The Beta's second chance mate novel Chapter 15

Isabella's POV

Megan and I have talked about this for the past two days. Her and Dominic actually chat and they are getting along quite well. Megs even says that she could love him already which wouldn't be odd thanks to something called a mate bond,whatever that is.

"Bella,someone would like to talk to you." Said Megan as she put my phone on my ear. Giving her a raised eyebrow and a shrug, I held my phone to my ear.

"Hello." I greeted.

"Hey Baby." Said a familiar voice. A voice I loved.

"Hey,how are you?" I asked as I put my phone on speaker and sat it on my vanity table as I continued fixing my hair.

"I'm surviving,though I miss you. I still respect your wishes though." He gently said.

"Okay,thanks Dev." I said putting a hair tie on my hair.

"Anything for you... anyway,I called to tell you that Daniella gave birth to a healthy baby, last night. You'll have to come over to know the gender and name." He said with a smirk,I'm certain.

Laughing I answered," Fine,I'll tell Megan." I said with a smile on my face.

"Okay,see you soon Baby." He said before hanging up.

"Megs!" I called.

"Yeah? She answered walking into my bedroom.

"Daniella gave birth last night." I said looking at her with barely contained excitement.

"What?! She yelled," what's the gender and what's his or her name?" She asked excitedly.

"I don't know the gender,Devon says I'll have to come over to know the gender and the name." I said standing up.

"Well,come on girly. We're going baby clothes shopping." She said running out of my room, probably to change clothes.

A couple of hours later,we were standing out of Devon's house with our arms covered in bags. Walking to the door,it was opened by an overly excited Devon and Dominic.

Both Megs and I could see how much they were holding themselves from jumping on us. "A little help here,please?" I asked as Megs and I walked towards the door. In less than 1 minute the bags had disappeared from our arms and were now in the boys' arms. They held them like they were bags of crisps instead of heavy bags full of clothes.

Megs and I were left there suffering from whiplash." Thanks, though I just meant a couple of bags,not all of them." I said as Megs and I walked towards the boys...well men.

They both shrugged their shoulders as if it was nothing,which I'm sure for them it wasn't.

"Is that how fast you guys actually are?" I asked them.

"Yeah,unless we push ourselves to our utmost limits." Said Dominic as he walked into the house followed by Megan and I.

"You know,you didn't greet me." Said Devon with a pout as I closed the door behind him.

"I haven't have I?" I said in a thinking face. "Devon could you bend a little,please?" I asked him, which he did without hesitation. "Hey Dev." I said as I gently pulled at his cheeks, resulting in him standing upright almost immediately. "See,I greeted you and you rejected me...oh well. Your loss." I said with a shrug as I walked away.

Looking behind me,I saw Devon still standing where I had left him in utter shock.

"Mommy...I mean, Miss Isabella." Shouted Sophie while running towards me. I could see the realisation flash on her face of what she had called me before correcting herself.

By this time people were looking at us with different expressions. Some looked surprised,others looked awed and others were just smiling.

Little Sophie stood a couple of feet away from me with her head down while nervously twiddling her fingers.

I quietly walked towards Sophie with a gentle smile on my face. When I got to her, I picked her up before giving her a bear hug and a kiss on her soft cheek.

"Hey my cute little Munchkin,I missed you so much."

I walked with her still in my arms to the kitchen where I placed her on the counter." What's wrong Baby,why are you shying away from me? It's just me." I cooed.

"I'm sorry for calling you Mommy,Miss Isabella. I promise that it will never happen again."

Sophie looked a bit panicked and fearful. She probably thought that I was upset with her for calling me Mommy. Seeing her like this broke my heart. If only she knew how much I cared about her.

"Shh,it's okay Baby. I'm not angry or upset,I promise. Do you want me to be your Mommy,Soph?" I gently asked her.

She nodded with hopeful eyes. "Well,I would be honoured to be the Mommy of such a sweet and beautiful,little girl." I said,giving her a hug.

"Really?" She excitedly asked me.

Nodding with a smile,I kissed her forehead.
