Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian)
Chapter 63: Baby Girl

Giselle's POV

I lay weakly on the hospital bed after the Pack Doctor managed to save my baby and keep it from dying.

All the pain has finally left my body. My baby and I are back to our normal health again. I just needed to rest until my body recovered on its own to avoid another incident like this in the future.

After giving everyone a scare, the Pack Doctor worked fast and diligently to save my baby, the future Alpha of this Pack.

The Pack Doctor was in full concentration as he worked, knowing that he would lose his head if he failed to save my child.

A profound sense of relief washed over him after he managed to keep my baby safe and alive with his successful emergency procedure.

After my body and the baby's health had stabilized, the Pack Doctor finally allowed me to have me moved to a hospital room for a complete bed rest.

I blinked my eyes as I stared directly at the blank ceiling above me. The whole room is in silence since the Pack Doctor prohibits anyone from entering the room in the meantime.

I should be sleeping right now, but even with the pain and exhaustion that tolled over my body, I still couldn't sleep as thoughts bothered my mind.

Jealousy wrapped itself around my heart as I remembered how Victoria, Killian, and Damien rushed to me with concern that was only directed at my unborn child.

No one was worried about me. They were just worried about whether my child would survive or not.

I was the one in pain. I was the one crying in agony in front of them, yet all they cared about was to be careful and not to put the child at risk.

I know that the baby was in danger more than me. I punched myself in my belly to drive direct harm to my womb.

I did that to purposefully drive harm to my child, but it wasn't my intention to kill it or put any permanent harm on it. With the technological enhancements and our advanced medicine, I wasn't scared of anything. I'm sure that nothing bad would happen to my child.

I only did that to scare Damien and to stop him from exposing the truth. Now that he knows that I'm not afraid of harming his child, I'm sure he won't do that ever again.

I would punch myself in the belly again if I ever heard him mention this thing to anyone again.

"You're already awake," The Pack Doctor spoke when he entered the room and saw my eyes open.

"I-I just woke up," I lied. "Is there anything wrong?" I asked him.

Earlier, he told me that everything would be all right, and I just needed to rest. What is he doing here, now?

"I actually have some news to tell you. During the procedure, I saw the gender of your baby. As the mother of the child, I thought I should let you know about it first."

"Is he going to be a boy?" I swallowed hard as I asked him.

I gripped the bedsheets tightly as anxiety gripped me. Please be a boy; you need to be a boy.

"I-It's a baby girl, Luna Giselle," The Doctor finally answered.

My breath got caught in my throat as dread washed over my body. I blinked my eyes in disbelief as my face paled.

Victoria would hate me if she found out I have a daughter, and Killian might change his mind about marrying me if he found out that my child won't be the Pack's future heir at all. This cannot be! All they care about is the child. If things didn't come out as they expected, then everything would be over.

I shook my head. "That can't be! It can't be a girl!"

"I'm sure your child is a girl, Luna Giselle. I could never get this wrong."

I continued to shake my head, unable to accept the truth. This isn't right. I cannot have a daughter. Whatever happens, I should have a son.

"N-No one should know about this," I spoke up as I collected myself together.

Dread and fear still filled me as I thought of how many times I'd already failed before. This is the only chance that I have. I cannot waste this opportunity anymore.

I have put in an effort to get here. I need to get through this. I can never fail myself again.

"Luna Giselle-"

"No one must know that my child is a girl, do you understand!" I spoke more firmly this time.

I watched how his throat bobbed up

and down because of my words. "You have to tell them that I'm having a son. If anyone replaces out that I'm having a daughter, I will take away your position and ruin your reputation. Do you understand that?

The Pack Doctor's eyes widened in fear. His hands trembled as his lips bobbed up and down like a fish. His life and everything he has ever worked hard for are at stake here, just like mine.

If he told them the truth, I would take

away everything that he has. "Ifè Alpha Killian replaces out that I lied to him, he would also do the same. You can no longer hide the child's true gender after she's born."

"I will take care of that. All you have to do is to hide this secret and do as I say. No matter what happens, I'm going to give birth to a son. Is that clear?" I demanded with a straight face.

It's either I give birth to a son, or I give up everything. My life and my own future are at stake here, so I could never choose to give up.
