Chapter 459: Back to normal
Alanis
As she examines
I watch her and hope that everything is fine. I am at this place in my life where all I want is peace. I want the comfort of my mate and my babies, nothing else.
"Everything looks good,’’ she smiles at
"You look a lot paler than you did when you ca here,’’ she points out and I nod in agreent. This is how I was before the mating ceremony. This is how I always have been before I got pregnant.
"Yes, I think I am back to the way I was before.’’
She nods "I want to see how you are healing, even though from the looks of things, your body is perfect," she says as she pulls down the shirt I am wearing. "The scar is all gone." she adds.
I look down at my hip and see nothing but smooth skin.
"Do you mind if I cut you?’’ she asks
and I watch her as she grabs a scalpel from an exam table.
"I just healed up and you want to cut
open?’’ I ask and she nods, "Yes you’re a vampire. You will heal." she clips off the end of the blade and I look at her. "I want to see if you will heal as fast as you should.’’
I nod and she cuts
on my palm. I wince slightly as she does this but it is nothing I haven’t faced before. After child birth, I don’t think any other pain can be worse. This just makes
have a higher appreciation for won and all the things that they go through.
I watch as the blood pools up on my hand. She grabs a cotton ball and puts it over the cut "That’s a deep cut,’’ I exclaim as he removes the cotton ball from it. I watch as the cut starts to close up in less than a second.
"Perfect,’’ she says "I am going to have to do a few more tests, but for now you are all clear.’’
She waltzes off and I just sit there for a while. I watch as the cuts on my hands close up and I think about how I got here. I think about the pure joy that all this has brought into my life. The door opens and Beau walks in with a smile on his face "How did it go?’’ he asks imdiately.
"I am perfect,’’ I say as he sits next to
"I have never felt so good in my life.’’
He nods and I lean in and kiss him. I know that this is the best thing that I have ever done.
"Ogma said you are back to being a vampire, so is it safe to say that you won’t have all those food cravings anymore?’’ he asks and I see the look on his face, almost like he would miss those tis.
I am glad that I don’t have to think about food as a necessity for survival anymore but I do feel like my pregnancy brought us closer. The bond we shared during that ti will not be forgotten.
"My body is back to the way it was,’’ I tell him with a gleam in my eyes. He rests his head on my chest and I lie back on the bed with him in my arms. Life is going to change. I am in his arms right now but things don’t feel as complete as they would before. Now my mind is in the nursery. I am thinking about my babies and how I want them here with
in the room.
"I can leave the hospital, I think I am strong enough now.’’ I tell him.
He nods "You feel stronger, I don’t know if that makes any sense." he points out.
"I feel like you are completely healed and ready to...’’ he pauses.
"To what?’’ I ask curiously.
"To take on the world,’’ he says confidently.
"I have been taking on the world with you,’’ I say and he looks at
"You have been my world,’’ I tell him.
He smiles and hugs
and I pull him closer, closing my eyes, just to embrace him. His hands are around my waist as he breathes out a confession.
"While you were unconscious, I thought about the Fallon problem and I think I have made a decision."
I open my eyes because at the end of everything, the Fallon problem affects my family, so it affects
too.
I want Fallon to die, I want his drama to end and the only way that can happen is if Beau makes that decision.
"Okay,’’ I utter and he looks at
"You have to do what you think is best. I don’t want you making a decision just because you think it is sothing that I want."
He nods in understanding "I want this too. I can’t have him threatening my family. I want him to die." he confesses and that is what I wanted to hear. I wanted him to want this as much as I want it. Fallon will always be a problem, he killed his own brother. There is nothing he can’t do if he is given the chance and he being alive is a risk that I do not want to take.
I manage a smile as I pull him closer because I know how hard this is for him. Beau is to compassionate to do this. He is going to need
by his side to stay strong and do this.
"It is okay,’’ I tell him as he pulls back and I see him looking at
"I know that you don’t want to do this, but I also know that you are going to do it because it’s the right thing to do. You are doing this for the sake of our family. I am proud of you."
He leans forward and his lips lt into mine as we kiss each other.
