I got myself under control and called Haley. She answered, “Hi Lex, what’s up?” I said, “I have a few members of my mom and dad’s family here. They are quite put out with you.” Haley asked, “Put out? I didn’t put anyone out. Out where?” I laughed, “I mean they are upset about your charm.”
Haley snorted, “Fucking sucks to be them then.” I told her, “It’s not fair to their strings.” Haley said, “Why not? I conjured them sex toys.” I dropped my phone in surprise. Chase howled with laughter. I picked the phone back up.
I heard Eric say, “Angel, you conjured them sex toys?” Haley said, “It was only fair. I even picked good ones! They are brand new and everything. In boxes and packed up.” I had tears streaming down my face.
Brady said, “They can’t get off no matter how hard they try!” He was so loud she heard him. Haley replied, “They are not innocent either. Or safe from my pranks and wrath. By the way I’m sure you noticed oral doesn’t work either for anything. Have they all used them?” Brady grumbled, “Yes.” They couldn’t even do oral?! War goddess give me strength not to laugh.
Haley sounded far too happy when she said, “Then they will be compelled to keep trying to use them. Unable to get satisfaction. Maybe while your dick doesn’t work, and they can’t orgasm, you should consider the ramifications of leaving two CHILDREN alone because you’re selfish assholes. Then you should double down on the thoughts that you’re trash when you think about EVER insulting MY family again.”
Heath clapped a hand over his mouth. I told her, “They want me to ask you to undo it.” Haley questioned, “Do you even want me to unfuckingdo it?” I admitted, “I’m torn. The toys kind of make it better.” Haley said triumphantly, “Fucking A they do! Google says people say that.” I snorted, “I don’t know about anymore, you what sure they say that. Anyway, does it wear off?”
Haley replied, “Of course it does.” I pressed, “When?” Haley said, “A month after you give birth.” Chase, Matt, Derrick, and Frank were near hysterics. I bit my lip responding, “I see.” Haley said, “I’ll text Uther to kick their asses out of your house. Their lame, coward, backwards, masochistic child blaming asshats can come talk to me their damn scaredy Hood selves if they want it done sooner.”
I said, “I’ll pass that along.” They absolutely would not go into Eric’s territory; he’d probably have them thrown in the dungeons and everyone knew that except Haley. That’s if Bjourn wasn’t waiting to pounce. Which they probably did not know, but I did.
Haley asked, “Anything else?” I responded, “Nope, that about covers it.” Haley said, “Ok, I’ll see you this weekend! Prepare for thing one and two explosion!” Eric snorted, “That’s not a sufficient warning, Angel.” Haley hung up before I could ask what that meant.
Chase shrugged and told me, “I’ll ask him later.” Donald angrily asked, “Well?” I said, “Umm how to say this nicely….” Chase said, “Haley said, and I quote your lame, coward, backwards, masochistic child blaming asshats can come talk to her your damn scaredy Hood selves if you want it reversed.”
I said, “That’s actually word for word. It does wear off.” Brady sighed in relief, “Thank god. When?” Frank was wiping his eyes. He said, “Please, let me tell them.” I waved him on with my hand, “Be my guest.” Frank smirked, “It wears off a month after my grandpups are born.”
It was silent for a solid fifteen seconds. Then shrieks of, “WHAT?!” and “OH HELL NO!” Hit the air. Suddenly, there was a buzz of words flying through my head. This must be the pack link. They could hear us. Someone was filling the pack in, and they were losing it. They thought it was hilarious, and to be fair they were right. It was. I focused and blocked it out.
I explained, “Haley conjured your strings sexy toys, once used they are compelled to use again even though they can’t orgasm. So, she finds it fair since you left Heath and I alone and insulted her family. I’m not sure how she stopped oral but feel free never to tell me.” Ted and Sally lost their composure.
Jordan spit out the coffee that Sally must have handed him. James said, “I have so many feelings one being…. Eww and the other…. I love the Fairy Hackura Princess. That’s just hilarious.” Brady shouted, “SHUT UP JAMES!”
Jordan ordered, “Do not speak to my son that way, Brady.” Dietrick said, “There’s nothing you can do, Lexi?” I shrugged saying, “It didn’t seem like it, and I’m honestly not inclined to care. You ignored me my entire life, then you come to me for a favor that you didn’t even ask for nicely. If you’ll excuse me, I have to work to do.” I walked back into my office with Ted and Sally on my heels. We all dissolved into giggles the second I shut the door.
We had two events before my baby shower. Two small lunches, and thankfully both went great. Before my baby shower Chase took me on a walk. He led me back to the spot I’d first come to try to find him.
He kissed me on the forehead then, “I waited in this spot all night long for you to come to work after you shook my men. The second I saw you Lexi Scott I knew you were my forever. You are my everything. You are so beautiful, so amazing, kind, and compassionate, and incredibly fierce and loyal. By some miracle you are fated to me. I don’t deserve you; I know that. I’ll do my best every day to be the man you deserve. To be a great father to all ten of our pups.” I laughed.
Then I gasped as Chase got down on one knee. He pulled out the ring I’d seen on my hand in the future. My eyes filled with tears. Chase said, “Now, I had lunch with your brother and got his blessing. The most important person though is you. Lexi Scott, will you do me the honor of marrying me?”
I wiped tears from my eyes, “Yes, of course you silly man!” He slid the ring on my finger. He spun me around and kissed me. I laughed. We stayed there in that spot holding each other for quite some time. Eventually, I broke apart from him and said, “I do need to get back for my shower.” Chase kissed me, “I know. Haley told me she’d get me the diamond I wanted if she could see the ring at your shower.” I laughed, “She’d have done it anyway.” Chase smiled admitting, “I know.”
He shifted and linked me, “Bolt requests you ride back on us, Fiancée.” I nodded and jumped onto his back a bit awkwardly because I was so big now. We reached the spot where Chase’s clothes were. I got down off him and he shifted grabbing his clothes. We stepped out from behind the tree. Haley popped to us. Chase startled, but I laughed because I was used to her doing that.
Haley said, “Eric told me you were out here. Come on, Lex. I’ve got your dress upstairs and…” She trailed off when she looked at my hand. She squealed, “OH MY GOD! HE ACTUALLY FUCKING DID IT! Someone listened to me. The ring is perfect!” She flung herself into my arms, shocking me. She said, “Congratulations! I’m so happy for you!”
Eric laughed from behind her. He offered, “Congratulations Lexi and Alpha Chase.” I smiled at Chase and kissed him on the cheek before Haley popped us away. She was almost floating she was so excited. She showed me my dress.
I gratefully told her, “Haley, it’s beautiful.” Haley replied, “Uhh duh. You’re beautiful. The dress had to be.” I smiled, “It’s even black.” Haley said, “Yeah well, I love you and stuff so…. you like black so I get you black things. I throw in some damn color on occasion but black is your thing.”
I studied the dress. It was a long sleeve strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline. The top was velvet until right under my chest then flared out into a pretty tulle with stars on it. It stopped in the middle of my shins.
I asked her, “What are you wearing? My dress makes it seem like a formal shower.” Haley frowned, “Are they normally casual?” I laughed, “Nothing you do is casual.” Haley shrugged and snapped her fingers. I said, “Oh my god.” I started laughing.
I sincerely meant what I said, “That’s amazing.” She’d turned the tip of her hair blue, and she had on a skintight red dress. Right under her chest was a circle that had the number one on it. I asked, “Who is thing two?” Haley answered, “Miley. Emmaline is the cat in the hat.”
I laughed, “That’s just awesome.” Haley smiled asking me, “Are you ready to see everything?” I nodded. She popped us into the living room. I stared wide eyed at everything around me. Ted said, “Yeah, that’s what I said. Bless the War Goddess. Haley, are you think one?!” Haley frowned, “Can’t you tell?” Ted snorted, “Yes. Where’s thing two?” Haley replied, “Bexley will pop Miley in soon.”
I was still looking around. It was wall to wall red and blue. Two little things ran by my feet. I looked down and my eyes widened. I questioned, “Haley, did a real life thing one and two just run by my feet?” Haley nodded, “Yes, I taught Emmaline how to bring dolls to life. Isn’t it really fucking cool?”
I saw a cat in the hat doll walking around too. I honestly said, “This is amazing.” Haley clapped, “I’m so glad you like it.” Emmaline popped in with Lacy, Dylan, and Alpha Lucas. Alpha Lucas looked ready to tear Emmaline’s outfit off her.
She was wearing a tight black dress that showed off her bump too. She had a white fuzzy part across her chest with a red bow tie and a tall red and white hat. Bexley popped in with Miley, Molly, Jessica, ugh, and Shana. Thankfully, Cassandra didn’t come.
