Farrin winked, “There are presents for my newest, I hear nephew, in those boxes. Congratulations again.” I squealed and did another little dance. Farrin waved goodbye. I whispered, “Wait!” Farrin asked, “Now, you whisper?”
I said, “I need you to do snow prints that led Dylan from our room to here.” Farrin grinned, “You do suit my adopted brother quite well. I hear that you are going after those rogues still living. Do let me set one on fire if you feel so led. Mom and dad want to, as well.”
I agreed, “Definitely. That’s an adult Frost family outing if I ever heard one.” I put my hands up, “And I know that you don’t have our last name, but you also understand what I’m saying.” Farrin chuckled, “I do. I appreciate that sentiment, Lacy.” He hugged me again and popped out.
Dylan feet sized snow prints appeared in front of me. Fairies were awesome and never missed a trick. I hadn’t thought to ask for them to be Dylan’s tracks. Kiara yawned, “They are. We are having a Christmas pup.”
I agreed, “We so are! The Beta blood just has to be activated in this pup. Alpha’s love rules too. So, Dylan will cover the Beta blood, and I’ll just tell our pup that’s the rule. We’re so good.” Kiara laughed contentedly in my head.
I went over the sound system and began to stream Christmas songs through the speakers softly. I told Kiara, “Tell me Fang is awake.” Kiara chuckled, “Fang is awake and is prancing down the hallways following the footprints.” I turned up the music louder.
Dylan came in and gasped, “WHAT A MERRY CLITMAS!” I snorted, “That was probably several days ago.” Dylan winked, “Two and half days, my precious mate.” Dylan broke out into a broad smile asking, “Does that shirt mean baby boy Hank Frost is in your Christmas oven?” I nodded and Dylan ran to me.
My mate spun me around then set me down. My husband threw open the window and shouted, “IT’S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE IN SEPTEMBER! THE FROSTS WILL HAVE A CHRISTMAS PUP!” Dylan knelt down and kissed my stomach.
Dylan cooed, “I will open all these presents for you Hank, even though they have nothing in them. They are wrapped; therefore, they must be opened. Those are the rules.” I chuckled, “Farrin conjured them.”
Dylan squealed, “HANK MY SON, THERE ARE PRESENTS TO OPEN!” Dylan pulled me over and sat me on the couch. Lucas and dad stumbled into the room minutes later. Dylan sighed, “Where is your precious Water Fairy mate, Lucas?”
Emmaline popped in with Debbie. I snorted, “Did you wake them up to watch you open presents?” Dylan replied, “Of course I did!” Lucas groaned, “Dylan, why?” Dylan gasped, “Don’t be grumpy and come see all the presents my newest son’s Fairy Uncle has conjured him.”
My husband whispered, “Not to call you a slacker, Sleep Tyrant but little Hank already has all these presents from Uncle Farrin and Auntie Trixie.” Mom squealed, “You’re pregnant?” Dylan saluted the room, “Of course she is. I told my swimmers they had a task. A good Beta never drops the ball.”
I confirmed, “Farrin came to tell if I was glowing or not and I am.” Emmaline echoed that, “She is glowing.” Emmaline linked me, “Just the one light too.” I snorted, “Since your sister got me the deal to make sure it was just one, I’d have gotten Haley to prank them if they messed that up.” Emmaline smiled back at me.
Lucas came over and gave me a hug whispering, “Congratulations, Lacy.” Buttercup and Finn were popped in by Wesley. Both my pups looked at Wesley who nodded, and they screamed. Buttercup squealed, “I knew it was true! Thanks for confirming it, Wes.”
Dylan answered, “Of course it is true, my precious Princess.” Mom asked, “How do you guys know?” Dad answered, “Dylan shouted OUT THE WINDOW to the entire pack that there would be a Frost born on Christmas. The pack link is on fire.”
Mom asked, “He did?” Dad chuckled, “I love you from the depths of my soul, but a train could run right next to you and use their horn and you still wouldn’t notice.” Landon came in muttering, “I’d ask what’s going on, but Dylan’s shouting woke me up.”
Dylan hummed, “And you took so long to get here. We’ll work on your timing. I’ll create an obstacle course here in the house for you, little Landon. We will get you up to tip top speed.” Landon snorted and produced a strudel for me.
I cooed, “Awww, thank you baby brother.” Landon stuck his tongue out at Dylan, “I read all your memo’s about how when Lacy was pregnant with Finn and Buttercup that she wanted strudels, so I got up and made her one.”
Tears pricked my eyes. Dylan gasped, “LUCAS, LOOK QUICK! AN ALPHA WHO READS MY MEMOS! HE IS AS RARE AS A CHRISTMAS PENGUIN FLYING BY A WINDOW!” Lucas rolled his eyes saying, “I read your memos.”
Dylan grabbed my little brother, “Just for that, you super special Alpha I have been nurturing to be a whole new breed of Alpha, you open that side of presents for baby Hank. Lacy, you sit right there on that couch.” I sat down and presents appeared beside me.
Emmaline put her arms around Lucas from behind saying, “Those are from us, our kids, Dale, Debbie, and Landon.” Dylancheered, “That’s right you precious Water Fairy Luna! You can’t let Lucas be edged out of favorite uncle because he’s a slacking Sleep Tyrant who didn’t get presents.”
Lucas sighed but it was with a smile. My nieces and nephews popped in and hugged me. The whole family sat down and Buttercup, Finn, Landon, my nieces, nephews, and Dylan tore into presents for baby Hank while I rubbed my tummy, excited for this next chapter in our lives.
Anger Stage Activated
October
Dylan was excited. Fang purred, “It’s our anniversary.” It was in fact Halloween. The Luna, Beta, and Gamma Females got together and planned a massive Halloween party for the pups. Haley planned one separately with Anne Bartlet for their pack since they wouldn’t come to our pack, but everyone else was here.
I spotted SGAP who had been moody since his mother’s car wreck and subsequent death. I’d decided his time to brood over that was up. It was time to move on from that horrid woman. I glanced back at the pups. They were in the massive haybale maze.
It was a corn maze, but Haley insisted we call it a haybale maze because it was made up of haybales not corn. It was all set up to perfection. Honestly, they out did themselves this year. I knew that was my mate’s own personal challenge to herself.
Fang purred, “Mate is going to have something fun set up for us later.” I knew that. Every year my mate tried top her zombie attack. It was the best tradition she’d started, and I adored every single second of it. Which is why certain people were not going to be allowed to wallow over horrible people’s deaths. It was for the best anyway. Life was better without Mommy Queenie Meanie.
I skipped over to the Conners group. I squealed, “SGAP, you have risen out of your funk to celebrate my anniversary. I know I keep saying it, but you just have to stop declaring your love like this. We have mates now and this is my anniversary party.”
SGAP dryly retorted, “It’s a party for the pups and my entire pack is here.” I chuckled, “I know. All to celebrate me and Lacy.It’s so sweet of you. It directly contradicts with the persona you project for the people.”
