Returning To My Rejected Mate

Shay's Point of View

After the movie Zane goes to his office and Zayde and I start to move our things to the apartment.

"When can we start decorating my room?"

Zayde asks as we start to pack away his things.

"Do you know what you want?"

Zayde frowns.

"Well I want a Bluey room.. and sleepy time stars.."

I smile at him.

"Okay, do you maybe want to look at some pictures so we can get an idea an decide on what you want?"

"Yes, can we do it now?"

Zayde asks and I motion him over.

"Come here then we can look at some pictures on my phone."

Zayde nods excitedly and launches himself into my lap.

I just laugh and shake my head before taking my phone out to start looking for ideas.

It takes a while to choose a few ideas because Zayde wants everything. But eventually we decide

on a few things and I store them on my phone.

We stand up and I look at the time before I put my phone away.

"Okay, I think that is enough for now. It's almost time for dinner. Let's go run you a bath."

"Can we still watch Bluey tonight?"

Zayde asks as we head to his room and I nod.

"Yes, we can watch Bluey after dinner."

I say turning on the tub

"Is daddy going to watch with us??"

"Of course I am!"

Zane suddenly answers right behind me, startling me, causing me to almost tumble into the tub head first.

Zane grabs my hips, keeping me up and pulling me close to him.

"Careful there little mate."

"Then you shouldn't startle me like that!"

"You shouldn't bend over the tub like that.. With that pretty ass of yours sticking up into the air. I

can think of quite a few things I'd like to do to you in that position."

Zane says soflty and bites my earlobe, causing a shiver to run through me. He smirks before

letting me go and turning to our son.

Zayde smiles and runs over to his father.

"Daddy! You're here!"

"Of course I'm here. I told you I'd be here for dinner didn't I?"

"Daddy can you bathe me?"

Zane looks at me.

"Can I?"

"Of course you can bathe him. I'll go get his pajamas ready while you bathe him."

I say, turning off the tap and making my way into his room.

After I've put together everything for him to get dressed I make my way back to the bathroom.

I stop in the door taking Zane and Zayde in while they play with some toys in the tub. I smile

softly and take a few pictures of them.

2 Pairs of eyes, so similar to each other turn to me.

"Why are you taking pictures?"

"Just capturing some childhood memories for you."

I say shrugging making my way to the toilet, closing it and sitting down.

"So what are you two talking about?"

"How babies are made. Daddy told me all about moon cycles and kissing." I turn to Zane.

"What?"

"Well... Zayde wanted to know where babies come from..."

Zane says scratching his head and I arch a brow at him.

"Oh really, and what did you tell him?"

Before Zane can answer Zayde pipes up.

"I asked daddy if mommy's and daddy's make babies when they kiss. He said they need a certain

time of the moon cycle to make a baby."

I laugh.

"Yes, the timing of the cycle is very important for making babies."

"So when is the right time? Should I wait for it to ask the moon goddess?"

I shake my head with a smile.

"No baby, you can ask her anytime you want."

"Can we ask her tonight?"

"Sure, we can ask her tonight. And every other night until she grants our wish. Okay?"

Zane answers before I can and Zayde looks at me for conformation. I nod at him and smile.

"Are you two done? If so, maybe it's time for Zayde to get out and get dressed? We do still need to go down for dinner."

They both nod and Zane help Zayde out of the tub.

15 minutes later we make our way down to the dining hall.

"Daddy, is grandma going to be at dinner?"

Zane frowns.

"I don't know buddy. Maybe. Why do you ask?"

Zayde shrugs.

"Just wondering. I missed her today."

Zayde says, and I hear a tinge of sadness in his voice. Zane hears it so and hugs him.

"I'll tell you what. If she's not at dinner, we can go find her just to say goodnight at least if you want?"

Zayde nods.

"Yes, please."

As we enter the dining hall I immediately she Zane's father and mother at the table.

"Grandma!"

Zayde yells and squirms to get down.

Zane puts him on the ground and he rushes over to Diana

"I've missed you grandma!"

"I've missed you too!"

"We're going to have babies! Mommy and daddy said I can ask the moon goddess."

Diana looks at me with a raised eyebrow and then her eyes widen as she sees my mate mark.

"Oh my! When did this finally happen?"

"Yesterday."

"Congratulations! Both of you. I am so happy!"

She hugs me and Zane before turning to her mate.

"Are you going to say anything?"

"I see you decided to stay?"

Zane's father asks looking at me and I nod.

"I did. He is my mate and this is where I'm supposed to be. This is my home..."

"Oh, so now this is your home?"

"Dad."

Zane warns with a frown.

"What?"

"Don't start. This has nothing to do with you."

His father looks at us and nods.

"Fine. Congratulations. We'll see how long it last before she decides to run off again."

He says, getting up and leaving the room.

Diana sighs.

"I'm sorry. Congratulations again."

She says before going after him.

I look at Zane and he smiles at me.

"It's going to be fine. Ignore him. Let's just enjoy our dinner."

I give him a small smile and nod.

I really hope everything will be okay..
