Story: Cosmo
Hawk watched Cosmo as Corbin and Cullen went back to eating their Hot Pockets, while Calla basically stood there and glowed.
He wasn’t sure if this was some sort of a fae ritual or what. Maybe he shouldn’t speak—especially if she was doing some sort of magic.
One way or the other, the boys weren’t giving him any clues on how to act.
She’s blessing the baby. She’s making sure all is well.
She’s—oh, my love. My mate!
Yes.Cosmo began to laugh, the sound overjoyed, and it was all he could do not to rush for his mate, but he did stand, vibrating as he waited for Calla to let him swoop in.
She chuckled, the sound deep and earthy, and glided toward her other sons after kissing Cosmo’s cheek. “Congratulations, my son.”
“Thanks, Mom.” Cosmo opened his arms to Hawk, who came to hug him close.
“Love.”
“Yeah.” Cosmo beamed. “We’re pregnant. And it just took a Hot Pocket.”
“Imagine that.” Hawk couldn’t stop grinning. Goddess, he adored Cosmo. And now they were having a baby.
Then she went to Cullen and handed him a package. “The mushrooms you requested, my dear. I love the way your house looks.”
“Thanks, Mom.” Cullen took the Hot Pockets and wandered off, muttering softly to himself.
Which left Corbin staring at his mom.
“Are we still fighting?” she asked.
Corbin shook his head. “Of course not. Thanks for coming. Cosmo needed you.”
“He did. I’m glad to see him happy. You need to be happy too.”
Corbin simply watched her and arched an eyebrow.
“I did bring you a gift.” She handed him what looked like a handful of seeds, pouring them into his hands. “I found these. I don’t know what they’re for, and I can’t make them grow. So I thought perhaps you could.”
Corbin looked shocked for a moment, and then pleased. “Well, thank you. That was very thoughtful.”
“I do love you, son. Even though we might snarl periodically.”
Corbin nodded and rested their foreheads together. “I love you too, Mom. I’ll let you and Cosmo and Hawk get acquainted and talk. I’m going to go see if I can’t identify these seeds.”
Then Corbin walked away, leaving them alone in the kitchen.
“Would you like some tea?” Hawk asked.
“I would, and I would love to see your home if that’s an option.”
Hawk nodded and smiled, tickled to show off. “Of course.”
Cosmo smiled suddenly. “I would love to show you the house. We have the best bedroom, and there’s a stained-glass window and a tower.”
“And a nursery, soon?”
Cosmo nodded. “Overlooking Lunastra.”
“Ah, yes. Well, that’s?—”
