He knelt in front of her, gently lifting her hands to his face. “Are you okay?” He gently kissed her fingers, causing her to giggle at the ticklish sensation.
“I’m fine. I just started to feel a bit tired.”
“I’ll be back shortly. I’ll have some refreshments brought out.” Alice stood up and walked away, wanting to give them a moment alone. They hadn’t had one since they found out they were expecting a child. She smiled to herself, thinking about when she first found out that she was expecting. It was such aspecial moment for her and Nathon. While Lita and Asher didn’t have the private time they’d had, the two could use an intimate moment alone to reflect on the big change coming in their lives.
Chapter 80
Asher nuzzled his head into her stomach, planting tiny kisses on her invisible baby bump. “I’m carrying you the whole way home. You shouldn’t be walking in your condition.”
Lita busted out laughing. “Asher, it’s perfectly fine for me to walk in my condition. I’m pregnant, I don’t have broken bones. You better not be thinking of wrapping me up in a bubble during the pregnancy.”
“Not a bubble, but confining you to our bedroom has crossed my mind.” Asher stood up and sat beside her, pulling her into his chest.
“How are you feeling about everything? I mean, the plan was to have kids. I just wasn’t planning to right now.” Lita giggled a bit.
“How does it feel like I’m feeling?” Asher whispered into her neck as he planted little hot kisses on the sensitive skin.
“You seem pretty elated, nervous, protective.” Lita searched through his feelings. They were the same as hers.
“I’m glad you can read my mind. I can’t put into words how happy I am. My love for you grows more and more each day, and the fulfillment it brings me is indescribable. My heart is overflowing with happiness.”
Lita snuggled deeper into him. “Me too. Oh, guess what?! I met real dragons!”
“What? Where? I want to meet them!” Asher’s eyes widened in excitement.
“They were here, but they left. It was the Great Dragon Sage. He told me to call him Grandpa Sage, and then there was the cutest little boy I’d ever seen. He was maybe four years old and had these eyes that shined like amber. He turned out to be the Prince of the West Dragon Kingdom. He wanted me to marry him.” Lita giggled and Asher chuckled along with her.
“Can’t blame the kid there. Unfortunately for him, I already called dibs.” Asher's head was resting on top of Lita’s when Grayson walked up to them.
“And they were not at all like how Grayson described. Though, I guess they weren’t the norm. And the one was a kid, but he had a good heart.”
“He’ll become just like the rest of them.” Grayson snorted and sat down in front of them on the ground. He didn’t like being away from Lita that long either, especially with her being pregnant.
“You two better not turn into overprotective psychos on me now that I’m pregnant.” Lita watched the two men share a knowing grin. “Great.”
“Sorry, Lita. It’s just something you’re going to have to put up with. We already talked about it. You’re our number one priority. You and our future little princess.” Asher rested his hand on Lita’s stomach and lightly rubbed it.
Nathon, Alice and Dylan entered with a couple of people carrying a few trays. Alice motioned for them to follow her over to a few tables that were at the other end of the garden.
They had brought sandwiches, cookies, soup, tea, and lemonade. Lita sat down at the table.
“I know when I found out I was pregnant, my appetite instantly became more intense. I guess that’s what happens when you have a wolf cub inside you.” Alice saw her daughter’s eyes light up as she looked at the food. Yep, she was hungry.
“I didn’t even realize how hungry I was until just now.” Lita giggled and filled up her plate. Asher sat beside her and her parents sat across from them. Lita noticed that both Dylan and Grayson remained standing behind them. They weren’t eating. “Grayson, please eat something.”
“I’m good, Lita,” Grayson said, staring back at Dylan.
Lita set her sandwich down and sighed. “If Grayson and Dylan don’t grab something to eat, then I’m not eating another bite.”
Asher growled and grabbed a sandwich, shoving it into Grayson’s hand. “Eat! You aren’t going to be the reason my mate and pup don’t get fed.”
Grayson knew this wasn’t a battle he was going to win. Besides, he was hungry anyway. He took the sandwich and took a bite.
“Dylan, you heard her. I’m not going to have my daughter getting malnourished,” Alice said calmly as she sipped her tea. She didn’t even raise her voice, but Dylan immediately jumped at her command. There was no snotty quip, no sassing, just immediate obedience.
“Grayson, why don’t you listen like that? I think I need to trade my guardian in for a new one,” Lita teased, as she felt a gentle flick to the back of her head from Grayson.
“It looks like I chose well. You two obviously have a strong bond.” Alice sipped her drink, looking between Grayson and Lita. It was important for them to have a strong bond in order to trust each other completely. “Speaking of choosing, you should pick out your daughter’s guardian while you’re here.”
