A Wolf's Tale

22

"Kendall had the baby and is in the hospital, I am going to visit her. Please just rest and keep warm, I won't be gone long. When I get back I will take care of Kooper and Sabrina."

"Kendall had the baby? Oh babe that's great, congratulations! I don't think it's a good time to talk to her, look at what just happened. Look at what happened to you."

"She's right, you have been running nonstop and we just lost two of our friends."

"If I don't leave now, I will go insane and either punch the wall or drink myself to death. I will be back soon, I promise."

With that being the last thing said and the tensions already becoming alarmingly high, I walk out of the house and refrain from slamming the door behind me.

I stand next to my bike for a minute and look down at the handles.

Can nothing good ever happen to us? Kyle and Kylie finally get married and go on their honeymoon, everything goes to hell. Ashley shows up and threatens to murder the pack. Not to mention Kooper broke his arm before that.

Then I find out I have a son, finally a good thing in my life aside from being with Sierra, and fucking Ashley almost slaughters my entire family while I'm at the hospital.

I thought I could handle taking care of the pack without Kyle. I thought everything would be okay. But instead, one of my best friends is dead and one of Kendall's best friends is dead too.

Kendall is going to be devastated. Kyle is going to be devastated. It's bad enough I have to explain what happened to Kendall, but I have to explain it to Kyle and Kylie too. I don't know that I can do this three times.

Go talk to Kendall first. Kyle and Kylie should be back in a day or two so that gives you time to process this. You can figure out how you are going to tell them but if you are worried about explaining it three times, wait until they are together so you can say it to both of them. Don't spring it on them either, ask about the honeymoon and then ease into it. They are going to be happy that they are home.

That sounds like a great plan, do you have any advice on how I should avoid punching something or getting alcohol poisoning?

Go see Kayden. He will help you realize that things aren't always bad in your life. Hold Kendall a little tighter, after all, she did have your child and let you be there when he was born. After that, hold Sierra a little tighter because she died today and you brought her back.

I hop on my motorcycle and rev up the engine before taking off down the street. The cool air stings like a thousand needles across my exposed face. I forgot my helmet, oh well.

After a long drive to the hospital, I finally find a decent spot in the parking garage and make it to the automatic main doors. I head straight for the sign in desk and sign myself in to see Kendall. The security guard blows a bubble in her lime green tinted bubble gum before putting a visitors bracelet on my wrist.

I quickly walk to the gift shop and scan through all of the newborn stuff to find nothing that would even remotely look good on Kayden. I could find better baby clothes at the dollar store. However, I buy Kendall a bouquet of pink roses and continue my search for Kendall's room.

As I search for her room, I hear a few nurses exchange words as I pass them at the nurses station.

"So what are you doing after your shift, are you going to hang out with that guy you like, what's his name? Kooper?"

"Kooper Brown and yes, I'm supposed to meet the rest of his friends tonight. He is so sweet and funny, you have to meet him. He hasn't called me back yet, I'm sure he will soon." Kara replies, looking down at her shoes with furrowed brows.
