Beauty and the Beast

Chapter 31

Shopping went fairly quickly because Alina and Leah had everything pre ordered and she wouldn't let me see a thing as she, Leah, and Katrina bolted in the house with bags full of everything.

Alina was pretty much healed now, much to my surprise.

She told Daniel about her pregnancy and to say he was excited was an understatement.

He had Alina on his lap as we all ate, one hand splayed across her stomach.

I smiled down at Kieran as we ate, myself perched on his knee due to all our extra guest who ate in various places around our home.

"How's the wedding plans?" I asked aloud as Kieran chewed.

He leaned back with a grin as his eyes found mine, humor alight in them as he stared at me.

I knew I wasn't going to get a word from him.

I gave an innocent grin and pecked his lips as I twisted myself in his lap so we were face to face.

"Nice try, Charlie babe." Kieran said as he stared down at my lips. I watched as he leaned in his lips nearly brushing mine, but I pulled back as I wrapped my arms around his neck loosely and let my weight lean back as he was forced to grip me tighter.

Kieran's eyebrows went up, and he smirked in disbelief at my playful refusal.

I stared into his hazel eyes, watching as they burned with amusement and a hint of lust.

I smiled and brought my lips to his, kissing him softly before pulling away. I still couldn't believe how I felt when I was with him.

"I love you, Kieran." I said as I rested my head against his chest.

The answer I received was one I loved. Kieran pressed his lips against my forehead in a tender kiss.

I turned when I heard Willow's familiar screech as her guards brought her down the stairs as she laughed. I was thankful that they had taken a liking to her and they enjoyed their task, albeit how serious it was.

I thanked them as I took her and she gleamed as she caught sight of Kieran, much like other most females did much to my dismay, but Willow's look was innocent and warm, there's not so much.

"Whoooooo's the prettiest pup in all the land?

With eyes of baby blue...

Who laughs and wiggles,

and always giggles,

and is happy as can beeee?

She's the one and only,

who loves guacamole,

the one and only, Willow!

The one and only, Willow!" I sang aloud.

She giggled loudly as she clapped her hands together at the song we had made up weeks ago. She was

"You know, we should have another one." Kieran said with a grin as he pulled me closer against him.

"You know, I'm the one that becomes the size of a house. And until things settle down, I think we should wait. Especially with that redhead bit- , girl and whatever she's planning." I said changing my words with Willow in my arms.
