"I don't need all these clothes!" I exclaim, staring at my friend as she adds clothes into the cart.

"One, you do, two, they are cute, and three, they fit you." I couldn't argue with her logic so I sigh and start walking towards the check out, Eeva pushing the cart behind my waddling body.

"C'mon preggers, we don't have all day. You need to look good to see the Elders." I stop at her words and turn, staring at her with wide eyes.

"You got-"

"An appointment with the Council of Elders, yes. So hurry your booty, we need shooes and make up and female care products." She says and I shake my head.

We reach the check out and I pull my debit card out, about to pay for the items.

"Put them on the same tab?" The checkout clerk asks.

"Yes Anne, thanks." The clothes are baged and I turn to Eeva as we leave.

"I could have paid!"

"I know, but you are gunna be a member of the pack soon so you get treated like one of us."

"But Eeva -"

"No buts, you are the next Luna so shut up and be good." I stare at her in disbelief before sighing and smiling at my friend.

"Fine, but lets drop the bags off at the car before we continue."

"Okay." She agrees.

We continue shopping, getting all the items I would need, the bags in the car.

"Wanna head home?" Eeva asks. I was about to answer her when something inside me moves and I smile, placing a hand over the area one of the twins had kicked.

"One minute, give me your hand." She smiles and I take her outstretched hand, placing it beside mine. This time two feet kick us and I giggle.

"Wanna start shoping for them?"

"Please." I look at my friend and we go back to shopping, heading to all the baby stores.

By the time we were done my legs were killing me and I sighed when I sat down on the soft car chair.

"Lets not 'shop till we drop' anymore." I yawn out, putting the seatbelt on and clicking it into place.

"Okay, we will just shop till we have what we need then." My friend says sarcastically and I role my eyes at her.

"Have you decided their names yet?" Eeva asks as she starts to drive towards Tate's house.

"No, not yet." I catch a glimps of her from the corner of my eye, watching her nodd.

"Well you still have a few months left so don't worry." She reassures and I smile. But my smile lasted for a few seconds before I turn my head to look out of the passneger window and sigh.

"Okay, ask it Laina." She says with curiosity and I fiddle with my hair.

"Do you think Tate will get over the fact that these aren't his pups?" I finally say after a few minutes of silence.

"Yes, he is just pissed off that you had to go through what you did." Eeva says quietly, as if reassuring herself as well as me. This was what I wanted to hear but I knew that things would be a lot harder between Tate and me.

I take out the bag that held the newest Samsung and smiled at the gold and white cell phone in my hand, turning it on, happy that the tech guy at future shop had helped me immensely.

I took out the sheet of paper and started to program phone numbers into it, startig with Chris and Jack's house and cell numbers, then Alex's.

"Eeva, whats your cell?"

"Um, I think its..." she thinks for a moment then slowly says each number and I text her, taking her phone and looking at my new number before programing it into her Samsung.

"There now we have each other." I laugh out and she looks at me with wide eyes.

"Oh darling, you make my life complete." She fake cries in joy and I get into a laughing fit.

"You know, you look younger when you laugh, I mean for a twenty year old whos is a soon to be mom you-"

"I'm not twenty." I cut her off and she looks at me shocked.

"You're not?"

"No."

"Then how old are you Laina?"

"Sixteen."

The car goes silent and her eyes are somewhat unfocused. I could tell she was mind linking some one and I had a feeling it was Tate.

"You told him didn't you." I say quietly, a little relieved.

"Yeah, I mean he is twenty-six years old, he needs to know that you're a minor." I nod my head and smile at my friend.

"Thank you." I say.

"For what?"

"For being a true friend and treating me like an adult."

"Why wouldn't I treat you like an adult or be a friend to you, you're practically my sister now that you're my baby brothers mate." She reasons and I smile.

"I'm glad for that too."

"Me too Laina." She turns the radio on and the country station come on, Sam Hunts Break Up in a Small town just starting and some how we both ended up singing the whole thing, finishing up just as we enter the house.

"My brother's house has six bed rooms, I think right now you are in the guest room so I will wash your new clothes and the baby clothes then bring it to your room." Eeva says as we enter the house with the bags.

"I can help." I state, following her to the laundry room that was on the first floor, thank god.

"Laina how far along are you."

"Four and a half months" I say, placing a hand on my stomach.

"Well a shewolf gives birth to her pups at five to six months, so no work for you. You sit and be pretty while I help get you set up."

"But Eeva-"

"No buts, go sit."

"Fiiine." I sigh and smile, hand the bags to my friend before hugging her.

"Thank you."

"Don't worry about it." She assures and hugs me back before shooing me out of the laundry room.

I smile and head to the kitchen to make tea, realizing that it was four thirty in the afternoon.

I smile and move around the kitchen, grabbing ingredients and tools to start dinner.

"What you making?" Strong arms wrap around me and soft lips find a spot on my neck as a warm body that sends happy shivers down my spine presses against me.

"Chicken and waffles." I say, a smile on my face as I lean into Tate.

"Yum, want help?" He says before kissing my neck.

"S-sure, do you know where the waffle maker is?"

He lets go of me and I frown, missing his touch. Soon he is beside me with the waffle maker and I hand him the batter as I start to shallow fry the breaded chicken.

"So what were you learning in school before you..." he trailed off and I smile sadly as I think about school.

"I was going for interior design. I skiped a lot of grades and by passed high school and went straight to university when I was forced to be..." it was my turn to trail off and I sigh, flipping the chicken over and adding the cooked ones into a paper towl lined tray.

"Well if you want, there is a study with a computer, you can do online courses." Tate says and I turn around, hugging him as best as I could with my huge stomach and bringing his lips to mine.

"Thank you so much." I say happily when we pull away.

"Anything to make you happy Baby." He says, kissing my forhead gently.
We finish cooking dinner just as Eeva walks into the kitchen, smiling at us.

"Finally getting along?" She asks, helping us set the table.

"We always get along." Tate answers, pulling me to his side and rubbing my back.

"Well thats good to hear. Laina I put the clothes in your room and I put the baby stuff in a basket for when you find a room to decorate and now I have to go, my mate and pups have a surprise for me." She gives us a hug then leaves, letting me and Tate have time to ourselves.

"Time to eat." He exclaims, leading me to the table.

"Okay well while we eat do you wanna play questions?" I ask, taking some of the food onto my plate and dipping it into mapple syrup.

"Sure, whats your favourite colour?"

"Green like your eyes. Favourite food?"

"Chicken and waffles actually, to be more specific, your chicken and waffles." I blush at his answer as he compliments my cooking, hearing him chuckle at me.

We stay at the table earing food and asking each other questions until we decided to head to the living room, cuddling on the couch.

"You should go to sleep." He whispers to me as I yawn.

"I don't want to." I whisper back, looking up at him and staring into his eyes.He chuckles and lowers his forehead to mine, rubbing our noses together.

"Then how about we get ready for bed and cuddle while watching tv in the room? That way if you fall asleep you will already be in bed." He reassons and I smile.

"Okay then." We get up and head to our rooms, me quickly changinf into pj pants and a tank top before getting under the covers, Tate joining me shirtless with his own pj pants loosely around his hips.

He slides in beside me, pulling me to his side, then flicks the tv on to Finding Nemo.

"Really?" I ask laughing.

"What its a classic." He states and I giggles again.

"Okay, okay we will watch it." He smirks and I role my eyes snuggling closer. I could feel my eyes grow heavy and just as Nemo was fishnapped I fell asleep.
