Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 7

"Lets take her home, Peter. She's tired," Lucy says.

Peter nods and gingerly lifts Allie, trying not to wake her. It doesn't work.

"Daddy?" Allie asks softly, rubbing her eyes with her little hands. "Daddy where's Kaden?"

"I'm right here, baby," I answer before Peter can.

Her head jerks up and she jumps back in my lap, hugging me tightly. I squeeze her back and kiss her head.

"Come on, Allie," Lucy says. "We need to get home,"

Allie whimpers. "I wanna stay with Kaden,"

"Not today, sweetheart," Peter says.

"Please, Daddy?" Allie begs, looking at him with wide blue eyes.

He sighs and shakes his head. "Not today. But we'll Come back so you can see him tomorrow, okay?"

Allie perks up and nods eagerly. "Yeah!"

She turns back to me and hugs me once more, using all the strength She can in her little body.

"Bye, Kaden," she gurgels. "I wuv you,"

I laugh at the sound of her still baby-sounding L.

I kiss her head once more and lean down to whisper in her ear. "I love you more, baby girl," More than you will ever know.

"Alpha?" a voice hesitantly asks from behind my door.

"Come in," I called.

The door opened to reveal my Delta, Jack, walking in with a stack of papers. Right behind him is my beta, John.

"What is it?" I ask, thinking I already know.

"Its the rogues again, Kaden," John says. "Jack and I thought you'd want to see the statistics of how many we've lost,"

I grab the papers from their hands. "Thanks guys. I'll look them over and get back to you and discuss,"

Jack nods. "Just call us whenever,"

John nods and then seems to remember something; he fights to stifle his laugh.

"What is it, John?" I ask.

He lets his laughter fall loose as the sound rumbles through my small office. "We didn't come in here just to give you these," he admits.

"Well what else are you here for?" I snarl.

"Our Luna is here to see you," John says, his voice almost mocking.

"Did you not get any cookies?" I ask, wrapping my arms around her tighter.

She shakes her tiny head. "No. Daddy ate awl of 'dem,"

"We should go and get her her own cookies. She wants them," my wolf insists.

I agree with him.

"Baby?"

"What?" Allie responds, answering me but not lifting her head from where it's rested against my chest.

"You want your own cookies?"

She tenses in my arms before standing straight up in my lap, grinning from ear to ear.

"Yeah! I do, I do!" she says, clapping her hands.

"Okay, come on," I lift her into my arms agian, and carry her down the steps of the pack house into the kitchen. My mom is standing by the stove.

"Mom?" I ask.

She turns to me. "Kaden! What is it?" she asks, a concerned glare in her eye. "Is Allie all right?"

I glance down towards my mate who has hidden her face into the crook if my neck. She's shaking slightly.
