10 A pup is born (10)

I wake up in the hospital to be told that I passed out. After running tests we find out we are having a pup. I guess it should have been expected because our sex life was very active.

The doctor wanted to keep me overnight to give me vitamins and fluids. They do an ultra sound too. I can hear the heartbeat of my pup. Tears are running down my face. Michael holds my hand. My dad rubbed my hair from my eyes, "Princess I am so proud of you." My mom was home with her own pup born on June 30th. I thought how close in age they would be. They can be friends growing up.

I asked the doctor, "When will my pup be due? When will we know if it's a boy or girl?" The doctor said that everything looks good. We should return in 6 weeks. Our pup is due March 22. At 16 weeks we can find out the sex. I slow down on my work with the pack and Michael treats me like a fragile doll. I remind him I'm strong daily. I love how gentle he is because I know he will be an excellent daddy.

At 16 weeks I go alone to my appointment to find out the sex. I tell no one. I want Michael to be surprised. Everyone tries to get me to tell but I'm very good at the secret keeping game. For months this goes on. We celebrate Thanksgiving for 3 days as a pack. Later we celebrate Christmas for 3 days as a family. Not all weres are into Christmas. We celebrate New Years as a pack and then Valentine's Day (couples normally but some families celebrate).

Valentine's Day Michael pulls out all the stops. Chocolate, a sexy dinner and some of the best sex ever. I still don't tell. I really want everyone to be surprised. I feel like it should be something special for him the first time. I tell him, "Babe, I know that I'm killing you by keeping it secret. I just want our first pup to be a surprise for his Daddy Wolf. I promise next time the doctor will only tell you."

At this point we start the nursery. I paint the nursery a soft yellow (moon mist) with a mint stripe(window pane). Then I hang beautiful baby art work.

The crib, dresser, and changing table are all white. The rocker and matching ottoman are also white. A rocking horse, a big teddy bear and a lot of baby toys are in the room. A beautiful rug, and hardwood floors are added.

I have to go to the doctor every week and then daily. I go into labor 3 days before the due date. It's a long process. My water breaks after 12 hours. I go to the hospital and then 4 hours later it's time to push. "Baby I'm right here. Anything you need love.", Michael says softly. I see the fear and worry in his face. I try not to be very loud. I push with everything I have. I hear the faint whimper of my pup. The doctor let's Michael cut the cord. "You have a fine healthy boy"., The doctor tells us.

Michael goes out to announce his birth to our family. We had been thinking about names for a long time. We decided on Michael Levi Brown. He is to be called Levi. Everyone is excited and happy to meet our pup. Michael comes back to the room. He kisses me passionately. Then he ask, "Ready to make another beautiful pup?". I punch him on the arm before kissing him. He puts a cool cloth on my head and I fall asleep.

When I wake up I find Michael holding our pup. He brings him over to feed. I give a sigh as the little one latches on to my breast. It hurts just a little bit but it also causes my uterus to tighten. I never was told about how it would feel. He nurses 15 minutes then I burp him. I switch sides and another 15. It is a long time to nurse but unlike humans wolves have enough for more than one pup. Plus the pup has stamina for suckling.

We need to stay in the pack clinic for 24 hours. They weight, measure, and print our pup. They take all kinds of tests and then they circumcise the little one. I feel so bad for him. I take very gentle care of his penis. His daddy wolf cringes at the sight of the wound.

Our little pup grows so fast. He walks but never crawls. I worry over skipped milestones but the pack doctor said it is expected. His language comes so fast that I'm not prepared for it. Since I speak English, Spanish and French, my pup does as well. Michael speaks Afrikaans, English, Dutch, and can mind link snakes. We find that our pup can as well.

He begins to get muscle mass before his first birthday. It scares me how fast his development is. My sister was born first but is way behind Levi. The pack doctor said he thinks it's normal but he has requested that the Royal Pack doctor take a look. The Royal doctor reported that everything looks normal.

We have a small first year party for both Levi and Marguerite. Marguerite is so small next to Levi. My mom is afraid for them to play together. She is afraid that Levi will hurt Marguerite. Levi hears my mother talking about it. He walks over to my mom and says, "I will never hurt my Aunt Marguerite and I will protect her with my life." I hug him so tight because he is a little man. A true leader of our future pack.

Michael looks into my eyes with a we need to talk look. I take his hand and we walk away from the group. "Love, I think that we may need to take Levi to Africa for a few years. He needs to know his heritage of both sides. He could be in grave danger here.", Michael sounds really stressed. "I will agree after his 5th birthday. He is my baby and I want to teach him everything I can before he goes off to be a warrior.", I said softly.

We both teach our little pup everything we know. We make sure he knows our plan to send him to Africa to learn from his Grandfather at age 5. I don't want him to think he is being replaced so I refuse to have another pup until he ask for a sibling. At age 3 Levi approaches me, "Mommy?" He looks up at me with his most beautiful smile. "Yes little man.", I replied. "Why can't I have a brother or sister like you have?", he ask so sweetly.

"I never said you couldn't have siblings little man. I just wanted you to ask for them because I don't want you to think you are being replaced. I loved you first.", this may be more than he can comprehend so I wait patiently to see what he says. "Mommy I know that you love me. I see it in your eyes and your actions. You give me everything I need or even want. Now I want a brother to fight with or a sister to have tea.", he says like a grown man.

"I will talk it over with your Daddy wolf.", I say before he returns to his play time. I take out my phone and text [Michael we have a job to do tonight, please come home early. ]. I put clean sheets on the bed, get the tub ready for a special bath, and prepare strawberries, whipped cream, with champagne.

When Michael gets home he finds rose petals leading to our room. He comes in to our room asking, "Love, what is going on?" I take his jacket off, then his tie. I unbutton his shirt and remove it. Everything is quiet so he asked, "Where is Levi?". I softly whisper in his ear, "Mom has Levi for the night because he request that we do our parental duty. " Michael just has his brows in a bunch, "What parental duty?"

"The one where we supply a sibling. ", I tell him while pulling his belt off. I swat him playfully with the leather belt before running into the bathroom. Michael finishes undressing while I fill the bath. He joins me in the nude. We begin to kiss and make out before we get into the tub.

"I want you so bad honey.", I've missed our love making. We hardly ever have time for sex anymore because we both work and devote ourselves to Levi. Michael pulls me down into the warm water with him. We make love in the tub, in the shower, on the counter, in the bed and in front of the fireplace. We fall asleep in each others embrace.

"Bri, Can we devote one night a week to us from now on?", Michael put his forehead on mine while awaiting my answer. "Yes, my love. Now that I know our pup understands that we love him first then I'm ready to be more loving to each other. I'm no longer worried. " I reply.

We have our date night once a week. Our sex life is outstanding at this point. We celebrate Mother's Day by the lake. My favorite place to be. I enjoy the water, the sand, the view of the mountains in the distance and even the mosquitoes cant bother me. We camp out, go fishing and even hunt a little bit.

Having gone to the doctor before our trip I know that I am limited to what I can do. I give little man a bath in the lake before bed. I dress him in a special tshirt that says I'm the Big brother.

Michael says, "Come here little man, where did that blue tshirt come from? Let me read that.". Levi just runs and jumps on his dad. Michael reads the shirt, "I'm the Big brother. " They both look at me. I just giggle, "Yep! We are having another pup!".
