Hope and Kace went to get her pregnancy checked up for the first time and after that the doctor kindly gave advice and showed them what a normal birth looked like.
"How is it possible for something so big to come out from there?" Hope whispered to Kace, who was also in the same dilemma as her.
Kace was shocked and speechless when he watched the simulation video. "It just looks like something out of a sci- fi horror movie," Kace whispered back to Hope.
"I think it will be a thriller since it includes some blood," Hope replied.
Both of them only fell silent when the female doctor cleared her throat before explaining everything about pregnancy.
Kace and Hope were very fascinated with every small detail that the doctor told them, since this was their first time experiencing it.
The two of them looked adorable together, just like a young loving couple in their early twenties. No one would believe that Kace was over a few centuries while Hope was even older than that, if one counted the years where she went missing as well.
Yet, it didn't matter how old they were, as they would live long enough to love each other.
Sometimes, Kace would tease Hope or it would be the other way around, or they would do stupid things together, just like when they went on a shopping spree for the baby, but brought the wrong card which had been expired, thus they couldn't pay the bill.
And because the shopping center that they went to was closer to Torak's pack than to their own home, Kace called his second brother to come to his rescue.
The urgency in Kace's voice compelled Torak not to ask much and he immediately went to see him.
Only when he arrived and knew what the problem was, he looked at the couple, annoyed. How could they be still so reckless when they were going to have a baby soon?
Meanwhile, Kace and Hope could only give him innocent faces, talking sweetly to him and even asked him to have lunch with them, of course it was on Torak, since they didn't have the money.
"No, I will have lunch with Raine," Torak rejected Kace downright and threw the card to him. "Send it back to me when you are back at home," he said and walked away, but before that he added. "Including the money that I paid for your stuff."
"Cheapskate," Kace murmured.
"And I can hear you," Torak warned his brother.
"I thought you were my brother," Kace shouted. "How can you be so calculative with me?"
"Money is money, brother." Torak glanced at him through his shoulder and then continued walking away, didn't even bothering to answer him again.
"Let's go eat something delicious." Hope also didn't bother with the two squabbling and took the card as she walked in the opposite direction.
And that day, Kace and Hope continued shopping again until the shopping center was closed, making Torak even more annoyed with the notifications that came into his phone multiple times whenever they used the card.
"You can turn off the phone, you know," Raine giggled behind him, as she put her head against his back and smelled his refreshing scent.
"He did this on purpose, knowing this will irritate me, how childish," Torak grumbled, before he put his focus solely on his mate. This was the best way to cool down.
And the card, Kace only gave it back when they visited Torak when Raine gave birth to Aurora, which rendered the card useless because it was already expired by then.
The interaction between the two of them would always be like that, since they were in sync when it came to fooling around.
Or, there would be times like the one when Hope was eight months pregnant and Kace said he would make breakfast for her.
"Be ready to fall for my charm," Kace said confidently, making Hope giggle when her expectations rose that this would be the best breakfast that she could ever get.
However, five minutes later, not even a smile appeared on her lips when she saw two pieces of toasted bread on her plate.
"'Be ready to fall for my charm' you said?" Hope repeated what Kace said earlier, while staring at the poor toasted bread and a bottle of strawberry jam.
"Do you want to eat pineapple jam as well?" Kace laughed upon seeing Hope's expression. "I like to mix the two."
There were also couple fights between them, which only happened on rare occasions, yet when Hope was on the verge of unleashing her wrath, Kace wouldn't dare to say a single word, especially when he was the one in the wrong.
One such rare squabble happened when the twins were six years old.
Kace was upset because Hope didn't come to Stanley's housewarming party, even though they had been waiting for her until evening.
Today Stanley moved to a new home and Kace had written it on the calendar board, where a note for every event or activities during this month for the entire family was stuck meticulously. This had become a habit for them, so no one would forget.
But, Hope missed it and she didn't pick up her phone either.
"Today? No, you wrote that the housewarming party is next week," Hope was upset because Kace scolded her.
Well, actually the lycan was anxious because she didn't pick up the phone. As it turned out, Hope was in the kids' room to put them to bed and her phone was in their bedroom.
Even Stanley also came, just in case something happened to her.
"No, I wrote that it was today!" Kace argued back. He insisted that he had written it right.
Without saying much, Hope pulled Kace to the kitchen where that damned calendar board was hung and pointed her finger at the date.
"Do you still want to argue with me?" she asked sarcastically.
And it appeared that Kace indeed wrote it wrongly, yet he was too embarrassed to admit it, thus he murmured something that didn't make any sense. "Somebody must have rewritten it wrongly…"
Upon hearing that, Hope started to laugh and Stanley, who was standing next to Kace, whispered in his ear.
"When a woman starts laughing during an argument, it means you just activated the psycho part in her brain, you better apologize, buddy."
