Nicolas rested beside Zenya on their bed in wolf form.
"You need to speak with the boys about the birds and the bees." The words whispered from her mind to his with humor.
He licked her ear. "And what do you think I could teach them that they don't already know?"
"Anything is better than what Talya told them this afternoon."
"Do I want to know?"
"I don't believe so."
"Just how did they miss you being within hearing of this conversation?"
"I've turned into a lump of plump flesh everyone ignores."
Nicolas shifted to human and laid his head against her fury belly. "This is the only part of you that is even slightly plump. You still don't wish to know the sex of our first child?"
"Bite your tongue. How dare you insinuate there could be another when I'm barely surviving this pregnancy."
Her melancholy was completely normal and Nicolas tried to go with the flow. "Laura will be here tomorrow and you didn't answer my question."
