“Well, have fun, Mrs. Vega,” Khan said before a Kodiak bear exploded from his body.
“Oh, I will,” she whispered to herself.
She climbed back up to her elbows and watched as the papa bear caught up to her baby bear. Liam’s Kodiak turned and tried to tackle Khan when he spotted him. He ran into his thick leg but bounced off like a ping pong ball hitting a brick wall.
The father and son wrestled and rolled around on the long grass while Bailey watched with a smile on her face. She could watch them play for hours.
Khan’s bear rolled onto his back and the cub climbed up on top of him, biting and nipping playfully. Liam’s bear raised his cute head and let out a little, squeaky, cracking growl that wouldn’t intimidate a butterfly.
Bailey laughed and shook her head. He had a lot to learn before he turned into the fierce, protective bear that he was bound to turn into one day.
She watched with her cheeks burning from her permanent smile. For the first time since Liam had first phased she was feeling like everything was going to be okay.
Khan’s bear climbed up to his paws and strolled off into the forest with Liam’s bear following closely behind. She could already see a difference in the little cub now that he had a parent to follow and model his behavior off of. She couldn’t wait to see how he would progress in a few weeks.
Bailey dropped her head back onto the grass when her two bears disappeared into the thick trees. She closed her eyes, feeling the warm sun heat up her eyelids. She moaned contently. This was the life.
It had been so long since she could just relax and have some time to herself without constantly being on the lookout for Liam. She stretched her legs out and curled her toes in the soft warm grass. I can get used to this.
She had spoken with Khan after breakfast and they decided that she was going to tell her boss that from now on she only worked part time at the Vet clinic. No more forced, unpaid overtime and no more five, or even six, days a week. She would go in twice a week and that was it. She didn’t really need too much money anymore now that they had a place to stay but she did like her coworkers and she loved helping out the animals. Two days a week would be perfect. She could get a break and live her own life for a few hours a week but still be around to take care of Liam and her man.
After about twenty minutes of lounging, Bailey dozed off into a light sleep. She woke up to the sound of a car pulling into the driveway of Vega Ranch.
She opened her eyes as a black Lexus pulled to a stop in front of the main house. A pretty girl wearing stylish clothes stepped out and mouthed a ‘wow’ as she raised her designer sunglasses and looked up at the log mansion.
“Elena!” Ava screamed as she ran out the front door. She ran right into the arms of her sister and picked her up off her feet.
Bailey smiled. She forgot that she was coming today. Ava’s sister Elena was a reporter for the biggest newspaper in New York. She was coming to visit for a week.
I wonder how Alexander is going to like another woman coming to visit. Bailey shook her head. He wasn’t going to be too happy about it.
Oh well. He’ll be off to war by the end of the week anyway.
Ava wrapped her arm around Elena’s shoulders and brought her inside. Bailey’s stomach fluttered with nerves.
For some reason, she had a feeling that Elena’s visit wasn’t going to go very well.
