The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf
Chapter 29
Chapter 29
‘Is the baby coming? Are you okay?’ Ryker asks, concerned. I place my hand on my fat belly.
Amelia and I sit on the porch drinking tea, heavily pregnant with our second babies, while Magnus plays with little Nina. Amelia and Leon’s daughter aptly named Nina because she was such a small, tiny baby, and Nina means ‘little girl’. I think it’s pretty cute. We laugh as little Nina holds in a mouthful of water and squirts it into Magnus’ face. Then she pokes her tongue out at Magnus and runs away. Magnus chases after her.
‘Little Nina and Magnus are the complete opposite of each other. I say it would be interesting to see if the Moon Goddess chooses them as mates?’ I giggle.
‘I don’t know. Every playdate we have, Nina wears poor Magnus out. She is always playing tricks on him. She is so silly and cheeky, and he is so serious and sensible, Amelia says, laughing.
‘I think I need to go to the bathroom, I say.
‘Me too, Amelia says. We both call out for our mates.
‘Ryker!’ I yell.
‘Leon!’ Amelia yells. They both appear.
‘No, I’m fine. But I can’t get out of this chair, and I need to go to the bathroom, I explain.
‘Again? This is like the tenth time already, Ryker laughs.
‘Well, next time, you carry the baby, and try not to pee every five minutes,’ I joke.
‘Okay, okay, he says, helping me up and kissing me.
“Leon! I can’t get up, and I need the bathroom too, Amelia says, her hand on her swollen belly.
Ryker and I laugh. Water gushes down my legs. Ryker and I look down at the water puddling at my feet. We smile at each other.
‘Are you ready for baby number two?’ Ryker asks. I kiss him passionately on the lips.
I’m ready for baby number three,’ I giggle.
We make it to the hospital just in time.
Doctor Herman tells me to push again. On my third push, the baby slides out.
‘It’s a boy. Doctor Herman says.
‘A brother for Magnus, I’m so happy, I say, gazing into Ryker’s eyes.
