Chapter 171: The Soon-to-be-Born Wolf
[Rose’s P.O.V.]
“Dr. Baldwin, I’ve never seen such a small device for pregnancy check-ups,” said I as I watched him connect a device to the tablet in his hand. Despite its size, the device looked quite sophisticated.
“Luna, this machine is a high-precision acoustic wave detector, and it’s the latest model. It’s very gentle and accurate for pregnant women and babies. Most hospitals and clinics don’t have such equipment because they don’t want to spend the money or feel that it’s unnecessary. It can be quite expensive,”said Dr. Baldwin with a smile as he sprayed a cool gel on my stomach.
“Dr. Baldwin, I don’t want to know the sex of the child, so can you please keep that to yourself if you already know?”
“Of course, my Luna. We’ll start now.”
He began to move the small probe-like thing on my stomach.
“Okay, I can now see a lively Alpha cub. The child is very well developed and very big. Let me first look at the child’s limbs. Alright, I see two hands with five fingers each and two feet with five toes each. I can see the child’s eyes, nose, and mouth. Your little wolf is very cute with a normal heartbeat. Let me take a look at the other parts of the body. Hmm… there is indeed something unusual about the end of its spine. I think it is an intact bone. It even has some luster. I guess it is because the density or material of the bone is different from the rest of the ones in the child’s body. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen something like this.”
“The local werewolf doctor said the same thing, but she didn’t mention density or material. So could it affect the child’s life?” I suddenly felt like I had an urgent need to know.
“Our little Alpha is very lively, Luna. Based on my observation, the bone at the end of the spine has no negative effect on the child’s body and behavior. I will make a more accurate evaluation once the little baby is born. Please rest assured in the meantime that I will do my best to ensure that your little wolf is a healthy child.”
“Thank you, Dr. Baldwin. May the moon goddess bless my little wolf.”
“One more thing, since the fetus is already mature and quite big, with your small stature, I might have to…”
“Induce labor early.”
When we said this at the same time, we laughed.
“It seems that you are already aware and prepared, Luna.”
“Yes, the previous doctor also told me this. However, I feel very relieved if you were the one to deliver my baby, Dr. Baldwin.”
“This is my duty and also my honor.”
“Dr. Baldwin, I have missed you very much. How is everything in the pack?”
“Me too, Luna. Everything is fine. After all, we have the best Alpha.”
Dr. Baldwin quickly wiped the gel off my stomach and handed me a card.
“Luna, this is my personal phone number. If you need anything, please call me at any time. Whether it is day or night, I will come as soon as possible. I am staying at the hotel Alpha has arranged for me. It is not far from here. Of course, I will also come to visit you from time to time.”
“That would be great, Dr. Baldwin.”
Alonso and Susanna were waiting in the living room as Dr. Baldwin helped me out of the room. We exchanged a few more pleasantries before Dr. Baldwin bowed to me again and wished us good night. Then, Alonso walked him downstairs.
“He looks very happy,” said Susanna to me after they left the room.
“Who are you talking about? Dr. Baldwin or Alonso?”
“Uh, I’m talking about the doctor, but Alonso is too. He has been looking forward to the arrival of your little wolf every day.”
“Dr. Baldwin is an amazing gentleman. He has always been caring and kind to me. Of course, Alonso is too, although his mouth is sometimes a little too crude.”
Susanna laughed as she helped me into the bathroom to wash up. My stomach was already very big, which made me feel as heavy as an elephant from time to time.
