A lot happened in the next two weeks.
Liam had become more protective over me, possessive as well, and I couldn't of loved it anymore than I did. He worried over me often, afraid I'd become weak at a moments notice, though I did my best to assure him I didn't lose my power since I was changed into a hybrid. My power only grew stronger every day, regardless of my position with my mate. But I was never going to be as strong as he was.
He loved me and he didn't hesitate to show me how much every chance he got. He sent me flowers when he had to leave town for three days, claiming something had happened to his mother. I couldn't stand being away from him for so long, I missed him like crazy. But he made sure I was alright every moment in different ways, by talking to one of the girls, Michael or Danny, or texting me sweet text telling me how much he missed me.
But he did not hesitate to show me how much he missed me when he got back.
I wasn't surprised when I started feeling sick, neither were Kayla or Daniella. Michael was freaking out, which resulted in Daniel and Liam freaking out as well, when I threw up twice one afternoon before going to bed.
But I had a feeling I knew what it was.
I leaned my head against the cool bathroom wall, closing my eyes as a wave of exhaustion swept over me.
Liam helped me stand to my feet. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine." I mumbled, pushing away from him so that I could brush my teeth for the second time that night. "I think that chicken Michael made went bad."
I was trying to put toothpaste on my toothbrush, but a wave of dizziness washed over me and I lost my balance.
"You are not okay." Liam mumbled as he caught me before I could even begin to fall over, lifting me into his arms.
I leaned my head against his chest and closed my eyes, inhaling his scent, which smelled like fresh paint.
"You need to get some rest." He kissed my forehead as he layed me down in our bed before he pulled off his shoes.
He'd just gotten home from work, after taking a two week vacation to spend some time with me, where he worked in construction. He was covered in paint fron what it looked like and I could smell a hint of wood as he pulled his coat off. I felt bad that he had to come home from his first day back at work, to find me throwing up.
I curled up into his chest when he climbed into bed with me, pulling the covers over the two of us.
"I missed you today." I mumbled, kissing his bare chest, satisfied as he shivered at the contact.
"I missed you, too." He said, curling his fingers through mine as my hand rested on his chest. "Now get some rest. I love you."
"I love you too." I responded before I was out like a light.

"I wanna help." I pouted at Liam. "C'mon, they're my kids, too."
Liam chuckled and handed me Trevor's stocking before pecking me softly on the lips. "You're adorable."
"And so are you." I responded with a smile.
I'd been so caught up in everything that had happened, that I forgot about the holidays. Joey hated the hoidays, so we never celebrated, meaning it'd be Susan's first Christmas.
I found out I was pregnant that morning, but I wanted to tell Liam and the kids on Christmas, which was only two days away.
He would be able to notice my scent, so I kept using his body wash, a little more than I normally did.
The girls knew, but they promised not to tell.
Liam couldn't keep his hands off of me, and I didn't blame him. I loved just being so close to him.
"You guys are so loud." Michael shook his head as he stuffed Tommys stocking. "Despite how thick the walls are, I can still hear you."
"You could get your own house." Liam offered.
"Yeah, right." Michael scoffed, though Kayla was quick to contradict him.
"We could. They've just finished those houses around the corner. And we have two kids and one on the way, so why not?" She shrugged as she looked at Michael, who seemed to think it over.
"We are moving, too." Danny said as she leaned back, into Daniel's chest. "We've been discussing it for a while now and we figured you two need your privacy."
"You really don't have to." Liam said. "It's cool having all of us under one roof."
"But if you're sleeping with my sister, I'd prefer not to know about it." Michael responded and looked to Kayla. "But if you want to move, then we will."
He rubbed her swollen stomach, which had been barely a bump when I saw her again. With werewolves, there was no telling how fast your child grew. Sometimes it took a full term, other times it could only take a few weeks or months. Kayla fell into that department for the moment.
"Mom is throwing a Christmas party on Christmas night and she wants us to come." Daniel said. It wasn't his birth mom, but she treated us all like her children so she was a Mom to all of us, even the two of us that were actually her children.
I nodded. "I haven't seen her yet so it'd be nice. What about the kids?"
"There'll be other kids there." Daniella responded before Daniel had the chance.
Kayla and Michael excused themselves so that they could go to the store, Kayla claiming we forgot extra decorations. Daniel and Daniella decided they'd join them and take the kids with them.
Liam went to kiss me, but I put a hand to his lips, pushing him away from me with a smile.
"I'm still sore from this morning." I said, but pecked his lips softly.
"Then I'll be gentle." He responded, pulling me into his lap so that my back was pressed to his chest, his erection poking my behind and causing a flash of desire to spread through my body.
We always seemed to want each other every second of the day. It never got annoying, but it did become tiring. But it was worth it.
I only thought it was because of my pregnancy hormones, even if I wasn't heavily pregnant by then.
We made passionate love then, and he made me orgasm more times than I could count.
But he definitely wasnt gentle, though I didn't care.
