron groaned, “Aww why? I just made it over here!” I opened my mouth to tell him when I saw Sophia speaking in low tones on the phone outside.
I pointed to Chase saying, “That doesn’t look good.” He motioned to the other Alpha’s and we went outside. Sophia had hung up and was talking to Tyson. She yelled, “I can’t ruin his wedding!” Tyson argued, “They won’t see it that way. We need our allies.” Sophia cringed, “We can get the other ones that are here. We need to let Chase and Lexi enjoy their wedding!” Chase said, “I’m already outside. What do you need your allies for, Sophia?” She flushed then looked at me apologizing “I’m so sorry, Lexi.”
I assured her, “It’s fine. We are already married. What happened?” Sophia answered, “I have to go. Eddie is on the border of my pack getting ready to attack.” Heath flashed outside. Chase questioned, “How long do we have?” Sophia grimaced, “Enough time to run there.”
