Catch Her By Her Scent novel Chapter 31

"Ok enough hassling Sophia, we need to decide what we want to do for dinner, because I don't think we want to eat coals tonight." Diana says and I give her a grateful look.

"We should go out and eat at McDonalds with the big playground!" one of the younger triplets says.

"How about we order pizza?" Jay says more than asks.

I give him a thankful look too since he knows I don't want to be in a car or surrounded by rambunctious children right now. As they order pizza I lean my head against Jays shoulder and daydream about what it would be like if my mom was still here. She would be happy to reunite with her old friend and proud of me finding my mate. I wish she could be here to experience all of it with

When the pizza finally arrives we set it at the huge dinner table. Each set of triplets sat on either side of the table, and their parents sat at the head of the table on one side. Jay sat on the end so I could sit beside him. He puts his hand in mine and I squeeze his hand to show that I'm alright.

Diana put seven large pizzas on the table and swatted all of her children's and husbands hands away and said, "Ladies first.", and gestured for me to get some pizza.

I reached for the box labeled canadian bacon and got four slices out. Jay looks at me with raised eyebrows and I just say to him, "Hey a girls gotta eat."

His mother and I both laugh at the look on all the boys faces as she gets some pizza too. It only took them a few minutes to realize that they could get some pizza after we had finished our first pieces of pizza. Their focus immediately went to the pizza and before the chaos started Jays mom quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me to the empty side of the table.

Just like that everything erupted into chaos. There was shouting, grabbing, eating, and maybe even a little punching, but who knows for sure. Finally everything seemed to clear out and all the pizza was gone, either eaten or on plates.

The guys looked so cute with their cheeks puffed out with pizza. Diana and I looked at each of the boys and then each other and burst into contagious giggles. When we settled down the boys hadn't taken any notice of us and continued eating.

When us girls finished all of our pizzas I was still a little hungry, after all I am a werewolf, and looked longingly at the empty pizza boxes. Diana must have noticed my look because she pulled me out of the dining room and led me into the kitchen. She reached into one of the cabinets and pulled out a full box of pizza. She opened it and took out some pizza for herself and then some for me.

I grinned at her and said, "Thank you Diana."

"Oh, I taught my boys to be a perfect gentlemen. I didn't raise them to be pigs or rude. Plus I have my ways in getting them to see things my way."

She looks at me while she was talking, but then turned to the boys with a mischievous look on her face. "Don't forget to clean your rooms after you do the dishes boys."

They all nod and say, "Yes Ma'am"

I look at the confounded and laugh a little. I turn to Diana and say, "Can you teach me to do that?"

She laughs and replies, "One day when I have time to share all my dirty parenting secrets I will tell you, and hopefully one day you will use them yourself and pass them on."
