“She may just be growing out of her partying stage,” Mama Mari said with a small laugh.

“I doubt Ri will ever grow out of getting attention and being extra,” Rayhan smirked.

“I think she just wants to keep it small this time,” I said, defending my friend.

With everything going on, Raihana had told me she just wanted to keep everything simple and small so she could cherish it with family. However, she promised to tell me the gender as today she had an official scan. Although she had complete faith in Dante, she wanted to have the scan to confirm it before she announced it.

“Well, she had a scan today,” I added, as Rayhan raised an eyebrow.

“Really? She never said,” Mama Mari exclaimed with surprise. I shrugged sheepishly.

“I think it may have been a secret?” Mama Mari let out a small laugh.

“You girls can never keep anything from one another.” No, we couldn’t.

I smiled as my eyes met Rayhan, who was watching me with such an intense look that my heart felt all fluttery. We had truly come so far, and I wouldn’t change anything for the world.

Sienna was tugging on her father’s necklaces. Ahren came over to me and sat beside me, playing with a toy. I ran my fingers through his hair, feeling content.

My perfect family.

I watched Chrissit back as he discussed the new building plans to extend the pack territory. He looked incredibly sexy as he talked to the men. We were in the city, and the businessmen were human.

“Of course, that sounds great, Mr Somers,” one of the men said as I ran my hand up Chris’s thigh, now that the important part was done.

“Perfect, so what do you think Mrs Somers?” Chris asked me, raising an eyebrow. I smiled slightly, my hand dangerously close to his manhood.

“I think it all sounds great,” I replied before I leaned over and kissed his lips softly.

So proud of you.

I really was. There had been a time he’d had to prove how capable he was, and he did it effortlessly. Chris was an excellent alpha, and when it came to doing the job, he was an entirely different person. Focused, serious, and so damn sexy. I was tempted to see if we could get the conference room to ourselves so I could have him take me right then. He looked at me as if he knew exactly what was going through my mind.

“Well, if that is all, we will take our leave,” he said, standing up and giving me his hand. I took it and stood up as the men stood up politely.

“Thank you once again, Mr and Mrs Somers.”

Bidding farewell, we left the room and entered the elevator. We were on one of the top floors, and I pressed the button for the ground floor.

“So… what did you have in mind?” Chris smirked suggestively, backing me into a corner.

“In here? There’s a camera right behind you…” I whispered.

“Hmm, cover it. I think I have just over a minute to make you come. Challenge accepted,” he said, pushing me into the corner. His body shielded me from the camera, which I had misted over just as he pulled my skirt up, slipped his hand into my panties, and his lips met mine…

He had succeededin making me come, and we had left that elevator with my legs feeling like jelly but thoroughly satisfied. We spent another twenty minutes getting hot and steamy in the car before we finally returned home.

It was later in the evening. I’d had a scan earlier today, and we were video-calling Mom and them to let them know the gender. I had just put Tatum to bed, and we were in bed. We had already known the gender, thanks to Dante, but it just didn’t feel right to tell anyone until we had it confirmed, and it was no surprise to find out he was indeed right.

We sat side by side, with Chris’s arms around me, just as Delsanra answered the phone, setting it down on the table so I could see them all. Rayhan was holding her in his lap whilst Mom sat next to them, looking at the phone with rather well-masked excitement, but even then, her eyes gave it away.

“How are you two?” She asked.

“Great, thanks for asking,” Chris replied. “Hope you’re doing great yourself.” I was so glad she was here…I really needed her. I would always need my mom.

“Well, what is it then?” Delsanra asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
