Esmeray giggled softly as Tobias kissed her round belly. She enjoyed the soft warmth of his lips on the bare skin of her stomach and she gently played with his hair. She felt the movements of the babies and gasped softly as one kicked strongly and made her flinch.

"Damn, someone's ready to see daddy," Tobias teased as he kissed the area of the kick. His hands gently traveled over the roundness of her stomach and he felt the two separate movements of the babies.

She smiled softly and continued playing with his hair, thoroughly enjoying his attention. She smiled when he looked up at her. "According to Lillian, they'll be here any day now."

He stood up and smiled, softly kissing her as he kept his hands on her belly. "I can't wait."

"Me either," she murmured against his lips while she placed her hands on his.

A knock vibrated from the door and Tobias closed his eyes for a moment before rolling them. "What is it?"

"Border patrol is ready to go. We're waiting on you, alpha," Gabriel's husky voice answered from behind the door.

"I'm coming." Tobias sighed and kissed Esmeray's lips softly one last time before he rubbed her stomach and walked off toward the door. He opened it so Gabriel wouldn't see the half naked Luna and have her one final look before walked out and closing the door.

Esmeray sighed softly and rubbed her swollen belly. A soft smile touched her face as she felt the movements of the little ones. She wondered if they were both girls or boys, or one of each. To her it didn't matter, she just wanted them to arrive healthy. Her mind swirled with the names her and Tobias had talked over as she grabbed the shirt he'd work the day before off dresser. She held it to her face and breathed deeply, taking in snd enjoying the scent of her mate. Slipping the shirt on, she made her way back to the bed and snuggled under the covers. Her body was in nest mode, and she wanted nothing more than to stay in their room since her babies were due at any time now.

Even the others in the pack could sense Esmeray's nearness. The males knew to stay away from her because if they didn't, she would snap and growl at them. Even Tobias had to be careful for there were some times she was even aggressive and uninviting toward him. The females often brought her gifts and helped her with whatever she needed, trying to ease the time. All the mother wolves knew how difficult the first delivery could be, and they wanted to make it as easy as they could.

The door slowly opened and in stepped Connor. His soft gaze swept the room and found Esmeray snoozing peacefully in the bed and he smiled. As beta, it was his job to protect her and to make sure she was okay. As her brother, he wanted to be sure she felt okay and had all she needed. He carefully walked across the floor and stood in front of her sleeping form. He hated to wake her, but he had planned something special for her. It had been a few months since the incident with Killian and he figured his surprise would ease her worry over the threats. Gently he reached out and tucked her messy hair behind her ear. "Hey Esme. Wake up sleeping beauty."

Esmeray's lashes fluttered softly before opening, her eyes glinting as she shifted and looked up at her brother. "What do you want?" She asked slightly snappishly before yawning.

"Easy lil' miss Luna," Connor said with a tiny tease, a smile breaking across his face. He was surprised she hadn't already bit his head off but he was thankful she hadn't. "I have something special for you."

She ran her fingers through her hair and hummed. She blinked once or twice before yawning. "Mmm really? What is it?"

"A surprise. Gotta come with me to get it," he answered playfully, an impish spark in his blue eyes.
