Chapter 0173

“Yeah, why not?” Alec smiled at me as I went to the bathroom to clean up. I wasn’t sure I was ready to be

a mom but that was only because of the threats against me right now.

“I’m ready.” I said as I came out.

“Come here.” Alec was leaning against the couch again. This time, I stopped as I stepped between his

legs and laid my head on his chest. “Tell me why you feel so unsure about being a mom.”

“It’s just with the threat of this kidnapping thing and everything else, I am just worried something would

happen to the baby if I am in an unsafe situation. I don’t plan to be but if I am pregnant, I can’t shift.

What

if a rogue knocks over our vehicle again and I have to fight a rogue in my human form?”

“Well, firstly, you could be attacked by a rogue any day.” Alec tried to make it a little easier for me.”

However, if it makes you feel better, we can be more safe until everything calms down.”

“Thank you.” I said as I looked up at him. He gave me a small k*ss before slapping my as s.

“We better get going or they will come back up here for us.” Alec said as we stood up and headed

towards the door.

“However, I still could have gotten pregnant already. So, this conversation might be moot.” I looked

around to make sure no one was in the stairs before I kept this conversation going.

“Little Alec Jr.” Alec tasted it as it rolled off his tongue.

“About that…” I laughed as as walked into the garage.

“About time!” Jasper said.

“Sorry. Alec had to take a s hit.” I couldn’t help but laugh at the look I could feel from him.

“Guys literally poop for hours.” Emmy agreed with me as she put on her helmet.

“Agreed.” I said as I blew him a k*ss and got on my bike. Alec just shook his head as he got his helmet on

also.

Emmy and I took the lead as we pulled out. It felt amazing to be on the road again. The wind blowing

against me as I melted into the natural curves of the road. Taking the back roads, we were able to watch

the wildlife around us. It was honestly the most beautiful and peace thing on this planet.

All too soon, we came up to my favorite BBQ place. Feeling rather clingy for some reason, I took Alec’s

hand as we walked inside. He was slightly confused but welcomed it. Even when we had to let go to walk “Take for four?” The hostess asked. 2

“Yes, please.” Emmy answered with a smile.

“Perfect. Right this way.” She grabbed a few menus and showed us to a booth in the corner. “Is this

okay?”

“That is perfect. Thank you.” I said as I sl*pped in. Emmy and I were on the inside and Alec and Jasper were on the outside. Alec put his hand on my inner thigh, holding it. Sl*pping my arm around his, I held on

to him.

Our actions didn’t go unnoticed by Emmy. She knows I am not a physical touching person so for her to see this, it was a big deal. Instead of calling me out on it, she just smiled at me and took a menu.

Which, I

greatly appreciated.

“Mr. Alec and Ms. Kris! I’m happy you are back!” Ira walked up to us.

“Thank you! Are you our waitress today?” I asked with a smile.

“Sure am.” I watched her eyes land on our arms. “What can I get you guys?”

“Dr. Pepper for me.” I said.

“Ice tea.” Alec said.

“Tea with lemon please.” Emmy answered.

“Mt. Dew.” Jasper smiled nicely at her, which earned him a poke.

“Perfect. Any appitizers?” Ira asked as if she didn’t notice the poke.

“What did you give us last time?” Alec asked.
