Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0128

I think she was getting sick of the same four walls of her hospital room, not to mention seeing the same people. She had near enough begged me to visit. So, I had been to the store and bought her some magazines and some treats before work, and had planned on heading to see her as soon as I finished work.

The pack hospital was busy as I entered through the automatic doors, and walked down the corridor. Only to bump into Alpha Caleb. His face lit up into a smile as he saw me. “Aww, Bailey, right?” he said, stopping in front of me. “You on your way to see Eden?” he asked and I nodded.

“Yeah.” I agreed, unsure what else to say to him.

“She did say you were coming. Come on, I will take you up to see her, then you know where to go. She will be happy to see you. Think she gets bored with the same faces.” He said with a chuckle.

“Thanks Alpha.” I nodded at him, feeling awfully uncomfortable, as I don’t know the guy particularly well.

“No worries. I hope you are settling in okay. We would have liked to have been there for you a little more, but this little one is being a right little pain in the butt. Though, Eden says it isn’t doing anything to me, like I’m not worried about her and the baby.” He grinned.

I smiled, feeling a little awkward at his words, feeling like I didn’t really know them well enough to comment. “I am sure you are both worried. Baby will be worth it once they have arrived.”

“Oh for sure.” The Alpha has the biggest smile on his face as he says that, telling me he is super excited at being a Dad for the second time, making me wonder if he was even aware of Luna Eden’s fears of everything that was approaching…

Having walked down what felt like a serious maze of corridors, which I am sure all hospitals plan their corridors like to confuse you, we arrived at the end of a corridor, with a doorway, to what looked like a suite. The Alpha opened the door, and walked in, and I heard Luna Eden speak as he walked in. “Didn’t you just leave?”

I couldn't help but smile at her, and even more so at the Alpha’s response. “Aww, and I love you too, baby! So lovely to see your bright and beautiful face!” he stuck his tongue out and blew a raspberry at her before continuing. “However, I found someone on the corridor I thought you might like to see.”

Alpha Caleb motioned for me to come into the room, so I awkwardly walked in to the modernly equipped hospital room, where Luna Eden laid on the bed, looking hot and bothered, and far from comfortable. “Yay! Bailey!” she said, full of enthusiasm.

I smiled in response to her, ready to say hello as I heard a chair near the side of the bed scrape, and a throat clearing, making me look across, only to find Asher sitting there, about to stand, looking uncomfortable. “I will get going Eden. Leave you to spend time with Bailey.” He said, avoiding my gaze.

“What?” Luna Eden said with surprise. “You just got her Ash, don’t be ridiculous. I can hold a conversation with more than one person at once, you know? I know it may be beyond your abilities, but I can manage it.”

Asher was now standing, like he still intended. “Honestly sweetheart, it is fine, I will let you spend some time with Bailey. I can come back later.”

The atmosphere in the room was uncomfortable, to say the least. Asher could not wait to get away, all because I walked in to the room, it seemed...

Luna Eden was now frowning. “Sit down you idiot. You only just got here. Don’t be so rude.” She snapped, and I realized then, there was no denying, that things with Asher were more than a little

awkward, and he suddenly seemed to want to avoid me altogether after what had happened last night…
