Hybrid Aria 1-4

Reika POV

One month later

I yawn rolling over onto my stomach before jumping, when I realise I nearly crushed our son. My entire body ached with the extra weight I was carrying. I feel for Ryker yet his side of the bed was cold and his scent weak in the room.

“He probably fell asleep in Lucy’s room” Amanda tells me as I force myself out of bed to go pee. I nod to her in agreement. Lucy has terrible nightmares, and was constantly waking during the night, for the first few days she refused to sleep anywhere beside our bed, Tyson and Ace made the bedroom next to theirs a princess room and managed to convince her to sleep in there but still she gets up, but it was better than being kicked every night and for the most part Ryker puts her back to bed before I even realise she got up.

I washed my hands before pulling on some of Ryker’s pants, they were all that fitted around the growing bump. Once I am dressed I go in search of Ryker and Lucy. I stop at her bedroom door and stick my head in. Ryker was asleep on the floor, his head resting on her pillow on her bed as he slept half sitting up, a book still clutched in his fingers. I hold in my laugh when I see Tyson sititng next to him and Lucy on the bed both of them with texta’s in their hands as they drew on his face.

Lucy puts a finger to lips shushing me as she giggled while joining his eyebrows together with a red texta. Tyson drew on a mustache before laughing quietly and standing. Lucy hands him the texta and he reaches over Ryker and picks her up before walking toward me with Lucy on his hips. He hands me the three texta’s and I shake my head before taking them.

“He is going to kill you” I whisper to Tyson.

“Was her idea” He says motioning to Lucy in his arms and she points at him, blaming Tyson. He pretends to bite her finger and she pulls it away quickly giggling.

“Lets go make breakfast” He tells her before walking down the stairs. The three of them were inseparable. Lucy is constantly harassing them and I have caught them up at midnight playing video games when she was meant to be sleeping. Pocketing the texta’s, I follow them downstairs leaving Ryker asleep on the floor.

“Why do I think Lucy is going to turn into a terror like them?” Amanda says as we walk down the steps. I laugh at her words, yes the three of them were always up to mischief.

Getting to the kitchen, Tyson grabs the cereal down and pours a bowl for himself and was about to pour some for Lucy.

“Not those, they made her hyper last time” I tell him.

“Please, the other ones are gross” Lucy whines. Tyson looks at me and I roll my eyes as he pours them in her bowl before he sends her a wink.

“Fine but you’re dealing with her then, I am getting too fat to chase after her” I tell him.

“Looks like you’re with me today ” Tyson tells her sitting next to her. I plug in the toaster. The only thing I have mastered in this bloody kitchen is how to make toast. Ace walks in yawning before slumping on the table.

“Wake up” Lucy tells him, pulling his eyelids open.

He growls at her and she growls back at him, making him smile. “Flick the kettle on Reika” Ace whines and I roll my eyes, turning it on and grabbing cups down.

“Don’t make them I will, you can’t make coffee without destroying my taste buds” He says as I reach for the coffee. I finish making my toast before sitting down at the table. Ace makes me a coffee and places it in front of me just as Ryker walks in looking rather tired, he cracks his neck and I shudder at the sound. Tyson and Lucy snickering to themselves at his drawn on face. Ace shakes his head trying to hide his smile when he notices and I nearly choke on my coffee as he walks over to me. He grabs my coffee and I huff annoyed.

He takes a sip before looking at Ace. “It’s my first one” I tell him and he eyes me before looking at Ace who nods before he hands it back to me.

“No more today” He says, reaching down and rubbing my belly before pecking my lips. He goes to make his own when I see his eyes glaze over and I know someone was mindlinking him.

“Fuck sake” Ryker growls outloud before I see his eyes refocus.

“Language” Ace says, pointing to Lucy.

“No, I gotta go. Bloody fight between your pack and mine” He tells him. Ryker had started dividing the packs for Ace and Tyson and now some old rivalries had come back, both packs competitive and not liking the change even though there were no borders between them. Some also didn’t like the idea of being told what to do by two teenage boys even though they have both been working their asses off and learning what to do. Ryker tries to get me involved yet I just can;t wrap my head around what I am meant to do and find it stressful.

“Wait” Tyson calls after him.

“First I mustache you a question” Tyson says and I hide my smile behind my cup.

“What?” He asks as he is about to walk out the door.

“Want Ace to go with you?” Tyson says and Ace raises an eyebrow at him.

“He isn’t even dressed, I will be back soon” He says ducking out and I hear him grab his car keys before hearing his car start as he leaves.

“Think he will notice” Ace asks and Tyson laughs.

“Even if he does we already planned it out hey luce” He says nudging Lucy with his elbow.

“Planned it out?” Ace asks confused like me.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Yeah we are going to say you did it” Lucy giggles and I laugh, Ace glares at Tyson.
