Chapter 186 - The Alpha's Curvy Cinderella

Third Person POV

She looked like a goddess. He slowly clambered off her and then offered her a hand, helping her to sit up. She smoothed her hair and her clothes, looking hurriedly towards the boys and then relaxing as she saw they were still playing. Rohan's mouth curved into a smile as he looked over at them both. He was protective of the boys and loved them fiercely. He was also an indulgent father and tended to spoil them rotten. He was an excellent father thought Josie gratefully and a fantastic husband. She was extremely blessed and she thought about that every day and never took it for granted.

"They grow up so fast," Rohan said a little mournfully "don't they? At this rate, they'll be teenagers before we know it."

Josie giggled "Rohan they're three years old, they're hardly going to be eighteen in a few days. Are you telling me you're already feeling like they're adults?"

He looked sheepish "it's just that they're already toilet trained, they're becoming independent, they like to play but they don't need me as much" he complained. "They aren't babies anymore," he said mournfully.

"Honey, they can't stay babies forever."

"I know" Rohan sighed "but they were cute weren't they? So adorable and so helpless. I guess I miss giving bottles and changing diapers, as weird as that sounds. I like this part too," he said hastily "they love spending time with me and playing, but it's not the same" he said a little forlorn.

Josie just shook her head at him. He laughed "I'm being a miser aren't I?"

"A little bit" she allowed with a small smile.

She had a secret that she needed to tell him and she had a feeling it was going to perk him right up. But she wanted to tell him along with the boys. She could feel the small gift she had for him in her pocket and she smiled mysteriously as Rohan looked at her a little puzzled. The boys came running over squealing at the top of their lungs, causing their parents to put their hands over their ears and laugh. "Alright, alright" Rohan joked "what do you want?"

"Can we have icecream?" Blaze asked eagerly.

Rohan opened his mouth to refuse but Josie cut in "actually I have something to tell everyone and ice cream sounds like the perfect way to celebrate afterwards."

The boys looked excited. Rohan looked confused. Josie grinned.

"Okay" Rohan said slowly as the boys fell to the ground and sat cross legged staring at their mother expectantly "this is the first I'm hearing of it. What's the surprise?" he asked.

"Well" Josie said beaming "it looks like I'm going to be needing a little help for the next four months or so boys but at the end the reward is going to be worth it."

Bewilderment as Rohan and the boys shot each other a glance. Josie slowly withdrew something from her pocket and handed it to her husband with a smile "I think that maybe you'll have somebody who needs your help again with bottles and diapers" she teased as her husband looked down at the pregnancy test in shock.

"Is...is...this?" he spluttered, brandishing the test in his hand with excitement while the boys continued to look confused.

"It is" Josie confirmed as her husband whooped out loud "we're pregnant. Boy's your going to have a sibling. A brother or sister" she told them and their faces lit up.

"Or twins" Rohan said and Josie groaned.

"I hope not as much as I love you two" she told the twins with a laugh "I think two sets of you might be a little too much for mummy to handle."

"We'll help you mummy" Jordan said seriously.

"Yeah" Blaze said enthusiastically, as his father grabbed Josie and planted a huge kiss on her lips "I want a sister" he said with a fist pump.

"We'll see, mummy doesn't get to choose" Josie said shaking her head and laughing, "now how about we go and get that ice cream to celebrate?"

The boys cheered loudly. Rohan got up and helped Josie to her feet. As the boys raced ahead, their eyes fixed firmly on the pack house and no doubt the kitchen, Rohan held Josie's hand, squeezing it.

"I could never imagine having a life this fulfilling with my mate, before I met you" he breathed.

"Neither could I" Josie whispered, her eyes rising to meet her husbands "but there is nothing I would change and there is nothing that I need. You, the boys, and now this child is more than I could have ever hoped to dream of. I love you Rohan, and I always will. You have brought me the life I have always wanted" she told him sincerely.

He closed his eyes and then opened them, overcome with emotion. "You have brought love into my life and showed me a life worth living. I couldn't dream of a life better than I have already. You've given me two sons and another child on the way. I have a gorgeous mate by my side who supports me and loves me. What man could ask for more?" he told her in a choked voice "I will love you until the end of time, my darling and I will never leave your side."

They walked inside the pack house hand in hand, both of them fighting back tears, to find the boys had already pulled the ice cream out of the freezer and were opening it between themselves. They laughed and Rohan grabbed the spoons while Josie grabbed the bowls. It might not seem glamorous, it might not seem overly exciting, but this was her life and Josie was loving every minute of it. There was nothing she would change and nothing she wanted or missed. She sat at the table and counted her blessings, leaning against her husband and enjoying the time with her family.
