How I picture Dan

(7 weeks later)

  I am currently twelve weeks pregnant. I am due any time between the next one to three months. Phoebe is due in three months. Werewolf pregnancy is usually six months. Other supernatural creatures pregnancies are between four to six months long.

  Tiana is moving in with us today. My mates and I are excited and nervous. Due to the enchantment on me. No one in the pack besides the Alpha knows I am pregnant.

  Bruce is arriving with her to help move her stuff. He is good for the heavy lifting. August and I are waiting at the pack entrance.

Dan one of the warriors is on guard duty. August still remembers when he hit on me. I just laugh at his jealousy.

  We are meeting them at the entrance. They need to check in and get passes. Bruce will be a reoccurring visitor. Tiana a temporary resident. The alpha already approved both.

  They pull up in Bruce's full size pick up truck. With a box and two large suit cases in the bed of the truck. The plan for now is for her to stay with us till after all the kids are born.

  Bruce pulled over and gets out of the truck. I walk up to meet him. Tiana and him both hug me. I tell them to follow me to the guard booth to get the passes. August yells at Dan to come out with the passes.

  As soon as Dan walks out his nose goes in the air sniffing. I watch Bruce do the same thing. He is checking Dan out. Dan has brown hair shaved on the sides and light stubble. Bruce has a thing for tattoos.

  He is sure to love Dans forearm tattoos.  They realize they are mates and walk right up to each other. Dan is first to say mate. I am looking stunned.

  Bruce looks at me. Gabe is he the guard that hit on you and made August jealous? Yes Bruce but that was months ago. He has been nothing but a gentleman since. Ok Gabe I appreciate your honesty.

  Dan can we have the guest passes please. Also what time do you get off? Maybe you can visit me at Gabe and August's. Whenever your free, Bruce asks.

  You are Bruce right, Dan asks. Here is your pass and here is Tiana's. I get off in two hours. If it is ok with August I will stop by. Can I have your phone number Bruce.

  Bruce hands Dan his phone. Here add your number. I will see you soon Mate. Bruce then winks at Dan.

I watch the interaction and laugh when Dan blushes. Tiana watched the whole thing. Really now I am the only one mateless she says.

  Soon Tiana I can feel it. Maybe your mate is at Raging river also. That would be so cool if both my friends find mates here. We could all be closer together and visit more. I feel like we do not see each other as much since I moved here.

  Well Gabriel you have me for the next three to four months. I will be your shadow. I am sure you will be sick of me by then. I highly doubt that Tiana.

  I look at August and nudge his shoulder. Can you believe Bruce is Dans mate. Now you have no reason to be jealous of either of them anymore. Bruce heard me and looks at August.

  Why were you jealous of me. He is my best friend. I have always respected that. I know says August. I was jealous of how well you know him and your close relationship.

  I see says Bruce. You have no reason. I have my own mate to get to know. I am happy he is here near your family. Dan and I have much to discuss one being who will move.

  It will probably be me if the Alpha will let me train or try out as a warrior here. I am not sure how he runs things. You know Gabriel I take my warrior position very serious.

  Ok let's get going. I am sure Phoebe is waiting for us at home. I can not wait to tell her the good news. She will be so happy for you Bruce.

  We all get into our cars and head back to our place. Bruce and August grab Tiana's things. I lead her to where she will be staying. She starts putting her things in the dresser.

  A few hours later she meets us in the living room. Phoebe has tea made. There is a knock on the door. I answer it, and it is Dan.

Phoebe looks confused. Dan welcome, Bruce is in the living room. Phoebe Bruce is Dans mate. He is here to visit him.

  Whoa really, about time for both of you. I am thrilled Bruce. Besides being a huge flirt. Dan is a nice guy and an amazing Warrior Phoebe says. Aww thanks Phoebe that was so sweet of you Dan responds.

  We all sit in the living room and have tea. Phoebe puts on reruns of the Fresh prince of Belair. We are all laughing hysterically. I almost wet myself. The twins are sitting on my bladder.

  I put my hand on my belly and groan. August shoots up what's wrong Gabe is it the babies. Chill August they are just bouncing on my bladder. I am fine.

  Dan looks at me. What are you talking about. Phoebe is the one pregnant.

Shit, August stop freaking out. Dan it's nothing do not worry about it. You are right Phoebe is having twins.

  Hey Bruce why don't you go on the porch and talk. I know you said you had a few things to discuss with your mate.  Sure Gabriel Dan and I do need to talk.

  As soon as they step outside I glare at August. You need to be careful. Now Dan is going to be asking questions. I can trust Bruce. Now he will most likely have to lie to his mate.

  I am sorry Gabe. You know I worry about you and the babies. I know but what are you going todo. If you make that mistake at work amongst Detectives. They are more than likely to figure things out.

  Good thing you are taking leave soon. You know I am going back to work. After having the kids. I am not staying at home forever.

I know Gabe. You know you could if you want to. You know what August. You can sleep on the couch too if you want to.

  Whoa, I think it is my cue to go up to my room says Tiana. Tell Bruce I will see him tomorrow.  He is staying on the couch out here right? Yep we already started on the nurseries. Unless he goes home with Dan.

  Remember we are having dinner with my family tomorrow Phoebe says. You will need to meet my dad the alpha. I am sure Bruce will want to talk to him to since his mate lives here. Sounds good Tiana says.

  Good night Tiana hope you sleep well. You also Gabriel. We will do a check up on the twins in the morning. I am looking forward to it Tiana. Thanks again for doing this. She nods at me and walks towards her room.
