To the Moon and Back

Chapter 27

                                                           *Sammy’s POV*

           Apparently the pups were still nameless. J wanted the kids and I to name them, we decided to name 1 each and we would name the fourth together. “we should give momma a name too, what do you think Jason?” his eyes lit up with emotion when he heard my suggestion.  “that’s a Great idea Kitten!” he replies with one of his damn smiles.  The kids were now all over the idea of naming the wolf pups.  They were brainstorming names for their pup as well as the mom.  After several minutes of rigorous debate,  It was decided that the momma wolf would be dubbed `Lilly Potter’. Lilly was ready to die protecting her pups.  We named one of the boys Harry potter, ok so I named him,  but the kids agreed.   One of the girls was named Natalie after black widow, the other Astrid from How to train your dragons. When I said I wanted to name the last pup Maxwell Jason`s  whole body stiffened and when he looked at me his eyes were almost black again.  After a second I noticed him shake his head and blink a few times. “ are you ok Jason”  “um yeah just uh dirt in my eye, why Maxwell?”  “oh, I had two Pits with that name Maxwell and MJ, they were such good boys, Smart strong and protective. So, I guess I just really like the name.”  Alice seemed to be besides herself I don’t know what was so funny, but they sure had some serious inside jokes. “ we should get to the next thing Boss man”  Alice manages to say when she finally composes herself.  Noooo I don’t want to leave the pups.  “waitttt we gotta leave the pups?!?” I say pouting like a child.  My puppy eyes and pouty lip earn me a deep rumbly laugh. “Sammy, do you want them to ride in the carriage with us?”  “YESS PLEASE” I almost yell, holy s**t Sam that’s smooth. I hurry to add in “i would like to have as long as possible with them because let’s be real when is the next time I’ll have a wolf pup in my arms.”  Alice and Jason met each other’s gaze and immediately dissolved into laughter as soon as I finished my sentence. The kids and I looked at them confused as to what was so funny. After another moment or two of the two chuckle heads trying to gain their composure, Jason finally managed to  tell me the pups can come with us.  After we said goodbye to the other animals we piled back into the carriage.  This time when Jason tried to help me into the carriage I let him.  The pups had fallen asleep in my lap as soon as the horses started to move. The ride was over far too soon for my liking.  Since the pups were sleeping so soundly Alice volunteered to pup sit while Jason took us to our last surprise.  After Jason had helped all down from the carriage I noticed we stood outside an old-fashioned mom and pop shop.  Looking around I noticed the wide variety of items. They had everything from fresh baked goods, produce, live plants little toys and even a cute little stationary section. It was such a cute little one stop store; it offered a tiny bit of everything.  Jason cleared his throat, and all our attention was brought back to the absolute god of a man, that was now pushing two small carts. My eyes widen when I realized what he was about to do.   “FARMERS MARKET SWEEP!” I was about to gratefully refuse his offer, but he immediately shut that down “I don’t want to hear how you can’t accept or any nonsense like that!” “But-“ I started to argue, however he shot me a look that told me it was pointless to try. “ok Fine if you insist!” I conceded, he turned his attention to the kids “so the rules are as follows; No pushing or fighting. If its in your cart when time is called you keep it. Kids you have three minutes to grab whatever you can. Kitten you have two minutes”  he sounded so official; it was so damn hot. Jason pulls out his phone and sets a timer for 3 minutes.  “ok kids are you ready?” “Yesss” they yell back in unison.  At this point they`re basically vibrating with excitement. “three minutes on the clock! 3-2-1 GO!”  the kids are off like horses out of the gate. They split up both in a frenzy grabbing anything that grabs their attention! I see they both have some live plants and baked goods. I don’t have much time to watch the madness. Before I realize it a whole minute is almost up “Get ready Sammy, here is your cart” he pulls the cart from behind him, and I grab the handle. While grabbing the cart I see my favorite Fresh apple cider doughnuts. Mmmmm. Now I’m getting excited  “Ok Kitten Your two minutes starts in 5-4-3-2-1 GO!” as soon as he booms out Go I take off to the fudge and doughnuts. I clear the whole display of fudge and most of the doughnuts.   I hear Jason laughing his ass off at me. Fudge is life I don’t care. After the tasty treats I head to the plants and grab a bunch of new babies for my greenhouse.  As I’m placing a few more herbs in my cart I hear Jason Yell “Less than a minute!”  the kid’s mad laughter is feeding my own. All of us are now scurrying about grabbing anything that catches our eyes. When he starts counting down from 10 we all squeal and rush to our final objects the kids head towards the candy I head towards Jason.  “TIME” Jason booms his voice is loud and naturally dripping with authority. Normally I hate being told what to do, but his is a voice I`d happily take orders from. We all arrive laughing and giggling at the front of the store where Jason was waiting for us. I don’t notice Alice walking up until I hear her laughing as she says, “So let’s see All of the plundered goods!”.  “So, it’s safe to assume you like fudge?”  Jason says while looking at the large pile of fudge boxes in my cart. I turn to answer sarcastically but that damn friggin smile of his makes it hard to breathe. Especially since the barn. All I can think about is what else that mouth is good at. I swallow and smile before I answer honestly  “yes it is one of my favorites.”   “Noted” he says as he casually traces shapes on my arm. “Let’s see what the kids got!” he suddenly says excitedly! Goddess thank you for hearing my pleas, so far so great! “that sounds wonderful” I answer as he takes me hand. We join Alice who is already checking out the kids haul.  Since we are all going the same place we decided that we can empty Marie and Johns carts at the same time.   It takes longer to empty the carts then it took them to fill them that’s for sure.  It looked like they had managed to snatch up at least 1 of the whole store!  Alice looked over at the kids’ stuff and then at my cart. She laughed before giving me and Jason a more serious look “is this all going to fit on the bus?” oh s**t. No, it sure wont. Plus, I don’t want to take all this back and make the other kids jealous. “hmm  I don’t think it will” “you guys were so fast and got so much stuff!”  Jason says while smiling excitedly at my kids.  I bet he would be an amazing father. My thoughts were interrupted by Jason, he had turned his attention to me. “Maybe I should just drop this stuff off  at your house tonight? We don’t want the other kids to get jealous.” He tells me causing me to smile. It takes me a moment before I notice it. but his Perfect beautifully sculpted face is silently begging me to invite him over.  Every single part of me wants him over tonight but I don’t want to scare him off by being needy or clingy.   “I don’t want to be a bother.” I sigh out. “Nonsense, Sammy, I suppose if you feel bad about me making the trip you could always just have coffee ready for me.” He says while his eyes shine with desire. Oh man he wants to come over as badly as I want-. My thoughts were scrambled and forgotten when he flashed me that panty dropping smile of his. “So, what time should I be ready for you?” I say while wiggling my eyebrows at him. We both erupt in laughter. It’s so nice to be able to be silly with him.
