Endangered

32.) Baby shower

Third Person POV

He watched from afar seeing Flora and her family set up for the baby shower. She got colors to match the cake that was perfect for what she wanted.

Dorian watched as Flora laughed at her mother and friends as they argued over something. Flora held her stomach as she continued laughing, the sound was music to his ears. Dorian's eyes couldn't trail away from Fora, as she was in a beautiful green dress or as she called it an emerald dress. When she walked it could be mistaken for her as gliding. 

The five were here, Magnus, Roman, Axel, and Marcus even Tilda but she would just watch from afar making sure everything would be secure.

All the lycans wanted to come, a need to protect and ensure the future Flora carried. They also cared for Flora and were still upset with me. The guys passed by me and knocked on the fence even though it was open they still wanted to be courteous and announce their presence.

The fence was made by them, so when the babies came and wanted to roam around, they could do it without animals getting into the yard.

Flora's eyes gleamed when she walked over to them and hugged them all. All the guys tried to keep some distance between themselves and her rounded belly but she ended up pulling them closer anyways.

Dorian couldn't help but smile when the guys touched her stomach. They were enamored with the thought of three pups inside, nestling until they were ready to come out. Flora was smiling at their antics then changed her expression asking them a question.

Dorian sensed that her question was probably about him, noticing her mood change. After they talked, her friends came over welcoming the guys even though Dorian knew they were checking Flora's friends out, but they would control themselves for the sake of Flora.

Dorian checked his nice long sleeve dress shirt with the cuffs rolled up slightly. He wanted to make a surprise appearance, one that he hoped Flora would be alright with since her mother invited him discreetly.

He looked at the gifts and inhaled trying to gain the courage to look at the woman that took over his heart. Every step he took felt lighter and less harsh than he thought but his heart was pounding loudly, even the guys heard the way his heart was beating by receiving their concerned glances.

Dorian's eyes followed Flora as she made her way inside the house, so he made his way to the front door instead of the back. He ran his fingers through his hair making sure it was still slicked back. He knocked three times hearing movement.

Jenna answered the door looking pleased that he came. She hugged him before he could even greet her. "Oh honey, I'm so glad you came. Come in, come in." He was quite surprised that Jenna was greeting him after he had scared her the first time he shifted in front of her.

She kissed his cheek and cleaned her lipstick off him with a napkin. "Alright, I'll take the gifts outside if you'd like?"

He handed her over the two gifts while keeping one inside. "Flora is in the kitchen. She doesn't know that I invited you so I'll just be outside while you two talk. Good luck."

She went outside faster than she had talked the whole time. Dorian wanted to laugh at her but the anticipation of facing Flora is what worked his mind up. He walked into the kitchen seeing Flora drinking a bottle of water while snacking on some fruits.

She felt his presence and turned towards him freezing in place. He waved slightly, in the awkward situation. "Your mother invited me, but please don't get mad at her." Dorian's hands were shaking slightly as he fought his self-control to not kiss her lips and rub her stomach that held their babies.

He missed them. Flora looked him over squeezing her legs shut as arousal swept through her and Dorian. She liked the way he looked and dressed. Her dreams of him were definitely affecting her now. Though she was stubborn and still wanted to hold her ground.

Her cheeks tinted a bit knowing that he could smell her. They were both restraining themselves wanting nothing more than to jump each other's bones. She turned around so she didn't have to face him. "I'm mad that you showed."

Dorian became confused, why would she be mad?

"I'm mad because if you didn't show then it'd be easier to hold that against you. To hate you would be easier, but you came. Now it's not going to be easy to have you here and try to resist my urges and feelings that I have for you."

"Can I hold them?"

She nodded smiling, knowing what I meant. He made his way to her stopping when her stomach was touching him. Dorian went on his knees feeling all around her stomach. Flora felt her stomach flutter at his touch.

The babies were moving slightly kicking only a few times. Flora was in awe how they always responded to their father, though she knew her children will be different from normal human babies.

Once Dorian was satisfied he followed Flora outside and greeted the guests that started to arrive. Then he got an earful from her father, nothing bad, just to not make her sad like she's been since they've departed.

The baby shower went by smoothly with the guest having fun with the games. Her mother was a bit irritated with the four guys that couldn't help to flirt with every female there but besides that everything was perfect. 

Dorian watched Flora intently talking to her friends and found himself moving closer to her when she talked to males. Even though everybody was family and friends, he couldn't help but be protective of his own family.

Dorian helped hand Flora the gifts along with her mother to unwrap them and show the guests. The gifts mainly consisted of many clothes and diapers. When Flora opened his gift she was happy to see that there were various items for the boys. The blank photo album along with stuffed animals and baby products were inside.

"Is that it?" She asked. Flora couldn't help herself when she asked. She was upset that Dorian still couldn't accept their little girl.

"Did you forget that you're having a girl too?" Kurt asked making the others chuckle.

They continued on with the gifts but Flora still had a sad look to her after opening Dorian's presents. When they finished Flora went into her room to rest while everybody else helped clean up and put the presents inside.

Dorian said his farewells to everybody and thanked them for their help. He grabbed the last gift that he hid behind the couch. He made his way up to Flora's room and opened the door. Flora was lying in bed reading a book with the night lamp on. She glanced at him when he sat down by her.

"You have one more gift left." She looked at him confused and sat up straighter putting her book down at her side. Dorian placed the gift on her lap as she unwrapped it. There was a large box that was designed with floral designs all over with a big dove in the middle.

"A dove is a symbol of courage, peace, and hope."

She smiled at the words feeling a little emotional. She unlocked the box to see various items but the stuff made her gasp. It was all girl clothes and items. Dorian chuckled and picked up two of his favorite onesies.

One said 'Mommy's Little Warrior' while the other one said 'Daddy's Little Fighter' as Flora read them she started to tear up. He handed her three little boxes. She opened them to see three bracelets with adjustable sizes. They were the Wiccan blessing symbol on all of them for each of their babies.

Flora didn't need to look at the other stuff inside, so she hugged Dorian letting a few tears out. She was happy that he finally accepted their little girl. She pulled back grabbed his face and kissed him. She pulled back a bit embarrassed by her own actions. "Thank you."

Dorian kissed her back intertwining their hands. He moved forward but the box shifted almost falling off the bed but he caught it in time. They both chuckled and put the stuff back. That night Flora and Dorian slept peacefully as they were wrapped in each other's arms.
