Chapter 538
"How are you feeling this morning?" Alec asked as I was getting dressed. Alec kept true to his word and I think I got maybe two hours of sleep last night.
"Well rested." I wasn't happy he won but damn if it wasn't enjoyable.
The humor that cfrom Alec maderoll my eyes at him. "If you say so." "Where did the rope cfrom?" I asked. Since we were going shopping, I didn't want to wear anything too much but the snow was still falling. I would need to wear my boots so I opted for skinny jeans and a nice fitted long sleeve shirt. There was a thin layer of make up on and my hair was left down and straight.
"Been saving it for the right time." Alec muttered as my phone rang.
"You're up early." I said as I answered the call.
"Yeah, Jasper needed to do something so I got up. What are you doing today?" Emmy asked.
"Going shopping for a dress with Penny. Want to come?" "Oh! Could I?" Emmy sounded excited.
"Of course you can. Get dressed and get over here." "Okay!" Emmy hung up onas Adalynn started crying.
"The roads are going to be slick so be careful." Alec stood up and started buckling his pants.
"I'm going to take the jeep. What are you doing to do today?" I asked as I walked out of our room and into Adalynn's room. She was sitting up, looking at the door. "Good morning!" I said in a sweet voice. Adalynn raised her hands up to me.
Picking her up, she laid her head on my shoulder for a few seconds until she heard her dad. "Someone is happy this morning." Adalynn sat up and reached for her dad. "Seriously?" Rolling my eyes, I handed her over to a very happy dad.
"Daddy loves you." Alec whispered in her ear as went to the closet.
"Then daddy can change her and get her dressed." I said slightly annoyed and with a melted happy heart.
"Mommy is just sad she is second in daddy's life now." Alec said in a baby voice.
"Can you say that again so I can record your baby voice for the warriors you have to go work with today?" I pulled out my phone and took a picture. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"Only if I can record all the sounds you made last night... oh wait! I had you too numb to speak." Alec smirked atas he finished dressing Adalynn.
As I opened my mouth to respond, the door bell rang. "Ass." I muttered as I walked off. Alec's laughed echoed across the halls. "Hey!" I said as I let Vivian inside.
"It's slick out there!" Vivian was dressed head to toe in so much gear that I even wondered if she was a wolf.
"I bet! Glad you made it here okay. I'm not sure what kids you will have today." "That's fine!" "She hasn't had breakfast yet but Alec is changing her and getting her dressed." I said as he walked around the corner.
"She's ready." Alec said as he carried her in front of him. Adalynn got a huge smile on her face as she saw Vivian. Clapping her hands together, she reached for her.
"Someone is happy this morning!" Vivian laughed as she took her and headed to the kitchen.
"Do you need anything before we head to the garage?" I asked.
"Nope. We are good!" Vivian put Adalynn in her highchair and started cutting up a banana.
"Love you!" I said and kissed Adalynn on the forehead. Alec did the sand we headed to the garage.
Don't you think it's tfor another >ne?" Alec asked as I grabbed my coat. Alec was putting on his gloves and bat before he grabbed the hovel. w"It's not like you have been preventing one." I frowned at him. "I would still like a little more tbetween." Hitting the button to open the garage, Atec walked up behind me.
As I turned, he grabbed my hair and pulled my head back so I was looking at him. My eyes instantly rolled back on their own. S "I want them to be as close as you are with Colt. We need to have an army close together." Alec pressed his lips against mine. "I don't want triplets!" I laughed as I kissed him back.
Unfortunately, a honking sound interrupted us. Alec was annoyed as he walked away fromand got the shovel. "Letclear ssnow for you." "Hey!" Emmy smiled at Alec as he started shoveling. Alec just tilted his head in response but Emmy didn't seem to care. "Ready to go?" "Almost. Alec is clearing ssnow and Penny should be here soon. I wanted to make sure I had an emergency kit in the jeep." There was jumper cables next to a tote. "What's in there?" Emmy asked as I picked it up.
“Blanket, water, granola bar and other stuff like that.” Another car caround as I put it in my trunk. "Penny's here!" "Great! Let's go!" Emmy got in the passenger seat.
"Emmy? Are you coming with us?" Penny asked with a smile.
"Is that okay? I need a dress too." "Of course!" Penny walked up to Alec. She muttered something I didn't hear and walked back to us. Alec nodded and walked back into the garage.
"It should be okay for you but it has started snowing more. Try not to drag this out and make it hsafely." Penny got in the jeep to give us sprivacy. "Will do." I stood by the driver's side door as he walked up to me.
"I mean it. Be safe, Kristen. I don't want a phone call saying you are in a ditch.
lec looked atwith more emotion than I'm used to. "Like you said, you could be pregnant now." "So, you are worried about any potential baby, not the incubator?" Folding my arms, I popped out my hip.
Alec rolled his eyes at me. “Just be safe.” He kissed my forehead and turned to leave.
"Bye!" I yelled as I got in.
"Can we do doughnuts?" Emmy asked, making Alec freeze. He turned his head and glared at her.
Emmy blew a kiss at Alec as I pulled out of the garage. "Do you have a death wish?" Penny asked, trying to hind her uncomfortableness.
