Amelia’s pov

them for years they suddenly feel like they’re not mine.

I swipe down my palm nervously down the material of my yellow dress. The clothes feel foreign. Even though I’ve worn

“Are you sure you want to go down for breakfast?” Raiden asked as his palm press gently to the middle of my back.

I nod slowly, my heart racing. “I am sure,” I answered as nervous butterflies swarm in my belly.

My pulse quickens.

❤❤

Raiden tucked his finger under my chin and gently turns my head to face him. His eyes, they’re very telling of his emotions

for me. Adoration.

“You don’t have to do anything you’re not ready for baby,” he says gently, pinching my chin softly. And I knew that but what

was the point of still hiding?

“I know,” I smile softly and then with a deep breath I head for the door with him very close beside me. The hallways seem

longer than they were before and as I near the top stair, the sounds coming from downstairs made me halt.

Quiet voices, the clinking of plates….my stomach knots. “It’s just my parents and a few friends you know from school,”

Raiden says softly beside me. “Damon and Lester.”

I’m still stiff beside him and take in a deep breath when his fingers interlock with mine, grounding and calming me.” You’re in control here spitfire,” he gives my hand a firm squeeze.

Raiden’s words give me enough comfort and boost to take that leap and walk down those stairs with him holding me. As

soon as we entered the kitchen, everyone quieted down and turn to stare at us.

I stop in the doorway, my heart racing.

The last time I saw any of them was the day I found out who they were.

Raiden’s mom is the first to crack the tension, grinning from ear to ear. “Amelia sweety, so glad to see you’ve joined us.”

Damon snorted. “Yea Raiden finally stopped trying to get her pregnant,” he joked, causing Lester to smack the back of his head and for Raiden to shoot him a glare.

“Damon!” Raiden’s mom scowled yet had a small smile on her lips. I flushed beet red.

“What? Your son has been acting like a caveman,” Damon continues to joke. “I’m surprised Amelia can still walk after-

“Damon!” Raiden growls in warning and Damon lifts his hands up in surrender.

“Fine fine fine, I’ll stop. Damon grumbles and then snorts,

“Ignore him,” Raiden squeezes my hand tighter. “He’s an idiot.”

“Heard that!” Damon call from his seat beside the kitchen island

“You were supposed to you buffoon!” Raiden shoots back.

This time despite the flush of heat on my cheeks and the embarrassment weighing heavy in my body, I cracked a smile

“Come on Amelia,” Emily said, motioning me for me to come forward. “Come have some breakfast, I’m sure you’re famished.”

Damon snorted. “I’m sure she is,”

Lester who sat beside him kicks out his foot, jabbing it in his ribs and causes him to fall off the stool with a loud thump. ” Sorry didn’t see you there,” Lester spoke. It was so rare to hear his voice.

“You little-

Damon started but Raiden’s dad cuts in. “You two go let loose outside, not in

mate’s kitchen.”

Damon grumbles something under his breath and Lester nods at Bryson. With a humph Damon gets up. “Fine,” he grumbles as he follows Lester out the back door leading up to the yard.

The moment they were gone the little tension in the air eased slightly as Emily smiles at me warmly and motions for me to come forward. “Hope you’re hungry,”

“I am,” I say shyly,

5kful that there

was nothing awkward between us since our last caz

Bryson leads me to one of the stools and Emily passes the plate over. The scent of the scrambled eggs and bacon made my stomach grumble loudly which caused everyone to laugh and for me to become flush.

“Looks like you’re indeed hungry,” Bryson jokes, wrapping an arm around Emily’s mid section. For a moment I stare at them, watch how lovingly he stares down at his wife.

My eyes on their own slide over to Raiden and my breath catches in my throat when I notice he was staring at me with the same look his dad was staring at his mom with. Love.

My belly grumbles once more and Raiden chuckles beside me. “Eat up spitfire,” he grabs the fork and forks it through some scramble eggs before bringing it to my mouth.

As my lips wrapped around it, footsteps echoed behind us across the wooden floors. “Giovanni, I didn’t think you’d come this early,” Bryson’s voice was filled with tension the second he noticed I froze mid chew.

“It couldn’t wait,” he utters behind us as I feel his stare burn on my back.

Bryson’s brows furrowed but it’s Emily who speaks up. “What couldn’t wait?”

I can hear when Giovanni takes a step forward. “I needed to make sure myself.”

Bryson brow raised and Raiden grows stiff beside me. “What is going on Giovanni? What couldn’t wait and couldn’t be said through the mind link?”

“Amelia was home last night.” Giovanni utters as if he himself couldn’t believe his very own words.
