Chatting with Jack getting to know each other was nice. We've kind of been up and down since we first met. Then, his children walked in.
"Dad, are you ready for dinner?" Sutton asked.
"Yes, we have an annual Friday meal out to catch up on our week work school, etc." he said.
Sounds lovely. Well, you all enjoy. She'll speak to you tomorrow. It was nice to see you all again. She was about to walk out when Sawyer said.
"Quinn, why dont you come?" he said.
Oh no, she wouldn't want to intrude on your family tradition.
"You are family now." Sawyer said.
Oh, he was such a sweet boy. She wanted to say yes, but everyone else. Only if it's okay with your dad, Sutton, and Sapphira. Be honest she won't be offended if it's a no. She looked at Sutton and Sapphira.
"Yes, sure," Sapphira said.
Sutton? "Okay, but no affection between you both. I don't need to see it."
Jack? "I'm happy with that," he said, smiling.
We headed into the pack town centre. Where are we off, too?
"Every week someone picks where we eat. Tonight is Sawyer's turn, so it will be hotdogs." Jack said laughing.
"Hay don't knock the hot dogs," Sawyer said.
Quinn laughed. She likes hotdogs, it's a good choice. We sat at the diner. The waitress came over and laughed, then walked away. She clearly knew what they were having. She is guessing there is no need for menus. Jack laughed. waitress came back with drinks.
"Mary, this is Quinn. She will be joining us tonight," Jack said.
"Hello Quinn, it's nice to meet you. What would you like?" she asked.
She'll have whatever their eating and a strawberry milkshake.
"No problem on its way," she replied.
Jack started to ask them questions, and then it was Sawyer that turned to her and asked if he could ask her questions. Of course, Sawyer, you both aswel Sutton, Sapphira. Ask away, and she'll answer best she can..
"Do you like it here?" Sawyer asked.
Yes, Sawyer, she does. Everyone has been welcoming. Her suite is lovely and comfortable. Your father has been patient it's a lot of change for her.
"You didn't leave your pack often?" Sutton asked.
No, not often. Her parents didn't like her leaving in case she got hurt. She's wolfless. Do you know what that means? All nodded. She is strong she can fight, but the bottom line is that she can't shift.
"What's your favourite food?" Sawyer asked.
"Seriously, that's what you're going to ask her," Sapphira said.
Quinn laughed. It's okay, Sapphira. She will eat most things, but her favourite is pizza. How about she just talks, and hopefully, she answers questions you might have.
Obviously, her name is Quinn she was named after her dad. He's called Quentin, and he is a war general. As are her older brothers Kruz and Levi, both mated have children. She has a younger brother, Kit, and twin sisters Brianna and Saffron.
All are still unmated. Her mother, Bree, is an accountant and financial adviser. She herself has her accounting degree. She also has a fashion and design degree. She owns a company that makes gym sports wear for women, and she's just branched out into kids.
"I didn't know that," Jack said.
It's a small company she's been doing it for 2 years. She designs them. She runs it's with her 2 best friends. She designs Ellie in charge of production she's at the warehouse most days, making sure the fabric is right and the patterns are correct. Lottie is in charge of sales and merchandise. We all do a bit of everything.
We are currently looking for kids to model the clothing for the website. You both could do it if that's okay with your dad?
"I dont see why not," Jack says.
"What about Sutton?" Sapphira asked.
She thinks Sutton might be a bit mature for the kids' range, but she could definitely for the adult women ranges. We are bringing out a sleak bold colour range, no patterns, just bold satement colours. Sutton height will make them look gorgeous. Only if she wants to. Sutton was just staring at her.
"I'll think about it," she said.
The food came it was a dish of 6 different hot dogs, all different meats in a different bread bun. All had a different sauce to compliment the meat. Oh, this is good. Well done, Sawyer. Sawyer was beaming.
"You say that now, but after a few times, it gets old," Jack said, laughing
"Well, at least it will be every 5 weeks instead of 4 now. Quinn will have a pick, " Sapphira said.
"Me?" Oh no, she couldn't.
"You can if you want to," Jack added.
Erm, okay, it will be pizza and ice cream, just a heads up. She smiled. Sutton slammed her glass down. Sutton got up to go.
"Sutton, sit your butt back down. Quinn doesn't know, " Jack scowled her.
Jack, it's okay. Let her be angry. She wants to know what she said wrong. "Sutton, tell me, please." Sutton had tears in her eyes. She looked at her dad and siblings and ran from the table. Jack went to get up, but Quinn placed a hand on him. She'll go, you eat.
She headed outside, and Sutton was leaned against a tree. Sutton, she's sorry for however she upset you. It wasn't her intention. Please explain it to her.
"Pizza and ice cream was my mother's meal choice," Sutton said
Oh, she sees. "I'm sorry, Sutton." She didn't know that not one of the things your father told her about your mother. She wouldn't have said it otherwise. She would have picked something else.
"You talk about my mother?" she asked, wiping tears from her face.
Yes, of course, she was a big part of all your lives. Jack has told her about Sara. Sutton, she's not here to replace your mother. Selena has matched her with your father for a reason. We are still getting to know each other. She told your father firmly. If his children or his pack aren't happy with her being here, she will leave.
"You'd do that. Give up your goddess gift, mate?" she asked.
Yes, for her and Jack to just think about themselves is selfish. Are you ready to go back in? Sutton nodded. We sat down. She had Sutton sit next to Jack. Jack hugged his daughter.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm sorry for storming out. It was because......." she started to say.
"I know." Jack said.
So what are the planned desserts?. Trying to change the subject. Everyone laughed. What?
"Cotton candy," Sawyer said
Really? that's not good for your teeth. She hopes you give them a good brush before bed.
"Mom used to say that," Sawyer said.
Smart woman, she was right. Quinn laughed. It's was a nice evening chatting with the kids getting to know them, school, hobbies. Before they knew it, it was 10pm. Sawyer had fallen asleep, and Sapphira was on her way. Sutton was iching to go meet her friends. Sutton, go. She and your dad can sort Sawyer and Sapphira to bed.
"Are you sure I'd normally help out?" She said.
Yes, she's happy to help. You go have fun. "Be good," Jack added.
"Yeah, yeah. spoil sport, " Sutton said
Quinn laughed. "I guess your idea of fun is the same as my fathers," Sutton said.
Oh no, no, no. You ask her own father, Sutton. She was a full headache to her parents. Oh, the stories her parents can tell you.
"Oh really?. I would like to hear them ," Sutton said.
Maybe when your father isn't around. Her and Sutton laughed.
"Why do I have a feeling I'm not going to like this relationship between the two of you?" Jack stated, shaking his head.
Oh, bonding over mischief, she likes it.
"I like it too. Especially if it annoys my dad," Sutton said.
"Quinn, Sutton," Jack stated firmly.
Sutton, go before your father changes his mind. Sutton ran. She smiled. Jack was just shaking his head. Quinn picked up Sawyer and Jack Sapphira. We carried them back to the pack house. Terry was in the doorway.
"I was just coming to find you. Quinn, your parents are on the phone. " he said.
Okay, thank you. She tried to pass Sawyer off to Terry, but Sawyer wouldn't let go. Tell her parents She'll ring them back in the morning. Terry smiled.
"Of course, Luna." Terry answered.
She carried Sawyer to his room. She took off his shoes and tucked him in.
"Quinn," he spoke.
You're meant to be asleep.
"Can I ask you something?" Of course, what is it.
"Could I one day call you mummy?" he asked.
Quinn just stared at him. She didn't know what to say. Sawyer, because she is mated to your dad, don't think you have to want to do that.
"I know I like you. I miss having a mummy," he said.
Oh, this little boy was going to kill her with love. If that's what you want, Sawyer, she would be honoured. She kissed his forehead, and he went back to sleep.She turned to leave, and Jack was in the doorway. Did you hear.
"I did." Jack said.
How do you feel about that?
"Not surprised at all. He's told me before he misses having a mum. Sorry if you feel pressured. "
No pressure, Jack, that little boy already has "my heart." She just didn't realise it until now.
