Adrian POV.
“All doms are required to get to room B16” a voice called through the telecom in our rooms, I groaned and looked to the clock, it’s not even six yet. I sat up in bed and turned to Kaddy, she was deep asleep in her crib, last night she was convinced a monster would eat her once I set her in her crib. It took me forever to calm her down and explain there’s no monster and if there were I would eat it alive.
I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes feeling disoriented, I turned to my bedside and got my glasses, I can’t see without them. I left the bed and moved to the bathroom, washed my face and teeth before getting dressed for the day. The voice asked for simply the doms, it’s too early for pidge to wake up, not after yesterday’s events. I decided to let her sleep in and get to the extremely early meeting.
I wasn’t the only one who was disoriented, most of the doms hate waking up early, I saw Masha grumble in Russian, for once I was greatful I couldn’t understand her.
In the room B16 sat most of the daddy/mommy doms, it’s a meeting just for us, that should be interesting. The little program director was talking all about the great progress we were doing this year, and all about the potentials of us leaving soon with our littles. Masha took liberty of giving him a piece of her mind, he turned his full attention to her.
“Masha, I understand you claiming two littles?” He says disappointed, River bonded with her while Chase was in love.
“It’s not my fault I’m a great mommy” she answer him nonchalantly.
“Chase is a special case Masha, if you plan on playing with him, I’ll destroy you” the other guy says his dragon side showing, he’s a water dragon, a dominant and strong one.
“Talk about one of my littles again and I’ll pull your beating heart out of your chest and crush it in my cold hand” Masha says back, her dragon was also showing the white taking over her eyes making her look scary, you shouldn’t mess with her. Back at the military school, she made a tree cage one of the trainers for a full hour for insulting her.
The man who just got defeated by one of the student had to pull back, Chase is a special case, pulling him away from Masha would only end badly for them and the academy reputation.
“Back to our meeting, it’s apple season, the west side of the garden is full with apple trees, take your littles there today. Let them pick some, bond with them, encourage their dragons on coming out. Dismissed.” He says through gritted teeth, the whole Masha encounter helped end the meeting quickly.
“Next time just send us a message” Masha grumbles she’s in a real bad mood today.
“What’s wrong with you?” I ask her after making it out of the room.
“Jeez, Mash, you almost bite his head off” Rees adds.
“Chase isn’t doing much better, it’s killing me, sometimes I feel like I’ve seen glimpse of his dragon but it disappears as quick as it comes” Masha grumbles, no wonder she’s in a bad mood.
“Just keep doing whatever you’re doing, he looks better” I say encouraging, I can’t imagine Kaddy being sick, I’d die from worry.
I went back to my room to find Kaiden still sound asleep, I decide to pick her clothes for apple picking, I got a romper for her, I got busy on the phone waiting for her to wake up. The princess first sat up, yawning, her paci dropping out of her mouth, she rubbed her eyes looking around until her eyes fell on me, she smiled and raised both of her hands up wanting to be lift out.
“Good morning princess” I say, she yawns again and cuddle closer to my neck. She’s just precious, I took her to her changing table, taking off the dirty diaper and changing it for a new clean one, next I dressed her in the romper, finally I brushed her hair, braiding it back away from her face, I added her shoes and we were ready for apple picking.
Anna, Julius, and Levi provided us with basket, I still haven’t told the baby dragon what we are going to do, but she was just happy to carry the empty basket and skip ahead of me.
“You guessed what we’re picking?” I tease her once we made it to the apple trees, her eyes went wide, she jumped up and down happily.
“Apples! Daddy we gonna pick apples!” She says all proud of herself.
But then her smile dropped, she turned to me her lower lip trembling, her eyes watering.
“What’s wrong?” I ask her worried.
“I can’t reach the trees” she tells me.
“Then daddy have to lift you up” I answer her pulling her up on my shoulders.
