**Josie’s POV **

After the amazing night I had with my bonds, I am not best pleased when I’m woken up at 5 AM. Deacon says we are meeting with the military commander and his team at 700. I begrudgingly make my way to the shower, almost falling asleep again under the soothing warm water. Luke steps in behind me, taking pity on me and helping me wash.

By 6:00 I’m feeling a little more awake and I head downstairs to the delicious smell of Deacon’s fresh waffles. The kitchen is completely back to normal after the events of yesterday and it’s nice to sit down and eat a calm meal with all of my bonds.

We arrive at the academy by 6:45 and go straight to the grand hall. Deacon had offered to use the place as our base whilst the students were all at home and the military commander had agreed it was the best place for an operation this big. We have a very short window of time so we need a large team working together to get as much done as possible.

“Josie, oh goodness, just look at you!” an excited female voice calls and I look up in time to see Olive, Deacon’s mother, rushing towards me. She wraps her arms around me in a motherly hug and then pulls back to study me with a tear in her eve.

“It’s good to see you again,” I smile at her.

“Deacon told us all about your time away and Little Bean, I’ve been desperate to see you but I know you needed time to reconnect with all your bonds. You’ve all had quite the ordeal,” she says with a sympathetic smile.

“It’s been a crazy few weeks, I’m just glad to be back home,”

“Well let’s get this rogue business dealt with and then we can prepare for our growing family. I can’t wait to finally be a grandma,” she beams before rushing off to brew large pots of tea and coffee.

“Thank you,” Deacon says in my mind from across the room.

says.

“I’m glad she is happy,” I tell him.

“She has already volunteered for babysitting duties. I think we may have to fight her to have any time with the little bean,” he says, eying his mother suspiciously as she pushes in a trolley of snacks.

“Well, I’m not going to say no to her babysitting, especially if it gives us time to have a repeat of last night,” I

“Agreed,” he hums.
