Chapter 93

"Good evening, ladies. Thank you for joining us," Michael says as he greets them. They nod in response, then follow him to the table where Drew and Eric are waiting for them. Each one of the ladies are seated with one of the men and the room is very quiet.

"Well, how has your day been?" asks Eric. No one answers him.

Drew is getting angry again. "Why is it when we visited that other place you could laugh and sing and be happy. That is what you are to do here, that is an order."

Melody straightens her shoulders ready to speak when Laurie decides to talk. "You need to realize we are used to having all our family around us, this is a much more formal setting. Maybe if we could all be together then it would be easier for us, we have left our two friends and the kids behind."

"Mothers don't like leaving their children behind," Melody adds.

Bonnie joins the conversation. "We are very close to each other, that is why when we travel, we travel as a group. We all like to be in one place at the same time."

Drew is listening to what the ladies have said, then a few minutes later he tells them, "We will have dinner together at your home from now on and that way all of us will be spending the night together. This will also allow me to see my son and daughter."

"That will also let me see my grand pups, I can't wait to play with them."

"We do not expect any of you to be overjoyed about being here at this moment, but we do expect you to get use to the better home we have provided for all of you. It is better than the ones you had with the men you all were with."

"This home has no yard and no windows, what make it so much better Drew?"

"Isn't it obvious, we come with it."

That statement has the three of them gagging on their food and looking at him like he has lost his mind. He then continues, "I would like to have you play for me tomorrow evening with that Amanda person. I still have your house for you, and it has a piano in it. When things get better you will stay there with your friends and come home to me at night. Per our conversation from the other evening."

Michael adds in, "Laurie, you will be staying with me at our home every night starting this evening."

"I cannot leave my daughter and Amanda at this time they may need me, and I will be too far away from them. I would like to wait to do this until my grand pups are born and I have some time to adjust along with Carley."

"Carley will stay with the other children. She is not mine. You will do as my daughter is doing, come willingly to my home and to my bed?"

Trying to hold back the anger that is threatening to explode she grits her teeth, "Yes."

"Then we will wait for the grand pups to be born and that will be all that I wait.

Eric takes Bonnie's hand, "You will join me in my home, I have built for the two of us. You have no reason to not come to me now."

"I am carrying my mates child, I cannot stay with you right now. You and I have never even dated, I would like to take the time and get to know you and also get use to the idea that you will be my mate from now on."

"You have known me for your entire life how can you not know me?"

"With what you did with Melody I never paid much attention to you."

Eric is showing how pissed he is with the daggers in his eyes. "Fine, then you will have until after you have that thing you are carrying. Then you will come to me as my mate."

If you give me the time I need to adjust, then I will do as you ask.

Melody turns to Drew," I would like to set up a time we could take the children outside. They need to run and play. We also need to get out of the dark night that is our home right now."

Drew smiles, "When I can trust you and your friends I will move you to a house. Until then I want you to stay where you are at."

"I know we have to prove ourselves, just give us an hour a day or every other day so the kids and us have a reason to smile and be happy."

"Let's see how things go with dinners and the time we spend together. If we have no more hitting or fighting, time will tell. Finish eating and we will go from there." When the evening was over the three men walked the ladies back to the bunker and proceeded to kiss them good night.

The next few weeks have gone by slowly Melody and Amanda have both gotten to the point that they can't walk and are not able to see their feet. A solemn mood has come over the women, all they want is to go home, to be with the ones they love.

Melody is talking to her mom, "The pups are due in less than two weeks do you think they will find us?"

"I don't know baby, for right now just concentrate on you and the pups and the kids that are running all around the living room."

"Do you think they gave up on us? No. I know they didn't I don't know why I said that. This has been so much harder than I thought. All I do is dream he comes and saves us, then I have a nightmare that Drew kills him when he comes."

"You know that is silly. Anthony is so much stronger than Drew and he loves you like no one else could love you. Now stop all this worrying and play with the pups while I get you something to eat."

"Don't bother mom I couldn't eat right now. I feel bad, let me get some sleep maybe I will feel better."

"You are going to eat when you wake up do you hear me?"

"Yes, mother I will eat." Melody gives her a small smile.
