Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 76: Epilogue

7 months later

Allison : You’d be so sweet if you’d smile!

Instead I give her the finger. Lydia and Allison had the brilliant idea of taking me to one of her clothes shops for pregnant women. Needless to say, all the clothes seem to come from the “adorable little world of unicorns and glitter”.

Me: Don’t they sell clothes that go with my mood?

Lydia: No, they don’t sell t-shirts that say “I’m unpleasant”!

She smiles, accompanied by Allison. I suddenly feel like crying

Me: I’m sorry, girls… you’re so sweet to me and I’m… obnoxious!

I sniff to swallow my tears and get angry

Me: Bloody hormone shit!

All the staff turn round.

Me: Sorry…

They go back to what they were doing. I look down at my pale pink blouse with ruffles. I sigh and look at my friends

Me: Shall we take it?

Lydia: Yes!

Back home

I look at myself in our bedroom mirror from every angle, lifting up that blouse to see my round belly. I don’t hear Stiles enter the room and notice his presence when he embraces me from behind.

Stiles: You look beautiful, Hannah.

I smile softly and snuggle into his arms.

Me: I love you

Scott: What kind of crap is this about building a crib for a nine month old?!

Stiles: Stop complaining and screw!

Scott: I’m screwing while complaining, I tell you!

Me: Are you sure you don’t want any help?

Stiles and Scott: No!

Me: Well shut up!

I sink into the sofa. For two weeks now, I’ve been forbidden to do anything under the orders of the two boys who act as my brother and boyfriend, and it’s getting on my nerves. I’m an ancient warrior and I’m treated like a convalescent mouse.

Mum: Aah, that brings back memories!

I smile at her but I feel something sink in and I tense up.

Mum: Oh Hannah! You’ve lost your bones!

Stiles and Scott: WHAT?!?

I hear someone knocking followed by Stiles grunting. Scott comes running in first followed by Stiles holding his head. Everyone around me starts to get agitated.

Stiles: Where’s the suitcase?!

Scott: Did you put the baby seat in the Jeep?!

Stiles: Where did I put the keys?!?

Another contraction. I g***n and Stiles rushes over to help me cutting through the irritation and we walk down the stairs to the house with the keys finally found.

Scott: I’ll tell the girls!

I don’t answer anything and get into the passenger seat, helped by Stiles. He gets behind the wheel and drives off. I shake Stiles’ hand when I have another contraction.

Stiles: Hannah, you’re breaking my hand!

Me: I’ll fix it, shut up!

I squeeze even harder with the pain and Stiles holds back from screaming. We arrive at the hospital and Stiles helps me towards the reception desk where a nurse comes to sit me on a wheelchair.

I’m taken to a room and put on a bed. After much screaming, pain and exhaustion, I find myself with my baby in the crook of my arms. Little Logan looking around, completely fascinated by the world. Tears of happiness stream down my cheeks and Stiles’.

Me: He’s beautiful.

He nods and settles down beside me, our newborn in the middle, sleeping peacefully wrapped in the white blanket given to him by the hospital. I look at Stiles’ hand, which is covered in a bandage. I grab it and heal it. We look at each other before kissing tenderly, paying careful attention to the little creature. I couldn’t be happier than I am right now

Stiles: Marry me

I look at him to make sure he’s serious and when I’m sure, I k**s him and say the words that will seal our fate forever.

Me: Yes I do
