Laurel's POV
Things continued to go smoothly after Erik and I had our ceremony. The two of us would continue to make love on our wedding night and by the next morning I was sore. For man who never once been touched by a woman Erik was skilled when it came to sex. My mate had a dominate side similar to mine and he unleashed it that night. A month after we returned to my time Erik was adjusting to the 21st century very well. In face he wore his mask and wig less and less since everyone in the pack liked him. For the moment Erik was doing what he loved to earn a little money and he was teaching the young werewolves to sing, play instruments, and other things a music teacher would do. And as for me I was busy with school and also with the upcoming play.
Rehearsals were going very well and the time for the play was fast approaching. In fact its opening night was next week and bloody hell I was nervous. Today we all had another successful rehearsal and I actually fell asleep in Mike's jeep on the way back to the pack grounds. As well being a student was my job of the Alpha. It was no easy job let me remind you. Every week I would meet in council with my must experienced and trusted members of my pack, Erik being one of them since he was my spouse. It was decided that my husband would have the same power as I did when it came to leading. I was suddenly woken up when the jeep suddenly came to a screeching halt.
"What the hell Mike?" I asked my best friend as he put the jeep into park.
"My leg it's killing me" Mike answered and immediately I opened the door to where I had been sitting in the back as did Alyssa. The two of them were dating and the blonde was worried for boyfriend. Alyssa opened the driver's side and we both helped Mike out of the car. Luckily Mike had pulled off the side of the road and he had turned the jeep off. Alyssa and I sat Mike down on the grass and I began to assess where his pain was. Alyssa comforted Mike as I gently felt around his right leg. I came to a spot where his kneecap met with the lower point of the leg.
"Ow damn!" Mike said as I felt around that certain area.
"I think your knee cap might be broken my friend"
"No it can't!" Mike protested. "I'm the Phantom for god sakes and our understudy is out of town!"
Mike was right about that the understudy had a family emergency and would not return until the show was over.
"Mike if your leg is badly injured you can't play the Phantom now let's get you to the hospital"
We weren't far from our local hospital and some pack members worked there.
At Hospital
I waited patiently in the waiting room with Michael's parents along with Alyssa. I had to make sure my best friend and fellow pack member was alright. I contacted Mr. Knight as soon as we got to the hospital and he was on his way to the hospital. If worse came to shove the play might have to be canceled. My thoughts were broken when I caught my husband's scent along with my mothers and my Aunt Kiara. I stood up and went over to them. Erik wore simply jeans with a black buttoned down shirt and he wore the boots I gave him for our wedding that were similar to the ones he wore back at the Opera House.
To my surprise he didn't have his mask on and the whole side of his right face didn't look scared. Mom wore a green short sleeved shirt underneath a dark blue leather jacket with regular jeans, she wore tennis shoes. Aunt Kiara wore a pretty blue tank top with dark blue jeans and she wore sandals underneath. Today I wore the usual jeans with another Game of Thrones shirt saying that "All Men Must Die", I wore back slip on shoes and my hair was in a pony tail.
"How?" I asked walking to my husband making sure I wasn't seeing things.
"He's under a glamour spell" Aunt Kiara explained.
I had almost forgotten my Aunt had the power of glamour which made sense that Erik's scars weren't visible. A second later the scars caught my eyesight.
"You as his mate can only see his scars while no one else can when the spell is active" Kiara explained.
"Thank you" Erik said to my Aunt and she smiled kindly back at my husband. Suddenly Mr. Knight hurried into the waiting room and he was out of breath.
"Any updates?" the drama teacher asked me.
"Not yet Erik this is our drama teacher at the college who is directing the play"
Mr. Knight turned to my husband and his eyes widened.
"Damn you look exactly like Gerard Butler!"
"I tend to get that a lot" Erik chuckled before Mr. Knight and him shook his hands. The doctor suddenly came over to us and we all turned to her.
"Michael's knee cap is broken and he will need surgery within the next week"
"Son of a bitch" Mr. Knight swore. "He's supposed to play the Phantom in my play"
"I'm sorry but he can't due to his condition sir, with the proper rest he should be able to walk on his own within three months" then the doctor went over to Mike's parents and Alyssa to deliver the bad news.
"This is just great now where am I going to find a new Phantom?" Mr. Knight asked to no one in particular.
I suddenly had an idea but I had to ask my mate first.
How would you feel to play what you already are?
Are you suggesting I replace Michael?
Erik asked through our mating bond.
Who else? Love you are the Phantom of the Opera, you have the looks, you have the voice, and plus I'm Christine anyway, so you don't have to worry about another male kissing me
Erik suddenly smirked at that part and I then turned my attention to a ranting Mr. Knight.
"Mr. Knight I have a suggestion"
I got my drama teacher's attention.
"My husband might able to fill in for Mike he has a wonderful voice"
"That is correct" Mom added in. "Erik would a wonderful Phantom, his voice is breathtaking"
Erik blushed and that made me smirk.
Mr. Knight looked at Erik in thought before he asked.
"Do you have time to come by the college this afternoon and perform a song or two?"
"I have time right now if that is okay with you" Erik suggested.
"Mom go with him to the college so Erik will have some support" I ordered.
"As you wish my love" Mom said before she turned to Erik. I pressed a quick kiss against my husband's lips for good luck before he smirked at me and he turned around and followed after Mr. Knight with Mom trailing behind him. Aunt Kiara suddenly shot me a confusing look and I noticed she was staring at my stomach.
"What is it?" I asked her.
"I'm not sure but I swear I hear a heartbeat inside you"
Immediately I focused my attention to what she just said. Could I be pregnant?
I mean it was possible since I did have sex with my husband. I tried to listen to the supposed heartbeat but I couldn't. I felt my face turn red and I went over to the doctor who was just finishing talking to Michaels's parents and Alyssa.
"Um doc is there somewhere I can get a blood pregnancy test done?"
"Do you think you're expecting?" the female asked me.
"It's possible I am married and my period has been late"
That was true my period was supposed to start a few days ago and it hadn't a sure sign I was pregnant. So the doctor took me and my aunt to the OB-GYN department at the hospital and they took my blood to be tested. I was waiting in the room with my aunt who was talking to my mother through her cell phone. The door to the room opened and in came an OBG-GYN from our pack named Michelle. She was pretty wolf who was middle aged and her hair was black which suited with her brown eyes. She wore scrubs today.
"Hello Alpha I wasn't expecting you to be here" Michelle greeted me.
"I just need to make sure if I am pregnant or not"
Aunt Kiara got off the phone and then waited patiently for the news.
"Your lab results came back positive congratulations Laurel"
"HOLY S**T" I said not believing my ears and I placed a hand to my stomach. Aunt Kiara was smirking like an idiot.
"You will need to make an appointment for your first ultrasound to see how far along you are but I think that's a moment you want to share with your mate, he's a very handsome human and no doubt he will be overjoyed with this news"
I suddenly thought at her comment.
Would Erik be happy to hear that we were having a child?
However deep in my mind I know he would be. He had told on several occasions he wanted to have a child with despite the fact if they had a disfigured face.
Later.
Erik and Mom ended up staying at the college later than expected so I made my betas to hunt down a fresh kill for me so I could feed myself and the unborn child within me. The both of us craved fresh meat and when a dead stag was brought back to the front of the mansion, I had immediately hurried out front and shifted into my wolf form. My hunger overtook me and I ripped apart into the buck's flesh and I began to eat. I ignored the blood staining my fur and entering my mouth as I ate away the delicious yet tough meat to satisfy myself and my pup.
I ate mostly the whole buck but whatever remained I let Michaels's parents have, Mike needed some good meat to help the healing process. I had visited him after finding out I was pregnant and broke the news to him and Alyssa. Both of them smiled like fools at the news. Now I had to break the news to my husband before Mom was told. After I ate I took a shower to get rid of the blood and what not off of me from the buck. Afterwards I brushed my hair and changed into a white summer nightgown with straps at the shoulders waiting for Erik to come back. I didn't have to wait long because the door to my room opened and in came a tired looking Phantom of the Opera.
"How did it go My Sun and Stars?" I asked my mate.
Erik suddenly smirked at me which only meant one thing.
"You're going to playing the Phantom?" I asked sounding excited.
"Yes I am your teacher was blown away at the way I could sing that's why it took so long for me to get home to you" Erik said as he bent down to kiss my forehead. He then went to take a quick shower while I watched Season 6 of Game of Thrones on my I-Pad. Fifteen minutes later Erik came back out of the bathroom wearing a white poet shirt that was open to reveal his chest and black pajama pants.
"You seriously are wearing that?" I growled at my mate not pleased seeing him not shirtless. His blonde hair was wet which I found sexy.
"Do you want me to remove it Moon of My Life?" Erik teased as he came to sit next to me on the bed. I suddenly grabbed the shirt collar and pressed my lips against my husband's. Erik pushed his tongue into my mouth trying to be dominate and I felt him lower one of the straps of my nightgown and one of his hands placed a hand on top of my right breast, his hand caressed it through the nightgown.
"As much as I'm enjoying this My Sun and Stars I have something you must know" I told my husband firmly pressing a hand against his chest so I could push him back.
"What is it your mother said you had a situation at the hospital where you needed to be checked out are you alright?"
"Of course I'm alright you fool, I just needed to get a blood test done"
Erik shot me questioning look and I then kissed the right side of his face before I placed his hand against my stomach. Immediately he figured it out and he looked into my eyes.
"Do you know how far along you are?" he asked.
"Not yet Michelle suggested we have the first ultrasound done together to see how far along I am"
Erik was silent because no doubt he had so many thoughts of going through his mind.
"Your worried aren't you that our child might have scarring"
"That's one this is just new to me Laurel that's all"
"Idiot" I said before I pressed myself into his lap and I kissed his lips in reassurance. The kiss calmed him down and I then pulled away. "You will be a fantastic father Erik, I'm a little nervous myself at being a mother but the two of us will get through it together"
Erik then smiled and he kissed my mouth once more. This time he was more relaxed and the kiss lasted for a few minutes and when he pulled away I growled. He then lowered his head to where his hand still lay on my stomach and then kissed my stomach.
"Be good to your mother little one"
I felt a few tears slide down my face as he rested his head against my stomach for a few minutes before he removed it so he could look back into my eyes.
"What do you think we are having?" he asked.
"To be honest either a boy or girl will suffice"
"I want a daughter more than I want a son" Erik confessed. "And if it's a girl I would like to name her Lyanna"
I had introduced Game of Thrones to Erik and he seemed to like the name Lyanna. He wasn't a big fan on the nude scenes or the violence, but he found the show entertaining to some point.
"If it's a girl then Lyanna it is, as long as her middle name is Christine"
"I like the sound of that, it's a nice way to honor Christine" Erik said and I nodded. I then caressed my mate's face and he smiled at me.
"I love you my Phantom of the Opera"
"And I love you precious Laurel" Erik replied before he suddenly pushed me beneath him and the two of us ended up making love once more.
