Duncan knew that sleeping beside Julie was not a good idea, especially with the kids around. Nicole had this curious nature that was constantly asking questions, and Claude's perspective with the things around him.
His kids-to-be were intelligent. So it was no wonder some immortals want to get their hands on them. If Fujin's presence was any indication, the process of turning them into a full immortal was so slow for him.
He remained unmoving. Savoring the rare moments with the woman he had claimed his. She was still sleeping and he did not want to leave her side.
The way her hand was resting on his collarbone was something that Duncan knew was rare. He was a light sleeper, and he was amazed at how Julie never moved while sleeping.
He looked at her, her mouth was slightly open and there was a faint sign of drool on her lip. Duncan carefully wiped it and pulled her closer to his embrace. Julie's response was to rub her nose against his chest like a cat.
