Chapter 81

"Drew, I was thinking I would like to take you and your betas fishing with me and my betas. We have some beautiful mountain lakes, if you want, we can make it a boys' day. It is time for some male bonding."

Kevin clears his throat, "Could I come along?"

Melody raises her eyebrows, "Do you feel strong enough for that?"

"I will have my strong son to help me if I get too tired. Along with all these fine gentlemen."

"You can go as long as they watch out for you, and you rest on this trip. Anthony do not make him over do it. Drew, that includes you he is better but not one hundred percent."

"I'll watch out for my father, I promise. You know dad we haven't been fishing in a long time."

"I agree I miss going, we should do it more often."

"Now that you are better we can."

"Soon if he keeps this up." Melody warns. "If I am correct he will be done treatment in four days. Then you can take him home for the follow up treatment at your pack."

"That is the best news I have heard. I can't wait to get back home. Sorry it is not that you haven't been anything but nice and I am more grateful than words can say. It is I have a pack to run, and I have been gone for over two weeks."

"We can totally understand Alpha Drew. It is not easy to run a pack and not being there makes it much harder."

7:00 the next morning Anthony talks to his father, "Dad, how long will it take for you and Branden to redo our security?"

"If we work hard enough we should have it done by 2:00."

"Let me go say goodbye to Melody, then we can get everyone loaded up and out of here by 8:00."

At the house Melody is worrying. "Papa Charley, please go with Anthony. I'll be fine here they won't even be around."

"I don't like leaving you, Little one. We don't know what they are planning."

"I have the whole pack to protect me, Anthony needs you. I have Stephen coming to visit today. It will be nice to see him. Plus, didn't you say they won't do anything until after he is better. He won't risk it this close to the end of his treatment."

Anthony walks in, "Melody, it's time to go."

"I told Papa Charley to go with you."

"Who's going to watch you?"

"Your dad and Branden will be here and the whole pack is around, I'll be fine. Besides you'll have the troublemakers with you."

"Melody, I don't like you being alone."

"I won't be alone. Amanda, Bonnie and I are taking the kids to the park this morning. With the nannies of course. Stephen is also coming this afternoon. I always love the way he talks about music and the excitement that he has when he and I play together. I think he wants to plan another concert."

As Anthony goes out the door, Amanda and Bonnie walk in, "Have fun, girls."

"Good morning, Melody are the kids up yet?"

"No, you said you didn't want to do anything until after 8 so I was letting them sleep."

"I had to get up with Kody since he's going fishing with Anthony. So, here I am."

"What's in the basket?"

"Bonnie had this great idea, on the way over we stopped at the bakery."

"Yeah, I told Amanda, why can't we have a breakfast picnic? I got you your favorite, chocolate chip muffins."
