Butterflies dance in my stomach as I stare at the screen, unable to read the images but hoping somewhere in that black and white mess my little Alpha would show up. “Well, let’s find out, shall we?” she smiles, pulling the ultrasound machine out and squirting cold gel on my belly.

I’m pregnant! Oh my gosh, I’m pregnant! “H-how far along?” I whisper, barely able to string together a sentence from holding back the sob in my throat. “You’re carrying our little Alpha in there.” My heart skips a beat as I process the news. “Congratulations, Luna,” she says, placing her hand on my tummy. My hands were trembling but I manage to calm down.

“Just breathe, Luna,” she smiles, inhaling slowly with me and reaching for my hands. I could hear my heart pounding against my ribcage at an unnatural speed as I wait for her to speak. Doctor Lila offers me a warm smile, rubbing some hand sanitizer on her hands as she settles down on her chair. The door swings open and I nearly fall off the table from the fright of the sound. I knew how much he wanted a son and it hurt to know I was failing so miserably to make him happy. Christian and I had been trying for several months now and I could feel it driving a wedge between us. The walls feel as though they are closing in on me at the thought of receiving another negative test result. I grip the edge of the table, whimpering to myself as I let the pain roll through on its own.

Doctor Lila said it was all in my head, that I was simply putting too much pressure on myself to get pregnant. I’ve been getting these pains a lot recently and they are starting to freak me out. And then, in a blink of an eye, I was nothing…Ī surge of pain ripples from my abdomen as I wait for the doctor to return with my test results. Up until this morning, my life had been quite simple.
