“We’re going to have a baby.”
“Yes. Someday.” I pushed against his shoulders but he wouldn’t set me down.
“No, soon. You’re pregnant.”
“What?” When my feet finally hit the ground, I immediately touched my tummy. “What are you talking about?”
“When I was you,” Bo started with the biggest smile on his face, “I felt it. I felt our baby.”
“Bo, you’re crazy. Don’t you think I would know if I was pregnant?” I pressed a little harder on my stomach. When was my last period?
He was shaking his head and bouncing on his feet. “You might. But I definitely did. It was like the baby called out to me or something.”
“Bo, if there’s a baby inside of me, it’s like the size of a lima bean right now.” Was I really pregnant?
“I still felt it.”
“Is that even possible?”
“Go buy a test while I meet with my brothers. Then we’ll know for sure.”
But even as those words left his mouth, I knew he was right. Surprised that I hadn’t sensed it before, I now felt...something. Not like something moving inside, but an energy that I somehow hadn’t noticed yet. I didn’t need to go to the store for a pregnancy test. Bo was right.
We were going to have a baby.
I covered my mouth and felt the tears brimming in my eyes. “Oh my, god,” I said for the millionth time today.
Bo picked me up again and squeezed me tight enough that I lost my breath. “This is so exciting! I love you so much, Kenzie. I can’t wait to have a little grizzly running around.”
“A grizzly witch,” I added.
“Is that possible?”
With a shrug, I kissed his lips. “Maybe. But hey, don’t say anything to them outside yet. Let’s wait until after the wedding, okay?”
His dimples reappeared, along with the smirk. “So, you don’t want everyone knowing that we did it before our wedding night, huh?”
“I think that ship has sailed,” I teased. “Let’s just wait until we’re sure everything is all right.”
Understanding passed over his face and he hugged me close. “I love you, my little witch.”
“I love you, too.”
And as Bo held me tightly in his arms, I didn’t think I’d have any more room in my heart to love a baby as much as I loved him. But I knew that wasn’t true—it was just hard to imagine right now. Bo and I were going to be parents. Bo and I were going to start a family together.
I smiled at my mate as he bounded outside and wondered how I’d gotten so lucky.
You can read more about Bo and Kenzie in Catching the Bear (Book 3 of The Callaghan Clan). Each of my books are stand-alone novels but are part of a greater series. The suggested reading order for these characters is: Obeying the Bear, Releasing the Bear, Catching the Bear, Lured by the Bear, Tempted by the Tiger, Caught by the Cougar, Desired by the Bear, Wanted by the Wolf, and Charmed by the Cougar. You can also catch glimpse of the brothers in The Vampire Huntress series and the upcoming Shifters of Eagle Creek series
