Eso es todo.
"" ""Why are you nervous?"" ""Uh.
You know.
That they could get away or something.
"" ""Ohh.
"" Why is he acting weird.
He's probably just really stressed out.
""Hey sexy!"" Elyse running in.
""Hey gorgeous!"" I get up and give her a hug.
""Oh my gosh.
He's adorable!"" Jaz says picking Asher up.
""He is.
"" Elyse agrees with her.
""So Skylar.
"" Jaz starts speaking.
""I think you should go see your parents.
"" ""Ya.
I'm pretty sure my mom is dying to see Asher.
"" ""You can go see her now if you would like.
I have to talk to my parents for something, so I won't be there but the other girls will be.
"" ""Okay.
I'll go get my stuff.
"" I smiled.
""I'll come help.
"" Axel says getting up.
""Can you watch Asher for me?"" I asked the girls.
""Sure thing.
"" ""Oh my gosh.
He is going to be a stud.
"" Mark comes in with Stephan and the twins.
""He is going to rock at being alpha.
"" Ryan said laughing while Stephan and Turner were nodding.
""Try not to let the guys fry his brain too much.
"" I said to Elyse.
""We won't don't worry.
"" She reassures me.
Axel""Bye babe.
Have fun!"" I called out to her.
She smiled and nods.
I close the door and turn to Carter and Jaz.
""Lets go get a ring.
""
""How about this one?"" ""No.
It's only one color and no diamonds.
Girls like diamonds Axel.
"" ""Hey guys, what about this one?"" Carter turns around and he is holding a ring with a huge diamond.
""It's gorgeous.
"" Jaz takes taking the ring.
She looks at it for a moment then gives it too me.
I hold it and study it.
It has a huge square diamond and it is surround by smaller diamonds.
Then on each side, are 2 small circular diamonds.
""It's perfect.
Thankyou Carter.
"" I say smiling.
""Anytime.
You're marrying my sister dude, of course I'll help.
"" He laughs.
""I'll take this one please.
"" I say giving the cashier the ring.
""She will love this ring.
"" She says to me.
I smile and she rings it up.
""$750 please.
"" I had her my debit card and she swipes it through.
""Thankyou.
Have a nice day.
"" I grab the ring and get in the car with Carter and Jaz.
""I wonder how the party decorations is going.
"" Jaz says.
""Same here.
I hope they have everything under control.
"" Carter says.
""I think they are fine.
My men can handle it.
"" I said confidently.
""I hope.
"" I muttered the last part and stare at the ring.
""Dude.
You'll be fine.
She will say yes.
"" Carter says putting a hand on my shoulder.
""You think?"" I asked him softly.
""I know.
When you guys found out you were mates, she wouldn't shut up about you.
"" I laughed at that.
""When ever she talked about you, you could tell that she loves you.
It grew stronger everyday.
I well me, Austin, and Spencer were gonna kick your ass if you broke her heart.
But I don't think that is gonna happen.
"" He smiled.
""Trust me.
It won't.
"" I said honestly.
I hope she says yes.
"
"Chapter 49: The proposal
AxelWe got the ring and I am currently trying to find a place to put it because Skylar called Jaz and said that everyone is coming over here.
Her parents did a good job of keeping her there which I am greatly thankful for.
""She's here!"" Stephan called out.
""Did you hide the ring?"" Carter asked me.
""Ya.
I put it behind some of the baby presents she got.
"" I said pointing to it.
""This is gonna be awesome.
She'll be so surprised.
"" He laughed.
""I'm hoping.
"" I smiled.
The door creaked open and in walked Skylar and her parents.
All of her old pack members were already here helping set up for Asher's party.
""Hey Axel.
"" She smiled at me and gave me a kiss.
""Hey.
"" I kissed he back and she handed me Asher.
""Hey Asher.
How's my little stud muffin?"" ""He's gonna get all the ladies.
"" Mark said laughing.
""But he's gonna be respectful to them.
"" Skylar said sternly.
The guys looked at each other and laughed.
Skylar cleared her throat and put her hands on her hips in her usual I-dare-you-to-challenge-me type of way.
The guys quickly stopped laughing and nodded their heads.
""He's gonna be respectful and wait for his mate.
"" ""Yes.
"" Mark said quietly.
She smiled at his answer and nodded.
I laughed and handed Asher back to her.
""Now that you are here, lets eat.
"" I smiled.
""Finally!"" Both sets of twins yelled.
""The food was excellent mom.
"" Skylar said.
""Thankyou sweetie.
"" Her mom beamed back smiling.
""Presents for Asher!"" I shouted taking him from Skylar.
""I'll go get them.
"" She said walking over there.
""What about the ring?"" Carter asked me.
""He placed it behind the very last one.
"" Jaz said for me.
""Ya.
I want most of this night for Asher.
Then at the very end is when she will find the ring.
"" I said.
They nodded and then Skylar walked in.
We spent about 20 minutes later, we were down to the last one.
She picked up the present and the ring box.
Everyone looked at me with knowing smiles and I couldn't stop smiling myself.
She put the present down and looked at the ring box and opened it.
""You guys do know that Asher is a gu-oh my gosh.
"" She stopped talking when her eyes landed on the ring and she covered her mouth with her free hand.
She looked up at me and I smiled widely at her.
I got up and walked over to her.
I took the box from her hand and took out the ring while getting down on one knee.
Tears started forming in her eyes and I took a deep breath.
Me saying I was nervous, was a complete understatement.
""˜Come on Axel.
I can do this.
' I told myself.
""Skylar, I love you so much.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you and Asher.
I love you both so much and I want to wake up to you every morning and see our baby boy grow up.
I love you both with all my heart and I could never replace either of you.
You are my sunshine, my love, my world, my everything.
Skylar Jones, will you please marry me?"" I asked hopefully.
Her mouth fell open and
she stood there speechless with tears coming out.
I chuckled with she opened her mouth and nothing came out.
""Soooo""¦.
?"" She tried again but nothing came out so she just nodded her head frantically.
""Yes.
"" She finally whispered.
I stood up and slipped the ring on her finger and pulled her in for a kiss.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me close.
""I love you.
"" I whispered in her ear.
""I love you too.
"" She smiled.
""Woohh!!!! Wedding time!"" Her mom yelled.
Skylar groaned and buried her beat red face in my chest.
""Mom""¦.
"" ""What.
I'm happy.
I'm a grandmother and I'm gonna plan a wedding.
"" ""Oh my gosh.
"" Skylar laughed.
""Calm down honey.
You will have plenty of time to plan for the wedding.
"" Her dad laughed at her mom.
She huffed but reluctantly nodded in agreement.
I picked up Asher from his new crib that we put together.
""Mommy and daddy are getting married.
"" I smiled.
He laughed and clapped his hands.
""And you are gonna wear your very first tux.
All the girls are gonna be at your feet.
"" Asher smiled again.
""He has your smile.
"" Skylar said kissing my cheek and walking over to the cake.
I turned back to Asher staring at the cake.
""You might be a big brother soon.
"" I whispered to him.
""I heard that!"" I heard Skylar yell from the kitchen.
""I don't know what you are talking about!"" I shouted back to her.
""Whatever.
"" She laughed.
""Come on Asher.
Lets go get some dessert.
"" He clapped his hands.
We walked into the kitchen and I grabbed a piece of cake for the both of us.
Skylar went to go reach for him probably to feed him but I shook my head.
""This night is all about you and Asher.
Relax and talk to your friends and family.
Let me worry about Asher.
Me and the guys got this.
"" ""That's what I'm afraid of.
"" She teased back.
I playfully glared at her as she walked out of the living room and into the other room where the girls are.
""Tomorrow.
It's gonna be you, me, and the guys.
We will give mommy and her friends some money for a spa day.
"" I said to him.
""I'm in for that!"" The twins said.
""And we want to spend some time with our nephew.
"" Spencer said.
""We can buy him some clothes.
Oh my gosh I sound like a girl.
"" Austin said looking traumatized.
We laughed and patted his back.
Maybe things will turn out differently.
But the problem will come back when Skylar and I have our second child.
But I don't care.
I'm gonna protect our children with my life.

"Chapter 50: Guys shopping?
Axel
""You guys ready to go shopping?"" I asked them.
Today we are going shopping for Asher.
The group consists of me, Caleb, the twins, Skylar's brothers, Mark, and Stephan.
""This is so stupid.
I'm a guy.
And guys don't go shopping!"" Mark groaned.
""Oh suck it up.
We can't turn back now.
We gave the girls our credit cards, well besides Axel's and the girls already left an hour ago for their spa day.
"" Ryan said.
""He's right.
"" Turner agreed with him.
""Fine.
Lets just get this over with.
"" Mark whined.
""Come on ladies.
"" I smiled as I picked up Asher and headed towards the door.
""Ugh.
How long has it been?"" Ryan groaned again.
""10 minutes.
"" Caleb said looking at his watch.
""This is taking to long.
I don't care if she is my sister.
"" Spencer said laughing.
""Oh come on.
She's our sister.
"" Carter scowled them.
""Fine.
"" Austin and Spencer whined.
After picking out clothes, a couple of bottles, bibs, pacifiers, diapers, and some baby formula we were ready to go.
""Come here Asher.
Come see your favorite uncle.
"" Carter said laughing.
I laughed with him and handed him Asher.
My phone vibrated in my pocket and I answered it knowing it was Skylar.
""Yes?"" I laughed.
I already knew what she was going to ask.
""How is Asher?"" Skylar asked worried.
""I'm fine babe.
Thanks for asking.
Oh and Asher is doing great.
"" I teased her.
""I'm sorry Axel.
How are you doing?"" ""Fine.
"" I smiled and laughed.
""That's good.
Is Asher alright? Is he eating correctly?"" ""Yes Sky.
He's perfectly fine.
But he's with your brothers, so he might be a little crazy when you see him.
"" I joked.
""Oh great.
Last time dad and mom left them to babysit me, I grabbed a gun because I saw Carter shooting zombies on his video games.
"" ""Oh gosh.
I see where you get your violent behavior from.
"" ""Oh shut it.
I just wanted to see how things were going""¦and to see if Asher is still alive.
"" She muttered the last part.
""What? No faith in me?"" She laughed.
""I'm sorry, it's just.
I haven't been away from Asher, and I'm constantly worrying about him.
I feel like something bad is going to happen, and with Tyler's pack coming in to make things worse.
And I'm a mother, we always worry about our babies.
"" ""Skylar.
Asher is going to be fine.
"" ""Promise?"" ""I pinky promise.
"" I reassured her.
""Okay.
Thankyou.
te quiero.
"" ""I love you too.
Now stop worrying and get back to your spa day.
"" I smiled.
""Okay.
Bye sweetie.
"" ""Bye baby.
"" I hung up and saw Carter tossing Asher up in the air.
""He is gonna be so intimidating when he gets older.
He's gonna be all like ""˜roar! I am a mighty alpha, fear before me!'"" Stephan said.
""Oh gosh.
I would LOVE to see that happen.
"" Caleb commented.
""That would be entertaining.
"" I said laughing at the guys.
""Come on.
Let's go check this stuff out and get some pizza.
I'm starving.
"" Mark said.
""Agreed.
"" We all said.
""Well little Asher.
This is what we call pizza.
And trust me.
It will be your first love.
"" I said laughing.
Asher looked at the pizza and clapped his hands.
""I think he likes it.
"" Austin said.
""Me too.
"" I replied.
""Would you like any refills?"" Our waitress asked.
I took Asher's bottle and shook it.
""Yes can I please have some more Mountain De
w and more water?"" I said handing her mine and Asher's cups.
""Of course.
"" She smiled and walked away.
""So, I wonder what wolf color he will be.
"" Turner spoke up.
""He might take after me and be a black one or Skylar's.
"" I said.
""It could be either.
"" Stephan said.
""Here you are.
"" The waitress said handing our drinks back.
""Thankyou.
"" I said.
She nodded and smiled and walked back.
""So, is he gonna have a sister or a brother?"" Spencer asked wiggling his eyebrows.
I shoved his shoulder and laughed.
""I don't know.
But hopefully he will be an older brother.
"" ""I want a niece.
"" Spencer said looking at Asher.
""I mean, I'm glad I have a nephew first.
"" ""Ya.
I'm glad I got a son first.
That way when Skylar and I hopefully have a girl, Asher can kick any guys ass.
Even if he is her mate.
"" I replied back back to him laughing.
""Ya.
And she also has 3 overprotective uncles, an overprotective dad, and overprotective pack members.
"" Carter said referring to the guys.
""I wonder if you guys do have a girl, if she will be just like Skylar.
"" Stephan said thinking.
""If she is, then there will never be a boring day.
"" Caleb said smiling.
""Who knows.
Maybe she will get the ease dropping and sneaking out from Skylar as well.
"" Mark teased.
""She will not be sneaking out of the house.
"" I said sternly.
""Oh trust me, there will come a day if he or she will sneak out.
"" ""Not on my watch.
"" ""Oh poor daddy.
"" Ryan said pinching my cheeks.
I growled and everyone laughed.
""Lets go home.
"" I said.
The guys nodded in agreement and we walked back to our SUV.
I wonder what gender our next baby will be.
Well when we have our next baby.
I kinda hope it will be a girl.
but if not, then it's okay.
If we do have a girl, I wonder if she will have Skylar's eyes""¦or even smile.
I snapped out of my thoughts when we pulled up to my house.
""Hey.
"" I called out as we walked inside.
""Hey babe.
"" Skylar said kissing me.
""Hey Asher.
"" She said taking him from my arms.
""I'm going to go get the bags.
"" I said.
""We'll help.
"" Her brothers said too.
I nodded a thankyou and we all went out to the car to get the bags.
""We can set these in my room for right now.
