Rebel POV
It’s been a couple of weeks since I got back from the harrowing experience with Cullen. Roxie, true to her word, had me healed up by the next day. This pregnancy is making me hungry, needy and moody. Sometimes it’s at the same time. I didn’t think pregnancy would be this wild, but it’s really a rollercoaster of emotions.
Austin has been perfect. He can’t seem to keep his hands off me when we are together now. He says my scent is stronger with the pregnancy and it drives him wild. He loves to show me whenever he is near me too. He also loves feeling the boys kick me. It’s not bad right now, but they are active little pups. He loves to watch my stomach flutter when the boys move around. One night, I couldn’t sleep because one of the boys had hiccups and I could feel it. Austin being the amazing mate he is started rubbing my stomach and Cronos started purring until the hiccups stopped, so I could sleep.
The cravings are weird too. I don’t like okra, it taste like snot to me, but fried okra is currently the flavor of the week for the boys. I can’t seem to get enough and as I’m eating it, my brain is trying to make sense of why I’m eating something I know I don’t like. Renata laughs as she remembers when she was pregnant with Austin and she couldn’t get enough of cornbread smothered in ice cream with blackberry syrup.
Lacey is having a girl! She is so excited and Renz has been queasy since finding out. It’s been hilarious seeing how protective he is of Lacey and how he talks to his daughter about not being able to date until she is forty or he is dead, whichever comes first. I’m not allowed to help with setting up the nurseries, but I am allowed to say what I want and how I want it.
Jane and Jessup just found out yesterday they are expecting too. Jane was crying and relieved. I had no idea she was worried that she wasn’t going to be able to conceive. Lacey, Renata and I were hugging and anything said or emotional is setting me off to cry right now, so I had tears running down my face and that made the other ladies start laughing.
My grandparents did come by and spend a week with me after I my ordeal with Cullen. They were relieved to see me in good spirits and not having a mental breakdown. It was not fun going through all the things Cullen did, but it was worse for me to see Austin suffering with seeing me so battered. He is my love and my life line. Without him, none of this will be worth it in my life. Without him, I don’t have our life and our pups. I don’t have the friends and family I now have. I don’t have the education, that I have been improving on with the books I have been reading. Without him, I don’t have the life that the Moon Goddess has blessed us both with and I am going to make sure I honor all of her blessings.
One thing still pending to close the loop on is Mary. She is the omega that helped me get away from Cullen. She wanted to come here with two other omegas and Austin said today, they will be here. Since the three women coming are single and unmated, I had rooms for them set up in the omega quarters. I made sure to replace everything that was old or worn with fresh and new. I want them to know that I am grateful to them and I want to know exactly what they would feel good about doing here. I want to make sure they are happy and safe after they either risked or was willing to risk so much to help me.
I’m back in the pack house kitchen, rummaging through the fridge and looking for anything savory. These boys constantly eat. I see prepped bacon and my mouth starts salivating. I grab a couple of pieces and when I close the door, Austin is standing behind it smirking at me. “What are you doing sexy mama?”
I blush, I see the look in his eyes. I know that look. He is an insatiable as I am now and that look is making my core ache. “Mmm…boys wanted savory. Bacon is on the menu.”
