Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 3

"So, I had a visit the other day," I begin.

Peter raises an eyebrow. "Okay?"

"It was the Moon Goddess." I state.

Peters eyes widen. "Oh? What did she want?" He rubs his hands on his thighs nervously.

"She wanted to talk me about, Allie," I murmur.

He stares at me for a long minute. Then, seeming to recover, shakes his head and clears his throat.

"What about my daughter?" he asks timidly.

I sigh. This is the hard part. But it's also the part he should know more than anything.

"So, you know how Allie can do a lot of things normal babies can't, right?" I imply.

He nods. "Yes, I've picked up on that,"

"Yeah. Well, the Moon Goddess wanted to talk to me because of that. She said that Allie isn't exactly... Normal,"

Peter's forehead wrinkles in confusion. It doesn't surprise me.

"Not normal? What's wrong with her?" His voice is high, and desperate.

"She's developing faster than a normal baby would. Her brain and her body are both growing faster than normal,"

"How much faster?" ask Peter.

I frown. "She didn't exactly specify an exact algorithm..." My voice trails off. I want to tell him this, but again I don't. He could react with a ton of different reactions.

"Just tell me, Kaden! How fast is my daughter growing?" he yells, his eyes hinting at a black shade. He's struggling to stay in control from his wolf.

"She'll have the mind and body of a nineteen year old in three years," My voice wavers slightly as I tell him this.

"What?" he roars. "My baby will be nineteen in three years? How?"

I shrink back from his glare. "The Moon Goddess said it's because of the age gap we have," I explain.

This doesn't calm Peter. "And? Plently of mates have huge age gaps. Why are you and my daughter any different?"

I frown and look at the floor. "I don't know. She didn't say,"

Peter groans and runs his hands through his hair. "Do you know anything else?" He demands.

I nod. "Yes. The Moon Goddess said that it'll take Allie a year before a he reaches age six. Then another year to reach fourteen. Then the last year will be all the way up to nineteen. After that she'll be normal."

Peter crashes down into a chair, throwing his head in his hands. "I've heard parents say that time flies by with kids, but I never took that this far," he murmurs, almost to himself.

"I'm sorry Peter," I say, trying to calm him. I know its not an ideal situation, but all we can do is make the best of it. Him complaining about how fast Allie grows isn't going to make her slow down. All we can do is embrace this.

But I can still hear Allie.

"Kaden!" she cries again. My wolf inside me is stirring, desperately trying to figure out a way to get to her.

But there is no way. I can't get through these silver frames no matter what I do. They were built that way.

And even if I someho manage to break though it, I'd be in So much pain I wouldn't be able to help Allie at all.

So there's no point.

I sit be the door and listen to the inside of the house. Allie is still inside crying, and from the sound of it, She has no intent on stopping.

Its the worst kind of tourtue I can imagine. But it's still not worth the silver. I don't want to worry Allie with me being injured when her door breaks. I won't do that to her.

So I sit there and wait, though I don't know for what, listening to the sound of Allies cries like a lullaby.

When I wake, my pain is still fresh on my mind, and other than that, all I can think of is Allie. How I missed her first word, which just happened to be my name.

And who knows what else I missed? Allie is growing really fast, and in nine hours of me sleeping, she could have learned to walk already!

I'm missing everything.

I groan and sit up, noticing right away that Peter hasn't taken down the steel frame from his door.
