[knocks on their bedroom door in the middle of the night]

mapa? dad?

- London

[they get up and open the door]

you wanna come cuddle, sweet pea?

[nods, holding up her arms]

yes please.

c’mon, honey.

[they scoop her up and carry her back to bed, gently plopping her down beside sam and climbing back in]

[she immediately clings to their side while still also trying to be as close as she can to Sam]

did i wake you up?

nah, i couldn’t sleep. you didn’t wake me up.

[they wrap an arm around sam and squish london between them, making sure not to hurt her]

why couldn’t you sleep?

[she visibly relaxes]

i was thinking about some stuff from today. my brain didn’t want to be quiet.

are you okay?

yeah, honey, i’m alright. i’ve got all y’all here with me, after all. everyone important to me is safe.

then you need to shush your brain so you can sleep. cause you gotta sleep

i wish it was that easy to make my brain quiet. it’s hard to make the thoughts go away.

yeah, sometimes thoughts are a little tricky when your brain is super loud. do you wanna go run?

i shouldn’t. i don’t want your dad to wake up without me here. thank you, though, honeybee.

we could leave him a note…

… do you wanna run, honey?

um…

do you?

… sure. i’d enjoy going for a run with you.

but what about dad? he’d wake up alone maybe.

like you said, we can leave him a note. if a run helps you feel better, i want to do it.

Look, i ain't sure of this but, BUT

i don't recall david putting seasonings in his cooking audio

So, David Shaw, alpha, Big bad wolf, what's your excuse to this white ass behavior?

milo-greer

Actually he's one of those white women on tiktok that make cursed ass shit by adding a bunch of cheese, pasta and god knows what else into one pan. He then proceeds to undercook it and call it "good homemade food" no tf it isn't, you're just delusional

will u watch twilight and bully all of the characters with me pls

i’ve never seen that.

i’ll agree to this, but only if we watch it on a very wrinkly projector screen.

….would you adopt me, yes or no

seeing as i already have so many, and i literally don’t know you, hard pass. you might have more luck with one of the other wolves, though.

davey snores in his sleep.

he sounds like a semi truck.

i love him so much

don’t tell him i said any of this

p0pp3t

is it more like a lawnmower when he’s extra tired or like a motorcycle

uhmmm… if he’s just had a long day, lawnmower. If the long day involved Asher and Christian arguing then it’s a motorcycle.

okay but like, motorcycle as in like a honda nc700x, or like The Amalgamation?

I-

uhm..

I dont know… The Amalgamation’s loud. But I don’t think Davey is that loud…

Somewhere in between? I guess.

i see, thank you alpha mini. this information will not be used for irresponsible reasons in any way.

as long as it doesn’t harm you or others..i’m down for you using it. be as irresponsible as you want just in moderation.

good to know.

and in my defense, i have been much better about limiting my irresponsibility recently than i was in the past. i haven’t even broken a bone yet this year.

i’m proud of you, honestly.

it’s good for the plot tbh

i’ve peaked. alpha mini is proud of me, there is no higher goal i can achieve

Always, Tank, im always proud of you.

i, uh…

thanks

welcome!!

we should really hang out soon. with no kids..and probably adult drinks.. maybe by the pool? or we could cause chaos..

alcohol and chaos sound amazing, honestly. and i’m always down for chaos, as long as no one gets arrested. david might actually murder me if i contributed to anything that got you arrested…

ugh, he acts like i haven’t gotten arrested before.

in all fairness, no matter how many times any of us gets arrested, he still gets all grumbly and shouty about it when he has to pick us up from holding. and he worries a lot about you, so i can see why he freaks out.

he does tend to go overboard, though

i’m just thankful that I didn’t know him when I got arrested.

he does worry, and i’m so grateful for that, but i’m pretty sure he’s almost to the point of wrapping me in bubble wrap.

oh, you don’t have to worry about that. ash and i have some pretty good tricks to keep him from suiting you up in packing foam armor before you leave the house. we have you covered. he’s just… protective. i don’t have to tell you, that, though. you see it every day.

what…what are these tricks?

distraction, some misdirection, some reverse psychology, and plenty of reminders that you are more than capable of handling yourself. plus, it’s easy to make your shenanigans look less dangerous when other members of his pack are doing stupid shit too.

that makes so much sense. can you guys convince him that going to an abandoned water park isn’t a bad idea?

… i’m not sure about that, but we can always go with the whole “ask forgiveness, not permission” approach

yeah, that’s what i normally go with and it’s worked out so far!

he seems to find it very hard to stay mad at you. i gotta give you props for that, it isn’t something that’s easy to achieve.

normally i just flirt my way out of anything when he’s mad. that usually will fix anything by making him flustered and then he stomps away.

ha! who knew all we needed to get one over on alpha mcgrumpy was to find him a cute flirty human to knock him off his rhythm?

in all seriousness, though, you really have helped him loosen up a lot. he’s much more… himself, now, thanks to you.

i- uh..

you’re welcome?

i’d do anything for him. you guys all know that.

we do, and we all appreciate that. he deserves someone who cares so deeply about him, even if he didn’t think so himself a couple years back.

i’m glad i could help bring him back. i think he’s always been the same grump. that much has only changed a little since when we first started dating. but his laugh and his smile, ugh tank, i could sit here and talk about him for hours.

it wouldn’t be much different from the hours he’s spent talking about you to anyone who’ll listen. i don’t mind you talking about him. it makes me happy to know he’s got a mate like you.

he’s done that? asher has mentioned it but i thought he was joking.

you kidding? he loves talking about you. once he talked to me for exactly forty-eight minutes about how he thinks your smile alone could bring about world peace. i literally timed it.

World peace?!

ha!

I highly doubt my smile could bring world peace. Although I bet his smile could bring world peace..or maybe his laugh. Cause when he laughs he gets those cute little wrinkles by his eyes and he kinda put his head down in a way. but you can still see the pure joy on his face. ugh his face… ugh just him in general.

i’m completely convinced that some fuckin’ cherub or god of love or something saw the two of you and thought to themself “wow, what if i took two of the sappiest people ever and got them to fall in love,” and that’s how you two met. he talks about you just like that.

i keep telling him that fate or something brought us together and he starts doing his grumpy mumble.

i don’t know what brought us together but i’m glad whatever did. i can’t even begin to explain how much love i hold for him. i don’t know how i survived life without him before i met him.

it’s funny. a couple years ago, i probably would have teased you for saying something like that, but nowadays, i get what you mean. it’s like a hole in your life is filled now, and you can’t imagine him not being there. that’s what it’s like for me, anyway.

that’s exactly the feeling.

how are you and sam doing? how are the kids?

we’re, uh… making it, i guess. the entire situation going on sucks, but we’re almost out the other side.

the kids are doing alright, all things considered. london is a bit shaken, but we’re making sure she feels loved and supported.

Making it is better than nothing, i suppose. how do you feel about everything? anything david or myself can do to help?

i bet she is, hell, i would be shaken up. i can’t imagine being that young and having to deal with all of this. i don’t think i could manage it now.

i dunno if there are enough words for how i feel, but it’s getting better. it helps that sam and i have each other through all this. you and david have both already done a lot for us. we’re grateful for that, but you don’t gotta do more than what you already are.

she’s tough, but she’s already been through so much. at this point, all we can really do is make sure she knows that she can talk to us about anything, and be there for her as much as she’ll let us.
