Chapter 58


    We ate dinner, or should I say breakfast, for dinner. Kalen was reluctant to leave and was very hands-on,


    ying with the kids, but we needed to get them showered and dressed for bed, so Kalen said his


    goodbyes and left, stating he would see us at the Alpha meeting.


    “Vrian, time for a shower, buddy, then you have to go to bed,” Valen told him. Vrian got up off the


    lounge, and Casey followed.

    “Casey, you will have to wait until he hops out,” I told her. “But mum showered with Marcus with clothes


    on. Why can’t I shower with Vrian?” Vrian scrunched his face up while I just looked at Valen, hoping


    he would exin, but it was Vrian that answered her.


    “Gosh, you can be silly, Casey.


    People don’t shower with clothes on.


    How would you get clean,” Vrian asked while shaking his head.


    “Na, Marcus did. He told me he was showering with clothes on with mum,” “Probably because he didn’t


    want to tell you he was making babies with Aunty Zoe,” “You can’t make babies in a shower, wait how do


    you make babies?” Casey asked, and both of them looked at us. Well, that diverted quickly.


    Valen cleared his throat and pulled at the neckline of his shirt, ufortable with the direction the


    conversation had gone. “And how does the baby get in there?” “Ah, must I tell you everything? The man


    takes the baby and puts it in a cabbage, the woman eats the cabbage, and her belly gets fat,” Vrian


    says. Valen raised an eyebrow at his exnation while I tried not tough.


    “That’s not how babies are made; you got that of that cartoon, the one the cabbage patch dolls,” Casey


    argued. ‘Well, how else would mum have a baby,” Vrian retorted. “Fine, they would know. Ask your


    parents,” Casey huffed and pouted. I snickered as I bailed, leaving that for Valen to find a way out of.


    Starting to clean the kitchen, both kids looked at Valen expectantly, who seemed very ufortable.


    “Um, they just happen,” Valen said; that was his big exnation to the birds and the bees. “But how?”


    Casey asked. “By showering together,” Valen blurted. “See, I told you, Marcus was making babies in the


    shower,” “You said the man puts the baby in a cabbage, so if he is showering, where does the cabbage


    come from,” Casey asks, and Vrian seems to think.


    “I don’t know, let’s g****e it,” Vrian says, racing to the table for his father’sptop. However, Valen was


    quick to get to his feet and snatch theptop up before he could grab it. “No, it is bedtime. Shower now,”


    “But we want to know,” Vrian whined. Valen scrubs a hand down his face before looking over at me


    and ring at me, and I smirk. “Yes, best exin how babies are made, Alpha,” I chuckled, and he


    growled at me while both kids waited for him to answer.


    Valen dropped onto the couch with a sigh. “Well, when a man and woman love each other, they do


    grown-up things which make a baby,” “What grown-up things?” Vrian asked, suddenly very interested


    in this topic of conversation. “Like um, kissing and hugging, and adult wrestling,” Valen offered, and the


    kids pulled grossed out faces.


    “Wait is mum kissing Marcus in the shower with clothes on, ” Casey asked. “Ah Casey, I told you people


    don’t shower with their clothes on,” Vrian asked. “Yeah, they do. Or Marcus would see mum’s private


    parts,” “So! People see private parts all the time when they shift. Remember that hippydy out at the


    reserve, she took her clothes off before shifting, and we saw her butt, and her big hairy front butt,” “Huh,


    you’re so smart, Vrian; I forgot about that,” Casey says.


    “But if mum and Marcus are kissing in the shower, oh, oh, oh I am going to be a big sister, I always


    wanted to be a sister,” “Where are we going to fit a sister? Our house is too small, and no baby is


    sleeping in my room,” huffed Vrian before he shook his head, walking off to the bathroom.


    “I’m going to be a sister, I’m going to be a sister,” Caseyughed and danced in the living room. “I say let


    Zoe break the news about being a sister, and thanks for the help, by the way,” Valen said,ing over


    and grabbing a tea towel and drying the dishes as I washed them.


    “You are aware I have a dishwasher?” he asked. “Yep, I needed an escape. Dishes sounded like a good


    one,” I told him. After the kids were showered and dressed for bed, I helped tidy up their dining room and


    living room mess. “Are you staying in our room, or?” Valen asked hopefully. “Yes, and you mean your


    room.


    I don’t live here,” “Yet,” Valen says, and I shake my head at him. “Besides, Zoe will need the extra space


    since Casey is going to be a big sister,” Valen chuckled.


    “I’m sure Marcus has an apartment or ce?” “Nope, he prefers to stay at the packhouse,” “Well, if by


    chance they decide to have kids, I will move out into one of the other ts at the hotel,” I tell him. “It’s not


    if by chance, more like when they have kids. Marcus has always been vocal about wanting kids. And why


    would you move into another apartment when you can move in here,” “Valen,” “What, you said so


    yourself that the media will go crazy when we announce we are mates, I could imagine the stories


    already if we don’t live together, Everly,” Valen said, picking up all the pencils that fell under the table.


    “We can work it out,” I tell him watching him set the pencils into their rightful ces. That would take all


    night if he nned on putting them in their selected spot. Shaking my head, I took them from him and


    jammed them in any order.


    His jaw clenched, and I knew he wanted to sort them, but Casey would only pull them out again. ‘Or you


    can stop being so damn stubborn and move in here, “I happen to like being on my own; I don’t have to


    answer to anyone besides I have the Hotel so I need to be at the Hotel,” “Then I will move in with you,”


    Valen says.


    “What part of I like my independence don’t you get?” “The independence part because we are mates,


    Everly. Mates live together, not in separate ces besides Vrian likes it here, and I want to be with my


    son,” “I swear, Valen, if you pull shit like Micha, I will lose it,” “Then don’t make me. Vrian can’t go from


    house to house just because your too stubborn about living with me. Either, we are mates, or we are not,


    Everly. So make up your mind,” Valen snapped.


    “I am not saying you can’t see him; I am just saying I don’t want to live with you,” “I am sick and tired of


    your mixed signals, one minute, you’re saying you will be my Luna, and now this,” Valen growled before


    he stormed off angrily, I felt terrible because of the stupid bond.
