"How are you feeling this morning?" Alec asked as I was getting dressed. Alec kept true to his word


    and I think I got maybe two hours of sleepst night.


    "Well rested." I wasn''t happy he won but damn if it wasn''t enjoyable.


    The humor that cfrom Alec maderoll my eyes at him. "If you say so." "Where did the rope cfrom?" I


    asked. Since we were going shopping, I didn''t want to wear anything too much but the snow was still


    falling. I would need to wear my boots so I opted for skinny jeans and a nice fitted long sleeve shirt.


    There was a thinyer of make up on and my hair was left down and straight.


    "Been saving it for the right time." Alec muttered as my phone rang.


    "You''re up early." I said as I answered the call.


    "Yeah, Jasper needed to do something so I got up. What are you doing today?" Emmy asked.


    "Going shopping for a dress with Penny. Want toe?" "Oh! Could I?" Emmy sounded excited.


    "Of course you can. Get dressed and get over here." "Okay!" Emmy hung up onas Adalynn started


    crying.


    "The roads are going to be slick so be careful." Alec stood up and started buckling his pants.


    "I''m going to take the jeep. What are you doing to do today?" I asked as I walked out of our room and


    into Adalynn''s room. She was sitting up, looking at the door. "Good morning!" I said in a sweet voice.


    Adalynn raised her hands up to me.


    Picking her up, sheid her head on my shoulder for a few seconds until she heard her dad. "Someone


    is happy this morning." Adalynn sat up and reached for her dad. "Seriously?" Rolling my eyes, I handed


    her over to a very happy dad.


    "Daddy loves you." Alec whispered in her ear as went to the closet.


    "Then daddy can change her and get her dressed." I said slightly annoyed and with a melted happy


    heart.


    "Mommy is just sad she is second in daddy''s life now." Alec said in a baby voice.


    "Can you say that again so I can record your baby voice for the warriors you have to go work with


    today?" I pulled out my phone and took a picture.


    "Only if I can record all the sounds you madest night... oh wait! I had you too numb to speak." Alec


    smirked atas he finished dressing Adalynn.

    As I opened my mouth to respond, the door bell rang. "Ass." I muttered as I walked off. Alec''sughed


    echoed across the halls. "Hey!" I said as I let Vivian inside.


    "It''s slick out there!" Vivian was dressed head to toe in so much gear that I even wondered if she was a


    wolf.


    "I bet! d you made it here okay. I''m not sure what kids you will have today." "That''s fine!" "She hasn''t


    had breakfast yet but Alec is changing her and getting her dressed." I said as he walked around the


    corner.


    "She''s ready." Alec said as he carried her in front of him. Adalynn got a huge smile on her face as she


    saw Vivian. pping her hands together, she reached for her.


    "Someone is happy this morning!" Vivianughed as she took her and headed to the kitchen.


    "Do you need anything before we head to the garage?" I asked.


    "Nope. We are good!" Vivian put Adalynn in her highchair and started cutting up a banana.


    "Love you!" I said and kissed Adalynn on the forehead. Alec did the sand we headed to the garage.


    Don''t you think it''s tfor another >ne?" Alec asked as I grabbed my coat. Alec was putting on his gloves


    and bat before he grabbed the hovel.  w"It''s not like you have been preventing one."


    I frowned at him. "I would still like a little more tbetween." Hitting the button to open the garage, Atec


    walked up behind me.


    As I turned, he grabbed my hair and pulled my head back so I was looking at him. My eyes instantly


    rolled back on their own. S "I want them to be as close as you are with Colt. We need to have an army


    close together." Alec pressed his lips against mine. "I don''t want triplets!" Iughed as I kissed him


    back.


    Unfortunately, a honking sound interrupted us. Alec was annoyed as he walked away fromand got the


    shovel. "Letclear ssnow for you." "Hey!" Emmy smiled at Alec as he started shoveling. Alec just tilted


    his head in response but Emmy didn''t seem to care. "Ready to go?" "Almost. Alec is clearing ssnow


    and Penny should be here soon. I wanted to make sure I had an emergency kit in the jeep." There was


    jumper cables next to a tote. "What''s in there?" Emmy asked as I picked it up.


    “nket, water, gran bar and other stuff like that.” Another car caround as I put it in my trunk.


    "Penny''s here!" "Great! Let''s go!" Emmy got in the passenger seat.


    "Emmy? Are youing with us?" Penny asked with a smile.


    "Is that okay? I need a dress too." "Of course!" Penny walked up to Alec. She muttered something I


    didn''t hear and walked back to us. Alec nodded and walked back into the garage.


    "It should be okay for you but it has started snowing more. Try not to drag this out and make it hsafely."


    Penny got in the jeep to give us sprivacy. "Will do." I stood by the driver''s side door as he walked up to


    me.


    "I mean it. Be safe, Kristen. I don''t want a phone call saying you are in a ditch.


    lec looked atwith more emotion than I''m used to. "Like you said, you could be pregnant now." "So, you


    are worried about any potential baby, not the incubator?" Folding my arms, I popped out my hip.


    Alec rolled his eyes at me. “Just be safe.” He kissed my forehead and turned to leave.


    "Bye!" I yelled as I got in.


    "Can we do doughnuts?" Emmy asked, making Alec freeze. He turned his head and red at her.


    Emmy blew a kiss at Alec as I pulled out of the garage. "Do you have a death wish?" Penny asked,


    trying to hind her ufortableness.
