Preparation for war was exhausting. Vincent had me training with the pack and on top of that practicing all the spells I could remember.

Kyle and Liam fought with Morrisey, who wanted to join along on the mission.

"For the last time I'm coming whether you like it or not! Aquarius can you please explain how dangerous the ocean is?"

He said looking at me with eyes pleading for help. I sighed and closed my spell book.

"Kyle, Liam. I know you guys want to keep your new mate safe- but Morrisey is right. The ocean is no joke- you live to survive each day unharmed. Plus, Morrisey is a Mish. You haven't seen what they can do..."

I said shuddering at the image of a creature with razor sharp claws and man-eating teeth. Those things were just like sharks. Incredibly strong and had a taste for blood.

Liam's eyes watered and he ran out of the room making Kyle sigh. He looked at me and frowned.

"Ignore him, he's pregnant."

I gasped and dropped the book in my hand.

"Really?! MORE babies?!"

I said extremely happy. He rolled his eyes at me and chased after his upset mate. Morrisey sighed and flopped onto the couch.

"Do you miss the ocean?"

He asked after a minute or two of silence. I frowned and closed the book I had just started to read again. I looked at the upset Mish. He had a frown on his face and seemed tired.

"Every single day, but I would give it up anytime if it meant being with my mate."

I said looking at him. He nodded and still looked unhappy.

"What's the matter?"

I asked him. He looked at me and sat up.

"It's just, life is so difficult up here. They are so many rules, customs, regulations! I am just not used to it. Down under it was just stay alive and be with your tribe. That is, it. Everyone was straight to the point and just wanted to make it to see another day. Life was good, you had your tribe, contributed to it, and created a family. Here it is like everyone sees you different- they think only certain people can do certain things and your given certain roles. You are judged on the way you look and act, and your position in the pack makes you better than some people. I mean god, if anyone saw my true form they would freak- call me ugly and a monster. I just miss the freedom I had underwater, I miss being able to be me. I do not want to live my life with my mates trying to shelter me even though I have fought great white sharks and man-eating fish. It makes me feel trapped."

He said looking defeated. I was about to respond when another voice stopped me.

"Is that really how you feel?"

Morrisey's eyes widened and he turned around to see Kyle and Liam. Kyle was the first to speak up.

"You're right. We did not take into consideration on where you came from. We did not think about how hard this might be for you and for that I am sorry. I just want you to be kept safe, but also, I want you to be happy. Happy with us."

Liam nodded and looked close to tears again. At that cue, I left them to have some privacy. I decided to go check on Ben and see how the twins were doing. I stopped by the kitchen and picked up some fresh baked cookies and made my way down to the hospital ward.

Inside laid a much better-looking Louis and Lucas.

"Hey! I brought something for you both!"

I said making their eyes widen and a smile break out into their face.

"Oooo! What! What!"

Said Lucas. He still had an IV in his arm and lots of different medications going in, but he looked 10x better than when the explosion happened. Louis on the other hand seemed a lot better. Thankfully, nothing serious was pierced but the ten nails- but he did have some slight internal bleeding that they were able to patch up. Now he just had to heal.

"Cookies!"

I said making both of them clap. I gave them two each and set the tray in between the beds on a small nightstand.

"How are you doing?"

I asked Ben who was sitting reading a book. He smiled up at me.

"A lot better than before. They think we will be able to go home in a week. They are going to do a blood fusion on Lucas tomorrow since we got extremely sick last night. They are hoping the alpha blood will fight off the wolfsbane. Louis just needs to heal; it's taking a bit longer since of how young he is."

Said Ben rubbing his stomach. I looked down and smiled.

"Have you seen the doctor yet?"

I asked putting a hand on his flat stomach. He nodded and smiled.

"Yes, Michael wanted to go before he leaves tomorrow. He wanted to know the gender... Just in case. You know?"

He said losing the smile he once hand. I frowned and lifted his chin.

"Everything will be fine. Before you know it Michael and you will be in this very room as you curse him out and tell him he is never touching you again."

I said laughing at the end as he smiled.

"So, what's the gender?"

I asked happily. He smiled at me and held his stomach.

"A baby girl."

I shrieked and giggled scaring the twins.

"Sorry, sorry!"

They grumbled and turned their attention back to the hospital TV. Ben and I spoke for a bit before I decided I should go back to studying spells.

"Feel better guys!"

I said to the twins who waved bye to me. I walked to the Alpha suite and went to the bedroom where Vincent was.

"Hey love!"

He had seemed to have just gotten out of the shower. He smiled and pulled me on top of him kissing my lips gently.

"I missed you."

He whispered nipping my ear, causing me to moan. He went down my neck kissing and sucking cause a tingle to spread over my little me area. I panted and laid my hands on his chest, wondering how this got hot so fast. When he pulled at my nipple I went to his ear and whispered

"Show me how much you missed me baby..."
