Natalia POV
                        

I get dressed and see Rowan already done and I get to [aching all my belongings we will need and see his 2 puppies come bara lying in with their bags and jump up on the bed and watch me like a hawk and look to ROwan and look at me. I look at Rowan coming back from downstairs with our food in hand and says it is a little burnt. I made toast and jam instead.I looked at him and pulled him in for a kiss because I didn't know why. I just feel out of it and want as much of his attention at the moment and I don't know why. I felt childish wanting gto seek safety from him. I don't know what but I did. I ate the toast still having a hard time processing what happened. Our home is not safe and I want to be safe. I want to feel safe. I look him in the eyes and ask when we will be safe again. I ask seeking any kind of comfort just wanting to know it will be ok. He looks at me and then back at his food and says soon darling. He asks are you ok you never want this much attention and are not one for physical touch i tell him not that i know of but then i think for a moment maybe it could be the red demon visiting so i think and i motion for him to hand me my phone on the stand and he dose and i look at the date and swear it is her she is visiting. I look at him and say there might be a reason. He looks confused and asks what reason would that be not wanting to actually say it. I say the red demon. He looks around and asks what red demon and I facepalm . I think for a second and just blurt it out feeling so embarrassed I cover my face as I say it. "my period " He looks taken aback and asks if i need anything and i just look at him and say cuddles and chocolate. He facepalms and finishes packing our bags why I get everything I need for the demon visiting. I pack a whole nother bag just full of tampons and pads. I then come out with our shower things and my bathroom bag and his with them already packed i stick them in our duffle bags that were the last things to go in so we grab the puppies on their leash and get ready to head out ROwan grabs the keys knowing i not in the right mind to drive. We drove to his parents house. His mom Jenna meets us at the door and his dad Gregereth. I look at both of them and his mum runs to me giving me a hug and turning to our 2 puppies and goes to them and says grandma has 2 new bones for 2 special puppies. I smile and look at Greg and see him looking at me with what looks like pity. I see out of the corner of my eye something moving in the bushes. I pull out a gun and say step out now. The rest look at me like I'm crazy when a squirrel pops out of the bush. I put my gun away and apologize. I know i need to fuckin tough up and stop being a child about it. I take my bags from the trunk and go to carry them in and as i go to greg comes and takes them and says it is a man of the house to carry luggage you should be resting after the shock of the day my dear. I look at him not expecting him to say that. I look at him and say thank you and ask what he means by it is the man's job. He says your bags are heavy dear and it is manners for men to carry the bags for the lady. It is courtesy and I can tell you are still in a bit of shock from the events. You seem more distant like you're scared. I look at him with eyes of admiration wishing my father was like this. This kind and understanding noticing my inner distress he walks over to me and says what is wrong why do you cry dear? I look up to him and say I wish you were my father. He looks at me and says as he gives me a hug. I am your dad hunny you are to marry my son i am your dad and i promise to be a good dad and you will be my daughter. I gave him a hug, having no words, shocked 2 times in the same day, one out of love and the other out of fear. He lets me go and says follow me I will show you where you will be staying with Rowan. I follow him into the house and up a beautifully crafted staircase swirling around what looks to be a tree trunk. We get to a room with a wolf on the front. And under the wolf it says Rowan. When i touch the door an angel appears next to the wolf on the door that says Natalia looking surprised he laughs and says that is natrael now why dont you sit down and freshen up. I know that the day has not been too kind. I nod and say thank you then I realize we are with his parents now. As soon as Rowan enters with the rest of the bags I jump onto him and cling for dear life. He looks confused for a moment before realizing what he promised earlier. He lets out a breath and says how long does this last ? not letting go i tell him about a week. He looks flabbergasted and says will you be clingy all week? I look at him with confusion and rejection thinking he is rejecting me thinking I'm being too clingy . I start to let go when he says stay. It is ok. I enjoy the cuddles. I'm just wondering how long I will get them because I plan to savor them. I look at him and say good because I have no plans of letting go. He sits down on the bed with me in his arms still clinging for life. I listen to the beat of his heart and next thing i knowI wake to knock on the door to Greg popping his head in telling us lunch is ready and me still not opening ,my eyes he thinks i'm still asleep. So I listen to them talk and he asks Rowan is she ok ?He replies I'm not sure and I know she will not just open up and tell me I think it is the shock that a place she thought was safe is not safe any more. Why do you think that is the reason because since that she has been clingy she is seeking safety. Well son im glad that she is not trying to kill everything instead please make sure she stays safe there's more than what meets the eye in her.
