snow falling.
“I’ll
just go get the ax from the shed and be
right back. I saw what I think will be
the perfect tree over there to the left of the property,” said Nick.
Maisey
and Lucas held hands while they waited for Nick and the three of them headed
down the hill a bit.
“That’s the one I was looking at. You think it
will fit into the living room?” said
Nick.
Maisey
hugged herself and shivered, positive that she was coming down with a cold or
flu.
“Can
we get this over with quickly because I’m freezing,” said Lucas.
“Okay,
you want to give me a hand?” said Nick.
Nick
took the ax and chopped away at the trunk
and then he and Lucas laid it on the ground.
“Maisey,
can you carry the ax while me and Lucas take care of the tree?” Nick asked her.
He
handed it to her. It was heavier than she thought so she dragged it beside her
as she walked a few feet behind the guys who carried
the tree between them. Snow got into her eyes and mouth, and it felt like she
was going to pass out. Before she could call for help, she went down in the snow
“Nick,
hold up, Maisey’s fallen,” Lucas shouted.
She
saw both of them suddenly kneeling beside her.
“What’s
wrong?” Lucas asked her.
“I
don’t feel so good.”
“Shit,
she’s fallen on the ax ,” she heard Nick
say.
She
looked at her outstretched arm and the blood seeping from it.
“It
looks like a pretty deep cut and nothing her body will fix for itself so we
need to get her to the hospital,” said Nick after he’d ripped her coat sleeve open. “You stay with her and I’ll go call Charlotte
Renner and tell her we’re bringing Maisey into the new hospital. It’s not
completely finished yet, but it’s the safest thing to do.”
“Maisey
baby, hang on because we’re going to get you help,” said Lucas before kissing
her on the cheek.
Chapter Twelve
Lucas
had volunteered to make the call to Maisey’s
parents, the one telling them she’d lost a lot of
blood and they needed to get to the hospital to donate some to her.He looked through the window where
both her mom and dad lay on gurneys. Charlotte was getting great at all this
shifter stuff. She was learning about blood types for shifters and that every
few could survive without blood from their closest family members so she knew straight away that both he and Nick would be of
little help.
He
just hoped it would be enough to save Maisey. Maybe they shouldn’t have gone out cutting trees or made her carry the ax , but she hadn’t said a thing about not feeling good. Charlotte
took the two bags from the stands and headed outside with her lab coat pulled
over her growing belly
“Why
don’t you and Nick go in and wait with Maisey’s parents while I go and give her
this blood.”
“She’s
going to be okay, isn’t she?”
“Once
I get this into her system I think she’s going to be just fine.”

Maisey
opened her eyes to see Charlotte Renner sitting on a stool beside her, her arms
folded over her baby bump.
“Welcome
back,” she said, stroking the back of Maisey’s hand.
“Geez,
what happened?
“You
fell on an ax while you were helping Nick
and Lucas cut down a tree. Your parents donated blood and you’ll be back on your
feet in a couple of days.”
“I
felt light-headed.”
“Did
you know you have diabetes?”
She
shook her head. “Is that bad?”
“Not
as long as you eat right and monitor your blood sugar. When’s the last time you
ate?”
“This morning? So you can
treat me? I mean I’m not going to die?”
“Definitely not going to die. And I’m going
to take first-class care of you.”
“And
will I be able to have a family?”
“I
don’t see why not. Aiden told me that he saw you and Lucas together last week. Does
that mean you’re a couple?”
Maisey
nodded.
“He’s
a nice guy, cute too.”
“Do
you know what you’re having?” said Maisey, pointing to Charlotte’s belly.
“Nope,
