Liara squeezed his hand that she had been holding since the moment he made her lie on the bed. ‘You good?’ She had her minds linked.
‘I think so. I’m just… I mean, this feeling is so overwhelming that I don’t know how to react.’
‘Happy?’
‘Hmm. I can’t wait to hold that little rascal in my arms.' Theodore said and immediately added. ‘But I don’t know how to hold a pup
. What if I drop Griffin? Without his wolf, he might die.’
Liara didn’t say anything about that. She was sure that time would answer his question one day.
"Please prepare two copies of the report," Liara said to the doctor because Calvin had asked for one copy. Maybe he wanted to show it to his daughter, or maybe he wanted to show it to their parents.
She tried her best not to expect anything good. She didn’t know whether her father would be happy with this news or would get mad at her for having a pup with a rogue.
"No. Prepare three copies." Theodore said that because he was going to frame all the pictures of their pup.
‘Planning something?’
‘Maybe. Anything for my pregnant mate.' Theodore answered, wrapping his hand around her waist and kissing her hair. ‘Your hair is white again from the root.’
"I will color it tonight."

"Here!! All these chocolates for Rose." Liara said when Calvin finally had to leave.
"And for me?"
"Who will say that you’re five years older than me?" Liara asked and gave him some more chocolates, even for him. These were the chocolates that Theodore had gotten to satisfy her pregnancy craving.
Theodore was tempted to taunt Calvin for landing here empty-handed and taking all his friend’s chocolate while leaving.
Well, as long as Liara was giving her chocolates for her niece, he didn’t mind that, after all, she was a kid. But he glared at the thirty-two-year-old man in front of him.
"Your mate is glaring at me as if he wanted to suck all my blood out of my vein." Calvin joked.
Liara giggled before adding, "Remember not to tell our dad about dad."
"I’m not good at keeping secrets."
"You have to keep secrets this time," Liara said sternly. "Or I will ask Caro to wipe your memory."
"Fine! Fine!" Calvin groaned as this was one of the toughest jobs for him. "We will meet soon!" And this time, I won’t take two years. I’m sorry. I was busy raising Rose in the best way possible, fulfilling the roles of both mother and father.
"Hey!! I understand." Liara stopped him. "I’m proud of you, brother. You gave most of your time to your daughter, who needed you most. So, don’t apologize for that."
"If possible, please be here at the time of your niece’s birth. I mean, you are so great with Pup. Maybe you can train Theodore."
Both Theodore and Calvin’s eyes widened at that remark. Theodore imagined Calvin giving him a tutorial on how to hold a pup, and Calvin imagined teaching him how to change diapers in seconds.
Theodore quickly shook his head, coming out of this nightmare, and looked at Calvin with tension.
He would go crazy spending time with this chatterbox.
"Do you imagine the same thing that I did?" Calvin teased, and Theodore growled at him before departing."Okay! I will leave now."
"Sure!! Let me open the gate, which will take you directly near your pack." Liara said before using her gate stone.

"Why are you upset?" Liara asked, studying Moana, who was walking beside her in the mall but wasn’t physically present there.
"Nothing."
Liara and Moana came into the store to shop for a couple of things that Liara needed.
"Is it Alaric?" She asked in a low tone. "You can trust me, Mo."
"I don’t know, Lee. I don’t want to talk about that blood-sucking leech. I don’t know what's wrong with him."
"Did you two sleep?"
"No. Not that. It’s complicated, Lee. I don’t want to talk about it." Moana said that Liara stopped forcing her to share her problem when she didn’t want to.
"Remember that your big sister is here. Let me know in case you need any type of help." She said. Moana gave a small smile upon hearing this.
"Calvin, your brother said the same and even invited me to his pack whenever I could." Moana pointed this out, recalling her conversation with him. "I so wish that we were not related. so that I could have the pass to woo him."
Liara smiled and picked up the shampoo that she had to buy.
"I think even I should start taking care of myself a little," Moana muttered and started grabbing everything that Liara was buying.
"I heard that you got a room for yourself. Do you need my help getting everything that you might need?"
"Sure. Why not? I haven’t spent a single penny in the last two and a half years, so I have a lot of money in my bank account." Moana said, showing her the balance of her account on her mobile, which she had recently bought.
"Wow!!" Liara smiled, looking at the dollar in six digits.
