Thanks for helping @ESternberg79

Lilifrets POV

Waking up I yawned and snuggled into Emerson. He tightened grip on my waist.

It felt good waking up like this. Just comfortably in his arms. Safe and snuggled.

"Morning," I muttered through mind link.

Emerson didn't reply just ajusted me closer to him. It was already 10 and I'm sure Seven would be coming in to wake us up any minute.

He just couldn't let us injoy a good afternoon sleep.

Closing my eyes I tried to get some more sleep. My body was still exaushed. I felt Emerson's body being shaken underneith me groaned.

Of course Seven came the exact moment I was about to pass out again.

When I opened my eyes Seven was standing above Emerson and Willow was close behind him.

Tired I rubbed my eyes and moved off of Emerson's chest with my joins screaming in discomfort frkm being bend.

Willow pulled me out of bed as Seven just smacked Emerson so he would wake up. I'm not sure why he didn't just let me wake him up. I was honestly the only one who woke him up anymore.

Emerson's eyes snapped opened and they were full of anger. When he forcused in on Seven he stopped glaring and got up slowly with a groan.

Seven started to speak to him with his back slightly towards me and as I tried to make out his words Willow turned me to her away from the other two pulling me into the bathroom.

"I'm going to do your make up today,"she said as I stared at her silently.

Willow sat me down on a stool in front of a large mirror and began to do my make up. Once she was finished Willow turned me to the mirror and I looked good. Very good.

Smiling my thanks I nodded trying to tell her how much I appreciated her doing my makeup for me. Since I had all brother no one except my mom wore makeup. Even my mom only wore mascara.

I'd learned all on my own.

Willow opened the bathroom door revealing a shirtless Emerson with wet hair pulling on jeans.

I smiled and got up from the small stool. Willow left but before she did she told me,"I'm coming back once your dressed and we are going to have a day together. While the boys do their thing."

Willow left swiftly out the door with Seven as I turned to Emerson with a questioning look. He hadn't mentioned he was having a guys day.

It's not that he couldn't but I just thought he'd tell me.

"When were you gonna tell me you were going out?" I asked him through mind link.

Pulling off my tank top I shimmied out of my pajama bottoms. From the corner of my eye Emerson cracked a smile.

"You would have been mad, but me and Seven are going on pack business today and then we're going to hang out a bit. Willow wanted to spend girl alone time with you anyways."

Pouting slightly I dressed myself in some tight jeans and I nice shirt grabbing Emerson's arm swiftly pulling him towards me. Emerson's smile grew, spreading across his face, as he bend down and pecked my lips.

"I've gotta go but I'll see you for dinner okay,"Emerson murmured out loud.

Nodding I followed him out to where both Seven and Willow were waiting. Emerson squeezed my hand and I smiled at him kissing his cheek one last time.

Willow grabbed me pulling me down the stairs away from Emerson. We past a few people on our way down who I'd need seen before.

Emerging from the front door I walked across the lawn, down to the a garage where a small black car was parked. Getting into the drivers seat Willow motioned me into the vehicle.

Once we were on the road and out of the packs yard I was wondering where we were going. After a good twenty minutes we stopped in a park.

It was pretty. Small and cute. It was foresty around it with a row of swings and jungle gym. There were also lots of benches. Only a few people were there as well.

A mother with two kids and an old couple. There was one guy jogging but he seemed to just be passing through.

Pulling out a pad and pen I wrote quickly,"Why r we here?"

"To teach you how to speak even though you can't hear," she said through mind link happily as she smiled widely.

I furrowed my brows. How was she talking though mind link? And how could I speak?

Following her to one of the park benches I sat and she seemed so excited,"Okay so you can speak through mind link so you know what words sound like you just have to make your lips form those words."

I nodded and shifting farther onto the bench.

"Say cat," Willow said slowly as I watched her lips.

Shaking my head I told her though mind link I couldn't. She said cat again but not just allowed but through mind link.

"Just try please," Willow whinned.

Again I nodded and took a slow deep breath. Before I said anything I moved my lips he exact way Willow had when she had said the word as I chanted it in my mind.

"Cat."

I gave her a questioning glance asking if it sounded right. She grinned widely,"That was perfect it sounded like you weren't even deaf."

For hours we sat and I repeated sentences and words and colors. We had conversations. It was probably making my top ten favorite days list.

"Okay well now let's go do girly things. Like get you a dress,"Willow said standing abruptly.

"Okay," I said allowed.

Willow had told me when we were together to talk as much as possible because it helped. She wanted me to keep it a secret until the perfect time so I could suprise Emerson.

Getting up with her I asked,"Why do I need a dress."

"Every girl needs a nice dress,"Willow said dancing towards her car.
