Two months later
“I can’t believe you’re having your commitment ceremony here at the big cat sanctuary,” Lacey commented as she finished Tamara’s makeup.
“Creole wanted to be around his family. Both bipeds and quadruped,” Tamara explained. “He loves volunteering here.”
“He invited me to help on the animal rescue team. I’d love to learn more about big cats,” Lacey said.
“You have a Mastiff shifter. One would think that would be enough,” Kimber teased. Anthony finished nursing, Kimber burped him. “Thanks for delaying the wedding until His Royal Highness finished lunch.”
“You know you and Anthony are important to our family, too. We want both of you comfortable. Don’t worry. I sent a note to Creole, so he knew what was going on.” Tamara turned to her friends. “We ready?”
“You girls are making me get teary-eyed again,” Melody, the hair stylist, said. “I swear, I’ve never been this full of tears before meeting you.”
Kimber snorted. “I thought that too until I found out I was pregnant.”
The color drained from Melody’s cheeks. “Oh, Mylanta.”
Lacey and Hadley squealed with excitement. “Oh, another baby!”
“That’s fantastic news. Did you know?” Tamara asked.
Melody looked shyly at her feet. “I suspected. But this was your day. I wasn’t planning on telling anyone until I took a formal test and saw the doctor.”
Still grinning, Melody carefully wiped away her tears. “Now, let’s get you down the aisle. I’m sure I can hear how impatient your groom is already.”
Tamara nodded and stood. “Let’s go get me my mountain lion.”
At the doorway, Dan stood guard. “Let me take the baby.”
Tamara noticed the shy blush that appeared on Kimber’s cheeks.
A baby for Melody. A new love for Kimber. A commitment ceremony for herself. It was a perfect time for new beginnings.
Their gazes met as Tamara proudly walked down to join Cree in front of the altar Quinn stood behind.
“It’s my honor to join these lifelong friends as a couple we can all be proud to know,” Quinn began. Under the protective canopy of trees and surrounded by their friends, Quinn declared them mated.
