It had been three weeks since they bonded with one another, but he and Kian were determined to go through with the final gift of the courting ritual, which was comfort and home. Since they already had a house, Kian came up with the suggestion of a nursery, which Mason agreed was an excellent idea. A nursery could represent comfort and home to their future child. He figured that would be close enough to fulfill the requirement of the courting ritual.
Mason, Blake, and Kian had gathered all of their parents ten days after they mated for a cookout in the backyard. They also invited James and Anthony, who were responsible for them being able to meet and eventually mate. One or more of them must have been carrying a virus because Blake had started vomiting on and off three or four days after that day.
