Becoming the Luna

Chapter 348



Chapter 348

Dream snickers at Virgil's sound of exasperation, Hayden laughing beside him.

"Think we can lose Leon and my brother?" He asks sneakily, Hayden's grey eyes twinkling at this.

"It's worth a try." Hayden is quick to agree, knowing that they'll be easy to find as soon as Ian got his hands on the GPS tracker.

He wanted to get back at Virgil a bit for keeping him cooped up in the apartment for so long.

'"You'll drive." Hayden says quickly, tossing the keys to Dream because he knows how carefully he drove, no way they were losing Darian and Leon with that. "We'll take my husband's car." Hayden chuckles evilly, darting into the passenger seat while Dream takes the driver's side, both throwing their bags into the backseat as Dream hits reverse, tearing out of the parking lot.

Their happy laughter fills the car, Dream double checking that Hayden did up his seat belt, driving carefully because they're barely back on the main road when he sees Leon and Darian coming up quickly behind them.

He slows down when their car speeds up to cut them off in front, both warriors apparently not caring that they were causing a ruckus in the middle of the road.

Dream stops the car, sharing a worried glance in Hayden's direction. "We might be in a little bit of trouble."

"Are you both okay?" Darian is asking as soon as he comes around, throwing a reproving glare at his younger brother.

Dream rolls his eyes at this question, noting how they were both staring them down like they expected to find both Omega's badly injured and bleeding. "We're not made of glass."

Hayden nudges him at this, Dream clamping his mouth shut reluctantly. "We're fine, thank you, we're sorry for worrying you." Hayden says politely.

Both warriors relax visibly at this, still looking skeptical at Dream being the one behind the wheel. 

"It's fine." Darian mumbles. "We'll keep our distance."

"So stuck up." Dream mutters when they could drive off again. "I have no idea how you stand it."

Hayden shrugs. "It's not half bad really, it just got worse now that I'm pregnant, plus I know they're just worried for my safety." 

Dream glances at him, good thing they didn't know he was pregnant as well then or they would be forced to ride in the backseat with Leon and Darian, probably a couple other Warriors tailing then, he wouldn't put any of that last his older brother.

"So, how's it like being pregnant?" He asks casually.

Hayden leans backwards into the seat with a sigh. "Honestly, I'd say I'm getting used to it, there's still the crying jags and the throwing up but what I'm having a hard time getting the hang of is how I'm always so hungry"

Dream watches with wide eyes as Hayden reaches into his bag to bring out a cutesy covered bowl of strawberries with chocolate topping, unwrapping a fork.

"Hay aren't we going to Honey's?" He asks skeptically, watching Hayden that he knows, barely eats enough in Dream's opinion, easily scarfing down the fruits.

"Oh, yeah, we are." Hayden responds with his mouth full, careful to not get chocolate on his top. "Want some?" He asks, offering some to Dream who keeps his eyes on the road.

There was no reason to briefly lose control of the wheels because that would mean either Leon or Darian would drive them around for the rest of the day.

The berry impaled on the tings of the fork gets close enough to Dream's face and then his stomach says no, lurching violently that he has to avert his head to hide a gulp. "I'll probably order some at Honey's, finish up this one yeah?" He says to hide his revulsion.

'Way to go, Daydream.' He glances down at his tummy, rubbing it a little. 

It would be a little bit hard explaining his way out of a situation like having to park the car to throw up on the side of the road hangover? Please

Hayden notices this, wondering if Dream was hungry but maybe he didn't want to eat while driving - silly him - He shouldn't have even offered.

By the time they get to Honey's, Hayden has already put his now empty bowl of strawberries away, he couldn't catch Dream's familiar scent of honey and some night flower but he doesn't ask about it, if his friend felt more comfortable with hiding his scent, that was just fine.

He was practically doing the same anyway, Shana had said that his pregnancy pheromones would be hidden for a couple months more, nothing bad, just his physiology acting up. It was special enough that he could even conceive and Hayden didn't worry much about that, as long as it wouldn't cause any harm to the baby.

So any average Werewolf that ran into them wouldn't even be able to tell that he was pregnant.

"Told your grandparents yet?" Dream asks while they wait for their orders, he already knows about basically everything else and while he listens to Hayden ramble on about his current situation, he wishes he could share too.

Hopefully, he will be able to soon. 

"Well, Aunt Candy knows about it but we planned to wait till my grandparents came over to visit to surprise them." 

Dream looks pleasantly surprised at this. "That's going to be one hell of a surprise." He says, his right hand going to his stomach again - it had easily become a habit.

Hayden's sharp eyes picked this up again, he had chosen to not push Dream about his well being, although he could easily tell that his friend was keeping a lot from him.

Knowing Dream, he would open up when he was ready and not before, he could be patient.

Hayden still makes no comment about that, their food coming, he watches Dream basically pick his food, his nose twitching every now and then like he was cautiously checking the food's compatibility with his stomach.

Hayden found himself doing that often too and he knows it's a wild guess but he blurts it out anyways.

"Dream?" He starts in a quiet voice, getting the other's attention who is lifting his glass of orange juice to his lips. "A-are you pregnant?" He asks nervously, playing with his sunny side up eggs.

Dream chokes on his juice at this, coughing as he stares at Hayden with wide eyes, tears in the blue-grey orbs.

Hyaden panics at this, worried for his friend as he half rises from his seat with a napkin. "O-oh my G-God! Dream, I'm so sorry, I-I shouldn't have said something like"

A gag from Dream cuts him off, both staring at each other with wide eyes, realization sinking in on both sides.

Dream hiccups, snatching the napkin from Hyaden's outstretched hand before dashing away from their table, very clearly headed for the rest room.
