I ask as Gerald comes through the door, he jumps on the bed beside us, pulling us both in for a cuddle
“Why’d she do dat?”
“She was really really sick, but she’s gone now and that’s all that matters”
I tell him pushing hair from his face, Gerald clears his throat
“Well now that he’s alive and safe we have to talk about something important. Because of what happened to Dexter we think it would be best if he forgets this ever happened, so nana, Opa and oma are going to make sure he doesn’t ever have to think about it again so all he’s going to know is that he was adopted by nana and grandads.”
He looks at me for reassurance, I nod as he continues
“That they are his mum and dad now. Do you think you can keep it a secret from him, even when you're mad and you want to lash out, you never talk to him about it. You can talk to all of the rest of us about it but never to Dexter. Not ever”
He looked so confused, but it’s the only way he will ever have a normal life, he deserves that much after everything that’s happened to him.
“So jus pretend day dead all alonga!”
“Exactly”
I answer, he nods his head
“It betta that way, he shoul geh the best mumma like meh”
I grin up at Gerald who rolls his eyes.
Apparently I’m the best mumma but he’s never said it to Gerald and it was starting to get on his nerves
“Well that’s because I have the best boys in the world, like your dad is the best dad to?”
“Da bestest”
I smile up at Gerald who looks satisfied with that answer so I relax, closing my eyes and taking in the scent of my boys.
————-
Months pass in a blur, life finally becomes a routine, Hunter had settled into our life and Dexter settled into nanas. They had both come on strides, they would be starting kindergarten in a few months time but until then we were making the most of everyday life.
I was nervous about him starting school because I haven’t been away from him since the moment we brought him home. All day everyday I spent my time with him, we work and he plays, he sleeps and we play, it was a full, regular routine that I loved.
Tom had moved out of our house, he was lost, his heart was breaking and dad was working to break the severed bond so he could at least get on with life.
Today was beautiful, we decided we would take the kids to the lake and go swimming, The boys loved it so we were all excited to go, spend some time and have a bbq.
The place was packed full of other pack members, some kids, others were teenagers but most were there just to relax and blow off a little steam.
Bella takes a seat beside me groaning, as she does both boys eyes light up, obsessed with her growing baby belly.
“Baby”
Hunter calls kissing her stomach, I chuckle as Dexter kisses the other side resting there heads on her bump
“Well aren’t you both just my men in shining armour, this little girl has not stopped kicking all day and you both seem to have the ability to make her sleep”
She grins shaking there hairs as they grin at each other
“Our baby girl da best baby girl”
Dexter tells hunter
“The bestest ever”
They kiss her belly again, dad smirks down at them both holding out his hands
“Now that you have put baby girl to sleep let’s go play I’m bored”
I roll my eyes at dad, he was the biggest kid of all the kids
“Mumma can we go in da flwoaty”
Hunter asks jumping on top of the huge dinosaur floaty that him and Dexter insisted dad buy.
“Yes but you need an adult with you both”
Dad zeros his eyes in at me
“I’m perfectly capable of watching them both at the same time
“Here I’ll go”
Scott says, grabbing Hunter and throwing him over his shoulder. he squeals, giggling his little heart out as they run of to the water to join jaxon.
Gerald plops down beside me, he looks around then smirks, rolling on top of me and settling between my legs.
“Ewe at least wait until I move”
Bella yaps, rolling onto her knees and getting up.
I chuckle as he nips at my lips kissing me, his hands run up my sides, deepening the kiss, his tongue playfully prods my own as he moans.
I deepen the kiss further, tangling my fingers in his hair, his beard scratches at my chin, my body goes almost limp under him, he tastes fenomenal, so good my panties get wet.
Suddenly water is thrust over the top of us, I scream in shock as dad laughs
“Get off her there’s kids around”
He scolds us, I flip him the bird as he ecstatically laughs. Gerald growls, swooping his leg out and tossing him and this time it’s me laughing my ass off.
“You asshole”
“Would you mind your language”
Nana scolds hitting dad round the back of the head, he flinched pouting like a baby as mum lands on his knee
“You ok?”
She asks sadly, he smiles growling lowly at her
“I am Now”
He starts to suck on her neck being gross as usual so I throw a bottle of water at them
“Put her down there’s kids around”
I say in a mocking tone. Dad flips me the bird, making me laugh.
I see an older looking lady with grey hair, she was in her 40’s if not 50’s. She wore a long red flowy dress, she was very small in height and she had absolutely no fat on her body. She was like a stick.
She watches us for a while until I wave at her taking her off guard but she just kept staring, dad turns to look at her and he freezes turning back with a face of thunder
“What is wrong? Who is she?”
He scratches the back of his head looking to mum, she peers over his shoulder and growls
“Hunters biological grandma”
“On who’s side”
I answer, gritted teeth and all. It didn’t f*****g matter what side, both were failures in my f*****g opinion.
“We don’t know the fathers parents but that’s the mums mum”
She starts to approach us, my heart starts to hammer in my chest. She clears her throat and puts her hand out to me, I look at it
“Hey I’m palm Murphy”
Gerald shakes her hand as I ignore it
“What’s up?”
He asks popping the p
“Well I wanted to meet him”
“Who?”
I ask her, her jaw ticks as she stares at me
