"Uh...thanks," Leo said and blushed as he accepted the coat and put it on, happy to be wrapped in something with Brayden's scent.....Leo mentally shook his head. What the hell was he thinking? Damn hormones....

Leo followed Brayden out to nurse's counter, watching as the nurse dashed off to find the doctor. He nodded at Bayden's words before following him out to his truck. The same truck they arrived at the hospital in. He hesitated when he saw the truck as memories from the night prior to his arrival at the hospital came back. He then shook his head and climbed in. Those were in the past. Time to put the past in the past, focus on the here and now, and build a better future.

"Could be," Leo said, shrugging as he shut the door to the truck. He then looked at Brayden in curiosity. "Secrets? What kind of secrets?....Nevermind. You'll show and tell me once we get there I bet."

As Brayden pulled out and headed for the area surrounding the cabins, Leo fought the urge to reach out and grab Brayden's hand. Leo crossed his arms placing his hands in his armpits, not because they're cold, but to not reach out and hold Brayden's hand like his body was telling him to do.

'Damn hormones,' Leo thought with a sigh. 'Either that or I really am starting to take the place of Brayden's original mate. In a lot more ways than one. To him, I'm an incidental mate carrying his children...or so I'd assume that's how he views me. I don't know if I should feel happy, depressed, or angry about that....'
