Kennedy
Iwas freaking out.
Storm was coming to my place to spend time with Char and go through our nighttime routine. He had come by for a morning with her, but this felt somehow more…intimate?
First, we were going to meet up for coffee and cake. Luckily for Storm, caffeine was one of the few reasons I would dare to leave the house with my grumpy, teething toddler. It was one of my rare days off, so I bundled Charlotte into her stroller and made my way to campus.
The day before with Micha had been amazing. We had both done so much studying, but in a nice, companionable calm. Whenever Charlotte had started fussing, he scooped her up and amused her, so I could work.
It was actually the most productive study session I’d had in months. The only downside was that my vagina had ideas of its own, practically crying for the alpha’s attention. There was zero question of my attraction to him, and I wasn’t sure what to do with that.
As we passed the duck pond, Charlotte reached out her hands and made little grunting noises. She wasn't quite making words yet, but she would make the D sound for ducks.
“I'm so sorry, sweet girl. We'll be going there after Mama’s seen her friend,” I assured her, even though she probably didn’t understand me.
Charlotte loved feeding the ducks. I had a small bag of peas in her stroller, and usually, we stopped on the way to campus, but I had decided to let Storm join in on the way back to our place. Part of me felt like a monster for denying her, because she was used to going to the duckies first, but I thought it would be a nice bonding activity for her and Storm.
Luckily, she only fussed for a few minutes before she became enraptured by the sights and noises of campus life. We weren’t at the age of extra-large tantrums yet, thankfully, and I was honestly dreading those days.
Storm was waiting for me inside the café. He was sitting at a quiet table in the corner, talking to a blonde girl who was also gently rocking a stroller. She was stunning, almost painfully so. Why was Storm talking to her?
An irrational jealousy gripped me. I knew what Storm was like. He was a manwhore through and through, so I shouldn't have been shocked by him talking to another woman. Then again, he seemed so adamant that he was going to change now that he’d learned he had a child.
Apparently, this omega also had a child.
Storm’s head lifted, and he broke into a giant grin when he saw me. Pushing his chair back, he hurried over to me, pulling me into a hug. Despite my unhappiness, I melted into it, inhaling that fresh rain scent that I was enraptured by.
“Kennedy, thank you for coming! Do you want something to drink or some cake?”
I nodded. “Iced coffee and a slice of chocolate cake.”
“I’ll order that.” He looked back at the table, where the blonde was beaming over at us. She looked genuinely pleased to see me, which threw me for a loop.
“I am sorry to do this, but Sunny and my nephew, Luka, are over there. I will tell her to go away if you don't want to meet her now. But she has been hovering because I accidentally let it slip that we were meeting up.”
Relief washed over me. It was his family, not anything more sinister. Did I even have a right to be upset if it was a girl he was wanting to date? It wasn't like Storm and I were in a relationship. Sometimes I got the impression that he wanted to be in a relationship with me, but given the whole situation with our daughter, we had to take things very, very slow. If he was still seeing other women, then there was no chance in hell that we would work out.
“I'd like to meet her,” I said with a smile as Storm bent down and greeted Charlotte warmly.
“Hey, Miss Sweet Angel. Have you been good for your mama today?”
I frowned. “Sort of. She's definitely deciding that sleep deprivation is the way forward, but I'm hoping it's a phase.”
Storm grimaced. “Well, we'll have to make sure that you manage to get some rest. Even if Little Miss isn't,” he said, standing up. “I'll go order your coffee. Do you want to wait here? I can introduce you to Sunny once I’ve ordered your much-needed caffeine.”
“No, I'll go take a seat. I want to meet her.” I smiled. Curiosity was tugging at me.
Storm nodded and made his way toward the counter. I pushed the stroller in the direction of the table where Sunny was sitting. They had picked an ideal one, with plenty of space for strollers.
“Hey! You must be Kennedy. It’s so nice to meet you!” Sunny cooed as she stood up, pulling me in for a surprisingly strong hug. Her scent was overwhelmingly omega, sweet and tart lemon. It was one I could happily be around for hours.
“Hi, it’s nice to meet you.” I smiled, hugging her back.
“We are family now! I’m so excited. Is this Charlotte?” she asked, looking down at the stroller with a bright smile.
“It is!” I said, looking down at my baby, whose attention was firmly on Sunny’s golden yellow hair.
