Chapter Thirty-Three
Delicious & Vicious
Bowie: Did I overhear right, Frey is adopting a baby with Booker?
Monty: Overhear? Yep. She’s so cute.
Bowie: Who is she? Yeah, someone was talking about Booker.
Lennon: The baby, Emmy. Isn’t that the cutest name? Frey picked it and it really suits her. Those deep green eyes of hers. She looks like an old soul when she stares at you. And don’t pull that one Bowie, we all know you’re in New York with Kari, so it has to be him you overheard.
Bowie: It is, but I’m lost. How did they go on a work trip and find a baby girl?
Hollis: I’m not sure this is the appropriate place to discuss this.
Frey: It’s fine Hollis. I helped an omega, Toby, give birth to his daughter. He died after the birth.
Bowie: Oh no, how awful!
Frey: It’s so sad, we had the funeral for him yesterday. All the other omegas from the factory came. They are all like a family. Like us.
Bowie: Doesn’t the little girl have a family… a daddy?
Frey: They’ve found no one, or no one who wants her. And they can’t figure out who her daddy is… so me and Booker, we’ve signed the adoption paperwork this afternoon. She’s ours now.
Lennon: Does that mean that you and Booker… are a couple? I know he got real protective over you when he thought we’d upset you. But isn’t this all a bit quick, if you don’t mind me saying?
Frey: Confession time, we’ve kind of been dating for a little while. You know, figuring stuff out. But this… we both wanted.
Bowie: Wow, that’s news. Only what happens to Emmy if you don’t stay together? Figure it out? Who will get that little girl?
Frey: She’s mine! I was the first person she saw when she came into this world. I won’t ever let her go. The paperwork we signed says she’s mine.
Monty: Good for you Frey. She deserves someone like you in her corner after how her life started. Toby… he asked you for help and you’re giving it to his daughter, that counts.
Frey: Thank you. That’s not my biggest worry anyway, to be honest. It’s moving into Booker’s parents' home with all the other alphas. What was I thinking when I said yes?
Isley: You weren’t ‘cause how would anyone agree to do that? Eight alphas all in one place!
Hollis: Taylin lives with me, so that’s seven.
Lennon: No Isley was right, eight, with Derick Starling.
Hollis: Oh heck yes, I forgot about him.
Monty: I don’t know how. A silver fox like that, who could ever forget him?
Hollis: Lane can see the chat Monty!
Monty: Oops… it was a compliment, Lane.
Lane: He is a silver fox and hot in the sack. Frey, you’ll be fine, just be you and they’ll all fall in line.
Hollis: Please… nooooo he’s going to be my father-in-law, Lane.
Lane: That doesn’t change anything, he is hot and great in the sack. LOLOLOLOLOL
Hollis: Noooooooooooo
Frey: Let’s hope so, or else you might feel like you’ve come back to work when they all start bickering.
Lane: I can handle those boys, don’t you worry. The reason I popped in as I have a family meeting planned tomorrow night and I would like you all to come. I’d like to create a rota to assist Frey and Booker with Emmy, if you’re interested?
Frey: Oh Lane, you’re making me cry.
Bowie: Hormones… can you get that from adopting a baby?
Lane: Absolutely.
