“It was my honor to be able to save her and it will be an honor to stand next to you in battle. You were always a good friend of my father’s. He held you in high regards.” Alpha Carson put his hand on my shoulder and didn’t speak. Instead, he nodded and allowedto continue into the house. It felt like | just got the approval from my dad with the way his hand gripped my shoulder. Just like my dad used to do. Up until now, | have always felt like | managed good without him but now | realized how much | actually miss my dad.

“I assI'm okay to shower. This can get wet?” | asked Penny for confirmation as we walked into our room. She had already laid out my suit for the dinner and her dress was hung up on the closet door. Although this wasn’t a dressy event, the host always dressed up a little more than the rest of the attendees.

“I wouldn't let it soak or put soap directly on it but you should be okay.” “Csit withas | get ready.” | worded it as more of a request but it was still a question. | wasn’t fully ready to be away from her yet. That dream or whatever | had really fuckedup. | knew she was in danger but | never actually thought about what would the world look like if she died.

“Okay?” Penny agreed but | could tell she was a little surprised. “I will just do my makeup in the bathroom.” Helping her grab her makeup, she didn’t comment further as she set herself up in the bathroom. Turning the water on, | opted for more of a cooler shower so it didn’t fog the mirror for her. Plus, the cold wouldn't make this gash bleed more.

“How did you day go?” | asked as | reached for the shampoo. The water was a rusty brown as the dried blood ran off my body and down the drain.

“It was good. | just sat on the porch. We got lucky today was a nice day. Stayed about 70s range with a slight breeze. Thankfully, no one wantedto get up. The baby shower went great, if you didn’t notice all the gift against the wall.” “I didn’t but | wasn’t looking either. Anything in particular you liked best?” “I can’t wait to you to see it all! I'm in love with it all.” Penny was feeling rather happy at the moment. Shutting the water off, | started drying myself off as she put on her light pink stuff on her lips. Not that | knew the difference between a gloss or chalk or whatever the stick was, the shade she was using was my favorite.

“That color looks great on you.” | complimented her.

Penny puckered up her lips and did a little pose. “You think so?” “I know so.” Grabbing her chin, | went to give her a kiss but she turned away.

“Don’t mess this up!” Not wanting to give up, | bent down and kissed her neck. “Better?” “Hmm, not really sure.” She gavea look as | laughed. Slapping her ass, | walked out of the bathroom and headed to my clothes. Penny sat down on her vanity and was working on her hair so | finished getting ready.

Moving my arms above my head was trickly but | managed. There was spain pills that | took to help with it.

Really to just take the edge off it.

| had just finished buttoning up my shirt when Penny stood up. “Can you helpwith my dress?” “Of course.” Penny had grabbed it an unzipped it. Stripping out of her shorts and shirt, she put both legs in the dress. Helping her pull it up, all | had to do was zip it.

The dress was a blush pink color that was incredibly stretchy material. Hugging her body, the mermaid style fit her perfectly. A sweetheart neckline flowed to the off the shoulder long puffy sleeves to a cuff. With her hair curled and left down, she looked absolutely amazing.

“Where did you get that dress? It looks great!” Grabbing my watch off my dresser, | was putting it on when she went to the packages.

She wasn't lying. The stack of presents was massive. “I got different clothes, blankets and look at the shoes!” She held up the littlest little cotton slippers for babies. Taking them, I couldn't help but smile at how small these really were.

“These are cute.” | agreed.

“I tried to separate it all into blankets, clothes and what not but honestly we need to pull the tags off and have the staff wash everything.” Penny shifted through a few different bags until a knock sounded on the door. “I'll get that!” Penny said, excitedly.

| was about to ask her who it was when one package caught my eye. The sage green floral pattern was laying on top. Dropping the shoes, my body moved on it’s own to grab the package and pull the three blankets out. The material was exactly the sfrom what | saw. The floral was a perfect match. Elijah had the dark blue mountains and Cooper had prints of the stages of the moon on it.

“Colt?” Penny touched my arm, pullingfrom my thoughts.

“Who got us these?” | asked. | was aware of the emotion in my voice. Ignoring our guest, | focused on Penny.

Confusion filled her eyes as she bit her lip. “I'm not sure...” She shifted though a bag and pulled out a little note pad. “We wrote it all down.” “What's wrong, Colt?” Ice cup toand looked at the blankets. “Those are adorable.” “Kris, I'm not seeing who got us those.” Penny looked at Ice confused.

“There is a card.” Ice pulled out a card but no one signed it.
