“It’s okay, Babygirl. Lay back and get comfortable and I’ll hand you baby boy. I’ll explain everything that happened while you were sleeping.” Derek gently k!ssed my l!ps, and if I didn’t have a crying baby or my boobs leaking, I would have deepened that k!ss.
I leaned back on the bed, stacking up the pillows so I sat up and could lean back. I used a few of them to prop my arm up so I wouldn’t have to hold my arm up the whole time was feeding him.
Derek passed him to me and I cradled him in front of one of my ns and he instantly took to it. I could see that he latched properly, but it didn’t stop the pain. I winced and scrunched up my nose.
“Babygirl, what’s wrong?” Derek asked me, concerned, snuggled in beside me now.
“It just hurts to start, but it will subside here soon,” I told him.
“Is that normal?” He asked me and I shrugged. I’ve never done this before. Once the pain had subsided, I was able to focus again. I asked him where Mason was again. Derek leaned down and k!ssed his son’s head before he explained.
“After we found Tundra, Aurora and our son. We left to get you. Everyone volunteered to come with us and that’s where we were heading when Brandon mindlinked Mason to come back.” He explained.
“So what took you guys so long? Where is Mason now?” I asked him. I was growing impatient now.
Something might have happened to Mason, and I was worried.
“They ambushed us when we stopped to discuss what to do. Matt and I were in the sky, so Thor let out a howl and then we flew down. Mason told us you were back at the camp and we agreed to head back. Some vampires and rogues came out from the surrounding trees.” He told me and my heart rate picked up. I knew he was alive, but was he hurt?
“Did Mason get hurt?” I rushed out. I could feel the tears falling down my cheeks.
“What? No, babygirl. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. No, Mason is fine. None of our men got hurt.” He explained, k!ssing my temple. I let out a breath and tried to slow down my pounding heart.
“Then where is he?” I breathed out.
“He’s just making a few calls and getting the vampires that we rescued organized.” He told me and I turned my head to look at him.
“What?” l asked him, confused.
“Now, I’ll finish explaining, since you know Mason is safe.” He chuckled, and I pushed my l!ps into a line.
“Mason and I killed the vampires that were in charge of the so-called ambush. All the others surrendered, and we have been going through everyone. Almost all the vampires had families that were taken and forced to fight. As for the rogues, we are still going through their stories and reasons,” he explained.
“You helped them?” I asked him, and he nodded.
“It’s what you would have wanted.” He told me before k!ssing my cheek.
“Thank you.” I breathed out. We haven’t been at war in over 100 years, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t prejudice in our kingdoms. We needed to be an example if we were going to bring the kingdoms together.
Baby boy had finished nursing and was back sleeping. I moved him to my chest and leaned back on the pillows. I rubbed his back while Derek rested his head on my shoulder, watching his boy.
“Have you thought of any names?” He asked me.
“I haven’t. Have you two given him a name?” I asked him.
“No, we were waiting for you. How did you do all that by yourself?” He asked him and I sighed.
“Because I needed to. I needed you both to have him if I didn’t make it back.” I explained.
“Babygirl, we need you. And our son needs you. We need to do this together. You are not alone. Mason had to order some of his men to stay behind to protect the camp. All of them wanted to storm the pack house and rescue you.” Derek told me, and it brought tears to my eyes. I didn’t realize I had made such an impact on people’s lives.
“So, what’s the plan now?” l asked him with a yawn.
“Now, we are going to take you home. We are going to leave some warriors here to finish everything up, but we need to get you and our son checked out. You have put your body through so much.” He said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders, and I snuggled into his chest.
“But what about Susan and Grace?” I asked him. The guilt for what they did to Donny and Brad returned.
“They will no longer be an issue. We have taken most of their men. And Gamma Ben told us you killed the witch that they were working with. Sage explained that any spells she had cast would have vanished with her.”
He explained, and I nodded into his chest.
I felt responsible for not having the ability to kill them when I had the chance I knew my Uncle was right.
I was in no condition to kill them, but what if they killed more people? Their deaths will be on me for not stepping up. Again.
“Babygil, it’s not your fault. You have two mates who love you with everything, a beautiful son, and you have people who love you unconditionally. You don’t have to do this alone. We will find them and we will kill them.” Derek said, leaning down and k!ssing my head.
“Everything will work out, Babygirl.” He whispered, and I nodded on his chest. I closed my eyes and reached out to Mason.
“Mason, where are you?”
“Baby, you’re awake.”
“I need to see you. Where are you?”
“I’ll be right there, Baby.” I closed the link and waited.
“Do you have any ideas about what we should name him?” I asked Derek.
“I don’t know, I haven’t really had time to think about it” he said. And I knew how he felt. But we can’t just keep calling him baby boy.
Mason finally entered the tent and I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding in. His face lit up when he saw me, and my heart fluttered. I missed him so much. He kicked his boots off and snuggled into the other side of me on the bed.
“Baby, I’ve missed you so much.” He whispered before he crushed his l!ps to mine. Mason pulled away. resting his forehead on mine.
“I missed you,” I whispered to him.
“Our son is beautiful.” He leaned down and k!ssed his little head. He snuggled into me, resting his head on my shoulder. I immediately felt better. Having all of our scents mixed. This felt like home, and I never wanted to be apart from any of them again.
“Have you named him Baby?” Mason asked me and I sighed.
“No, but I think we all should. We can’t be calling him baby boy for the rest of his life.” I told them.
“What about James?” Mason suggested.
“After my dad?” I asked him, and he nodded.
“And you would both be okay with that? Derek, you never met my dad.” I asked them.
“He did a wonderful job raising you. I would be honoured to have our son named after the man that raised you.” Derek said, k!ssing my temple.
“Poor little guy is going to have three last names.” I giggled.
“James Knight Landon Blake,” Mason said.
“love it.” Derek said while leaning down and k!ssing James’ head.
“What do you think, Baby?” Mason asked me and I didn’t realize I was crying until Mason k!ssed away a tear on my cheek.
“I love it. And I love you both so much.” I breathed out. They both snuggled into me.
“I’m glad Gamma Ben could convince you to come back,” Mason said. And I sighed.
“I couldn’t let the only blood I have left risk his life.
He wouldn’t leave without me and I wouldn’t leave without him. So I’m here because he came with me.” I told them the truth. If it wasn’t for uncle Ben being there, I wouldn’t be here right now.
“I know, Baby. Gamma Ben told us everything,” Mason said. And l just noticed that he called him Gamma.
“Gamma Ben?” I asked him, confused.
“He’s one of my father’s gammas. He helped train Brandon, Liam and 1. But I never knew that he was related to you or your father.” Mason explained.
“I wonder why Arthur never mentioned it to me before. I didn’t even know that he was my actual uncle.”
