Zachary smirked, glancing at Benlyam. “Yes, I did. She’s packing right now. She’s from a pack in Missouri and she has to move her stuff.”
I politely nodded and looked back to Scott, Lana was reaching for his fingers, babbling. Oh my- I love her so much.
“So, like, am I going to hold my nephew or…” Zachary sarcastically asked Benlyam, he glared.
“You’re annoying the shit out of me, so no, you’re not touching my kids.” I frowned at Benlyam. Zachary chuckled.
I heard Lana giggle as Scott did tickling motions on her stomach. Layton started to move and kick Benlyam’s arm, he repositioned him, he was still fussing.
“Is he good?” Zachary asked as Layton reached for Benlyam. He immediately grabbed onto his hand and Layton quieted down.
“He’s fine, just the loud one,” Benlyam rubbed his hand and he calmed down.
“Loud one?” Zachary mused and I nodded.
“Yeah, yesterday we took them to get their shots,” I told him, I saw Benlyam crack a smile, “Lana was pretty c-cool about it, she didn’t cry or fuss. Layton hated it, cried the whole time.”
Scott chuckled, looking up at us. “Sounds just like you, Lee.”
“Totally,” Benlyam responded, amused. Lana started to cry when Scott stopped playing with her stomach. He frowned and immediately gave her attention, she smiled.
Layton started to fuss again and Benlyam hoisted him up. “Is he trying to speak?” Zachary asked as Lana cooed to Scott.
I furrowed my brows at him. “He keeps opening and closing his mouth,” Zachary shrugged and I looked back at Layton. He was smacking his baby lips as he held onto Benlyam’s finger.
“Oh,” I reached out to him and Benlyam carefully placed him in my arms, “he’s just hungry. I’ll take Lana as well,” Benlyam shook his head and took her from Scott instead. She cried out and Benlyam was quick to soothe her.
“You feed them at the same time?” Zachary asked.
I nodded, “trying to get them to sync schedules.”
Zachary nodded.
“We’re going back to the house, I’m sure someone dropped off your bags, they’ll be in your room. You can do whatever in the meantime, don’t cause problems,” Benlyam gave a pointed look to Zachary, “dinner is around seven.” He shrugged and they nodded, we left.
Layton kept moving his face against my covered breasts and I kept moving him, I couldn’t breastfeed him right now. His face contorted into a grimace as he started to cry, I frowned, trying to soothe him, but he just wanted to be fed.
Benlyam had one arm wrapped around my shoulders as Lana looked up at him, often laughing when she recognized him. So precious…
“Look, he gets that from me,” I looked up at him confused, “both love your boob-”
I gasped at him. “Lyam!” He laughed as we walked up the steps to the house and he opened the door for me.
“Just saying, honey,” he smiled at me, kissing my forehead as a blush formed on my cheeks. “We both-”
“Shush! You’re going to give them bad habits!” I playfully glared at him and he laughed as we walked into our room,
“Of course I will,” he smirked at me. “That’s why they’re so fat,” my mouth dropped at him and his face lit up, “they’re always feeding. Stealing my time,” he sarcastically shook his head.
“They aren’t fat!” I defended as I sat in one of the rocking chairs we brought into our room. I gave him a look and he carefully placed Lana in my arms as Layton let out short low cries.
I situated them as Benlyam went to sit across from me, “and they aren’t stealing ‘your time’,” I reminded.
“Oh right, I forgot,” he started, amused, “they’re ‘off-limits.’ I forgot.” he winked and I rolled my eyes.
I didn’t like breastfeeding in front of him, but we got used to it. I still wasn’t comfortable with him touching my breasts yet, I was nursing and it just felt weird. I’m sure it will go away with time, it wasn’t that big of a deal.
Layton immediately latched on, Lana did as well, staring up at me with her big brown eyes that I adored. Benlyam noticed I didn’t have water nearby and excused himself to get me some.
It took him a while to come back, he opened the door and I raised an eyebrow. He shot me an apologetic smile.
“Sorry, Flower, Montana called about the Rocky’s issue,” he rolled his eyes, “I fucking took care of it four months ago. I also sent a quick message to Garret.” I nodded and he put the water on the window, he pressed a small kiss to my forehead.
Lana eyed him with interest. She pulled back from my nipple, some milk leaking from her lips until she swallowed. I felt my cheeks heat up as she reached up to Benlyam, waiting for him to get her.
He chuckled and carefully held her up as I fixed myself. She cooed as he cradled her, sitting down in the free chair. I smiled at them and then looked back down at Layton, he was slowing down, relaxing his small body.
“And you said she didn’t like you,” I shook my head and Benlyam smiled at me, glancing down at Lana who was staring out of the window, mindlessly. She just liked being held, who wouldn’t?
“Because she didn’t. I think I’m in the clear with her now, much like you,” he rubbed her back as she started to flutter her eyelashes. She was so tiny in his embrace.
“Your brother liked her.”
He nodded, “Scott likes kids, used to help out our grandma with children when my parents had issues.”
I titled my head as I grabbed the water, taking a sip. “Zachary didn’t seem too interested, does he not like pups?”
Benlyam rolled his eyes. “No, he’s pissy. He doesn’t have a problem with children, I think being away from his mate, and still peeved at me, mixed together.”
“Oh.”
