Colton headed down to the hospital on the lower level to get everything ready for his brother’s exam. Carrying his precious book, he thought about the rest of the gifts Jackson had picked. They were all so perfect. He hadn’t realized how much Jackson knew about each of them. If the choice of presents was an example, his brother knew them very well. Thinking about Carson, he realized there was some jealousy there on his part. His brother would live his dream without ever leaving the grounds.Yeah, I’m a shit. Jeez, Carson deserves to find some happiness. After all, isn’t that what Steel did for me…set me up where I could use my own skills and knowledge?
Colton went into his office and grabbed Dr. Wallace’s orders.Fuck! Not again! Yup, any thought of that man does it for me.Disgusted, he thumped his cock so it would go down. Examining Jackson with a hard cock leaking pre-cum wasnotgoing to happen. Something had to be done about his reaction to the man’s name. But for now, all he could do was take plenty of cold showers and do lots and lots of hand jobs.
Sitting in the exam room, he heard Jackson call his name. “In here,” Colton answered. Seconds later, Jackson and Steel entered, looking flushed. He laughed to himself. He knew what they’d been up to and by the look on their faces, enjoying it also.
“Sorry we’re late. Uhhh, something came up,” Jackson said with a red face.
Steel burst out laughing as Colton joined in.
“Really? You’re going with ‘something came up?’ Maybe you should tell me what came up that preventedyou from making your medical appointment on time,” Colton said, smirking at Jackson.
A finger was the only reply.
“You know, brother of mine, maybe you should issue an order about single fingers too, otherwise my poor nephew will be learning improper sign language.”
“Okay, you got me,” Jackson laughed. “Can we just get on with it before I dig myself in deeper?”
“Fair enough. Why don’t you sit down on the table…I have a couple of questions first.”
Jackson hopped up on the exam table and sat with his feet dangling.
“Any more nausea?”
“No.”
“Any extreme tiredness?”
“Nope.”
“Have you felt the baby move yet?”
“Oh my gods, yes we have. The first time was the last night we were in San Francisco, right babe?” Jackson looked at Steel who was nodding his head. “He’s moving right now.”
“Let me see,” said Colton.
He lifted his shirt and Colton could see the rippling of Jackson’s belly as the baby shifted his position. He placed his hand on the spot. “Oh wow, you have an active little guy in there, don’t you?”
Jackson’s eyes shone with happiness, nodding. Steel bent down, kissing his mate’s jaw while placing his hand on Jackson’s belly also. “Is it normal for a baby to move so much?” he asked.
“Yes, but it all depends on the baby. Some move a lot and others don’t. In the old days they believed it was a boy if it was active in the womb and a girl if it wasn’t.”
“Well that seems to be true in this case,” said Steel.
“Yeah, it’s just a coincidence. After ultrasound came along, that myth was debunked. Why don’t you lie down now?”
Lying down, Jackson pulled his shirt up and his pants down. Colton could see a noticeable baby bump. “I think you guys did the trip just in time. At this rate, you’d be showing too much to explain it easily to humans.”
“It’s normal, right? It doesn’t mean anything’s wrong with the pup, right?” Jackson asked worriedly.
“No, no, no, Jackson, everything’s fine. The baby is moving and I can hear the heartbeat. Remember, I don’t have any experience with a Dire Wolf pregnancy. Oracle did say that once you passed the second month, the pup would start to grow rapidly. Now let’s do the ultrasound and see that baby.”
Jackson held Steel’s hand as his brother moved the wand over his bump, hoping it would be good news.
Through their mind link, Steel listened to his mate’s worry about the baby. He squeezed Jackson’s hand. “Do you see any problems?” he asked Colton, giving voice to his mate’s thoughts.
“Nope, everything looks good. Just a few pictures and measurements…there, we’re done,” Colton said. “Here’s a new picture to add to your growing collection.”
