Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker -
Bonus Chapter 2.1
Lauren's POV
"Paging Dr. Blanco. You are needed at the emergency room."
My check up with the patient in room 412 was done when I heard the speaker blaring my name.
When everything went back to normal, Mila and I went back to work in the hospital. My friend remained the as the administrator while I only hold out-patient check-ups every Saturdays. However, since one of my patients was admitted, I was on call. I closed the door of the suite.
"Doctor Blanco, you are needed at the emergency room." The speaker announced again while I was on my way to the elevator.
I looked at my reflection on the steel door of the elevator.
Not a hair was astray. My hands were on the pockets of the white coat I am wearing.
Behind the surgical mask on my face, a wide smile pasted on my lips when I saw my bulging stomach.
After the mating ceremony held in the territory of the Midnight Claws Tribe, Victor and I's wedding was held in Sabado Tribe a month later.
The wedding was not grand contrary to everyone's expectation. Although both Victor and I were both from old money and in alpha lineage, we did not like to publicized our wedding. As much as possible, we like to keep it private.
To the shifters' world, we already done our part when we held our mating ceremony. Since wedding is more of a human thing, I have decided to make it as simple as possible.
The guests were handpicked. The promises that I told my grandmother has been carried on. Grandma Anna gave me away on my wedding day as I wore my mother's supposed-to-be wedding dress.
As usual, the tears flowed but for cheerful reasons.
My musing halted when I saw the chaotic state of the emergency room. As I neared, I heard that there was an accident that happened in Highway 28. Two vehicles collided, a delivery van and a public transportation bus that was half full.
"Doctor Blanco," a nurse approached her. "We have a pregnant woman in her thirties. She is in her second trimester. She sustained a head wound and possibly, her stomach collided in something hard. She may have fall on her front when the accident happened." She continued as they marched towards the curtained station.
"Is she conscious?"
"No, Doctor."
"How's her vitals?"
"Her pulse is weak. Her blood pressure is dropping. The baby's heartbeat is very weak, too."
"Ultrasound?"
"Working on it?"
I pushed aside the curtain and found the patient and two other attendants. The ultra-sound machine was on the side.
The woman is wearing a floral maternity dress. A pair of black leggings covered her legs. Someone already removed her shoes.
She is still unconscious. The side of her head is still bleeding but very minimal. Blood splatter on the side of right cheek.
My eyes went to the monitor that shows her vitals. It was not good.
The nurse gave way and allow me to step beside the patient.
The two attendants were both shifters and they knew of my abilities. It was the reason why I was called.
Without second thoughts, I placed my right hand on the woman's forehead while the other was on top of her protruding stomach.
I felt something inside me. From my core, an invisible force moved towards my arms down to the tips of my fingers.
The monitor from the ultrasound emitted a strong thud.
The rest of the attendant that surrounded the pregnant woman released a relieved sigh.
When I saw the vitals on the monitor was back to normal, I removed my hands from the woman.
"You got a fighter, mama." I told the unconscious mother.
"Thank you, Doctor Blanco."
"Part of the job. Good job everyone."
I went out of the temporary room with a delighted heart. Outside was less hectic compared when I passed by minutes ago. The pregnant woman must be the most critical among the casualties of the accident. My feet brought me to the Doctors' Lounge.Updated by Narugi.com, visit for more free novels.
Usually, the staff came here during quick breaks. They only served drinks and snacks.
"Chocolate mousse, Doc?"
"Yes, please. A bottle of water, too, and a cup of coffee."
"Your handsome husband is coming."
"Yes. He will be here in a few minutes."
Since I got pregnant, I craved sweets more. My inclination veered to my forever favorite, the strawberry shortcake. However, the hospital has it only on Fridays.
"Thank you, dear."
I occupied the table where I can oversee the lower floor. It was the hallway where the staff entered. It also leads to the parking lot.
A sigh exited my mouth when the sweet taste touched my tongue.
"This is the life." I muttered under my breath.
My hand went to my protruding stomach.
I am approaching the third trimester of my pregnancy. As expected, my stomach is bigger than most pregnant women. Aside from having a huge mate, I am also carrying a child that has alpha genes on both sides of his parents. An even wider smile painted my lips when I saw the person coming my way.
Victor is a sight to behold. He is such a stunning man. An even better mate and a great father to our child.
He called me earlier that he will be in the hospital in an hour. His meeting with a client ended earlier than expected.
When my pregnancy reached the second semester, Victor no longer allowed me to drive or leave the manor alone. Either he accompanied me or a warrior would.
"Cake again, my love?" He asked before he dropped a kiss on my head.
"Your child wants it."
He did not make a comment. He pulled the chair in front of me and sit on it. I pushed the cup of coffee to him.
"Thank you." He said before taking a sip. "I saw you in the emergency bay." He said after a while.
"Yeah. There was a critical patient that involves a baby."
"How are they?"
"That mama has a fighter child inside her."
"I'm glad."
"Everything went well with the new client, Love?"
"Yeah."
A frown marred my face when he chose not to elaborate. Often, Victor would tell me what transpired in his meetings. "What's wrong, Victor?"
I let go of the dessert I am eating. My arms crossed I front of me as I looked at him.
Victor exhaled. He stared into my eyes before opening his mouth.
"I was already in the lobby when I heard your name being paged." He paused. "Doctor Blanco, huh?"
My frown deepened. Victor turned away after a while.
"Never mind. Do you still have a patient?"
I shook my head in response.
My alpha mate stood up. I remained on my seat but my gaze lingered on him. His words were still playing on head.
"Let's go, Love."
My eyes blinked when I realized what he was trying to tell me. I tried to hide the smile from showing. "Lauren?"
"My alpha," I called out.
I grabbed his hand to get his full attention. I looked into his dark, expressive eyes.
"My nameplate will be arriving next week. It includes my new coat as well as the stamp." I disclosed.
He breathed out.
"You could have told the staff that you changed your name already. That you are married. They could have called you with your new name while waiting for the nameplate."
I was not able to stop the giggle from leaving my mouth. It was a little out of character for Victor to behave this way but he is so cute!
"I'm sorry."
"I know it's a lot to take in. Changing your name and all but you promised me that you will use my name." He said in a sad tone. "It's been months, my Luna." Grinning, I pulled Victor's hand.
"I am working on it, Love. Besides, I am getting used to signing my name with yours."
"Really?" I nodded. "Thank you."
Victor helped me stand.
"Let's go home, my Alpha."
"Alright, Dr. Miller."
I chuckled. "I like the sound that."
Hand and in hand, they head to the direction of the clinic to get my things. Meanwhile, the male alpha is already smiling as they marched away from the lounge.
