Page 118 of The Married Alpha And His Arrow: Vol 2

We walked into the banquet area where there was brunch food everywhere. I laughed. Susie begged, “Princess Haley, can you, Lexi, and TeleTed plan my next birthday party?” Haley laughed, “Of course we can.” Susie squealed. I looked at Nadine, “She hasn’t even seen everything Haley has planned yet.” Nadine chuckled.

We all sat down and ate. Once everyone was there, Haley started sending all the groups to different places. She’d intermingled people while also keeping them with people they knew. She came over to us declaring, “TO THE TELETED TROLLEY!” I asked, “The what?” Haley smiled, “It’s very popular during the day in Nashville. It’s so fun!” I laughed. There was a trolley with seats and pedals. Gunner was in the main driver's seat. There were drinks waiting on the trolley for us.

Haley said, “Nothing alcoholic for the preggos! You get a fun drink too Susie, but it has no alcohol.” Susie laughed and hopped up on a seat. We all sat and got a drink. Gunner announced, “Welcome about the TeleTed Trolly Tavern.” Ted shouted, “HELL YES!” Gunner smiled, “Today we are touring the Hackura realm.” Ted squealed.

Gunner continued, “Right, so let’s pedal. My name is Gunner, and only Haley calls me Harper’s boytoy lover.” Haley interjected, “Because it’s your fucking name.” Gunner smiled at her, and we all started pedaling. We toured the realm.

Gunner pointed out their training grounds, their ceremony grove, and they had gyms everywhere. We stopped at the ice cream shop. I wasn’t surprised since it was Haley’s favorite dessert place. I nudged Gunner, “Didn’t you and Harper bring Haley here the first time together?” Gunner nodded, “Yes, her eyes were wide as saucers.” I laughed and walked inside.

We all ate then had to head back. Ted was having a great time. We parked and the Red Run group plus several of Haley’s brother’s mates were waiting. Emmaline came over, “Hey guys!” She introduced the girl next to me “Lexi, this is my sister Sharon.” Sharon nodded. I said, “You seem disappointed.”

Sharon sighed, “Not, it’s just... they all said the Black Arrow came to the last one. I wanted to meet her.” I laughed, “Maybe at the next one.” Ted slyly said, “Yeah, BA is a busy, busy lady.” Sharon nodded, “True! Let’s get drunk!” Chelsea and Sam yelled, “Hell yes because we can!”

I asked them, “What is your son’s name, Sam? I know Chelsea’s little one’s name because of EJ.” Sam answered, “My little guy’s name is Tristan.” I said, “I like that!” Chelsea asked, “Do you and Alpha Chase have names picked out?” I nodded, “We do. We picked Emma and Emmett for the twins. Rather, I met them, and they told me their names. We need to ask the man of the hour if he and Matt have names picked out.”

Ted said, “GIRL! You know we have names picked out. We sat down with Joanie, and all agreed.” Haley popped over to us. She’d been talking to Gunner. I asked him, “Can you tell us the names?” Ted smiled, “If it’s a girl Annie, after my mom. If it’s a boy, Malachi.” I said, “Aww, I love those names.” Ted smiled, “We do too.”

We went inside. I asked, “What’s next?” Haley smiled and led us to a room in the main part of the house. She squealed, “POLE DANCING LESSONS!” Ted said, “It’s not stated often enough how much I do love you so Haley Conners.” Astrid was teaching the class.

I laughed, “How thrilled is Bjourn you’re the teacher?” Astrid smirked, “He doesn’t know. Haley sent me to lessons to become an instructor as a secret mission.” I laughed asking, “How did she do that?” Astrid snorted and Haley popped over. She made her eyes go wide and she said, “Daddy, please! Pretty please!” Astrid said, “Like that. Exactly like that.”

Haley giggled and clapped her hands, “He wouldn’t tell Bjourn what she was doing. It’s driving him batshit crazy.” Astrid agreed, “It is.” She walked us through the moves on the poles. Haley told us, “Everyone has to pick an outfit for your badass routine!” I questioned, “Outfit?”

I turned and saw racks at the back of the room. There were racks of burlesque outfits. Haley picked a pink and black one. I picked one that had a loose middle. It was all black and the top was silver. It looked like there were hands on my boobs. Ted said, “Ow ow looking hot!” He was in all black too. His top was sheer. I complimented him, “You look good too.”

He twirled around and I smacked him on the butt. He laughed then we all did our numbers. Afterwards it was time for lunch. We were snapped into comfy robes. We walked in and everyone was buzzing with excitement.

Emmaline whispered conspiratorially, “Do you want to know what’s coming?” Ted answered, “Now we don’t. Girl, you tell TeleTed all your secrets.” Emmaline laughed and snapped him a drink. She said, “You have to drink that for me first.” Ted slammed it.

Emmaline gaped at him. He said, “Hit me with the deets Fairy Duchess Luna.” Emmaline laughed, “There’s a relaxation like a zero gravity chamber thing with water. It’s like some virtual reality thing. It’s pretty cool. Haley did some chant with Aiden for them to be able to do anything we want. Then, we get to pick a dress and some special fairy is going to magic us shoes after meeting us.”

Mine and Ted’s jaws dropped. I asked, “Do you mean Gerdest?” Emmaline nodded, “Yes, that’s his name! How did you know?” Ted snorted. I explained, “Haley’s talked about him. She always wanted him to fairy magic her shoes. He’s the royal fairy shoemaker.”

Emmaline admitted, “My dad did say that was his job. Aiden brought him in, but I’d imagine he’s made Haley shoes before. Right?” I shrugged saying, “Not that I know of.” I got up and went and found Haley. I said, “Hello secret keeping little sister of mine. I hear you have something important to tell me?”

Haley tilted her head saying, “I don’t think I’m keeping a secret.” I laughed, “Gerdest is here.” Haley nodded, “YES! I’m so fucking excited Aiden agreed to let him do this for us. Lucinda and Aiylee wanted to come, but there was something going on with her family today they were going to instead. They are sad.” I laughed, “I would be too.”

Ted walked over exclaiming, “I need a pole set up in my room to show Matt my moves.” Haley teased, “Have we not met? There are poles in everyone’s gift bags along with the outfits they picked out.” Ted laughed, “Girl, you just don’t miss a beat.” Haley asked, “To a song? I am a good dancer. Most Fae are.”

Ted tried to explain, “No... just... I mean yes. You didn’t miss a single beat in the routine.” Haley laughed, “Like I said, it’s in my blood.” Ted nodded. I asked, “Where are your Gerdest shoes?” Haley smiled and snapped. I looked down and gasped.

Ted squealed, “GIRLLLL! This guy is here? How amazing!” They were unsurprisingly pink. There was a sweeping flower vine on the back of the shoe that formed into butterflies. It had an ankle strap, and then across the bottom was a pink band that looked like several little butterflies.

I cooed, “Wow, you were right he’s a master.” Haley lit up, “Aiden promised I could have him do shoes for me now whenever I fucking want. That’s actually mostly a direct quote.” I smiled, “I’m glad.” We went back and sat down to eat lunch. Haley led us into a room.

Ted said, “Those are sensory deprivation chambers! How legit is this?” Haley smiled, “These are fairy charmed so whatever you want to see, whoever you want to see…” She looked directly at me and smiled, “You can see them in there.” She snapped us into swimsuits.

Ted asked, “How do we get out?” Haley said, “If you want the top open you just think that you want it open, and it opens.” Ted got into his and shut the top then it opened right back up. Ted clapped, “This is just so damn cool.” I laughed and got into mine.

I wondered if it worked in reverse. I thought about it being closed and it closed. Colors started swirling around me. I began to float. A sweet voice asked, “Think of what you’d most like to see.” What I’d most like to see is my parents meeting Chase and Heath with our kids. I opened my eyes. I was in the meadow my parents were buried in.

I felt arms wrap around me, and even felt the tingles. I asked, “Chase?” I turned around and he kissed me. I almost threw out my original thought about who I was going to see. I put my hands under his shirt. He laughed, “I don’t think your parents want to see that.” I asked, “My parents?”

I turned around and there was my mom and dad. I cried and threw myself into my dad's arms. He said, “There, there my little Princess. It’s ok.” I cried, “I miss you.” He said, “I know. We miss you too Princess.”

Heath asked, “Lex?” I chuckled, “Damn, this thing is cool.” Heath introduced them to his string, “Mom, Dad, meet Allie.” Allie smiled and waved. My mom went to her immediately fawning over her, “Look at her! She is so adorable. Wait, are you little miss tutu wearing Allie?” Allie laughed, “That’s me.” My mom gasped, “You grew up into such a beautiful young woman!” I knew this wasn’t really Heath or he’d be more emotional like me about seeing our parents again.

My parents turned to me, “Now, we want to meet your young man.” Chase kissed my forehead and I introduced, “Mom, dad, this is Chase.” Chase stuck out his hand to my dad. He told him, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir.” My dad pulled him into a hug. He patted him on the back, “Family gets hugs. Now, my two children need to answer why I didn’t get to meet this wonderful woman and strapping young man before I got grandchildren.”
