“Is it you who wants ice cream or our little bundles of chaos?”

I giggled mischievously while I reached out to press my hand on my belly. Malifer’s hand laid on mine the next second, the two of us anticipating the dual kicks our touch ignited.

“Nah, it’s the bundles of chaos,” I assured him. “I just want to sleep for eons and make your men pee their pants for being stupid in my presence.”

“I think they regret thinking their lives would have been easier with you in charge while I take paternity leave,” he commented, and the last part of his comment made me laugh.

“How did you get maternity leave before me?” I asked. “I’m the one carrying TWO babies. What are you doing?!”

“Ensuring my queen gets all the Rocky Road ice cream in the world,” he reasoned, which seemed like a decent excuse.

For now.

“Fine, but I’m officially on mat leave once I finish those last documents on the desk, and then we’ll see!”

“What are you trying to see?” he teased and gently kissed me. “I signed those already. You’re free for a good year.”

“Thank you,” I praised before I shrugged. “I have no clue what I was trying to get at with my previous statement.”

“Should I blame the preggo brain?” he inquired. “That’s what Wren called it.”

“Yes. Blame it,” I huffed but further relaxed now that his hand was gently circling around my belly that carried our twins. “I have two more months of this waddling, sleeping, peeing, craving madness and then I’ll take over the world for shits and giggles.”

“You don’t wanna share anymore?” he asked as if he knew I was falling asleep, which was why my statement totally wasn’t like me.

“Hmm…maybe you,” I voiced. “And Wren. She is my twin so she gets a share. Oh. And I guess Killian since that’s her man and all…then I need a share for our twins… Hmm. I’ll think about it after ice cream.”

He chuckled and kissed my lips lightly. “Aren’t you sleepy though?”

“No…” I replied and yawned. “The…Queen of…Demon Valley Pack…doesn’t need…sleep.”

“Mhmm,” he replied as he proceeded to rock me back and forth, the motion only further relaxing me. “Well, why doesn’t Mama Lex relax and let Papa Malifer rule a bit so you can get some rest?”

“Sounds…tempting,” I replied. “I’ll…think…about…”

The words were never finished as my mind began to drift, the blanketing sensation of peace only making it easier to relax and enjoy the movement of the rocking chair.

A kiss to my forehead was followed by one to my belly, and I managed to hear Malifer’s words before the comforting arms of darkness embraced me.

“From a lone Demon King in a world of devastation to the Alpha of one of the strongest packs with my pregnant queen in my arms and two loving rulers in the realms of her belly. I never thought it would happen, but I guess I got the happy ending I always yearned for. Thank you, my Sweet Lex.”

I knew in the depths of my soul that happy endings would ignite new beginnings.

What brought me great tranquility was knowing our children would live in a world that surrounded them with nothing but love.

A valley that embraced the darkness, and allowed the rays of light to warm our lives…and hearts.

THE END.
