**Josie’s POV **
The next morning comes too quickly. I’m not ready to go back to reality. I’m happy here, in this bed with Deacon’s safe arms around me and my bonds whispering in my head If I dont open my eyes I can trick myself that we are all here together but my bladder has other ideas as it screams at me for relief. I force myself up with a groan, hating my body right now.
“What’s wrong?” Deacon asks, suddenly alert.
“Need to pee,” I mumble as I take in my surroundings with a squint. I’d not had a chance to explore this place last night, too caught up in the incredible attention of my bonds and then the aftermath.
“The bathroom is the next door directly opposite,” he says, flopping back down in the bed and if I wasn’t desperate for the toilet I’d jump on him. How is this man in ne? Mr Freaking Collins is naked and waiting in bed for me! I still can’t quite wrap my head around it. I dash out to find the bathroom, eager to get back to him. When I return he’s no longer in the bed and I pout. I pick his shirt up off the floor and slide my arm into the sleeves before fastening a few of the buttons.
“Where did you run off to?” I call out to him.
“In t
the kitchen,” he calls back and I follow the sound of his voice to find him. The kitchen is amazing. It’s a classic English country cottage style and I love it, but what’s even more stunning is the man who’s in it, wearing only his boxer shorts as he routes through the fridge. He turns when hears my approach and his eyes heat when they land
on me.
“Hungry?” I raise a brow at him.
“You have no idea,” he breathes before shaking his head as if to clear away his thoughts, “Waffles or pancakes?” he asks.
“Either,” I shrug as my stomach rumbles loudly making his eyes go wide.
“I’d better hurry,” he laughs, turning back to the fridge and collecting a few ingredients. “Do you want coffee?” he asks. I’m about to say yes when my stomach churns at the thought of the bitter liquid I once loved. I shake my head with a grimace.
“Do you have tea?” I ask, the thought not making me want to gag
“I think so, I asked my property manager to stock essentials and I’m pretty sure tea counts as an essential in this realm,” he says as he searches through the cupboards.
“I’m not sure about the realm but it’s certainly an essential in this country, that’s assuming we are still in the UK,” I move to peer out the window, only just now realising I have no clue where we are.
“Scotland,” he says, coming to stand behind me at the window. There’s not much to see apart from trees, but I love it, “I thought we could shift and go for a run later, my wolf is desperate to meet his mate,”
My wolf becomes alert at his words, her excitement running across my skin like a static charge. “My wolf would love that,” I nod, “Is it safe to shift whilst pregnant?”
“At first, yes. Your wolf won’t allow you to shift once she deems it a risk. You can trust her insticts on all things pregnancy–related. There’s nothing more important to her than ensuring her pup’s safety,” he explains.
“I’m glad she knows what she’s doing because I’m pretty much clueless about caring for the little bean right now.

I know the basics of human pregnancy but I’m not sure that’s much help considering I’m not human,” I sigh.
“I’m here to help you too, we will get through this just fine” he reassures. “Why don’t you go shower whilst I make breakfast? As much as I enjoy seeing you in my shirt m sure you’d be more comfortable and warmer in your own clothes. There’s a bag of clothes Freya chose for you in the living room,”
“You’re really spoiling me now, Sir,” I tease.
“I plan on spoiling you every day for the rest of my life, Miss Banks, so I suggest you get used to it,” he smacks my ass playfully as I walk towards the living room in search of the bag
Almost two hours later we arrive back in our room at the bed and breakfast. Deacon collects all our new belongings he’d bought yesterday and takes them back to the cottage whilst I go to get Freya. I help her pack up her room and Deacon arrives to take her bags too before we go to visit with my mum and Frank for a couple of hours. We tell her we are leaving town but that we will be back often to visit. By late afternoon we arrive back at my old house with Freya.
“You know I think I’ll take the train next time,” Freya groans and Deacon holds us both steady. My nausea passes quickly this time, I think I’m finally getting used to the porting.
“Should we grab dinner with Freya whilst we are here?” I ask D.
“Hell no, I have a date and I’m not having you two there outshining me,” Freya scoffs before Deacon can respond.
“Freya no one can outshine you, you know you’re hot,” I roll my eyes.
“I know,” she shrugs, flicking her hair sarcastically, “but I want to keep her to myself for now, besides I’ve not seen her for two weeks. I need some alone time with her,” she winks.
“Fine, you hussy,” I stick my tongue out at her.
“Girl, you literally have 5 boyfriends, I think you stole my hussy title,” she laughs and pulls me into a hug.
“Thank you for everything,” I tell her as I hug her back.
“Anytime, you know I’ve got your back, no matter what.

“Thank you for everything,” I tell her as I hug her back.
“Anytime, you know I’ve got your back, no matter what. Make sure you get a phone and keep in touch. I also want weekly visits at the minimum,” she pulls back and gives me a stern look before turning her gaze to Deacon. I love how she is not afraid of him, my tiny human friend may be small but she is mighty.
“Of course. Josie will have her own phone by tomorrow. You can contact her on mine in the meantime. You have the number,” he nods. “Thank you for taking care of her when I couldn’t,” he adds.
A tear rolls down my face as I watch Freya reverse her car out of my driveway.
“Pregnancy hormones,” I huff, wiping the tear from my face and D gives me a sympathetic smile.
“Let’s go home,” he pulls me into his arms, kissing the top of my head before porting is back to his cottage.
