Chapter 240

Chapter 0240 “Those boxes are clothes and blankets that she had picked out. I boxed them up for you to take if you want. You don’t have to but if you wanted to use them on your own child, you could. I left this blanket here just because that is how she had it but obviously, all the bedding and crib is yours. Everything in this room is yours.” Penny said, quietly.

I was so numb I wasn’t sure what to say. Kids was the furthest thing from my mind that I didn’t even think what I might want. However, I knew I didn’t not want the option.

“How about we take everything and we can put it in our storage and when we have kids, you can decide what you want?” Alec came up beside me and put his hand on my lower back.

“Okay.” I was thankful he stepped up and answered for me. I wasn’t sure what to think, say or even feel.

“My room was pretty much the same just blue.” Colt said as he walked to another room. I followed him but instead of flowers, he had a wolf or animal theme. Decals of a large wolf sat behind a wooden toy chest. His room was mainly blues, grays and blacks but the furniture was the same.

“There is a bathroom across the hall and a guest room at the end. That is the room I have been staying in.” Penny said.

I didn’t realize how late it had gotten when I heard Colt’s stomach growl. Penny looked at him and smirked as he put his arm around her. “Are you going to Florida to see what the key reveals?” Colt asked.

“Yeah, when things get figured out here we will.”

“Hopefully sooner than later.” Colt walked out of his old bedroom and down the hall. I followed him but stopped one last time in my room.

“Do you want me to carry theses down?” Alec asked.

“Yes, please.” Alec and Colt both grabbed a box and headed down stairs. There wasn’t anything on the dresser so I assumed Penny put all that in the boxes. Grabbing the blanket, I followed them down.

“Jacob, go get the other box.” Colt ordered as he walked out the front door.

“Do you want to stay for supper?” Penny asked as Jacob got off the couch and headed up stairs.

“Oh... ummm...” I wasn’t sure if I wanted to leave or not. Part of me was ready to run away. The other part wanted to never leave this place. However, I didn’t want to face everyone yet.

“Thank you but I think I just want to go home and watch a movie.”

Penny gave me a knowing look. “I understand. The door is always open to you. You don’t need an invite to come over. I am going to live here permanently and not in the packhouse. Your mother wanted to raise you both here so I decided to do the same our kids. I want any kids Colt and I have to have the childhood that your mother wanted for you.”

“Thank you.” Was all I could get out. I wish I could raise my kids here but maybe I could get Alec to build me a house for us to raise our kids and isn’t in the packhouse. I wasn’t a fan of the layout but I loved how it made me feel welcomed.

The guys walked back in. Alec looked at me, trying to read me. “Beckham is still trying to figure it out. You are welcome to stay for supper or however long you want to or I can call when he figured it out.” Colt stood right inside the doorway.

“Just call me when you hear something.” I said as I looked around one last time.

“Sure you don’t want to stay for supper?” Colt asked as he walked up to me.

“I’m sure. I want to get something ordered in and just lay on the couch watching a movie.” Colt nodded and gave me a hug.

“I love you, sis.” He whispered.

“Love you, too.” I whispered back. I felt his smile but he hid it when he let me go.

Walking out, Alec followed me to our car. Opening the door for me, I stopped and gave the house one last look. I knew I would be back but it will probably look different when I would. Finally, I got in the front seat and Alec shut the door. After he sl*pped in to his seat, he started the engine.
