I take Aolis by the hand and pull him from the room with me, his eyes never leaving Lily. When we get outside the door, Liam is there, waiting for me. I turn to Aolis. “What was that?”

He looks at me. “I’m not sure. I could hear her distress and her desire to be born but she couldn’t find her way, so I helped her.” He turned looking toward the delivery room again. “She’s the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen.”

I look at Liam and back at Aolis. “Aolis?”

“It’s okay. I know she’s too young to recognize the mate bond. I will wait for her.” And with that, he turns and walks out to find his father. Liam and I just stand there, dumbfounded.

After getting our turn to see Cara and Lily post–delivery, Rik looking every bit the proud papa, we head back to our pack.

Another month goes by, and life gets back to normal. Sarah and I begin to take on more work, not just with the packhouse but also with the pack’s business. Sarah is so efficient that it’s easy for us to assist Liam and Dustin.

Liam finally names Evan as his new Gamma, and then names a new lead warrior to replace Evan.

My favorite time of day is after dinner, when it’s just me and Liam. As my pregnancy has progressed, Liam has gotten creative with ways for us to have sex, which is good, because pregnancy, for some reason, has made my desire for him almost insatiable. Liam is happy to oblige me any time I ask.

Tonight, he comes in as I’m getting out of the shower. He does what he has been. doing every day for months. He walks up to me, kisses my gently, then gets down on his knees to talk to our son. He was right, we are having a boy. We decided on a name a while ago, but we haven’t told anyone, waiting until after he’s born.

“How’s my little man doing today, momma?” He says, his hands on either side of my stomach as he sniffs to find the spot where he wants to talk to his son.

“He’s been a very active boy today, daddy.” I tell Liam: ”

“That’s my boy.” He says, and then when he finds the spot he wants, he begins. telling his son about his day and his plans for when he’s born.

The nursery is complete and Liam had them put a doorway from our room to the room next door so that we can hear him if he fusses and he’s close enough for me

As he’s talking to our son, I feel a splash of warm wetness drip down my legs. Liam stops, pulling back, looking at the floor, then up at me.

“Liam, I think it’s time.”

Liam wanted to honor my father, as he had done everything in his power to protect me as a child, and we also wanted to honor Clint for helping me reconnect with my Guardian spirit and being like a second father to me.

So, after our son was born, Liam took him into the waiting room where hundreds. of pack members were waiting to hear the news of their Alpha heir’s delivery and Liam proudly announced the birth of Richard Clint Holstin.
