Skunk POV

I did it.

Yep, I did.

I asked Pip to be my lady; it’s fast, and the reasons behind it might not be in my favour. If she says no, I will keep working on her until she says yes. Patiently and gently, use Dan to be my ally, together, we can wear her down.

Now, to start working on that plan, the first step will be to find Dan.

“Skunk, how’s Pip?” Wrench called out, having me change my direction, hoping that Wrench had

Dan.

“Left hip slight dislocation, and the swelling in her throat might render her unable to talk for a few days; it’s still swelling, apparently. Nothing broken.” I couldn’t see Dan.

“Where is she?” Jip asked, coming into the room, with Dan at his side.

“Daddy,” Dan raced towards me and threw his arms around my legs, looking up at me with a smile.

“My room, the best place for her, it’s quiet and secluded,” I replied as I lifted Dan onto my hip.

“Did she get photos taken?” Wrench looked at me, hopeful.

“Yep, and had the report sent to the officer in charge, too.”

“Good, hope they put him away for good.”

“I can’t see him getting a long jail time, but the two assaults should be at least two years, unless they have other crimes they can pin on him. We have to be prepared for him to get out on bail and come looking for her. I have suggested she doesn’t leave the compound for a while. At least until she has healed.” I was tempted to tell them my offer, but held off. This was not about me and what I could do; it was about Pip and what she wanted. Right now, if I say something, they might go to her, leaving Pip feeling she’s being pressured and backing off, even if the answer is positive.

“I agree, she has to move here with us. No way can I live with myself, thinking she’s out there alone and vulnerable, that azzhat can show up any time he wants, and that gatekeeper kept letting him in. I reckon, no matter where she moves to, it will be the same, so here’s the only answer for now, long term, who knows.” Wrench was talking out loud, more than to anyone in particular. She apparently does that, voicing her views for anyone to hear and comment on.

“Agreed, she has a room here for as long as she needs one.” Fixer’s voice came out from behind us. I turned to see Storm and Fixer coming towards us.

“Not sure about the rest of you, but I miss lunch. Anyone want to join us?”

“I had my lunch at the pancake place,” Wrench answered, but I hadn’t eaten. To me, it was getting closer to dinner time, not lunch, maybe that was the Fixer’s way of having a dig at me, knowing I hadn’t eaten and then spent time at the hospital.

“Yeah, I missed lunch, come on, champ, let’s see what’s in the kitchen.” I left them to talk when it occurred to me that Fixer wanted to discuss the situation without Dan hearing it. Mostly, he won’t understand. But I should have thought of him hearing out the discussion.

I made some toasted cheese sandwiches, cut up some small coffee and juice, and sat in the

kitchen. Dan decided he was going to feed me, not interested in eating, but he drank the juice

between feeding me the toasties. We had just finished when the ladies arrived to start preparing

dinner. It would take a couple of hours, but my toast wouldn’t spoil dinner.

“I love seeing you with your son, you are cute together, with the lad feeding you, he’s the dad, you’re the son.” One of the older ladies giggled as they made fun of me at the same time as

complimenting me. They weren’t in here to see this time, but remembered from breakfast that Dan most likely fed me.

“Play,” Dan demanded when he popped the last piece of food in my mouth, and checked my cup

your adoption without a marriage certificate” Tandy gave me all the ins and outs of the legal

“Let’s go see if Mummy has woken up.” I offered Dan, and he raised his arms, wanting me to carry him, and I walked to my carriage. I put Dan down, inside the door, and he ventured in, investigating

as he went. I let him touch everything he could within his reach. I thought about what might need

to be raised up, but Dan was a good lad and didn’t try to touch anything overhead, only at his height, which wasn’t much.

At last, we reached the back of the carriage, with the bedroom, and I pushed the small door open. Dan was on the big bed, using a chair to climb up, and moved to his mother’s side, leaned in, and lifted an eyelid. Oh, that doesn’t look like a good way to wake up.

“Hi, baby.” Her sleepy voice spoke, and my d**k decided he liked the sound of her voice when she

woke.

“Food,” he said, in response. Pip winced as she sat up. I moved to get some water and her meds. “Here,” I offered her the two bottles, lids off, and she poured out the tablet she needed into her hand, then took the bottle of water and drained half the bottle in one go. I took the medicine bottles back and replaced the lids while Dan spoke to Pip.

“Bathroom first, wash those hands,” Pip ordered, and Dan looked at me, as if asking where the bathroom was. I took him to a small bathroom. There was a shower, sink and toilet in one small area. He giggled and enjoyed using the mini bathroom. I was the only one to use it, and hadn’t thought much of it, but would Dan want showers? Or go to the clubhouse for a wash. When the ablution block is completed, we can use it. I will make a small adjustment and add a room with a

bath. Easy–peasy.

“Can you help me, please?” Pip called out to me once I had finished with Dan.

“Wait here, Mummy needs some help, she is still sore.” Dan sat at the table and played with

coasters.

I helped her out of bed and showed her the bathroom. When we were done, I offered to carry her back to the clubhouse for dinner, which she declined, so we walked very
