Skylar's POV
Everything has been going great with me and Jace and the pack since they all now know that I was pregnant with their alphas daughter. We head out for the day of picking out a nice colour for the nursery and we also have to pick out a theme for her room as well. As we stand there looking at all of the colour choices for what seems like forever we finally both agree on a colour. We decided to paint her room a medium purple so it wasn't too bright or too dark it was perfect. After finally choosing a colour we decide to go somewhere for lunch. As we ate our lunch we talked about the things we still needed to get for her room after we painted it and we agreed that the theme of her room was going to be wolves which we both loved the irony of the idea.
After we were done eating lunch we decided to go to babies 'r' us to look around and figure out what we were going to need for the nursery. We decided not to get anything quite yet 'cause we wanted to paint her room first before we bought everything else. After looking around I was getting really tired so we headed home to relax and watch movies after we talked about what was going on.
Once we were back Jace knew how tired I was and he picked me up bridal style and carried me to our room. Once we were finally in our room Jace layed me on our bed and I started to drift off into sleep. Jace climbed in next to me and I cuddled up to him.
"What was it you had to tell me?" I asked him sleepily
"Don't worry about it right now, just take a nap and we can talk when you wake up" he says kissing me on the forehead as I drift off to dreamland.
After I woke up from my nap I noticed that Jace wasn't beside me so I got up and followed his scent which led me to his office. I walk into his office without even bothering to knock I see him sitting behind his desk staring at a piece of paper on his desk looking frustrated by it. I walk over to him and sit on his lap sideways and kiss him on the cheek.
"Hey what's the matter baby?" I ask him with concern in my voice. He sighs before handing me the paper he was staring at and as I read through it I saw why he was so frustrated it was another note from V threatening my mate, my daughter and my pack and saying he was going to take me away and that there was nothing anyone could do about it.
"Okay baby time to head back and get you to bed." Jace says knowing I'm tired because I slowed my pace down.
"But I'm not tired yet" I try to protest around a yawn making him laugh at me. All of a sudden I feel Jace place his one hand behind my back while the other one goes under my legs lifting me up bridal style as he carries me back to the house and puts me to bed. We get into our room and he finally sets me down and I go and change into some comfy pajamas while Jace strips to his boxers and climbs into bed I climb in next to him resting my head on his bare chest as I start to run my hand up and down is abs and pecks and soon I'm drifting off to sleep as I listen to the beating of his heart. I wake up from my sleep because I have to pee and I get up carefully as not to wake Jace up seeing he was still passed out next to me lying on his back with the blanket bunched up at his waist. I go to the bathroom and do my business and wash my hands and when I get back Jace still hasn't moved and just seeing like that started to make me very horny which happens a lot which is probably because of the pregnancy hormones.
I crawl back into my bed and prop myself up over Jace as I slowly lower my hips to his so I was straddling him trying to not wake him quite yet. I lower myself carefully as I kiss down his jawline and then down his neck until I get to my mark I kiss the sensitive spot making him moan in his sleep. I continue to kiss, lick, and nibble on the spot when his eyes finally open as he grabs my waist. He grabs my chin making me look at him as he's breathing a little heavy as he crashes his lips against mine flipping us over in the process so he was not on top of me. He licks my bottom lip asking for entrance I open my mouth and we intertwine our tongues his taking the dominant spot and me letting him as we kiss and grind against each other for what seems like eternity.
