“No can do.” Alec nodded as he pulled Ice to their car. Jasper was in the distance trying to get a fighting Emmy in his car and Jacob headed straight to his. We walked over to the car Emmy brought for us to head home in. Opening her side, I let her get in before going to the drivers side.
“Do you want me to drop you off and then go to the morgue or do you want to go with me?” I asked, putting the car in drive, we were first out of the parking lot.
“I’ll go with you.” Penny said simply, like we were just going to get ice cream.
“You sure?” I asked.
“Sure am.” Penny looked out the window. Reaching over, I took her hand in mine as we drove the hour home. At some point, Penny’s eyes closed but her head never left the head rest. It wasn’t until we pulled into the driveway at the pack house did I wake her up.
“We’re home already?” She asked, looking around confused.
“We are. You fell asleep quickly.” Getting out, I walked over to her side and opened the door for her.
“I haven’t been sleeping the best.”
“Why didn’t you just let me take you home?” I asked as we walked inside.
“I won’t be sleeping better until this belly is gone.” Yeah, there wasn’t anything I could do to help with that.
“Maybe you need more pillows under you for support?” I tossed an idea out there.
“Maybe.” Penny yawned as the morgue door came into view.
