“You’re right, darling, I am just so excited to become a daddy. It finally feels life is how it’s supposed to be” Griffin agrees with me once more putting on the simple black shirt.

And he is right it finally feels like the storms have settled, like we are where we need to be in life. Sure our workload still is crazy busy because of the delay. On top of that, I am still going to therapy. I still wake up to nightmares, bathing in sweat. Those are all things we are working on though. Things that will get better over time.

This thing with Cynthia luckily had not damaged his standing in the pack, he still was a valued member. And he deserved to, he had confided in me that the reason for suddenly snapping at Cynthia was the fact that she had yet again harassed an innocent person. Risking not only her but his standing with the pack and reputation too. And when she was called to be confronted she had acted like we were making a fuss about nothing. According to him, it was that new level of disrespect for
