Page 45 of His Sunshine Baby (The Silver City #2)

6 Months Later

“Moon Goddess, why does this have to be so fucking tight…”

I try to adjust it, but no matter what I do, my dress is barely letting me breathe. Why did my breasts have to get so big already? Like, seriously! This dress is a nightmare. I hear a chuckle behind me as Nora and Bonnie both come to my rescue, frowning and trying to adjust the lace on my back.

“I think we can make it a bit looser; it should be fine. We can find a shawl to cover your cleavage.”

“Enjoy it, babe, it’s the only wedding where the bridesmaids can be sexier than the bride!”

I roll my eyes and turn to Danny.

“Very funny, Daniel.”

“Come on, I’m not the one who got pregnant two months before my wedding.”

I sigh. I did not plan to get pregnant that fast! The Alpha compatibility is scary, I need to be careful in the future… I hear Nora chuckle.

“Can’t you at least be on my side?” I sigh.

“Sorry, Elena, but… it’s so cute! I know you and Nate were trying, but still…”

Well, I did insist a bit on giving Estelle a younger sibling. Nathaniel was the one who was against it. Not that he didn’t want more kids, but my two previous pregnancies didn’t turn out so great. Since he heard how much I struggled while I was pregnant with Estelle, he became so against it, we fought a lot on the matter. Thank Moon Goddess Estelle started asking for a younger sibling too, and he still can’t say no to our baby star.

“I can’t wait for you to be tired with baby number two,” says Danny. “That way, I get to babysit Estelle all I want.”

“You already see her twice a week!” I protest.

“You can babysit James if you want,” says Nora. “Between all the work with the packs and Will who still doesn’t sleep a full night, I feel like Boyan’s been seeing my baby more than me.”

I sigh. That’s right, Silver City has changed a lot. With Arthur Seaver and William Blue gone, and so many werewolves dead, all the packs were at a loss for a while. Damian, Nora, Nate, and I had to work like crazy to get everything back on track, even with the humans. Once the funerals were over, we had to reorganize the packs.

While Damian is still of course the Werewolf King of Silver City, Nora and I have agreed to share the position of Silver City’s Luna. After Clark gave me full control of the north and retired, Nora took over the south, including the now Alpha-less Sapphire and Sea Moon clans. The only two other clans remaining are the Pearl Moon and Violet Moon that Lysandra and Tiffany are still in charge of, and that’s fine with us as it is.

“Thanks, but no thanks, Nora. Your baby is cute in pictures, but in the flesh? He’s genetically linked with a chainsaw. Did you see the state of my rug? And Boyan’s ear? His ear!”

Bonnie and I snort while Nora blushes, a bit embarrassed. James started shape-shifting last month, and pups chew everything, as we recently found out with poor Bobo.

“Sorry.”

“Alright, we’ll talk about the little monsters later. Daniel, are you ready or not?”

He smiles, perfect in his black tuxedo. I never thought I’d see Daniel Lewis wear a tuxedo! I’ve never seen him so elegant. Bonnie looks proud of him too, helping him adjust the bowtie.

“I think we should get going now,” she says.

“Babe?” he says, giving me his arm.

I grab the flowers, and we leave the room.

Somehow, holding a wedding now was a bit of a crazy idea at first, but after thinking about it twice, everyone agreed it was the best way to signify new hope. Life goes on in Silver City. We survived. We lost people, but for those who remain, life can go on.

We arrive in front of the entrance and meet with the groomsmen. Nora is all too happy to find Damian. With a big smile, Ben takes his spot next to his sister, and all six of us wait for the music to start. I glance at my flowers. If only she could be here… and Levi…

“Hey.”

Daniel caught my glance, and frowns.

“Chin up, young lady. Don’t you dare think about unhappy things today. It’s okay, babe. They would be happy for us.”

“… I know.”

I take a deep breath. That’s right. Today is a wedding, a happy day. I smile at Daniel, and he kisses my cheek. I chuckle.

“Are you sure you shouldn’t be going up with… your mom? Or your dad?”

“Babe, I want my best friend with me. All the way. You’re my family.”

Oh shit, he’s going to make me cry.

“If you cry, I’ll spank you right here.”

I chuckle, and manage to hold it in. The music finally starts, and we walk in. It’s a little, private wedding. Only close family and friends, not even thirty people inside. Daniel and I slowly walk up the aisle, all eyes on us.

I see Boyan, gorgeous in his white tuxedo, waiting nervously for us. I hear Daniel gasp. Yes, our Bobo is that handsome. We finally reach the altar, and Bobo gives me a hug before I go to the side, as the maid of honor, listening to the vows.

I love how they kept it simple. It’s touching, very sweet with a hint of humor. They mention their first meeting in that club, Bobo’s smooth dance moves, and even their love spats. I can’t resist shedding a little tear, and I see Abigail in the same state on the front bench.

Finally, Estelle walks up, holding the rings, and Danny gives his goddaughter a little kiss. My daughter walks up to her dad and uncle on the other side. I wasn’t sure Liam would show up, but apparently, they convinced him.

A lot of chuckles and a kiss later, they are pronounced husband and husband, and exchange a wild kiss that wouldn’t have been allowed in church! A lot of cheers and a wave of applause take over the room and, after a few more hugs, I step to the side to let Danny and Boyan’s families come and congratulate them.

A familiar arm surrounds me, and Nate gives my shoulder a quick kiss.

“Damn, Daniel managed to make me jealous again.”

“Yeah, I think Boyan is definitely taken now, sorry?”

“Very funny… I was talking about our wedding, Miss Whitewood. When will I finally get to call you my wife?”

I chuckle and turn around to kiss him. Of course, he answers it, but I can tell my little distraction doesn’t work. He frowns and steps back.

“Seriously, why won’t you say yes?”

“Maybe because then I wouldn’t get to hear you ask anymore…”

He smiles.

“Alright, I guess I can keep asking a bit more. I’ll be patient until my new sunshine comes.”

It’s my turn to frown.

“Your new sunshine?”

Nate chuckles and puts a hand on my tummy.

“Yes. My Sunshine Baby …”
