And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 95: Baby Shower Confrontation

Ivy.

Two weeks passed with peace, and during that time, I had accomplished getting the nursery put together with the help of the guys, my mother, and Kate. My mother and Kate stayed longer to be with us, and I was more than happy to have them here.

It meant I was able to spend more time with them both, and with the delivery date getting closer, I needed a refreshing change. Something that didn’t revolve around what was going to happen and who wanted me dead.

“Hey, do you think we need to add more of the vines to that wall?” Kate asked as she stood staring at the wall above the dresser with her hand on her chin and confusion in her stance.

“I mean, I wouldn’t oppose it. I think that would be cute.”

She glanced at me for a moment before nodding her head. “You’re right. It’s way too cute to pass up.”

Shaking my head, I continued to fold the baby clothes in the white basket while she had fun. I thought T had bought a lot of things, but after a long shopping trip with those two, these kids had everything they would ever need for the entire first year of their lives.

“Ivy!” my mother called out as she came searching through the rooms until her eyes landed on me.” Ah, there you are. The guests will start arriving soon.”

Guests… I almost forgot that my mother had thrown a last-minute baby shower for me today. She had invited the entire pack, and made it co-ed so that the guys could be present. I wasn’t sure who was going to come, though.

I wasn’t exactly liked much. “Okay, okay,” I smirked. “I’m coming down now.”

She didn’t miss a beat when she stood in front of me, staring at me with her hands on her hips. There was no way she was going downstairs without me, and as much as I wished she would, I knew this battle wasn’t one I would win.

“Go, Ivy. I’ll finish up here and be down in a minute.”

Knowing there was no way to avoid the inevitable, I nodded, and left with my mother to go appear before the non-existent masses she believed were coming. However, when I walked down the stairs, I found myself in shock at how many people were here.

It almost looked like the entire pack had shown up for the celebration. It warmed my heart to be a part of it. To see how many people in this pack came to celebrate the future rulers that would one day inherit this all.

“Congratulations,” the voices called out as I walked through the sea of people towards the back door, heading outside to where a grand event was being held.

“Mom, you really outdid yourself with this. You didn’t have to go through all this trouble.”
