The Wolf Baby

Chapter Nineteen

I nodded as I tried to process what she said. I mean it all made sense as to why she knew so much and wasn't scared like I was and still am. I reached over and began cutting my pancakes that Leah made.

"You're not scared?" I asked her as I shoved a piece of pancake in my mouth.

"Nope, John's a really nice guy and he loves my Aunt to bits. Werewolves don't go around hurting or killing humans, it will draw too much attention, but obviously there are some crazy Werewolves just like there are some crazy humans in this world."

"Oh, right." I muttered not really knowing what to say.

"I don't know a lot about them, but when your hand healed that day when you had a panic attack I knew something was different. I found out what he was but I couldn't tell you, he had to. If I told you I could have caused both of us trouble plus I don't know how I could have explained this to you without you thinking I was crazy."

I shrugged knowing she was right. "Does Gabriel know that you know?"

"Yeah he does. I think you should speak to him and let him explain everything to you."

I sighed. "I guess I have to do that, but I don't know if he's still mad at me for thinking of having an abortion."

"I'm sure he's not." Leah reassured me. "He knows you were scared and panicking. He needs to explain what he is. He's not just a Werewolf."

"What do you mean?" I asked not understanding what she was trying to say. What else could he be?

"You need to let him explain. I know it's scary but you need to give him a chance to explain everything." Leah said giving me a stern look.

"Fine." I groaned not wanting to face Gabriel, I was still a little worried about how he might react.

"I honestly had no choice but to tell him, I'll always be loyal to you but if you went through with it he would have lost it. It wouldn't have ended well for you. He's different than normal Werewolf and with it's harder for his type to have kids."

"I wouldn't have gone through with it." I whispered looking down at my plate.

"I know, but you weren't thinking straight. People do things they normally don't do when they're scared."

It was quiet for a few minutes for a few minutes as we both ate our food in silence.

"By the way." Leah started to say as she reached for her coffee. "You need to tell your baby daddy to fix our kitchen."

I smiled weakly. "I will."

Gabriel sent a few people over to sort out the kitchen, instead of fixing what he broke they ended up redoing the entire kitchen. We stayed over at Leah's friend for a day while they fixed everything up, when we got home we were both speechless. The kitchen looked amazing, everything looked expensive, there was nothing Leah and I could afford. As well as that, the cabinets and fridge were filled with more food than we had when we left.

I couldn't complain though, as soon as I saw the top shelf of the freezer filled with ice cream I dug right in.

Gabriel didn't contact me at all, instead he pestered Leah asking for updates every other hour. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss him calling me. I wanted him to call me but I knew he was probably still angry with me.

After a couple of days later I decided I should take the first step and call him. He picked up as soon as I called him thinking it was an emergency. After I explained to him that I'm fine and the baby is fine did he calm down. I told him we needed to talk and he agreed, instead of meeting in his house or mine we decided to meet at a café.

I had an hour to kill before I met up with Gabriel so I decided to do a little shopping. I had a lot of toiletries I needed to buy so I headed straight to Boots when I reached the shopping centre. After I got everything I needed I just went into a few shops and browsed through the clothes, not actually buying anything. They wouldn't fit me in a couple of months anyway.

After I got out of the third shop I couldn't help get the feeling someone was looking at me. I turned around to see a dark haired middle aged man staring at me. I shrugged it off and headed into another shop. I continued to browse through the item when I bumped into someone.

My eyes fell on the man who I had seen staring at me minutes ago. I muttered a quick apology and walked away from him quickly, moving to the other side of the store. From the corner of my eyes, I could see him coming closer.

Freaking out a little I quickly left the shop and headed for the car park. While the elevator made its way up to the top floor of the car park, I got money out from my purse for the parking ticket so it was quicker. As soon as the elevators opened, I headed straight for the machine where you pay for the parking ticket.

I got into the car as fast as I could and slammed on the locks. My whole body was trembling as I tried to calm myself. I looked into the rear view and saw the man stepping out of the elevators. I turned on the engine and pressed my foot down on the gas when I saw the man starting to run.

I drove as fast as I could without being reckless, not looking back once as I went down the car par levels. I sighed in relief when I reached the bottom floor of the car park and the barrier. I scrolled down the window and inserted the ticket into the machine and waited for the barrier to lift so I could leave.

I looked behind me to see if the man was there knowing even though I knew there was no way he could run down 7 flights of stairs that quickly. When I didn't see him I felt myself relax, I was safe.

It was almost half three so the main roads were starting to get a busy. After ten minutes of driving I finally managed to get onto a smaller road that didn't have much traffic. As I drove down the quiet road surrounded by trees I thought about what Gabriel might say when I saw him.

Leah said he was different than other Werewolves, I tried to think about what she could have meant but I came up with nothing. Gabriel being a Werewolf didn't bother me as much as it had done a few days ago, I wasn't 100% thrilled or comfortable with it but I wasn't as terrified as before. I don't think I'll ever be 100% comfortable with him being a Werewolf.

I sighed and decided not to think too much about it. The road was empty so I looked down and put the radio on. I checked the roads again before fiddling with the buttons to get the right station on. I found the radio station I wanted and I straightened up as I familiar song filled the car. Bobbing my head to the song on the radio, I sped up a little.

It happened so suddenly that I wasn't sure if it actually happened. A huge dog ran across the road making me slam the breaks down hard. My chest stung a little as the seatbelt presses into my chest and neck. I gasped as I stared at the empty road in front of me. I could have sworn I saw something huge run across the road.

I put my hand against my heart as it pounded like crazy, looking around I saw that there was nothing there. Maybe it ran into the forest? I looked in the rear view mirror to see if it was behind the car or if any cars were coming but the road was empty.

Shaking my head and letting out a heavy sigh I reached for the keys to turn the engine on. My hands froze when I saw the speeding car in front of me. It would have been fine if it wasn't driving on the wrong lane, my lane.

It was coming at me with no intention of stopping.
