Chapter 0588
One night, as we lay in bed, Lily moves around as usual trying to find a comfortable position. She keeps rubbing her stomach and pulling my hand over her to calm Cara, since our little girl is especially responsive to me and Donovan. When that doesn’t help, I move down, letting Donovan come forward. He
begins purring to Cara, trying to soothe her.
Lily has been having Braxton–Hicks contractions so we’ve become somewhat accustomed to her stomach contracting as we touch and hold her. Usually, our touch can calm the contractions, but tonight. it’s not helping. Lily keeps shifting around and even Donovan’s purring doesn’t seem to be helping.
All at once, I feel the bed go wet under me. My head pops up and I look at my mate. Her eyes are wide as
she looks at me then down at her body.
“Clint.” She says, looking back at me. “I think it’s time.”
I’m out of bed in an instant. I’m rushing around trying to remember what I’m supposed to do.
“Okay. Breathe.” I take several breaths trying to calm myself, when that doesn’t work. I start pacing.”
We’re supposed to stay calm.” I turn to my mate. “Are you calm?”
My mate has gotten up off the bed and is moving to the closet. She looks at me like I’m crazy, her brows furrowing. “Yeah, are you?”
“Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I’m calm. I’m really calm.” I feel like my head is bobbing up and down like one of those things humans put on the dashboard of their car. My brain has completely emptied of everything.
My pup is coming!
“Get your fucking head out of your ass and help our mate!” Donovan yells at me.
I look up and see that Lily has grabbed her bag that has been packed for weeks. “Here, I’ll take that!” I
say, thankful that I can do something for her. I throw the bag over my shoulder and look at Lily.
She looks at me for a minute. “We need to get to the car.” She says to me very slowly as if I’m too stupid
to understand her.
“Right! Car!”
I take off down the stairs and rush out to get in the car. I put her bag in the car and get in the driver side. I
put the car in drive and Donovan starts yelling in my head again.
“You’re leaving our mate you moron!” I throw the car in park and as I open the door, Donovan forces a
shift.
‘Donovan, what the fuck?”
“You’re acting like a crazed man. You’re a fucking Guardian and you’re acting like an idiot. I’m taking
over.”

He grabs the bag out of the car with his teeth and runs back into the packhouse and up the stairs. Lily is holding on to the walls trying to get down the hall. Donovan gently walks up to her, leaning against her as she has a contraction.
“Hey Donovan. Did you get tired of Clint acting stupid?”
He chuffs at her.
“I’m sorry Lily bud. I freaked out. I’m good now.” I say to her in the mind link.
She turns and looks at Donovan, raising her eyebrow. “Is he?” She asks him.
“Don’t know, don’t care. I’ll get you and our pup to the pack hospital. Get on my back.”
Donovan lays down on the floor and once the contraction passes, Lily climbs onto his back. Anders door opens and he looks out. “Lily? What’s going on? Why is Donovan here?”
“I’m in labor. Clint freaked out and Donovan took over.”
“Do you need help?”
“No, Donovan will take good care of us.”

Where is the first of the guardians children’s books I can’t find it. Is it not done yet? I’m so invested in the whole saga I’m loving it and am itching for more!...
We missed the chapter we've been waiting for for so long! Dang it! 😞...
144 is from another book and now we miss out on everything once they realized they were mates!...
110 was uploaded twice...
You said in other chapters Cara smells like vinallia and lavender and now are saying she smells like vinallia and honey. Didn't know of that was on purpose or a mistake....
