Chapter 23

Willow POV

I feel like I have been waiting for hours on the doctor. I need to know. I was okay earlier, but now I am terrified. I want a baby with Lazarus, but I need to know so we can be cautious.

There is a knock at the door. Knock Knock Knock

“Come in,” I say.

I sit so still in a chair in our bedroom. The doctor comes in to see me. A little old fellow with very little hair and that wobbles when he walks.

“Willow, hi sweetie. I am Tom. I am the tribal doctor in these parts,” he says.

“Nice to meet you, Tom; I assume you know why you are here,” I say.

“Yes, Yes. I was informed that you had your very first heat cycle,” Tom says.

“Correct. I had my cycle, then it stopped abruptly,” I say.

“That is normally a sign that you are pregnant,” Tom says.

“That is what we want to hear,” I say.

“But it is your first cycle, so we need to check,” Tom says.

“Check? How?” I ask.

“Not what you are thinking,” Tom says with a hearty laugh.
