Epilogue

Anna and Christian held hands as they stood in front of his parents' home. Christian asked everyone to meet at his parents' house to discuss something important. Anna told him that he probably started a fire in everyone's mind, but it was too late to change anything now. She knew everyone, but Carrick would sense the little one inside her, but they couldn't show any reaction to it until Anna officially said she was pregnant. She bit her lip.

Grace opened the door and smiled at Anna and Christian. Grace's face went slack for a moment, then her eyes lit up with joy. She had sensed the baby's heartbeat. Grace rushed towards Anna, hugged her and started to tear up.

"I know, I'm so happy," whispered Anna.

"Oh, this is wonderful," said Grace.

Grace let go of Anna and turned to hug her eldest son. Christian hugged her back.

"Is this the news," asked Grace?

"Yes," he said.

Grace pulled away from her son and stepped back to let them into her home. She quickly whipped her tears so she wouldn't make Carrick wonder what happened. Grace knew Anna and Christian would make the announcement quickly.

Mia rushed toward Anna and gave her and hug. Christian glared at his sister. Mia pulled back just as quickly and covered her mouth.

"Mia…" warned Christian.

"Right, wow, this is so great!"

"What is," asked Carrick?

Carrick stood by his for a moment to comfort her; she looked a little upset.

Mia snapped her mouth shut and sat down on the couch. Elliot shook his head. His little sister was a mess.

Elliot gave Christian a handshake and Anna a quick hug.

"Congratulations," whispered Elliot.

"So, what's this all about," asked Carrick pleasantly, but firmly?

Christian wrapped his arm around Anna's shoulder and placed one hand on her stomach. Mia and Grace instantly started crying. Finally, they could show how they felt. Elliot smiled. Carrick looked down at his son's hand and back up at Anna and Christian.

"Anna's pregnant," asked Carrick?

Mia and Grace rushed toward Anna, but Anna took a step back. She didn't' know if her child had powers yet and she wanted to make sure to protect it. Grace and Mia. apologized and gently walked towards her and hugged her. Anna was starting to become overwhelmed by all of the attention. Christian smiled at all of the women he loved. When he turned back to his father, Carrick did not look pleased.

"Son, can I talk to you for a moment," asked Carrick?

The room went quiet. Did Carrick disapprove of the baby?

"Relax everyone, I just want to talk to my son. I'm happy for you two."

Carrick walked out to the back yard and Christian followed behind him. Christian focused on keeping his emotions in check. Christian did his best to be the perfect son, but if his father said anything negative about Anna or their unborn child, he may lose that title.

"Is something wrong, dad," asked Christian?

His father turned to face him.

"Of course not. I just never thought you would be the one to have a kid like this. Do you plan to marry her?"

Christian visibly relaxed. His father just wanted to make sure Christian was going to be responsible.

"Yes, we plan to be married before the baby is born. I'll have a more public wedding later."

Christian didn't care how the public would view him or Anna; he only cared about his family's opinion.

"I hope your mother and I are invited," said Carrick in a grave tone.

Christian almost shivered as well. His mother would hunt him down in her wolf form and give him a good bite on the leg if he eloped. No, Christian knew better than to have a wedding without his mother.

Carrick and Christian walked back inside, both of the men stopped in their tracks when they saw everyone sitting down on the couch or a nearby chair silently waiting for their return. Grace made a tight smile.

"Is everything alright, sweetheart," asked Grace?

Carrick wanted to hide behind his son, but he stood his ground. It was obvious that his private conversation did not sit well with his wife. He planned to make up for his mistake later. Carrick smiled and pat Christian on the back.

"Everything is fine, I was just giving him the talk."

"Well it's a little late for that, dad," said Mia.

Everyone laughed. Christian looked at Anna as she sat on the couch next to Grace and walked toward her. Anna had returned to the shy girl he met in his office. He knelt down in front of her.

"Anna, I want everyone here to know how much I love you," said Christian.

Anna eyes started to tear up; Christian kissed her in front of everyone. Elliot and Mia looked at each other, they had never seen Christian like this before. Anna was truly his soulmate. Christian stood, brought Anna up with him and held her at his side.

"I never thought this would happen for me; I love her so much."

Anna started to tear up again. She felt the baby move as well. It was still very small, but she assumed she would be more in touch with her child than most mothers since she was part Fae.

"I love you too, Christian."

Christian gave her another quick kiss.

"Get a room," said Mia.

Christian gave Mia a look, Mia did not care in the slightest.

"Dinner will be ready soon, let's all go to the dinning room," said Grace; she was starting to tear up again.

As everyone else walked toward the dinning room. Anna and Christian took their time and followed behind them.

I love you too, mommy and daddy…

Anna kept walking, for now, she couldn't tell Christian what had happened. Not everyone knew about Anna's other side. She knew Christian would be happy to know that their child was already so full of love.

Thanks for reading! I wanted to write this part to show the aftermath of the pregnancy. The baby will grow faster than normal and is already developing. I do not plan to write a whole 3rd novel, but I may write a novella in the future about their lives at this point.

As always, I appreciate your reviews, comments and constructive criticism. Love you guys! Thank you so much for reading my work and your reviews.
