Chapter 18: Gabriel

Gabriel sighed as the warm piss drained out of him. His bladder was constantly full. It seemed if the omega wasn’t drinking tea, he was drinking Grey’s blood. As Gabriel grew in girth, the baby pressed harder on his bladder, making it necessary to empty it more frequently. Lately, he’d become sluggish, but the doctors told him he was healthy. His blood pressure was a bit high, but basically under control. The question remained: why was this happening to him?

Angela and Bridges came by the house in the trees to let Grey know they were heading back to Cascade City.

“We’ve done all we can,” Angela said. “Keep drinking the different teas for your blood pressure, and hopefully you’ll go to term this time. We’ll take the blood, urine, and semen samples we took from the pack and continue our studies in Cascade City.”

“Do you have any ideas about why this is happening to Gabriel?” Grey asked the two doctors.

Angela glanced at Bridges. “Not really. We do, however, believe there’s a reason. Oh, I almost forgot. Do you know which of you sired this baby?”

“No. We know I sired Finny, but there’s a possibility Ian sired this baby,” Grey said. “Ian hasn’t been able to conceive, but we don’t know that he’s sterile.”

“We can find that out for you, if you’d like,” Bridges offered.

A cold chill blew over Gabriel as he sat silent.

Grey glanced at Ian. “You can do that?”

Angela nodded. “From the semen samples we took.”

“Does it really matter?” Ian asked.

“No, not if you don’t want to know,” Grey said. “It’s enough for me to know Finny’s mine.” He looked at Angela. “Why do you ask?”

“I don’t want to worry you,” the doctor said. “I just thought if the baby’s born ill, a mixture of the parents’ blood would be beneficial. It’s just a thought.”

“Are you expecting something to go wrong?” Grey’s sharp tone made Gabriel tilt his head, offering his neck to his alpha. The pack alpha stroked the omega’s hair in apology.

“No, not at all,” Angela said. “I’m just trying to foresee any potential threats.”

“Werewolves have been having babies without a problem for centuries,” Grey reminded her. “And we’re perfectly capable of giving the child our blood.”

“What’s happening to Gabriel isn’t normal,” Angela reminded the pack alpha.

“Perhaps we could arrange for Angela to be here for the birth,” Ian said.

Gabriel raised his head in time to see Ian’s hopeful look at the human doctor.

Angela nodded. “I can try. Angel Hills is only an hour’s drive from Cascade City.” She pulled something from her bag and showed it to Ian and Grey. “This is a medical alert necklace. Press the button when Gabriel goes into labor, and I’ll do my best. I can’t promise, though. Without a phone, there’s no way for you to be sure I got the message, and if I’m in surgery, I won’t be able to come immediately. I’ll program it so it will reach Bridges, too, in case I can’t come at all.
