I press my lips in a line. “Just apologize to the old bat!” Khan snaps at me, wanting to get off the phone with her.

“I’m sorry I called you an old dragon. Can you answer the question?”

“And how did that taste rolling off your tongue?”

“Bitter, so can you help?” She seems to think for a second.

“Fine, show me.” she huffs. “I can’t see your screen is blurry. Oi, Michelle!” I hear her yell out before hearing a faint answer.

“What does Elena use for..”

“No, what size!” I tell her.

“What size pads does Elena use?” I can’t hear her answer but it’s clear she does answer.

“Apparently, she uses period briefs, better for the environment and cheaper,” Sondra explains. I nod, looking for these period briefs before seeing a giant packet on the top shelf. I grab it down and read the front.

Extra absorbent and discreet. “These ones?” I ask. Sondra squints at the screen.

“They look like briefs to me!”

“Thanks,” I tell her, hanging up and moving to the front of the store to where the checkout boy is waiting.

I pass him the huge bag and he raises an eyebrow at me. I shake my head and he quickly bags them and I pay. Leaving the store, I put the boys back in their car seats and clip them in before moving to the trunk with the stroller.

“No, lift and squeeze.” Khan orders, as I try to make the stroller collapse. I try it but it doesn’t collapse. After about twenty minutes, I am still struggling with the stroller, so I give up and try to jam it in the trunk. I slam the lid down, only for it to pop back open. Growling, Khan shoves forward and hits the trunk, a wheel pops off, and the lid creases.

“Khan!’

“It worked, didn’t it?” I growl, muttering under my breath, and climb in the car and head home to Elena.

Chapter Seventeen

Elena

I stare at the wall, Lexa scolding me and blaming me for our shared embarrassment.

“Man, what is he doing? Why is it taking so long?” Lexa growls when I hear the downstairs door open. I sit up straighter, listening to doors open and shut, then hearing someone on the stairs. A few minutes pass when I hear the bedroom door open.

“Honey, I’m home!” I hear Axton sing out and I roll my eyes. “I come bringing gifts for the bleeding minge!”

“Can I bite him? I think I need to bite him!” Lexa snarls. I hear him rummaging around and talking to the boys when suddenly the door opens.

“Aha, I found you. I was wondering where you went.” I glare at him, and he snickers, his hand behind his back.

“Just give me the pads!” I growl at him. My ass is going numb from sitting on the toilet. My nipples are so hard from the cold, I feel like they are going to leap off my chest and run for my bra that is in the room.

“I’ll forgive you for your lack of thanks because I know you’re hormonal and it is not your fault.” Axton declares, and I consider letting Lexa bite him. He pulls his arm out from behind his back and tosses me a package. I catch it, wondering why it is so big. Staring down at it, my mouth opens while Lexa howls with laughter in my head.

“I did good, didn’t I?” Axton says smugly, and I grit my teeth, turning to look at him. He has a smug smile on his face, and I narrow my eyes at him.

“Is this a joke? Where are the pads?” I ask, and his smile falls.

“Sondra said you wear period briefs, that’s what they are!” he says, motioning toward the package. I hold it up, squeezing the wrapping.

“These are not period briefs, and when did you talk to Sondra?”

“Well, first I rang Eli, but he didn’t know what to buy. Neither did Slater, and your mother wasn’t home, so Sondra said those were it!” he walks over, snatching the package. He points to the front of it, showing me the diapers.
