The Wild Orchid

Chapter 33

                 The next morning while Phalen and Gabby were still sleeping their entire household returned home. When they got home they didn't see anything out of the ordinary. As they walked to the kitchen Aspen noticed clothing on the floor. Being curious she went to the all season porch. When she got out there she saw that Phalen and Gabby had gotten their letter. As Aspen looked past the back of the couch she noticed that the trail of clothing was leading to Phalen and Gabby's room. When she saw this she began laughing.

                 Autumn was the first to notice Aspen laughing. As she noticed this Autumn asked, "What on earth are you laughing about?" Aspen then waived the entire household over and pointed at the trail of clothing leading to Phalen and Gabby's room. They all looked at each other. Aria then says, "Well damn, shit must have gotten intense if they left a complete trail of clothing leading to their bedroom." As they all began laughing Gabby and Phalen came out of their room. They were wearing only sweatpants and sports bras.

                 When Phalen and Gabby saw their household Phalen wrapped her arms around Gabby's waist and leaned against the wall next to their bedrooms doorway. Finally Gabby said, "Welcome home guys. We missed you all." After the household heard this they smiled, ambushed Phalen and Gabby, then wrapped them is a group hug. As the household was hugging them Phalen states while laughing, "Ok, get off us you damn jerks. Who wants breakfast?" Once released from the hug Phalen picks the trail of clothing up leading to their bedroom, and places the clothes in their hamper. When she comes back out of the room she closes the door then joins Gabby in the kitchen to make breakfast.

                 As they made breakfast together Aspen states teasingly, "Do tell you two." Gabby smiles then replies, "We're not telling you shit wise ass." Autumn pipes up, "You two don't have to. It's written all over both your faces. Not to mention the trail of clothing to your guy's bedroom was an obvious give away." When Autumn finished speaking they all busted out laughing together. While Gabby and Phalen were making breakfast the entire crew showed up and walked in. When the entire household saw this they all said their hellos.

                 After a few moments Sassy asks, "So how are the newlyweds doing this morning?" Before Gabby or Phalen could respond Aspen states, "I think our newlyweds decided to work on pup production mom." Gabby hearing that replies, "Hey! Aspen not funny you ass. We're standing right here. We're not planning to have any pups yet. In the future, yes. Right now, no. Since when did you start calling Sassy mom?" Aspen laughs while saying, "I started calling her mom lastnight. That's definitely not what we saw when we got home this morning. A trail of clothing leading to your guy's bedroom." Phalen and Gabby began blushing. Phalen then playfully slaps Aspen on the back of the head. Then Phalen states, "Pup production isn't even a thought in our heads. We want to wait to have kids." That's when they all laughed together.

                  Sassy then states, "Oh damn it. I was hoping for some grandpups soon." "Mom! Really!" Phalen replies stunned and shocked. Sassy begins laughing. Once she composed herself she says, "Only kidding. Well, kind of sorta. Although, I'm definitely looking forward to being a grandmother in the future." Phalen places her hand on her forehead and shakes her head at her mother. Finally Gabby replies, "To answer your question mom, we're doing well this morning." Sassy just smiled at them.

                 After Phalen finished shaking her head she states, "Again, really mom. Don't rush it damn it. We need to deal with Bane before we even consider or feel comfortable with having children. So what's everybody's plans for the day?" They all just shrugged. Silence then fell over the room. After a few minutes passed Kelcey says, "Phalen, Gabby, later on would it be possible to talk to you guys about something?" Gabby smiles at Kelcey while stating, "Absolutely Kelcey. Let us know when and the three of us can go somewhere private to talk. I can tell by the way you asked that, it's not something you're entirely ready to share yet." Kelcey shook her head yes to agreeing to what Gabby had stated.
