Chapter Five

Heidi plated the omelet she’d just made, something she’d always wanted to try, and set it on the table. Grocery money had been almost non-existent when she’d been with Brent, and before that, her mother had done all the cooking. It was nice to be able to create filling meals for her family and not worry about the financial aspect. From the size of the house and the way he spent money, she had assumed that when Raylic said he was well-off, it was probably an understatement. Not that his wealth mattered to her. All she’d ever wanted was enough money to pay the bills and put food on the table. She’d never dreamed of being a millionaire or owning a castle.

Raylic kissed her cheek as he pulled glasses out of the cabinet next to the stove. “You’re awfully happy this morning.”

“We’re really getting married today, aren’t we?” she asked. “I mean, mated.”

“Yes, we are.”

There was a squeal from the doorway, and Heidi spun that way, her eyes widening when she saw Shane standing there. He looked confused and excited all at the same time. Her little boy scurried into the kitchen and tugged on her shirt.

“Raylic’s going to be my daddy?” he asked.

“Yes, sweetheart. Are you okay with that?”

Shane seemed to think about it a moment. “We get to keep living here? And play with all the toys?”

“Well, yes, but Raylic being your dad means more than just a house and toys.”

He nodded sagely. “It means we won’t get hit or yelled at anymore. He’s nice, Mama.”

Raylic knelt at Shane’s feet. “So, you’re okay with me being your new dad?”

Shane smiled widely and threw his arms around Raylic. “It’s the best thing ever.”

“Good.” Raylic hugged him tightly. “If you aren’t comfortable calling me Dad yet, you can still call me Raylic.”

Shane looked at him shyly. “Can I call you Daddy?”

“I’d be honored for you to call me Daddy. Now, did you wash your hands?”

Shane nodded.

“Then have a seat. It looks like your mom is about finished making breakfast. Do you want juice or milk?”

“Juice.”

Raylic poured three glasses of orange juice and took out the silverware. Once the table was set and the all the omelets cooked, they sat down to breakfast. Heidi was happier than she’d ever been before, even though she was a little nervous about meeting Raylic’s council. What if they didn’t like her? He seemed certain their mating would be approved, but if the council denied them, how would she explain that to Shane?

After they had finished eating, Raylic helped her load the dishwasher and then they all went upstairs to get ready. Shane came out his room wearing his nicest sweater and jeans, both gifts from Raylic. Before their shopping spree, Shane’s nicest sweater had been faded with little fuzz balls all over it, and his jeans had grass stains on the knees. He’d been in dire need of a new wardrobe, and her sexy alien had seen that it was taken care of.

“Everyone ready?” Raylic asked.
