Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Amelia and I sit on the porch drinking tea, heavily pregnant with our second babies, while
Magnus plays with little Nina. Amelia and Leon’s daughter aptly named Nina because she was
such a small, tiny baby, and Nina means ‘little girl’. I think it’s pretty cute. We laugh as little
Nina holds in a mouthful of water and squirts it into Magnus’ face. Then she pokes her tongue
out at Magnus and runs away. Magnus chases after her.
‘Little Nina and Magnus are the complete opposite of each other. I say it would be interesting
to see if the Moon Goddess chooses them as mates?’ I giggle.
‘I don’t know. Every playdate we have, Nina wears poor Magnus out. She is always playing
tricks on him. She is so silly and cheeky, and he is so serious and sensible, Amelia says,
laughing.
‘I think I need to go to the bathroom, I say.
‘Me too, Amelia says. We both call out for our mates.
‘Ryker!’ I yell.
‘Leon!’ Amelia yells. They both appear.
‘Is the baby coming? Are you okay?’ Ryker asks, concerned. I place my hand on my fat belly.
‘No, I’m fine. But I can’t get out of this chair, and I need to go to the bathroom, I explain.
‘Again? This is like the tenth time already, Ryker laughs.
‘Well, next time, you carry the baby, and try not to pee every five minutes,’ I joke.
‘Okay, okay, he says, helping me up and kissing me. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Leon! I can’t get up, and I need the bathroom too, Amelia says, her hand on her swollen belly.
Ryker and I laugh. Water gushes down my legs. Ryker and I look down at the water puddling
at my feet. We smile at each other.
‘Are you ready for baby number two?’ Ryker asks. I kiss him passionately on the lips.
I’m ready for baby number three,’ I giggle.
We make it to the hospital just in time.
Doctor Herman tells me to push again. On my third push, the baby slides out.
‘It’s a boy. Doctor Herman says.
‘A brother for Magnus, I’m so happy, I say, gazing into Ryker’s eyes.
‘Astrid, he is perfect. I think you should name this baby. He
smiles,
‘Flint, his name is Flint.’ I smile.
A few weeks later, Amelia gives birth to a second daughter she names May. Magnus and Nina
remain inseparable, even though they both have a younger sibling they could play with.
Kane and Hayley monitor Shady Crest and live there permanently. Alice and Vanessa fled the
first moment they got. No one knows where they have gone to.
When Flint is nine months old, I find out I’m pregnant again. It overjoyed Ryker and me when I
gave birth to a little girl, we name Josie.
Our family is complete, and we couldn’t be happier. Nothing could ever come between my
family and friends, not even a curse, could it?
