Begin Again in a New Pack

Chapter 34

Gabrielle's POV
"Do you think it's time to tell the twins and Mari everything?"

"Gab they're seven and eight. No."

"They keep asking all these questions and I'm getting tired of lying."

"Cody and Delilah found out when they were teens. We should wait until then. Plus they don't even understand that there's  heartless people out in the world. Let's keep it that way for now."

"Ugh fine."

"Is that Cody yelling?"

"ONYX GIVE ME THAT BACK!!"

We walked into the living room and saw Cody had his back turned to us. I guess he's trying to open his son's hands.

"Did you just put that in your nose?"

"Boys what's wrong?"

"Your grandson just shoved an eraser up his nose. RIVER! COME DOWN HERE! BRING TWEEZERS! HEY! ONYX DAWN COME BACK HERE!"

"He's a mini Cody."

"Cody didn't put anything up his nose though."

Cody walked back into the living room holding Onyx. River was behind them.

"Mom? Why is Cody yelling?"

"You're supposed to be in bed little wolf."

"I wanted a drink."

We followed Cody into the bathroom and he put Onyx on the counter.

"Look up."

"No!"

"Onyx Knight Dawn look up."

"No!"

"Since when did he have a middle name?"

"I guess we forgot to tell you that."

"Head up. Don't shake your head at me. If you don't listen then someone is going to hold your head up."

Cody started holding his forehead back and brought the tweezers close to his son's face. Onyx put his head down.

"Onyx.. Mommy is going to hold your head if you don't stop moving."

Onyx kept squirming. River ended up having to hold his head.

"Can someone get me a flashlight? I can't see it really."

Delilah handed him her phone with the flashlight on.

"Okay I see it."

Onyx started crying.

"I know buddy. I know. I'm sorry. It'll be over in a bit. Wow you really jammed it up there. Ready?"

"No!"

"Deep breath. 1.2. Sorry buddy. 3."

Onyx screamed.

"Ha! I got it! See? All better."

"Onyx! No hitting your father!"

"Ow! He just bit me! Okay you can stay on the counter then."

"No! I sowy!"

Cody handed Lilah her phone back then helped Onyx get off the counter.

"What do we do with it? Do we put it in a memory book or something?"

"Harley swallowed a dime when he was three and my parents put it in his memory box."

"Your brother swallowed a dime?"
