Chapter 0571 “Damn, you're good!” Lars reached across the table and fist bumped Jasper.

“What can I say!” Jasper looked pretty pleased with himself before he took a drink.

“So, what has been going on?” Jace asked in a hushed voice.

“Yeah, we haven't heard shit this last week.” Lars added.

“Nothing yet. We have a few things in play but nothing has been reported.” Alec said. His hand kept rubbing my thigh, making it hard to focus.

“You know, my pack is pretty close to Anthony’s. It might not be a bad idea for you three to cvisit us and if

Alec and Kristen want to do ssight seeing... that might not be a bad idea.” Jace said as he took a drink.

“I would love to meet little Adalynn!” Echo smiled warmly at me.

“That will give you squality parenting classes!” I laughed at Echo’s spark in her eye.

“When are you guys having kids? You been mated for a few years now.” Emily rounded on Echo.

“Probably next year. We have a few more things to check off our bucket list before we bring kids into our lives.” “YES!” Penny practically screamed.

“Do them! Who knows, you might get triplets out of it!” The whole table laughed at Penny’s

face. She was dead serious. “Why don’t you guys ctoo! I would love to meet the little ones you have been calling the Quads.” Echo tried to stop her laughter.

“I’m curious. Does Adalynn looked like the triplets? I guess she would be their half sister? Is that what the DNA would say?” Emily asked.

“Hey, guys. Do you mind if we sit with you all? Jacob walked up with Sherry around his arm. She looked petrified as she kept her eyes on the floor.

The table got quiet but Penny smiled warmly at them. “Of course. There is an open chair here you can sit at.” Colt moved over to make room for Jacob and Sherry.

“What are you all talking about?”

“What are you all talking about?”

Jacob asked. I could hear the nervousness in his voice. Sherry still didn’t look up as she sat down with her hands in her lap.

“Adalynn and the triplets would be considered half siblings. You are correct.” I said looking at Emily.

“Right now, if you put them beside each other, the boys looked identical and there is a strong resemblances of the girls. They looked like maybe fraternal twins or something but still clearly different.” “That’s crazy!” Emily shook her head in disbelief. The tension was slowly starting to fade.

“1 know! I’m excited to see what they look like and act like when they get older. If Elaina got Penny’s personality and Adalynn got Alec’s.... well that will

be a fun parenting time.” “Oh shit! Adalynn will get Elaina into so much trouble!” Echo laughed.

“I think we should create sdistance between us...” Penny avoided eye contact withas she took a drink but was smiling.

“Oh shit! Family drama!” Emily sang.

“1 would like to see you try to keep Adalynn away if she get's Alec’s personality.” Jace was stone cold serious.

“Shit.” Colt shook his head and looked at Alec. “Hopefully the boys get my personality and then it won’t matter.” “Those boy have to keep those girls in line so they better get your

personality.” Alec muttered.

“However, Adalynn will be extremely watched...” “If she has my personality, how do you expect to keep an eye on her. lama free spirit that cannot be tamed!” Looking back, I batted my eye lashes at him. “Besides, I heard you were quite the playboy and Adalynn will NOT be like that.” “Who said I was a playboy? That was fuck face over here.” Alec looked appalled but completely tossed Jasper under the buss.

Jasper’s mouth dropped open. He had put his hand over his heart and was about to protest his innocence when he was interrupted. “Don’t be shocked.

Even I knew that!” Emmy looked at him like he was stupid.

Jace and Lars busted up laughing. “I wouldn’t laugh boys. I have it on good authority that you two weren’t innocent either!” Echo rounded on them.

“I bet Colt never told you shit!” Jace challenged Echo.

“Bros before-" “Don’t finish that statement.” Penny put her hand over his mouth.

The whole table was laughing, even Jacob and Sherry. “So, Sherry. What have you been up to?” Emily asked, nicely.

“Oh, um. I have been doing mostly self healing things. I got into yoga and been eating healthy.” She said very timidly.

“She has been writing letters to those

who have wronged her and we held a burning ceremony. By putting everything she had endured and felt or the paper, she let it all go when she put it in the fire. This is the next step we are working on. Getting back into mingling and building relationships.

So, we decided it was a good tto join the table and make that next step.” Jacob said. I wasn’t sure if Sherry wanted him to share all that. By the blush that crept across her cheeks, she was a little embarrassed.

“That is incredibly healthy way to go about it! I am so proud of you.” Emily said, nicely.

“I agree. With the trauma you have lived, you have to start somewhere and it sounds like you and Jacob are making good progress.” Echo nodded in approval.

«rhank you. It might takeawhile to get comfortable but I would like to be a friend to you all... if you would let me.” Sherry was looking up but still avoided eye contact.

Alec didn’t trust her and I could tell Colt didn’t really either. It would take quite awhile for her to win their trust back. She might not had lied directly but omission in their eyes is lying.

“That would be lovely. One person could never have too many friends.” Penny said.

Jacob looked atas picked up my drink and downed the rest of it. “I'm going to go grab another one. Does anyone need one?” IL asked, standing up.

«11 cwith you.” Alec muttered.

“If you don’t mind, I'll go with her.” Jacob asked Alec. /
