Chapter 11-1

I was tired, but the day had been slow. The babies were playing with their toys on the ground with Nikki watching over them. It was peaceful, so I was just lying there, resting. They had kept me up for a good portion of the night. I heard the front door open and close, but I didn't have the energy to look up at whoever it was. I recognized his footsteps as he walked into the house. "There's a party to encourage the blending of the packs tonight," Mikko said as he sat down on the floor with the kids. I was feeling especially exhausted, so I didn't move from my lounging position on the couch. There was no way I would be doing anything. I had a hard time sleeping. The babies on the floor were moving around too quickly these days and the baby in my belly would not stop moving to give me an hour's worth of sleep. I just shrugged. I wasn't going to commit to anything. Mikko smirked when Ben knocked a block out of Angie's hand.
