Page 35 of Dimitri

Papa’s eyes widened. “May? You have to carry the baby until May?”

I laughed again. “Yes. Dragons have a six-month gestation period. Therefore, I’ll be pregnant until sometime in May.” There was obviously nothing I could do about how long I would be pregnant. I was quite slender in comparison to Dimitri, and I had a feeling that by the end of the pregnancy, I was going to be incredibly uncomfortable. But in the end, I would get a beautiful little baby boy.

Papa glanced down at my stomach again, then back up at me. “I expected all three of you to have omega mates.”

I chuckled and shook my head. “I expected to be a sire, honestly, but I have no complaints about Dimitri. He’s so loving and attentive. He’s brought out a side of me I didn’t realize I had.” Papa raised an eyebrow at me in question, and I shook my head. “I am not going to discuss my intimate life with you.” I was close to my fathers, but I wasn’t going to discuss my sex life with Papa. Or my brothers, for that matter. We all knew it happened,and we knew that certain things obviously happened when Sebastian was with Drew, and now between me and Dimitri, but that was the extent of things. They were known. They were not to be discussed.

“I will not ask, but I need to know, you are happy?”

I nodded. I didn’t even need to think about it. Dimitri made me so incredibly happy. Before him, I hadn’t realized just how happy I could be. I had been in long-term relationships before, but they were nothing compared to what I had with Dimitri. I realized it was because he was my One, and that was how things worked. The fates somehow knew who our perfect match was, and they figured out how to get us to meet. I did have to wonder though: why hadn’t I met Dimitri before now? He had been at the council for some time, and he’d been working with Benjamin since. But yet, despite all of the times that I’d been to Treasure Ridge to see Sebastian, I’d not felt Dimitri even once.

“It’s going to be so perfect,” Papa said, pulling me from my thoughts again.

I focused on him, more than curious about that comment. “What is?”

“Our move to Montana.”

I blinked at Papa for a moment. “What?” I asked quietly.

“Lyubimyy? Are you all right? I’m getting feelings of unease through our bond. Is something wrong?”Dimitri asked through our bond. I felt a great deal of concern from him. The sudden desire to bring him to me so he could see firsthand that I was perfectly fine was a bit overwhelming.

I realized in that moment that I couldn’t multitask and listen to Dimitri and Papa at the same time. I held up my finger, hoping Papa would hold off a moment. Thankfully, he seemed to catch on quickly to what the issue was.

“I’m good. Papa showed up at my condo before I could leave. We were talking about things. I have lots to share once I find out everything from him.”

“Are you certain?”

I could feel some of the earlier concern wane, which was a relief. I didn’t wish to cause Dimitri stress as I knew he and his dragon were already struggling with me being so far away, despite my ability to pop back to him in a blink.

“Yes,”I told him.“I’ll be sharing news in just a few.”

I nodded at Papa, ready to hear what all he had to share. “Continue. I had to reassure Dimitri.”

Papa’s smile was huge. “I wish to meet him. Hopefully, I won’t annoy you or Drew once we are in Montana full-time.”

I was struggling to understand. “All right, I need you to elaborate. I honestly assumed you and Father would eventually relocate to Montana, but you’re talking as if it’s happening soon.”

Papa nodded. “Sí. We will be there by the end of the year if all goes well.”

That was news. There was just over a month left in the year. “How?”

“He hasn’t shared it before, despite me warning that he should.”

I was completely lost. “Who should share what?”

“Your father has been looking into selling off the firm since Sebastian and Drew mated. When we met Drew for the first time, he had already started looking for a buyer or to simply dissolve the firm.”

My eyebrows rose, and my eyes widened. “Was he going to tell me? What about Lorenzo?”

Papa sighed. “This is why I told him he should have shared the news. Your father knows how much it pains me to be missing so much of little Flora’s milestones.”

I chuckled. She hadn’t had any milestones as of yet. She was only eight weeks old. “Papa, she’s not even rolling over yet.”

“Shh. I have finally gotten him to agree to move. Do not bring up specifics.”

This was news to me. “Why now? It has to be more than just Flora.”

“Sure. You are mated now. You will be relocating to Montana, will you not?”
