The Heir's Child Camp Plans
After Mark drops me back off at my house, Raven immediately zeroes in on me. I know that she thinks that there is something going on between Mark and I but he really is just a friend. A really good friend, but a friend nonetheless."So, how'd it go?" She asks me."It went okay...." I say."Really? Because, you were gone like all day. I expected you to be back a couple of hours ago." She says."Oh. I, uh, I fell asleep." I tell her.She snorts as I walk towards the kitchen. We really were gone most of the day and I feel like I have not eaten for days after it being only a few hours."You do not normally just fall asleep. So, what happened?" She asks me."Well, I got comfortable, closed my eyes, and fell asleep. Then we woke up and came right back." I tell her.I wince at the use of the word 'we'. I had not meant to let her know that he was sleeping as well. It was my original plan to just allow her to think that I took a short nap on my own and play it off like nothing odd happened. Of
The Heir's Child Peaceful
I close my eyes again, letting the sounds of the forest wash over me.The constant rush of the waterfall blends with the chirping birds and the steady hum of insects hidden among the trees. Every now and then, a breeze stirs the leaves overhead, carrying the earthy scent of pine and damp soil.For the first time in what feels like forever, my mind goes completely quiet.No worrying about the baby.No wondering if someone is looking for me.No fear of what tomorrow might bring.Just... peace.I don't remember falling asleep.One moment I'm listening to the forest, and the next I'm blinking awake to warmth against my cheek.For a split second, panic shoots through me.Then I realize my head is resting against Mark's shoulder.Heat rushes to my face.I straighten so quickly that I nearly lose my balance, silently thanking every goddess I can think of when I see his eyes still closed.He didn't notice...At least, I don't think he did.Trying to act as though nothing happened, I quietly s
The Heir's Child Camping Spots
"So, where all are you taking me?" I ask nervously as I enter Mark's truck."Well, there are a few different camping spots that I know of. I figured it would be best if you got the chance to see them all in person before you pick one." He tells me.I never expected to feel nervous just getting into somebody's truck but this entire day seems like a lot of firsts for me. I have never went somewhere alone with a guy unless it was Lyall, and even then we were always somewhere public. I have never gotten into a truck like his. I have also never went anywhere with someone besides Raven since I found out that I am pregnant. Heck, when I look at it, I have never been in a vehicle with a human either. I have no idea what to expect today with all of these firsts. What else could happen that I am not expecting? How do I even act?"Are you okay over there?" Mark asks me once we settle in."What? Oh, yeah. Just not used to doing something like this." I admit."Something like what?" He asks with
The Heir's Child Family Secrets
Back at the PackLyall's POV"There has to be a doctor we missed."River's voice pulls me from the list in front of me."Maybe one we dismissed too quickly."I look down at the pages spread across the table.It has been weeks since we first realized that Rowan would eventually need a doctor. Weeks of searching. Weeks of calling. Weeks of carefully worded questions and even more carefully guarded answers.And still...Nothing.Either the doctors we have contacted know nothing about Rowan, or they are doing an incredibly good job of keeping their mouths shut.At this point, I am starting to believe it might be the second one."We're going to have to go through the entire list again," I say, rubbing both hands over my face.Mel and Troy groan simultaneously.I shoot them both a look."Seriously?""We've already gone through those lists," Mel complains."Yes. And we clearly missed something.""Or she never saw any of them," Troy points out.I glare at him."That is not helping."He immedi
The Heir's Child Feeling Girly
When I get ready for work the next day, I find myself wishing, just a little, that Stacey were here to help me with my makeup.It is not a thought I have ever had before.Still, once it enters my mind, I cannot seem to make it go away.I stare at myself in the mirror, taking in the tired woman staring back at me. My face looks more worn than it did a few weeks ago, and no matter how much sleep I get, I seem to wake up looking like I could use another eight hours.I reach for the makeup that Stacey gave me and hesitate.Maybe I should try.Just a little.I eventually give up after staring at everything for several minutes without knowing what half of it is supposed to do.Apparently, I am going to need Stacey's help after all.Getting dressed is not much easier.Normally, I find whatever shirt and pants are closest to the closet door, make sure they are clean, and throw them on. I have never cared much about what I wear. As long as it is comfortable and allows me to move freely, I am h
The Heir's Child Unloading
Mark is the first person we have ever invited into our home.I suppose that says more about Raven and me than anything else could.Neither of us has ever really seen the point of having people over before. We have always been perfectly content with our own company, and when we wanted to see someone, we simply went to them.Now, as we pull into the driveway after the baby shower, I suddenly feel oddly self-conscious.I have never been inside a human's home before, so I have no idea what Mark might expect when he walks through our front door.What if he notices something?Neither Raven nor I is human, and we have both brought pieces of our supernatural lives into this house. Nothing obvious. Nothing that should immediately raise suspicion.But someone as observant as Mark might notice things that another person would overlook.I find myself hoping he doesn't."You two really live out here in the middle of nowhere?" Mark asks as we all climb out of our vehicles."Why is that so surprisin
The Heir's Child Flashes
Flashes.That was all I had.Flashes of light.Flashes of voices.Flashes of movement just beyond my reach.Every time I tried to grasp one of the memories, it slipped away like water through my fingers.My head pounded.It felt as though someone had taken a hammer to my skull and then left the pie
The Heir's Child Future plans
Troy looked far too pleased with himself as we sat around sipping our drinks and talking about all the trouble we'd inevitably get into at college.I still couldn't believe everyone had decided to go.When Lyall and I first made our plans, I'd imagined the two of us facing a new world together. Som
The Heir's Child College Plans
"On a more serious note," Mel said, lifting his empty glass, "one of us has to go get the next round, don't we?"A collective groan went around the table.We all laughed at Mel's expression.His family was ridiculously wealthy. Not spoiled exactly, but definitely accustomed to convenience. If there
The Heir's Child Last Night Out
Knowing I wouldn't be allowed to leave until I promised to be careful, I gave my parents the reassurance they wanted before retreating to my room to finish getting ready.Most of my friends were guys, and I usually blended right in with them. Every now and then, though, I enjoyed reminding them tha
