She made the nervous human lay down as she pulled out a heartbeat doppler, among a few other instruments.

“Just relax, Emma. I’m going to check you out first, and then I’ll listen for the baby’s heartbeat.”

Emma forced herself to take a breath as she closed her eyes while Cynthia went about her work.

After the examination, Cynthia made Emma lift her shirt, she put cold gel on her stomach, and moved her device around.

Within seconds, Emma heard the fast pace of the baby’s heartbeat.

“Is that…”

Cynthia smiled. “That’s your baby’s heartbeat. Strong and healthy from the sounds of it.”

Emma teared up with joy while she listened to the frantic little beats that pumped much faster than her own.

She heard a knock at the door and saw Liam peek his head in.

“Can I come in?”

“Yes, absolutely.” Cynthia waved him in as she gathered her things into a bag. “Your mate and baby are perfect. Healthy and strong. Congratulations to you both. The clan will be giddy with the news.”

Liam smiled gratefully as he thanked Cynthia for her time. He looked at Emma. “Stay here, I’ll be right back.” He left the room with the healer as Emma felt true peace from the recent news.

Liam came back in. “Cynthia said the heartbeat was clear and healthy. You got to hear it?” He sat beside her on the bed and grabbed her hand.

Tears flowed down her cheeks now, unable to contain her happiness. “I did. It was so beautiful, Liam.”

He kissed her forehead, then her wet lips. He wiped away her tears with his thumb as he looked at her. His eyes told her how happy he was, and it made her heart so full she thought it would burst.

“We’re going to have a baby.” She giggled, trying to fight off her emotional tears.

He hugged her tightly and kissed her all over. “Yes, we are.”

When their lips met again, Emma gave him a slow, burning kiss, holding him longer than just the pecks they had shared earlier.

She felt him meld into her, instantly falling into rhythm with what she was asking for.

He had taken her earlier, and all they had seemed to be doing was going at it like animals in heat, but she needed him now. Right now.

They were safe, in love, and with a healthy baby on the way. She wanted to love this man in every way possible to share and dwell in this moment together.

“Lay down,” Emma purred as she closed his bedroom door. She undressed as she walked back to him, prompting him to follow suit.

When her panties dropped to her ankles, she kicked up a leg and flung them at Liam.

“Do I get to keep these?” he teased as he snapped them toward his dresser.

“If you want, but I’d rather you kept me instead.”

His blue eyes grew wide with lust, watching her swing her hips over to him.

“Done.”

She smirked as she got on the bed and straddled his lower legs. His cock wasn’t hard enough yet, but she would take care of that.

She leaned down and put one of his legs between her pussy and rubbed herself on it as she licked his dick slowly from tip to shaft and back again before putting all of him in her warm mouth.

Liam groaned as he lay back, letting her have her way with him.
