Kate POV
I awake in the arms of Erick. He is sleeping so soundly. I cannot remember the last time he was actually sleeping when I woke up. He must be at peace for the moment. Austin is home, Cassie is here not exactly willingly, but she is here. The house is complete and operating.
The pack has been pretty quiet. Several of the she-wolves have been by the house with food for us and gifts for the upcoming baby. Things feel normal, and it is terrifying.
I roll over to Erick. I kiss his lips softly and let my fingers run through the scruff of his bread. He smiles and opens his eyes.
"Goodmorning," I say to him. It takes him a moment to become completely awake.
"Goodmorning, Kate," Erick says.
Erick moves closer to me, holding me tightly. His hand makes its way to my baby bump. He rubs my belly, and our baby begins to move about inside me.
"He is awake," Erick says.
"Or her," I say.
"Or her. I do not care as long as our baby is happy," Erick says.
