One of his ears twitched.
She pressed her face into his fur, breathing deep. He smelled like frost, forest and something warm underneath, the same scent she had noticed that first night in the car. It was comforting now, familiar.
The baby kicked.
Uriel's ear twitched again. A low rumble came from deep in his chest, not quite a growl, not quite a purr. Something in between.
Lin Yue smiled against his fur.
"Good morning." she murmured.
One golden eye cracked open and looked at her.
She waved. "Hi."
The eye closed again.The rumbling continuing.
She laughed softly and stayed where she was, wrapped in warmth and fur.
[GOOD MORNING. CURRENT STATUS: NINE MONTHS. YOU ARE NOW AT FULL TERM AND CAN DELIVER AT ANY TIME.]
She blinked at the screen. "Any time?"
[ANY TIME. TODAY. POSSIBLY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. YOUR BODY IS READY.]
Her heart skipped.
Today had finally arrived.
It was actually happening today.
