She whined. “That’s not fair. I was hoping to do a little shopping therapy over the weekend.”
“We can get gender-neutral clothes for right now,”
I told her. “I’ll go with you.”
She beamed at me.
“Yay! A girl’s day!”
She cooed.
I chuckled as Bri took a large bite of her cookie and moaned as the delicious flavors exploded in her mouth.
“This is sooooo good,”
she breathed with a mouthful of cookies and a little chocolate on her cheek.
Bri had only been staying at this packhouse for a few days, so she wasn’t used to Dee’s baking or cooking yet. Things were still a little awkward for her here; it was a weird adjustment. She never expected to have a second chance mate and I know she has anxiety about it.
She doesn’t want to mess anything up or get heartbroken again.
Despite Ethan’s efforts to make her feel comfortable and assure her that he isn’t anything like Alexander, I know Bri is still worried. But she seems to be warming up to him a little bit more and she even started sleeping in the same bed as him last night.
However, Ethan and Enzo were both accommodating and gave Bri her own bedroom so she could have space for herself to cope with everything.
“I’m glad you like it,”
Dee said, smiling at her. Then, she looked at me and her smile softened. “As long as they are healthy, that’s all that matters.”
“They are,”
I assured her, touching my belly gently with my fingertips. “Val did a great job protecting them during everything that happened.”
“I’ll always protect our pups,”
Val breathed in agreement.
Dee looked like she was about to say something else but was soon stopped when a very loud voice sounded from the front foyer.
“Helllooooooo!!!!!!!”
We all froze and turned toward the doorway of the kitchen which soon burst open, and a familiar figure stood in front of us.
“Where is my welcome wagon?!”
Enzo’s POV
I watched as Lila went inside to find her friend before turning to Ethan who was about to get into the driver’s seat of my car, but he paused when he saw me looking at him.
“Did everything go well?”
He asked, narrowing his eyes at me.
“Yeah, they are healthy,”
I answered.
I glanced over my shoulder at the closed front door before looking back at Ethan who was still staring at me questionably.
“Then why do you look like that?”
I stepped toward him and leaned against the car. Ethan shut the car door and leaned against it as well, still staring at the side of my face questionably.
“Because I know the sex,”
I told him, keeping my eyes on the ground.
“That soon?”
I nodded.
“But Lila doesn’t know,”
I continued; glancing at him. “It’s too soon for the ultrasound to see the sex. But I already know what it is. I want to tell her but—”
My voice trailed off when I saw Ethan’s lip lifting and the confusion washed over his expression.
But before I could say anything more, our attention was quickly turned in the direction of an unfamiliar black Sedan that drove through the front gates of the packhouse grounds and up the long driveway that led in our direction.
“Are you expecting someone?”
Ethan asked, standing up straight.
I stood up straight as well, keeping my eyes fixed on the approaching car.
“No,”
I answered. “I’m not.”
The car soon stopped, and I tried to peer in through the window, but it was too tinted. Just as I was about to knock on the window for them to roll it down, the back door swung open, and the woman’s white healed boot popped out.
I waited for the rest of her to make an appearance as well and soon, she did.
“Hey, Enzo,”
she said as she emerged from the Sedan. “Miss me?”
“Connie?”
I asked with wide eyes as I stared at Connie who was now standing before me. “What are you doing here?”
She chuckled as she threw her arms around me to hug me.“I told you weeks ago I was coming home for a visit,”
she said, pulling away from me and swatting my arm playfully. “Don’t tell me you forgot.”
She folded her arms across her chest and narrowed her eyes at me.
“Oh, my Goddess. You did forget.”
“A lot has happened these last few weeks,”
I told her, rubbing the back of my neck with the palm of my hand.
“That’s an understatement,”
Ethan muttered in agreement.
“Don’t worry, babe. I’ll get the luggage,”
another familiar voice said sarcastically from the trunk of the car.
We turned to see Tyler getting suitcases out of the trunk.
He looked as if he had gained more muscle since the last time, I had seen him.
Connie beamed at him.
“Thanks, love,”
she said, wiggling her fingers at him flirtatiously.
He looked annoyed initially when he was grabbing the luggage, but then he smiled at her and I saw his cheeks growing light pink. He was still very smitten with her; it was good to see that they were still together and going strong.
“Oh, I forgot I wanted to give the driver an extra tip,”
Connie said as she rummaged through her bright red handbag. “It was a long drive.”
“This isn’t your car?”
I asked, raising my brows.
“Oh, goddess, no,”
she said, crinkling her nose like she smelled something rancid. “I’d never drive a black Sedan.”
Tyler joined us at my car with their suitcases in hand.
“We ordered a rideshare from the airport,”
