*Cameron*

"Is everything okay with you Cam?"

I snap out of the daze I keep falling into for the past couple of days. Looking to Tristan I see his boyish face scrunched up with concern. He held a comfort set for the crib as we shopped at one of the cutest little stores I have ever been in full of baby products. He was really starting to show and soon it won't be long before the little one joins the family.

I give him a smile. "Of course, just tired I guess from doing double shifts lately."

"You shouldn't work so hard. You'll burn yourself out and then I won't have any help when this child of mine comes." He puts the set back on the shelf and grabs the next one to it.

"That'll never happen. Even if I was lying in a hospital bed with every bone in my body broken I'll still be there to help you and the baby." I grab the one he put back and stared at the little images of baby animals.

"Let's hope that never happens. Thanks for coming with me. Axel was supposed to be here doing this, but he had an emergency at the mansion. Lincoln seemed stressed lately, like a lot stressed and he wanted to make sure he wasn't handling everything on his own."

"He needs to have time for you and the baby too though. You need him to be there just as much if not more, Tris. Pretty soon you're going to need all the help you can get." I put it back noticing he seemed to be favoring the moon and star sets.

"He knows that which is why he's trying to balance the two, but I think he feels like he owes it too Lincoln after finding out they're fully related by blood and abandoning him while growing up. He's trying to make up for lost time I guess." He shrugs but I could tell he was a little down that Axel wasn't spending as much time with him as they hoped now that Han Nolan was no longer a threat.

But there was still a lot of baggage left behind that needed to be picked up and gone through. Tristan was giving him the time to do that and not complain but that didn't mean he didn't feel left out by becoming second choice in the matter. Hopefully with the baby's arrival that will all change for the better. I've only met Lincoln a few times and he seemed to be a little intimidating for comfort if I'm honest. But he wasn't such a bad guy as everyone thought him to be. Which was shocking to all of us.

We look around a little more picking a few items to buy before heading to a café nearby. Tristan's cravings have shifted dramatically from ice cream and pickles to cheese Danishes and mango raspberry iced tea. At least this time around it was something normal.

After eating our treats his phone starts ringing. I immediately knew it was Axel from the giant grin on his face as he quickly picks up.

"Hey my love." He says sweetly that makes me sick yet envious as well.

To have someone as devoted to you as Axel is to Tristan is something I've always wanted for myself. To rub salt in the wound they were mates that have already bonded and been marked, a thing that is so rare it's a miracle that it ever happens to anyone let alone someone like you. The tattoo like image on the back of their necks was so visible now. It just got darker as their devotion and love for one another became stronger and more fierce. There was no doubt for either of them that they truly loved each other with their whole hearts.

And that was everything anyone would want.

I silently drink my caramel frap as he talks to him, enjoying the outdoors as we sat out on the patio with the breeze gently hitting us under the giant umbrella that was providing shade.

"Okay, we'll wait for you here at Bunny's Café. Yeah, we just finished. Nope I'm done for today and Cam needs to head to the orphanage anyways." He smiles again before saying his goodbyes.

"Axel is heading over right now. He said he just got back and saw I wasn't home." He explains.

I smile at him. "At least he got half the day with you."

"Yeah. I think I'll convince him to take me to look at cribs. We still haven't gotten one and its getting closer to my due date. I want to be sure everything is prepared before the baby comes." He frowns picking at the little crumbs that were still on his plate.

"There's no convincing needing to be done. He'll take you as soon as you ask him too, you know he will. He's so wrapped around your finger it's a wonder it hasn't snapped off." I tease making him blush so red he looked like a ripe tomato.

"I'm not trying to make him submit to me or anything. It's just how he is naturally." He mumbles, looking adorable and embarrassed that anyone could want to treat him as how he should be and is being treated, a complete and utter spoiled prince.

I couldn't help laughing at his reaction. "It's not a bad thing, Tris. Especially for someone like you. You deserve the world, and he knows it. I'm highly positive he doesn't mind. In fact, he loves being wrapped around you in every way possible." I couldn't help winking teasing him even more getting him even redder and shrinking in his chair looking around in panic.

"Cameron!" he hisses but doesn't seem all that upset as he couldn't stop the smile spreading on his face.

Just then a car pulls up on the curb right in front of us. It was like watching a romance drama movie as Axel exits the vehicle looking hot as hell with his clean cut hair style, his Armani suit that fit his body to perfection and his stupidly good looks that makes your mouth drop open and drool falling out without you even aware of it. He was tall, nicely built with broad shoulders with perfect smooth skin.

Thank God he was bonded and marked.

His Alpha pheromones alone were no joke, but I get why every Omega wants him so badly. He was a catch, and my best friend was the one who torn down that hard wall he had built to keep everyone out. I watch as people passing by and those around and in the café stare at him as he walks up the sidewalk looking like he was God's gift on earth. He wasn't looking at anyone else other than Tristan who stared at him in return with a huge lovesick grin on his face.

Ugh I can't stand the two of them.

Rolling my eyes I stand up just as he bends down and kisses Tristan like there is no tomorrow in front of all these people. The freedom to act like that must be really nice. Not caring or giving a fuck who sees you be happy must feel amazing. My exes weren't usually affectionate outside of sex even when we were in private. If we weren't naked then we weren't handsy feely like these two. Watching them makes me realize that maybe my past relationships weren't so great and maybe it wasn't me that they really wanted, just what I could give them to make them feel really good.

I wanted what Tristan has with Axel.

The image of Sia pops in my mind and I couldn't help wondering what he would be like in a relationship, a real relationship. He was already proving to be everything he wasn't what I thought he would be. Would he prove me wrong in that aspect too? The last night we spent together was one very confusing one. And yet I've come to love that night more than any other we've had together so far. The fact that he was completely okay with us cuddling threw me in the best ways possible.

Once Axel allowed to give Tristan some air I needed to hurry up and get going so the two of them could spend the rest of their time together. "I'm going to get going now that your baby daddy is here."

I grab my keys off the table. Axel stood up straighter and finally looks over to me. "You don't have to leave just because I'm here."

"It's fine really. You guys need as much time together as you can before little bean is born. Besides, I'm due at the orphanage in an hour anyways and it's a forty minute drive to get there." I said truthfully.

Tristan stands up to give me a hug as he states, "Drive safe and call me as soon as you get there so I know you made it."

As if to make his point little bean wiggles erratically, while kicking me in the gut in the process enforcing their presence to be known. We both laugh as we pull apart looking down to his swollen stomach that was practically covered in the big sweater he was wearing.

Rubbing his belly, he says, "See, even little bean is telling you to be safe. You're their Godfather so you need to be careful wherever you go."

I reach over and rub it as well. "I promise to be safe." I say to godchild and then wave them both goodbye.
