Rainbows Ever After (Rainbows 1.50)

“I wasn’t trying to—”

He put his finger to my lips, and I glared at him. “No more waiting … it’s happening this spring.”

“Fine.”

He eyed me carefully, so I lifted my hand like a boy scout … or something. “Wedding in the spring, for sure. I swear.”

Wrapping his arm around me tighter, I rested against him again, holding him just as tightly.

“You know, with a name like Ulric Pierre-Oidhche Black, he’s going to be end up a rock star or something?”

“We’re never going to be cool again, are we?” I asked, and he just nodded, making the both of us laugh.

He kissed the top of my head. “I’ll be right back.”

Nodding I let go reluctantly as he headed towards the bathroom. Leaving me to smile over Ulric, I murmured softly, placing my finger under his hand. It took only a second for him to grip on.

“I hope you like baseball,” I whispered down at him. “If not, just bear with it until we can break it to your father.”

“Excuse me.”

I glanced up as the new night nurse came in, her old wrinkled arms cradling Ulric’s chart. Quietly, she walked over. “Good evening, how are you? I’m Kelly-Ann. How are you feeling?

I grinned. “Giddy.”

“As you should be,” she replied taking out a baby thermometer and placing it on his forehead.

Being the person I was, I leaned over basically hovering over her shoulder to see.

“Perfect.” She nodded, and I relaxed. “With the weather like this, make sure to check his temperature every so often.”

“Is everything okay?”

I turned to Levi as he came out of the bathroom, I could tell he’d taken time to wash his face and fix his crazy bed hair. I would have teased him if his green eyes weren’t filled with worried as he looked directly at Ulric.

“He’s perfect,” I repeated the nurse’s words and he relaxed, coming over to me. I added, “she was just saying that we need to pay attention to his temperature, seeing as he’s a Blizzard Baby now.”

“Ahh,” he whispered, placing his hand on Ulric’s head.

When I looked back to the nurse, she briefly gave Levi a strange look, before she spoke again.

Levi glanced at me, but didn’t say anything. We both knew that look. The ‘oh…he’s the father’ look but we were just too happy to care.

PREGNANCY: MONTH 4

LEVI

She barged into my office, arms folded under her now-bigger breasts, and on top of her small, but now noticeable, bump. Her dark brown hair curled into a wave stopping right beside her breasts…which were far too distracting for their own good. She was stunning. Pissed. But stunning.

“We’ll talk about this whenever you aren’t about to die,” Tristan muttered under his breath, rising from the chair on the opposite side of my desk. He quickly gathered up the case files in front of him, and nodded to Thea as he left. “You’re glowing today, Thea.”

“Thank you, but don’t compliment me right now. I want to stay angry,” she said, never looking away from me, her brown eyes ready to fire daggers.

Tristan gave me the sign of the cross behind her back, and if she weren’t there, I would have flipped him off.

“Thea—”

“Did you give me the Gibbs case because I’m now a human incubator?” she snapped, before I could even get a word out.
