Wolfsbane

Chapter 22

Jamie

Olivia and I were now at one of the chain stores in the little town near the pack grounds. We looked up and down trying to find the perfect toys for all the children. "What about this one?" Olivia asked picking up a little stuffed gray wolf and making it dance in the air. I tried not to laugh watching her do a little dance with the little wolf. "No that's something you would get a baby, we need something better that doesn't scream your gonna bug out when your older and become a wolf." I said making her laugh as well.

"What about this?" I asked picking up a star wars lightsaber and turning it on. Her eyes grew the size of quarters like she had never seen it before. "What is that?" She asked surprising me. "It's a lightsaber, they are like swords but instead of a blade it's light. It can cut through a human body like butter." I told her and she looked like she was going to freak out. "You mean to tell me, that is a kids toy?" She asked pointed at it in horror. I laughed at her surprise and shook my head no. "These are just fake ones made of plastic and lights, they are from a movie, you'll have to watch it one of these days." I told her with a smile.

She picked one up and turned it on listening to the sound and watching the light fill up the plastic tube. "Now we swing them at each other in battle like a sword war." I told her and she was quick to swing at my lightsaber. After a few hits I took her to the ground and won the fight. "Yeah we are totally getting these for the boys." Olivia said picking up more and threw them all into the buggy and continued shopping. We searched high and low looking for the girls something. A few shelves over Olivia had found a few things but nothing like the boys toy.

As we looked on the last shelf I found a stuffed teddy bear with markers. "Oh my god, it's a doodle bear!" I almost screamed picking it up and showing it to her. "What's a doodle bear?" She asked with a little weird look on her face. "So you take these markers and draw all over the bear. Once your done you can keep the drawing on the bear for as long as you want or you can throw it in the washing machine and wash it. It comes out clean and you can start all over again." I explained showing her the instructions on the back. "The girls will love that for sure. I wish I could have had that when I was a little girl." Olivia said helping me get all the bears and throwing them into the buggy with the lightsabers.

"And now, on to the shirts." I said making it to the kids clothing. "Black or blue?" I asked holding up the shirts. "How about we get them light blue jean jackets and get patches made for them?" She asked holding up a cute little jacket. "Connor would love that. we could put their birth year on the back like a jersey!" I said happily. "Before we fully make that decision you should call Connor." She told me and I was quick to get my phone out to make the call. Within five minutes I was tossing jackets into the buggy and heading to the checkout line.

Once Olivia and I were done shopping we went to the embroidery shop to place our order for the patches and numbers. We left the jackets with a little woman and then went to go get lunch together. "Gloria took me to a little diner down the way. Let's go and get something good to eat." I told her and we both made the walk and went int othe diner to eat. We ordered our food and sat around enjoying ourselves. After a few hours we got a call from the little lady telling us our jackets were ready. As soon as we made it to the shop we got the jackets and paid the lady before leaving back to the pack grounds. To my surprise the little lady had packed every jacket in a bo of it's own with a to: and from: paper.

Connor and Olivia helped me pack all the kids things together in bags and boxes. We spent at least an hour just packing and then another hour writing names on the papers from Jamie, Olivia and Alpha Connor. "And done." I announced with happiness in my voice. "Now go get dressed for pack dinner and then you can help me carry these down to the pack house." Connor said waving me and Olivia away with his hand as Olivia made her way home. I ran up stairs and changed into gray sweatpants and a t-shirt of Connor's. I kept my hair in a messy bun and ran back downstairs and when to help Connor.

Once we made it to the pack house I was quick to hide the gifts and we all settled down to eat our pack meal. We had an amazing roast with mashed potatoes, green beans, and tea. After dinner we had a nice chocolate cake. I was almost done when I felt eyes on the back of my head. I turned around and seen Connor staring right at me, I nodded my head understanding what he was saying without his words. "May I have your attention please." Connor spoke loudly causing everyone to stop talking and look to him.

He waved his hands and Olivia, Luke, and I stood up going to grab the gifts bringing them to the front of the dinning hall on the left or right of Connor. "My friends and I have decided to do something nice for the pack children. We have gotten them all a little gift. These gifts are for all of you. Though you may be young right now but you are just as important to this pack as your parents are. Please children take your seats and we will bring the gifts to you." All the kids listened to Connor and we took to handing out the gifts.

After every gift was passed out we sat and watched the children open up the gifts and put on their jackets. The girls were quick to scribble all over their bears and the boys seemed to have no clue how to use their lightsabers. "Boys, come with me outside and I'll show you how to use your toy." I spoke and they were on thier feet following me to go outside.
