Chapter 82

She looks away from all the blood at the front of the vehicle that is smashed into the beach.

Liam opens the back lift gate and there is a little boy that can’t be more than 2 or 3 in the back cowering in the corner. He is clearly shaken up and covered in bruises. He has dirt and grim covering his body. When he sees Allie, he launches himself at her. “Sebastian?” She says softly.

He cries and nods his head. She hugs him tight and cries into his hair.

The twins both look to each other and rub Allie’s back.

“How did you get here Sebastian?” Allie asks him as she sets him down in the back of the truck.

He shrugs his shoulders. “Bad guys.” He says in the cutest little voice and points to the front of the SUV.

“The bad guys took you?” She asked.

He nods his head. “Bad guys hurt me.”

“Where is your mommy?” Allie asks him as she cups his cheek.

He looks down and starts crying. “Bad guys make her cry and then make her sleep always.” He says as he cries harder.

Allie scoops him up and walks away from the vehicle. She sits down with him in the sand and rocks him. He snuggles into her chest and goes right to sleep.

The guys talk for a few minutes and then decide they are going to have to walk around to the inlet they use for their beach to get Allie and Sebastian up the cliff.

Liam and Josh give instructions and then they all walk over to Allie. Josh helps her up and takes Sebastian from her. He makes sure he stays asleep as he wraps an arm around her shoulders and kisses the top of her head.

Liam and Mason each hold one of Allie’s hands and walk her over to the beach so they can walk up the incline with her easier.

As soon as they get to the top of the incline, Sebastian wakes up and starts crying. Allie takes him from Josh and coos in his ear until he is back to sleep. The group walks up to the packhouse. The twins make sure that they have one hand under little Sebastian so that Allie doesn’t get too worn out.

They have some of the house workers set up a small twin bed in the room next to theirs. They get a bath ready for Sebastian and some clothes as well. Allie wakes him up and gets him in the tub. Josh gets some food for him from the kitchen while Liam and Allie give him a bath.

They get him dried off and dressed.

“Sebastian. This is going to be your room. We are right next door but this is where you are going to stay.”

“Okay Allie.”

“Why don’t you eat and then you can go to sleep okay?”

“Yes Allie.” He says with a smile.

“I don’t want you walking around by yourself though, okay?”

Sebastian nods with a big smile on his face.

“This is Christian. He will always be outside your door to protect you. You can trust him.” Liam says.

Christian waves and smiles to him. “He, my friend?”

“Yes, he is our friend. He has other friends too so if he says you can trust the person you listen to him, okay?” Allie says sternly.

“Yes Allie.”

He giggles and runs over to the table and starts eating and playing with some cars that the twins found for him. When he is done eating, he almost falls asleep in his chair, so Liam picks him up and carries him to his bed. They all tuck him in and Allie kisses his forehead.

“Goodnight Sebastian.”

“Allie?”

“Yes?”

“Are you going to be my mommy now?”

“We can talk about that tomorrow.” She says.

“Would you like that little man?” Liam asks.

He nods.

“Would you want us to be your daddies?” Josh asks.

“Me no know you but yes. You nice to my Allie.”

“Okay we will talk about it tomorrow then little man.” Liam says with a chuckle.

“You get a really good night sleep.” Josh says.

Sebastian nods and snuggles into bed.

Allie kisses his forehead again and covers him with the blankets. The twins turn on a lamp for him and they close his door.

The twins and Allie head into their room. Once inside Liam closes the door and locks it.

Allie mindlessly walks to the couch in front of the windows and sits down staring out at the sky and ocean.

“Baby, can you tell us about Sebastian?” Liam asks.

They sit on either side of the coffee table in front of her. They hold her hands.

“I don’t really know about him. He was born in Dark Moon after his mom was raped. She was an omega and she always helped me. When he was about 18 months old, they just disappeared one night.”

“I’m surprised he remembers you then.” Liam says.

“How old do you think he is now?” Josh asks.

“He should be 3 now. He was born in the maid quarters though so I doubt there is even a record of him being born.”

“What do you think his mom would want us to do with him? Liam asks.

“That I don’t know but I can’t let him go back there. We are having twins. Could we even handle a three-year-old too?”

“If that’s what you want to do then we will make it happen my love.” Josh says.

“If we don’t take him in, where would he even go?”
