It’s been six months since Grant and her mother have seen Stacey properly. They did go up for the open house day, two months ago. But it was too short and if anything, they just missed her more. The therapy was going well she was remembering more and more but she still referred to Stacey as the third person. Liz had explained that it was her last string to cut. She is apprehensive, so was finding it hard to let go of that final piece of Amber.They are together again, planning another video to send her. “We could do another baking video, let’s bake her some of the coconut squares that Stacey loved?” Grant suggests to her mother. They were sitting in the coffee shop near the entrance of her mother’s apartment. Grant had made the decision about four months ago to buy there too. He now lived in the third block of apartments, that was furthest away from the entrance of their gated community. But closer to the small lake, park and trails. He had become much closer to her mother

It is the emotions that linger far longer than the images. Liz has told her to just take it easy for the rest of the day getting to know her surroundings and settling into her room.She is allowed to do some off line work after breakfast for an hour. Then after that she will go to Liz before lunch, then break for lunch and then go to group therapy. Until mid-afternoon and then rest for an hour. They have dinner

As she remembers hitting the ground her hand goes up to her head and she feels the scar along her scalp.She looks at Grant wide eyed and her eyes roll back in her head as she passes out. She isn’t out long though. Just long enough for Grant to lower her to the floor and hold her to him. She blinks open her eyes “it was me, that was hit?” she questions, “Grant I want to go home, I need to talk to my mother?” she continues before he can say anything.“You aren’t feeling dizzy?” he asks her, she shakes her head no.

The tests show that her memories are slowly coming back. She is told to not stress over it too much, as there is no health problems to worry about.

She comes out a little later, looking refreshed, even wearing the clothes from yesterday. “I’ll grab a quick shower and then breakfast will be ready. You didn’t call your mum last night she might be worried?” he tells her. Amber smiles at him “I received a text from her saying she was going to go visit her sister. She’ll be back sometime next week.”Grant nods and goes to get his shower. Amber lays the table and makes them coffee. Grant is true to his word and is back just ten minutes later. They sit and have breakfast and then a thought hits Grant. How did she know where everything was? “Did you find everything okay?” he asks herAmber looks at him and then the table “I did thank you” she answers looking thoughtful. “So, if your mum isn’t about, you can spend another day with me?” G

Amber sends a text to Grant telling him she is home and about to take a soak in the tub. But her mother hasn’t dried the floor to well after having a shower and Amber slips banging her head again. She loses consciousness just for a short time. When she wakes up she picks up her phone and calls Grant.“Hi handsome, I think I just hit my head. But I’m alright, thought I’d give you a call just in case. How was your day?” Grant looks at his phone and frowns as it sounds like Stacey calling him. “Are you sure you’re alright?” he asks “don’t worry, maybe I shouldn’t have called you? It’s not like you could jump in the car and drive over. Sorry, my mistake. I’m going to take some pain killers for my headache and then I’ll have an early night. You have that meeting with the publishers so, you should get an ear

Once everyone is back and reassured the threat to their pack has gone. McKenzie tells them they will be having a cook out. “We are pleased to inform everyone that my mate is pregnant” McKenzie tells everyone having left the pack link open, so the people not there could also hear him. The mood of the pack instantly becomes much merrier. They all start to congratulate them. Both personally and over the link.They celebrate until long after the sun has gone down. There is music, dancing and much laughter, as the youngest run around and play with one another. McKenzie and River feel the happiness of the pack through the link. Which brings them much relief and happiness also.When they go back to their home in the early hours of the morning. McKenzie makes love to his mate very slowly.

McKenzie puts her down on a chair in the kitchen and then goes to the oven and takes out the stew. “How did you know the high council were going to turn up?” he asks her as he sits down beside her. “I got an image of three men in cloaks looking annoyed. They were outside the pack house. I asked Tom if he knew of any people that wore cloaks and he said the high council” River explains“High council on official business. I guess they heard of what happened to Dan’s coven. Well, we’ll deal with it when they turn up” McKenzie says rubbing her back for comfort. River looks at him and smiles “I thought once we dealt with the witches. We would be able to enjoy our life and I’d be able to sit down and think about, this little one we made. Now we have to deal with the high council! I can tell you Realm and I are a thin thread away from losing our shit!” River admits and McKenzie see’s Realm, flash into River’s eyes. Telling him that she will not allow anyone, even the high council to

McKenzie holds his sleeping mate. Really not wanting to leave her. But if he is leave here without being caught, he must. He kisses her head and goes to move his arms from around her. River wakes up, turns and looks at him sleepily.“Sorry love, I really need to go” he apologises. “Thank you, for staying with me. It is going to be a long day. I’ll leave our link open. I think it’s best if we don’t actually, see each other until after its all over. I hope it’ll be all over” River says. He kisses her and then gets up out the bed. “Go back to sleep love, it’s still early” he tells her.She watches him, pull on his clothes and then he comes and kisses her again before leaving. She tries to go back off to sleep again. She hugs McKenzie’s pillow to her face and breaths in his scent. It allows her to get another couple of hours sleep. Then it’s time for her to get up and put her game face back on.“Love, Dan’s wife has spent the night drinking and it drunkenly casting spells a

They wake in the morning, with a new sense of urgency and determination that they should end this as soon as they can. McKenzie calls Tom, Greg, and some of the other key pack members to their house. River is making breakfast. She started with sausages, then thought eggs would be nice. Started making toast and then also harsh browns in the end everyone had a full English breakfast with a plate of pancakes on the side.As they sit and eat around the table. McKenzie explains River’s plan. She doesn’t say much just concentrates on eating. “Greg, are you going to eat that sausage?” she asks “er” “thanks” River says taking it from his plate and biting half of it and then eating the rest. Greg looks at McKenzie who gives him one of his sausages, shaking his head to not say anything.“Are none of you having the pancakes?” she asks standing and getting the Nutella from the cupboard. They watch as she spreads it thickly onto a pancake and then pours syrup over it before rolling it and

River and McKenzie decided that a stir fry would be good enough for dinner. They put all the left overs in a pan and add some noddle’s, onion, garlic and pepper to it and let it simmer. While they go up to change. “Have you heard anything from the guard watching Bingo?” River asks “he has gone to the coast. Just staying in his hotel room” McKenzie tells her.“He could be just waiting it out or be giving instructions via phone calls” River guesses, then looks at her stomach as it rumbles. The food can now be smelt, up in their room. “It should be ready soon” McKenzie says putting his arms around her and placing his large hands over her little bump.“You have to promise me, you won’t do anything that will put you or our child at risk! I can’t lose you River” he tells her kissing her neck and breathing deeply as he tries to calm himself. “You too” she says turning in his arms and hugging him.Her stomach rumbles again “I only had breakfast and then some of Nancy’s muffins” River

River is full of questions. Didn’t they take precautions during her heat? She is meant to be able to only get pregnant when she is in heat, right? Is she ready to be a parent? How do you explain to your child that their patents have an age gap of nearly 80 years? Will McKenzie get up and take turns, doing nappy changes? She could get a breast pump and make him do his share of the feeding too. How is she meant to run a company while pregnant? What does it mean to be pregnant as a shifter? They’ll need to baby proof all three homes. What if she’s a terrible mother? She wishes her mother were still alive. Is McKenzie going to still want her, when she’s fat? She is just having one pup and not a litter? All these things run through her mind as she drives out of the city and towards the pack.“River, relax everything is going to be fine” Realm assures her. “Fine for you to say, you’re not the one that has to push them out? Or can you? I’ll shift allow you to give birth to the
