Pregnant and Dumped By The Alpha novel Chapter 66

The doorbell rang, interrupting my conversation with Chase. Hurriedly, I made my way to the door but not before telling the boys to behave.

As I opened the door, I was met by a tiny-looking girl, wrapped up in her coat and scarf with a looming giant holding onto her protectively. "Alexis! How are you, sweetheart?" I asked, pulling her into a hug.

"I'm good, Mom. Hmm, let me guess, you cooked one of your famous lamb dishes? It smells fabulous."

"Why, thank you sweetheart, come on in."

Once they both entered the house, I pulled Kaden into a tight hug. He was tall now, and loomed over me like a skyscraper. I can't believe my little boy had grown up so much!

"You two should come by more often! I've missed you both so much!" I complained as I led them through to the kitchen, following the boys' scent.

"Mom, we came here yesterday for lunch. Did you forget? Woah, you're getting old!" Kaden joked.

Alexis smacked him at the back of his head while I lightly slapped his huge arms. "You don't say stuff like that to your Mom!"

"You tell him, Lex. I'm not going to speak to him now because like old people can't here, I won't be able to hear him either," I said with a fake scowl.

"What? No Mom, I swear I was joking! I'm sorry, please forgive me!" Kaden pleaded. I turned away from him so that he couldn't see the smile that was threatening to appear as we entered the kitchen.

Chase, having heard everything, laughed. "I heard what you did, son. That was low."

"I was joking! I swear!" he exclaimed.

"Sure, sure," Chase chuckled, giving him a brief hug.

"Mom! Can we eat the food now?! I'm kind of starving!" Caleb complained.

"Cale, how's it going, man?" Kaden said, high-fiving both his younger brothers.

"I'm hungry," he groaned moodily before putting his head down on the kitchen island. He was going through the teenage mood-swings right now and to say that it was a pain in the ass would be an understatement. But we had dealt with two teenagers already, so I was sure we could survive this one too.

"Ah, he's beginning the phase too," Kaden said knowingly.
