23

(Levi's POV)

As things went slowly back to normal, I started to be a little more attuned with how she was feeling, and honestly it's helped. We were talking about things a little more, she was letting me feel when our kicked or moved, it really was, all coming together. But just like when things started getting better, the bad things started to come too. One day Andrew, and Hector called me and informed me that, they were on their way to my home, I got home as soon as possible.

"Gentlemen."

"Levi." Andrew said shaking my hand, and along with Hector's, but the third wolf, was not happy so i didn't even try.

"What's going on?"

"Let's talk in your office."

That wasn't a good thing, as they walked past me, I saw Mia, and gave her a small smile, then followed the others, into my office, and closed the door.

"Levi, you know Daniel right?"

"Yes, he's Rosa's father, and former Alpha of your pack Hector."

"That's right, well, we've just found out a couple of things, things that you need to know."

"About what?"

"We just found out, that Rosa's been seeing your father, and with all due respect...."

"She's become your father's whore!" Daniel said bluntly.

I looked at Andrew, who nodded.

"And not only that, but sources have told us, that...your father, has placed a price on, Mia's head."

I wasn't sitting, and my whole body went stiff.

"He did what?!"

"None of the packs have taken the offer seriously, but I think it was something you needed to know."

"Yes, of course, I can't just turn a blind eye to this!"

"Levi, I hate to say this....."

"Then let me, your father needs to be stopped, he's been threatening war against us for too long, and now it's a tantrum because you won't leave your mate, and be a pathetic man like him!"

"Let me guess and I'm the one to have to stop him?"

"You're the only one that can get close enough to do it, son, it's just something that has to happen, if you need our back up, we're more then happy to help but this needs to stop."

Looking around at the men here, I understood, and I knew the way my father had dealt with things, which wasn't good anymore, he was threatening my family.

"Fine, we're ready, if he decided to attack us here it's fine."

"I'm sorry it's come down to this, Levi, but it has to be done."

I thanked the men, and walked them out, to the front door. When the door closed, I found Mia, sitting on the stairs, she had heard everything.

"Things are bad."

"They seem that way." I said going to sit next to her.

"What did I do to your father, for him to hate me so much?"

"You changed me, my mind set, you made me want, you, and our family."

"You would think, that was a good thing."

"Not to him...he always wanted me, to be scared of love, of the idea of a family."

"He was like that before." said Mia, so matter- a -factly I wondered.

"How would you know that?"

"Oh, right, well, um....I, um...I looked into things, and found out something, you're not going to like."

"Like what?"

She then pulled her phone out, and showed me a picture.

"This is your mother, and your father."

Carefully I took the phone from her, and for the first time I saw my mother's face, it was....so surreal, she had been beautiful. Her long black hair, her eyes so warm and kind, focused.

"Where did you get this?"

"That's the weird part, but after we talk I really think you should go talk to her."

"Talk to who?"

"Your aunt."

"My...my aunt?"

"Here let's go to the living room, the stairs are hurting my back."

I helped her up, and we went to sit on the couches. Once comfortable she turned to look at me.

"So, like I said I looked into things, and found out, that your mother was married to an other man, while seeing your father. She was in one of those marriages where they got married because they were beautiful and rich people, but in the end that didn't make them happy, your mom wanted a baby, but her husband was always working and not spending a lot of time at home, so in her loneliness, she went looking for someone who cared about her, I guess she was happy with Marcus, because she wanted to divorce her husband, but things worked out for them, they went back to being the loving couple, and your father was felt high and dry, about four or six months later, your mother and her husband were found murdered and burned in a cabin they had bought for Christmas, and you were gone."

I felt cold like someone had dropped a bucket of ice water over me.

"And...where did you find...my aunt?"

"She's the owner of the cafe, where I was working."

I gawked at her.

"She was that close to me, this whole time."

"The families have been looking for you for so long, Levi, your aunt remembers you and is counting how old you are and everything."

"Was...the guy an only child?"

"Unfortunately yes, he was, this aunt is your mother's little sister."

I felt like a bus just hit me, my father had killed my mother....and had told me she had abandoned me my whole life, I had come to reset her for leaving.

"Well, hell, I wasn't expecting any of this." I said rubbing my face.

"I was going to tell you, but your dad got the jump on me."

"He's done nothing but lie to me, my whole life, trying to make me hate her, and the idea that women were all, liars and gold-diggers. This whole time it was how he saw her."

"I'm sorry."

"No, I'm glad, to finally know the truth, to understand why."

She looked at me, but then I felt a ripple.

"OW!" she suddenly said as she winced and held her side.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just....OW!Ow!" Mia cried out and soon, Eve and Jen came in.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"I'm not sure...it just hurts right here."

"Okay, okay here." Eve then pressed in a point on Mia's back.

"Just breath, Mia, nice and slow." instructed Jen, Mia did and soon her pain was gone.

"Okay, don't sit like that, you're pushing the baby down, a little."

"But I felt fine." Mia said readjusting herself.

"Yeah, I know but it's not for the baby."

She laid back on the couch. Jen and Eve left us alone again.

"Just one more month, can you believe that?"

"No, it's crazy."

Mia, put her hand out, and I took it scooting closer to her, as she hugged my hand to her chest.

"I'm here okay."

I smiled and kissed her forehead.

"I know, and thank you."

After that I took her to her room as she, was feeling a little light headed. After I was sure she was okay, I went to talk to the guys, and they all came to the house, to stand guard. Before I went to guard my family I wanted to see this woman for myself, so close to closing time, I went to see Michelle at the Cafe. She was cleaning up, alone, Mia was the one that usually helping her, but with the baby, she had to quit. I got out of the truck and headed inside.

"Oh, I'm sorry, we're closed sir."

"I know, I actually came to talk to someone."

She looked up at me, and actually saw me for the first time.

"I'm sorry but...do I know you?"

"Yeah, I'm Mia's boyfriend."

"Oh, that's right, how's she doing?"

"Better, the baby's really got her...busy."

"Babies, will do that to you."

She laughed and I smiled.

"Anyway, I..um...I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"Um...Isabella."

Michelle went pale, but then seemed to realize, something she put her table cloth down, came closer and really looked at me, she even went as far as to touch my face. It seem to hit her, because tears started to form in her eyes.

"I knew you were alive, we all knew, and here you are!" she whispered and hugged me tightly.

I held her tightly too, to know they never gave up on me, was all I could really ask for. After a while she lead me to a table and we talked for a while.

(Mia's POV)

Over the next few days, there was always guards at the house, our pack wasn't that big but they were ready, Levi told me about how he had gone to talk to Michelle, and how she had been overjoyed to know who he was. Unfortunately, there was a problem, Levi had just found her but now had to make a choice, tell her about his other side or stay away? He ended up telling her a little more because he had a feeling Marcus would try something, so she left town for a while.

Meanwhile, the day of the birth of our baby was quickly approaching, I started to have more and more pains, or this widening feeling giving me the feeling to pee very often, but Eve said I'd better be careful. To my misfortune, the pains got really bad the night of the full moon, what a cliche.

Early morning I found myself in the baby room, organizing and reorganizing the baby things, from the baby clothes to the diapers, to the furniture. I just wasn't happy with how they looked. After a while I just gave up, that was when Levi came up behind me.

"Hey, why don't you take it easy?"

"I can't sit still."

"Let me help with that."

I went soft when he kissed my neck, and my body was feeling hot.

"Really, that's your idea of helping me take it easy?"

"It's a start, but come on."

"Levi, what if..."

"Nothing is going to happen, come here."

I let him lead me to our old room, to the bed, we were having a pretty intense make out session, when I felt it.

"Levi."

"Yeah?"

"My water just broke."

He looked at me and I at him, as he started to laugh, but carefully helped me onto my feet and carried me down the stairs.

"Eve, Jen, it's happening!"

"What!?" we heard from the living room, as they ran toward us into my room.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, it just happened."

"Okay, let's get things ready then, towels, blankets, and extra pillows."

The girls got things ready, all the while the pains got worse and stronger, I had to breath through it, even though I wanted to scream. It was about three when the pain was just unbearable.

"Okay, let's check one more time." said Eve, and she checked how far I was open, "Yup it's time, okay, Mia, when you're ready push."

I got in a position, Levi held my hand, and I pushed with all my might.

"Okay, I can see the top of it's head, come on, Mia, push!"

I did again, the pain was so bad, I thought I was going to black out. Then I stopped, to breath, and catch my breath.

"The heads out, one more big push, Mia, come on!"

"I..can't..."

"Yes, you can, Love, just one more big push, you got this." Levi said in my ear.

"Come on, girl one more!" Eve said, I gathered all my strength and pushed, then I heard it, my baby's cries.

The girls wiped the baby down as cries filled the room.

"Well, congrats, you two, it's a boy."

I barely heard what was said, as they put my baby up on my chest.

"My baby boy..."

"Mia!?" I heard but I just remembered blacking out.
