Chapter 54

We were into the first week of November when Dina, the beta's wife, came by with plans of a baby shower. "It took you too long" I said to her. It must have been weeks since the beta himself came by to find the Luna with children. Dina just laughs, "yes we have taken our time, but we wanted to make sure that the pups have grown a bit to not make the event difficult for you and Aiden.

So thoughtful of them. I thought. But in my opinion babies are easier to handle when they are little sweet things before they get to notice their surroundings. I wasn't going to tell her that, she will find out sooner than later seeing that she is far gone in her pregnancy.

Come to think of it, isn't she supposed to have had her baby by now? "Excuse me if I am wrong, but Dina, weren't you supposed to have the baby by now?" I ask. "babies" she corrects me then smiles "I'm having a litter, three of them they told me." Three! wow this is so interesting.

We were sitting in the kitchen with sample colors everywhere, she brought with her a big events planning book. I didn't know till now that Dina was an Events planner, her work really looked like she knew what she was doing and that she loved her work. Since we were done talking about magenta and the like I decided to make tea. I did after all need friends in the pack if I was going to be their Luna for a very long time.

While having tea, we talked about anything and everything. I soon noticed that Dina and I had some few things in common and that she had a killer humor. That's the one thing we didn't share. She was witty and wasn't afraid to say her mind. I think I like her, I thought to myself.

I hadn't seen how many hours it had been since Dina left, but Aiden was just coming in. it had become routine to take Rafe and Raven for a walk in the midafternoon. He claimed that they liked it, I don't doubt that its true but I had my suspicions. He liked it more than the pups did.

I was by the living room reading a book. I mostly liked reading outdoors but in this time of the year, it was too chilly to be lingering outside. Aiden had to stop with the walks to wherever he went, but he was so cute fussing on the little pups, coating them in layers and layers of clothing. You might think me exaggerating but it was true.

"Wife, we are home" he calls out. He had gotten in from the kitchen. He got so used to me being there that he started using that door to get in. I hear some cooing sounds and a little mummer. It must be Aiden trying to sooth the little thing.

"I'm in the living room" I call out to him. He appears with both pups in his arms, I take a moment to take in the glorious sight of father and pups, the image made my heart swell. How can a girl be so lucky. I had it all, a loving husband who always carried fire with him and two lovely little pups who made my world, my family.

"Come, lets go say hie to mommy" he says to the pups. Raven was chattering like she could understand and making conversation with her father, while Rafe was just there in Aiden's arms looking indifferent. I bet he is going to be the arrogant type, my baby boy so arrogant and indifferent.

"tell me wife mine, what is it that makes you so amused." Aiden says as he got closer to give me a peck on the mouth and placing both cheeks of the pups for me to kiss. I make room for them on the couch I was sitting on. "No nothing," I sigh "I was just thinking how different our pups are. And that I think of Rafe as some arrogant CEO or something."

Aiden chuckles at this, "I'm very sure he is going to be a bossy one. Even the way he looks at me when I let Raven have her way" he shakes his head, " but Raven is not going to have it, now are you witto Waven" Little Raven certainly likes it when she is called like that, because then she gives a wide smile displaying her two new growing teeth.

Them teething meant that I started to hate feeding time. Every time I would try to nurse them they would try to bite on my nipple as hard as they can, well mostly Raven. She was a silly joker this one, she would always give me her cute little laugh when she did it, while Rafe would just look as if he is shocked he did that.

"Darling, the beta's wife was by today," I say to Aiden after settling in and now feeding my babies. I tell him about that baby shower they were planning on throwing for us. "Its about time they did that, I was starting to question my beta stride" Aiden comments. I tell him what they thought, about having to wait for the pups to grow to a manageable state.

Aiden laughs at this "They should have known that pups get more reckless as they grow and need extra attention then." I couldn't help but be proud of my husband, he was really a devoted dad, he always made sure that the pups didn't strain me too much, even if it meant him being the one being strained. This was love. I did not need him to tell me he loves me all the time, though he barely said it, the little actions were what really mattered. The show of love than the talk of love was what did it for me.
