Chapter 411: Knowing Our Baby

I nodded my head firmly once to affirm that he got it down quite correctly. In fact, I didn’t think that I could summarize my own dream in such an effective way like he had just done.

“What do you think?” I asked when the prince suddenly went silent.

"Honestly, Mila, I don’t know what to think. This has never happened before, so I don’t know how to take it. I do wish, and I would like to hope, that the wolf inside you would help us and our baby," the prince said before he leaned forward to place a tender kiss on my forehead.

"Can we do like an ultrasound to see our baby transforming? I mean, we’re assuming that he or she is transforming, but it could just be normal movements, right?" I asked.

I wondered if ultrasounds were also against the rules or if the effect would trigger the baby to transform even more often.

"I guess we can consult the doctors about it," Prince Leonard said noncommittally.

...

The combination of factors led to my first ultrasound session after my first request was denied. I was depressed for around a week after that before I came to terms that there was probably nothing else that I could do but wait and see as my baby continued growing in my belly. Ever since having that dream of the wolf, I did not dream of it again. Because of that, I had no idea if the wolf was even helping me or if it was just all in my head. I felt like a very crazy person because of all the nonsensical thoughts that ran through my head on repeat. I got even more desperate and tried finding ways to connect with the wolf that was supposed to be inside me.

Since dreaming didn’t work at night, I tried to take naps during the day in hopes that our minds would connect the way that they did before. Unfortunately, I wasn’t at all lucky, and I never managed to catch hold of that wolf again. Despite the fright from my sudden bleeding, everything seemed calm without any complications afterward. I even got used to feeling my baby moving inside of my belly. At first, every single movement scared me to death, and I waited to see whether it would lead to any spotting. However, as a few weeks went by, I began trusting that things might work out between the baby and my body.

"Why do you think they suddenly allowed for an ultrasound?" I asked, sounding quite excited.

The doctors told me that normally getting an ultrasound wasn’t something risky; however, there could be unknown risks associated with my pregnancy. Regardless, I told the prince that I was excited that we would get to see our baby. On top of that, if they allowed the ultrasound, then we would also find out the gender of our baby.

"I guess everyone is anxious to know about our baby. The king’s patience is clearly running out as well, so he probably wants to know everything as fast as possible instead of sticking to the usual conventions," the prince replied before grinning my way.

"Well, no matter the reason, it’s good that we get to do this ultrasound. I also want a few answers myself, and I’m also curious about the gender of our baby," I said before smiling brightly. It felt like a long time had passed since the last time that I felt this energetic.

I felt excited when the ultrasound session started. In contrast, Prince Leonard looked quite nervous as he sat close to the bed as we both watched the screen. I almost squealed in delight when I saw my baby on the screen. I looked up countless videos and photos on the internet of baby ultrasounds, so I wasn’t surprised at what I was seeing. It also felt great to see that my baby didn’t look at all different from the ones that I saw before on the internet.

"Is it a girl or a boy?" I asked without beating around the bush.

The short moment that the doctor took to confirm the gender of our baby by ultrasound felt like an eternity for me. At that moment, I wasn’t sure what I was hoping for because I was so excited about everything. Prince Leonard gave my hand a squeeze, and I squeezed his hand back in return as we both waited for an answer from the doctor.

"Congratulations, your baby is a boy," the doctor announced with a bright smile our way.

"A boy?" I had no idea why I was so happy because I didn’t have any preference between the two genders.

At that point in time, it felt like whatever news related to the baby was good news that excited me beyond measure. Now it was easier to imagine our family going forward, with the prince and me and our little baby boy. Princess Leonard leaned in to plant a kiss on my cheek. I could feel that he was just as happy as I was because we couldn’t stop smiling at each other. I felt so giddy as if I was a young child that had just received an unexpected present.

"Now let’s see if we can catch the baby transforming," the doctor said, suddenly sounding very serious.

I could understand the seriousness of this moment because of the heavy implication that it signifies. If my baby transformed into his wolf form, then there is a very high to almost absolute chance that my baby is, in fact, an ultimate alpha.

"Does the baby move often usually?" the doctor asked.

"I think so. I can feel his movements quite often nowadays," I replied truthfully.

I was still very on the fence about whether or not I wanted my baby to turn out to be an ultimate Alpha. Even though we had just found out that the baby is a boy and not a girl, there was still a chance that the baby is not ultimate Alpha. Although I didn’t know for sure, the fact that I almost lost the baby once, along with the other complications that came along with it, made me believe that that was a chance that my baby was indeed an ultimate alpha.
