Chapter 28: Meeting Mommy's Parents

Bonnie was crying her eyeballs out at this time. She was sobbing heartbrokenly and thought she would see her parents after the New York trip, but now her Pop was in the emergency. Bryan hugged her and told her he was there to support her. In the meantime, he thinks, "I just got my little family back; now they have to leave me again."

They went to the sitting room, and Alpha Brian told his parents that Bonnie had sad news: her dad was admitted to the emergency, and her mom, Azalea, did not have any more information except to tell Bonnie her dad was critical and she needed to go home immediately. The Walters' thoughts are going wild with worry at this time. What if Bonnie decided to stay in Edinburgh and never return with Bea and Brady, their precious grandchildren they just met? What would they do? Roseann said, Bonnie, since it is your dad, why don't you leave the twins with us, and we will take care of them until you return? Bonnie forcefully said, No, thank you! My children were never separated from me, and my dad never met the twins, so this may be his last opportunity to meet them, and they are going with me." She is living her worst nightmare: The Walters were trying to steal her pups. Alpha Bryan said, "Bonnie will take the twins with her when she goes to Scotland, as she was the only parent they knew up to now. A relationship needs to be fostered, not forced. I don't want the twins to think their mom abandoned them. After a short discussion, the Alpha's parents decided to go home.

On their way home, they discussed this as a problem. Roseann asked what steps were needed if the twins were not returned to New York. They may need a lawyer, and Brian may have to claim paternal rights since he found out the twins are his. Jacob said he would contact their lawyer as soon as possible, and they would have to talk to Brian when Bonnie leaves. She left and never returned until the twins were four; who knows her intentions now, and what if she is forced to stay in Edinburgh? They were very uncomfortable and had to tell Brian their true feelings.

Meanwhile, Bonnie is making a systematic list of everything she needs to get done before she leaves. She needed permission to leave the school for the twins, and she had to call the Brothers to explain what was happening. Her tickets must be bought, suitcases packed, and laundry needs to be done. First on the list is calling the brothers. She called the brothers while sobbing and told them that she needed to return to Scotland since her dad was admitted to the emergency room. They told her not to worry; they would call their parents when they hung up and ask them to go to the hospital since it was nighttime. They decided to do a three-way Facetime call to speak with them herself. His parents, Travis and Anna, told Bonnie, "Bairne, don't you worry. We will go right now to support Azalea." Bonnie asked them to stay on the phone until they reached the hospital.

They reached the hospital in about twenty minutes and went to the emergency room. They met her sobbing mom. She said she found Douglas sitting on his favourite chair, hardly breathing, as if he had a heart attack. Bonnie started to cry again; Brian came over, hugged her and told her, "It is going to be ok."

She explained to Anna and Azalea she would travel in two days when she got a flight and to tell her Pop to hold on until she got there. She has two important people coming with her to meet him.

They nodded their heads. Brian led her to bed and tucked her in. Next, he called his secretary and asked her to book three first-class tickets, one adult and two kids. He checked on the pups, and they were agitated; their bedtime routine was messed up, so he read them a story. When they seemed to be settling down, he kissed Bea good night, and she said, "Good night, handsome daddy." He kissed her on the forehead and then went to see Brady. He gave Brady a hug and fist bump, and Brady said, "Thank you, Daddy, I love you." Brian replied, "I love you too, kiddo," Bea said, "I love you more, Daddy." Brian said, "I love you, princess."

He felt awful for his precious mate. It seemed as if she had been doomed with worries constantly since she left Scotland. He would have taken his family on the company's private jet to Scotland, but Nathan used it for a business meeting in France, just a border away from Scotland. He will have to call Nathan for several reasons now, but most importantly, for him to give his Luna support and help with his godchildren.

Alpha Brian twisted and turned all night; he couldn't sleep. He will miss his mate and his children badly now that they must be away from him again. Will there be no time together with them after one thing is the next? His mate woke up with bloodshot eyes, and she seemed so concerned he told her to sleep in, and he would look after the rest. She told him, "No, if I stay home, I will worry, and it will worsen my situation; let me keep myself busy. She said she would come to the office in the afternoon. He hugged her, planted fluff kisses all over her face, and told her he loved and would miss her when she was in Scotland. She kissed him deeply, and they played with each other for a bit until their desires were satiated. Then he left for work.

Brian left for work and took the twins to school. Bonnie did the laundry. While doing laundry, she called Philomena and told her about her dad. Phil told her that the twin's leave of absence from school was granted, and she should not worry about their space. Their grandmother just called, and their space in the school is guaranteed. In Bonnie's mind, she was thinking, "That old woman!" When she finished folding the laundry and placing them on the twin's bed, it was time to go to work. She met with the lawyer and told him she would like to file for sole custody of her two children. He asked her if anything had changed, and she told him, "No," but she could not go into details with him and said she wanted all her shares in their company to be managed by Nathan in case of an emergency. The twins will inherit her claims at the age of twenty-one. She then discussed company business with him in New York. Callum will come to manage the New York office as soon as possible. Bonnie was covering her grounds.

Brian collected the twins and explained that their mommy's Pop was very ill and they would have to go to Scotland with her to meet their Scottish family. He told them not to worry while they are there if anything goes wrong; they must call him. He gave them a phone with his number. He entered his number on Brady's watch. Bea and Brady were very excited to visit their Scottish grandparents. When they returned, they asked Brian if they could speak Scottish, and he laughed and told them sure. They could not wait until Bonnie came home to pack their bags, so they decided to fill them themselves.

Bonnie returned to the Pack House exhausted. She packed her bag, and Brian gave her the tickets and told her he would take her to the airport. The housekeeper bathed the kids. She loved helping them and had them dressed and ready for dinner in no time. The little family sat down to dinner. The pups asked their mom to tell them about Edinburgh, and she told them she was an only child living with her parents. That anytime things were not right with their grandparent, she would take care of them, and Bea said that if mommy and daddy were not well, we would have to take care of them, too. Brady said, "Silly girl, our mommy and daddy are young. Nothing will happen to them."

That night, the parents put the twins to bed. Brian felt his heart was breaking. He will not have this opportunity to tuck the twins in for a while. He hugged and kissed them and told them he loved them very much. Then they went to bed. What a night it was for these two lovers. Brian could not get enough of his enchanting mate. He wanted to try various positions until she was so exhausted that she fell asleep. They woke up the following day and enjoyed each other more, showered, and got ready. Bonnie did not worry about the twins entering Heathrow airport because they were born British citizens, as the Cayman Islands is a British Territory. Brian placed all three suitcases in the car and drove them to the airport. He put his mate under his arm, his daughter held on to his other hand, and Brady held his mom's hand. They made a beautiful family picture.

He took them to board the aircraft, kissed each of them, and told them this was not Goodbye but to see them soon. They waved to him until he could see them no more. There were teardrops in his eyes when he left the airport. They told him, "Daddy, don't worry, we will meet Mommy's parents; we will return soon." Will he have enough strength to endure the separation, or will he follow his family to Scotland?
