"Of course it's enough. It's always enough," I promised him. I kissed him gently before I turned back to Nolan.
"Let's go find dad," I suggested. Nolan cracked a smile and nodded.
"Of course," he said. We found Peter and Dad over near the refreshments. I gave them each a quick hug. I turned and was immediately brought into a hug. There was two sets of growling. I let go and smiled at him before Elias wrapped an arm around my waist.
"You're getting bigger," Mason said as he put his hand on my stomach. I chuckled and looked at my stomach as well. I forgot that the last time he saw me I wasn't showing at all.
"I am. I'm glad to see you here," I said honestly. He smiled and dropped his hand; a girl at his side immediately picked it up. She was pretty. She was as short as me. She had wavy scarlet hair and narrowed brown eyes. Her full pouty lips were pulled back over her elongated teeth as she growled at me. Mason looked at her and blushed.
"Oh, Nova, this is my mate, Jessica," he said. I smiled at her.
"Finally! It's nice to meet you, Jessica," I greeted her.
"Jessica, this is Luna of the Rigor Moon pack, and my best friend, Nova," he introduced me. Jessica stopped snarling and bowed her head respectfully.
"Luna... I apologize," she said. I only laughed.
"It's okay, really," I forgave her. Elias kissed my head and held my hand gently. I turned to Mason and smiled.
"I'm happy for you, Mason," I said honestly. My brother touched my stomach gently.
"Matt," Alexa scolded him. Elias and Mathias only laughed together. It was a good family moment.
Alexa took my hand and started leading me towards the house.
"Mom, where are you taking Nova?" Elias asked.
"To bed. This isn't healthy for a growing baby. Nova needs sleep," Alexa said. She took me upstairs without another word from Elias. She ran a bath for me and set up a nightgown on the bed. I soaked in the tub and washed up before I got dressed. Alexa rubbed oil over my stomach until I started dozing off. Elias came in the room and just got in the bed beside me. Alexa kissed my hand before she smiled at me.
"Get some sleep, my daughter. We'll catch up more later," Alexa said softly. Elias pulled me into his side. I had no problem curling into him as much as I could with my baby bump.
