Chapter 33

Tyree dressed Alicia in her Frozen (Elsa) costume and took her to school. The preschool was having a Halloween party and she wanted to wear her costume.

"Now, don't get it dirty or you won't be able to wear it tonight," Tyree said.

"Okay, daddy," she said. "I'll be careful."

"Be a good girl and we love you," he said.

Tyree remembered that they still needed candy to give out, so he stopped at the store and picked up a few bags. Since Luca couldn't eat candy, Tyree bought him smoothies.

"Honey, I'm home," he said, walking in and placing everything on the kitchen counter. Luca entered, frowning as he rubbed his stomach. "Are our babies being naughty?" Tyree asked.

"No," Luca said, shaking his head. "I just feel bloated and my back hurts,"

"Go lie down and I'll come in to rub your back," Tyree said. Luca nodded his head and headed to their bedroom.

After Tyree put everything away, he headed to their bedroom. Luca was on his side rubbing his stomach when Tyree entered the room. Tyree got into bed and laid next to Luca.

"I wonder what's worse," Luca said. "My bloated stomach or my aching back,"

"Let's deal with your sore back first," Tyree said, massaging it. Luca let out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. Tyree kissed Luca on his shoulder and listened to him snore softly before drifting off to sleep.

Luca woke up a few hours later feeling less sore. He turned his head and noticed the time.

"Ty, Alicia is done with school in an hour," he said via the link.

"Thanks for telling me," Tyree said, as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. "I would have overslept." While Luca did some light cleaning, Tyree got up and took a shower before he headed to the preschool.

"Do you want to take a shower with me?" Tyree asked via the link.

"I would, but these dishes need to be washed," Luca replied back.

"Okay, but tonight, we bathe together," Tyree said via the link.

At 4 pm, Alicia was back at home, out of her costume and playing with her toys. Adrian showed up right before Tyree got Alicia ready to go trick or treating.

"Have fun," Luca said.

"I will, mommy," Alicia said. As Tyree and Alicia left, Adrian walked up to Luca and said, "She really loves you,"

"It feels good to be called mommy," Luca said. "Even though she's not biologically mine,"

"How's the little ones doing?" Adrian asked.

"Quiet one minute," "active the next," Luca said. Adrian and Luca locked the doors and went into the living room.

Adrian answered the door after checking to see who it was. Their first trick-or-treater was a 7-year-old girl dressed up as Cinderella.

"Here you go," Luca said, handing her a couple pieces of candy.

"Thank you," she said, smiling at him. When Luca got tired of standing, Adrian passed out candy. Luca opened the door once more to pass out candy.

"Man, it's cold," Luca said, catching his breath as the cold air hit his face.

"Warm up by the fireplace and I'll take care of it," Adrian said, as he closed the door. By the time it hit 8 p.m., they had seen 10 kids. The door opened shortly, and Tyree walked in with Alicia right beside him, carrying a full basket of candy.

"Look at all of my candy," she said, walking up to Luca.

"That's nice," Luca said. "Don't eat it all at once,"

Alicia changed out of her costume and put on her pajamas. Before she headed to bed, she ate two pieces of candy. Luca drank some of his strawberry banana smoothie while Tyree ate a chocolate covered cherry.

"If I didn't have high blood pressure, I'd eat one also," Luca said.

"There's got to be something you can eat," Tyree said. Tyree pulled out his phone and searched for high blood pressure and chocolate-covered cherries.

"It looks like you can eat them," Tyree said. Luca giggled when Tyree fed him one.

"You've got some chocolate on your face," Tyree said.

Luca raised his hand to wipe it off, but Tyree clasped his hand and gently pulled it back down. He leaned in close and nibbled on Luca's lower lip. Luca's eyes widened when Tyree pulled him closer and kissed him passionately. Without breaking the kiss, Tyree picked Luca up and carried him bridal style to their bedroom. Luca was placed on the bed and found Tyree now kissing his mating mark. Luca cried out when Tyree sank his teeth into the previous mating mark, making a new one. Luca supported his swollen belly and sat between Tyree's legs. Luca kissed Tyree's neck and started sucking on the area where Tyree's mark was. Luca grinned and sank his teeth into the soft flesh. Their matebonds were renewed.

Luca leaned back in his chair and sighed in relief. "It's finished," he said to himself. Now, he can relax and spend quality time with his family.

"Just 4 more months and we get to see you," Luca said, as he and Tyree rubbed his stomach. "Are we still going to dad's for Thanksgiving?" Luca asked.

"Yea, if you are up to it," Tyree said.

"Being pregnant will never stop me from spending time with family and friends," he said.

"Do you have any projects coming up?" Tyree asked.

"Not for a few months," Luca said, shaking his head. "The last one was their biggest project,"

Tyree lay bare-chested on the bed. Luca sat in the chair with his sketchbook lying open in his lap.

"Now, stay in that position so I can draw you," he said. Tyree smiled at him and said, "As you wish," As Luca sketched, sexy images filled his mind.

"You need to stop trying to seduce me while I'm drawing you," he said.

"Can I seduce you once you're done?" Tyree asked.

"Only if I get this done," Luca said. "Then we can seduce each other." Once Luca finished the photo, they spent the morning pleasuring each other.

The rest of the day, Luca and Tyree cuddled on the couch and watched movies. Alicia and Elena sat on the floor and played with their toys. They thought about what could be prepared for the holiday.

"Can we spend the night at Grandpa's on Turkey Day?" Alicia asked.

"We'll talk to them about it," Tyree said. "But we should be able to,"

"I can't wait," she said, clapping happily. Finally, something to look forward to.
