“Grant, I have something to tell you,” she said. “Tony, you’ll want to hear this too.”
“What is it?” I asked, concerned. This was serious, judging by the look on her face.
“We’re having a baby,” she said.
What?!
An indescribable feeling of happiness coursed through my entire being. My alpha wolf rejoiced at successfully mating this woman.
“I can’t believe it,” said Tony.
Tears came to my eyes. “I’m so fucking happy.”
Hugging her and feeling her soft warmth against my body felt incredible as I pulled her in. We all hugged, laughed, and shared in our joy of bringing a baby into the family. I was more than ready to be a father.
It was about damn time. It was time to grow up.
“I’m glad you’re not upset,” she said breathlessly from all our hugs on the couch.
“Why in the world would you think that?” I asked, kissing her forehead and touching her hair.
“Because you’re so big and scary,” she whispered, and my cock hardened at her words. “But there’s something else too.”
“Oh?”
“I want to see my family as soon as possible,” she said, biting her lower lip.Fuck, when she bit her lip like that…
I hesitated at her request. She was right, though. Her family needed to know. It wasn’t like the old times when kidnapping omegas were okay and you didn’t have to tell anyone.
“We’ll go tomorrow morning then if you’re feeling up to it,” I said quickly when her face fell at my hesitance.
“She’s been having morning sickness,” said Wesley, and Tiana rolled her eyes.
“Tiana, we can’t have you running around if you’re feeling sick,” I said.
“Please Grant! It’s just going to get worse the longer I sit around,” said Tiana, her face flushing pink with annoyance. “Just keep bringing me ginger tea and apples. I’ll be fine.”
“Apples, huh?” I said. “Fine, I’ll get in contact with my business partner Caleb. He has a private jet.”
“Thank you so much,” said Tiana, putting her soft lips over mine.
“Anything for you,” I mumbled against her lips, taking in her essence and her warm, feminine body.
Tiana
My heart was beating a mile a minute.
We were standing in front of my parents’ apartment door, and I was suddenly unsure if I should knock or not. I couldn’t bring my hand up to knock. I called Lori as soon as our plane landed in the states. It was such a relief. I cried on our way here in the taxi. It felt like old times, and it felt amazing to talk to her again. I told her I was traveling with family when she insisted on seeing me.
“Are you going to knock?” asked Grant in his deep voice.
I sighed and knocked three times.
“Who is it?” called Dad soon after, his heavy footsteps shuffling to the door. I heard the clanging of the chain as he was unlocking it.
“It’s Tiana.”
The door opened immediately, and my dad came hurling through, crushing me in the biggest hug. I hugged him back. A feeling of warmth and safety rushed over me, and tears blurred my vision.
