Page 83 of His Impossible Elf Mate
“Kade had an idea.”
My hands paused on the next thing to throw in the box. My brother-in-law always had the best ideas. “Yeah?”
“He thought you should become head of security for the omega compound. Being as you are a very well trained omega yourself. Some of the most sensitive omegas struggle with even the matedalphas.”
“But—“
“Before you say anything. I spoke to the alpha in charge there. His omega daughter just started having heats, and he’s struggling. The idea of being around while… yeah, he can’t be impartial now. He actually sounded relieved when I floated the idea.”
“Oh-kay.” I thought about it. The job was the ideal one for someone of my skill level and experience. It was better I was now an omega. They wouldn’t be afraid of me like the alphas. “Yeah, I’d like that.”
“Great. I’ll get that set up. Are you and T having dinner here tonight?”
“Nah, we’re going to the new house. It’s time to start moving stuff over.”
“Baby stuff?”
“Yeah, how’d you know?”
“I remember that time. Vividly.” He shuddered. “Babies come with so much stuff!”
“So much! Where’s the baby going to go after all the stuff gets delivered?”
Blake laughed. “You’ll figure it out. Plus, there’s always the next baby!”
Teárlach wouldn’t let me carry any of the boxes to the golf cart or from the vehicle into our new home.
“I’m pregnant, not an invalid,” I muttered.
“You are precious and carry our treasure. I’m just the muscle.” He did a little flex, which made me laugh.
“Fine. I’ll just sit here and get fat.”
“Impossible. Certainly not with your sickness.”
Being plagued with morning, noon, and night sickness wasn’t the highlight of being pregnant, but I couldn’t complain. I was getting everything I wanted, and it really hadn’t been that bad. I’d figured out most of my trigger foods and learned not to wait to eat. T kept crackers by the bed for me to eat in the morning so I wouldn’t puke up breakfast.
“Can we sleep here tonight? My wolf wants to get our scent over more of the furniture.” He looked at me with a glint in his eyes. “Not that way!” I yawned. “I’m exhausted, though I’m not opposed to an earlier wake up call.”
“Hmm, I love morning sex. Alright, dear one. We shall sleep here tonight and tomorrow I can spend the day moving our things over whilst you check out your new place of work.”
“You don’t have to waste your day—“
“It’s not a waste when I’m spending it on my family. Getting our home ready is a pleasure. Something I have never had. Please, give me this.”
“Okay.” I was happy to give him a new experience. His face lit up with happiness and he kissed me quickly before returning to get the last of our things.
Teárlach had a shift with the wing guard, so after a frotting session and a nap, he left me tosleep. He would wake me in the morning and we could christen our room properly before I went to work, and he caught more sleep.
Except, perfect plans don’t always work out as you hoped.
“Axel, dear one, wake up. There’s exciting news!” T’s voice was louder than normal. Buoyant with joy.
“Hmm?”
“Hiroshi had his baby!”
“What?” I shot up, a wave of dizziness almost taking me back down again. “She’s early!”
