Chapter 18

My morning started early as a little monster invaded my sleep. Super early in the morning, before the sun arose and the birds awoke A. K. A 9:30 am when Jennifer wormed her way into my bed. Jennifer's always loved cuddles but when it's practically dawned my cuddles are less than enthusiastic.

Jennifer was fairly smart for a girl of her age, I noticed this from our conversations this morning.

"Mummy?" Jennifer questioned and I turned to face her. "Yes sweetie?" I asked in reply and she smiled, "Can I come?" She asks and I raise my eyebrows in confusion. "Come where?" I ask and she smirks, "I want to come to the girl’s day out" She told me and I stared at her in shock. I never remember telling her that. "You didn't tell me mummy, my head told me" She whispered and I cautiously grabbed her hand bringing her closer to me, did she just read my mind?!

"What do you mean your head told you?" I whispered and she giggled, "There's a voice in my head that tells me stuff" She says with a giggle and I stare at her in concern.

I told Mason about the odd occurrences this morning and he insisted to get her checked out. He believes that maybe while we were imprisoned some kind of trauma made her insane. I instantly snapped at him saying that my child was not insane and he was just assuming the worst.

"Mason!" I called out as I trotted down the stairs and spotted him in the lounge lying on his sofa couch where he's been sleeping, he beamed brightly at me signalling me over to him. "Morning Bryn" He said merrily and I frowned. "Jennifer said something odd this morning, it was like she read my mind" I told him and he quickly sat up in bed and looked at me his eyes widened. "Like how?" He questioned and I explained to him what she said. After I was done talking his eyes were shocked and his mouth hanging open like a dead fish. He slowly closed her mouth before speaking, "Maybe after the traumatic experience, or this whole new world has sent her insane" He said and it was my turn for my eyes to widen and my glare to fix on him. "My daughter is not insane" I say offended and he cursed getting off the bed and pulling me into his arms. He looked me in the eyes and sighed, "You know that's not what I meant" He said kissing my forehead, "I love Jennifer just as much as you do, and I was just suggested for her to be checked out okay? Just to see if she's gone temporarily coo, coo or has a gift okay?" He asked and it was kind of heart-warming that he was asking me for my approval and I appreciated. "Only one appointment" I murmured and he smiled nodding, "Only one" He agreed releasing me to go get ready.

So tomorrow I'm taking Jennifer in too see the pack physiologist, to evaluate her mental stability and if everything's normal, a trip to the doctors to the doctor to see if she's gifted as Mason mentioned. It’s not uncommon for high ranking children under extreme pressure to developed gifts to help their pack and family. So, since I'm a born Luna, there is a chance she could have a gift. But that doesn't mean it doesn't completely freak me out that she can read my mind. It's not a huge deal but it's definitely an interesting one.

After showering I put on my favourite outfit that one of the girls gave me, since I had no clothes in this century that I fitted the girls gave me a few of their old ones until I could go to the mall, which happens to be today's objective. I was wearing a skater skirt with a black crop top that shows a slither of my belly. I insisted it was to revealing for my liking and the girls gave me the wide eyes saying I had the body to pull it off. So, since they know a lot more than me about the fashion this century, I wore what they choose but did my hair my own style. Naturally dead straight with a comb to rake through. I never and still don't like spending hours on hair and makeup.

April was coming to pick me up in 30 minutes and I was silently freaking out in my room. The world out there is so different now and I'm not sure if I can handle it. Like Jake said 'It's best to slowly try and get used to the new world, one step at a time' but I feel like I'm skipping too many steps at once. I'm sure it was just my nerves talking, but I was extremely nervous about this trip. I was pacing so much, I'm sure I wore right through the carpet.

As I heard the sound of a car pulling into the driveway, I knew it was too late to back out. I grabbed my purse and the credit card Jake insisted I used; I think he's just guilty about everything but he shouldn't blame himself. Walking down the stairs Jennifer waved me goodbye from the lounge and I gave her a small wave back heading towards the front door.

When I got to the front Jake was talking to April and when he sensed my presence he turned around and he froze. He looked taken back as he took me in. "What does it look bad?" I asked looking down at my outfit and I heard April chuckle by the door. I looked up to find her smirking, "Your outfits fine babe, he's just thinks you’re hot, come on lets go shopping" She said with a grin and I blushed ducking my head down walking past Jake and followed April to her car that was waiting outside.

I hopped into the passenger seat and April chuckles starting the car. I turned to face her with a frown, "What's so funny?" I ask and she smirks, "The tension between you too is adorable, do both you guys a favour alright mate soon before that poor guy faints" She said with a chuckle riving out of the driveway while I just stared at her in shock. Did she really just say that?!...
