I laughed, “He’ll probably keep it up until he can pass it over to Finn. Or he’ll have them both throw two separate ones.” Travis and Jackie came over and hugged us both. Then Dylan literally ran towards me. I couldn’t stop the smile that adorned my face, my mate was so perfect.
Kiara chuckled, “I’m in trouble for not being in our chair.” I asked, “Our what?” Emmaline linked, “Aww, he got you a special chair.” I replied, “I wanted to go see my pups.” Emmaline asked, “When has Dylan ever worked out a solution where you don’t get what you want?” I acknowledged, “That’s very true.”
I linked Jackie, “Do you see these massive not chairs?” Jackie answered, “I want to say I don’t believe it, but I do. I also know which one you’re going to pick.” Lavender was my favorite and people could sit on the giant snowman couch with me. It was the clear and logical choice for me to make.
Kiara purred, “Mate loves us so much.” I agreed, “Our husband is the best.” I linked Travis, “You didn’t put a kibosh on the Lacy nap room?” Travis replied, “I’ll never stop Dylan from adding anyone a nap room. It sounds amazing.” Ok, it kind of did.
Emmaline linked, “I’m so going with you to the nap room. I call it.” I nearly laughed out loud. I managed to get on the massive couch. I linked Emmaline, “This is the comfiest couch of literally all time.”
Haley popped in and instantly I was in a different outfit. One that made me feel sexy and not all baby. How the hell did that woman always know what to do? Kiara replied, “I don’t know, but I love it.” I admitted, “You and me both.”
I didn’t even feel when the couch started to move when I said who I wanted to see. Eric literally jumped out of the way. Kiara cackled, “Thor knows our mate is serious, the couch would hit him.” Of course it would.
I smiled at both my pups and rubbed my belly while Hank danced around, desperate to be part of the conversation with his siblings. Emmaline linked me, “I’m sorry, Eric can sew?” I replied, “That’s what he said.”
Kiara said, “Thor says it’s true.” Emmaline repeated, “Eric? The man mated to my cousin and most feared Alpha ever with a super non-progressive about gender roles mom, learned how to sew? Because the math is not mathing for me.”
I admitted, “I have the same thoughts.” Chase knowing how to didn’t surprise me at all, because his mother was always sewing. The woman loved to make clothes and could spendall night at the sewing machine. Mom actually said if Emma Daniels, the former Luna, not my future daughter in law, was nervous or anxious about something she’d make clothes all night long. Frank used to have to wake up and bring her back to bed.
Emmaline sighed when Alpha Theo’s pack was brought up and I saw her rub my brother’s shoulders when they dropped. I linked him, “Lucas, you couldn’t have done anything differently with Aaron and everyone knows it.”
Lucas replied, “Theo’s not here because I am.” I shot back, “That’s his choice. Theo was invited, one could say incessantly.” Lucas wryly said, “It would be remiss of us not to call it incessant.” I reasoned, “No one blames you for what happened, not even Theo.” Lucas locked his jaw, and I knew he wasn’t going to talk about it anymore.
I hated what that situation did to my brother and my mate. Dylan was always trying to fix it, but Theo just couldn’t get over it. One the on hand, it was his brother. This felt mean to Lucas though because everyone knew he didn’t do anything another Alpha wouldn’t have. Aaron just lost it, and that sucked. I’d liked him as a person, just like everyone else had. Lucas did what needed to be done though.
I sighed, “I need food.” The couch was off and moving. Finn linked, “That’s so cool, mom.” I agreed, “It really is. Your dad outdid himself with this. He’s always surprising me with the way he thinks.” Jayden linked, “I got to work on that charm with Cousin Haley. I did the one on your couch because I knew you’d pick it.” I laughed, “You’re so smart and I love the charm. Thank you.” Jayden smiled at me. My nieces and nephews were awesome and thoughtful.
Finn chuckled, “I know, I’m taking notes on what dad does for you.” Of course he was. I told him, “You’ll be an excellent Beta.” Buttercup linked, “Dad is so sweet with you. I love how you guyslove each other.” I chuckled, “You and Wes will have your own rhythm, but I love your dad’s and mine as well.”
I gasped, “Santa Strawberries? Hank definitely wants those.” I grabbed them. I snorted at the name tag. Kiara cackled, “You get that Grinch truffle right now.” Yeah, Hank totally needed that too. Travis joined me and smirked, “Maybe grab some carbs too.”
I snorted, “Hank wants what he wants, Travis.” My brother in law threw his head back and laughed. I groaned, “I don’t know where to put this.” A tray appeared from the couch, and I put my food down.” Travis admitted, “My brother doesn’t miss a trick. I still have so much to learn from him.”
I asked, “Don’t we all?” Travis winked at me. I gasped, “Cake balls? Gimme!” Travis did, then threw on some of the potato hand held delicious looking things on it for me too. I nodded, “Definitely that and that cheese in the form of Santa's beard. Oh, and the red cake. Hank needs red cake.”
Jackie agreed, “Hank does and so does Jackie.” We both busted up laughing and Travis got us both what we asked for. I smiled when I saw the plate labeled:This is LACY FROST’S! DO NOT EAT OR A HAND WILL SLAP YOU!
I felt tears fill my eyes. Dylan had gotten me a burger from my favorite place, with fries from a different place, and chicken strips with jalapenos and pickles with peanut butter. I sniffled, “Travis, can you hand me my plate, please?” Travis admitted, “Probably not, but I’ll try.”
My brother in law tried to grab the plate, but a hand appeared to slap his. Travis snorted, “I’m just trying to hand it to her.” Jackie offered, “Maybe you can tell the plate to come to you, Lacy. That’s how the chair works.”
I admitted, “It’s worth a try. Oh wonderous, precious plate full of things I want to eat, please come to me.” The plate liftedinto the air and came to me. I glanced around and caught Haley’s smile. Jackie laughed, “I guess that one had some wind Fairy help.”
I glanced at Eric saying, “Assisted by someone who has wolf hearing because Haley can’t hear me.” Kiara sniffled, “Everyone is trying to make us cry.” I mouthed, “Thank you,” to Eric who nodded his head, while my mate planned out taking a sewing class.
I linked Dad, “I swear that the number of classes Lucas gets into because Dylan has to learn things isn’t low.” Dad replied, “It’s always good to learn new skills.” I linked mom, “Why would Cassandra have the Conners boys learning to sew in secret?”
Mom admitted, “For the life of me, I could not tell you. It’s honestly out of character.” I snorted, “No joke. I’m certain I heard her telling Jackson that he couldn't play the piano because it was too feminine.” Mom argued, “That can’t be right because she forced Eric to play for years.” Except I’m certain I heard that conversation.
Kiara growled, “That woman was just awful and a hypocrite to boot.” Something several people seemed to clue into. Emmaline linked, “Uh oh. Haley finds that sewing in the basement comment suspect.”
I asked, “What can Haley do though? It’s not like she can ask Cassandra about it. Nor would Cassandra answer, even if she asked about why she did it. Unless Haley decided to use her truth seeking power. It’s really annoying everyone is FINALLY getting a clue about that woman and she’s dead.”
Emmaline agreed, “That’s true. I kind of want that purse Eric made. It’s cute.” Dylan was getting to say classic lines he loved. Hank was busy throwing a party in my uterus while I ate. Jackie asked, “Are you ready for your third pup?” I snorted, “Hank is getting evicted tomorrow.”
Beta Hank Martin said, “You know, you don’t have to name the pup Hank.” I replied, “It’s been going on far too long for me to call him anything else. If it makes you feel better, I vetoed pup Hank’s middle name being Martin.”
Beta Hank laughed then sobered asking, “Beta Dylan was really gunning for my whole name?” I winked, “My husband even threw out your middle name.” Beta Hank shook his head, “That man is a special brand of crazy, but damned if he isn’t our special brand of crazy.”
