The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 207

Jane

Of all the things I expected to find when I came home today, Paisley, Ethan and his fated mate were just about the last things on my list. I’m so stunned when I see my ex-husband that it takes me a moment to realize that Paisley is buried beneath her siblings on the floor. It’s not until I hear her muffled voice crying, “Mommy!” that I’m able to pull my attention away from her father.

“Paisley?” I respond hopefully, feeling my heart immediately leap into my throat. After a moment her little head appears, and her eyes widen when she sees my round belly.

“Mommy you’re tummy’s ginormous!” She exclaims. She’s not the only one who seems preoccupied with it. Ethan is staring at my belly too – as if he’s never seen a pregnant she-wolf before. I try my best to ignore him, instead lowering myself to the ground to take Paisley into my arms.

“I know, angel.” I laugh, pulling my daughter close as soon as she’s within reach. “You should have seen me when I had all four of you inside me. I was like a giant, inflatable beach ball!”

Paisley giggles, and I can’t help but notice that Parker, Ryder and Riley are climbing all over Ethan. I’m amazed, because the last time we were all together they didn’t want anything to do with him. I’m not sure how I feel about this I want my children to be happy, I want them to have a loving father figure. The problem is that I don’t trust Ethan not to turn on them when the chips are down..

The baby kicks as if it can sense its long lost sister is in my arms, and Paisley gasps in shock.

Mommy, your tummy kicked me!”

“That’s the baby saying hello.” I share, so happy to have her with me again that I could cry.

Ethan still hasn’t stopped watching us, and now his eyes are so wide I wonder if he’s in shock too.

Though I don’t know why he’d be in shock, I’m the one who’s been blindsided here. “I’m so happy to see you.” I tell Paisley, kissing her beloved little face, “but what are you doing here?”

“We just thought we were overdue for a visit”

Ethan answers, rising to his feet and reaching for the woman I’ve been trying very hard to avoid noticing so far, “Jane this is Nina. Nina, meet Jane.”
