“Open eyes, Mommy,” Lilly said and Jasmine opened her eyes.“What in the?” She trailed off seeing Onyx and Ashley in the yard with their manes all decorated.“I make pretty for prize,” Lilly beamed.“They are beautiful,” Jasmine smiled. “But what is going on?”“Follow Mommy,” Lilly giggled as she took a few steps forward while holding Jasmine’s hands. Jasmine smiled and followed Lilly down a path that she knew wasn’t there the day before. “Come on Mommy, come Daddies.” Onyx and Ashley walked along side the girls.She chuckled as she watched Lilly bounce with excitement. She gasped as she saw the trees were decorated with various colored lights and there was an archway with flowers woven through it at the entrance of the back field where she liked to ride Onyx, her favorite place.There at the archway were all four men with smiles on their faces as they watched Jasmine and Lilly approach with their horses at their sides. There was a man standing a few steps back with a knowing look on
“I swear I’m going to kill all of you,” Jasmine moaned as she pressed her head into Daemon’s chest.“I know, Baby,” Daemon forced back a smile as he held her up and gently swayed her.“Quit touching me, Asher,” She growled as he tried to massage her back. “This is all your fault!” He chuckled as he held his hands up in a surrender mode. “I hate you.”“I love you too, Babe,” he smiled as he took a few steps back.“Come on Trouble, the birthing tub is ready,” Raziel said drying his hands as he came into the room. “David and Lilly are taking Remiel, Dagon, and Leraye out riding until I call them.”“I hate all of you,” Jasmine moaned as she dug her nails into Daemon’s arms. “It hurts,” she pouted, “make it stop hurting.”“I’m sorry Babe,” Asher shook his head. “I would take the pain if I could.”“You would die,” She glared at him, “none of you could handle this.”“You’re right,” Raziel smiled softly. “That is why you are our goddess.”“Come on, Sweetheart,” Lucian said softly. “The water
“Thanks again Daemon,” Jasmine said as she wiped down the bar and grabbed her stuff. “That text just really creeped me out because I blocked his number, and he is still finding me.” “It’s not a problem,” he said as he looked around the empty bar. “I walk all the girls to their cars and have them text me when they get home, so I know they are safe.” “I know that but still,” she shrugged as she locked up and then sighed. “I just appreciate it.” “Of course,” He nodded as he walked her to her car. “When are you going to bring this by my shop so I can work on it?” “Why again are you working as a bouncer at this joint when you have your own mechanic shops with one of your three brothers or best friends? What are they to you again?” She asked as she looked in her bag for her keys. “Gives me something to do,” he shrugged. “I like to stay busy.” “Well, I’m glad,” she said as she unlocked her car. She tried starting it, but it wouldn’t start. “That’s strange,” She frowned, “I made sure I
“What?” She asked as she came out of the bathroom and walked over to where he was standing. “Oh that,” She smiled sadly. “My childhood best friend gave me that. He wore a matching one that he made. He was very talented.”“Do you still talk to him?” he asked curiously.“No,” She spoke sadly. “We were best friends from the time I was seven to like fourteen, I think. Then one night he and his mom were just gone. I never found out what happened, but I do think about him constantly.” She sighed sadly, “He helped me through some very dark times in my life. My parents weren’t the best, but he helped me through so much that I don’t know if I would be here if I didn’t have him in my life.”“Hey what’s going on in here?” Lucian asked coming over.“She was telling me about her childhood best friend that made and gave her this,” Daemon said pointing to the bracelet. “But the friend and his mom disappeared from her life one night.”Lucian forced back a gasp when he saw it. “What was his name?”She
“No what Father gibe me,” Lilly shook her head and Jasmine turned to look at her confused.“What did your father try to give you Lilly?” Jasmine asked trying to remain calm.“Slimy peabut bubber,” Lilly shook her head and Jasmine softly gasped.“Lilly, you didn’t eat it did you Baby Girl?” She asked kneeling down in front of her daughter. “Lilly, did you eat the peanut butter?”“No Mommy,” Iris shook her head and Jasmine’s smile lit up the room. Daemon and Lucian looked at each other intrigued. “I memer you say no eat peabut bubber. I no eat it. Father got mad me Mommy.”“I’m sorry Lilly, but I think he forgot you are allergic,” Jasmine kissed Lilly’s hands. “I’m so glad you remembered and didn’t eat it Baby Girl, you know what? I think this calls for ice cream for being such a big girl and remembering such an important thing. Will you go potty and wash your hands and I’ll go ask my friends to borrow their car since Mommy’s is being silly, please?”“Otay Mommy,” Lilly beamed and rushe
“Raze is making the food now but said we don’t have any ice cream,” Lucian said hanging up his phone. “I will head to the store and get some once I know what kind to get everyone.”“Whoa there Little One, who all do you have with you?” Asher asked as the spitting clone of Jasmine walked into the living room.“Gumby Bear, Pichu, Twhywhite Spakle, Spite,” she said nervously.“Dude, I love Pikachu and Grumpy Bear,” Asher smiled hugely. “I don’t know the other ones sorry, but I think it’s cool you have a dragon.”“That Spite,” She smiled shyly.“That’s Twilight Sparkle’s little dragon buddy Spike,” Jasmine smiled as she came into the room with a couple of backpacks. “I just need to get the meds from the kitchen, and I think we have everything for the night. Clothes, toothbrushes, brushes, her blanket…” She trailed off thinking. “Oh, I need to get her favorite cup also. Sweetie, why don’t you give me all your buddies and go get a couple of your movies? Daemon, Asher, and Lucian don’t have
“Wow,” She whispered when they pulled up to a large mansion. “You like?” Daemon asked and she nodded. “It’s beautiful, Daemon,” She whispered. “Mommy, berry lies,” Lilly gasped in awe. “I see the fairy lights,” Jasmine smiled softly as she got her daughter out of the car. “Raze likes to keep them up all year round,” Lucian smiled as he pulled the backpacks and ice cream out of the car while Asher grabbed the bags of movies and stuff animals. “Come on in,” Lucian smiled, “Home sweet home.” “Hey guys, finished just in time,” Raze said as he came out of the kitchen. “Who’s the little girl that loves chicken nuggies and French fries?” “Oh me!” Lilly beamed as she turned away from Jasmine’s chest to look at the six-foot four man with long black hair, olive skin, and bright blue shining eyes. “Dat me!” Jasmine looked up from looking at her daughter
“Promise?” She sniffled as she looked up at him with tears still streaming down her face. “Promise, promise,” He smiled sadly as he wiped them away. “I swear it.” He kissed her nose then chuckled as some tears got on his lips. “How do you know the guys anyway?” “I work for Daemon as a bartender,” She answered sniffled. “Well, I did, I don’t know about now with everything going on.” “We will discuss that later,” Raze said wiping her tears again. “Hey, sorry to bother you two,” Daemon said coming into the room. “Speaking of the devil,” Raze chuckled making her giggle. Daemon looked at them confused then shook his head, “Anyway, um, Little One ate five chicken nuggets and some fries and drank all her apple juice. Can she have that ice cream now?” “Chocolate chip cookie dough?” Raze asked and Daemon smirked. “Oh, she’s why that’s the only flavor you will
