Page 35 of Chaos has a Name
Caryn wanted that more than anything. Missing his birth was horrible, and she was still angry with Wyler about that.
He’d promised they’d go back, and he’d refused to leave with her.
How was she leaving him alone?
HOW?
Immediately, Coraline put down the car seat, and Caryn carefully unbuckled it to get to the very precious cargo inside it.
Her heart melted.
“He’s beautiful,” she whispered, checking out his blue eyes and tiny little fingers. “Oh, Cora, you and Takoda make beautiful babies,” she said. “He’s such a handsome little man.”
Cora beamed.
How could she not?
On this, they agreed wholeheartedly.
“He’s such a good baby,” she admitted. “Truly, Oliver is a little angel.”
From where she stood, Elizabeth took it all in. Oh, and she had to remind Coraline of one thing.
“EJ and CJ were good babies too. Now, take a look at them,” she said, pointing toward her sons.
They all watched as the children were out of the cars, and running around like maniacs trying to burn off that pent-up energy.

Then again, that was the story of her life at that point. Chaos was theONLYconstant.
As the kids were running, the whole time, Security was trying to keep up with them and keep track of them.
Oh, this was going to suck for Ivan and his team. They had their work ahead of them, and she knew it.
In that moment, she knew the truth. This wasn’t going to work.
This open space…
If they weren’t constantly in danger, she wouldn’t mind letting CJ and EJ run wild like little Native hellions. She knew her husbands had been just like this, and they turned out fine.
Boys needed space, and so did the girls.
If things were different…
But they weren’t. There were people who would want to hurt them to take her down. The lesson was learned with Sally when she got her hands on Charlie.
It was time to bite the bullet.
Clearly.
Screw winning the bet against the security team. She’d put big money on not getting a house there. Now, it looked like she was going to have to give in.
For the baby birds.
