Chapter 415
It was now well over two weeks since Jasmine had last seen Xaden and she was terribly worried.
She was seated with Nanny Nia at the open library overlooking the gardens when Marie came in.
Jasmine had now progressed with her learning and to her and Nanny nia’s shock, she was excelling quite fast.
At the fastest rate Nanny Nia claimed she had ever seen.
“How many people have you taught to teach?” Jasmine asked.
Knowing that she was the only one her nanny had ever taught.
Nanny nia frowned at her question and Jasmine secretly smirked.
“Back to studying.” Nanny nia warned.
Jasmine sighed.
She was worried for Xaden.
Ever since she had come to this pack, she had barely stayed away from him this long.
He would stay far away from her, but that was about it.
In her bones she felt as though something was wrong, but Erik kept on telling her it wasn’t unusual for Xaden to stay this long.
Marie came into the room and Jasmine became alert.
“Relax.” Maria’s smiled.
Jasmine cautiously eased back down on the chair.
“I’m here for my weekly check up p>
Marie said.
She pushed Nanny nia aside who rolled her eyes, irritated.
They still didn’t like each other.
“You’re getting really big.” Marie rose a brow. “This looks like you are already four months gone p>
“What?” Jasmine asked shocked.
This washer first pregnancy and she barely noticed the she wolves in her pack when they got pregnant so she still didn’t know much about pregnancy.
Is that a bad thing?” Jasmine asked looking from her nanny to Marie.
“No.” Nanny Nia said at the same time Marie said. “Yes p>
Nanny Nia glared at Marie. “Of course it isn’t. It’s just unusual p>
“You knew this entire time that my pregnancy was going wrong and you didn’t tell me?” Jasmine asked Nia shocked.
“It’s not going wrong.” Nanny Nia said. “It’s just p>
Nanny Nia paused for a second.
“It’s just what?” Jasmine asked tensed.
“I didn’t want you to overthink it. I didn’t want you to worry because it’s only going to put you and your baby in a tended state like you are right now. That’s why I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry p>
“What if something bad happened?” Jasmine asked unhappily.
“That’s why I called Marie.” Nanny Nia said reluctantly.
“Yes.” Marie admitted. “She doesn’t like me but she sent for me to come see you p>
Marie sat down beside Jasmine. “You have to take off your dress. I need to feel the baby without any form of interruptions p>
Jasmine was helped out of her simple
Blue dress and left in her chemise.
Marie unbuttoned it from her breasts till under her stomach.
“Now I want you to take in a deep breath.” Marie said.
Jasmine closed her eyes and did as she had been told then Marie proceeded to put her hands around the tummy and feel the baby.
She loved her hands rhythmically and it seemed the baby was following her movements as well because Jasmine felt it move around.
After about three minutes Marie gently removed her hands. “You can button your dress now p>
“What’s wrong with my pup?” Jasmine asked ignoring the fact that she was still
Half naked.
“There isn’t anything wrong with it actually.” Marie pointed out leaning back in her chair and tossing a loc of her dreads away from her face. “Have you had any pains? Any complications or discomfort since I last came p>
“No.” Jasmine said dumbfounded.
“That’s a good sign. The baby is just growing at an extremely fast rate. This is supposed to be your what? Second month? That baby is already on its fourth about to enter its fifth p>
Jasmine’s face went bleak.
“You’re going to have the baby very soon.” Marie stated.
“What!?” Jasmine gasped.
“Yes.” Marie nodded.
“Can you tell when?” Jasmine asked.
Marie shrugged. “I really have no idea about that. Maybe a month p>
Jasmine felt the blood drain from her face.
“I’ve never witnessed anything as extraordinary as this.” Marie said. “So I genuinely can not say how fast this baby will come. But what I do know is that it’s not going to reach that eleven month term. Definitely not p>
Jasmine was shocked.
Unsure of what to say.
She looked down at her bulge. Her baby.
“B… but her stomach doesn’t look so big yet.” Nanny Nia asked Marie.
“Oh it’s going to get big.” Marie assured. “Just a matter of time p>
“Is my baby going to be deformed? Affected like me?” Jasmine asked.
Marie sighed. “I don’t know. I won’t lie to you. The baby might be affected by the extremely fast growth. Or it could be born perfectly fine. I won’t know till we’re close to you giving birth. I don’t even know if that’s such a big issue compared to what I’m actually worried about p>
Jasmine’s heart skipped.
“What p>
“She wolves who have mated with Alphas usually give birth to their pups in their wolf form. Because the pup in the tummy isn’t in human form but in its original form as a wolf. Then after the baby is born they shift to human babies and then remain that way until they hit age eighteen, when they finally shift.” Marie explained. Jasmine was clueless so Marie had to chip in. “You know this don’t you p>
Jasmine looked at Nanny Nia and then back to Marie.
“Not really.” Jasmine said honestly.
She had been so shunned by the pack and isolated because she was an unshifted she barely knew much about being a wolf.
Marie took in a deep breath.
“Ok. But that’s what happens. In your case you’re an unshifted. But your baby might be a pup.” Marie said.
“My baby isn’t a pup?” Jasmine asked alarmed.
This now meant that her child might be an unshifted just like her and go through the exact same thing she had faced.
“No. We don’t know that yet.” Marie pointed out. “We can’t be too sure of anything p>
Jasmine took in a deep breath. “So what if the baby is unshifted p>
“Then that’s a good thing.” Marie said.
“Good thing?!” Jasmine gasped.
“Because you would be able to give birth in your human form p>
And then it hit Jasmine.
Marie read her thoughts aloud. “But if your baby is a pup you would have to give birth to it as a pup. And you can’t change into a wolf. And it won’t be possible for you to push out a wolf. Your pelvis is too small for you to do that. You might die p>
