Alpha’s Virgin Stripper
Chapter 170

Jojo:

I ran to meet the alpha. He had the doctor's neck in his hands. Lucian's eyes were partially opened, but his breathing was still the same.

The doctor did not pay attention to my presence. Instead, he narrowed his eyes on the alpha, and soon widened it as though he had seen something he did not see before. The first look on his face was recognition, before terror and confusion. "Alpha... Alpha Lake?" He said out loud. I noticed some eyes turn to us. Instinctively, I masked Lucian's face from their prying eyes with my palms. I was still panicking. Hoping that he would quickly attend to Lucian and I. Alpha Lake placed the doctor on the ground, sucking in deep breaths to stop his panting.

"By the goddess! I am very sorry, Alpha Lake Rush. I had no idea... none of us had any idea you were here. But, what might you be doing in our pack? Because..."

The alpha snorted, he eyed the rather short man in front of us and spoke, his voice was laced with the anger in his heart.

"That is not the problem, that should not be your concern. Attend to my son, right now." He growled.

It was then that the doctor's eyes traveled from the alpha's frame and landed on mine. He did not seem convinced, but he did not voice his opinion. "Your baby?"

"Do you need me to repeat myself? I said right now!" Alpha Lake thundered again. The noise started to make Lucian cry. He did not like noisy places.

I kissed his forehead gently and held him close to my chest. I was never going to let any harm come to my boy. I would die before I ever let anything bad happen to him. He had become a part of my life in the time I least expected, and he was my favourite person in the world now.

"Please, come with me. We will head to the VIP ward and I would call the chief paediatrician." The doctor spoke. He started to walk ahead of us, and alpha Lake took my right arm and led me out of the noise and pungent smell of bleach. We were led up a flight of stairs into a different, quiet and serene part of the hospital. The doctor ushered the alpha and I into a room. Blue polished walls stared back at me. A nurse took Lucian from my arms and placed him on the small bed in front of the alpha and I.

I continued to watch my baby as he screamed at the top of his voice. The nurse watched and examined him, while the doctor hurried to get one that could treat my child.

I did not know I was visibly trembling until the alpha placed his right hand on my left shoulder. His warm hand squeezed it gently. I stopped shaking and raised my eyes to look at him.

His eyes were warm. I could tell he was worried to, but he was trying to be strong. He was trying to be the father Lucian needed, and I really appreciated it. If he had not been here today, if he did not do what he did earlier, I was not sure I would have been able to cope. I did not know what I would have done.

"He is going to be alright, Jojo. Nothing would happen to our baby. Nothing would happen to any of you as long as I'm alive, I swear on it."

Before I could reply, the door opened and a woman rushed into the room. I panicked once more and looked up at her.

The young woman - she couldn't have been more than thirty - looked up at us, allowing her gaze to wander between the alpha and I.

"I'm doctor Martha and I'm the paediatrician in charge. What did you say was wrong with him?"

Alpha Lake caressed my shoulder, giving me the morale I needed to speak.

"We were in the car, on our way to the doctor. He turned red, started crying, and I realized he couldn't breathe." Terrified, I stopped to draw in air. The doctor turned to the alpha. He decided to continue the explanation.

"His breathing started to slow down. We tried to get a doctor to attend to us, but I had to throw a fucking tantrum first."

"How long has it been?"

"About fifteen minutes. And why are we still talking about this? Why aren't you checking the baby?" The alpha queried. I still couldn't replace the words to speak.

"My apologies, alpha Lake. You must excuse me now and head to the waiting room. I'll like to start examination." The doctor responded. It irritated me how she was cool as ice, when I was on the verge of throwing myself out of the window with panic.

I opened my mouth to speak, but the alpha caught hold of my wrist. I turned to look at him and he shook his head gently. He was fully aware of the venom I was about to spit.

He led me out of the room and a nurse closed the door behind us. The curtains were drawn over the windows to block our view.

"They don't want me to see my baby. Why won't they let me see what they are doing to my baby?" I muttered underneath my breath, tears poured down my eyes as I cried. "Here, come here." Alpha Lake called out to me. In his eyes was a deep concern, deep care and love rooted somewhere in his iris. He opened his arms, beckoning on me.

I did not know if I wanted to, but I knew that I needed to. I moved closer to him and eased my way into his arms. Immediately my head touched his chest, the warmth of his body caused my emotions to spiral.

I cried out and wrapped my arms around him. I held him as firmly as I could. His thick arms engulfed me in a tight embrace. He allowed me to melt into his skin, he allowed me to wet his shirt with my salty tears. One hand patted my back, while the other caressed the back of my head, his fingers intertwined with the strands of my hair, slowly massaging my skull.

By the goddess! I did not know how my life had turned around in such a short period of time, but I knew I was grateful to have him here with me. It was never soothing to be alone. I was glad that he was here with me.

He protected and stood up for Lucian every time. He stayed back to fight for his child, to fight for me. Lucian was lucky, he was a really lucky baby to have a father like alpha Lake. I was also happy to have a man like the alpha as my baby's father. I did not know what I would have done without him, I didn't.

"Come on, Jojo. Now you're sounding like Lucian." He teased.

Admist my tears, he managed to make me laugh.

Good goddess! I loved this man, I really did.

His phone started to vibrate in his back pocket, the alpha reached for it.

It was his mother, Mrs Smith, calling. He took a short glance at me, before answering the call and placing it on loud speaker.

"Lake, is Jojo there? Is everything okay? How is the doctor's appointment going? Has Lucian been attended to?" She started to throw questions once we answered the call. It felt like she had sensed something was not right. "Yes, Mrs Smith. Everything is fine." I replied, fighting hard to swallow my tears.

"You don't say. So, why is it all over the news that alpha Lake and his child were spotted in the ER of a hospital in Ten?"

My heart fell, rose and fell again.

"What?!" I thundered.

"Bloody bloggers." alpha Lake cursed.

"Do you guys need me to come over? I could come." Mrs Smith continued. I wanted to speak, but the alpha was quicker.

"That's not necessary, mother. There's nothing to worry about. We can take care of it." He replied.

Soon, he ended the call and led us to a bench by the wall. There, alpha Lake intertwined my right fingers with his left. We said nothing, we let our silence do the talking.

The door of the ward opened and the female doctor stepped out of it. I sprang up from my seat and the alpha followed.

The doctor looked relaxed, which was a good sign.

"Your baby is alright and healthy. He is asleep now. We can discuss more in my office when you're ready." She said to us.

I let out a deep sigh and rushed to hug the alpha again. Tears filled my eyes, but they were tears of joy.

"I told you it was going to be alright."

He did, he really did.

The woman was still standing in front of us, as though she had more to say.

Alpha Lake and I turned to her. She cleared her throat and spoke.

"I was told that some reporters called the hospital, knowing if you'll like an interview."

Alpha Lake's smile disappeared. I decided to speak.

"No, we would like to keep things away from the media for now." I replied calmly.

"That is respectable. But people are presuming all sorts of things and..."

"We do not care." Alpha Lake cut in, causing the woman to swallow her words.

He wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to himself. "People can presume whatever they like."
