The Wolf Baby

Chapter Thirteen

"Nina are you okay?" Gabriel questioned, concern lacing his tone.

"Yeah, just tired."

"Okay." Gabriel frowned before pulling something out of his pocket. "Don't forget your picture."

I grabbed the picture from his hand and muttered a thanks. Without another word, I got out of the car and headed for my house.

This doesn't make sense, none of this does.

It has been two weeks since that day but I still can't think of any reasons why Dr Montgomery would transfer to a different hospital for me, other than Gabriel somehow making her do it. I tried not to think too much about it since I had a lot of Uni work to do but it was hard.

Gabriel called me every day as usual but he understood that I was very close to the end of my course and I didn't have much time for him. I can't say I like him any better than before but I have gotten used to him hovering around.

I now had a little bump that was very noticeable if I wore a tight top, not that any of my smaller tops would fit me now because of my chest. I wore loose tops so that it wouldn't be noticeable and so far it had worked.

I was very energetic which surprised me as I thought I would be more tired than usual. Instead when I woke up, I felt more healthy and stronger. I no longer had morning sickness and the only thing that remained the same was my craving for meat.

I had only one little essay to submit and I was done. My course was over and hopefully in two months I would be graduating with a good grade. I knew I wasn't going to get a first but I was hoping for a 2:1.

Things were going smoothly and I hoped they would stay like this.

I smiled as I started to pack my things in my bag. I was currently in the university library finishing off the mini essay I needed to do. All it needed now was just a quick edit and I was done.

Swinging my bag over my shoulder, I checked the time before I headed for the exit of the library. It was a little over 9pm and the sun was setting but since the library was only a few minutes away from the house, I didn't mind walking home.

I took out the sonogram from my purse and stroked the picture as I walked. It was a something I couldn't help but do, looking at the picture made me feel more connected to the baby.

"Mummy is all done, I did it." I smiled as I caressed the photo. "I actually did it."

I couldn't help but smile like a crazy person, even though my life was a mess and complicated right now it didn't matter. I was happy.

"Hey, Nina!" A familiar voice called out from behind me.

I turned around to see who it was and I groaned. Urgh, I'm no longer happy anymore. I quickly turned around and continued walking hoping Josh would get the hint. I turned onto another street that was a short cut to the house, it was deserted but I was only a few minutes away.

"Nina!" Josh yelled as he caught up with me.

"Oh, hey Josh. Didn't see you there." I muttered giving him a weak smile.

"You looked back and saw me."

"Right, so what do you want?" I asked him, hoping he would just go away.

"There's no need to be rude Nina, I just wanted to see how you were." Josh grumbled before his eyes fell to my hands. "What's that?"

"Nothing, nothing." I quickly muttered trying to shove the sonogram in my pocket before he sees what it is.
