Tony had called his mom telling her they were gonna need the house for a few more days since Clay's heat was arriving. She told him that was perfectly fine. She just said to call her when it's okay to head back.

Those five days were pure heaven for the couple. They had had sex the whole time in all kinds of positions. If Clay wasn't pregnant by now, Tony would be shocked. They would go at it then cuddle till Tony's knot went down. They would joke around for a bit and then go at it again. It was an endless cycle.

Finally Clay's heat was over. They showered and Clay went downstairs to clean. Tony called his mom and told her that she was clear to come home.

Clay was washing the dishes when he felt arms circle around his waist. He smiled and leaned back into his alpha's warmth.

"I'm gonna go upstairs and clean our room" Tony told him after kissing the side of Clay's head.

"I got it" Clay said as he turned around in Tony's arms. "You can go to the garage and work on your car while I clean"

Tony smiled and said, "Look at us being all domestic"

"I know. Is this how mated life is?" Clay asked.

"Probably. I don't mind it one bit though" Tony leaned up a little so he can kiss his gorgeous mate. They were then interrupted by a knock on the door. "I'll get that"

"Okay" Clay kissed him one more time before going upstairs to clean. Tony went and opened the door to see Matt Jensen.

"What are you doing here, Mr Jensen?" Tony was mad at him but his mother raised him to be polite.

"I came to see Clay" Matt said.

"Why should I let you after what happened?" Tony questioned.

"You know I was trying to reason with Lainie" Tony nodded and opened the door wider so Matt can walk in.

"Clay!" Tony called at the bottom of the staircase. He heard Clay walking and then saw him at the top of the stairs. "Someone is here for you"

Clay looked at his alpha confused as he walked down the stairs. He was then shocked to see his father. "Dad, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to apologize in person for what your mother did" Matt sincerely said.

"I would rather hear it from her, but it's okay. We can sit down" Clay lead them to the living room. Clay sat in the armchair while his dad sat on the couch. Tony stood by Clay since he wanted to protected him if something happened.

"How have you been? I miss seeing you around the house" Matt said.

"I've been great. Tony's family is really nice. I feel at home here" Clay responded.

"That's good. I see that you guys are mated" Matt noticed the mark on Clay's neck.

Clay rubbed at it shyly as Tony smiled softly at his mate. "Yeah. We mated a week ago"

"I'm glad you guys thought about it before doing it. I'm sure you two would of been fine if you mated right away. I always knew you made my son happy" Matt said directly to Tony.

"Your son makes me happy too. I wouldn't mate with anyone else in the world" Clay smiled and looked at Tony with love in his eyes. He reached out hold Tony's hand.

Matt smiled and nodded his head. "I'm happy for the both of you. I don't know what Lainie was so worried about. I knew Tony would never hurt you. I think she was scared of you leaving the pack"

For some reason Clay understood why his mother would fear that. He would be scared if his pup had presented and decided to leave.

"She could of just talked to me. I oddly enough understand the fear. I would be scared if our pup wanted to leave" Tony's heartstrings tugged at what Clay said. He was scared of the same thing.

"I see your feeling very maternal" Matt noted. Clay looked down and blushed.

"He's been like that for awhile" Tony said.

"So are you guys expecting a pup?"

"No" Clay shook his head right away. "I just finished my heat"

Matt smiled and said, "Well I'll be waiting for that call"

The front door opened and then came all the ruckus. Anthony and Jose were hitting each other with their duffle bags while Lucia yelled at them in Spanish to knock it off. They then got quiet as they saw the stranger in the living room.

"Mi hoji who's this?" Lucia asked Clay.

"Guys this is my dad" Anthony and Jose growled at Matt. They had grown protective over Clay as they got to know him. "It's fine" Clay said softly to them. "He came to apologise"

"I'm Lucia, Tony mom" she had started to introduce everyone to Matt. He shook everyone's hand and Clay was right. They gave off a family vibe that just lured you in.

"Oh my God!" Marie shouted. "Look! They mated!" Everyone looked at Clay's neck to see it was true. They shouted excited as they hugged Clay and even Matt.

"We need to throw a party to celebrate your mating" Lucia said.

"You don't have to do that" Clay denied.

"It's a Padilla traditional. We insist" Lucia said. "We'll have it tomorrow. Come on Marie help me plan in the kitchen"

Clay felt a hand on his should and he looked to see it was his father. "I have to go. Your mother is heading home right now"

"Alright" Clay hugged his father. "You can come tomorrow for the party. I'd be happy to see you"

"Of course" Matt agreed. He hugged Tony goodbye and waved bye to the family.

"That went well" Clay said after closing the front door.

"Yeah. That wasn't your mom" Tony said.

"True. Now time to help your mom plan a party in a day"
