“How did it go?” Grace asks as Liam pulls Angel into a hug.
“It's good. Perry had sother ideas, and ways we can save money, but he’ll be back on Monday to get
started.” | push my chin in the direction of Jeremy. ” What's Jeremy building now? | thought he would be focusing
on furniture or Hope's crib.”
“Actually, while we were gone, Amber found a place that sells egg-laying hens. Autumn had a great idea about
having our own hens of various ages and Amber searched for a place that has them. This way, we can have egg
layers and allow sto mature so that we can start our own chicken coop. Then, eventually, we'll have our

wouldn't take more than a day.”
| look at my mate in wonder. “Hens?”
She smirks. “And maybe a rooster as well. We just needed to find a place away from where most people shift.
Noah is taking Autumn and | on Sunday afternoon. to get them.”
“You continue to amaze me, baby.”
Rik and Cara arrive before dinner, and | introduce them to our pack. Anders and Calista will arrive tomorrow

Nearly my entire pack comes up to thank Liam and Rik for loaning us the money to rebuild. They talk about their

she still seems to enjoy the conversation and is able to relate to the ‘pregnancy hormones’. Whatever that
means. When | look at Grace, | can see and feel a little sadness in her. We haven't had an opportunity to talk
about having pups. We also haven't had the money for condoms, so that conversation needs to happen sooner
rather than later. If she wants to wait, maybe Sirona has sideas for birth control options.
Later that night, when I'm curled around my mate, | ask her. “We've never had the pup conversation, baby. What

She’s quiet for a moment. “I do. | didn’t think I would, not with the direction my life was going. But with this life,
with you, | definitely do.” She turns in my arms, putting her hand on my face. “But, would you be disappointed if
| said | wanted to wait a bit? I'm young, so there’s no rush. But we have so much to do here, and | want to
participate in the tournament, which | wouldn't be able to do if | was pregnant. So, maybe we can start working
on a pup after that?”
| rub my nose against my mate’s. “I think that’s a great idea. | definitely want to have pups with you, but now
doesn’t feel like the right time. Would you be
comfortable talking to Sirona to see if we have any options for birth control, at least until | can make some
money to afford condoms?”
She chuckles, turning back around, pressing herself into me. Goddess, | love this
