One Night of Drinking

Chapter 25

"I said no," Willow shook her head as she flipped through the binder.

"Pookie, I understand you want to stay here," he gently said as he sat beside her, "but I have no reason to keep you here."

"MY BABIES ARE HERE SEAN!" She shouted slamming the binder shut. "I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT MY BABIES! I REFUSE!"

"Pookie," He sighed.

"Don't you Pookie me Sean Green!" She glared at him and crossed her chest. "Can you honestly say you can go home without your children?"

"Yes," he said honestly, and she looked at him shocked. "I can go home while they stay here because I know they are where they need to be until they are strong enough to come home." He took her hands in his and smiled softly. "I also take complete comfort in the fact that there are guards standing outside of NICU all the time protecting our babies. And on top of that—"

"I stay with them all night long," Erica said as she walked in.

"What?" Willow asked and Erica nodded.

"I am taking the night shift until they go home so I can be with them during the night while you get rest," Erica said gently, "and make sure you have everything how you want it at the house."

"Gabe already has that taken care of," She shook her head.

"But you haven't seen it," she said softly. "What if you get home and you want the nursery set up differently? You need to make sure everything is how YOU want it to be, not how Gabe thinks it should be. Mommy's set up is differently than Daddies 95% of the time, they don't always think how things will work for Mommy, especially one that is recovering from a C-section. Go home Willow," she said softly. "I promise I will not leave the NICU until you come back in the morning to hold them. I understand how hard it is, I do. I had to leave both Kota and Jess in the NICU when they were born."

"You did?" Sean and Willow asked shocked.

"We were both born early," Kota nodded. "We only stayed a few days but yes."

"And I didn't have the comfort of knowing they were protected other than trying to have faith in the hospital," Erica nodded softly. "You have the comfort of knowing I will be there and the bodyguards will be there as well. I promise if anything happens at all, I will call you immediately."

"Okay," she sniffled, "but I don't like it."

"I know," Erica hugged her, "but you will get to see them first thing in the morning, I promise."

"Okay," she pouted.

"Hey Kitten," Raven said as he walked in. He frowned seeing her tears, "what wrong?"

"I just don't want to leave the babies," she shook her head.

"Oh, da, I get," Raven nodded. "But they need stay get strong."

"I know," she sighed. "I just don't like it. It feels wrong."

"I bring when wake, promise."

"After she eats breakfast," North glared at him. "We can bring her after everyone has breakfast. If she doesn't eat, then she won't be able to make milk for the babies."

"Fine," Raven nodded. He noticed the binder and smiled, "You pick yet?"

She nodded, "Yeah, I did, I circled them, here."

"I give Father," he nodded taking the binder from her.

"You know what that fucking means, don't you Trouble?" Gabe asked smirking. She looked at him confused, "We can shop online for everything they will need."

"Shop for what?" Victor asked confused. "I thought we got everything we needed, even with the two surprise ones."

"We're getting new puppies," Willow smiled. "Father wants each baby to have their own guard dog and apparently I need one too even though I have all of you and Max."

"They get training," Nikolai smiled as he walked in. "You choose?"

"Da," Raven said as he handed him the binder. "Here."

Nikolai flipped through them and smiled, "Good choose. I go make call then see babies."

"I'll meet you outside the unit," Erica smiled. "I promise, I'll call if anything happens. Go home, boss Gabe around, make it how YOU want it."

"Okay," Willow nodded, "but I still don't like it."

"So, what kind are we getting?" Kota asked curiously.

"Will Max be okay with seven puppies?" She asked nervously.

"Of course," Kota grinned, "he's going to love it. Now what kind are we getting?"

"Six huskies," she smiled, "and one full grown pit bull, that way the puppies and babies can grow together. I thought it was best."

"It is," Kota nodded, "you and Gabe are going to have fun shopping. I'll go ahead and head to the store and get kennels then find room. You can get the rest of the stuff."

"Come on Trouble," Gabe smirked, "let's get you home then we can do some online shopping. Let's see if we can make a dent in Vic's account."

She smirked and shook her head, "I seriously doubt it."

Victor smirked, "You can certainly try, Princess."
