But then instead of being content and laying on my arm as he normally would he wiggles and turns his body until his legs are dangling down and his arms are on the top of my growing bump as though hugging it. It is covered by my dress but he doesn\u2019t seem to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, that is a little strange. But as long as he is happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lenime\u2019s hand is on my lower belly, rubbing my bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you think he can sense there is a baby inside?\u201d Dax asks, sounding like he is thinking out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know. Maybe. I\u2019m just happy he is happy. Lord only knows what would have happened if he had stayed with that awful woman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron\u2019s smile disappears and he nods. \u201cI am thinking of asking for a death sentence. She shouldn&#8217;t have hurt my son, but also would have hurt you if it wasn\u2019t for your shield. I want her gone. No one hurts my family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI agree, she should be punished to the full extent of the law,\u201d Dax says with similar angry expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was never keen on her, but she has a good history with children. It is only logical that she look after him. No one would have guessed what a xenophobic bitch she really is. Dallas originally was going to adopt the child himself. But with the light problem and things, neither he nor Steph really had the experience or confidence to care for him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat explains a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will kill her.\u201d We all stop speaking and I turn too looked at Lenime. His expression is positively terrifying. He looks murderous. Never before have I seen him look half as mad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo one hurts or attempts to hurt my mate or future Queen and gets away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI like you, Lenime. You are just the type of mate my little Snow needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLenime and Phe are completely dedicated. You should see all the drawings Lenime drew of Ann before he even met her in person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReally?\u201d Aaron asks in awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes. He is a great artist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPhe drew as well,\u201d Lenime adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, but he hasn\u2019t shown me any of his work because he said they weren\u2019t very good and he destroyed them,\u201d I remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have not seen any in many Phases\u2026 Years,\u201d He corrects himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut from what I remember, they were amazing. At least in my eyes, just he never thought they were good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wish I could have seen,\u201d I say thoughtfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy brother pretends to be miserable and unintelligent-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I slap his arm, cutting his off. \u201cDon\u2019t be nasty. Phe is amazing and kind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo you and when you are around. But when you are not there\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dax nods in agreement but then adds, \u201cYou are hardly any better. When Koya told me you two were known to be quiet and moody, I thought she was over-exaggerating. But no, you two are downright arses. Thank goodness she came along when she did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look back at Lenime glaring at Dax, but Dax seems unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t believe it. Lenime is by far the sweetest, more caring I know. Yes, Phe can be a bit rude, but\u2026\u201d I pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cActually, I can believe Phe was, but I don\u2019t care. I love him and Len so much, no matter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mate\u2019s arms tightened around me. \u201cMy Amber.\u201d He nuzzles my neck. \u201cWe were so lonely without you. I am very happy you accepted me. In all honesty, I expected you to reject me when we discovered we were mates too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNever! I love you and Phe both, one just as much as the other. We complete each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d He smiles, stroking my cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have always felt closer to Phe than my other siblings, but I did not understand until recently why.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo you really aren\u2019t your brother\u2019s mate too?\u201d Aaron just had to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou are not sexually attracted to him?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn a sense, I guess we are mates. But not in the true sense of the word. We hold a deep connection and love for one another and I would never want to lose him or Amber. But I am not sexually attracted to him. But I do enjoy watching him please her sexually and joining as a trio is the best feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron nods in understanding. Dax looks looks a little sad but tries to hide it behind a small smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd when he made her explode and showered him with her juices this morning-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLenime!\u201d I exclaim mortified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it is already too late, Dax and Aaron look beyond amused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look to Phe but he is still deep in conversation, wearing a serious expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat? I thought you would be proud you tasted so-\u201d I struggle, but somehow managed to hold Marmite in one arm and slap my other hand other my mate\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t finish that sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAww, but why, Snow? This is very interesting stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot funny,\u201d I glare at my brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing a soft sigh, I glance down and smiled. Marmite has falling asleep but looks like he has finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe needs winding before he sleeps,\u201d Aaron reminds me and I nod, lifting him away from my breast. And hold him out for my brother while I adjust my dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe wants to stay with you,\u201d He comments I notice the baby is clinging to my dress and whimpering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlright.\u201d I finish covering my breast and take him back in my arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMarmite, stop!\u201d I say probably a little too harshly but he is going to hurt himself if he doesn\u2019t stop wiggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I manage to move him into the correct position and start winding him as I was shown, but he is far from cooperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s wrong with him,\u201d Aaron says in thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaybe he\u2019s just tired,\u201d I say with a smile watching Lenime kiss the baby\u2019s nose making him relax a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phe is still on the panel talking to someone. What is taking so long?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marmite settles enough for me to wind him but the moment I stop, he is wiggling with a vengeance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlright, alright, Grumpy bum.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I keep a secure hold on him but allow him to wiggle into the position he wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHim and your belly,\u201d My brother laughs shaking his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marmite has moved all the way down my body, so he is now sprawled out on my belly, like a starfish, his hands hugging my bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis reminds me of something I once heard Kurt &#8211; Dallas\u2019s father say.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhich was?\u201d Aaron asks Dax amused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I never really noticed before, Dax has incredible eyes. They are a green\/hazel colour that shines and make his eye\u2026 I guess you could say pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDallas and Steph\u2019s parents are good friends. So they often spend time together,\u201d He explains. \u201cTo cut it short, Dallas was the same whenever Steph\u2019s mother was around him &#8211; when she was pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause she was\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPregnant with his mate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh my goodness!\u201d Aaron squeals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaybe Midget and mini Snow in there are mates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPossibly,\u201d Dax adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat would mean we are going to have a daughter,\u201d Lenime says excitedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From what I have learned, the Poyun automatically accept their child\u2019s mate as their own child. Hence why Kiy and Ren call me their daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An annoying noise rang, it sounds as though it is coming from Dax. We all watch him curiously as he pull a handset device from his pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s my SAL,\u201d He says as though we should know what that means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSocial aerial link,\u201d He adds answering the thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a phone,\u201d Aaron whispers and I nod my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHello?\u201d He answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, sir.\u201d He straightens up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight away.\u201d A pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey are here\u2026 Yes. He is\u2026 He\u2019s on a com with someone\u2026 Maybe\u2026 Yes, sir\u2026. Right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phe walks back over with a serious expression just as Dax finishes on the phone thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWere you speaking to them?\u201d Dax asks him cryptically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Phe nods walking over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAre they yours? Because Dallas and Monet are freaking out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018What the hell?\u2019 I mouth looking at Aaron. He looks equally confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes. I am going to go outside now and explain to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dax rose from his seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe told me to tell you Kiy has taken them to the meeting room to wait for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time I open my mouth to speak one of them spoke. Maybe I am being impatient but I want to know what the hell is happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, that is a good place to speak away from the public. Do they know?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI do not think so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron stands and as does Lenime, cradling me with Marmite now fast asleep, but still in the same position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am sorry for taking so long, my love.\u201d Phe leans in and licks my lips. \u201cPlease forgive me?\u201d Gone is the hard man from a moment ago and back is my love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlways. Now tell me what going on! We can walk and talk if need be. But I want to know what happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course, my love. I intended to.\u201d Again he licks my lips but, this time, pushes his tongues between them and into my mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I moan and he groans pressing his lips to mine before pulling back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGrandfather has sent the battle armada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat? Why?\u201d Lenime seems equally confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll explain when we are with the others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t argue, we are only around the corner now so I won\u2019t have to wait long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon entering the correct room, we are greeted by at least a dozen or more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That including Kiy, most of his sons and a few others, Lance, Monet, Dallas, his dad and several people I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat the hell is going on?\u201d A large angry looking Human man in his forties all but yells at us when we enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone sat down, Aaron on one side, Phe on the other, Dax next to my brother and me and Marmite still on Lenime\u2019s lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Poyun battle armada sent by grandfather,\u201d Phe is addressing his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy in the hell\u2026?!\u201d The same man demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that has become clear over the last couple of days is that pregnancy has made me a little emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you want answers I suggest you stop demanding and give him a chance to talk!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, I\u2019m a little mad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man looks at me with distaste, \u201cMaybe you should go look after your baby and leave the talking to us, men.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My jaw clenches. So much for sexism being dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to kill him! I am ready to dive across the table, but I remember Marmite and stop myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy don\u2019t you\u2026\u201d A flash and\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tighten my arms around my nephew and I feel the ground shift beneath us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lenime is gone or should I say, I am gone. But for some reason, Marmite came with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My backside lands on a cold floor, more gently than I would have expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot a bloody gain!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bright light shone around us blinding me for a moment until it fades, revealing a large room or at least what little I could see of it from behind this large metallic object blocking my view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhere the hell am I this time?\u201d I mumble to myself, trying to push myself off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marmite is now wide awake, thankfully not crying, but looking as confused as I feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I lifted him higher into my arms, he doesn\u2019t seem to please but doesn\u2019t complain or struggle. I think he understands I have to lift him higher to push myself up because it is proving impossible for him on my belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then again it isn\u2019t going much better now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, I try to push myself up and again nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My legs just don\u2019t seem to want to cooperate with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhere the hell is Len when I need him?!\u201d I mumble lowly, wonder how come baby can but not him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marmite finds this very funny and is a having a great time letting me know with a squeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHa, you would find this amusing, midget.\u201d I lean press a kiss to his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaybe\u2026\u201d I make sure his hood is up and place him in the floor, on his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His lip instantly start to quiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShh.\u201d I easily get to my knees and into a position which will be easier to stand from. \u201cShh, pretty boy. I am never going to leave you.\u201d I pick him back up and kiss his head. \u201cYou are basically my son if you really are my baby\u2019s mate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He clings to my dress as soon as he is close enough.
