One night, as we lay in bed, Lily moves around as usual trying to find a comfortable position. She keeps rubbing
her stomach and pulling my hand over her to calm Cara, since our little girl is especially responsive toand
Donovan. When that doesn’t help, | move down, letting Donovan cforward. He
begins purring to Cara, trying to soothe her.
Lily has been having Braxton-Hicks contractions so we've becsomewhat accustomed to her stomach
contracting as we touch and hold her. Usually, our touch can calm the contractions, but tonight. it’s not helping.
Lily keeps shifting around and even Donovan's purring doesn’t seem to be helping.
All at once, | feel the bed go wet under me. My head pops up and | look at my mate. Her eyes are wide as
she looks atthen down at her body.
“Clint.” She says, looking back at me. “I think it’s time.”
I'm out of bed in an instant. I'm rushing around trying to remember what I'm supposed to do.
“Okay. Breathe.” | take several breaths trying to calm myself, when that doesn’t work. | start pacing.”
We're supposed to stay calm.” | turn to my mate. “Are you calm?”
My mate has gotten up off the bed and is moving to the closet. She looks atlike I'm crazy, her brows
furrowing. “Yeah, are you?”

“Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm calm. I'm really calm.” | feel like my head is bobbing up and down like one of those things
humans put on the dashboard of their car. My brain has completely emptied of everything.
My pup is coming!
“Get your fucking head out of your ass and help our mate!” Donovan yells at me.
I look up and see that Lily has grabbed her bag that has been packed for weeks. “Here, I'll take that!” |
say, thankful that | can do something for her. | throw the bag over my shoulder and look at Lily.
She looks atfor a minute. “We need to get to the car.” She says tovery slowly as if I'm too stupid
to understand her.
“Right! Car!”
| take off down the stairs and rush out to get in the car. | put her bag in the car and get in the driver side. |
put the car in drive and Donovan starts yelling in my head again.
“You're leaving our mate you moron!” | throw the car in park and as | open the door, Donovan forces a
shift.
‘Donovan, what the fuck?”
“You're acting like a crazed man. You're a fucking Guardian and you're acting like an idiot. I'm taking
over.”

He grabs the bag out of the car with his teeth and runs back into the packhouse and up the stairs. Lily is holding
on to the walls trying to get down the hall. Donovan gently walks up to her, leaning against her as she has a
contraction.
“Hey Donovan. Did you get tired of Clint acting stupid?”
He chuffs at her.
“I'm sorry Lily bud. | freaked out. I'm good now.” | say to her in the mind link.
She turns and looks at Donovan, raising her eyebrow. “Is he?” She asks him.
“Don’t know, don’t care. I'll get you and our pup to the pack hospital. Get on my back.”
Donovan lays down on the floor and once the contraction passes, Lily climbs onto his back. Anders door opens
and he looks out. “Lily? What's going on? Why is Donovan here?”
“I'm in labor. Clint freaked out and Donovan took over.”
“Do you need help?”

“No, Donovan will take good care of us.”
“I'll get Calista up and have someone cto watch Rik. We'll meet you at the pack hospital”
Donovan stands and begins to gently walk down the stairs. Lily holds on tight and once he’s outside, he begins
to move as fast as he can without jostling her.
When we get to the hospital, he walks in howling. He needn't have bothered. Anders obviously let them know we
were coming. A nurse comes to help Lily off Donovan's back and helps her walk to a delivery room. Lily has
another contraction as | shift back, rushing up to hold her.
“Welcback, mate.” She says through gritted teeth.
| get her into bed and settled. They hook her up to machines that will monitor her heart rate and Cara's. The
doctor comes in and checks her. “You're doing well, Lily. It won't be long now.
| turn and look at my mate, her face screwed up with her next contraction. “Have | told you today how much |
love you and how wonderful you are, Lily bud.”
“I love you too, and no matter what | say to you between now and when our daughter is born, don’t forget
that!”
Over the next couple of hours, my mate curses my nto the Moon Goddess and anyone that would listen. But
in the end, she delivered the most beautiful, precious little girl a father could ever ask for.
