The next morning I woke up and took the dogs on a walk before going to Em and Sam's house. I walked in and Sam and Emily were in the kitchen cooking breakfast. She put down her spatula and walked over and hugged me before going back to work. I almost laughed when Sam glanced at me and then looked at the floor "can we talk" he asked. I nodded and walked out the back door and waited for him to start witch took a while but I waited because I could tell he was thinking. "I'm sorry I should have never charged you like that" he mumbled before looking into my eyes. I smiled "thank you, that is all I wanted to hear" I said before restoring his power. I told him I wanted to help Em cook breakfast before I wake everyone and he agreed. I helped Emily finish the eggs and pancakes before walking up to my house and waking everyone. My house is not big enough I thought and decided to look into adding on when my phone rang. I laughed when I seen the caller ID Alice "hey sis I don't know when or if I just want to think some more on it ok" she huffed "ok love you" and hung up.
It seemed like seconds later that we were loading onto the plane getting ready for our trip back to Ohio. Pops was flying while Jazz, sissy, Bella, Jake and Ness sat in the back with us. MieMie stayed because Eddie blew up this morning and was screaming at Ness about being a liar. He told her that she was going to lose her limbs and have to crawl around on her stomach like a snake. He was mad because she and Jake stayed at my house and when she pointed out he did the same with Bella he blew up. Ness was so scared and upset that she locked herself in her room and when Jake went through her window she was trying to ductape and glue her limbs so they did not fall off. So MieMie took his rites away not only did he lose all possessions he lost his freedom being locked in the room in the main house. He tried to get Bella to stick up for him but she agreed with the punishment.
This flight was a lot better than the first one and in no time we were landed in the municipal airport near my home town. My cousin Sarah and her husband who work on the local air force base not too far from the airport picked us up in one of my prides busses. I talked the members of the family who were with me into coming back and saying hello to the pride. They have all not seen each other in a while and I knew how some of them missed the family.
When I walked into the Pride house I was practically tackled with hugs from everyone. The one I was expecting to hug as one of the first was Jamie but he was not in the forefront. When I looked around he was on the back wall when I got myself free I walked up to him and smiled. "Hey" he said and waved "hey what's up" I always felt like he was my oldest son in a way just like Mike felt with me. He started to say nothing when I stopped him "James do not lie to me" I warned I knew him to well and he was not going to pull that. He frowned and slid down the wall so I sat next to him and wrapped my arm around his shoulder. He sighed "I just figured you would be mad at me after how I screamed at you last week." I smiled "I was at the time and if I was here" I shook my head and he shuddered "but I calmed down and I still love you even when you act up." He nodded and we talked a while he told me how much he missed me and how sad he was because did not really know his own kids.
Shortly after Paul, Maurice, Pam, Pop's, Seth, Jazz, Sissy, Jake, Ness, Bella and Embry walked into the door. Jamey smiled and stood with me to walk over to them. I knew something more was going on with him but figured I would work on getting that later and in private. "Mommy, Aunt Dawn" the kids yelled Pam and Ness jumping out of their mates arms and over to me. I bent down and picked up my two and Ness climbed on my back. When my two kids seen Jamie they looked back at Paul "Daddy, come meet or dad" Maury yelled. Paul looked to me and I nodded he walked up and they shook hands and started to talk walking over to sit down. "Daddy," Maurice called reaching out both of them started to stand and stopped "Daddy" my son said frustrated now. I set him on his feet and he ran to Paul who instantly scooped him up and kissed his forehead. He smiled apologetically at Jamie who shrugged "it's who you are don't apologize" he told Paul. Paul nodded and cradled our son in his arms.
Ness jumped from my back and ran to Jakes open arms and Pam started to wiggle in my arms. "Pamela" we looked over at Seth "quit squirming or you are going to make your mommy lose grip" he scolded and she nodded. A few minutes later she questioned "Seth" while holding her arms out him. He smiled and came over to me and grabbed her from me. Out of all the ones I have reunited with and got all this wonderful love from the ones I wanted the most I have not heard from yet. Right as I was going to head for my mom's house the door opened again. My two oldest came rushing in and into my open arms they hugged me as hard as I hugged them. "Where have you two been" I asked when we pulled apart. They both looked at the floor but did not answer "BOYS" I said a little louder and with more authority. They explained that my mom would not let them leave till their room was clean and that was why they were late. I kissed both of their foreheads and told them not to let it happen again.
I had not noticed to that moment that Emb and Mel were looked into a deep stare with one and other. When I went to ask what was going on my second in command turned on me and pointed at Emb "why is he here?" I raised and eye brow "I invited him and watch your tone you can and will not command me." She nodded and turned to him "You can leave now" she pointed at the door and I could tell he was fighting the command "NOW" she bellowed. I sighed then ordered "Embry you will stay where you are and I want answers from the both of you" I waited and they both where glaring at each other "NOW" I ordered. Jake snickered when both their heads whipped to me and I glared at him before turning back to my best friends. "He" she pointed and Embry "is the one that slept with me for three days when I was on vacation then just left no note or anything" she growled through her teeth.
I looked to Emb and he looked pissed "Like shit I was the one that woke up in the snow in the middle of a field" he shouted. Jake and I glanced at each other before he turned and he said "wait she is the one you where with when you were missing for almost a week" Emb nodded but did not quit glaring at Mel. I scratched my head "wait if you were only with Mel for three days where were you the rest of the time." My best wolf friend looked at me and said "I don't really know all I know is I woke up in the field and then ran back to Jakes." I stood there thinking for a while and then it hit me this had something to do with Mel's ex and I turned to my brothers.
I smiled "Mike, Jamie go to Joes and bring him back here and if you have to, use an order" I looked to mike and he nodded. They both walked out the door and Mel turned to me "he would not do that, would he?" I shrugged and she sighed. In unison Jake and Emb asked "Who did what?" I and Mel laughed until my brothers brought back the unwilling Joe. "WHAT THE HEL…" I stopped him "Do not scream at me" I ordered and pointed to a chair across from me "sit." He huffed but did as I ordered I turned to face him "I want the truth and I want it now" I pointed between my two best friends "did you do something to the two of them when they were together while Mel was on vacation."
He looked at the floor for a few seconds thinking then looked up at me and nodded. I glared so he spoke "you know them weird mushrooms that grow in the park I kind of ground them up and shot him up. When I was sure he was out I threw him in a field." Mel and Emb both started to growl and I put my hand up "well hope you're rested because you got patrol for the next month two hours rest every two weeks." He scoffed and I glared "I don't want to hear a word now have you eaten if not go get some food then get on patrol."
Once Joe sulked out of the door I looked up and laughed at the looks on Paul, Jake, Seth, and Emb was giving me. Mel glanced back and laughed too and Mike cut in "boys shut your mouths you're going to catch flies if you leave them open." He walked up to me and Mel "ok you two need to settle down" I looked at him and laughed a little more before settling down and standing back up. Paul walked up to me "I am so glad you are not my alpha." I smiled "I could always train Sam" he looked at me and I smiled. "No thanks he is tough enough" he said then kissed the top of my head. Jake spoke up "you are not really going to stick with that are you." Jamie chuckled "you don't know my sister too well if you don't know she never hands out a punishment she does not stick too." I chuckled "you should know" I said and Jamie nodded "and yes Jake it will stick."
