Chapter 116-3
I think Mino would like to show his aunty without her mate,” Becky pointed out.
“But…” Finlay objected.
“You go and get things ready for the drive home. I’ll just spend a lite extra time with Mino,” I told him.
“But I’m your mate,” Finlay told me and sounded like he was sulking
“No one doubts that. I would just like a little more time with him before we need to say goodbye.” Finlay glared back at the toddler.
“Fine,” he agreed, and then he kissed me and looked at Mino with a aised eyebrow before leaving.
“Honestly,” I said to Becky, who was dissolving into laughter. Mino Happily led me over to where Becky had put down his toys that had kept him busy most of the day. He tugged on my hand and I got the hint. Both Becky and I sat down on the floor. Mino took out a story book and handed it to me as he crawled up on my lap again
“Oh my. He has taken a liking to you,” Becky told me.
“You are a sweet boy,” I told Mino and placed a kiss on his hair. “He reminds me of his dad. He was always sweet as well.” I opened the book and started reading. After a while, Mino fell asleep and I stopped reading and Becky and I sat and talked instead. My mom sat down on a couch nearby and joined in. It didn’t take long for Finlay and Elder to come walking. “It’s time?” I asked.
“It is. I will take my son back now before he decides to go back with you,” Elder told me and reached down and took Mino from my lap. Finlay helped me up from the floor.
“I really appreciate you bringing him along. It has been such a treat to spend time with him,” I told his parents. They both smiled
back at me.
“We were happy to. He is starting to get to the age where he can join in our calls. It will be good for him to have met you,” Becky said. I gave her a hug and then I gave my brother and nephew a hug and placed a kiss on Mino’s hair. Finlay put his arm around me.
“Feel free to come for a visit anytime you feel like it,” he told them. We will look into coming down for a visit once the pup arrives,” he added. Elder and him shook hands. We left the corner of the living area and walked up to James, Mark and Joy who stood waiting.
“I’m happy we could get the agreement signed. I think it will b
good for both packs,” James said, holding out his hand.
“I agree,” Finlay said. “We will make sure your pack members are safe while they are in our pack,” he added.
“I’m not worried.” I said goodbye to uncle Mark and aunt Joy. Apparently my dad and Finlay had agreed my parents would ride in our car. Sam and Jake would drive my parents‘. My mom and I were ushered into the back seat.
“Can we make a deal to only stop at every other rest stop?” I asked as we drove off.
“I don’t know, Red. I think it’s better to stop at them all,” Finlay said
“It’s a long way. I think your mate is right. It’s not good for you to sit too long,” my mom agreed.
“Thank you, Melissa,” Finlay said.
“Dad?”
“I agree with them, pumpkin.”
“Dadi You are supposed to be on my side” I objected. My dad chuck d
“I’m always on your side, pumpkin. But it means I sometimes need
