Unwinding Fate

Chapter 27: Not so terrible

Jared raced through the house blindly to find his mate and daughter. He passed by everyone that was there in a blur as he burst into Olivia's bedroom. His eyes roamed wildly before they finally landed on them. He let out a visible sigh of relief and strode over to them, taking them into a huge bear hug.

"Hi-" Isabelle started but was cut off from the hug. He let her hug them for a while before she pushed him away and looked up at him. "What's wrong?" She could sense something was wrong, she just didn't know what.

Jared shook his head and kissed her forehead. "Nothing. You're here. You're safe. Everything is alright."

He sat down on the ground beside her in the rocking chair and rested his head on her knee. How could he let that rouge get to him? He was so stupid.

A hand came up to rest on his head and her fingers ran through his hair. He let out a content sigh and leaned into it.

"Sorry for a terrible birthday," he muttered.

Isabelle let out a small laugh and he looked up in confusion. She was shaking her head and when she noticed him, she explained, "it wasn't a terrible birthday. You at least tried and that's all that matters. Sure, we had to get back here fast, but otherwise, it was great!"

"You're amazing. You know that?" he asked her softly with a smile on his face.

Isabelle laughed, "you may have mentioned that before." She shifted Olivia in her arms for a more comfortable position as she slept.

Jared kissed her knee softly, "well, it's true." His hand slid up her leg very slowly, "you know, I believe it's time for something we haven't done in a long time."

The smile grew on her face before her eyebrows furrowed. "But what about Olivia?"

Jared was about to answer when Abby waddled in, looking like she hadn't been eavesdropping on them at all, and exclaimed, "never fear! Abby is here!" As if to prove it, she took Olivia from Isabelle's arm and said with a smug grin, "you guys go have fun. I'll watch Olivia here for awhile more and make Luke suffer from not getting any of this." She gestured to herself and winked with a giggle as Luke stormed in hearing the entire thing.

"Hey! You're no fair!" Luke cried and wrapped his arms around her body.

"Shh! Olivia's sleeping!" She nudged him in the gut carefully.

He winced. "Sorry," he whispered.

"You know, you can be really stupid sometimes," Abby told him with an eye roll. "It's Iz's birthday and she deserves to have some fun. She hasn't had that for awhile." A wink came toward her way and she knew exactly what Abby was talking about. "Now, you're going to be a good boy and be quiet or you're going to leave and not disturb Olivia at all. Got it?"

Luke grumbled but nodded, "alright honey. I got it." He kissed her sweetly and turned to them reluctantly. "Go."

It didn't take more for Jared after that and he swung Isabelle over his shoulder before she could blink and was already out the door saying, "I think it's time we make another baby."

Haha! Well, I've finally updated. I'll try to update more, but no promises. I've been swamped with school things, dance, family, and the fair this week. I went to two rodeo's! Yay! And I got blue ribbons for the drawings I put in. And yesterday I was at my aunts all day picking and shucking corn. I was so tired, had to wake up at five thirty for it. Anyways, it wasn't all bad, minus getting two truck loads of the evil stuff. Me and my cousin were throwing corn kernels at each other most of the day! Most entertaining thing that happened.

Anyways, what do ya think? I have a few ideas what should happen next I just don't know what one to do, so I'm stuck. What do you think should or will happen next? And should I start with the riddles again or leave them alone?
