What the hell do kids talk about?
I smiled slightly, ruffling his hair. In his Batman pyjamas, he looked super cute.
“It takes a lot more than a kiss to make a baby, and before you ask what that means, it means there’s a certain time of the… moon cycle that is also needed to make a baby.” I took a bit of nachos, this actually tasted pretty good, although I felt like I had no appetite. I realised we hadn’t eaten since the McDonald’s we caught earlier.
A frown creased his cute little face as he pondered over what I had just said. I put on a cartoon just when I heard footsteps and her scent reaching my nose. I turned, spotting her running her fingers through her hair, my breath caught in my throat, She was wearing a workout shirt of mine that was hanging off her, and a pair of my boxers that left her sexy legs on display.
Well fuck… There was just something about her in my clothes that was a total turn-on…
She looked up, smirking as she leaned over the back of the sofa, kissing my lips
‘Like what you see?’ She taunted seductively, pulling away and planting a big kiss on Corrado’s head.
‘Oh absolutely! I replied, caressing her thigh as she walked past and took a seat on the other side of Corrado and wrapping her arm around him.
“So, what am I missing? What are you father and son chatting about?”
“Oh, how babies are made. Daddy told me all about it.” Corrado said seriously, making her eyes widen into saucers. Damn, she had big eyes…
I smirked slightly. Despite the pain that lingered in my chest, these two were taking the edge off, making it a little more bearable.
“Shocked?” I mocked her, as she turned her attention back to Corrado.
“Did he now? What did he say?” She asked.
“He told me about the moon cycle, and that only at a certain time can you make babies.” He repeated, well at least he was damn smart and paid attention.
Azura laughed, giving him a squeeze. “Yup, the monthly cycle really means a lot.”
“So it’s special like the Blood Moon…”
“Yeah, it definitely consists of red…” I smirked, earning myself a look from Azura.
Corrado nodded, “Oh we are never told this at school. Oh, dear. So how many sisters and brothers will we have? Because if there’s lots and lots, we need a big house! I help you take care of them, ok?”
“Awe of course! But I don’t know, I think just the two of you might be enough?” She said, looking at me. “Unless your dad wants many more.”
I wrapped my arm around her, placing the Nachos in my lap and fed her a piece. “Not sure, but two sounds good enough. By the way, these don’t taste half bad.”
She bit into it, and I was very aware of the big pair of eyes watching us from the middle. She took it, her lips brushing my fingers, and smoothly licked the salsa from my fingers. Yeah, I think this just became my favourite meal right after her… She moved back, her heart pounding as Corrado clapped his hand.
“Wait, we need to find more Winnie’s then! To help with more babies… Do you think Jackie will want to help take care of our babies?”
My heart clenched as I looked at Azura, and she reached over, running her fingers through my hair. I’ll let her handle this one…
“Jackie has gone to the Moon Goddess baby.” She whispered, lifting him into her lap.
He looked confused as he stared between us before his smile vanished and he buried his head into her shoulder. She stroked his back and head, her own eyes full of tears that she refused to let fall.
Silence followed as we sat there. She soothed our son, as I wrapped my arm around her tightly too, before she slowly made light conversation about the cartoon that was playing.
Slowly he began speaking, but he was quieter, and when we headed to our bed, Corrado was the first to jump onto the bed, Azura got on next, wrapping her arms around him, and I slipped in on his other side, slipping my arm under her neck, placing my arm over them both.
Then he mentioned her.
“Is Jackie happy with the Moon Goddess?”
“Yes, she is. She’s on the moon now.” Azura whispered, both gazing out of the window…
I watched them, wanting to protect them forever. This was my family…
I know if they weren’t here tonight, I wouldn’t have been able to handle the pain that was crippling me inside…
***
That night the nightmares of my past had returned in full force and each time Azura had woken up too, I knew she had seen them too and I wished there was a way to block her from suffering through my nightmares too. In the end, I didn’t sleep, simply laying there awake, wanting her to get her rest.
It was now two days later, and the funeral had just taken place. I was the one who had delivered a short speech, with neither Kareena being able to nor anyone for Jackie either. Nikki didn’t even offer to.
The burial had taken place and most of the pack had dispersed. Dad, Raj, Kesha, Eric, Nikki and the five and their mates were still here. Kareena sat on her knees before Shane’s body, crying her heart out. I walked over to her, crouching down and placing a hand on her back.
It wasn’t the first time I was talking to her since his death, but it didn’t get any easier.
“I’m truly sorry,” I said quietly, giving her shoulder a comforting squeeze.
She looked up at me, an image of someone who was truly devastated. She would die unless she moved on… A witch could break the bond, but it wouldn’t fully take away the pain unless she took a chosen mate.
I just hoped she was able to stay strong enough to move on… but deep down, I wasn’t sure if she was strong enough to live without him…
Sera wrapped her arms around her, hugging her tightly and I stood up.
Gazing down at the graves, a soft wind blew, and I realised they truly were gone…
Azura stepped forward, her presence beside me was comforting.
She looked up at me and said, “Gone but not forgotten.”
