“Oh, we used to play that and make wishes,” Wes breathed.
While I didn’t know that game, it sounded just like her. “Perfect.”
She frowned. “While I understand wanting to have applications for the omega scholarships moving forward instead of just Evan randomly awarding them, aren’t most of his given out of urgency? Maybe we should still have the option to award emergency scholarships based on referrals?”
“I like that idea. It doesn’t always have to be full scholarships either. It could be anything that gives them safety–such as a plane ticket or a deposit for an apartment. I know that the Omega Center has some of that, but the money gets allocated quickly. They also can’t help non-omega siblings, but we could,” I told them.
“Stardust Scholars–and theStardust Fund.” Grace snapped her fingers. “Because sometimes you just need a sprinkle of stardust to make some magic.”
“Absolutely. You’re right, there’s a need for both. I love the names you came up with.” I threaded my fingers through hers and squeezed.
While the talk of children made me happy, all these ideas for our family foundation made me equally pleased.
“Oh, you’re awake, great.” A doctor ducked in and checked my monitors. “How are you feeling?”
“Glad to be awake,” I admitted honestly.
She looked over Grace, who just had a wrist monitor like before.
“You’re looking great, Grace. How about if you and your alpha go get some tea? Getting up and moving around will make you feel better. We won’t be long,” she told them.
Grace whined a little.I know.
“Get me some coffee?” Giving her a task might help.
“Okay.” With a sigh, Grace rolled out of bed and put on the shorts Wes handed her, which barely peaked out from her t-shirt. She put on some flip-flops and kissed me.
The two of them left, hand-in-hand, but not before Grace blew me a kiss.
“Is the news bad?” I looked at the doctor.
“Not at all. You should be fine. I just wanted to give you some privacy,” she said.
“She’s fine?” I frowned.
“She had scans and bloodwork first thing this morning, and everything looks okay,” the doctor assured. “Now let’s get you checked out before the rest of your pack returns.”
“Oh, hey, where is everyone?” Brennan walked into my hospital room, holding a bag.
“Grace and Wes went down to the cafeteria, they’ll be back,” I told him. The doctor had just left. I’d called my mother, publicist, and Mrs. K, assuring everyone that I was fine.
“I brought some things for you. Evan’s coming with more.” Brennan set the bag down. “Wow, that’s a gigantic bouquet.”
“Apparently the hospital sent them for Grace.” I used the controls on the bed to move me into a sitting position.
Brennan grunted. “They’re scared that we’re going to sue them.”
“Grace wants to use the money to give all our scholars allowances.” I chuckled.
“That’s so Grace. Um…” His scent went a little anxious. “You don’t have a problem if Grace starts something with Jett… or me… do you?”
“No, not at all, as long as it’s something everyone wants.” While Brennan might be a lot for Grace, I also trusted him to be attuned to her needs.
Relief flooded his face. “Oh good. I don’t know if anything will ever really happen, but well, sometimes…”
Oh.
“If she needs to be taken care of, please take care of her. That’s what packs are for,” I assured.
