“I wasn’t going to argue. I’m too tired to argue. Not only have I been too uncomfortable to sleep, I have been living in fear someone will take my babies. Now that I know they are safe, I just want to sleep.” Penny gave Kristen a small smile.
Elaina pushed the bottle from her mouth. Setting it down, I pulled her up so she was on my shoulder and tried to burp her. “You’re good at that.” Kristen said to me.
“Only doing what I saw in the movies. I have no idea if I am doing it right.” As if Elaina had the perfect timing, she let out a very large burp. “That’s my girl.” I chuckled as she curled her head in my shoulder.
“She didn’t do that for me.” Penny frowned.
“She is a daddy’s girl.” I said back as I leaned back and got comfortable. There already was a soft spot in my heart for her.
Alec’s phone started ringing. He looked down at it and then walked out of the room. I just wanted him go, conflicted on what I should do. My heart wants to say with Penny and the babies but I knew I still have a responsibility to the pack to finish this. “Penny, I know you don’t feel good but there are some thing you will need to be told and make decisions on. Those obviously don’t need to be done right now but when you are ready.”
Penny sighed. She handed the other boy to Kristen and stood up. She started walking to the bathroom. “Tomorrow. I’m ready to go home and sleep.” Closing the door behind her, it was just Kristen and I left in the room.
“Thank you for offering to help, Ice.”
“We are family. The only family I have. Of course I would do anything to make you sure both are okay.”
“Is it weird to think a year ago you were stressing about finding your mate?”
“Seems like a lifetime ago.” Ice laughed. “Alec said that Alpha Carson wants to have a party to celebrate before everyone leaves.”
“He mentioned it.” I vaguely remembered that.
“I’ll get it all figured out and organized.” Ice said as Penny came out of the bathroom.
“Organize what?” She asked before sitting back down on the couch.
“Alpha Carson wants to throw a party for our victory before everyone leaves.” Kristen told her.
“That’s all you. I’ll show up but that’s it.” Penny sighed and curled up in a ball.
“Ice, can you asked the doctor if we can leave since Elaina ate all she was suppose to?”
“Of course.” Kristen stood up and put the babies in the crib since Penny didn’t move to take them.
As soon as she was gone, I looked at Penny. “You don’t have to go.”
“I know but I need to. Like you still have responsibilities to the pack, so do I. I can’t ask them to call me Alpha and not act like one. I’m going to take some time off of my duties but I will still make some public appearances for awhile. It looks like Elaina will be okay so now it’s just getting back to a new normal.”
The door opened quickly. “I heard you are ready to spring loose?” The doctor said as he walked in.
