Kozien grinned at the thought. Even just thinking about Gianna swollen with his child and radiating a beautiful pregnancy glow made his heart want to burst right out of his chest. He loved that woman more than he could ever imagine. It really was a wonder how they got anything done.
But now that he had handed over PAPS to his brothers, he was confident that he and Gianna would be able to take care of their life together and bring a child into this world without having to worry about the repercussions of him having to swing back and forth between his job and his family.
No matter what, Gianna came first. So, if that meant having to hand over his business, so be it. It would all be worth it in the long run.
“You’ll still be earning a percent. Just so you know.”
Kozien shook his head, pulling his brother into one of their rare hugs. “I appreciate you taking care of my family, Grux.”
“It’s the least I can do at this point.”
Parting from his brother, he nodded and let him lead them out to the private parking lot in the back where he’d parked his ship. He bid his brother goodbye with one final wave before climbing aboard and ascending into the air.
As soon as he reached above the buildings, his comms rang. Gianna’s smiling face was plastered all over his screen. It made him smile as he answered it.
“Hello, my mate.”
“Kozien! Oh, thank god.”
A chill ran down his spine at her tone. “What happened?”
“Gabe’s getting mated!”
“Really?” Kozien’s face spread into a wide smile.
“Yes! He’s such a brat. He told me they’re doing it on the beach this afternoon. Can you get back here in time?”
He laughed. “Of course, I can. Shall I bring cake?”
The ceremony—although a little rushed—had been beautiful.
Gabe and Sililia had decided on a traditional mating on the beach, where the waves crashed onto the shore and the smell of saltwater filled the air as they both decreed their love for one another.
It was a truly beautiful sight, watching his mate’s brother find the love of his life just as he had found his sister only a few short months ago. He couldn’t believe how lucky they all were, finding their mates and settling down into their families like it had been planned by the stars.
Gianna had cried during her brother’s decree, her arm clutched tightly around Kozien’s while she dabbed a tissue at her cheeks.
He could tell she was proud of Gabe. They had both overcome so much in their life that it was nice to see them both so happy. Even Kozien’s brothers had commented on it when he’d arrived to hand over PAPS to them, telling him that he radiated happiness. He hoped that was true and that he lit up as soon as Gianna was in the room with him.
He couldn’t think of a better way to live out the rest of his life, honestly.
Gabe and Sililia had a small after-party reception on the beach after their mating. Food had been prepared by a few of their friends they’d met on the boat. The feast was immaculate and fit to feed an entire village.
Which actually came in handy, since a few of the villagers started to wander down to the festivities, only to be handed a plate full of food and a chair to recline in.
Kozien had pulled Gianna into his lap and let her rest against him, her eyes automatically pulled toward the water while they both watched the sunset over the horizon.
“Beautiful day for a mating,” he told her.
She smiled and turned back to look at him. “Yeah, I agree. Though, I can’t believe my brother was so impulsive like this.”
He chuckled. “I can’t say we’re any better, love.”
Her cheeks flushed. “Okay, you got me there.”
“When you know, you know.”
She leaned over and kissed him. “Want to ditch this party and see about making us a baby?”
