Chapter two: Pregnancy Talk

Esmé Gandillon lay in the lawn chair her eyes closed in contemplation, so many things had happened since her now deceased mate was killed in a fire, but the most important thing that happened was Vivian finding love with Gabriel. They fitted each other to a T. Gabriel was really attentive to his mate as well as Vivian with him. Though the pressure of being Queen Bitch had to be hard on Vivian for she was only the age of seventeen, she was still in school which made it harder but she has Gabriel with her, which makes it easier to deal with.

Esmé was disrupted of her thoughts when her lover slash mate Tomas entered their bedroom, he had a place of steak that was cooked rare, he handed it to her, she tasted it and about moaned aloud in ecstasy, it was absolutely succulent.

"This is very delicious, I absolutely love it." Tomas couldn't help the smile that came upon his face when Esmé complimented him on his cooking skills.

"Why thank you." Esmé just smiled a seductive smile at him and got up from the chair she sat in. Just as they were about to bring their lips to one another they were interrupted by a knock on the bedroom door.

"Who is it?" Esmé questioned from where she stood.

"It's Persia," a gravely elderly voice replied. Esmé walked over to the door opening it letting the elderly woman in.

"Aunt Persia what is it?" The elderly woman took a seat on the king sized bed in the room.

"I've had a sort of vision from the future, I just have to warn you and everyone else to keep your eyes and ears open, this is all I have come to tell you." With those words Aunt Persia got up from the bed and walked out of the room of Tomas and Esmé.

"Finn was playing Call of Duty on Gabriel's X-box, he was totally wiping the floor with Ulf, just as he finished his epic fight he had a strange feeling that someone was watching him, turning around to where he felt the prying eyes he saw Gabriel in the kitchen sitting on the counter watching them play while eating an apple.

"Hey Gabe my Alpha, where's Viv at?" Finn asked looking around to see if Vivian was in the kitchen with him.

"Shower." Gabriel hopped off of the counter and walked to the den, tossing the now finished core of his apple in the trash. He walked over to the sofa and sat down beside Ulf.

"Hello Gabriel." Ulf said in greeting.

"Little brother." Gabriel replied while watching them play their epic game of Call of Duty with amusement in his eyes. Just as Gabriel was about to say something he felt warm soft arms wrap around his shoulders from behind. He looked behind him and met the beautiful green eyes of his mate.

"Hey babe, care to join me on the couch?"

"I don't want to, actually there's something I want to talk to you about in private." Vivian voiced kissing him on the cheek. Gabriel stood up and followed her back to their room. Once there he shut the door and turned around to look into the worried eyes of his mate.

"I called my mother and we were talking and then she told me that Aunt Persia came to her and Tomas's room and had told them 'to keep their eyes and ears open.' Gabe I'm worried what if we're in danger once more? We can't keep moving from place to place, I'd like to have a permanent home." Gabriel grabbed Vivian's arm pulling her towards him and enveloping her in his arms.

"If we're in danger again then we'll deal with it how we need to when the time has come. I know you don't like moving from place to place, neither do I, I would like to have a permanent place to stay as well, but just remember that it is for the pack." As Gabe held Vivian tighter in his arms he felt the tenseness that was in her body.

"Vivian what is it, what else is on your mind?" Vivian looked up into the blue eyes of her soul mate, she was hesitant to tell him what was bothering her what was on her mind, but as her mate and Alpha he had a right to know, so she asked him a question.

"Gabriel have you ever thought about having children?"

"Um… Well yes I have, only with you of course, why do you ask?" Ignoring his question Vivian pondered his answer, she was never one to want children of her own or even take care of any, but recently since she'd been with Gabe she was really starting to yearn for some of her own, her and Gabriel's children. "Vivian babe are you pregnant?" Vivian couldn't help but smile when she saw the look of hope and want in Gabriel's eyes, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips which he responded to with enthusiasm,

"I love you Gabe."

"I love you as well but you haven't answered my question. Are you pregnant?" Vivian sighed silently and looked up into the sparkling blue eyes of Gabriel. His eyes held so much hope and in that moment she knew that he wants her to say yes, he wants her to be pregnant, he wants her to be a mother and he wants to be a father."

"No Gabe, I'm not. I wish I was though, I can't wait till the day that I carry your child within me, but even though I want to be pregnant, I would also like to finish school as well. I hope you understand that.

"Oh babe, I understand, I just was truly hoping you would have said that yes you are pregnant." Vivian couldn't help but feel a little upset because when she said she was not she saw the spark die in Gabriel's eyes and be filled with sorrow.

"Though if it does happen before I finish school I wouldn't be adverse to it, I just don't want the pregnancy to be unintentional during the time span, so I'm saying if it happens it happens. Don't get any bright ideas either." Vivian said standing on her tip toes once more and kissing Gabriel, he pulled her closer to his body. After about a couple of minutes he decided to let go of her lips.

"Oh babe, I won't get any bright ideas, I'll get wonderful ideas. I can't wait till you are full with my child, I am looking forward to your pregnancy the glow you will have during the time allotted, your hunger cravings and even your mood swings that will be unworldly, and most importantly I can't wait till you give birth to my child when we do finally conceive.

Vivian looked into his eyes and could see the fire burning in them; she loved that desire that showed upon his face to have a child. She knew he would wait but she also wouldn't put it past him to find a loophole in her conditions either and have her impregnated before the school year ends. She just decided to change the subject at hand, she grabbed his hand and pulled him out of their room and to the kitchen, Gabe grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up sitting her atop the counter top.

"Gabriel, what do you want for your birthday?" She immediately regretted the question once she asked for a sly smirk came upon his handsome face almost immediately.

"I only want you and a baby together with you."

"I can give you me obviously, but I can't give you a baby in two days."

"Whoa back the popsicles up; did I just hear the word baby and it not being used as an endearment either?" Finn questioned from the den.

"Shut up Finn, he'll get his baby with me, just not in the time that he'd like."

"If you say so, I wouldn't be surprised if he's already knocked you up." Vivian's reply to what Finn said was grabbing and throwing the nearest item she could get her hands on at his head, which just happened to be a heavy hardback dictionary. Sighing to herself loudly she decided to answer Finn back.

"Fine, if it will shut you up, even though I know I'm not, come on Gabe let's walk through the blizzard to the inn. Vivian grabbed Gabriel's hand pulling him out the door with her but not before grabbing their coats, hats, scarves, and gloves and donning them.
