Leaning down, Kieran gave his mate a kiss, then said, “He’s already awake…wanna feel how strong his kicks are?” Without giving Logan a chance to reply, Kieran placed one of his mate’s hands on his belly. “See? Squirt wants to go too!”
“Oh wow!” Logan murmured, smiling at Kieran. “He’s strong.”
“He’s showing you how eager he is.”
Remembering what his mate said when he woke him up, Logan asked, “Babe, where do you want to go?”
“Scotland! C’mon, chop, chop!” Kieran exclaimed, climbing off his mate. “Brian’s waiting for us.”
Confused, Logan asked, “What are you talking about? Is he expecting us?”
“The eggs!” Kieran shouted from the closet. Then dragging a big trunk out from it, he noticed Logan hadn’t moved. Stopping, he put his hands on his hips while tapping his foot. “Macushla,what are you waiting for?”
Sitting up, Logan rubbed the sleep out of his eyes while trying to make sense of what his mate was talking about. But it was no use; nothing Kieran had said made any sense. Looking at his sexy mate, Logan’s cock twitched, giving him a much better idea of what theyshould be doing. Reaching down, he gripped his hardening shaft and said, in a deep and seductive voice, “Mo anan cara,come back to bed…”
“No! No! No!” Kieran shook his head for added emphasis. “Brian is waiting and so are the eggs. We need to go right away…there’s no time for hanky-panky.” Turning around, he grasped the trunk handle with both hands and pulled, grunting when it barely moved.
“Hey! Stop, babe,” Logan said, jumping out of bed after seeing Kieran struggle. Brushing aside Kieran’s hands, Logan grabbed the handles and lifted the trunk. “Fuck…what the hell did you put in here?”
“Stuff I have for Brian’s five little Nessies,” Kieran muttered, looking around the room and then pointing to the bedroom door. “You can put it over there so it’ll be easy to take downstairs.”
Logan carried the trunk over to the door, setting it down with a thump. Then sitting on the top of it, he asked, “It seems like an awful lot of stuff…you know we gave them a baby shower.”
Rolling his eyes, Kieran said, “That was then, this is now. We can’t possibly show up without some gifts for the little Nessies.”
“I guess not,” Logan muttered.
“Now…chop, chop! I’ll pack for us while you go tell Jackson.”
Shaking his head, Logan asked, “I’d be glad to but what exactly am I supposed to say?”
Leaning out of the closet, Kieran stared at his mate for a moment before asking worriedly, “Macushla,are you okay?” Then hurrying over to him, Kieran felt hisforehead. “You don’t have a fever…but maybe I should call Mac…”
Grabbing hold of Kieran’s hand, Logan kissed the back of it before saying, “Babe, I’m fine…I just don’t understand why you want to go to Scotland to see Brian. If you want to talk to him, Zane can set it up usingFaceTime.”
Plopping down on his mate’s lap, Kieran hooked his arms around Logan’s neck and said, “Macushla, remember when Brian and Reif asked me to be present when their eggs hatched? And I said yes? Well, my spirit woke me up—well, actually he woke up Squirt, and Squirt woke me up, so I guess I shouldn’t say Spirit woke me up cuz Squirt might be upset because I was ignoring his first big achievement and didn’t expect him to understand our spirit until he was born. But it appears I was wrong because he did understand what our Spirit was telling him to do…come to think about it, I should put that in his baby book right away.”
Logan tightened his hold on his mate before Kieran could leave. “Babe, I agree our Squirt is amazing but I still don’t understand why you want to go to Scotland.”
“Oh. Well, you see it’s very simple…I promised Brian and Reif I would be there when their Nessies were born so we have to go right away.”
Logan blinked, then blinked again before asking, “You know for sure the eggs are about to hatch?”
“Yes…well, not me exactly, but our spirit does. I asked him to let me know when it was time for them to be born and…”
“It’s now, right?”
Nodding vigorously, Kieran said, “Yup…that’s why we have to go, or I won’t be able to keep my promise and I always keep my promises. You can ask Theo and Norm…I promised I wouldn’t leave them at Arald’s…even though I could have escaped…because we were friends and they needed to believe in something just so they could survive and it gave them hope, especially Theo because he was so sad his parents didn’t love him anymore. And I also gave them love, and that’s why we have to go… so I can make sure the Nessies are filled with love when they enter our world.”
“And so you shall,” Logan replied, kissing his mate on his forehead. “You go pack and I’ll see Jackson. Did our spirit tell you how soon the eggs will hatch?”
“Not an exact time but he said it would be soon,” Kieran replied, wringing his hands. “I’m just so afraid we won’t make it in time.”
“Don’t think about that right now,” Logan murmured, kissing his mate again before letting Kieran get up. “Just go pack. Does anyone else have to go with us?”
“No…just us.”
“That should make this easy,” Logan said, giving Kieran a love tap on his butt before heading to the door. “I’ll be right back.”
