EPILOGUE

Few months later...

I applied one last coat of lipstick on Leah's lips, before bloating the excess. It was said that pregnancy brought out a person’s glow. Well, I partly agree with that. Leah was a beauty queen. Her dark hair had taken up this lustre I didn't know its origin. Her skin was smooth, her body chubby. Pregnancy looked so good on her.

However, my case was different. I was fatigued most of the time, and the only plump thing right now was my boobs. Although, in retrospect, I'd have squealed in glee. The baby had begun to kick, especially at night. Phew. If I didn't know better, I'd say there were as much as five foetuses in me.

"Isn't this too much?" Leah asked, looking at the mirror skeptically.

"Too much for your baby shower and my housewarming?"

She rolled her eyes and I couldn't help but smile. I was glad she agreed with me that this wasn't much.

I helped her hold down in a French braid and added some decorative pieces around it.

"And done," I said. I let out a sigh. Here came the shortness of breath. "Lemme grab my purse, okay?"

I walked towards my bedroom, and when I opened the door, I gasped.

"Matteo!" The dude still had a towel tied around his waist, and his hair was a haggard mess. "You aren't dressed yet! The car is here already."

His moody face made me repent of my annoyance. Concerned, I walked up to him and held his bulky arms.

"Anything the matter?"

His brow rose a bit. "What? No."

"Lie. Your face is so scrunched up, one can get a stroke."

He pursed his lips, causing me to roll my eyes. "I know it's a lame analogy, Matteo. You don't have to slap that on my face every time."

His face softened as he stroke my chin. "I'm sorry."

"Accepted. So, why the moping?"

A drawn out sigh came from his lips "I'm nervous. This whole change of environment, è snervate."

I was amused, not just at how cute he looked with the tiny frown in his face, but at the fact that he thought I got the Italian he'd said. "You never cease to amaze me. Look, we've come a long way, okay? We've got this."

I wondered why Matteo had grown nervous now that the entire Brookehurt had accepted him as the true alpha. Yet, I had to remind my self that he was human...well, partly. Therefore, he got to show those emotions. I felt more attracted to him for that.
