Forbidden Bonds

Chapter 18

Sebastian

When Sebastian wakes up, he notices that Skye isn't in bed with him anymore. He gets up and goes to his room to shower, and change into clean clothing. After showering, shaving, and changing into clean clothing, he heads downstairs, where Skye is in the kitchen with Alice.

"What are you two doing?" he asks.

"S...Sebby!" Skye exclaims, sounding startled.

"I'm teaching Skye how to make a new dish," Alice explains, "She asked me a while ago to teach her how to cook."

"I l...like t...to c...cook."

"You do?" Sebastian asks.

She nods. "I c...cooked f...for Alpha N...Nathan."

He lets out an unhappy growl. "You mean he forced you to cook for him."

She looks away from him, nodding. "I'm s...supposed t...to g...go s...see Dr. P...Patel today."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"W...will you?"

"Of course, what time do you have to be there?"

"1 pm."

"Alright, have fun with Alice. I'll come find you when it's time to leave."

"O...okay."

Sebastian leaves the kitchen and goes to his study to work on paperwork. Fifteen minutes later, there's a knock on the door. "Come in!" Sebastian answers.

Skye comes in holding a plate of chicken breast and mashed potatoes. "H...here," she says, handing him the plate and a fork, "try please."

He takes the plate and the fork and takes a bite of the chicken and the mashed potatoes. "Mhmm, this is good," he says, with food still in his mouth.

She giggles. "S...Sebby, d...don't t...talk w...with f...food in y...your m...mouth."

"You try." He offers her some of the chicken breast and mashed potatoes.

She eats the bite of food, chewing it slowly to see if she likes the taste. "I...it's g...good."

"It is. Let's go eat in the dining room."

"O...okay."

They walk into the dining room and sit down. Alice brings out plates of the chicken breast and mashed potatoes. Gray and Theo come into the room and sit down at the table next to their mother. They begin to eat with their hands. "Good!" Gray exclaims.

"Yum!" Theo shouts.

"I'm g...glad y...you l...like it," Skye says, "I...is A...Alice g...going t...to eat?"

"I'm not sure," Sebastian answers, "You want me to ask her?" She nods, so Sebastian mindlinks Alice and asks, "Alice, do you want to eat with us?"

"If you don't mind, alpha."

"I don't, Skye's the one who asked though."

A few minutes later, Alice comes out with a plate of her own. She sits down and joins in on the conversation. Eventually, everyone finishes their food and Skye takes her boys to the bathroom to clean their hands and faces.

Once she returns to the living room, Sebastian asks, "Are you ready to go, Skye?" She nods and follows him out to the car.

Skye

When Skye and Sebastian arrive at the hospital, they stop at the receptionist desk to ask for directions. Eventually, they make it to Dr. Patel's office and Sebastian knocks on the door. "Come in!" Dr. Patel says. They enter the room. Dr. Patel is sitting in a chair. There are two other people in the room with her. "Skylar, Sebastian, Thomas and Ellie. Thomas, Ellie, Sebastian and Skylar."
