With that, she turned and left. My blood ran cold.

Judy had seen the story... during the graduation ceremony.

That explained why Irene called me frantic, because she, too, had seen the news story. I just didn't realize it was a public scene during the graduation.

I'm not sure how long I stayed in the hospital room, watching Rachel sleep, but I felt numb. How the fuck was I going to explain myself to Judy? She must be thinking the absolute worst about me right now.

My phone rang, bringing me out of my thoughts. I glanced at the screen to see Derek's cousin Monty's number. I stood quickly and rushed out of the room, holding the phone to my ear.

"You better have an update. It's been 2 days, Monty," I said through my teeth.

"You should be prepared," Monty murmured. "I have information for you."

Before I could return, Eliza returned with the ultrasound machine and a fetal paternity test.

"I'm going to wake her up now," Eliza said. "It might take a bit for the paternity test results. But hopefully I'll have something for you by the end of the day. She's a little over a month pregnant, so it's still a bit too early. But werewolf babies grow faster than humans, so I might be able to get actual results for you."

Eliza disappeared into the hospital room with the machine, and I turned my back to the door to address Monty, who remained on the other end of the phone.
