“Wow, what was it, warp delivery.” I laughed at him. “It’s only been a couple minutes right.
“No, you’ve been sitting there like a zombie for almost an hour. Same delivery time as usual.”
“What?” I was shocked to hear his words. “You’re joking right?”
“I’m afraid not. But I wish we could have gotten warp delivery, that shit would be awesome.”
“Stop joking around. You ordered those before we went to Dietrich’s room, right?”
“No, I didn’t. I didn’t order them until after I carried you back here.”
“You carried me?” That was news to me.
“Well, you weren’t cooperating very much with the whole walking thing, so I had no choice.”
“Well, what do you expect, Odie? I’ve kind of had my fucking mind blown today, in several ways really. But only one thing has rendered me speechless and nearly catatonic.”
“Is the idea of having babies with me that bad?” His mood dropped and a sheet of depression settled onto his face, the light in his eye diminished and his features were dark and brooding.
“Where the hell did you get that idea, Fido? Seriously, what’s the matter with you? I’m overjoyed.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really. I was so upset when we lost our jelly bean before. I still miss that little glow of life that was inside me and I’m reluctant to feel that same joy just yet but I can’t help myself. I am so happy and excited at the thought of us becoming a family.” I had grabbed his left hand in mine, the one not holding the boxes at the moment, and cradled it to my chest.
“You have no idea how happy that makes me.” His smile was back and the light was returning to his eyes. “I love you Little Bunny, more than life itself. And I will love any part of you I get to have in my life, these babies and any more we might have.”
“Slow your roll there, Benji. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I need to see how this pregnancy thing goes before I even decide to let you touch me again.”
“So I better get all the touching that I can in before you have them.” He grinned mischievously.
“You’re a perv.” I laughed at him.
“But you love me anyway.”
“For reasons even I don’t know sometimes. But you’re sexy as hell, so it’s an even trade off.”
“Uhh!” Joaquin fake scoffed in a high pitched voice. “You only want me for my body, you monster.”
“Not just your body.” I laughed as I jumped to my feet.
“Really?” He smiled happily as I came closer, he even leaned down anticipating a kiss.
“That’s right, I also want your pizza.” I chuckled as I stole the boxes from his hand and twisted out of his way to head to the table.
“You’re so mean.” He pouted before turning to follow me.
“But you love me anyway.” I used his words from before as I set the boxes on the table.? “You know it.” He kissed the top of my head.
We ate our dinner in the room together, talking the whole time. We talked about the battle. We walked about Shawn’s condition and Dietrich’s revelation. And we talked about the future.
We talked about how it was going to be when the babies were born and how happy we would all be together. We talked about how Nikki’s baby was due in just a month and our babies would be less than six months apart in age, they would grow up together and could play together.
We talked about the things that could go wrong, and what we would do to prevent them. We talked about how happy our families were going to be then they heard the news. We talked about how we wanted to tell everyone.
But, we decided that we didn’t want to tell anyone until after the group funeral. We wanted to have a big celebration after the funeral to commemorate us all being alive and well. And, conveniently, Joaquin’s birthday was coming up in just over two weeks on the fourth of July. That explained his little mister independent attitude he always had when I first met him.
Our plan now was to hold a massive party for his birthday and the independence day celebration all at once. And it was there that we would let everyone know about the babies. The pack had not been fully informed last time, but there were still a lot who had known because of word of mouth. We would lift their spirits following this difficult time with joyous news for the entire pack.
Also, we had to gag the only other person who knew about the babies. But when Dietrich answered his phone and heard what we wanted, he had no problem agreeing to the secret.
“It’s not my news to share, Mein Freunde. Do not worry, your secret is safe with me, even from Shawn. I will tell no one.”
“Tell no one what?” I heard Shawn’s voice in the background.
“Liebling, you’re awake.” Dietrich’s voice was full of happiness in that moment.
“What happened, Dietrich?”
“I will tell you. I will tell you all of it, but not the Luna’s news, that you must wait for.” Dietrich giggled happily. “Excuse me, Riviana, I must go now.”
“I know Dietrich, take care of him. We will come see him in the morning.”
“Yes, yes.” He agreed as he rushed to get off the phone. “Goodnight.”
