"They've gotten so big," I said softly, her eyes casting towards me as she nodded.
"I know you missed out on a lot, dear. But there are plenty of other things to worry about. Your health being one of them."
"I know, mom," I said with a sigh. "It's just moments like this I realized I've missed out on so much. I know eventually, it'll get easier, but for now, I just have to work with it one day at a time."
She knew exactly what I meant, and wrapping her arm around my shoulder, she pulled me close to her, kissing the side of my face just as she had always done since I was little.
"Well, now that you're awake, you can start working on making me more grandchildren." The comment she made caused us both to laugh as I raised my brow.
"Well, there are four of them, and considering the fact they are not interested in naturally knowing which children belong to who, I can guarantee you that with their sexual appetites, I will be pregnant more than once."
Even though this was my mother, we hid nothing from each other, and as my comment made her laugh, she looked over to Damien gestured for him to come over.
I could see the hesitation in his eyes. According to Talon, he was terrified of my mother. Although I didn't understand why she was such a sweet lady. Nevertheless, he walked toward us with caution.
"Yes, ma'am," he said quite quicker than I had expected, making me laugh.
"Now that my daughter's awake and she's looking marvelous, by the way, I do expect to have more grandchildren, so considering she says you have a very large sexual appetite, I hope by next month she's pregnant again."
