The Wolf In Me

Chapter 27: Winter and Karina

No One's POV

Lisa suddenly sat up in bed, her eyes opened wide as they could be. Her mouth was opened to the shape of an O, but nothing but a gasp came out of it. She looked like she was starting to hyperventilate.

Jennie sat up and moved right in front of Lisa. "I'm having our baby. Do you remember how, due to some strange quirk of our nature, werewolf females can get each other pregnant? Well you did it. You got me pregnant." Jennie said with a smile as she took Lisa's hand and placed it on her belly.

"A baby!" Lisa said, stunned beyond belief as she tried to catch her breath.

"That's right, I've got a little princess in my belly, not to mention the future princess. That's also the reason I've been acting so strangely. Sometimes with werewolf females, they get really emotionally unstable at the beginning of pregnancy. Do you remember how emotionally all over the place I was when we first went to rescue Rosé and Seulgi. That was a sign of it. When you kept me from going after Hyekyo with you, I was angry. But all the pregnancy hormones amplified my anger several times. I'm sorry."

"How did you find out? You seem normal now? A baby, I can't believe it." Lisa said, her hands practically shaking. She seemed excited but at the same time a bit freaked out.

"My mom half suspected from the way I was acting when I nearly took my sisters head off. She took me into see my uncle Daesung. He ran the tests and discovered I was about a month pregnant. He also gave me some medicine that will keep my hormones from not getting totally out of wack but they will still to a certain degree."

Lisa pushed some hair that had fallen across her face as she starred at Jennie's belly. "I remember something about a story about a wizard and two girls I think. Your mom told it to me."

Jennie could tell that Lisa was freaking out and needed to be calmed down. "Just lie with me and I'll tell you that version of the story. There are several other versions but that's my favorite. "

Lisa laid down facing Jennie as she began the tale. "A very long time ago in a small valley there was two girls. Their names were Winter and Karina. They lived near each other in this small valley and ever since childhood they spent nearly ever waking our together. Walking, playing in the fields and forests, in both wolf and in human form. There were other people their ages but they preferred each others company."

All the while Jennie told the story, she gently stroked her mate's hair. Lisa, as she listened to the story started to calm down.
