Chapter 650

I rub his head.

"We'll work on it together," I assured him.

"So, that means you're staying?" he asked.

"Yes, she's staying," Gavin said before I could have a chance to speak. He puts an arm around me and pulls me into his side. "And we have a lot to talk about, but I'm not letting her go again."

I blushed at his straightforward words.

"We certainly have a lot to talk about," I agreed.

"So, I was right then," Matt grinned as he looked at Irene. "Told you she was going to be our new mom."

"I'm never calling her mom," Irene said, folding her arms across her chest, but there was amusement in her eyes as she peeked between the two of us.

I nearly choked on my own spit at her candid words.

"I'm not asking anyone to call me mom," I told her, and then I remembered the little bean in my belly, and my cheeks grew hot.

No one knew about this pregnancy except for Gavin. I wasn't sure when the right time to tell them, but something told me to keep the secret to myself for a little while longer. Now was not the right time or place.

"This isn't really a topic for here," Gavin said before anyone could say anything more. "How about we discuss this later. For now, Irene, would you be able to take Matthew home? We will have a celebration ceremony tomorrow evening, but for right now, I'm stealing Judy away for the time being."noveldrama

My cheeks flushed before I could stop them.

Irene gave me a knowing grin before she glanced up at her father and nodded. "Yeah, of course. "I'll see you later."

She gave him a quick hug before motioning for Matt to follow her. Matt gave me a quick hug before following Irene.

"Judy, sweetheart, we are so proud of you," my mom said as she approached. She pulled me into a tight hug, her warmth engulfing me. Her hug was all I needed; tears filled my eyes and began to spill down my cheeks. I missed her and my father so incredibly much; being away from them was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

"I'm so sorry," I whispered, my voice breaking. "I shouldn't have left like I did."

"You did what you thought you needed to do; we don't blame you for that for a second," my mother assured me as she pulled back to look at my face. She cupped my face in her warm hands and wiped away my tears with her thumbs. "Plus, you brought us home an Alpha. How can we be upset about that?"

"Have you met him yet?" I asked. "Sampson, I mean."

She shook her head.

"We figured we'd let them get settled in before we made introductions, she told me. "We plan to stop by the packhouse in the morning, though. You should come with us."

I nodded.

"Okay, yeah. I'll be there," I told her, giving her another hug. "I love you, Mom."

"I love you so much, Judy," she whispered in return.

We pulled away from one another when my father joined us. He looked up at Gavin and then looked at me.

"Do you need a ride home?" He asked, his protectiveness shining through. I knew it was going to take my father some time to get used to the idea of me and Gavin together.

"No, I'm going with Gavin," I told him,

leaning into Gavin slightly without meaning to Gavin didn't seem to mind, though. I felt his hand tightening around my waist, not even realizing he was holding me until this moment.

My father looked a bit uneasy, his eyes scanning my face. He opened his mouth

to say something, but my mother put a hand on his shoulder.

"We should go," my mother told him. "It's late, and we have a big day tomorrow."

My father reluctantly nodded.

"I'll see you at home tonight?" My father asked me.

Before I could reply, Gavin spoke for me.

"I'm afraid she be staying with me tonight. But make sure she sees you in the morning. You have nothing to worry about, Delta Montague. Your daughter is safe with me, and I'll make sure nothing happens to her."

My father looked up at him, and though I could see the uncertainty in his eyes, his body relaxed slightly.

"Very well then," he finally said.

He turned to me one last time.

"Then, I'll see you tomorrow," he said. He stepped towards me and gave me a quick hug. "I love you, kiddo."

"I love you too, Dad," I said softly, giving him a squeeze before releasing him.

After a moment, my father finally let my mother guide him away.

The second they were out of sight, I felt Gavin's arms wrapping around my waist from behind me, and he placed a soft kiss on the nape of my neck.

"Come with me," he whispered. "I need you."
