Chapter 213 

“I’m not sure what’s going on with Lottie, but I want you to know that I am so incredibly happy about this pup. And while I can see why it would be easy to doubt my words, after what Lottie has said I’m going to let you in on a little secret.” I pull my finger away from 

her lips and rest my hand on her hip as she nods for me to continue. 

Today, hours before I guessed that you were pregnant, I was thinking about us and pups. Something happened, I can’t remember what it was exactly, but for some reason, the desire to have pups with you just hit me out of nowhere. I realized that I wanted them with you so badly and, after years of assuming that I wouldn’t ever have any more children, it was a shock, but in no way did I regret thinking it. 

In fact, I was planning on talking to you about it once things had calmed down. Then, after I started putting all of your symptoms together and convinced myself that you were pregnant, I couldn’t wait to get up here and see you. I want pups with you, Bonine, and more than anything, I want this pup with you.” I place my hand on her stomach and gently rub as, finally, finally, a smile appears on her 

beautiful face. 

“Do you mean that? Because I don’t expect you to just accept that I’m pregnant. I would understand. I promise, I would.” I nod my head as I try my best to give her a reassuring smile. “I know you would understand darling, but you don’t need to, because I’m not going anywhere and neither are you. We are having this pup together and raising it together. And do you know what’s amazing about you being pregnant? Aside from the actual pup, of course.” 

“What’s that?” She asks, still smiling at me. “This time I get to experience every part of having a baby. With Lottie, I never got to experience any of the pregnancy or birth. I never got to see her first three years of life. I missed the first time she crawled. I missed her first words, first steps. The first song that she sang. I missed it all, and I can’t wait to experience all of it this time. And I promise that I will be there every step of the way.” Her smile gets even wider, and then I feel the sparks of our bond as she places her hand over mine and a single tear runs down her cheek. 

“Why are you crying, baby?” She swiftly wipes the tear away before letting out a little breath. “Ignore me, pregnancy hormones. I’m sorry that you never got to experience any of that with Lottie, but I promise that I won’t take a single moment away from you. I want you 

there for everything.” 

“And I will be.” I cup her cheek and bring her face in close to mine so that I can kiss her with all I have and that’s exactly what I do, as by the time we pull apart we are both out of breath. “How about we go and find Lottie and figure out what is going on and once that is done we can come back up here and celebrate our news in private.” She nods her head seeming more than happy with my suggestion, although I have a feeling her happiness is more at the latter idea rather than the Lottie part. 

Once I help her up from my lap, I take her hand and guide her through our floor and down the stairs. Dinner time is just finishing up, so Lottie should still be in there or if not, she should be close by. She always stays in the hall until dinner is finished because she likes to hang out with my brothers, so it’s perfect timing for me to find her. 

The closer we get to the hall, the more my anger starts to resurface. She had better have a good explanation for what was going through her head earlier on and what made her think that it was ok to speak to Bonine as she did, or she’s in for a world of shit.

The moment we come to a stop outside of the dinner hall, I feel the pulse in my neck start to pound as my nerves increase at

lightning speed until I’m back to shaking. “Hey guys. Robbie’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts, but clearly, I’m not quick enough to hide how I feel from my face as his happy smile quickly turns to that of worry and confusion and I feel had that I’ve caused that. 

“What’s going on? Is everything OK?” He looks between Nick and me, but I remain quiet, hoping that Nick will take the reins and thank the goddess he does. He gives Robbie a quick rundown of what happened and a look of confusion quickly appears on his face. “Why 

would she do that? I don’t get it!” 

“That makes the three of us,” Nick grunts. “Is she in there? We need to talk to her and figure this out,” He asks Robbie while pointing at the door. Robbie nods and follows us as Nick pulls me through the door. Lunch is now technically over and the hall is basically empty. 

Aside from Nick’s parents, Shane and Lottie, the place is empty and the moment that Lottie spots us, the colour drains from her face, and she looks instantly worried and, despite how she acted towards me, I still hate to see her like this. The need to protect her runs deep in my veins, but this, what happened, can’t be brushed aside and forgotten about because there could be a reason behind it that needs dealing with and if there is, then I want to know, and I want to help if I can. 

Nick storms into the hall holding my hand as he pulls me behind him and, while I can’t see his face, I’m guessing that it isn’t good, as his dad stands up instantly on guard while his mom looks worried. “Son, what’s going on?” His dad asks as he goes to step around the tablet. “You can sit down, Dad. It’s Lottie that I’m here to see.” 

He sounds calmer than he did just a few minutes ago, which is good. I know Nick and, despite how angry he is right now, he’s a good dad and will give Lottie a chance to explain before letting any of his anger out. 

“Lottie, why? What’s happened?” He asks as he turns his attention to a worried–looking Lottie. “Are you OK, darling?” She gives him a small smile, but not one person in this room can miss the guilt that’s covering her face. 

“Would you care to tell your grandparents and uncles what the problem is, Lottie?” Despite Lottie being her name. Nick very rarely calls her that. Sweetheart, pumpkin, baby girl. They are the usual names that he calls her. Lottie is usually reserved for when she’s in trouble and everyone in her family knows it. “Oh dear girl, what have you done?”
