The Wolves Beneath the Sanctuary

Chapter 205 Emotional Rollercoaster

Conri Inti quietly slides off Umayza’s lap after she falls asleep in my arms and Evander and I head back to our parent’s cottage. I place her on the bed before we head down the stairs to ask Mom to keep an eye on her and we both head back to our cottage to get some more work done. By the time our cottage is done the new Pack-house is finished as well, we decide to stay at our parent’s cottage to pack up our belongings and suddenly we hear the Alpha howl. A howl that notifies the Pack that their Alphas are expecting a Pup and the three of us join the rest of the Pack in their howls. Mom and Dad have been helping with decorating the cottage and Umayza has been looking at furniture for the nursery, which by the way isn’t an easy task. She wants everything in natural colors, but Evander and I want more bold colors and we found out fast that her hormones are all over the place. She cries if we argue with her on something and she cries when we agree with her on something. Dad told us to learn to live with it and if we never wanted to go through this again we better keep it at one pregnancy, which of course resulted in Umayza crying. She changed her mind about the crib almost as often as she changed her mind on the interior of the kitchen and eventually Evander and I just decided to go with her first choice for the kitchen, which was the right call to make for some reason. Every piece of furniture in the house has been a struggle to agree on and most of the time Umayza changed her mind within a minute of making a choice. After four of those discussions we decided to go with her first choice on everything and we let her change her mind as often as she wanted, but in the end sticking with her first choice turned out to be the best decision. I honestly think that we would still have an empty cottage if we had to wait for Umayza to make a final decision and I am glad we listened to Ma when she told us that we should always go with Umayza’s first choice. Umayza If anyone had told me about this emotional rollercoaster I would be on during this pregnancy I might have changed my mind, I might have said hell No to getting pregnant. I have no idea where my Mates are finding the patience they need with me, but I am glad they found it somewhere. I have been going back and forth when it comes to the decisions on the interior of our cottage and somehow they managed to get everything done the way I like, from the living room to the kitchen. The only thing we don’t agree on is the nursery and I am about to commit murder. I don’t know who the hell told them it would be a good idea to suggest we paint the ceiling lime green and the walls a blueish color. We don’t even know if we are having three boys, three girls or a mix of the two and by the way these three are acting I doubt we will find out before they get born.Both of my Mates are dead set against natural colors and after another outburst on my end, Papa took both of them with him. He had send Mama my way to calm me down a little and after she found out what had happened she contacted Ma and Asilda. I had told them that none of the nursery ideas I found were exactly what I was looking for, that there were some ideas that held something I liked and they asked me to tell them what I did like. Unlike the rest of the cottage my idea on the nursery hadn’t changed and it still looks the same in my head right now. I wanted the walls in a sand color and after looking at the different colors there are I settled on sandstorm with them. When it came to the furniture we determent that wee needed enough space for their clothing and what not, so there is a large changing table against one wall and it is large enough to change all three of them at the same time. A walk-in closet for their clothing and stock of diapers and wipes, the day to day diapers and wipes will be in the changing table and everything else we will need on a daily bases. When I told Mama about the rocking-chairs she suggested glider-chairs with ottomans instead and after seeing a few of them I was sold. We decided on gray swivel gliders with matching ottomans and light gray round cribs with crème colored crib bedding. With two windows in the nursery we chose to put a crib on the left of the windows, a crib on the right of the windows and a crib in between both windows. How and where to place the chairs is something they will determent when everything is placed inside the nursery, yeah I decided to have Mama, Ma and Asilda decorate the nursery while we are at the Academy. Dad, Papa and Orion will help them out and everything will be done by the time we get back. We still have to pack our stuff at the Academy and we will also pack up everything belonging to Dad and Asilda, before we head home after the trial. Something I am not really looking forward to, I won’t relive the pain and emotions but I will have to recount everything and I know it will cause a lot of anger and grieve. Evander and Conri ask me what I need to take with me for our time at the Academy and I tell them I have everything there I might need, “Is there a change you might no longer fit in to it?” Conri asks and the tears start streaming again, I know he wasn’t being mean but my hormones just react. “Sorry, Little One. I know this isn’t easy, but it is something I have to ask. Can you imagine if you have nothing that fits anymore and you have to go to the Courtroom in my sweats and shirt?” He asks and despite everything I burst out in laughter.
