“How much longer?” Juni whined as we curled up in bed after dad and I finished the dishes. “Not that I hate being here, because I totally don’t. But I miss my clothes.”
“Sweetheart, I’m not sure our little ones are gonna let you wear your fancy pants for a while longer. They’re in control of your beautiful body right now.”
Juni peered down at his belly. “You two Olympic athletes better be all egg when you come out. No extra weight left for daddy, got it?”
Giggles.
Juni and I paused, stared at each other, and then I put my ear to his belly. “Do it again, Juni. Say something silly.”
“Are you two teaming up on your Daddy and Papa?” There it was again. “Oh my gosh, did you hear that?”
“I did sweetheart and its one of the greatest sounds I’ve ever heard. Hey, you two, this is your Papa speaking. We can’t wait to meet you, and we love you both so much.” Sounded like gurgley bubbles that time. Can baby dragons blow bubbles in their eggs?
Juni’s eyes widened. “Did you feel that?”
“I did. It’s through our connection with them, it’s strengthening. Have you given any thoughts to names yet?” Shoot, I’d been so busy I hadn’t.
“I have but I only have one for each gender.”
“Don’t hold out on me darlin’, let’s hear them.”
“Kael if we have a boy and Kalliope if we have a girl. If we have two boys or two girls I’m at a loss. What do you think?”
“I love them both and think it’s cool you kept with my parent’s ‘K’ name theme. Not sure where they got that from though.” Never thought to ask either. Guess I had a lot of catching up to do with more than Kobalt.
“Felt right. Azure and I have been going through every baby name generator online we could find. They haven’t landed on any yet, but these two really spoke to me.”
“Well then,” I kissed his belly and whispered. “Look away, little ones. Papa needs to shower your Daddy with some grown-up love.” Damn if those giggles didn’t fill me with joy.
“Were you now?” Juni’s cock plumped and I gave it a lick.
“Is that all? Doesn’t seem…” Shut that rambling up when I deepthroated him. “So nice.”

“There, all done,” I relaxed back into the leather desk chair having just finished the final touches on the Cinders Construction website.
“Good,” Kyson’s voice surprised me. There my gorgeous mate stood, arms folded across his massive chest with his body filling the doorway just like the day he rescued me in the cabin. “Ready to go home?”
“Isn’t it kinda late to head back to Bellingham today?” I was tired, my feet and back hurt. All I wanted to do was soak in a warm tub. “Can we go tomorrow instead?” Ashley giggled beside me. Not sure what had tickled her about this.
“No, now sweetheart. Come on.” I sighed as he helped me up. “Want me to carry you?”
“To the truck? No, I can waddle my bootie there myself. Bye Ash.” Solemnly, I waved. Not sure why I was being so dramatic.We’d only be gone for a few days to pack and clean then we’d be back forever but, I dunno, the family had kinda grown on me and I didn’t like the idea of being away from them.
Mom and Dad waved like we were just going next door. I expected something deeper, more real than that for a goodbye, which only further depressed me. Damn hormones were all over the… “Wait, we just walked past the truck.”
“Yup, we sure did,” Kyson winked. “Come on, keep up.”
I bitched and moaned all the way up, but my smart-ass mate just chuckled. “Can’t we walk the house another day. I’m tired. My feet hurt. I wanna lay…Oh my god.”
“That’ll shut ya up, huh Princess. Welcome home.”
