Becca POV
Today is the day of Grey's birthday. Willow, Rowan and Indie have helped me fully transform the clubhouse into a little girl's fairy dream party! There's greenery everywhere, there are wings and flower crowns the all the kids, and even a few for the grown-ups if they want to wear any. There was a little table for the kids, a few little kids tents that looked like mushrooms in various sizes. There was a coloring/art station for the kids to play at. We had "pin the wings on the fairy", and a mushroom piñata. There was also a sensory station that had kinetic sand, busy boards (and DIY busy boards), headphones for the kids who don't deal with noise well. We tried to accommodate everyone who was coming, and make it fun for kids too. Next year we'll have to rent somewhere we can have some inflatables.
People started coming up to the clubhouse, a lot of friends from the hospital, a few moms from the mommy and me classes, and one from the mom group. The little girls who were coming in, looked around like they'd walked into a fairy forest, running for the clothing rack that had the wings and flower crowns waiting for them. The other moms complimented me on the planning. Bullet was carrying Grey around, introducing himself as 'Father of the fairy princess'.
I chuckled at him, with his chest all puffed out, Grey sitting happily in his arms, just cooing 'dada' every time someone came up to them. I walked over to them, the party time for starting having passed about twenty minutes ago, no one really coming in anymore. We were about to get started on a few games when the front door opened and in walked Ryan, Brynn, and Quinn. Brynn was holding Quinn's hand, walking behind Ryan. She had a slight limp, and Quinn was looking around like he was going to pass out with the number of men around him. I hurried over and welcomed them in.
"Brynn! Quinn! Ryan. So nice to see you all again! Thank you for coming!" I smiled at all of them, and you could tell Brynn's smile was force. Quinn was trying to disappear behind her. Ryan smiled his creepy ass smile at me. I pointed Brynn and Quinn in the direction of the ladies and other kids at the art station and I showed Ryan to the bar with the men. I walked with him as he stayed next to me. Trying to put his hand on my lower back. I took a big step forward, happy to introduce him to Leif and Hound.
"Ryan, these are Kai's brothers, Leif and Edwin," I motioned to the respectively, "He should be here soon."
"Becs! Grey is looking for you," Bullet came up behind me, kissing me on the cheek.
"Ryan." He stuck his hand out, waiting for Bullet to introduce himself, "Bullet," he smiled back taking Ryan's hand to shake, "Father of the fairy princess. I see you've met my girl, Becca."
"Thanks for letting me know," I gave him a squeeze of the hand, "I'll go check on our girl." Walking out as Kai walked in. He gave me a nod, and I hurried over to the ladies to meet with Brynn before the party gets underway. I had to hurry so we wouldn't rouse suspicions with Ryan. Though, we tried to keep most of the men by the bar, there were a few things that would be done in the main room where the bar is located. I looked around the other room, spotting Parker talking to Brynn and Quinn was working on a painting project with Willow and all the cousins.
"Hey guys. Did you?" Parker nodded.
"You guys really think you can help us get away?" Brynn asked, tears threatening to spill over.
"Don't cry. Keep it together. This is going to be the long game, okay? Can you, do it? I asked, needing her to know this wouldn't be a disappear in the middle of the night, kind of thing. She nodded. "Alright. Do you have a job?"
"No. He thinks I'll cheat, but he's been saying that we need more money, so he might let me get one, if we don't have to pay for child care."
"We have connections that we could get you in as a receptionist at the hospital, and they have a nursery there for employees. Our kids go there. If he asks how, you got the job, we were talking about how awesome it was to pay minimal amounts for child care, and having them right there at work with us. You asked, we mentioned the ER is hiring, and he can come visit whenever, because that's what Cameron, Grey's dad, does, okay? That's the story." She nodded.
