So much had happened lately, so many changes in our world that we needed to adjust to. Riviana had given birth to her newest baby, Reeselynn, and that had changed a lot of things in my own life. I was once again needing to help her in an altered manner than I used to.
There was more as well. My beautiful wife, Heather, had talked about wanting another baby. And well, our youngest had graduated with Reagan and Rika last year. They were out in the world on their own, off to college at a different university and doing things that they wanted. Our oldest, Conner, was even married with a daughter of his own.
I will admit, seeing little Reeselynn, my little granddaughter Hope, and hearing Heather talking about wanting another baby, I was starting to miss that time in my life. I wouldn’t mind having another baby. I know that I had told Heather that we could start working on it a couple months ago, but nothing had happened yet. Not that we were too old or anything.
Yes, we were in our forties and all that, but we were still very young. And we were immortal now, so that wasn’t a worry either.
I was starting to think that it would be best to maybe focus on this topic. And if I was going to do this, then I wanted to do it right. I had a weekend off coming up, and I thought that this would be the perfect time to plan out something special for my wife. She wouldn’t see it coming either. I would take care of everything for her. She just needed to enjoy the night, all of it.
Three days later, things were planned and ready for the surprise. I woke up early and made breakfast for Heather, but this wasn’t unusual. I was used to getting up early, so I tended to do this a lot. I made her cinnamon de leche pancakes, bacon, ham, sausage, sunny side up eggs, and cut some fruit into some cute shapes for her.
When it was all done, I prepared a cappuccino for her, a glass of orange juice, and some flowers that I had bought the night before. It was put onto a tray and taken to her in the bedroom for her to enjoy. Not wanting her to eat alone, I carried a tray for myself as well. We were going to enjoy breakfast in bed together.
“What’s this?” She asked when I came into the room and put the tray over her on the bed.
“I wanted to do something special for you.” I smiled calmly and did my best to hide that I was up to something.
“Well, this is definitely special.” She beamed at the food on her plate. “This looks amazing, Vincent. You have always been such a good cook. And you do so much for me like this.” She leaned over and pressed her lips to mine. The kiss was short and sweet, and just a prelude to the night that she knew nothing about yet.
“I love you, sweetheart, of course I am going to do things for you. Now come on, let’s eat before it all gets cold.” She beamed at me and started to eat the food with vigor. As soon as the first bite was in her mouth she groaned in satisfaction.
“Hmmm! This is so good. You’re like a wizard when it comes to cooking.”
“Ha ha ha ha.” I laughed at her. “Wizards aren’t real. Well, they are called warlocks if that is what you are getting at, but nothing called a wizard in this world.”
“There is, and it’s you. Vincent, the cooking wizard.”
“I’ll take it.” I laughed as I popped a blueberry into my mouth. “Anyway, I have another surprise for you.” I was grinning, but I hoped that I wasn’t giving too much away.
“Another?” She beamed at me. “Honey, this is already too much.” She shook her head at me. “I don’t need anything else.”
“Come on, I wanted to do this for you.” I pulled an envelope out of my pocket and passed it to her. “Here, take a look.”
“O…K…” She dragged the two letters out like she was starting to suspect that there was something else going on. “What is this?”
“Open it and see.” I chuckled a little.
She stopped asking so many questions for a moment, looking down at the envelope in her hand warily. She wasn’t scared of it, that wasn’t what was happening here. Instead, I knew that she was trying to see what I was up to.
She tore open the envelope and peered at the papers that were inside. I watched her eyes go wide with shock and happiness then narrow as she thought about what this might mean.
“You have to work, don’t you?” She asked me with a little bit of sadness in her voice. She knew that a lot of my weekends off lately had been cancelled because of the Jaegan and then the DOE. It had been a long time since I had a full weekend off.
“You have to work this weekend, and this is your way of placating me.” She went on. She wasn’t mad at me, I knew that, but she did look a little disappointed.
“I am sorry, sweetheart. I wanted to do something special for you.” I made sure not to admit to having to work. I mean, I was a God of truth, lying wasn’t really something that I could do. If I didn’t say that I was working, then it wasn’t a lie. Problem solved.
“It’s alright. I know that you have an important position. You are Riviana’s Beta after all. I just wish that we had a little more time together. I miss you sometimes, Vincent.” Now she looked a little sad, and I felt bad for making her think that I was working today. I didn’t want her to be upset with me.
“We will have time together soon, Heather, I promise.” This was not a lie. We would be together when she got back this evening. And, hopefully, I would be able to make her happy with the rest of my surprise for her.
We finished our meal as we talked. She was starting to get excited for the gift that I had given her. It was an all expenses covered trip to the spa at the Goddess Well Resort. It was one of the nicest places around, and they would take care of her every need. She had an open account to handle everything that she needed or wanted to get done. The gift certificate actually said that it was unlimited.
She would be there for a long time, but they would end her appointment by five in the evening, that way she can be home for dinner.
Once we finished the meal, I got ready to leave. She needed to think that I was going to work, and I had some things to do. If I was going to pull this off, then I needed to head to the grocery store for some much needed supplies.

Heather

I love Vincent. And I love Riviana too. She is like a sister to me. My kids grew up calling her Aunt Riviana. We are all so very close. It’s just, sometimes, I wish that Vincent could be more mine than hers.
Yes, he is her Beta, and he has a lot of responsibility in the pack and the kingdom. There is little reason for me to complain about anything, but I still miss all the time that I used to have with my husband.
I thought that this weekend, I would be able to spend some alone time with him. I mean, I wanted to start trying for another baby. And well, part of this might be a little selfish on my part. I was often lonely at home while he was working. If I had another baby, then I wouldn’t be lonely anymore.
