After coming to the realization that the cause for my change was Cade, Sam and I began the trip home immediately so we could confer with the pack doctor. So many things had happened between when I was with cade and the present time. So many things to take into consideration.
The drive home was silent with only mine and Sams breathing and the soft rumble of the engine to be heard. No doubt both of our brains were running through possibilities of what the future holds.
Instead of all the problems that are facing us at the moment, I think about the rough leather seat below me and the cotton of my shirt touching my skin and the slight warmth I can feel radiating of Sam next to me. If I think too much about what the future holds then ill cause myself to panic and nobody needs that right now. Although my brain is occupied by the thought of my feet touching the floor of the car I can't help but let the thoughts slip in. What if Sam is thinking about how hard t would before us to have kids, or how maybe it will be too hard for me to love me like this. The thoughts continue to run through my head through the rest of the trip but I manage to compose myself when I see that we are coming closer to home.
When we arrived back at the pack house we both still didn't say anything just sitting in the stillness of the car. I was the first to break the silence.
"What are you thinking Sam?" I ask, desperate to hear his thoughts. I turned in my chair to look at his face, his brow was furrowed and his eyes were closed, I could see the beginning of the stubble forming on his face which in 2 days would be a five o clock shadow.
He takes in a deep breath and turns opening his eyes at me, "I'm just thinking Alex, mostly just trying not to think about how much I hate Cade, I never thought I'd say this about anyone but I'm glad that asshole is dead. He doesn't deserve to breathe another breath on this earth."
I reach my hand across the distance between us and caress his check comforting him and his thoughts, "I love you," I whisper to him.
He closes his eyes and leans into my hand turning to place a kiss into the palm of my hand, "I love you too."
I smile at him before removing my palm from his face and stepping out of the car, Sam follows suit and I meet him at his side of the car, "we will be ok," I comfort him.
"I know," he whispers leaning down and pecking me on the lips. He grabs my hand entwining our fingers together and we both start to make our way inside to the pack doctors office.
We make our way down the long corridor to the brown wooden door at the end our hands still linked between us. Sam doesn't bother with formalities and barges his way on through the door.
John jumps out of his chair, "Sam! Alex! You're home," he explains obviously shocked by our entrance, "how was your trip?"
Sam is the first to talk, "Our trip was great, answered a lot of questions for us," Sam then proceeded to tell the doctor about our recent discoveries with Tom not leaving out any details.
The pack doctor remains very interested throughout the story making noises when needed. Most of the time having his brow furrowed in concentration. Occasionally he scribbles down the findings on the paper in front of him.
"I see," the pack doctor says when Sam finally finishes, "So it seems whatever happened with you and Cade was so traumatic that it caused your dormant wolf to awaken to protect you and as you can't remember that explains why everyone is so confused."
He continues still scribbling his notes not looking up at us, "This actually explains a lot, for example how you healed so quickly after returning here."
Sam adds on from beside me, "and how the silver burned you on the cells," he nods knowing he's right.
I think about how obvious it's been in the last few months that I was a wolf and no one realized, not even myself.
"So this man, Tom, doesn't have any solution to this problem except this special room he has?" the pack doctor asks us, obviously thinking about how strange this is.
"No, he said this has just had to be something he lives with, however from what I saw he hasn't stopped living just because of this problem," Sam replies.
What is he talking about? I was with him the whole time and he didn't say anything that would explain what Sam just said. I look over at him in confusion, "what are you talking about?"
Sam looks across in my direction, "you aren't very observant, are you?" he asks me a small smile on his lips.
I scoff at him crossing my arms over my chest in annoyance, "what are you on about Sam?"
Sam turns more to face me, a big smile on his face, "The pictures on the walls, there was one of him in front of Mt Everest, one of him and what I assume are his family and one of him and his kids. I'm honestly surprised you didn't see them, they were everywhere."
I glare at him, "Sorry I'm not to your level of observance."
Then it hits me what he said. Kids. Tom had kids. I smile sneaks onto my face, "He has kids?"
"Yes, three beautiful children," Sam nods still smiling.
I don't reply to him turning to the pack doctor who is sitting there patiently watching the exchange between me and Sam with a small smile on his lips, "That was all John, thank you for helping us, it really means a lot to the both of us."
The doctor smiles at the both of us before turning back to the papers on his desk, I get up at the same time Sam does and we both walk out the door, the excitement radiating off the both of us.
As soon as the door s shut behind us I launch into his arms. Sam catches me lifting me off the ground and spinning me in a circle, both of us laughing in happiness. He places me back down on the ground and graces me with an ear-splitting smile.
"We can have children," I whisper to him still smiling just as wide as he is.
He leans down whispering in my ear, his breath blowing onto my neck, "we can have all the children baby, as many as you want."
Suddenly he shifts, I squeal as he lifts me over his shoulder and turns around begins walking back to our room.
"What are you doing!?" I shriek chuckling at him.
He slaps me lightly on my thigh before saying, "Well if we are going to have all the children then we have to start right away," he exclaims.
I laugh at him but let him take me to his room where we have what I can only describe as the best night of my life.
***
Sam and I both lay on the tartan blanket on the soft grass under the shade of the giant willow tree swaying in the wind above us.
Sam is lying on his back, his arm wrapped around me and I lay on my side snuggled into his side, the warmth of his skin radiating through my body. His hand traces light patterns on my exposed side and I smile pushing my head closer to his chest, content with my situation.
I feel Sam begin to move and he places a gentle kiss on my head before I hear him mutter the words that will forever make me feel like the luckiest girl that ever existed.
"I love you, Alex Crest."
I look up to see his beautiful face.
So this is my life now, I think I can live with this.
