Chapter 263
I was quiet for a moment. As much as I appreciated and respected what my brother wanted and hoped. I agreed with Penny. This will. never be my home but I did find myself willing to come back here for any of their kids. “Nursery.”
“What?” Penny seemed confused.
“Make my old room a nursery for your future kids. You are right. I’l never see this as my home. I will probably never stay here again but ! want to see it filled with all the happy memories I never had. I know you will live at the house but while you do work here, make that room the nursery or even just a play room. I’ll come back and visit, especially when those kids get popping out but I don’t want the room. Put mom’s old furniture in there. She wanted it to be loved on and you wanted to redecorate the house.”
“Then that is what I’ll do.” Penny smiled at me.
“Come on. I’ll take you to my room that I’ve been staying in for you to shower. I have clothes you can wear as well.” Emmy stood up and nudged me.
“Perfect. Thank you.” Smiling at Emmy, I stood up but stopped and looked at Penny. “Are you okay? Do you want to come and sit with us while I shower?”
“No. I’m not sure I am okay but I will be. I just need to process this. I am going to go check on the women and food.” Penny sighed before standing up herself.
“Okay, we will see you down there.” Emmy said. We went one way and Penny went the other. It wasn’t until we were in her room that either
one of us spoke again. “Do you think she will be okay?”
“Eventually. She probably dreamed of finding her parents and then to find out what happened to them…” I gave Emmy a look as I got in the shower.
“Jasper is landing…” Emmy looked at her phone.
“Go! I know how to shower myself.” Smiling at her, she didn’t need being told twice. Running out of the door, she was gone before I even turned around.
Truthfully, I was a little thankful. I wanted to quiet time to myself. Just to process what happened. Everything has happened so quickly that I haven’t processed it myself. I haven’t even found a normal since. Alec and I mated. Everything snowballed so fast that I don’t even remember what day it was. However, I didn’t feel trapped. There wasn’t any lingering emotions of anxiety or any type of PTSD. I felt at piece. That might have to do with the fact that I quite literally ripped his heart of out of his chest. It could be the fact that I knew they were dead. I watched them die and they wouldn’t be around to hurt me. noveldrama
anymore.
After my shower, I was able to use Emmy’s blow dryer and
straightener. Thankfully, I also found some bras that would fit me and underwear with the tag still on them. Grabbing just basic shorts and t- shirt, I felt more myself. For the first time, in a long time, I was excited to go out and talk to people.
The entire atmosphere was different. Kids were laughing as they ran around. Mothers were chasing them, scolding them or just laughing at them. Everyone had a drink in their hand and just seemed to be chilling.
“Hey, Luna Kris! Do you need anything to drink? We are passing out coffee, chi tea or waters. We have lemonade for the kids. I can get. you something different if you prefer.” One of my old pack members, Suzie, was walking around with a couple empty glasses.
“No, thank you. How is everything going? Do you need any help?”
“Obviously we are busy but it’s been great. Everyone is helping
everyone so its been pretty relaxed. I do think Luna Penny might need help in the kitchen.” Suzie whispered the last part to me.
