Chapter Seventeen

Cindy

Caleb was glued to the living room window. “Whoa. There’s a huge truck out there.”

“Oh, yeah?” Huge with a four-year-old was relative. But it was pretty impressive anyone managed to get a big truck up to Green Mountain. “What’s it doing?”

We were waiting on Bibi and her entourage, but that wasn’t exciting for them anymore. They’d accepted them as part of their lives.

That was what I loved about kids. If you were cool, you were in.

“They’re backing up! Coming to our house. Carter, come look.” Caleb pressed his face against the window, and Carter would have to position himself at the other window to have a chance to see anything.

The shrill beeping that confirmed Caleb’s claim pierced right between my eyes. I’d had more champagne than I’d drank in a while last night. And sleep? Right. That didn’t happen. Every creak of the old house had me out of bed, checking on the kids. If Carter’s claim was correct—he was half asleep, and his flair for embellishing the truth had to be considered—and I’d caught Pedro sneaking in here, he’d have to deal with me.

“Bibi’s here,” Carter said. “I think she’s moving in.”

“This is our territory,” Caleb protested.

“Don’t you dare.” I pressed my lips together not to laugh. As gross as this peeing-on-everything phase was, it was kind of funny. But they could never know Mom thought so. Not until they were old enough for me to embarrass them in front of their potential mates with baby pictures and mortifying stories.

“Good morning.” Bibi kissed my cheek and breezed in when I opened the door. She somehow managed to make a velour running suit look stylish. When I wore sweats, I looked like I’d gone through the washing machine with them. “I hope you got your beauty sleep last night, because we’re getting straight to work.”

“Are you moving in?” Carter asked.

“I have my own cute little bungalow on Colorado Ranch. Right near the mercantile, so the next time you stop and see Miss Jenny and Miss Gretta for some pie, you can come see my house.”

Caleb wrinkled his nose in confusion. “What’s a bungalow?”

“A fancy little house perfect for Aunt Bibi,” I laughed. “Seriously though, what are we doing?”

A cluster of people stood on my front lawn. The shifters looked familiar, but the humans didn’t.

“I told you that the makeover started today. Meet Sarah, Annie, and Jani. All of them are interested in babysitting, so I thought it would be a good idea for everyone to get to know each other in a low-pressure setting. Then when you have a date, or maybe you just need some time to yourself, you’ll have someone to call.”

I waved to them. I knew Sarah and Annie from the pack, and Jani was a Colorado Ranch wolf. They were all good candidates. They’d face scrutiny from our pack for helping me out, but I loved that they were here anyway. “Thank you so much. If the kids give you any trouble, let me know. Something tells me Bibi will be keeping me busy this morning.
