After we finished, he said his goodbyes and left, promising to arrive first thing Monday morning.

We go in search of our mates, replaceing them outside, watching some of the pups running around the garden. I see Jeremy working on another structure not far from the garden.

“How did it go?” Grace asks as Liam pulls Angel into a hug.

“It’s good. Perry had some other ideas, and ways we can save money, but he’ll be back on Monday to get started.” I push my chin in the direction of Jeremy. ” What’s Jeremy building now? I thought he would be focusing on furniture or Hope’s crib.”

“Actually, while we were gone, Amber found a place that sells egg–laying hens. Autumn had a great idea about having our own hens of various ages and Amber searched for a place that has them. This way, we can have egg layers and allow some to mature so that we can start our own chicken coop. Then, eventually, we’ll have our own supply of eggs and chicken, making us more independently sustainable. But, before we can pick up the hens, we need a hen house. That’s where Jeremy comes in. He said he had what he needed to build it and it wouldn’t take more than a day.”

I look at my mate in wonder. “Hens?”

She smirks. “And maybe a rooster as well. We just needed to replace a place away from where most people shift. Noah is taking Autumn and I on Sunday afternoon. to get them.”

“You continue to amaze me, baby.”

Rik and Cara arrive before dinner, and I introduce them to our pack. Anders and Calista will arrive tomorrow morning. Anders will be presiding over our ceremonies.

Nearly my entire pack comes up to thank Liam and Rik for loaning us the money to rebuild. They talk about their plans, and I take the opportunity to replace out some of the storefronts that my pack would like to have. Since Noah will be taking the lead working with Perry during construction, I’ll give him my ideas of where we can put a ‘main street‘ with rows of shops on either side.

she still seems to enjoy the conversation and is able to relate to the ‘pregnancy hormones‘. Whatever that means. When I look at Grace, I can see and feel a little sadness in her. We haven’t had an opportunity to talk about having pups. We also haven’t had the money for condoms, so that conversation needs to happen sooner rather than later. If she wants to wait, maybe Sirona has some ideas for birth control options.

Later that night, when I’m curled around my mate, I ask her. “We’ve never had the pup conversation, baby. What are your thoughts? Do you want them?”

She’s quiet for a moment. “I do. I didn’t think I would, not with the direction my life was going. But with this life, with you, I definitely do.” She turns in my arms, putting her hand on my face. “But, would you be disappointed if I said I wanted to wait a bit? I’m young, so there’s no rush. But we have so much to do here, and I want to participate in the tournament, which I wouldn’t be able to do if I was pregnant. So, maybe we can start working on a pup after that?”

I rub my nose against my mate’s. “I think that’s a great idea. I definitely want to have pups with you, but now doesn’t feel like the right time. Would you be

comfortable talking to Sirona to see if we have any options for birth control, at least until I can make some money to afford condoms?”

She chuckles, turning back around, pressing herself into me. Goddess, I love this

Woman.

“I’ll talk to her this weekend.”
