Sebastian

The next day Sebastian wakes up before Skye does. He goes downstairs to find Alice, who is serving Gray and Theo their breakfast. "Alpha," Alice greets him, "would you like your breakfast?"

"Yes, please," he responds.

Alice sets a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast in front of him. "Is Skylar still asleep?"

He nods, not wanting to speak with food in his mouth. When he finishes his food, he asks Gray and Theo, "Do you want to go to the park today?"

"Yeah!" Gray and Theo answer.

"Okay, we'll wait until your mom is to see if she wants to come with us."

"Yay, mama!"

Skye

Two hours later, Skye finally wanders downstairs. "S...Sebby?" she asks, "W...where are you?"

"I'm in the living room!" he answers, "Gray and Theo are with me!"

She limps into the living room. "Mama!" Gray and Theo run up to her and hug her.

"Mama, feel better?" Gray asks.

"Y...yes," she responds.

"Mama, come to the park with us?" Theo asks.

"O...okay, I'll c...come with you. I n...need to eat something f...first." Her eyes wander around the room.

"What are you looking for?" Sebastian asks.

"S...Silas and C...Celeste?"

"Mom has them. She's upstairs."

"O...okay, I'm going to go e...eat now." She leaves the room and goes into the kitchen. "A...Alice?"

"Good morning, Skylar," Alice answers, "How are you feeling?"

"B...better, my fever is g...gone."

"That's good, did Sebastian ask you if you wanted to accompany him, Gray and Theo to the park?"

"T...Theo did, I need to e..eat something first."

"Yes, you do. What would you like to eat?"

"I d...don't know."

"Porridge won't upset your stomach too much. I'll sweeten it with sugar." Skye nods and sits down at the table.

A few minutes later, Alice places a bowl in front of her. "T...thank you."

"Be careful, it's hot."

Skye blows on the porridge before putting it in her mouth. "Mhmm, good."

"Do you like it?" Skye nods. She manages to finish the porridge off, although it does take her several minutes to do so. After she finishes eating, she limps back into the living room. "I'm r...ready."

"You ate?" Sebastian asks.

She nods, "P...porridge."

Sebastian looks satisfied. "Okay, Gray, Theo, are you ready to go?"

"Yes!" the boys answer.

"U...uh," Skye murmurs, "d...do y...you t...think C...C...Charlotte w...would come?"

"We can ask her if you want," Sebastian answers. Skye nods. "I'll be right back then." He leaves the room and heads upstairs to find his mother.

"L...let's get your s...shoes on," Skye says to Gray and Theo. She finds their shoes nearby and sits down on the floor. "S...sit down, s...so I can put your s...shoes on." Gray and Theo look at each other before begrudgingly sitting next to their mother. She puts their shoes on. "N...now we can l...leave when S...Sebby g...gets back."
