The Secrets of a Luna

Chapter Twenty-Five: Welcome Ruby Evelyn

Evelyn: 

Excitement bubbled in my eyes, my fingers barely able to stay still. Hudson smiled warmly over at me, the idea of holding my fang niece making me want to scream out to the world that I was an auntie of a beautiful baby girl. Taking my trembling hand, he kissed the top of my hand. Stopping in front of a random store, I picked out a couple of adorable dresses. Checking out, he wrapped his strong arms around my waist. Walking out of the store, a crystal store caught my eyes. Running, crystals of every type shimmered. Scanning the room, a single stone of pink quartz stood out to me. Scooping it up, the friendly brunette clerk smiled warmly as I paid her. Surprise widened my eyes, Hudson placing me on his back. Resting my head against his broad back, this felt so nice. People watched with smiles, the older couples discussing the younger days. Flipping me in the air, the women around me swooned as he caught me in his arms. He was such a fucking showoff, my heart fluttering as his lips kissed mine sensually. Melting into his arms, all of the women looked over at their men. Ignoring them, he set me down in my car. Clicking our seat belts the engine roared to life, my fingers wrapping around the shard of pink quartz in my palm. A bright light glowed around the stone, the shard floating in the air. The light died down, the trees flashing by my window. The stone floated back down into my palm, white stripes covering the long crystal. A silver chain hung from it, a silver lily cupping the gem. Tucking it into the bag with the outfits, Hudson spoke up.

"I can't wait to have our baby!" He proclaimed proudly, resting his free hand on my bump. "You two will become my life." Smiling warmly to myself, tears welled up in my eyes. These damn hormones had me crying twenty-four seven, his finger wiping away my tears. Blubbering like an idiot, I must have looked like a freak. Laughing to himself, the brakes screamed as we stopped in front of Theros' town. Leaping out of the car, clouds rumbled above us. Heavy raindrops crashed on top of my head, wondering who was crying more. Popping an umbrella over my head, his lips brushed the top of my head. Resting in his arms for a moment, he played with my hair. Theros cleared his throat, my body smashing into his. Spinning me around, the gift bag was getting wet. Dragging me in, Ruby sat in the middle of the floor.

"She is so cute!" I sang happily, scooping her up. Rocking her in my arms, it felt so nice to hold her in person. Sure being a wolf was okay, but holding the squirming child in my arms felt so amazing. I couldn't wait to hold my own child, Hudson stepping up behind me. Brushing his lips against the nape of my neck, my thighs rubbed together. Running his hand up my thigh, he was claiming his stake in front of Theros. Ruby cooed softly, smiling up at me. Her giggles twinkled like bells, Diamond taking the bag from my hands.

"I apologize for the wet bag." I said calmly, watching her open the bag. Delight brightened her eyes, the two frilly black outfits pleasing her. The necklace fell to the floor, the chain wrapping around her fingers. Examining it in the light, Theros took it from her fingers. Spinning it around in the air, a flurry of white rose petals danced in the air.

"So pretty." He exclaimed tiredly, his appearance looking a little more haggard than usual. "What does it actually do?" Smiling warmly to myself, my fingers wrapped around the stone. Pressing into Ruby's hands, childlike wonder illuminated our eyes as a pink dot glowed on her forehead. Refusing to let go of the stone, her tiny hands playing with the edges.

"It is a linking stone." I informed softly, passing her to Diamond. "It will call me if she ever gets in trouble. It is a protection stone, taking me right to where she is. I am sorry if I am ove-" Theros embraced me warmly, tears of exhaustion pouring from his eyes. Wrinkles covered his white dress shirt, Diamond wearing a giant black sweatshirt. Hudson watched from a distance, Grappy sitting on a branch outside of the window. Waving at me, his wings folded out to their full range. The dark purple suit suited his personality well, his black gloved hands crossing on his lap. Waving back, no one thought anything about it.
