"MOMMY WAKE UP!" Timmy yelled as he jumped up and down on bed. I groaned and grabbed his waist and pulled him down with me. Timmy giggles and tries to pull away.

"Lay with mommy." I pulled him to my chest. Timmy giggled some more.

"Mommy get up. Daddy wants to talk to you." I groan again and let him go.

"Okay. Tell daddy I'll be down in a little bit okay?" Timmy nodded and ran out of the room. I chuckled and shook my head. I pushed myself out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I then brushed my hair and pulled it into a ponytail. When I was done, I went into the closet and put on some black leggings and an oversized Nike hoodie. Looking around, I found my Birkenstocks and put them on.

Making my way to Xavier's office. He was setting behind his desk pulling at his hair. "Hey what's going on?" I asked him sitting on the couch in his office.

"It's your old pack." I tensed up.

"What about them?" I whispered.

"They are asking for help. They have been having some trouble with rogues and they need our help." Xavier grumbled. He put his head in his hands. I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around his shoulders. Xavier grabbed my hand and pulled down onto his lap. I blushed. Xavier chuckled.

"When do they come?" I asked.

"Wait, you're okay with it? What if they see your baby bump?" Xavier said putting his hand on my growing belly.

"They need help and I still have people that I love and care for there. I would feel really bad if we didn't do anything all because of their selfish Alpha." I said. Xavier smiled at me.

"Your right." I smiled back at him.

"Hey breakfast is ready." I smiled at Cassie and thanked her. When she left, I turned to look at Xavier again. He was already staring at me.

"Also to answer your previous question, they aren't coming here. We are going over there. We will see them tomorrow afternoon."

"Tomorrow?!" I yelled. I jumped off of Xavier. I shook my head furiously. This is way too soon. Xavier wrapped his arms around my waist. "This is sooner than I thought."

"I know I'm sorry. I just got the call earlier this morning and they need us to come right away. I called you in as soon as I ended the call. I promise I won't let your ex-mate hurt you or come near you. I will protect you, the baby, and Timmy." I nodded and turned to hug him.

"Thank you."

Xavier and I went downstairs to eat breakfast after our talk. Everyone was in there eating waffles. When we walked in, all of our friends were staring at me with worried eyes. I smiled at them to let them know that I'm okay.

"Mommy!" Timmy yelled and ran up to me and hugged my leg. I laughed when I saw his face. It had Nutella all over it. Literally allllll over it.

"I'm guessing breakfast was yummy?" Timmy nodded his head viciously.

"There is some on the counter for you guys." London said. I smiled at him and went to go serve myself some. I sat down next to Cassie.

"How do you feel about going to your old pack tomorrow?" Sam asked me. I shrugged.

"I still have people I love and care for there. They shouldn't have to suffer because my mate rejected me." I said. Everyone nodded.

"Are you bringing Timmy with you?" Cassie asked, glancing at Timmy who was playing with his cars on the floor.

"I have too. He's my son now."

"What will you tell your parents?" Sam asked.

"The truth." I shrugged. "Guys I'm not ashamed of Timmy and I don't care about what people think of me. He's my son and I love him with all my heart. Even if he doesn't have my blood in him." I said.

"We know you're not ashamed of him snowflake. We weren't saying you were. I'm just worried about how your mate is going to react. Just because he rejected you, you guys still have a bond and he is bound to react badly." London said.

"Yeah I guess you're right about that. But I won't let him hurt Timmy. But I also can't leave him here."

"We won't let anyone hurt you or Timmy." Javier said. I smiled at him.

"Thanks guys for being worried about Timmy." Everyone smiled at me. Changing the subject talked and laughed. Looking around me, I couldn't be more grateful for my small new family.

After breakfast, I found myself in Timmy's room packing for our trip. Timmy was laying on his bed watching paw patrol again. "Mommy where are we gwoing? Is daddy coming with us?"

"We're going to see your grandma and grandpa. Yes baby, daddy is coming with us." I said. I zipped up his suitcase full of clothes to last him two weeks. I then went into his bathroom and packed his toiletries.

"Gwandma and Gwandpa? Your mommy and daddy?" I nodded.

"Yes and they are going to love you oh so much!" I said and tickled his little feet. He squealed and kicked my hands away. "Okay now bedtime. I will wake you up when we have to leave okay?" Timmy nodded. I tucked him in and read him a bedtime story until he fell asleep.

Slowly closing the door behind me, I made my way to my room. I sat down in my bed and stared at the only picture that I have of my family that took. I missed them so much. But I am not ready to face Axel. I sigh. I have too.

Getting up I pull out a suitcase. I pack everything that I need to pack to last me two weeks. I mainly packed leggings and a couple of sweaters and oversized shirts. I did pack like three jeans and regular t-shirts though. Maybe these will help me hide my belly for the two weeks that we are there.

"Hey can I come in?" I heard Xavier's voice from behind the door.

"Yeah come in." I answered as I packed a dress just in case. He walked in slowly.

"We leave around four in the morning so we can get there at one." I nodded. My hands began to shake uncontrollably. Xavier came closer and grabbed my hands. He kissed them softly.

"It's going to be okay. I promise." I nodded and leaned my head against his chest.

"Can you stay with me tonight?" Xavier would sometimes stay with me to help me keep the pain of him sleeping around.

"Of course. Let me just go get my stuff." I nodded. I finished everything that I needed to do and set the alarm for four. Xavier walked back into my room with his suitcase and his pillow. I went into my bathroom and hopped in.

Taking my all natural coconut shampoo, I massage it into my hair. I scrubbed it all in until I was sure my hair was clean. Then I washed my body and shaved. When I was done, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me.

Quietly I moisturize and change into my pajamas. Brushing my teeth and hair, it finally dawned on me that I am going to see my family again. A small smile ran across my face. I have missed them so much.

Stepping back into my room, I found Xavier already in my bed shirtless. I quickly let myself check him out before I crawled into bed next to him. Don't judge I'm a girl and I still know what eye candy is. I lay my head on his chest. Xavier wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him.

"It's going to be okay." I nodded.

"I know. You will be by my side. That's how I know it will be okay." I glanced up at Xavier. He smiled down at me and kissed my forehead. I glanced at the clock and saw that it read 12:45.

"We should go to bed. We have to get up early." Xavier whispered. I yawned and agreed with him. I heard Xavier start to snore after a few minutes. I was laying in his arms wide awake. My stomach was turning at the idea of seeing him again. Slowly darkness took over and I drifted into a dark sleep.

"Alena it's time to get up." I heard the faint sound of an alarm going off and Xavier's voice in my ear. I slowly opened my eyes. Xavier was standing before me in a towel. My mouth watered slightly. No get your act together Alena. I nodded slowly and got out of bed. I rushed into the bathroom and took a quick shower.

When I got out, I dried myself off and wrapped a clean towel around my body. I walked out into my room to find Xavier gone. He probably went to go get Timmy. I walked into my closet and looked for what to wear. We are going to be in a car for 10 hours at the most. But if Sam is driving we will be in the car for five.

Deciding to go comfortable, I put on some Aerie Inside Out Dreamy Softy Joggers and a Glitter Tee Cropped Top. To top it all off I put on my black and white converse. As for my hair I brushed it out and put it up in a ponytail. Spraying some of my vanilla scented perfume, I decided I was done.

Going back into my room, I found little Timmy on my bed. I smiled at his little outfit. He was wearing black joggers, a button down shirt, and a cute beanie. He was laying in my bed looking drowsy. My sweet little boy.

"Mommy why we up so early?" Timmy's sleepy voice called out. I walked over to him and smoothed his hair out of his face.

"Remember how we are going to go see grandma and grandpa?" Timmy nodded. "Will they live really far away? So we have to wake up early so we can get to their house right on time. Otherwise they would be really sad that we were late." Timmy looked at me with his big brown eyes.

"Otay." I smiled and kissed his forehead.

"It's time to go." Xavier said and walked back into my room. I nodded and grabbed Timmy's suitcase and my own. Along with my purse and some toys for Timmy.

Xavier took the suitcases out of my hands and walked them down the stairs with ease. I picked up Timmy and followed Xavier. "Are you sure you want to come?" Xavier asked just as we reached the last step.

"Yes. I want to see my family again and apologize for running away like I did." Xavier nodded. "I don't want to see him again. But it was bound to happen one day. Sooner or later." Xavier smiled at me.

"You're so strong." I smiled back at him. Xavier put our stuff inside his SUV before he came and took a sleeping Timmy out of my arms. He slowly put Timmy inside his car seat and buckled him up. I climbed into the passenger seat and looked behind me. Cassie and Javier were also fast asleep in the back seats.

"Where is London and Sam?" I asked Xavier when he got in the car.

"They are taking another SUV just in case you wanna come back early." I smiled at him.

"Thank you for worrying about me, but I'll be okay." He nods and takes my hand in his. He put the SUV in drive and pulled out of the driveway. Here we go.
