Because You're Mine (COMPLETED)

Chapter 135: Kevin

Its just me, Mitch, and Addalin at the house right now.

Scott and Avi had an alpha thing to go to, and the girls all went out to get baby stuff with Kirstie and the kids. Mitch stayed home because he didn't feel good, and Addalin refused to leave his side.

I'm sitting at the kitchen table, reading through some paperwork that has no relevance to literally anything to do with the pack. I look up to see Mitch sitting on the couch and Addalin curled up against his stomach with her arms around his torso.

Adorable.

Mitch came back a few weeks ago. I have no idea how, but he did. One day, he was Hunter, and the next, he was back to being Mitch. He seems a little more tired than usual though. His wounds healed pretty well. He's gonna have scars, yes, but it'll be an awesome story to tell Addalin when she gets older; how her mother literally fought to keep her here.

I'm proud of him. He's come so far, and not just from recent events. When he first came here he was small and shy. Now, he'll sass you without a moments thought. He has so much more confidence in himself. You can see it in the way he walks around. His back straight and his walk confident.

He's also a fantastic mother. He loves Addalin and has proven more than once that he would do anything for her. He would die for her, if it meant she got to live. You could tell when he first got pregnant with her that he was horribly afraid of messing up, even after he had her. But now, here he is, confident in almost everything that involves her.

I look down at the paperwork, and because I've been staring at it for so long, everything is sort of jumbling together, so I go out to the living room and join Mitch and Addalin on the couch. He offers for me to hold her, but the moment he tries to pick her up from his stomach, she screams until he lets go.

"The hell?" He looks down at her. "What's the matter with you? Its just Kevin." He tries again and this time she tightens her little arms around him and hold onto his shirt. "Addalin-Lila. Let go so I can pick you up." She doesn't and whines like she didn't want to be moved at all. "Amanda." He uses her middle name with a firmness I've never heard him use before.

"Mitch its fine." I say.

"Its not even that. I need her to let go because I feel like I'm gonna throw up."

I look at him and I see he's pale. I get up and grab Addalin away from him. Once shes off he runs to the bathroom. I look at her and see shes pouting. I cradle her against me and she sniffles. "Its okay baby girl." She just whines.

I few minutes later Mitch cones back out. "You feel better?"

"Actually, yes." He smiles. Addalin leans forward, almost out of my arms until Mitch has her.

I watch as she shimmies down the best she can to hug Mitch's stomach. The position shes in, involves Mitch holding her practically on her side against him, and her body is bent at a weird angle that I'm sure is uncomfortable, but she protests when he tries to readjust her.

"What the hell?" Mitch looks down at her, then at me. "She's been like this all morning. I don't get it."

"Maybe she doesn't feel good."

"No, I felt her earlier, thinking the same thing. She feels fine. Maybe its because she knows I don't feel good."

"Probably." I shrug. But that doesn't make sense. Why would she be clinging to his stomach? I look at her and see her ear pressed against his stomach, like she was listening to something.

Weird.

We sit back on the couch, and despite her protest, Mitch moves Addalin so he can sit, and she goes back into the position she was in earlier: curled up against him with her arms around his middle.

"Do we have any popcorn?" Mitch asks about an hour later.

"Um, yes, but you don't like popcorn, I thought?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Not usually, no. But I just can't get it out of my head. Popcorn sounds amazing right now." He looks at me and smiles. "Can you make me some? Id do it myself, but my baby is literally attached to me." He nods down at Addalin, who hasn't moved.

Odd.

"Uh, sure. I'll be right back." I stand up and head into the kitchen and search for the popcorn. I find it and start making it. As it cooks, I think about Mitch.

Why is Addalin so clingy all the sudden? I mean, sure, shes already clingy, but this is bad. She doesn't want to be moved, and she seems weirdly interested in his stomach. The weird thing is, is that Mitch doesn't even smell sick. He smells fine, and that's what's confusing me.

I'm so lost in my thought that I jump when the timer goes off. I grab the popcorn and put it into a bowl.

"Can you also get me some juice?" I hear Mitch call from the living room

"Sure thing, bud." I reply. This gives the food a chance to cool down a bit so its not so hot. I grab the glass and get his juice and walk back out to the living room where I see him crying just a little bit. "You okay?" I ask, handing him the stuff and sitting back down.

He sniffles. "Mulan is on and "Reflection" started playing. Its such a beautiful song." A tear falls and he wipes it away. "Sorry." He chuckles. "Stupid thing to cry about."

"No no, you're fine." I look at him and then to Addalin.

I must have looked for to long because I hear mitch talk. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Somethings up, and I can't figure it out. The most interesting thing is her and why she won't let go, which is what confuses me the most."

"I don't get it either. She's never this clingy with any one except Kirstie."

Wait a minute...

Addalin got super clingy towards Kirstie when she got pregnant. When ever shes around her, Addalin is always hugging up on Kirstie's stomach.

And now shes doing it again.

To Mitch.

Uh-oh.

Time to run and hide from all my readers lol.

Love y'all
