70. Moons
LEO.
I let the shower water run over me, washing away the soap suds from my body. I was unable to remove the images of both Shane and Jackie’s bodies from my mind. Those final memories of their bodies would always remain in my mind.
Anyone could have died, and no matter who it was, I would have felt it. No matter how much I tried, I still wasn’t doing enough. Judah Gallahan was someone I was going to figure out, I will find out exactly what the fuck he is. To stay dead, pretend to be dead for that long…
He held certain traits of a vampire, but he wasn’t one, he didn’t fit the box… I have seen vampires and have been around them when Endora had managed to capture a few. There wasn’t really much in England in comparison to the States, but there were a lot of differences between Judah and vampires. However, I wouldn’t rule it out completely. I needed to start
somewhere… 2
Switching the shower off, I leaned my head against the wall for a moment, sighing heavily.
They were gone.
Fuck…
It still hurts.
Sliding the door open, I grabbed a towel and roughly dried myself off before I walked to my wardrobe area and took out some boxers and sweatpants. I was heading out to the lounge
when I heard the sound of Corrado and Azura talking.
Had he still been awake all this time?
“… lumpy sandwiches, Mommy, but I know Daddy will like this goopy dish.” I saw him examining something that clearly smelled like nachos as Azura stood there next to him, hands on hips. The small curve of her stomach was noticeable from this angle. Our pup was growing, and I could hear its heartbeat too.
I smiled faintly, leaning against the door as they conversed.
“It’s nachos, not goop!” Azura protested prodding the Nachos with a finger before she licked the Salsa off her finger.
Fuck girl…
“Oh yes, it just doesn’t look as nice as Daddy’s nachos… but don’t worry, Mommy, Daddy will love them.” 2
Azura grinned. “I didn’t have any doubt until you put that doubt in me. But your dad has no option but to eat this!” She looked up, noticing me, and I smirked when her eyes swept over
my shirtless torso. Her heart was racing as I slowly walked over to them.
“Daddy! Mommy made nachos!”
I picked him up and looked at the tray she had prepared, nachos, topped with plenty of cheese, salsa, and jalapenos. Coffee for me, milk for the two of them, and some other small snacks. For my girl, this was a big effort.
“It looks good,” I said, wrapping my arm around her and pulling her close. “As long as I don’t get food poisoning,” I added teasingly, making her smack my waist and glare up at me.
Always resorting to violence… 2,
Smirking slightly, I kissed her lips feeling Corrado staring, and it took a lot to keep my tongue to myself. We moved back, our eyes locked, and I felt a wave of strength wash through me.
Their presence helped…
Corrado giggled and made kissy sounds as I picked up the tray and took it to the table.
“I’ll be right back; I’m just going to change into something else.” Azura added. I watched her leave, my eyes on her ass only for Corrado to giggle again.
I raised my eyebrow sitting down. “What are you finding so funny?” I asked, grabbing the remote and switching the TV on.
He giggled covering his mouth. “Daddy and Mommy just kiss all the time. Lucy at school said you kiss, you make a baby. Is Mommy having lots of babies now because you kiss so much?” His eyes widened as he scanned the room. Where will we keep all the babies…” 7

What the hell do kids talk about?
I smiled slightly, ruffling his hair. In his Batman pyjamas, he looked super cute.
“It takes a lot more than a kiss to make a baby, and before you ask what that means, it means there’s a certain time of the… moon cycle that is also needed to make a baby.” I took a bit of nachos, this actually tasted pretty good, although I felt like I had no appetite. I realised we hadn’t eaten since the McDonald’s we caught earlier. 2
A frown creased his cute little face as he pondered over what I had just said. I put on a cartoon just when I heard footsteps and her scent reaching my nose. I turned, spotting her running her fingers through her hair, my breath caught in my throat, She was wearing a workout shirt of mine that was hanging off her, and a pair of my boxers that left her sexy legs on display.
Well fuck… There was just something about her in my clothes that was a total turn–on…
She looked up, smirking as she leaned over the back of the sofa, kissing my lips
‘Like what you see?‘ She taunted seductively, pulling away and planting a big kiss on
Corrado’s head.
‘Oh absolutely.‘ I replied, caressing her thigh as she walked past and took a seat on the other side of Corrado and wrapping her arm around him.
“So, what am I missing? What are you father and son chatting about?”
“Oh, how babies are made. Daddy told me all about it.” Corrado said seriously, making her eyes widen into saucers. Damn, she had big eyes…
I smirked slightly. Despite the pain that lingered in my chest, these two were taking the edge off, making it a little more bearable.
“Shocked?” I mocked her, as she turned her attention back to Corrado.
“Did he now? What did he say?” She asked.
“He told me about the moon cycle, and that only at a certain time can you make babies.” He repeated, well at least he was damn smart and paid attention.
Azura laughed, giving him a squeeze. “Yup, the monthly cycle really means a lot.”
“So it’s special like the Blood Moon…”
“Yeah, it definitely consists of red…” I smirked, earning myself a look from Azura.
Corrado nodded, “Oh we are never told this at school. Oh, dear. So how many sisters and brothers will we have? Because if there’s lots and lots, we need a big house! I help you take care of them, ok?”
“Awe of course! But I don’t know, I think just the two of you might be enough?” She said, looking at me. “Unless your dad wants many more.”
I wrapped my arm around her, placing the Nachos in my lap and fed her a piece. “Not sure, but two sounds good enough. By the way, these don’t taste half bad.”
She bit into it, and I was very aware of the big pair of eyes watching us from the middle. She took it, her lips brushing my fingers, and smoothly licked the salsa from my fingers. Yeah, I think this just became my favourite meal right after her…
She moved back, her heart pounding as Corrado clapped his hand.
