I press my lips together and force myself to look him in the eyes.
“I’m pregnant, Jace. We’re going to have a baby.”
There is a split second where absolutely nothing happens.
Then a burst of energy as he leaps forward and lifts me into his arms, yelping with excitement, he spins me and laughs, and covers my face in kisses. “Are you serious! Are you kidding me! This is the best freaking news ever! We’re having a baby!” he exclaims, still holding me.
“Jace,” I giggle, caught up in his happiness.
“Sorry,” he chuckles, setting me down on the ground again. “But, Mira, you weren’t feeling well the last while. What now? Does that mean you’re sick? Are you ok? And our baby? Is our baby ok?” he asks quickly, touching my face gently.
“Yes, I’m fine. It was just tiredness, and I probably wasn’t eating enough, figuring I was pregnant.”
“Yes! We have to get all the best foods,” he demands.
I gesture around the kitchen, laughing, “Seriously, I think we have enough for now,” I grin.
He smirks, pulling me close again. His smile is gorgeous, radiant.“Yes, you’re right, you’re right. But I want to make sure that you and our baby have everything you could ever dream of,” he whispers.
He’s going to be an incredible father. He’s so happy. He’s so excited. But I’m going to miss being with him. That intimacy is something I’ve come to yearn for. How will I manage without it?Heartache pins itself against my chest, and I let out a soft sigh.

That night, Jace and I had our own private little celebration dinner. I’ve already prepared the feast, so we put it to good use.
It’s a special moment, even though my heart is saddened by what I will lose, I'm happy about what I have gained.
We’re busy packing away the leftovers in our small kitchen when Jace tells me he is going to plan a pack party to celebrate.
“The whole pack will want to know this news and deserves to be part of it. Their Luna is pregnant. We have a future Alpha coming. And I think we need something good to lift up their spirits after all this mess about the Rogues.”
“I agree, I think it will be lovely to celebrate with everyone,” I say, surprising myself. Since when have I enjoyed attending parties or being in crowds of people?
Since you became Luna. Since you stopped letting people disrespect you.
Since you married Jace and became a stronger version of yourself.

By the next morning, there is already a rustle of excitement spreading through the pack. Jace has announced a surprise celebration for tonight, and all pack members are expected to be there. He’s hyped it all up without telling them what it’s about, and the pack is bursting at the seams to find out.
The party starts at sunset.
Jace convinced me to wear my lace skirt and matching top. I feel beautiful in it, and I’m so happy he made me get it. My hair is pinned up in layers of curls that form a big, messy bun on top of my head. Soft curls fall around my jawline.
The pack house mansion is full. Every single person in the compound is in attendance, and when Jace pulls me onto thesmall stage in our entertainment room, my cheeks are glowing pink. I’ve never been this nervous. And I’ve never been put on the spot like this before.
He holds me close, which I’m grateful for because, honestly, my legs feel so weak I might fall flat on my face, and I’d never live that embarrassment down.
“Thank you all for coming tonight, to celebrate with us, to celebrate with the entire pack!” Jace announces.
A loud yelp of excitement spills through the room.
Jace holds his hand up, and everyone falls silent. Tension rises.
He grins and glances at me.
“Your Luna…” he says, drawing it out, “is pregnant with your future Alpha!” he says with heavy pride in his voice.
