I manage to get Darius back to the room without incident. He still seems lost in the pictures in his hands. He doesn’t even notice when we are back in the room. “We did this. We made these two little things.” Happiness radiates from his body.
“You know how amazing this is Darius. The fact that you got me pregnant to begin with is just amazing but the goddess giving us twins. That is unheard of when mates aren’t fated.”
He pulls me into his arms. “How many times do I have to tell you? You are supposed to be with me.” He kisses my lips. “Thank you for that. It was amazing. That was a moment I will never forget for as long as I live.”
I turn back to the room. “Alright, so now that you have had all this excitement. I think you should rest. It looks like they actually cleaned the room. So, get changed and get back in bed.”
“What if I want to be naked?” He wiggles his eyebrows at me.
“Well, then when your mother comes to check on you then she will get an eye full.” I smirk. I don’t know if she is coming to check on him, but I figure that she will.
He smiles. “Then I will just get naked later.” He leaves me to go to his closet. “You are staying here with me right?” He keeps his back to me, but I can see the stiffness in his shoulders. He’s worried about my answer.
“All my stuff is here, where else will I stay?”
He turns back to me and he looks like a nervous school boy. “With Markus.”
I shake my head. “I am here for you. I am here because you were sick. I didn’t come back when Markus asked me to two months ago. It wasn’t until he said that you were really sick that I came back. So for the record, I will be staying here. I do have to track down my bag. I think it might have been left in Markus’s truck.”
“It’s in his room.” He looks grumpy about it. “He linked me earlier and told me to tell you.”
“Why don’t people link me, I swear. I’ll get it later. I don’t need it until bedtime. I don’t have any clothes to sleep in. You made sure I didn’t.” I point out, before he objects.
He gets one of his smirks. “Well, I never wanted you to wear clothes.” He stalks towards me. “Can you really blame me? A beautiful creature like you, laying next to me every night. How could I not want to claim every inch of your body.” He has a low growl in his voice. “I want you again. And again.”
He attacks my lips, lifting my body around him. However, when he lays me down on the bed, there is a knock on the door. He growls, but goes to answer, while I sit back up. Sure enough it is his mother at the door.
“Sorry to disturb you. I just wanted to bring by your medication and check on you.”
Darius doesn’t grumble at her. He moves so that she can come into the room. “Here sit, I want to show you something.” Elation has entered his tone again. Mom takes a seat and looks over at me. I just smile, this is his news. He comes back with the pictures. “Look mom.”
She takes the pictures and her eyes start to bug out of her head. “Oh, my goddess. Twins.”
Darius nods. “Yes, isn’t this fantastic news.”
“Darius, this is wonderful news.” I can see the smile spreading on her face. She looks up at his face. “You look so much better too.” She smiles back at me. “Thank you for giving me my son back.”
“He just had to be a little less stubborn.” I wink at him.
“Where is my medicine mom? I want this thing gone. I have too much to live for now.” Darius puts his hand out to his mother. She places a little plastic container in his hand. She must have put the medications together for him.
He doesn’t hesitate to take them all. “These are the grossest things. Even worse than soup.” He shakes his head. “Well, mom, as much as I love seeing you. I want to spend a little alone time with Sophia.”
She looks a little sad. “Well, first Sophia is supposed to meet with your father. He wanted to see her when you guys got back. He told me since I was headed up here.”
Darius nods. “Ok.” He looks at me. “Just hurry back. Please.”
I grin at his response. “I’ll hurry. I’ll get my bag from Markus too, that way I can be done for the night.”
He pulls me into his arms again. “Thank you.” He gives me a light kiss. He is aware of his mom behind him and that explains why he doesn’t go to extremes.
