Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 54


    Chapter 54: A Mother’s Love


    Charlotte showed up at the house bright and early the next day. A single phone call the day before,


    where Serena had expressed wanting to talk to her mom, and the Luna promptly appeared with donuts


    for the kids! “Morning, morning everyone,” Charlotte sang as she came into the house. “Grammy!”


    Olivia said. “I’ve got donuts for you,” Charlotte said, setting the box of the warm pastries on the table.


    Olivia and Oliver each grabbed one out of the box and started eating. “I’ve got coffee,” Serena said,


    handing her mother a mug. She grabbed a donut for herself before they vanished in the kids’ mouths,


    and poured herself some coffee too. *Wonderful” Charlotte said, taking a seat at the table. “I was


    worried about you, dear. That call was…uncharacteristic.” Serena eyed the kids. “We’ll talk after Dana


    takes them to daycare,” Serena said. Charlotte winked at her daughter and nodded. Olivia and Oliver


    had their mouths smeared with powdered sugar. Serena wiped them off just as Dana arrived to take


    them to daycare. “Oh, it looks like you had a special treat for breakfast,” she said. “Want a donut?”


    Serena asked. “There are plenty.”


    “Thanks,” Dana said, grabbing one from the box before heading off with the kids. Serena listened for


    them to all walk down the front steps before she sighed and sat down at the table across from her


    mother.


    “Serena, talk to me, darling,” Charlotte said. Serena looked up from her steaming coffee at her mother.


    She hadn’t felt close to Charlotte during her years in school when she was in the human world. Now


    that her mother knew about the kids, she felt closer to her, but there was still a part of herself she was


    keeping hidden and reserved. “I got confirmation on who the father of Olivia and Oliver is,” she blurted


    out. “What?” Charlotte asked. “I thought you didn’t know who it was.” “I didn’t” Serena said. “I had my


    suspicions, though.” “Honey, this is huge, why didn’t you tell me any of this before?” Charlotte asked.


    Serena sighed again. “It isplicated,” she said. “I didn’t want to talk to anyone until I had answers. I


    even sent the bloodwork out to a humanb.” “Why all the secrecy?” Charlotte asked. Serena wasn’t


    sure how much she wanted to


    tell her mother. She didn’t want to reveal Logan as their father, but she knew if she wasn’t careful with


    her wording, her mother could narrow down who the suspects


    were. “It has been over five years,” she reminded her mom. “I don’t know if this male remembers me, or


    the time we spent together. There was a lot of alcohol involved. I didn’t want to make any usations


    orpletely change another wolf’s life without the right proof to back it up.” “That’s understandable,”


    Charlotte said, sipping her coffee. “You’re going to tell him now, though, aren’t you?” Serena shrugged.


    “I honestly don’t know,” she admitted. “It isn’t that easy…” “Why not, does he have a mate and a


    family?” her mother asked. Serena thought of how to answer that question. **Not exactly, at least, not


    in the most traditional sense;” Serena said. “I just can’t


    imagine how I would even start that conversation.” Charlotte chuckled “I think you can find the right


    words,” Charlotte assured. Serena shook her head. “Yea, I can just walk up to him and say ‘do you


    remember me from that one night stand all those years ago? Because, guess what, you’re a dad,” she


    said with an eyeroll. Charlotteughed. “I’d trust you to have a little more tact than that,” she said.


    Serena shrugged. “I don’t know,” she said. “This is all very confusing, mom. I wasn’t really expecting to


    have confirmation, but then I started wonder, and things started to make sense in ways I wasn’t


    expecting.” “You might not believe it, darling, but I do understand,” Charlotte said. “It isn’t always easy


    to be honest.” “So much time has passed,” Serena said. “I just can’t bring myself to uproot someone so


    unsuspectingly.” “Can I ask who the father is?” Charlotte asked. Serena shook her head. “I mean, you


    can, but I’m not going to tell you,” Serena said. “Why not?” Charlotte asked. “I want to tell him first,


    before anyone else,” Serena said. “It would be awful if I told other people first, and then somehow he


    found out through someone else.” “You think I’d tell anyone?” Charlotte asked, raising an eyebrow.


    Serena chuckled. “I know you, Mom,” she said. “You’d tell dad. He’d tell Santino, and then who knows


    where it would go from there.” “Okay, okay, you’re right,” Charlotte said with a smile and a chuckle. She


    took another sip of her coffee. Serena looked down at her own coffee. She hadn’t even taken a sip yet,


    and the


    steam had stopped rising. It was getting cold. Now that she knew Logan was the father of her kids, it


    only made her rtionship moreplicated. It hadn’t been any kind of relief or closure, especially


    since she had to contend with Holly’s pregnancy. “What’s on your mind, Serena?” Charlotte asked.


    “Mom, it is moreplicated than just changing the life of someone I barely know,” she said, “Not just


    because I don’t know if he’ll remember me, but because he does have a personal life. His girlfriend,


    possible future mate, is pregnant.” Charlotte let out a whistle and shook her head. “I’m sorry,” she said.


    “That doesplicate things.”. “And this female…she isn’t one that I want to be inpetition with.


    She isn’t one want my children involved with,” Serena exined. “I see,” Charlotte said. “I’m guessing


    this male is part of Night Sky?” Serena nodded. “Yes. I only discovered the connection when I came to


    work here,” she added. “Have you thought about maybeing back to Starseeker?” Charlotte


    offered. “It could put some distance between you and give you the time to figure out what you want to


    do.” “It isn’t about what I want,” Serena said. “It is about what is right. What is right for the kids, what is


    right for their father.” Charlotte stood up and came around the table. She stroked Serena’s cheek.


    “You’re so grown up, dear,” Charlotte said. “I’m proud of you,ing to that conclusion.” “Thanks,” she


    said. “I just don’t know how to go about doing what I know is right.” “Maybe you should start with telling


    Olivia and Oliver,” Charlotte suggested.


    Serena thought about it. If they knew Logan was their father, they’d never keep it a secret. She could at


    least tell them she knew who their father was, or ask them if they wanted a father. She had to time it


    right. If she began talking like that to her kids and then she wasn’t ready to reveal the truth to Logan


    yet…she knew the kids would start talking She’d already told Logan their father wasn’t in the picture, if


    he found out that she’d told the twins she knew their father, that could cause him to ask questions. It


    would lead to all the answers she didn’t want to give. So, Serena knew she had to time things perfectly.


    Whatever she did, she knew it wouldn’t befortable for her or for Logan. “Thank you for being here,


    Mom,” she said. “I’m always here for you, darling,” Charlotte said. “But, whatever you decide,


    remember that the kids deserve to know where theye from.” “You’re right,” Serena said with a nod.


    “I’ve kept too much from them their whole lives. They only just found out they were werewolves when


    we came to Night Sky!” “Then, you shouldn’t hide anything more from them,” Charlotte advised. “You


    know, it doesn’t matter if this male wants to be a parent or not. The kids deserve to know, and so does


    he. You should confront him.” “I will,” Serena assured with a nod. “I just want the timing to be right.”


    Charlotte chuckled.


    “I don’t think there ever is a right time for this kind of thing,” she said. “Perhaps you should just pull the


    band aid off.” “Maybe I should” Serena said with a sigh. She finished her coffee with her mother, and


    they are thest of the donuts. Serena was so d that her mother hade through with support and


    advice. She was also grateful her mother hadn’t pried for details when Serena had been reluctant to


    give them.

    Part of her knew that her mother wouldn’t stop there. There was a chance that her mother would snoop


    and try to find out more information. Serena had to be sure no one would have that information until


    she was ready to reveal it. “Thanks foring by,” she told her mom as they walked out onto the front


    porch. It was a bright, sunny day. “I’ll always be here for you,” Charlotte said. “That’s what a mother


    does.” “I know,” Serena said. “I’ll see you soon.”
