Past Comes to Present (Book 3 in the Bodyguard series)

Nine Months Later

Five months after Crystal came the Other Ninja left with her. Jon finally got his power. And to our surprise, it was the one he wanted. "I've never seen that happen," Lloyd said now as we watched him disappear into the shadows and reappear behind Ken. 

"Yeah, but Ken can hear his thoughts so he always knows where he is," I said watching as Ken kicked him.

"True," Lloyd agreed. I grimaced as I felt a slight contraction. Lloyd saw it. "Will you let me take you to the hospital now?"

I shook my head. "They aren't close together and they don't really hurt that bad."

"Stubborn," he muttered.

"Lloyd, they're an hour apart. There's no need to get to the hospital yet."

We both heard a baby start crying and smirked at each other. "I still can't believe Nya managed to trick Jay into getting her pregnant," Lloyd said.

I nodded. "It took me by surprise too. But at least she's nicer now."

She came running into the room carrying her crying baby. "Y/n, help!"

"Then again, she makes you calm the baby down every time Tina cries," Lloyd added quietly as I took the baby from Nya.

"Y/n's experienced," Nya said.

"You're never going to get experience if you don't take care of the baby yourself!"

"Enough you two," I said before they could start arguing. "It's fine. I don't mind holding Tina." Then grimaced as another contraction hit me. That hadn't been an hour. I glanced at my watch and saw it had only been ten minutes. I handed Tina back to Nya. "Except I think it's time for me to get to the hospital."

"Oh, now you're going to let me take you?" Lloyd said exasperatedly. 

"Ugh," I groaned as another contraction hit. "Yes."

Lloyd sighed and picked me up. Then flew me to the hospital. Five hours later, our daughter was born. "What are we going to name her?" Lloyd asked.

I opened my mouth to reply when Ken and Jon burst into the room. "Mom!" They chorused. 

"Shh," Lloyd told them. "Your sister is asleep."

"Sister?" Jon said. "Aw, man. I wanted a brother."

"You have a brother!" Ken said.

"Another brother," Jon amended.

My mouth twitched. "I'm still planning to have three more kids. So maybe you'll get your wish."

Lloyd blanched. "You're still planning to do that?"

I grinned. "Of course."

"Oh, come on!"

"Why don't we name our daughter Luna?" I said watching as she latched onto my breast.

"Luna?"

I nodded. "It's a cute name, right?"

"Uh...sure?"

I scowled. "Definitely having three more kids."

"Ugh," Lloyd complained.

"It's going to happen whether you like it or not," I informed him.

He made a face. "I know. There's no way to change your mind once it's made up."

"Exactly."

"That doesn't mean I like it!"

Ken and Jon were ignoring us and just watching their baby sister. "She's cute," Jon said.

"She's more than cute! She's adorable," Ken said.

Lloyd and I both chuckled. "Luna," I said softly. "These are your older brothers. Kenako and Jonathan."

"I'm the oldest," Jon said.

"By a year so it's not really that important," Ken added.

Jon glared. "What did you say?"

"Nothing."

I laughed. "Okay. Enough you two."

And that's how my family went from a family of four to a family of five.
