Chapter 16
âYou need to take it easy for the next few weeks,â Ben said, rising to his feet. âIâd like to do a complete physical exam if you donât mind. Iâll need to do further research on some of the diseases we have on whether they are contagious to humans. This is going to be complicated due to the fact that we donât have any case studies. I donât want to give her any kind of medication that might have an adverse effect.â
âI am healthy,â Ella stated, lifting her leg to rub her ankle. âYou are as bad as Thomas.â
âWho is Thomas?â Ben asked.
Ella shook her head and lowered her eyes. She rubbed at her throbbing ankle. Ben had been gentle enough, but he had poked, prodded, and manipulated it to see if he could feel anything. He suggested that she soak her ankle twice a day and do something called physical therapy. He had also listened to her heart and her lungs, checked her eyes, her nose, her throat, her ears, and pressed on her stomach. She had snapped at him when he tried to check her teeth.
âWhat else do you need to do?â Ty asked, folding his arms across his chest.
âIâd like to take a blood sample. It would be good to know her blood type. I can also run some tests on it. There may be enough similarities between us that I can use as a baseline. Iâm assuming from earlier that you two are sexually active. Iâm also going to assume that she is not on any type of birth control. Have you been using protection?â Ben asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ty flushed and dropped his arms to his side. He groaned softly and ran his hand down over his face. Ella looked at him in confusion. The women of the clan used a method of calculating the days of their blood cycle to determine when they would be more or less likely to conceive a child. Her own mother had explained the method to Ella.
Ella quickly calculated the days since her last cycle and breathed a sigh of relief. She should be safe. The thought of conceiving a child did not even occur to her. Her hand moved from her ankle to her stomach when she felt a sudden pang of longing. She quickly pushed the feeling away as she remembered the horror stories of what had happened to a human woman who is pregnant with a shifter child.
âI should be safe,â she said, looking up at both men. âMy mother explained how to prevent having a child. I am within my cycle period and I should not be able to conceive.â
âYes, well, that isnât always dependable among shifters,â Ben muttered, giving Ty a stern look. âI would recommend protection. You donât know if she might beâ¦.â
âSheâs not,â Ty growled, scowling at Ben. âI was her first.â
âOh, okay,â Ben muttered before drawing in a deep breath. âListen, you can bring her down to the clinic late one night this week.
