#11 Meet Me in the Emerald Forest
Epilogue

Clementine

“Are you serious?” I asked Dr. Moreson.

“Yes, Luna.”

“Are you serious?” I asked again and he chuckled this time,

“I am completely serious, Luna, look, right there.” He pointed to the blurbs on the screen.

“Three? As in, one, two, three.” I held up three fingers.

“Yep. One, two, three.” He counted the blurbs.

“What the fuck!” I yelled and Dr. Moreson looked taken aback.

“Forgive the Luna, she’s in a state of shock.” Lily laughed, standing up from her chair beside me, “Give us a minute, would you, Doc?” She asked and the old man nodded before leaving the room.

“You okay, Clem?”

“It’s only been four months since the wedding. Four! How does this happen?” I shrieked. Lily’s eyes were glistening and I could tell she was holding back a fit of laughter,

“How much sex have you two had in those four months?” She cocked an eyebrow and I sunk back into the bed.

“Three of them, Lily!” I cried and she lost control of her laughter. I slapped her hard in the stomach and she raised her hands in surrender,

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry. You have got to tell Luke, he’s going to be over the moon!” Lily said,

“Oh sure, he’s not the one who’s going to be carrying Alpha triplets around in his tiny human uterus.” I grumbled under my breath, looking back at the ultrasound.

Lily fiddled with the machine like she knew what she was doing and printed out some black and white pictures. I hopped down from the bed carefully and got dressed, taking the pictures in my hand. Lily walked out of the exam room, but before I followed her, I placed my hand over my stomach and looked down.

“We got this, babies.” I said to all four of us.

I now had a family of five. Like, what the hell?

I knew Lukas was training with Garrick and Mateo, so I hurried through the grounds to replace him. When he saw me, he immediately ran from the field and was standing in front of me.

“What’s wrong? What are you doing here? Are you okay?” He was tossing questions at me left and right.

I put my hands flat against his bare chest, which was glistening with sweat and throbbing with muscles, and he instantly calmed down. He wrapped his bulging biceps around me and I suddenly forgot why I was here.

“Clem?” He smirked my name with that cocky ass tone of his. I groaned and looked up at him, rolling my eyes, “Need a cold shower? Better yet, how about we both go take a shower?” He suggested with a wink.

“That’s what got us into this mess!” I shouted, remembering why I was here, and whacked him on the arm.

“Ouch!” He pouted, rubbing his arm.

“Oh that didn’t fucking hurt!” I yelled and his eyes narrowed on me.

“What’s got your panties in a bunch?”

I whipped out the ribbon of pictures and waved them in his face. He wrapped his hand around my wrist, steadying my hand so he could focus on the images. I knew the moment he realized what they were.

A million and one emotions flashed in his eyes. First, there was recognition, then happiness, then fear, then what the fuck, and then excitement.

“You’re….pregnant?” He whispered, glancing down at my stomach.

“Do you see all those letters?” I asked, pointing to the little A, B, and C on the three pictures.

“That’s the fucking alaphabet, Lukas. The first three letters of the fucking alphabet.” I said plainly and he looked at me like I was insane.

Then, it dawned on him.

“Wait…”

“Three! Lukas, you put three werewolves babies inside of me!” I screamed and the entire training grounds froze.

“Luna’s pregnant?” Someone said,

“The Luna’s pregnant!” Someone else cheered.

That’s when all hell broke loose. Everyone was hooping and hollering. But, Lukas and I were still frozen in our little bubble.

“You’re having my babies? We’re going to be parents?” He whispered. His sweet, pathetic, broken little voice brought me out of my rage.

“Yes, Lukas, you’re going to be a daddy and I’m going to be a mommy.” I agreed, smiling so big I thought my face was going to break.

That’s when Lukas hit his knees, wrapped his arms around me, and started covering my stomach in feather light kisses. He stood up once he had enough and claimed my lips with his, much more passionately then with my stomach.

“I love you so much, Clementine Emerald.”

“You better, because I’m not going to be loving you when I’m pushing these three out of a teeny tiny hole.” I grumbled but I was still smiling like an idiot.

Once Upon a Time, I thought solving my parents murder was my lifetime goal. Doing that would mean that I had succeeded in life. I had no idea how empty that life really was until I met a white wolf. That white wolf saved me then and he continued to save me each night when he visited me in my dreams. Then, that white wolf became a man and that man saved me all over again when we met in the Emerald Forest. The Emerald Forest was always the place of nightmares, until it brought me to my Happily Ever After.
