    We had dinner a littleter, and Henry got to give Cora his shocked congrattions on her pregnancy.


    His eyes were wet, a little, at the thought of his second grandchild, but it was all for joy. It was a


    wonderful evening that we all spent together surprising after such a horrible morning.

    Tomorrow, I know, we have a lot to think about and decide. But tonight? Tonight I just want to sleep in


    my mate’s arms and get some rest under the knowledge that nobody is going to attack us and try to


    take my baby.


    I’m tired, then, when Sinir and I head back to our room with little Rafe in my arms, already asleep.


    A’s Sinir opens the door for us I give a little wave to my sister and Roger, who are sleeping a few


    doors down.


    “Aw,” I say, looking up at Sinir as we walk into the room. “I’m jealous. I want to get knocked up.”


    “What!?” Sinir exims,ughing as he moves across the room to the little table where we’ve


    unpacked our clothes, eager to get ready for bed.


    I pout as I move to the little makeshift cradle waiting by our bed that Henry instructed Sinir’s men to


    make for us this afternoon,ying my sleeping baby down on the thin, firm mattress waiting there for


    him.


    “I’m just a little jealous!” I dere,ughing a little.


    “E,” Sinir sighs, pulling his shirt over his head anding over to me. I turn to my mate, eager,


    and wrap my arms around his neck, smiling up at him. “You do realize that you just gave birth to our


    perfect little baby, and that it was an incrediblyplicated and dramatic pregnancy. Are you really so


    eager to be pregnant again?”


    “No,” I say, grinning up at him. “That’s not what I said. I don’t want to be pregnant – at least, not right


    now. Not yet. I just want to get knocked up!”


    “Okay,” Sinir replies,ughing again and smiling down at me so broadly that it brings out all the little


    crinkles around his eyes that I love. “Please exin, then, my love, the difference between the terms.‘


    “I just think it would be nice,” I say softly, “to just…” I shrug, “not be trying to get pregnant, and then one


    day poof! Surprise!” I look up into his eyes, still smiling, “suddenly knocked up!”


    “Hmm,” he says, beginning to stroke my hair and, I think, understand. But he wants to hear more. “And


    why, E,” he asks, “does that sound so appealing?”


    –


    “Because,” I continue, taking a deep breath and resting my tace against his chest. “You know I love


    everything about our story, Sinir we never would have met, or had our baby, if we hadn’t been


    thrown into that situation. But there was so much that was stressful about how Rafe was conceived – I


    had to spend so much money, and just hope that it worked, and frankly the idea that my sister put your


    defrosted sperm in me when you were just like somewhere else on the earth


    ”


    –


    Heughs now and I can feel him nodding. “Yes,” he agrees. “I see. A little,…less romantic and


    intimate than it could be.”


    “Precisely,” I say. “Roger and Cora…it’s been soplicated for them, but there is something beautiful


    about them making that little miracle baby because they loved each other so much.‘


    I feel Sinirs knuckles graze my face and look up at him again.


    “I’ll give you as many children as you want, E,” he murmurs softly, “and they will all be conceived in


    love. Rafe too.”


    “J


    “I know,” I say, smiling up at him. “I’m excited. It will happen one day.” And a memory shes in my


    mind of the prophecy the priests showed me, of our little family of four. Could that really be possible? I


    mean, the eldest child in that vision was a dark–haired boy just like my sweet Rafe. Would the rest


    come true as well?


    “I mean,” Sinir says, interrupting my reverie and sliding his hands down my back to grip my ass. “If


    you’re that eager to get knocked up I’m right here and there is a bed – I am very happy to oblige –


    Iugh, biting my lip as I look up at him and pressing my body closer to his. But then I hesitate. Let’s


    wait, a little,” I say quietly, “before we think about a second child. Until all of this,” I say, waving a hand


    to encapste the bunker and all of the reasons why we’re here, “is sorted. Is that all right?”


    “Yes, E,” Sinir says, bending down a little further to get a better grip on my ass and using the


    leverage to pick me up in his arms. Iugh and wrap my legs around his waist, hands looped casually


    behind his neck. “You control the timeline. In the meantime,” he growls yfully as he moves his face


    closer to mine, “we’ll just…practice.”


    –


    “Good,” I murmur softly against his lips, a little thrill running through me as I remember that enough


    time has passed. I can take my mate to bed really to bed – anytime I want now. But as I think about it, I


    pull away for a second, curious. “Dominic, what do wolves use for birth control?”


    “Self–restraint,” he murmurs against my shoulder, carrying me the few steps to the bed and


    sitting down hard on it, taking me with him. He rolls then and Iugh as he presses me down against


    the mattress, kissing down my neck. “We’re horrible at it,” he adds, “that’s why there are legions of wolf


    babies out there…”


    Iugh again and lean my head back, enjoying the feeling of him running his lips over me, his hands


    under my shirt now, warm against my stomach. I idly y with his hair as I force the conversation to


    continue. “But really, love,” I ask. “If we decide to wait a little bit for another child, how do we make sure


    that happens? Because, you know we’re not going to be able to practice abstinence. If that’s the only


    solution we’re going to pop out a kid every six months.”


    Sinirughs at the idea and then sits up, pulling me with him and then tugging my shirt up over my


    head and looking hungrily down at my mostly–naked torso. He quickly un–snaps my bra, pulling it off


    my shoulders and tossing it aside beforeying me back down on the mattress.” There are herbs,” he


    informs me, kissing down my stomach now as he raises a hand to hold my breast, his thumb idly


    flicking over my nipple and sending a little shiver through me. “But you won’t need them for a while.


    Wolf bodies are more diligent than humans about making sure that there’s time between pups. It’s very


    unlikely that you will ovte at all while you’re still breastfeeding.”


    “Oh,” I say, surprised.


    “Mmmhmm,” he says, tugging at the waistband of my pants now, getting distracted from the


    conversation. “Our pups are rare as you know. So the female wolf body is designed to ensure that the


    pup gets all the nutrients it needs before making a new one. You don’t have to worry about it for a


    while, but we can talk to Cora if you want —“


    “Later,” I murmur, looking down at my mate as he slides my pants and underwear down off my body.


    Then I’m panting in anticipation as Sinir slides one of my knees over his shoulders, dipping his head


    down to give me a long, thorough lick just where I want him to. I moan a little, letting my head fall back


    on the pillow. “Let’s worry about all of thatter…” I whisper.


    My mate murmurs his agreement and then, fully distracted, gets to work.
