Hunter POV.
When Logan told me we’re going to be in charge of five littles along with our little girl, I called him insane, we are hardly keeping up with Angel, she’s so near slipping, we’re almost there, once she slips it’ll be perfect, we’d have our perfect life, the one we dreamt about, it’ll be the two of us and our little one.
He’s the one in charge, he’s the one in charge of the littles, it’s his department, I knew that our work sometimes demands things from us, and we’re not always too happy about giving up our nights, and our evenings, especially now that we have Angel, we had to drag her along.
“The list says that the little one drinks milk,” Logan says looking at the feeding list Evelyn left us, she leaves for the other babysitters, but the night shift is the one that most people try to avoid, littles are just children and accidents might happen during the night.
“Is it like formula? Cause there’s no milk in the fridge,” I answer Logan looking around.
“It just says milk,” he answered me and I groaned, it’s too late to order groceries now, and I couldn’t find any.
“I’ll go get the milk,” I say ready to run down and go get whatever we need.
“Wait, I need a couple more things,” Logan answers me, looking through the kitchen for anything else he might need.
“Okay, but you know Logan, there are always reports about daddies going out to get milk and not coming back, aren’t you worried I’d do that?” I tease my mate.
“I know you’re hooked,” Logan answers me still busy cutting vegetables.
“You got a great ass love, but I’m not that addicted to it,” I tease him again.
“It’s not my ass I’m talking about, something else got you wrapped around it’s tiny, and I mean tiny finger,” he says and my smile fell.
“I’ll be coming back for her, I’m taking her with me,” I say quickly, I’ll never leave my baby behind.
“You can’t take her from me,” Logan says in a cold voice.
“Logan, she hasn’t signed yet, we’re fighting for nothing, I’ll go get the milk,” I say ending the teasing match, we’re not fighting, we’re just playing.
“I love you, my dark detective,” Logan says, it’s his nickname for me, it has been since before we took over since the days we first started dating.
“Love you,” I say walking out toward the door, I stop and tell the littles that I’m going to get milk, they give me a look shaking their heads no, I leave the apartment and run to get milk.
I got in the elevator and saw Ryan in there, I forgot that he lived in here, I looked at him with a glare, I hate this guy, I want to kill this guy, but doing so would get me in troubles, he got in troubles for talking to blue, for touching a blue, but he’s still allowed to live in the same building at them, I growled at him, we might be vampires and not wolves but that doesn’t mean we don’t growl or go crazy protecting the ones we love.
“What you gonna do Black? Get me in troubles again? For what looking at you?” he asks me, he got in troubles the first time but it wasn’t near enough for me.
“I won’t tell them, this time I’d deal with you,” I answer him in a cold voice, I could do that all alone, I won’t be needing any help from anyone else.
“If you do that, they’ll take her away,” Ryan says with a sinister smile, if we get in troubles we might be deemed as unfit doms and we won’t be allowed to keep her any longer.
I had to shut up, I had to let this go, I bite on my lips and stayed quiet, I left the building and walked quickly to get the milk, my brain was working full speed, we need to get rid of Ryan, I’ll have to talk to Dylan again, maybe talk to William this time, I wasn’t sure who to talk to, but I need to deal with this.
I came back to the apartment with a fake smile on my face, I placed the milk in the firdge and helped Logan finish up cooking, plating the food for the girls, they all had little designated plates.
The girls ate their food except for one, I noticed that one of them wasn’t eating and even the little Angel was pointing at it, telling me to tell the girl to eat, and so I did, I asked her to eat, she took one more bite before stopping, I thought the night was near ending what else might happen, we’ll get them all to sleep and I’ll get to talk a bit with Logan about everything.
The peaceful sleep time was soon ruined, she was crying, our Angel was crying, and not just because she’s jealous, now she’s crying about her stuffy, the one we won for her back in the carnival, she was mostly attached to that one, and there’s other stuff that we didn’t bring here, we could use some of Evelyn stach, she got some clean new stuff that she can borrow, but the teddy bear, the one she likes the most, the one we assures her can stay in the bed until we’re back, that one we forgot back at the house.
“Fuck it, let’s go get it,” I growl with frustration, all the crying she did and she wasn’t even near calming down or going to sleep, I knew she could keep going the whole night, we better just going to get the stupid stuffy back.
“What about the sleeping girls, we can’t leave them alone,” Logan says meaning the five ohter girls in here.
“You stay, we’d drive home get it and be back,” I say carrying the crying child out of the apartment, she was still crying, Logan looked on the verge of crying as well, he didn’t want to let her go, but we need to get the stuffy to be able to get any kind of sleep tonight.
I went down to the car and I tried to strap her in the carseat, but she fought me, she didn’t want to sit down, and although I drove with her in my lap once, I couldn’t do it now, especially with her crying and screaming.
I had to use a bit of force but she was all set to go, I started the drive out of the building speeding out getting toward home, I tried to ignore the cries, but she kept on crying, I turned some calming music on but that didn’t work either, I told her that we’re going to get the stupid stuffy but the tears kept on falling.
I couldn’t wait for the drive to end, but it took a little while until we got home, and when she saw that we’re near home she started to calm down, she knew we’re almost here to get her stuffy.
“Let me just park, and then we’d run in and get it,” I assured her, stopping the car finally, I got out of the car and unstrapped her, once I got her out of the car she ran toward the house, I followed after her opening the door and holding her back by the back of her collar, I didn’t want risking her falling on the stairs, I picked her up and carried her upstairs instead, going toward our bedroom, I then let her go and she ran to get Mr. Vixy, now that the stuffy was safe in her arms I knew the night was saved, all that’s left is to bring her back.
“How about we pack a bag?” I suggest going toward the nursery to get her a bag, it’s a diaper bag but all she needs to know about it was that it’s a bag meant for her.
“Okay, I help?” she asks and I nod, she should put all of her important stuff, well important to her so we won’t be running like this again.
She placed her special pacie in the bag, along with her new blanket, not letting go of Mr Vixy who’s definetly coming along with us, I placed some of her clothes in the bag and made another bag to put some clothes for me and my mate as well.
Once we were done, I picked her up, she was holding the damn fox along with a pacifier in her mouth, she must have placed that while putting her things, she laid her head on my shoulder as I left the house, closing the door behind me, and finally getting her in her seat, I hoped she’d fall asleep during the ride home.
I put on the music again and this time the ride was much calmer, with her sleeping in the back the smooth music calming me down as well, I picked my phone and took a selfie on the next red light, sending it to Logan and going back to driving.
We were back at the building in twenty minutes, double the time it took us to get over here, I gave her one last look and saw that she was deep asleep, I sighed in relief. I got out of the car, got the two bags and then carried her and the fox, we don’t want to lose that fox not ever again.
I got in the elevator and was just glad to be back home, the day was finally over and I got to rest, I couldn’t wait to get in bed, I was exhausted, and my day was a tiring one as well.
I opened the door of Evelyn’s place, ready to collapse on the sofa, her bed, the guest bedroom, anywhere, as long as I got to rest but I was met with a very panicky Logan.
“We lost a little! Ilyssa isn’t in her bed,” he whispered yell.
“Fuck,” I groan, there goes my rest and sleeping tonight.
