章 10: 10 Reporting to Sam

"Please stop, Will. I don't think we should talk about this." He gives his friend a troubled look that caused Will to laugh. "We really should get some food, though. Kitty hasn't had dinner yet, and with our baby in her belly, she needs the proper nutrients." He wrapped his arm protectively around her waist and starts to lead her to the door.

"I am now interested in what happened while I was with my family. After all, you are the father of our baby." She giggles and smiles, looking up at Leo teasingly. "Although Leo is quite right. I'm feeling rather hungry. Can we please go down to the restaurant?" Kitty smiled and let Leo led her to the door where she sat down, and Leo helped her put on her shoes. She smiled and ran her hand through Leo's hair.

"Of course, let's head down. We can chat over dinner." Will watched the two interact and was rather pleased. He took a picture on his phone and sent it to Sam. The message he sent said. ~Look who I ran into with Leo. It looks like you were right that the two of them would become a couple, but they're expecting a baby. She looks so happy. I don't think you should worry so much, Sam.~

Sam's reply was quick. ~ I can not believe she didn't say anything to me! I'm so happy they really match each other perfectly. Leo seems cold, but his expression is very warm in the picture.~

He smiled at his fiancé's response. ~Okay, we're all heading to dinner. I'll message you when we're done. I love you.~ With that, he put his phone back in his pocket.

Kitty glared slightly at Will. "You just reported to Sam, didn't you? I'm going to have so many emails, and it'll be all your fault." She pouted as Leo opened the door after putting on his shoes. He took her hand and lead her to the elevator.

Leo looked down at Kitty. "Don't worry, it'll be alright. I'm sure Sam will respect your choices, my dear." Everyone got on the elevator and went down to the restaurant. Leo pulled out the chair for Kitty, then sat beside her and looked through the menu. 'What to eat? There's always too much to choose from.' He looked at Kitty, who didn't open the menu. "Do you know what you want?"

Kitty sat down and smiled, and when the menu was placed in front of her. She had decided to get her usual food, so she didn't even bother opening the menu. "Yes, since it's not my first time here. I suggest trying the grilled balsamic chicken or the coffee spiced lamb chops. I'm going to have fettuccine primavera. I need to be careful about what I eat for mine and the baby's sake." She smiled as her hand rubbed her belly.

Leo was happy with the suggestions as he was not sure what to have. He was completely sold on the coffee spiced lamb chops as soon as she said it but at the same time was surprised that she would suggest it. "I thought you didn't like coffee."

"I don't like the bitter after taste of coffee, but the way they cook the lamb is exponential. The coffee flavour is different, therefore quite nice. I mentioned it because I know you like coffee, and Will was staring at the chicken menu, so I deducted he might enjoy that as a meal." She smiled and looked at the guys' expressions.

Will was the first to recover. "Wow. I think this is the first time for me to have a female pick out a meal for me based on the menu page I'm looking at. I'll go with your suggestion. I was torn, so that really helps me out. Thank you, Kitty."

After Will spoke, Leo also was pretty happy. 'She's very attentive. Another trait that makes me love her more.' He waved the waitress over and started to order his meal. "I'll have the coffee spiced lamb chops and coffee to drink."

Will ordered next. "I'll have the grilled balsamic chicken and also coffee to drink."

Kitty looked at Cindy. "Cindy, I'll have what I had last time but to drink. Can I please have strawberry lemonade and a cup of water?"

"You bet Kitty. I'll be back with your drinks. Kitty, will you order the same dessert today as well, or do you want to think about that and see how you feel after you eat?"

"Let's wait and see how the little one makes me feel and decide afterwards," Kitty replied, and Cindy bowed and walked away. "I've been eating here on and off since I came home. If I didn't eat at the restaurant, I would get it delivered. The staff here are amiable." She smiled. 'Cindy is, after all, one of my people. She knows to keep a secret, and besides, everyone is on edge about the hunters being in town, but with me in the restaurant, it'll ease their minds at least a little bit.'

Leo looked at Kitty and watched her interactions with the waitress and noticed it was different from Sam. She was a little protective and super friendly. "An old friend, I take it?" Leo asked at last. He leaned over and kissed the top of her head.

Will watched the whole interaction in silence. "I think the town seems a little on edge, but now that we're having dinner here, it seems like I was mistaken."

Kitty slightly paused at Will's words. "You could say that Cindy is an old friend. Wouldn't you be surprised if all of a sudden you had two very handsome men come to this far away hotel? And to boot, they came alone but are staying under the same company name?" Kitty looks at Cindy coming back with the drinks. "Cindy, this is Will. He is engaged to Sam. The girl I was telling you about." She points at Will and then turns and looks at Leo. "And this handsome gentleman is Leo, the father of the baby in my belly." She left the words my future partner for life unspoken. As it could cause problems if Will found out that they weren't human. 'Will is very keen on emotions, so let's test my theory and hopefully, I can throw off his suspicions.'
