Monique's Mate

New Additions

Dedication goes to RomComAddict for the name Aiden... I loved that name but feel it didn't fit for Mo and Miles kid but thought, hey, Ant starts with an A, so why not!!! Thanks so much for following along and giving me this great name suggestion!!!!!! Now on to the story!!!

==============================================================

Anthony's P.O.V

Staring into my mates eyes, I listen intently as she speaks the name of our first born into my mind. I smile widely at his first name, having my first initial. We'd agreed on the middle name long ago, just couldn't seem to come to find a nice fitting first name. But once again, my mate amazes me with her awesome ability to awe me. Yet this time is different, because I know she only came to this conclusion, while searching the eyes of our son.

"Aiden Miles Sims, say hello to your family!" Carmen speaks, her eyes never leaving his, but her smile is as wide as the sky.

The ooh's and awe's start all over again, and again, Mo is the first to hold him. She lays him over her heart and whispers a small prayer over him. For the Goddess to bless and protect him, while also thanking her for bringing him into our lives. With one last kiss to the forehead she reluctantly hands him over to Claire, who's also beaming with pride.

I take in each and every one of our family members that is present and my heart swells even more. All these people here to help Carmen and I celebrate this time of joy, is true a new feeling. One that I will forever cherish and can only hope to know again. Hopefully my mate will bless me with another child, but if not I'll be more than happy with just her and Aiden. 

'Sorry to bust your bubble sweetie, but my wolf wants more pups. And soon!' Carmen sweeps into my mind, causing my eyes to shoot back to her.

Her face is serious and I can't help but to grin even larger at the funniness of the entire situation. Of course I want more kids and I knew she did too, but after delivery women tend to change their minds about more. My mother said it was the reason she settled for only two!

'Babe, don't worry. I want as many children as our wolves can make!' she said, again reading my thoughts.

I sent her a wave of love and understanding before the nagging feeling to check on my son arouse again. A couple people over from Claire, nestled comfortably asleep, was my son in the arms of his godfather and namesake. I smiled again, thinking how much of a true brother Miles has been to me, what a great Alpha he's been to our pack and what a great father he'll be. But right now, what a great uncle he's making. 

As if sensing my stare, he locks eyes with me and hands Aiden on to the next pair of awaiting arms. He silently signals for me to join him outside and moves on to Mo's side. I go to Carmen and watch her for a few seconds, as she watches our son receive love from everyone in the room. It's a smile and a time, I want to remember forever. I kiss her forehead, promising to return soon.

Miles has made it to his office and immediately smell who is was that was coming earlier. Ignoring my nose, I head to his office and walk in after a knock to the door. He's sitting at his desk, deep in thought, staring at his computer screen.  We don't speak for a few minutes and I just wait until he's ready.

"So I'm sure you know that it was just Jon and his aunt and uncle, that was coming earlier. I'd forgotten about calling him. My wolf was bothered by one of them and I'm not sure which. The aunt and uncle seem okay and I've know Jon forever. But still, this pack and our mates come first, so I'm going to need for you to keep and eye on Jon for me." Miles spoke finally, but his eyes still rested on his computer screen.

I didn't say anything, knowing this was as close to an Alpha order that I'd ever get, so questions weren't necessary. He'd already told me earlier about Jon and his job as Mo's protector. I felt his reluctance to fully accept this about Jon and kind of expected him to act this protective. After all, Mo is carrying the child that will change the werewolf world as we know it. It's all a lot to take in and of course I feel like I just have a nephew on the way, not a savior nor a king. So I wait for Miles to continue, knowing he's not finished. Soon his eyes finally meet mine and I see his wolf is stirring.
