Wrong Turn, Right Path

Chapter 16 Nate's POV

He took a deep breath and lifted his head and looked deep in her eyes. "I'm so sorry I treated you that way. I could give you all the reasons I did it but at the end of the day it all boils down to me being scared. It terrified me seeing you so hurt. To see how fragile you were because you're human. But that afternoon I had a dream, actually we had a dream." He said tilting his head in my direction. "We've been having shared dreams regarding our mate since we turned 16 but this was the first time we'd ever seen her face, your face."

"We saw Maddie too before we even knew you had a daughter. We thought she was ours seen as how she looks just like us." I added so she knew that it wasn't just a fantasy of ours.

"I knew it then and there that you were meant to be with us." Nick said

"What was this profound dream about that had the power to completely change your mind?" She asked skeptically.

Nick took a deep breath and started telling her, "I was standing outside our pack house watching the sunrise over the mountains. I was amazed at how it was sparkling on the dew like millions of diamonds had been sprinkled across the grass. Then you walked up behind me and wrapped your arms around my waist."

"And I kissed you between the shoulder blades." She said in a small voice her eyes locked on his.

Nick's eyes got so wide and his head snapped to me and we looked back at Jemma. "What else did you see in your dream?" I asked. Is it possible that she was part of this shared dream?

She took a deep breath "Well after I kissed Nick's back he pulled me around to standing in front of him and he.." The blush that flooded her cheeks heated her skin under my palm.

"I kissed you, thoroughly and completely until I felt a weird movement between us." Nick said

She laughed "Your face was so shocked when you looked at my belly. I would guess I was probably about 7 or 8 months along based on how big I was."

"That's when I walked up with Maddie, she had picked a daisy for you from the garden but dropped it in her rush to jump into Nick's arms." I added with a smile.

"I was in shock at how beautiful our little girl was." Nick said smiling.

"She asked if we could go on a family run. She wanted to ride on Nick's back and you were going to ride on mine." I said smiling when I thought of what she said in the dream. Judging by the flush of her skin she was thinking about what she said as well. "Do you remember what you said to me Beautiful?" I asked her tugging her hand slightly.

She smiled and looked at me and said "I asked if you would like me to ride you later." I could tell she was a little embarrassed even though it was obvious now that we all had the same dream. Then she asked "Do you remember how you answered me?"

I leaned in closer until I could see the different colors of green in her eyes the ring of gold that surrounded her pupils. "Of course I do. I said you're welcome to ride me any time, any where, and for any reason you want." Her heart rate picks up but I think it is for an entirely different reason than before. I kissed her forehead but nothing else because at this point I don't think I could stop with just kissing her but I couldn't help getting a little taste before I sat back up.
