Next up was a game about Blake and Niev. Everyone had to answer questions such as who picked the names. The third game wouldn’t have a winner until after the birth as everyone had to guess the day Niev would go into labor. During all of the games, snacks were handed out and Niev especially was being cared for by everyone, making sure she stayed hydrated and wasn’t overwhelmed.
Last but not least, Niev and Blake got to open presents, which made Niev cry again as she pulled out hand-knitted outfits for the girls from Layla and two blankets that his mother had sewn for the girls.
“Thank you so, so much,” Niev sobbed as she looked around at everyone. “This was amazing. I’ll never forget it.”
“If we’d known what fun these showers were, we would’ve started them sooner,” Lyliann admitted.
The evening ended with a buffet-style dinner before they walked Seth back to the garage. Charlotte, Raymond, and Fallon’s family thanked everyone for the fun afternoon and separated from them before they reached the garages.
Seth turned to Niev and Blake and pulled them both in a hug. He was probably hoping that Blake’s wolf wouldn’t shred him into pieces if he hugged them both at the same time.
“You two are going to be fantastic parents. Send us lots of pictures, okay?”
“I think Lyliann and Mayra have that covered,” Niev giggled. “Be safe, okay?”
“Of course.”
Blake held Niev while they watched Seth say his goodbyes to everyone else. Kareem drove Seth through the mountains in the truck Niev and Blake had used for their move a few months ago.
Facing One’s Fears
Most of her days, Niev spent at home with Blake by her side. Everything felt like a strain, even getting up in the morning. She tried to follow Natalie’s advice and take it easy, but she didn’t really have another choice. It was mentally weighing on her that everything felt as if she wanted to move a mountain.
Here and there she went on walks–rather penguin waddles with Blake always nearby and Mayra, Ann, and Lyliann encouraging her the best they could. Niev also knew that as soon as labor started to set in, she would go through a lot of pain. She was terrified of the experience and the feeling of not being able to escape it only made it worse.
Blake pulled her closer to him and started caressing her bump. “Can’t sleep?”
“I’ve been up for what feels like hours and the sun still isn’t up yet,” she said frustrated.
“Should I get Natalie?” he asked, worriedly burying his nose in her neck and cuddling her closer from behind.
“No, it’s not that. I’m just worried about the whole labor thing and annoyed that everything I do is so much more work than it should be.”
“And me telling you it’s over soon won’t ease any of your thoughts because that just means labor pain will come soon.”
“Yes… I’m sorry, Blake.”
“There is no need to apologize, and you know it. I just wish I could help you.”
“Just hold me right now.”
He started humming, his chest vibrating against her shoulder blades. “How about I take your mind off things?”
His hand pushed around the ball that she now called her stomach. With his fingertips, he pushed between her thighs and effortlessly found her clit. She relaxed instantly and rolled her head back, closing her eyes. Focusing on his touch and the sparks it sent through her body, she pushed away all her worries. She arched her back slightly and rubbed her butt against his hardening dick. His hum turned into a deep growl from his wolf.
Pulling away from her clit, Blake quickly pulled his pants down and placed his tip between her thighs. Before he penetrated her, he grabbed a pillow and placed it between her legs on top of the other, spreading her legs more without straining her. Taking his tip in hand, he pushed into her, her walls wet and hot just for him.
He kissed her shoulders, whispering against her skin, “Don’t move, beautiful. Let me do all the work. You relax.”
“I don’t think I could do anything if I wanted to.”
“So, you’re saying you’re all mine?”
She nodded and he rewarded her with a gentle dive of his hips.
“Does it hurt?”
“No. You feel good.”
