Mei's POV
Luka was still fast asleep so I took the opportunity to just admire the man next to me. He was breathing softly as we were both facing each other. I couldn't help myself not to touch his cheeks which I did gently, caressing him whilst I could. I think he felt my cold hands warming up against his face as he lifted his hand cupping mine still with his eyes closed.
"You already awake?" He asked me still with his sleepy deep voice.
"Only to watch you sleep my darling," I said as my eyes gazed on his lips.
He opened his breathtaking grey eyes that met mine as he leaned in for a kiss.
"I am hoping that today will be a winning day for us. I am so done worrying about everything. I don't want our child and future children to be brought up not knowing what the forest offers because we won't risk facing the vampires."
He held his hand on my still flat belly caressing it. I smiled and inhaled sharply.
"We won't have that kind of future for our kids and the next generations to come. We fight today to win tomorrow's freedom."
I brought my fingers through his hair, noticing that he was growing a few white strings of hair from the front.
"Let's get up, my old man. We need to train early, remember?"
I rolled over and got up feeling energetic. It might be that I was nervous and that drew my energy level up. I wore my green training top and black training trousers that would match with Luka's clothing.
I walked down the stairs to join the packs for training. Lylah was having a conversation with the children that have gathered around her enjoying her storytelling as they were all sitting down on the floor.
"It was a bit, yes, but then I got used to the tingly feeling, Nelly said to Sindy. The tiny fairy smiled at her response and wondered when she will ever get to her fifteenth birthday to be able to have magic too like her older sister."
I approached Lylah and the kids slowly, admiring her. She knows how to entertain the pups. Lylah looked up towards my direction and stopped the story. A few kids started to protest and so she smiled at them and brushed her fingers over their hair.
"Good morning Mei. How are you feeling today?"
She looked at my belly as she raised her eyebrows. I looked down rubbing both my hands on my belly smiling.
"Can't wait to have him in my arms," I answered having the feeling that its a boy.
"Too early to say if you are trying to ask me to check for you. You cannot yet tell what it will turn out to be. Either or, they are both rewarding, right?" She asked looking back at the kids hugging a few of them.
"Where is it?" One four years old blonde girl asked.
Both Lylah and I giggled. Lylah pointed at my belly to show her.
"I don't see it though," she said innocently, searching my belly.
"Yes, that is because it is still growing inside her. In a few months, you will see her belly grow," Lylah explained to her looking at me.
