Luna (COMPLETED)- Eldred Series Bk 2

CHAPTER 16

Three weeks after Pierce came home flew by quickly. Cordelia's stomach grew to the size of what a pregnant lady would look like when they're about four or five months along with twins. It wasn't big yet, but it was starting to get there. Pierce had told Cordelia to take it easy because the pack doctor said in about two months, Cordelia would be going into labor.

Cordelia had visited Anna and her twins a lot in the three weeks because she had nothing better to do. She told Anna about Pierce proposing and how she was always tired and emotional. "Well he didn't have to propose. Everyone knows your mates since he marked you." Anna told her.

Cordelia shrugged as she twirled the ring around her finger. "Yeah. I told him that. I said that we didn't need to have anything big. But he proposed and insists that he wants our friends and family to celebrate with us on our togetherness." Cordelia said and looked down at the ring. It was a little loose on her finger but it wasn't bad. It wasn't big enough for it to fall off by itself but big enough for someone to pull off.

"So, you said Pierce has a brother?" Anna asked. Cordelia nodded. "So do you think he'll invite him and his mate?" Anna asked. Cordelia shrugged. "From what I could tell when his brother visited, other than him being a little mean to me, him and Pierce had a bad past. Where apparently he left because their father found out he liked guys. Pierce doesn't seem like he accepts the excuse Ivan was trying to give."

"What was the excuse?" Anna asked. "Apparently when their father found out Ivan was gay, at first he let Ivan stay because Pierce needed someone to look up to. But then after a while, their father told Ivan to either get out or die because he didn't want the pack to be run by a gay guy." Cordelia sighed. Anna rolled her eyes. "Talk about homophobia." Anna huffed. "Mama, mama!" Isabelle's voice called. Five seconds later, Isabelle and Alexander stumbled into the room.

They were already almost the size of two year olds. "What my loves?" Anna asked as she picked them up. "Izzy stole my teddy bear and wont give it back." Alexander cried and tried reaching over to Isabelle who had a small stuffed teddy in her hands. "It's my teddy, Alex! Yours has a purple bow. Mine's got the yellow!" Isabelle told him.

Cordelia couldn't help but laugh at their twin fights. It was so cute. For two kids who were just born three weeks ago, they had fairly good vocabulary. Granted werewolf kids grow rapidly and so do their brains for the first couple of weeks until they're about the size of 4 or 5 year olds. Then they start to grow like human kids."No. Mine's the one with the yellow bow, Izzy!" He sniffled. Anna rolled her eyes.

"Listen to me, young ones. It doesn't matter what color bow the dang teddy has. One of you choose one teddy and the other gets the other one. Iz, give me that bear, Alex go get the other one." Anna said and opened her hand for Isabelle to set the bear while Alexander jumped down from her lap and quickly got the other one. She set Isabelle on her feet while Alexander came back with the other one. Anna gently grabbed it from him and switched the bears in between her hands behind her back a few times. "Iz, what hand?" Anna asked her daughter. Isabelle pointed to her right hand and Anna handed her the purple bowed bear.

"Aw, man. Purple." Isabelle sighed. Anna gave Alexander the yellow bowed one. "Well I can take them both away and neither of you get teddy's to sleep with. Now stop fighting and go play like civilized little beings." Anna said as she tried ushering them back to their room. "Mama? What does civilized mean?" Isabelle asked. "It means no fighting, Iz. Duh." Alexander stuck his tongue out. "Alexander Christian." Anna warned.

Cordelia rubbed her tummy and wondered if her children would fight like that. It's not like it wasn't cute and funny. But it be hard if she had twins. Anna came out two seconds later from their room and sat on the couch. "Have you and Pierce picked out baby names?" Anna asked. "We picked out girl names. But we haven't picked out any boy names." Cordelia said. "What are the girl names?" Anna asked. "We picked three. Melody Grace, Alexandria Jane, and Rosalia Elizabeth. I kinda have three boys names in mind but I have to run them across Pierce."

"What d'you have in mind for boy names?" Anna asked, intrigued. "Grayson James, Mekhi Ellington, and Blaze Thomas." Cordelia said. Anna furrowed her eyebrows. "Mekhi?" She asked. "It's I think Hebrew for Michael. It's some translation from a language to Michael. I just thought it was a good name for a boy."

Cordelia looked up at the clock on Anna's wall and it read 5:30pm. "I should probably get home. Pierce is probably stressing. I can feel a sense of stress." Cordelia teased as she stood up. "Well I'll see you later then." Anna said as she stood up and hugged Cordelia bye before she left.
