<b>Chapter </b><b>392 </b>
<b>I </b>only manage to stifle half my yelp as alpha pulls me into him. Gently, he encourages <b>me </b><b>to </b><b>drop </b><b>my </b>hands from my ears and lean into him as he calms the panic such a normal thing created.
<b>“</b><b>As </b>much as you don’t want to, I strongly believe that sitting in on Jessa’s next appointment <b>will </b>help you understand why the baby was crying.”
I stay in his embrace several minutes before I finally nod my agreement against his neck.
I follow alpha silently back to the medical wing. The door to Jessa’s pediatric room is now open and she’s cleaning up and preparing for the next patient toe in. Alpha knocks politely on the door
and waits for her to answer.
“Alpha, I wasn’t expecting you.” Her voice is shocked but friendly when she’sees the alpha in the
doorway.
“Morning Jessa. I was wondering, if your next patient doesn’t mind, if Cole and I can sit in on your
next check–up?”
I watch alpha step back out of the doorway as a young brte carrying an infant turns down the
hallway.
“Good morning, April. How’s William doing?” Alpha greets the young mother as she approaches the
door.
“Morning alpha. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“I am sorry for any intrusion but I was wondering if I could sit in on William’s check–up today?”
“Yes sir, I’d actually like the input of a parent. I’m sorry Jessa I didn’t see you there. No offense, you’re a great doctor and highly rmended….”
“It’s okay April.” Jessa interrupts her with a gentle hand on her shoulder. “Being trained as a pediatrician gives me an understanding of how William should grow and the milestones he should reach. While I may have theoretical knowledge of how children work, being a parent and putting it to practice is very different.”
I’m surprised at how calmly Jessa handled what would offend most others.
“I can try to give some pointers on what I’ve done with mine but considering you’re a gamma, you may not need the same things that I’ve relied on.<b>” </b>
She nods her head to alpha’sment before turning towards me.
“Who might you be<b>?</b>” She asks easily <b>as </b>I duck my head.
“My name is Cole, ma’am.<i>” </i>
“You’re very respectful for an alpha who’s not part of the pack. Are you shadowing <b>Alpha </b><b>Demetri </b>
today?<i>” </i>
“Yes ma’am.<b>” </b>
“Do you have any children?”
“No ma’am. I’m…”
Before I could finish my thought alpha jumps into the conversation.
“He is a natural with children. He did wonderfully caring for Madilyn and even protected Madisyn from my own wrath when he was extremely ill. My experience with him at the care center showed me that, outside of diaper changes, he’s the perfect babysitter.”
“What’s wrong with diaper changes?” She sounds confused.
“It’s a difficult thing to exin. I’m certain that when he has his own pup he will quickly get beyond
the aversion but right now is not the time.”
“You’re both wee toe in. I’m a little nervous about this visit.”
“What are you nervous about, April?” Jessa naturally takes back over the conversation.
“Well, William is six months old now and I know he’ll be starting his vinations today. I’ve heard a
lot of stories about bad reactions and infants even dying from too many shots at one time. Bill is
adamantly against him getting any shots at all. The human schedule has so many shots at one time<b>.</b><b>” </b>
I follow everyone silently into the room. The room itself spiking my anxiety despite the bright colors
and friendly animal motifs scattered around the room. April’s near panic about her son receiving
shots has me on edge as well.
“Cole.” Alpha’s call is unexpected and I startle badly from it.
“If it’s okay April, I’d like Cole to take care of William for a few minutes. You’re taking this <b>visit </b>very
hard and I’d like to help both of you through it.”
I see her nod through her tears as William starts to whimper, It’s easy to see that he’s responding to his mother’s stress towards the situation. She allows alpha to take him without hesitation before walking over to the exam table and cing therge bag on her shoulder on the paper.
I walk slowly over to the alpha. I have a bad feeling about him giving me William. April <b>freezes </b><b>at </b>

the table<b>, </b>taking longer than I know It should for her to get <i>back </i>to her pap. I’m having a vers <b>time </b>processing what this mother is so terrified of. It’s convincing <b>me </b>of the same thing, the are no good for William
I look at alpha briefly as William is nestled into my arms. He leaves secondster as he pulls the terrified mother out of the room leaving me holding William in the same room as my mate. I know I
look terrified as she smiles gently.
“You look as bad as she did. Are you okay?”
“Does he have to have these shots?”
I know I’m sounding pathetic in front of my mate but I also can’t help my desire to protect this <b>tiny </b>pup who’s snuggled nicely in my arms.
