Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 29

"What's wrong?" she asks.

Why do you all of the sudden care? I almost say. But I stop myself before those words can escape. This is progress, and if Allie is worried about me that must be a good thing.

"I'm upset," I murmur.

"Why?" she asks, her voice seeming somehow softer. A touch of the old Allie cracking through this new exterior.

'This is good!' my wolf shouts in my head. 'She cares! She remembers us!'

'Stay calm,' I tell him. 'She hasn't gotten that far yet,'

"Because," I say aloud. "Because you don't remember who I am, and you're scared of me. I don't want you to be scared of me. I want you to see how much I love you, Allie. I'd never hurt you,"

Allie looks at me with a guarded expression. "Did you cover me up?" she asks, toying with the small blanket.

I nod. "And put you in the bed,"

Allie's brow furrows. "Why would you do that?"

"Because I want you to see how much I care about you. And that seemed like the only way at the moment,"

"What do you mean?" she murmurs. "The only way?"

I sigh. "You won't let me anywhere near you when you're awake. I could only comfort you when you're unconscious,"

"Oh," is all Allie can mange at my words. She looks down again and plays with her fingers before looking up at me again. She eyes me curiously, seeming to not be able to form a coherent stream of thoughts.

"Who are you?" she whispers warily.

"Kaden," I answer.

At my soft word, Allie pales and all the progress we seem to have made disappears in a flash.

"No," she whispers. "You aren't, he's gone, you killed him,"

Then she turns away from me, curling into a ball before starting to cry again into her shoulder.

Soon, she falls asleep again, rolling off of the bed in her unconscious state, and landing where I'll just have to pick her up again.

Allie doesn't wake up when she falls to the floor and for that, I find that I'm grateful for. It gives me the chance to hold her once again.

I quietly walk over to the side of the bed and pick her uo like I did the previous times.

So before I let myself rest, I search though the room quietly, looking for any spare bottles of water. I know the hospital has some somewhere, I just hope they aren't out of this room.

I don't want to leave Allie alone, but I will if I have to. She needs water if she's going to get better, I have to find her some.

I look through all the shelves and boxes until there's only one set of cabinets left. I go over and open the first one and to my amazement I find what I've been searching for.

Three cases of bottled water.

Sighing, I grab a few of them and place them on the counter by my chair. I open the first one for myself, and sitting down in the floor in front of the awful chair, I drink.

I don't know how long I sit there, but after I while Allie stirs, and I hear her beginning to groan.

Its not even morning yet, I think to myself. And I wasn't being loud. Why is she awake?

"Hey," Allie whispers into the dark. "Are you still here?"

"Are you taking to me?" I murmur, standing up and waking closer to her.

She nods, and I watch as a slight tremor rocks through her body. She clutches he arms around herself and begins to shiver lightly.

"Are you cold?" I ask.
