Chapter 288\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was thinking about doing something for the women, as an appreciation.\u201d She said like she\u00a0<\/p>\n
remembered something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you have in mind?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA dinner maybe?\u201d Sarah suggested. \u201cWe could host something nice, invite them all over, show\u00a0<\/p>\n
them how much we appreciate what they did.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s a great idea,\u201d I said, warming to it immediately. \u201cThey deserve to be thanked and\u00a0<\/p>\n
celebrated for what they did.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe could do it here,\u201d She said \u201cOnce things settle down a bit, maybe next weekend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s a nice idea,\u201d I agreed because it was the least we could do. \u201cWe\u2019ll make a proper\u00a0<\/p>\n
meal, we can make it special.\u201d I just pray this one doesn\u2019t end the way the last one did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should invite Derek too,\u201d I said casually, watching Sarah\u2019s reaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked at me with a knowing expression. \u201cDerek specifically?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell he\u2019s part of this too,\u201d I said, trying to sound innocent. \u201cHe was at the border fighting, he\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
been helping secure the house, it makes sense to include him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah\u2019s eyes narrowed slightly but she was smiling. \u201cAthena, what are you up to?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing,\u201d I said, but I couldn\u2019t help smiling back. \u201cI just think it would be nice to have everyone\u00a0<\/p>\n
together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone including Kiara and Derek in the same room,\u201d Sarah said pointedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that a problem?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you think I brought out the idea of a dinner?\u201d My eyes shook,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOhh\u201d I smiled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you think we reason alike, we should have been sisters\u201d she said giggling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t help but feel a warm on my chest. It would have been nice to have her as an elder\u00a0<\/p>\n
sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
14%\u00a0<\/p>\n
It would have been a blessing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo how do we do it? Do we put them in a room together and see what happens?\u201d She asked\u00a0<\/p>\n
with a mischievous smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019d make them do same task like it was a coincidence\u201d Serah nodded her head buying the idea\u00a0<\/p>\n
with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, we\u2019ll invite Derek, but if they end up fighting at our dinner table, you\u2019re the one explaining it to Orion.\u201d We both burst out laughter at her words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew she was joking but I responded anyways.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDeal,\u201d I said, excited about the plan now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell then. It\u2019s a good thing we\u2019re giving them a little push,\u201d She said with a mischievous smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I laughed again. \u201cYou think we\u2019re being too obvious?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably,\u201d Sarah said. \u201cBut sometimes people need a little push to deal with what they\u2019re avoiding, and besides, we owe them all a proper thank you anyway so this way we\u2019re killing two birds\u00a0<\/p>\n
with one stone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what I figured,\u201d I said. \u201cThank them for saving our lives and maybe help two stubborn people figure out whatever it is they need to figure out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
We talked for a while longer about pregnancy and motherhood and fear, Sarah shared stories from when she was expecting Lily and Liam, the worries she\u2019d had, the way Orion had been overprotective to the point of being ridiculous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wouldn\u2019t let me lift anything heavier than a pillow,\u201d she said with a laugh. \u201cI had to remind him constantly that I was pregnant, not made of glass.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTristan is already heading in that direction,\u201d I said. \u201cHe tried to carry my purse for me the other\u00a0<\/p>\n
day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 288\u00a0<\/p>\n
She laughed. \u201cGet used to it, it only gets worse as you start showing, but honestly, it comes from\u00a0<\/p>\n
a good place, they just want to protect us and the babies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know,\u201d I said. \u201cAnd I love him for it even when it drives me crazy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan and Orion came back about thirty minutes later, both of them looking satisfied about\u00a0<\/p>\n
something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat were you two doing?\u201d Sarah asked suspiciously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust guy stuff,\u201d Orion said vaguely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGuy stuff,\u201d Sarah repeated, not buying it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it,\u201d Orion said, leaning down to kiss her forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked at Tristan who just shrugged and smiled, clearly they\u2019d been up to something but weren\u2019t going to tell us what.\u00a0<\/p>\n
