Part of the pack

Something is comforting about living where you’ve always been. Everyone knows you. You’re part of something.

Going to the airport means meeting the person/people that have left their hometown in a king time and are now coming back. Seeing their changes, the way they held themselves, and shedding off the immaturity of the past was a sight to behold.

Fortunately, my senses were already trained in the beginning after I confirmed my now new identity. I didn't have to deal with the loud abrasive noise, the pungent smell that came off from a mile away, and can now use it to the fullest extent.

When I saw Everlyn's protruding stomach, I felt the wonders of life and a smile blossomed on my face on the future that they would face. She looks full of life, her cheeks were rosy red and the light in her eyes seems to sparkle every time she laughs, even with how big her stomach is she still walks as light as a feather at this moment.

Shuren was by her side like a worrywart nanny as she described on the phone. I greeted him and he nodded at me politely, when it was my turn to look at Everlyn she immediately sprang up to me and I held her.

"Everlyn!"

"Eve!"

Me and Shuren said at the same time, Shuren looked scared witless as Everlyn pouted at the two of us.

"Geez! I'm pregnant but I can still move! I'm not porcelain!" She stomps her feet like a little child, I knew from the start that her temper would run wild and it has even more become distorted with her pregnancy hormones.

"We're just being careful" I explained to her while she rolled her eyes, it was a sentence that has already taken seed to her head and she couldn't wait to get rid of it.

"Oh shush, you two men talk I'll take my darling best friend with me" she took my hand and the two, Shuren and Lukka was left together to get their bags.

Everlyn didn't even wait for Shuren and decided to just throw herself into the car and forced me to leave the two men once more. I can only mind link Lukka and told him that they can take themselves home.

"So, what level are the two of you now?"

I gasp at her directness, she still hasn't changed, thankfully my hands were steady and we didn't crash.

"W-What do you mean? What level are you talking about!"

"Hmph, you're still so innocent about it, don't worry this married best friend of yours will tell you the secret to let the both of you receive utmost pleasure"

I started to sing at the top of my lungs when she started the conversation. She didn't interrupt me and just look at me as if I'm a misbehaving child throwing tantrums at an elder.

"Tsk, tsk, it'll hurt you know?"

"Ah! Stop!" It frot like my neck to my ears were flaming red, must be redder than flaming Cheetos.

I am not so innocent about it but I had never personally tried it, it's not that I don't dare to but I didn't want it to be on the premise of being forced by my peers and satisfying my curiosity.

"My darling Selene, you have a lot to learn," she said wistfully like an old woman, I just shake my head at her ridiculousness.

Soon I felt two heartbeats on her stomach except hers, I look at her in shock before placing my sight on the lane again.

"Did you have twins?"

"How did you know?" She was genuinely surprised and I immediately explained.

"I'm a vet and partly a doctor but only for animals but I know that your stomach seems to be too big for three months" she nodded in affirmation and I sigh in relief.

Her house came into view and I parked the car into their garage, her parents were already waiting for us on their porch and Everlyn step out first.

"Oh be careful!" Candice showed a nervous expression and take her daughter's hand. Now I understand how stressful it is seeing both her parents and husband treating her with such careful movements.

"Mom! I'm fine, geez, you even ran out to work when you were seven months pregnant with me before!"

"Oh, that's different now! Don't say anything just go inside, you'll get cold" I look up and the sun was shining brightly at the top of our heads, it's also the month of summer and I could only agree with Candice.

Everlyn's house still stayed the same, no dust nor cobwebs could be seen since they would arrange a cleaner every week. Her father Mike welcomed us with a banner, a feast on the table that is both nourishing for pregnant women and healthy for normal women.

"My princess, how is married life?"

"It was fine dad until I get pregnant" Mike could only shake his head in helplessness at his stubborn, independent daughter. "How about you Selene? I heard from Stephen that there's a stinky- I mean a man-pleasing your family"

"Time sure does turn fast, look at us old people. Selene was just a little kid and I could still vividly remember how she used to play with Everlyn with wolf figurines instead of dolls" she laughed in passing, her eyes in a trance for a second there.

"Oh Aunt Candice, I don't think you and Uncle Mike is old yet if so you two most are the most gorgeous and fashionable elders of all of Wilsbrein"

"Silly you, now is that man treating you well?" 

"Oh I'm sure he is, he must be treating her very well" Everlyn wiggled her brows and snickered while I blush at her innuendo. If she wasn't pregnant I would have kicked her shin.

"We're fine Aunt Candice, my parents were just a bit uneasy about me having a relationship with a man and wanted to know him well first before approving us"

"That's great, you know I cried so hard when my princess married" Mike wiped his eyes which were easily showing glimmers of tears.

"Dad" Everlyn whimpered softly and held her father's hand. "Sorry, hormones" she laughed it out and her mother patted both her husband and daughter's hand.

"You two are crybabies"

Mike composed himself easily but not Everlyn, I guess hormones really effs your brain out. Then we heard the rumbling of an automobile, it must be them and Everlyn changed her face and winked at me.

Now I kind of feel like I've been cheated. She must have planned this long ago, for her to leave her husband and Lukka alone so that they would come to her house and Lukka would meet her and her parents.

This cunning preggy hormones woman.
