look of distress he blurted, “You’re kinda pregnant.”
Her jaw dropped. No way, she couldn’t be. She was trying to think how late she was, only a week, or two. But she was always irregular. She screamed, loud and long, and then launched herself at Conner.
Conner had her arms pinned when Jake and Shana came in the room. Shana was smiling and Jake looked worried for his friend.
“ You better wipe that grin off, Shana; I’m not in the mood.” Katie said with rage. Uh, oh. “Someone get me a pregnancy test now!” She howled, and sat down heavily at the table.
Shana made Jake give her the test because she’d never seen her friend so bothered.
Katie snatched the test from Jake and said, “You’re coming with me friend. I’m not doing this by myself.” As Shana started for the door Katie turned worried eyes to her and said, “Not you, him!” Pointing to Conner. She crooked her finger, “Hurry up.”
Conner leapt to his feet, and ran for Katie’s retreating form.
Chapter 4
“Two lines. What does that mean Conner?” She was secretly hoping to be pregnant, but she knew that was selfish. A baby couldn’t survive in her rough world. She was a cop. How do you chase a suspect when you’re the size of a cow?
“ Katie, I told you the test wasn’t needed. I can smell the pregnancy hormones. You smell of fresh rain, new life. It is a wonderful blessing. You are one hundred percent pregnant, but if you need your little test. Two lines means…pregnant. Surprise!”
“ A blessing? You are not helping wolf. I can’t be pregnant. It doesn’t fit into my life.” Great, first her house burns down around her, then she finds out werewolves are real, and to top it all off she’s pregnant, by said werewolf. What a week.
“ Are you saying you’re going to get rid of it? No Katie. That’s the product of our love. There is nothing more that I want other than for you to have our children and marry me, but that can wait, a couple weeks.”
“ Love, we just met you bafoon. Are you on medication, because if not I highly recommend it.” Who the hell did this guy think he was, to upend her life without thought?
“ We’ll work it out together, and there is no need for name calling.”
“ Shana!!!” Katie was yelling again. Hell yeah she was yelling this man was crazy, and a wolf. “Shana, come in here now!!! Conner, please leave.”
“ You can’t run away from me. I know you’ve been thinking about me. You feel the same connection, I know it. Just let me talk to you. Let’s just…talk.” He needed her and she was pulling away. What was he supposed to do? “I’m real sorry that you’re unhappy, but I’ve never been happier.” He smiled.
“ Yeah, because it’s all about you, right?” She pulled in a lung full of air, “Shana!!!” She bellowed again, just as her friend was entering the bathroom. “Get him out. Now!”
Shana simply looked in his direction, and Conner bowed his head. He left looking alarmed.
“ I’ll be across the hall if you need me.”
“ I won’t.” Katie saw him wince as he walked out.
Shana winced, “Damn girl, that was harsh. Maybe you’re overreacting.”
Katie just held up her hand, “Are you kidding me? You yourself said that Jake could smell your, ovulation, or whatever. That means Conner knew I could have gotten pregnant. He fucked me, bit me and got me pregnant.”
“ I see what you’re saying. When you put it that way it sounds really bad. I honestly don’t think he’s a bad guy Katie. He was just probably very…overwhelmed. Do you know that Conner scented you about a week before Jake and I met? He was in frenzy. He got all the way to the police station and couldn’t smell you over all the, scum. He’s been waiting a long time for you. You said before that you want what Jake and I have. You can have it. Conner would be dedicated, and love you forever. Just think about it.” Shana could see that Katie’s anger was dimming. At least her
