#wolfkris

“Guys, remember what I said or I swear you will be sleeping outside for a week.” Yifan’s voice was full of warning as you stood outside with your beautiful bundle in your arms.

“Just let us see the baby!” Baekhyun whined.

Yifan had gathered the entire family into the living room to meet your new baby. The two of you had requested no visitors in the hospital so that the three of you could enjoy some peace before going home to a full house of family.

Surprisingly, the family was okay with that. However, now that you were home and the wolves could smell the baby they were antsy to see the new addition to their family.

You hadn’t told them the gender yet, either.

You smiled down at the baby whose eyes had begun to open from the noise coming inside of the house. “Ready, my love?” You asked, moving some of the blanket in the process.

“Baekhyun, you’re the number one offender most of the time. Did you wash your hands?”

“Yes!”

“He did, I was in the bathroom with him.” Jongdae perked up.

“Ew, why were you in there together?” Chanyeol asked.

“I want to see the baby. Can you please shut up?” Jongdae’s mate snapped.

Yifan had left the room and come out to the front porch where you were waiting. “Are you sure about this? We can move, you know. Buy a house of our own.”

You smiled and leaned forward to kiss his lips. “Baby, we agreed that raising our kids here would be good for the time being. We can’t all raise our families together in this house, but while we wait to find the perfect house we can stay here.”

He sighed, knowing you were right and that this had already been decided beforehand. He peered down at your child and smiled, “I didn’t think it was possible to love someone as much as I do you.” He cooed.

“Aww thanks, baby.” You answered with a sarcastic smile.

He chuckled, “You know you’re my number one. My heart is big enough for everyone.” He walked behind you and placed a big hand on the small of your back while he led you into the house.

As you turned the corner you braced yourself for the onslaught of men and women, but surprisingly they were all seated still. You smiled at them and tilted the baby up enough so they could see the face.

“I KNEW IT WAS A GIRL, CHANYEOL OWES ME $60!” Jongdae declared loudly.

The baby startled and immediately began to cry and Yifan was in front of you in a second. “That’s it. You guys all failed. No one can see her now. You made her cry, I’m moving. We’re leaving.”

“No! I’m sorry! I’m not around babies a lot!”

You laughed and with a bit of bouncing and rocking your daughter was quickly calmed. “Yifan, relax, let them see her.”

Your husband sighed, but moved out of the way so the family could take turns walking up and seeing their new niece. They were all immediately in love and fighting over who got to hold her first.

“She’s beautiful, isn’t she?” Yifan was at your shoulder smiling fondly at his baby girl. He kissed the side of your face as he held you close.

“I can’t believe she’s real. She’s so tiny, I don’t want to hold her. She’s too little, she’ll break.” Sehun looked over the baby carefully.

“I, for one, wish Yifan would stop growling every time one of us tries to touch her.” Baekhyun pouted on the couch.

You smiled and looked up at your husband. “He will relax, he’s been sleeping these past couple of nights, but that won’t last.”

He leaned down and kissed your lips, “I said I was sorry, I sleep really heavy!” He told you after he pulled away.

“Well one thing is for sure,” Joonmyeon’s mate spoke up from her spot next to him on the couch. “That is going to be the most loved little girl in this house.”

You prepared yourself for childbirth. You and Yifan took the classes you needed to take, you read books, you talked to your own mother and his; you were as ready as you were going to be.

Yet somehow, when you walked into the kitchen and felt your water break, fear hit you instantly. You stood there, unable to control the liquid flowing between your legs into a puddle on the floor, and all you could think to say was “Well, at least it’s not on the carpet.”

Joonmyeon’s mate stepped in immediately. She fluttered into a better emergency mode than you would have ever dreamed of. She took you upstairs and changed you while Jongdae’s mate cleaned up the kitchen. Although, you argued heavily that you should be the one to clean it.

You let her change your clothes, grab your go-bag, and take you back downstairs in under 20 minutes. You were in a daze, was this really happening? You’d lived with this baby inside of you for 9 months. You had felt them move, kick, respond to you in their own way. Could you really bring them into the world?

“Yifan’s on his way to the hospital, it will be quicker if he just meets us there.” Joonmyeon stood at the bottom of the stairs, his phone and keys in his hand.

“You don’t have to stop working and take me.” You told him, feeling guilty.

Joonmyeon blinked for a moment, just staring at you. It was rare to catch him off guard, you wondered what it was that made him freeze.

“Sweetheart, you can’t drive.” His mate spoke up from beside you.

You shrugged, “Why not? The contractions are still small and really far apart.”

Joonmyeon smiled and gently took the bag from his mate, “I’ll be in the car.” He told her, leaving her to deal with your apparent denial.

She got you to the front door before the wave of emotion crashed into you. You grabbed her arm and looked at her in complete fear, “I can’t do this.”

She was firm in her response, but her smile was gentle and warm, “Yes, you absolutely can do this.”

Tears were spilling down your cheeks, “I can’t. I can’t be a mom, you’re the mom of the pack not me. I bought all of them beer underage multiple times.”

She snorted and shook her head, “You’re going to be a wonderful mom.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I know you. I know your heart. I know the love between you and Yifan. And I know what you’re about. The two of you are going to be the best parents to this baby.”

“What if it comes out as a wolf.”

“They don’t turn into wolves until puberty. And there’s a 50% chance they won’t be one anyway.”

“Oh my God, what if it’s not a wolf? Is Yifan going to be mad?”

“Hardly. Probably more relieved if he were honest.”

You were breathing a bit more normal at this point, “Okay.”

“Okay?”

“Okay.”

She continued walking with you to the car, her hand in yours until she had to close the door behind you and it was just you and Joonmyeon.

You hadn’t been alone with Joonmyeon very many times. You hadn’t been with hardly any of Yifan’s brothers alone seeing as how there were so many of them in the pack. The silence was only uncomfortable for a moment before Joonmyeon suddenly reached over and grabbed your hand. He squeezed it comfortably and continued driving while holding it.

You stared at your hands clasped together for a long moment before looking up at him.

He turned and smiled at you gently, “He told me to. And I’m instructed not to let go until he can take over. He sensed your panic.”

You nodded, Yifan would instruct Joonmyeon to do something like that. “Thanks, Myeon.”

“Hey, you’re my sister, remember? If I can help at all I feel better. Plus that’s my little niece or nephew in there. We got to make sure the whole family is calm and collected.”

You snorted, “I can’t promise to remain calm and collected, but I can promise to squeeze the life out of your hand in complete fear until Yifan gets to us.”

Joonmyeon squeezed your hand once more, “Do your best.”

The drive to the hospital went smoother than you anticipated, and Joonmyeon held true to his word, never letting go of your hand the entire time. When he pulled up to the hospital entrance Yifan was standing on the sidewalk waiting for you anxiously.

When he opened the door he had a look of worry on his face, “Baby, are you ready?”

You nodded, you turned to Joonmyeon and smiled, “You’re the best.”

He squeezed your hand once more before letting go as Yifan took the other, “I don’t know what to say to a woman going to give birth. So I’m just going to tell you I love you.”

You felt tears fill your eyes, “I love you too, Myeon.”

Yifan pulled you out of the car and pressed his lips to yours. Like always, it flooded you with calm. “You’re the strongest person I know,” he told you quietly, “you got this.”

You nodded, and together, hand in hand, you walked with your husband into the hospital to deliver your first baby. _______

You stood on the very tips of your toes and reached as far as you could for the glass jar of jelly. “Fucking Chanyeol always puts shit on the top shelf…” You mutter to yourself angrily as your fingers glide over the jar. You feel it give way and head your direction, but as you went to grab it, it slipped and fell to the floor.

With a loud, clattering crash you stared at the broken shards of jelly and glass surrounding your feet.

“Babe? You alright?”

You looked up to see Yifan walking into the kitchen. He eyed the glass and frowned, “Don’t move, alright? Let me go grab the mop and broom.” He disappeared for a moment and you continued staring around you at the mess.

There was jelly everywhere. It was all over the cabinets, all over the floor, and all over you. You suddenly felt yourself overwhelmed with emotion. Your bottom lip quivered and your burst into tears.

When Yifan returned he stared at you in shock. “Are you crying? Babe…” He kicked a path to you and wrapped his arms around you, “it’s okay don’t cry. I’ll make one of the boys clean it up, okay?”

You sniffed and nodded, too upset to get out anything more. He led you upstairs and you decided to calm down with a nap. _____

You ended up sleeping eleven solid hours, entirely through the night without interruption. You woke up promptly at 5:30 in the morning and felt a horrific churn of your stomach. You ran into the bathroom, barely hunching over the toilet in time to throw up what little was in your stomach. You heeved over and over, almost passing out from the lack of air before you finally caught a break.

You sat back against the wall and let out a shaky breath. Your limbs were weak, your entire body was aching and you were covered in sweat.

Yifan opened the door and peaked his head in, “What can I do?” He asked you with a worried gaze.

You turned to look up at him, “Water,” you whispered hoarsely. Your throat was on fire from all of the bile burning it’s way up.

He left and came back with a huge glass of water and you sipped it slowly.

“Should we go to the doctor?” He asked you tentatively as he wet a wash cloth and pressed it to your forehead. “No, I feel fine. Just take me back to bed? I’m too weak to stand up.”

You could tell he didn’t like it, but he lifted you off of the floor and carried you back to bed regardless. _____

Another few hours of sleep and you woke feeling refreshed and much better. Passing it off as some weird bug you showered and dressed and bounded down the stairs to find your husband in the kitchen.

“Babe! You look like you’re feeling better.” He greeted you with a kiss and you nodded.

“I feel much better, actually.”

You heard Joonmyun’s mate enter the house carrying a few bags of groceries with her. She saw you and grinned, “Glad to see you up and about! She placed the bags on the counter and immediately pulled one aside. “I grabbed these while I was out, since we are always around the same time I figured I would grab a box.” She handed you the bag and you looked inside to see the box of tampons.

You smiled and thanked her and headed upstairs with the bag to put it in the bathroom. As you put the box under the sink you tried to think about your last period. What day had it been? You kept track on your phone’s calendar so you picked it up and scrolled through to the previous month. And then you swallowed deeply.

You were 2 weeks late.

How did you not realize this?

You felt the blood leave your body and you had to sit down. You took a few deep breaths and decided that it was nothing to freak out about until you got a test. _____

Two lines.

Two lines were positive.

Two lines meant that there was a baby growing inside of you.

Two fucking lines, how did you miss this? Usually the two of you were careful during mating season, but this time around had been a bit early and thrown you off.

Not that you didn’t want a baby with your husband, but you were both young and you had hoped to wait a few more years. You were enjoying being young and newlywed and full of life.

Not that a baby would take that away, it would just change things.

Having a baby would change everything.

You stared at stick in your hands and a knock on the bathroom door made you jump and it fell into the sink.

“Babe? Are you okay? Are you sick again?” You heard Yifan’s voice.

“I’m fine!” You answered him quickly.

You looked back down to the stick, you know you needed to tell him, you just weren’t sure how.

When you came out of the bathroom a few minutes later you saw him laying on your bed. He looked up at you with a worried gaze.

“You were in there a long time, are you okay? I’m worried about you….” He pouted and his eyes grew larger and you felt like crying again.

This was ridiculous, the hormones weren’t even supposed to be this effective this early on, but you assumed your husband being a werewolf had something to do with it.

You had the little stick behind your back and you felt your cheeks grow hot. Why was this weird? You were feeling shy so you just marched to the bed and handed it to him.

Of course, he had no idea what the hell it was.

“Am I supposed to know what this means, baby?” He asked you, flipping it over in his hands and looking back up at you confused.

You nodded, “That is what it means.”

He looked absolutely befuddled and you rolled your eyes.

“Baby.”

“What?”

“Yifan! It means we’re having a baby! I’m pregnant!” You glared at him and watched his pitiful state as he processed what you were saying. “A baby?” He asked again.

You nodded, this time you smiled a little. “We made a baby.”

He was still in shock, “Really? A baby?”

You scoffed and crawled on to the bed and laid on top of him, “Yes, I will have a giant child who doesn’t know what a pregnancy test is. And an actual child.”

He grinned and wrapped his arms around you, “Wow. A baby.” He said again, but this time it was more with admiration and disbelief.
