She smiled. “That sounds like fun.”
“At some point, I need to teach you how to drive, and we’ll have to get you a car. I don’t want you stranded at home because I’m working. I know fae do that disappearing thing like the sorcerer does, but humans aren’t used to seeing that happen. You could cause widespread panic if you were out somewhere and willed yourself home.”
“Another day. I don’t think I’m ready to take on something as big as a car right now. Maybe you could teach me to cook using your human appliances though.”
“I can do that.” He smiled. “We can head out whenever you’re ready.”
“Can I finish this coffee first? It’s rather good.”
“You drink your coffee and I’ll contact the alpha to let him know we’re coming to the hospital. I don’t want to surprise him while he’s in overprotective mode. And he’ll need to know you’re one of us now.”
She nodded and stared into her cup. He could feel the worry rolling off her and he wished he could soothe her. But she had a reason to be anxious. Gabriel would tear apart anyone he saw as a threat to his child, and he would be more savage than usual. Not that Vaughn thought the alpha would harm Tulip, but he would be fearsome to behold. Vaughn wondered if he would be the same way when his son or daughter came along. It still left him a little dizzy, thinking about being a dad.
The sorcerer had never been wrong before though. If Eric said they were expecting a child, then Vaughn would take the man’s word for it. He had to admit, it was rather exciting, if a bit scary. He only hoped that he could neutralize the threat to Tulip as soon as possible. Once the light fae knew she wasn’t going to harm them, maybe they would help protect her. At any rate, he could hope.
