The Gamma's Heart
The Gamma’s Heart – Chapter 60

Noah placed her down on the counter in the kitchen, his eyes not leaving her face.

“Would you stop it. I feel fine, Noah!” Clara looked at him then looked over at Wyatt who was also looking at her.

She sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I promise, you can feel me can’t you?” she asked him softly.

He nodded, “you’re still hurting though”

Samuel told her that her pain wouldn’t go away, she would just regain her energy. “I never said I wasn’t.” she rested her head on his chest taking in his warmth.

Noah wrapped his arms around her and placed his head on top of hers. “I just want this all to be over with already.”

“I don’t…” Clara whispered, making Noah pull away from her. “Why?”

“Because when it is over I won’t have, Clary” she looked down at her hands, her wolf whimpering in her head made her want to cry, she’s been so emotional for the past two weeks while she was in the hospital.

“Samuel said that they are going to try everything to save her!” Wyatt said standing beside her, Bailey perched on his h*p.

She fought to smile at her little girl, she was so advanced for her age, already doing things other babies her age can’t.

Everything Selene told her was replaying in her head like a repeating record, she said that Clary would die, so Samuel can’t save her.

Bailey reached for Clara but Wyatt was keeping her from her “No bailey, mama needs rest.”

When she started crying he instantly felt bad for telling her no “Mama..”

Clara’s head shot up when she heard her say that, a genuine smile forming on her face. She pushed Noah away and got off the counter.

“Clara..” Noah said standing behind her.

“She just said ‘mama’ Wyatt now give me my baby!” Clara told him as he kept the crying child from her.

Wyatt was holding back a huge smile at his little girls first word “say daddy,” he asked the five month old.

Still holding her hands out, her chubby cheeks were red from crying because her daddy was refusing to give her over to her mother “Mama”

“Wyatt…” Clara whined

Giving in he handed her over and watched as Bailey wrapped her arms around her neck, as she rubbed her back soothingly.

“Bad daddy, Wyatt..” Noah walked over and hit his arm.

They heard Clara giggle as she walked over and sat on a stool whispering to the baby. Wyatt even heard her ask Bailey if she wanted her to beat him up.

He would let her if that’s what Bailey wanted her to do, he chuckled at the thought.

“Are you okay here alone with her? Sam should be here in an hour!” Noah asked.

Clara nodded her head at him. “We’ll be fine.”

“We have to patrol, we’ll be back in the morning. I can ask Anna, to come over if you want?” Wyatt offered.

She shook her head. Dan has finally let Richard move into his guest room so that they could get to know one another. But he couldn’t mark her till she turned 17!

“Let my brother get to know her please?” she giggled at the look on their faces “You both know he is a sweet guy. Be lucky it isn’t, Jackson.”

Noah nodded his head, he smiled and walked over kissing her softly then kissing Bailey goodbye. “I’ll bring breakfast.”

Wyatt went over and did what Noah did, kissing his girls goodbye. “And I’ll just bring the D!”

“Get out!!” Clara laughed at him wide eyed.

When Bailey pulled away Clara smiled at her running her hand through her dark curly hair, it was still short but curly as ever.

Her eyes sparkled in the sunlight peeking in through the windows due to the sunset, the hazel and brown seeming to mix and turn into a beautiful chestnut color.

Bailey placed her hands on her cheeks and and giggled making Clara laugh as well. “Little peanut!” she said and kissed her nose, as her little hands moved down to her belly.

Clara didn’t want her to see the mark on her side, or the vines that has moved closer to her heart so she tried to keep her shirt down but to no avail.

“Mama..” Bailey said with her hands over her stomach.

“Yes, I’m your mama peanut.” she told her daughter as she tried to get her to focus on the toy she picked up from the counter.

Clary even came forward to see what she was doing.

Bailey placed her hands on her again and this time they glowed a smile popping up on the infants face.

“Mama” she repeated yet again.

**********

Samuel knocked on the door to the nursery, he smiled when he seen that his grand daughter was still awake.

“Sorry I’m late.” he said walking over and kissing Clara’s head.

“It’s fine.. we were just fine today. Weren’t we peanut?” Clara asked her daughter softly as she rocked her.

Her little head popped up just now noticing, Samuel. “Mama” she told him making Clara sigh.

She’s been on a roll all day with it,she even called the delivery guy ‘mama’

“I see she’s learned a new word.” Samuel chuckled. “She’s only said it a thousand times.”

Going and sitting down in the rocking chair she breathed a sigh of relief now that her back wasn’t hurting from holding Bailey up anymore.

“You said you needed to talk, it sounded important.” He sat in the chair beside her as she rocked the baby.

Clara nodded her head and looked over at him. “I think I might be pregnant!”

He heard her worry lacing her voice. “When was the last time you and the boys…you know?”

Leaning her head back on the chair she looked up at the ceiling, “the night before I went into the hospital.”

“What does your wolf think?”

“She went to talk to Selene! She wants to know if this is what she meant when she said I would have a reason to fight.” she hadn’t told him much about what she told her.

About as much as dhe told Noah, Wyatt, and Brandon. She was running out of time, she had two weeks left before everthing was supposed to happen.

And if she was pregnant she was petrified for the outcome of it all.

Clara looked down to see if Bailey had fallen asleep and thankfully she finally did. She had been fighting it for half an hour now.

She got up and went and placed her in her crib, she brushed her cheek lightly and turned around.

Her and Samuel walked out of the room and Samuel grabbed her shoulder making her turn around, he seen her eyes filling with tears and he pulled her into him.

“I think Bailey can predict the future,” he heard her sob into his chest. “She kept putting her hands on my belly and saying mama, her hands glowed.”

“That wasn’t her, that was just the magic in your bloodline” Samuel told her “You are pregnant. Brandon’s hands would glow when he touched his mom’s pregnant belly, at first we were confused but when we found out about Jackson we knew.”

A sob left her and she held him tighter, it was early she couldn’t be no more than two maybe two in a half months if her timeline was right. It’s been three weeks since she had last been with them and was in the hospital the whole time, it fits.

She didn’t even know that her mates had came home for a bite to eat until she heard their voice.

Standing behind her both Wyatt and Noah were wearing shocked expressions. Clara wiped her face and faced them.

“You will fight this. If not for you and Clary then for the baby!” Noah said his eyes not leaving hers.

“And if I can’t? What if she is stronger than me?” she asked him, her l*p quivering as she asked.

“If, Selene believes you can do this then you need to aswell, or she has already won.” Wyatt told her, determination written all over his face.

Noah nodded his head “plus with what you told the triplets about, Vivian? We’re close to catching the one responsible for cursing you.”

Turns out it was Marco, Landon and Ophelia’s mother Vivian who changed her appearance to look like her daughter. Clara was ambushed by her and and brought her to a secluded area where another woman was.

She had long red wavy hair with brown eyes and freckles covering her face and arms. She told her that she killed her husband and before she could tell her she didn’t she had already started chanting her spell, when she was done that’s when she told her her name was Amara!

Feeling a trickle run down from her nose Clara moved her fingers to catch it. Looking at it she seen that the tips of her fingers were red.

She turned and went into their room, rushing towards the bathroom. Clara locked the door behind her and went to the sink turning it on.

They banged on the door asking her to open it. “I’m fine” she said, and quickly blocked them out so they couldn’t feel how dizzy she was.

“She blocked us!” Wyatt looked back at Samuel.

Hearing a crash in the bathroom they banged harder.

“Landon can teleport.” Samuel pulled out his phone and dialed him and stepped away.

Noah’s head rested against the door.

A few seconds later they felt a brush of air enter the room. “I was needed?”

“Yes, she locked the door and we heard a crash!” Samuel said

Landon nodded then teleported into the bathroom, he heard her groaning near the sink and rushed over to her. “Why did you lock the door princess?”

“They are treating me like glass..” he chuckled at her snark and picked her up. “What happened?”

“Nose bleed, then I got dizzy…” Clara answered him resting her head on his shoulder. “I found out I’m pregnant too.”

Landon stopped and looked at her. “I’d say congratulations, but right now with everything going on….I’ll wait.”

She giggled at him and nodded “thank you for that”

When he opened the door, he walked out and went over the the huge bed in the room. He sat her on it instead of laying her down.

Looking up she avoided the 3 standing behind the man that seemed like an uncle to her for the past few weeks. “I’m okay” she assured him and he smiled, his brown eyes sparkling as he did.

Landon kissed her forehead and stood up. Noah and Wyatt quickly moved to her side and sat beside her.

Landon shook his head, now he can see why she locked the door.

“Guys please…”

Noah cupped her cheeks “Why did you block us out?”

“Because I need a moment to breathe” Clara stood up from the bed and walked away from everyone.
