Page 87 of I Dated the Lost Song

“I will. Well, when the next one makes their appearance, wait. You said kids, plural.”

Leska blinked. “You aren’t pregnant?”

Tirra muttered, “Yes, but only a few weeks. How did you know? Gorith didn’t even know. Well, I mean, he knows now.”

Gorith slowly smiled, and his energy tentacles writhed out and pulled Tirra into his arms, holding her against him. They walked off and had a quiet chat, face-to-face.

Leska blinked. “Oops.”

Khytten wandered out of the house, arm in arm with Torenne.

Vinul murmured, “Did you want to settle in for a bit?”

“Sure. I will take a seat at the table, just in case food happens. I am rather hungry.”

Vinul nodded. “I will get you something.”

She was going to say he didn’t have to, but he disappeared as shadows wrapped him, and she just sat on her own until Khytten had a seat across from her. “So, you don’t have the same concerns as your friend?”

“Her concerns are valid. I know I am an omega, and that means that my morals are a little bit flexible. My concerns come first and then my partners. If they can keep me satisfied, they can keep me.”

Sarel walked up while she was speaking and nodded. “That is pretty much it. We have to keep the benefit to ourselves in mind, or we will be lost. Sweetie, where did Vinul go?”

“I told him I was hungry, and he disappeared.”

Sarel nodded and tapped on his com. “Burgers or tacos?”

“Yes.”

He chuckled. “Noted.”

She blinked. “Wait. Did he go to get takeout?”

“Yes.”

“Fries and a milkshake!” She bit her lower lip.

Sarel chuckled. “You have expanded quite a bit. I will also add a salad.”

“What? Are we getting naked and making it watch?”

Khytten giggled.

“You need a balanced diet.”

“As soon as I catch up with the calorie expenditure of growing this.” She patted her belly.

Khytten grinned. “You caught me off guard.”

“I noticed.”

“I overdosed you.”

“Torenne noticed that.”

Khytten asked, “Why do you keep your nature away from Cadence?”

Leska paused and thought about it. She started crying, and Khytten held her. In between gasps, she said, “She was only my friend because she thought I was human. There is nothing to keep us together.”
