Chapter 33 - Blair
May 13th
26 weeks pregnant
Since I had no family, I wasn’t expecting or planning on having a baby shower. I still considered myself new in town and didn’t have any close relationships here except with Asmodeus and Thea. All of my family was dead, and I had no relatives or siblings to invite. The only person I could think of was Heath. A small pity party for one, please.
It was a Saturday morning around ten, and I was having some crazy cravings. I didn’t want to bother Az, and with the threat to my life no longer there, I got in the car and left the house to go to the store. It had only felt like thirty minutes, but I was gone and out of the house for over an hour.
Time has been getting away from me the past couple of days. Adding pregnancy brain to an ADHD brain was a recipe for disaster. When I arrived back at the house, I was shockedto see people there. What was going on?
When I entered the house, I realized that it was a surprise baby shower for me. The sentiment had me ugly crying from how touched I was, and how much effort they put into this. I couldn’t believe they organized all this without me knowing. But I mean, I was pretty oblivious at times. It seemed that Thea and Gus were here, along with Asmodeus and Heath.
I was speechless when I saw Heath in our home. I was not expecting him to be here, but it was nice to see a friendly face. I ran up to him and gave him the biggest hug I could without my belly getting in the way. When I pulled back, he was still staring at me and my belly.
“You look great, Blair,” he rasps.
“Thank you. You look great yourself. I’m surprised you’re here but ecstatic to see you. A lot has happened since I left in September.”
“Yeah, a lot has happened. I’m happy to see you as well. You’re absolutely glowing. Pregnancy looks good on you,” he smiles. In the other room, I could hear a growl from Asmodeus. I rolled my eyes while I could feel slick dampening my panties.
“Ignore the growl please. I appreciate the compliment. I’m trying to figure out how you got here. I didn’t even know about this party myself.” His cheeks turn pink, and I realize my comment sounded a bit rude.
“I didn’t mean it the way it came out! Oh my gosh. I just meant, did Asmodeus invite you?”
He nods his head, and clears his voice, “Yeah, he did actually. And I knew what you meant Blair. No need to worry,” he gave me a small smile.
“Oh, that was sweet of him.” I would have to thank himfor that later, when we were alone, and we had the house to ourselves again. “How are you?! I’m sorry I haven’t really talked to you in awhile and been quiet. A lot of things have happened. Some good, some bad.” I shrug my shoulders.
“I’m doing good. I actually moved and got accepted into Vet school at Purdue. I’ve decided to take the next step and become a Veterinarian. Being a tech was only going to get me so far.”
“Oh wow! That’s amazing news. I’m proud of you. You will be an excellent Vet.” I gave him another awkward hug.
“Do you have a special someone in your life?” I raised my eyebrows a couple of times hoping for some juicy information.
His cheeks go pink, “I do, if you can consider adopting a cat as having someone special in your life.”
“Awe, how cute! I think a pet would definitely count. I want to introduce you to Asmodeus. Come on,” I grab his hand and drag him with me into the kitchen, where I know he is. He looks down at our hands with a scowl on his face. I give him a bright smile since he’s being a jealous brute, and I want to tease him.
“Heath, this is my mate Asmodeus. Asmodeus, this is Heath.” He reached out and shook Heath’s hand. I glared at him, making sure he played nice. There was no reason for him to be jealous; I was his mate. No one would be taking me away from this demon. I wore his mark and carried his child. You would think that would be enough, but I knew that meeting Heath would have his instincts to mark me was riding him hard.
“Nice to meet you Heath. I appreciate you coming to support Blair and us. I appreciate you taking care of herafter her parents died.” His voice is gruff, but his words are sincere. Wow, I wasn’t expecting that.
An image popped in my head, him bending me over and impaling me on his cock, as he rubs my belly and bites my neck in front of everyone to see. I wasn’t into exhibition, but his possessiveness drove me wild. The thought had me shiver, knowing what was in store for me later. He looked over at me, his nostrils flaring from the scent of my arousal in the air. My cheeks pinkened as his eyes burned with heat.
Everyone stayed for a couple of hours today, chatting, eating, and hanging out. Thea and Asmodeus put some food together for everyone. Mostly finger food that was easy to eat, such as BBQ mini weenies, jalapeno poppers, onion rings, veggie tray, and of course, I couldn’t forget the best part, where Thea brought some baked sweets.
We hadn’t done a lot of shopping yet for the baby, so I was grateful for all the presents that I had received. Thea got me things that would be useful after the birth, as well as some outfits for the baby. They were a bit girly, which I was confused by since we didn’t even know the gender of the baby. Maybe she was just taking a guess. Heath bought the baby some toys for them to play with and some teething accessories once they were a little bigger. Asmodeus even gave me a present, but said I would get it after everyone left.
After dessert, everyone left, and it was just Asmodeus and me in the house. I sat on the couch looking at the presents I had in front of me, and realized how lovely today was. It was small and intimate, tears were trailing down my cheeks from how happy I was, and how heartwarming this entire baby shower was. I wish my parents could have been here with us; my mother would have gotten along great with Thea.
Az came over to my side, rubbing my back as I cried. He gave me a gentle kiss on my forehead as I calmed down. I looked up to him with teary eyes, and he brushed the tears away that seemed to have slipped down my cheek.
“Are you ready for your present now?” He whispers. I nod my head in excitement. I had totally forgotten about his present. He grabs my hand and pulls me up off the couch into his arms.
He leads me to the backyard and into his workshop outside, but instead, he’s taking me to a room I’ve never been in before. I gasp when we enter, he has a small woodshop area. I’m shocked and preoccupied that I don’t even see the present that’s sitting in the middle of the room. My hands fly to my mouth when I notice.
