It was now well over two weeks since Jasmine had last seen Xaden and she was terribly worried.
She was seated with Nanny Nia at the open library overlooking the gardens when Marie came in.
Jasmine had now progressed with her learning and to her and Nanny nia’s shock, she was excelling quite fast.
At the fastest rate Nanny Nia claimed she had ever seen.
"How many people have you taught to teach?" Jasmine asked.
Knowing that she was the only one her nanny had ever taught.
Nanny nia frowned at her question and Jasmine secretly smirked.
"Back to studying." Nanny nia warned.
Jasmine sighed.
She was worried for Xaden.
Ever since she had come to this pack, she had barely stayed away from him this long.
He would stay far away from her, but that was about it.
In her bones she felt as though something was wrong, but Erik kept on telling her it wasn’t unusual for Xaden to stay this long.
Marie came into the room and Jasmine became alert.
"Relax." Maria’s smiled.
Jasmine cautiously eased back down on the chair.
"I’m here for my weekly check up."
Marie said.
She pushed Nanny nia aside who rolled her eyes, irritated.
They still didn’t like each other.
"You’re getting really big." Marie rose a brow. "This looks like you are already four months gone."
"What?" Jasmine asked shocked.
This washer first pregnancy and she barely noticed the she wolves in her pack when they got pregnant so she still didn’t know much about pregnancy.
Is that a bad thing?" Jasmine asked looking from her nanny to Marie.
"No." Nanny Nia said at the same time Marie said. "Yes."
Nanny Nia glared at Marie. "Of course it isn’t. It’s just unusual."
"You knew this entire time that my pregnancy was going wrong and you didn’t tell me?" Jasmine asked Nia shocked.
"It’s not going wrong." Nanny Nia said. "It’s just....."
Nanny Nia paused for a second.
"It’s just what?" Jasmine asked tensed.
"I didn’t want you to overthink it. I didn’t want you to worry because it’s only going to put you and your baby in a tended state like you are right now. That’s why I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry."
"What if something bad happened?" Jasmine asked unhappily.
"That’s why I called Marie." Nanny Nia said reluctantly.
"Yes." Marie admitted. "She doesn’t like me but she sent for me to come see you."
Marie sat down beside Jasmine. "You have to take off your dress. I need to feel the baby without any form of interruptions."
Jasmine was helped out of her simple
Blue dress and left in her chemise.
Marie unbuttoned it from her breasts till under her stomach.
"Now I want you to take in a deep breath." Marie said.
