Lorenzo

I leaned in, my lips brushing against Eva's in a tender kiss. She let out a soft laugh, her eyes sparkling with joy.

"What are you doing?" she teased, her voice filled with warmth.

I rubbed her stomach gently, my voice brimming with love and affection. "Baby, please come fast. Your dad is waiting for you."

Eva's smile widened, lighting up the entire room. Just then, her phone beeped, signaling a new message.

Peering over her shoulder, I saw that it was a message from the Wild Song pack members. I couldn't help but grin as I read the heartfelt words expressing how much they missed her and longed to see her again.

"They've invited you to the pack," I said, my voice laced with excitement.

Eva looked up at me, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. "Should I go?"

I chuckled softly. "Is that even a question? Of course, you should go. But don't worry, I'll be right there with you."

Eva nodded, relief washing over her as she realized she wouldn't have to face the pack alone.
