Several months went by and it was the twins' birthday. They were turning eight. Derek wanted to throw them a royal party since it was their first birthday in Mallory. He wanted to introduce them to the people as the crown Prince.
Dorian and I arrived two months earlier for the preparations. The kids would often spend some time with us in the Dark Flame Pack before returning to Mallory.
This time we decided to stay with them till their birthday is due, and the date is two days away. Everyone was happy to be a part of the kids' big day.
I wasn't of much help as I sat on a throne-like chair. I watched everyone prepare for D-day.
"Are you okay?" Dorian asked for the hundredth time that day.
He's been asking the same question at a five-minute interval since the break of dawn. He placed his hand on my big belly and made an invisible circle as he spoke.
"I'm fine," I replied with a smile.
"Are you sure?" He looked into my eyes for any sign of discomfort.
