Chapter 29

29 (final copy)

"Happy Birthday, Dear Zelda! Happy Birthday to you!" Everyone sings, as I blow the candles out. I watch as everyone cheers and claps. I smile big, putting my hands over my mouth, as I fight back here. I feel Jeremiah hug me tight.

"Happy Birthday." He whispers.

"Thank you so much Jer."

"How about we go get some food?" He asks, as a bunch of people in white uniforms come out with food.

"Sounds great." I smile, as Jeremiah leads me to our table. I watch as Miles and Maya wobble their way to the table with their mates behind them. They sit down as I move in between them both, then grab food.

"So Miles?"

"What?"

"Do you know the gender yet?"

"Not yet," She says, putting her hand on her stomach, "Either way we like the name Jordyn, with a y. That will be the name, boy or girl."

"I love it," I smile, "I know this baby will be strong and loved."

"You think so?"

"Of course," I smile, "Also Jeremiah and I decided when we get married, I'm going to get crowned Queen."

"When?"

"Next month."

"What? Really?"

"Mmhmm."

"Holy Shi-"

"Oi, language, baby can still hear in the stomach."

"Right." Miles laughs.

"Now both of you shut up and feed your babies."

"Okay." They both laugh.

"Honestly, I'm so blessed to have you girls in my life."

"What about me?" We turn and see Lily.

"And you." I smile big, "Sooo. I was thinking, Bridesmaid? I couldn't ask for a better group of friends."

"Of course!" They all say, "We love you Zel."

"Ahem!" I turn and see Jeremiah. He was standing, holding a glass of champagne, "I would like to make a toast to my mate." He looks at me.

"Zelda Faye Throndsen, I just want to say you mean the world to me. You gave me two amazing girls. You have just been an amazing blessing in my life. You are the woman who changed my whole life. Not for the worse, for the better. I was so scared at first, I ignored and hurt you. I wish I never did any of that. So I made this vow, to you and our kids. I will never do that ever again. Happy Birthday Zelda," He holds his glass up, "To Zelda."

"I love you." I mouthed.

"I love you more." He whispers, as he sits down next to me.

"I love you even more. And soon we will be married."

"Happily ever after? Am I right?"

"Only you would say that." He laughs, making me punch him in the arm.

"I mean it tho. I'm glad I found you."

"I'm glad I found you as well." He says, hugging me tight.

"Alright love birds, stop being all lovey dubby. It's the girl's birthday. TIME TO DANCE!" I laugh when I see Zermaine, who took off his jacket and started waving it around while dancing like a completely goofball with Miles.

"GET IT!" I shout, clapping.

"Why don't we join them?"

"What about the girls?"

"I'll watch them." Lily says.

"No I will." Maya says.

"I will." My step mother says, "You girls go have fun with your mates."

"That's if I had a mate." Lily grumbles, standing up, before going stiff.

"What?"

"M-Mate."

"WHAT?" Maya and I shout.

"Where?"

"There." I turn and see that she was pointing at my brother.

"Holy cheeseballs."

"What?"

"Maya, that's my brother."

"Holy crap it is!"

"Lily, how come you didn't know before? You know, when he visited before?"

"I don't know." She says.

"Hey sis! Happy birthday!" He says, hugging me, even as he hugged me--I could tell how stiff he was as well. He knew Lily was his mate.

"Hey Logan," I smile, "You know Maya. This is Lilith. Jeremiah's younger sister. Lilith, my older brother Logan."

"Hi." Lily says.

"Hey," He smiles big, "Would you like to dance?"

"S-Sure." She stuttered, taking his hand as he led her to the dance floor.

"I just realized, she'll be going home with you guys." I say, tearing up./

"You still have Miles."

"I guess," I smile, "It won't be the same."

"Just focus on the moment now," Maya says, "Be happy. Let's have fun with our mates and mate this a night worth while."

"Okay," I smile, "Let's go!"

"How is everything?" I ask, as I walk around the outdoor garden with my planner, Morgana.

"Everything is ready for both your wedding and coronation." She says, looking through her clipboard.

"Are you positive?" I ask, "Because I have never planned a wedding or a coronation for a matter of fact." I say, looking through my very own clipboard.

"I promise Luna, everything is perfect. Everything will run perfectly."

"I may be mated to the Alpha, but I'm not officially the Luna until after the ceremony."

"I guess you have a point there." She laughs, "Well. If it's okay with you, Miss Throndsen, may I clock out for the day?"

"Of course, see you in two days." I smile.

"See you in two days." She nods, before leaving. I take a deep breath, as I double check and triple check my clipboard.

"Well look at you being a busy bee." I turn and see Jeremiah. He walks up to me, wrapping his arms around me, "You look nice."

"Seriously?" I ask, looking down at my outfit. It was dark green baggy jeans with a black cropped turtleneck and a matching green jean jacket. And my hair was in a messing bun, and I had zero makeup on.

"You look amazing, babe."

"Speaking of babe... where are our babies?"

"They are with Miles," He says, "She offered to watch them while I try to convince you to calm down and focus on your girls."

"I know, but this event is a big day for us. I just want everything to be-"

"Perfect," He laughs, "Babe, that's what you have been saying for the past two and a half weeks."

"I just want it to be perfect."

"Well, you have two girls who need their mom. Go, you finished planning everything. Go spend time with them."

"Right," I laugh, "Oh. Dinner. Chinese."

"I know a good place twenty minutes out."

"Yeah, that's a good place. Now I have my girls to look after."

"Okay, now I need to meet Zermaine."

"Okay see you later." I smile.

"Love you."

"Love you even more." I say, kissing him.

"Love you even even more." He smiles, giving me a hug, before jumping back, shifting and racing off.
