“No. I think I will reminisce on that moment. Was so, sensual, and erotic,” Aamon says. I go to kick him only for him to mist behind me.
“Missed me, lover!” he says.
“Aamon!” I warned him.
“Just playing. No need to get your knickers in a knot. I know you want me! It's only natural for you to have feelings for me after such a moment,” I rolled my eyes at him just in time for Avery to come over.
“You ready? I want to get back so we can find them somewhere to stay,” Avery asks Aamon. He nods before taking her hand.
“I will be in contact soon. We might need to send some your way,” Avery tells me and I nod. I see the place starting to clear, cars leaving and Ace and Tyson hop in the car. Tate and Drake both say goodbye to Aamon before hopping in their car. Avery walks over and gives Reika a hug. Squeezing her tight and Reika hugs her back before letting her go.
Avery comes over and gives me a quick hug before pulling back.
“Take care of your mate and new daughter. I will be in touch,” she says, rubbing my arms just as Aamon wraps an arm around her getting ready to mist out of here. She lets me go, her eyes sparkling and burning emerald green as she smiles at Reika.
“Oh! And congratulations!” she says.
“For what?” I ask and she nods to Reika.
“On your son,” she says before they both misted back home. Reika was just staring at the space Avery was before looking up at me.
“She is aware Lucy is a girl, right?” She asks and I chuckle, pulling her to me before placing my hand on her stomach. “Our son,” I tell her and she looks at my hand before placing hers over it.
“We are having a son? You impregnated me?” She says, and I can't help the laugh that leaves my lips.
“You truly have a way with words,” I tell her.
“And yes. She means you're pregnant,” I kiss her head before resting my chin on her head. Her arms going around my waist when Tyson opens the car door sticking his head out and looking at us.
“Can we go? I am starving!” he says before shutting the door and I sigh letting her go. We walk over to the car and Reika goes to open the back door to hop in with Lucy. Hopping in my seat I see Lucy is fast asleep leaning against Ace, who was asleep with his head on the window. Reika opens the passenger side door climbing in the front, also seeing them asleep.
“She is fine,” I tell her as she looks over at Lucy asleep. Tyson pulls a shirt from his bag tossing it over her arms to keep Lucy warm.
“We won’t let anything happen to her Reika. She is safe in the car,” Tyson tells her yawning. She nods, turning back to the front and I start up the car and we all head home. Tate and Drake honk their horn as they turn off in the opposite direction of us, heading home too.
Chapter 87
Reika
One month later
I yawn rolling over onto my stomach before jumping, when I realize I nearly crushed our son. My entire body ached with the extra weight I was carrying. I feel for Ryker yet his side of the bed was cold and his scent weak in the room.
“He probably fell asleep in Lucy’s room,” Amanda tells me as I force myself out of bed to go pee. I nod to her in agreement. Lucy has terrible nightmares, and was constantly waking during the night. For the first few days she refused to sleep anywhere besides our bed. Tyson and Ace made the bedroom next to theirs a princess room and managed to convince her to sleep in there, but she still gets up. But it was better than being kicked every night, and for the most part Ryker puts her back to bed before I even realize she got up.
I washed my hands before pulling on some of Ryker’s pants, they were all that fitted around the growing bump. Once I am dressed I go in search of Ryker and Lucy. I stop at her bedroom door and stick my head in. Ryker was asleep on the floor. His head resting on her pillow on her bed as he slept half sitting up. A book still clutched in his fingers. I hold in my laugh when I see Tyson sitting next to him and Lucy on the bed, both of them with textas in their hands as they drew on his face.
Lucy puts a finger to lips shushing me as she giggled while joining his eyebrows together with a red texta. Tyson drew on a mustache before laughing quietly and standing. Lucy hands him the texta, and he reaches over Ryker and picks her up before walking toward me with Lucy on his hips. He hands me the three texta’s and I shake my head before taking them.
“He is going to kill you,” I whisper to Tyson.
“Was her idea,” he says motioning to Lucy in his arms and she points at him, blaming Tyson. He pretends to bite her finger and she pulls it away quickly giggling.
“Let's go make breakfast,” he tells her before walking down the stairs. The three of them were inseparable. Lucy is constantly harassing them, and I have caught them up at midnight playing video games when she was meant to be sleeping. Pocketing the texta’s, I follow them downstairs leaving Ryker asleep on the floor.
“Why do I think Lucy is going to turn into a terror like them,” Amanda says as we walk down the steps. I laugh at her words, yes, the three of them were always up to mischief.
Getting to the kitchen, Tyson grabs the cereal down and pours a bowl for himself and was about to pour some for Lucy.
