The Headmaster Alpha's Mate
The Headmaster Alpha’s Mate Chapter 109

Nicki lay in her bed, she was more than a little fed up now, she felt totally useless, as she shuffled onto her side, to relieve the ache in her back. She was missing Josh like crazy, but happily, now it was new years eve, her mate would return to her, and that gave her melancholy mood a boost. Tomorrow would be Zander and Chloe’s wedding, and she was more determined than ever to ensure she attended and preceded her best friend down the aisle on her big day. Andrew could go swing if he thought she was going to miss it. She was strong enough to manage a short walk and could spend the rest of the festivities laid on the sofa. On top of that the pack had been busy, dealing with the new members, and she was bored beyond belief.

Nicki pondered on how to get her doctor to agree, if Josh carried her, so that she could lay on the large sofas in the living area, for the party. But if it came down to a choice between attending the party, or the wedding, she would of course choose the wedding. But she had every finger and toe crossed, that they would agree to her attending both.

Nicki watched the clock that sat above the door frame as the seconds ticked by, impatiently waiting for 11 am when she knew Josh would arrive. She shuffled in the bed again, as he back once more began to ache, and blew out a breath, carrying human / werewolf hybrids inside you really was uncomfortable.

“I wish daddy was here.” Nicki sighed out to her bump that looked like it had dropped low since yesterday.

“We miss him, don’t we.” She continued her conversation with the baby inside her.

She rubbed her large low stomach lovingly, she could not wait to meet her little girl, for life to return to some normality. Reaching over to the bedside table, Nicki grabbed hold of her juice bottle, and took a sip. A light knock at the door, made her smile. Finally, she would have a little bit of company.

The door opened, and Andrew stood smiling.

“How is my favourite patient today?” he asked her, knowing his step-daughter was fed up of being on bed rest.

“Bored, to what do I owe the pleasure?” Nicki asked

“Well, I have come to do your b***d pressure, and if that is okay, I have some good news.” Andrew smiled.

Nicki held out her arm, as he placed the cuff around the top, and set off the machine.

“All good.” Andrew smiled warmly at her.

“So, what is the good news?” Nicki asked, her eyes wide with hope it was something she thought good, and not just him.

“The last measurements of the baby indicated she is at what would normally be 38 weeks gestation, her lungs are fully formed, which means, you can get off bed rest. If you promise to take it easy, and just lay around on the sofa’s downstairs.” Andrew grinned.

Nicki let out a shriek of delight.

“Really?” she asked as Andrew chuckled and nodded at her.

“Yes really.” He grinned, pleased to give her the news.

“Now we know the baby is not at risk of being premature, you can move about, within reason.” He warned.

“Oh, you do not know how happy that makes me.” Nicki grinned.

“This has been the longest pregnancy ever.” She added.

Andrew chuckled at her.

“You have only been pregnant for 27 weeks Nicki, normally you would be pregnant for 40 with a human baby, it is only because for some reason she has had a rapid werewolf growth spurt that you are good to go.” Andrew laughed.

“Oh, I know, I should not complain, but it has been horrid stuck up here, and everyone busy.” Nicki smiled shyly, feeling a little like a moaning Minnie about her situation.

Chloe stuck her head around the door, to see Nicki’s wide smile and grinned at her.

“So… you are free.”

“Yeah, I cannot believe it.” Nicki grinned.

“Well, I have an hour or so, whilst Phoenix is having her morning nap, so I am here to help get you showered, and all pretty ready for Josh coming.” Chloe grinned.

“Oh, thank you, I absolutely hated them bed baths Mum gave me, I never felt clean afterwards.” Nicky clapped her hands with glee.

Chloe pulled out her make up bag, and Nicki frowned slightly.

“You are not going to make my face all, ‘Chloe’ like, are you?” Nicki asked.

“Oi, what’s up with my face?” Chloe jested with her.

“Nothing, on you, you suit weird and wacky, it looks great. But on me, not so much.” Nicki protested.

Chloe threw her head back laughing.

“I could take offence at that. It is a good job I love you.” Chloe giggled at her best friend.

“I promise, no weird ‘Chloe’ Make-up, just nice Nicki style.” Chloe winked.

“Okay, I will leave you girls to it, make sure you stay with her in the shower, maybe take a chair in there in case she gets lightheaded.” Andrew smiled, then waved as he left them to it.

A few moments later, Caroline arrived with a plastic chair, and placed it into the large walk-in shower.

“Thank you, Caroline, how is Drake?” Nicki asked.

“Amazing.” Caroline gushed.

“He is putting on weight and muscle, he is going to start training with everyone after the wedding. He is such a sweetheart, always looking out for me, and the kids. I get home from work and the house is spotless, tea is on the table, so that we can eat together, he is seriously the best mate ever.” Caroline blushed as she thought about her mate.

“Still no mark yet?” Nicki strained her neck to see Caroline’s marking spot.

“Not yet, but I don’t think it will be long.” Caroline grinned.

“Well, if you want a mating moon, I am sure Zander will organise something for the both of you. We can look after Tom and James.” Chloe offered.

“Thank you, Chloe, but with everything, you have enough on your plate.” Caroline protested.

“We do, but at the same time, what is the point of all this, if we cannot look after our own. Even if it is just a couple of nights in a swanky hotel.” Chloe grinned at the omega.

“I agree, you need some kid free time with your mate, to enjoy yourselves.” Nicki nodded, as Caroline blushed bright pink.

“A couple of days off, when the kids go back to the academy would not go amiss.” Caroline giggled as Chloe and Nicki nodded their heads at her.

“Oh, I think we can do better than that.” Chloe added, then took hold of Nicki under her arms and helped get her out of bed, and into the shower.

“Do you need a hand Chloe?” Caroline asked.

“No, I got this, if you don’t mind doing a check on our new pack member’s please, that would be a massive help.” Chloe grinned, as Caroline nodded, and left the room.

The warm water cascaded down Nicki’s body as she sat on the plastic chair, she moved a little as her back once again began to ache, making a loud farting noise as she did so.

“That better not stink!” Chloe laughed.

“Seriously, after the one you dropped in Mr Dixons lab that day, you are not one to talk, however, it was not wind, it was the plastic chair, and the water.” Nicki protested.

“Yeah, yeah, if you say so.” Chloe teased, giggling at her friend.

“So, are you ready to get out yet?” Chloe asked.

“Do I have too? Seriously, being in this warm water is bliss.” Nicki sighed.

“If you want to be all done up for Josh arriving, and the party later tonight, then yeah, we need to get you out of this shower, and ready.” Chloe smiled at her friend.

“If you put it like that, then I suppose I better get out.” Nicki nodded her agreement.

Chloe helped her up, and wrapped a big bath sheet around her, and began to help get her friend dried.

“Chloe, what do my feet look like?” Nicki suddenly asked.

Chloe looked at her, not understanding why she would ask her what her feet looked like. Maybe Josh had a foot fetish or something.

“Why would you ask that?” Chloe giggled.

“Because I have not seen them in so long, and I currently miss them, and my waist.” Nicki shrugged.

“I will give you a pedicure if we have time.” Chloe laughed.

Chloe looked at her masterpiece, she had done a natural make up on Nicki, and had blow dried her hair into soft waves that cascaded down her back.

“You look beautiful.” She smiled at her best friend.

“I look like a beached whale, but thanks for being a friend.” Nicki laughed.

“So, I have a nice dress for tonight.” Chloe pulled the maxi empire lined black maternity dress out of the closet.

Then went to the drawers to pick out Nicki’s underwear.

“Not the lacey sexy stuff, to uncomfortable, grab them black cotton granny pants.” Nicki stated.

“What these, you could house the new omegas in these Nicki.” Chloe laughed.

“Do not diss my granny pants, they are comfy as anything, I may never go back to sexy knickers again.” Nicki grinned.

“I hope you do.” The baritone voice of Josh stated as he entered the bedroom, his smile wide.

“Josh, you are early!” Nicki cried out in delight.

“I couldn’t wait to get back to you my little froggy. So, I headed over ahead of the pack. Gav, Liam and Kris are rounding up the troupes so to speak.” Josh laughed, then headed over to his mate wrapped in just a large towel, and passionately kissed her on the lips.

“Oi, don’t smug her lipstick!” Chloe mocked Josh, as he flipped her the bird in response.

“I will help my mate get ready now.” Josh grinned.

“Okay… no getting freaky with her, she is just off bedrest.” Chloe teased before waving at the pair of them, who took no notice, they were too wrapped up in each other and left them to it.

The rest of the day passed in a blur, as Nicki and Josh, talked about anything and everything. Finally, it became so late, they needed to get ready for the party. True to his word, Josh helped his mate into her long evening maternity dress.

“You are so stunning.” Josh smiled with pride as she stood in front of him.

She was always beautiful to him, but her carrying their pup inside her, made her even more stunning in his eyes.

“Now, I am under strict instructions to carry you down the stairs, to the living room.” Josh grinned, lifting her up into his strong arms.

“You may need a crane.” Nicki giggled.

“Nonsense, you are still as light as a feather to me.” Josh laughed.

“Oh, my big strong mate. I love you.” Nicki giggled.

“Not as much as I love you my little froggy.” Josh grinned, then left the room and carried her down the stairs to the living room.

The Kris set up the sound system in the living room, whilst Gav and Liam ensured the disco lights were working perfectly. His black t-shirt strained against his chest muscles. He was a wolf on a mission tonight. He did not have a mate, so he was young free and most definitely single. He was determined to get a wolf to have a new years k**s with.

As he spun the decks and did a sound check, a smell filled his nostrils, rose and vanilla, it was captivating, and instantly his wolf began to howl in his head.

“Find the smell, leave that, replace who has that delicious smell.” Parker his wolf howled at him.

Kris, shook his head, trying to regain control of his legs as they grew a mind of their own, following the scent that was driving his wolf all kinds of crazy.

He stopped in front of Zoe, her red hair in a French braid, hanging to her waist. Wearing a short green dress that hugged her every curve, and instantly, his manhood stood to attention.

Zoe could smell a minty fragrance, that made her senses go into overdrive, as she turned around her eyes locked with the most gorgeous man she had ever seen in her life.

“MATE!” Kris growled out as Zoe looked at him.

“Mate!” she repeated to them, as he lifted her into his arms, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, he carried her off to a private room.

Chloe looked at Zander, as she bounced Phoenix on her knee, and giggled.

“I think, those two are not going to wait to mate and mark.” She laughed.

Nicki lay on the sofa, as Josh, stroked her blonde waves with his hand.

“Nope, I think they will be marked before midnight.” Nicki giggled.

Her back ached once more, and she shuffled on her chair, when suddenly she felt something go pop inside her, and water gushed down her leg.

“OH MY WORD!” Nicki shouted, then promptly began to cry.
