I own nothing you recognize and have to thank my wonderful beta
It is now late November and we are all so excited to be heading back home to the Pride and family. Thankfully the Reservation school is closed till after the new-year for repairs because the roof caved in. This means we get to go for a whole month instead of a week. I cannot believe I have been gone for nearly nine months. I was going back with three new faces than I left with. Paul, Seth, and Embry were coming with me because when I originally only planned for the two Embry threw a fit. He reminded me of a five year old and he demanded I keep my promise. I at first told him I would not keep it because of his behavior but in a couple days he had begged and pleaded so much I gave in. For that I got a lot of complaints from my kids but I told them he was one of my best friends not my child or my underling to control so they needed to drop it.
After the incident last month with Nick we talked to the doctor and changed his meds and diet which has helped a lot. Sometimes I don't know if knowing what is wrong with the boys is for the best, in fact I think some parts of our lives has become more difficult since we found a name for what I always knew they had. Thanks giving is in a week and the boy flew out this morning to head back to my mom and dad's place. Paul and I were staying here to be with the pack for thanksgiving since we would not be able to be here for Christmas.
I am now on my way to talk to Sam, Jake and Pops about my plan for my whole family to be together for New Year's. When I walked out into the beautiful clearing I smiled at the three men that stood in front of me before running into Pops open arms and being wrapped in his secure arms. I rested against him as I started to reveal what was floating around in my mind. I turned in his arms to face the other two "Ok I have a plan and I am hopping it works." I looked up at pops 'Will you fly the family and the packs to Ohio for New Years' I thought to him. He nodded, smiled and hugged me tighter when I heard Jake whine "No fair I want to be in on the info." Pops laughed "Jake you sound like my son Emmett maybe you two shouldn't hang out any more." I laughed "Ok whiner I was thinking about the holidays and how Seth, Emb, the kids, Paul and I will be gone for Christmas and New Year and I wanted to be with my whole family." I paused and smiled up at my surrogate father "Pops, is going to fly all of you out to Ohio to so everyone can meet each other and then we will all be together for New Year's Eve and day." I smiled at them and Sam and Jake looked at each other "Everyone, including imprints?" Sam asked. I nodded and he smiled and both him and Jake high- fived. I laughed and Sam stared at me for a minute "What?" I laughed harder but soon got myself under control "You have been hanging out with our sons too much" he smiled "Never could I spend too much time with them." "Ok this is supposed to stay a secret till Thanksgiving got it" I pointed at my two brothers and they nodded. "I will come over tonight to announce it to the family ok" I asked as I hugged Pop's one more time ne nodded and kissed my hair before letting me go. Next thing I knew I was being engulfed in my two brother's arm and then I left for home.
When I opened the door it was a picture you had to see. "Seth was on the aero bed legs hanging over with Pam and Goldie on his chest and on the pullout my beautiful man was laid out with Maury and Blue on top of him all six were dead to the world. I smiled and walked over to the camera and took a couple of the scene before going up to take a long hot bath. I turned on the tap and headed to the bed room to grab my comfortable pajamas. I laughed when I walked back in the bathroom and saw both dogs sitting in the bubble bath I ran. "I take it you girls want to get beautiful? I asked" they both looked so excited it always was a shock to me how much they loved baths. So, I bathed both dogs before towel drying them and sending them both back down stairs to jump on the guys. I was cleaning the tub when I hear Paul yell "What the heck" and Maurice, Pam and Seth yell "sleeping be quite." I laughed and finished the tub.
As I was running another tub of water for me I heard the bathroom door open and Paul walk in. "What do you call this? He motioned to his soaked shorts and wet chest. I laughed "Sorry babe they wanted a bath and they probably wanted somewhere warm to sleep." He snorted and went into the bedroom to change. I climbed in the tub and started to soak five minutes late he walked back in changed and said "I am going down to Sam's he just called and said Em and Ness wants everyone there today" he started walking out and before I could ask where the kids where he turned "the kids along with both soaking wet dogs are sleeping on top of Seth. I do not know how he is sleeping but he is and Ness said let Seth sleep." I chuckled and said "I thought Sam and Jake were the Alphas and the ones to give orders." His head reappeared in the door "Don't you know them women are way scarier." I shook my head as I heard him walk down the steps and walk out the door.
I grabbed my cell and called Sam "Hello sis" he answered and I smiled. "Hey bro, um you're not telling the guys are you I want it to be a surprise." He chuckled "No" he whispered "as hard as it's been we have not told anyone including the wives." I laughed "ok that is good and Jake is not married." He chuckled "He acts like it." I sighed and made my voice sound all serious even though I was fighting back the laugher "Well, I guess I will have to talk to Em and my niece and tell them how miserable you both are." I heard his breath catch "you can't" I said nothing "please do you want to see us die a slow death if they leave us." I could not hold it no longer and started to crack up in between I got out "kidding." He growled "not funny, not funny at all" I just kept laughing so he hung up.
After I settled down I took a long hot relaxing bath, I was almost asleep when I heard Maurice yell "owe, hurt." I went to go see what was wrong when I heard Seth say in a louder and madder than I ever heard voice "you young lady know it's wrong to hit your brother now you can sit yourself in that corner now." "But Seth" she whined and he cut her off "NOW, go" I heard her start to cry but walk towards the other side of the room. I could hear her quite sniffled and Seth soothing Maurice trying to get him to calm down. When I could hear it was not working I got out of the tub and threw on my pajamas and headed down.
When I hit the bottom step my daughter started to get up "mommy" she whinnied again. "You sit yourself right back down until Seth tells you to move" I ordered. She sat back down and pouted and kept mumblings to herself. I walked over to Seth and opened my arms for my little by to come to me. He flung himself at me and I walked into the family or play room and sat in the rocker and motioned for Seth to follow. I started to rock rubbing my upset sons back as I whispered "its ok calm yourself."
Seth plopped down on the couch across from me and held his head in his hands "is he ok?" He sounded so nervous like he thought I would be mad at or blame him "he will be fine and it's not your fault." He looked up at me then sighed "I cannot believe she did that, I feel so bad for yelling at her." I smiled "Seth, I know it was hard but you did the right thing if you let her get away with bad behavior she will think its ok and go even further next time" I kissed my sons head who was starting to calm down but still clung to me "what exactly did she do." He looked puzzled "I really don't know" he paused "I remember hearing her say 'my Seth' before I heard the crack." Maurice looked up at me and signed "Pam angry I on" and he pointed to Seth before burying his head in my neck again. Seth sighed "Ugh, how do I handle this" he looked up at me with pleading eyes "I can't tell her I am not hers because its true but I also will not let her treat someone else like that." I sat there thinking for a minute "I think you need to tell her how much she disappointed you" I started "and tell her if she does it again I said I won't let her hang out with you no more." He looked at me in a panic "you can't…I won't" I sighed and stopped him "Seth calm down it's just a threat and believe me she won't push it because she knows I won't stand for it. When I speak to her I will back up your word and believe me I am going to be way harder than you" I smiled. He nodded and stood up and walked over to Maurice and me "hey buddy" he said and rubbed his back my son looked up at him and smiled then signed "It's not your fault" I smiled and interpreted "he says it's not your fault." Seth smiled "Thanks buddy I am going to talk to your sister" Maury nodded and curled back against me. "Seth" I said as he was about to leave the room "when you are done with her can you come take Maury for a couple while I talk to her" he nodded and walked out.
About five minutes later I heard the kitchen door and Paul's voice "babe where are you" he called. I smiled "Family room" I stood with my son in my arms and kissed him when he entered. "Daddy" Maury cried reaching for him so I handed him over. As soon as he was in his daddy's arms he curled into him and closed his eyes which made me smile more. Paul kissed his head and looked over to me and mouthed 'what happened' frowning and knowing something was wrong with his son. I sighed and was about to answer when Maury spoke "Pam gave booboo she mean." Paul looked at our son and up at me and I nodded "she hit him with something" I paused "mote" my son muttered. Paul was upset but before he could bellow for her I put my hand up "Seth made her sit in the corner and is talking to her now and when he is done I am going to have a talk with her." He relaxed and sat in the rocker with our son and rocked him till he was fast asleep. Not long after Seth walked in "Since Paul's back I am going to Sam's" I nodded "she is in the living room waiting for you." He looked somewhat relaxed but also a little upset I walked up and hugged him "you did the right thing don't let her guilt you" I whispered in his hear "she was wrong." When I pulled back he had he smile back "Thanks" he said before walking thru the kitchen.
When I walked into the living room I had to remember she had misbehaved because the sobbing girl on the couch almost broke my heart. I went into my pride mom instead of my feel sorry mom as the boys call it as I walked across the living room and sat in my chair. When she seen me she looked up at me "Mommy, Seth's mad at me" she cried curled in a ball on the couch. I sighed "well after what you did what did you expect?" I asked. She did not answer and kept her head buried in the pillow for a few seconds before she lifted her head and asked "how do I get him not mad it hurts" she pointed to her chest "when he mad." I sighed "I really don't know honey I guess you will have to talk to him about that. Right now, though, me and you need to have a talk." She looked at me a little alarmed but crawled off the couch and walked slowly towards me when I motioned to her. When she got to me I picked her up and she flinched before I sat her down on my lap. I smiled at her "I am very upset and disappointed in you right now but I am not going to give you a licking. That is this time next time you hit someone like you hit your sleeping brother you will not be able to sit down. Also I know Seth told you that I said next time you hit someone or even yell at someone because they are around him you will lose all contact with him." She looked down at her legs and I grabbed her chin making her look me in the eyes "Do you understand me young lady." She nodded with tears in her eyes "Yes mommy I am sorry" he wiped at her eyes "I am good from now on." I smiled at her "I hope so" I pulled her into a hug "I don't want to have to spank you or take you away from Seth because I love you too much but I will not allow that behavior" she nodded "good now you can go up to your room and I will come to tuck you in." She looked at me strange "What about supper" I shook my head "you are going to sleep without supper tonight" I said and she jumped off my lap.
She stomped her foot "No I WILL NOT I AM HUNGRY" she yelled at me and stared me down. "PAMELA" Paul yelled from the bottom of the steps I never seen him go up but he must have went up and laid our son in his bed. He lowered his voice into a hard icy voice that I have to say was scary "You young lady are not to talk to your mother like that" Pamela had fear in her eyes and did not know what to do. "Here" Paul pointed in front of him and she got tears more tears rolling down her face. She choked out "please no daddy" and he shook his head "do not even try that on me" he growled "Now" he pointed in front of him. She walked over to him and we all knew what was coming he gave her two hard and fast smacks on her hind end. He turned her around "Now you go apologize to your mom and you go to the time out room till tomorrow, now" he pointed at me. Pamela came to me and hugged me whispering "I'm sorry mommy" I kissed her hair. I pulled back and looked her in the eye "I love you and I hope this is the end of all this bad behavior" she nodded "goodnight then, I will see you in the morning." She nodded again "good night mommy" she said with tears flowing down her face as she started to walk to the steps before she stopped and went over to her dad. He was sitting on the couch she climbed up on him and hugged him "night daddy love you" she said and he hugged her back "love you to sweet I will be up to tuck you in soon" he said as he wiped some of her tears away. She climbed off of him and walked up the steps.
