Owen said, “But her skin is pale, and her ears are pointy.”
Keres smiled. “Thanatos, are you going to be inviting your family for an introduction?”
He nodded. “If Mateo doesn’t mind.”
Mateo smiled. “I will invite my family on the same night.”
Owen smiled. “Me, too.”
Armand nodded. “Me, too.”
Keres rubbed the back of her neck. “Well, I will be there for Persephone if she will have me, but Achilles and Dante have to come with me as your brothers-in-law.”
Persephone asked Mateo, “Can I invite her?”
“Of course.”
Keres smiled. “Well, if I am going to be facing off against Lady Fen, you are going to see what I actually look like.” She paused and then said, “Oh, and if you were wondering, your reproductive system is just as accelerated as mine, so you are going to need formula, possibly a nanny, and all hands on deck. Four babies will arrive in two sets of two, and maybe the next heat, you guys can rock paper scissors for condoms.”
Persephone blinked. “Oh. Right. Well, I still have my job. I just have to do a lot of it from home. Rhymbia will just have to work out the new situation if she wants to keep me.”
Mateo frowned. “What about the shelter and café?”
“That is what the job is for. It breaks even most of the time, but my income goes into it. I have some savings, but I rarely dip into it.” She shrugged. “Oh, geez. Did Thera and Ford get connected?”
Thanatos nodded. “Yes. They are getting the footage and releases. My sister is delighted. Thera doesn’t get excited about much.”
Keres grinned. “Ah, the Women’s Day video. Right. They were looking for a teen.”
“Thera is an excellent candidate.” Persephone nodded and smiled then she paused. “So, I have two months to get ready to have babies?”
“You have two months to outfit them. You are going to be showing in a few weeks.” She blushed a little. “I have no idea if we share side effects, but you are going to be insanely horny right about the time that you start curving out. Keep one of your guys near at all times.”
Achilles grinned. “We learned that one the hard way.”
Dante chuckled. “It was a rapid learning curve.”
Keres snorted. “These poor boys were tireless in their attempts to keep my hunger under control.”
The alphas at the table all chuckled. Owen was looking at Dante, and there was hunger in his gaze.
Keres summoned a spray bottle and zapped Owen in the face. “Little dude, if you put one finger on my mates, you are going to learn to sign things with your elbow. Look, but don’t think about touching. If you wonder why, you will see the real him when we come to the party.”
Owen nodded ruefully. “Got it.” He wiped his wet face.
Keres shrugged. “I am psycho possessive.”
Dante grinned. “It’s fine. So are we. We came out of hell together, and that has crafted a bond.”
Achilles nodded. “Dinner was lovely. Thank you, Dan, for your efforts, and thanks to our host for the offer.”
Keres said, “I am very glad to be able to be back in your life, Persephone. Your guys have affection for you, which is a good start. Make them keep to their promised dates, and if things have to change because you are pregnant, so be it. Picnics are nice. Walks in the woods. Avoid bike rides. Too much friction. Oh, and keep me posted for the party. I have a few presents to add to the pile for my favourite omega and my second favourite.” She winked at Owen. “Pardon us for eating and running, but I have a debt to pay to Achilles.”
Dante started cackling. “I really want to see the result of that.”
Persephone looked curious, but she quietly got to her feet and ran around to hug Keres. “I miss you already.”
“I will be back when I am invited. I don’t want to disrupt your pack as you get into your rhythm. It takes time but is worth the effort for you and them.” She hugged her and stroked her hair. “I am very glad that I can be near you again.”
