Thirty-Six

Cotton

I sit back and listen to Saige explain everything to her family, best friend, and Alivia.

So far, they all seem to be handling it all well.

We need to make sure that we put these kids first, along with the girls.

I always want them watched. Stone looks over to me, giving a slight nod.

He agrees with my way of thinking. It looks like Loki and Bacon are definitely going to be staying with us for quite some time. At least they both are willing.

Tires looks over at his sister, asking, “Sis, are you sure you want to do this, especially with the twins on the way? I know you love her, we all do, but are you biting off more than you can chew? I don’t want you to overdo it.”

Saige looks up at him, smiling. “Coop, I love you, and I know you are worried, but I got this. I was pregnant with the twins when I promised to do this. I have Alivia to help, and y’all.

I’m worried about everything that is going on.

But I know we’ll all pull through all this, we’ll find out what is going on, and we’ll be the stronger for it. ”

“Sai, Sai, cans we has desserts now? I wants them all to try what we mades. Do you think the ice cweam juice is turned to ice cweam now?”

Saige smiles, agreeing that we can, saying, “I’m sure it has sweetie.” Bacon brings a couple of trays to the table with all kinds of desserts, and you can definitely tell a sweet little girl helped to make them.

I smile really big. “Okay, sweetheart, which one do you think I should try?” Bethany grins really big and goes around the table telling everyone which dessert they should try. We spend the rest of the evening telling her how much we loved what they made and laughing.

Bexley and Saige are going over a couple of recipes for the bakery while I sit in the living room with the guys. Alivia took Bethany up for a bath and to read her a bedtime story or four. Stone, Leilani, Cruz, and Stella all took off a couple hours ago.

“Tires, has there been any news about Michael lately, or Tonya for that matter? She hasn’t answered her phone the last couple of times Saige has tried to call her, and ya know, she never came to the hospital or here for that matter to see Saige. Also, has anyone heard anything about Beth and Buck?”

Tires shakes his head as he sighs, “No, man. Michael seems to be laying low right now. Last anything showed on him was he was at his brother’s mansion in the capital.

Tonya was arrested for trying to rob the store next to the bakery.

I have no clue what the hell she was doing that for, I know the last time we saw her, she was acting weird, wouldn’t even look at me.

And when I called her name out, she took off running like the Hounds of Hell were after her.

That was two days after Saige was shot. And as for Beth and Buck, we can’t find them or his car anywhere, and no one has seen her boyfriend lately.

Maybe we should look at the tape footage from the bakery and see if we see anything or anyone suspicious on there.

Commander Thomas has a BOLO out for them.

How long are y’all going to wait to go through with adopting Bethany? ”

I look up to see Saige and Bexley walk into the room. She answers before I can, “We’re going to go to the courthouse next week to get married and do the adoption all in one day. I’m going to sit and explain everything to Bethany in the morning with Cotton before he goes to work.”

Bexley is smiling and hugging her best friend, Tires looks stumped. “Does Dad know you aren’t having a big wedding? I thought that’s what you wanted.”

She shakes her head, replying, “I never wanted a big wedding, and if Dad hadn’t of insisted on it to Cotton, we wouldn’t be living in a castle either.

He knows that’s what we’re doing. We want the immediate family there, and we’ll do a reception at the clubhouse.

Bexley is doing the cake for us, Stella and Leilani are making a dinner, though I wanted to have it catered by Chez Rouge.

” I take her hand and pull her down on my lap, hugging her close.

Tires seems to finally have everything out that he wanted to, and after another hour, he and Bexley head home for the night.
