Chapter Thirteen

Jax sighed and put her aching feet on the coffee table. She felt like she had spent the last fourteen hours training when, in reality, she’d done nothing but spend the day with the kids. How the hell can I be so tired? Jax wondered as she smothered another yawn.

“Here.” Reven said as he handed her a short glass.

Jax sniffed it and quickly gulped down the burning liquid before handing him back the glass. “More.” She croaked as he grinned and went back into the kitchen to grab the bottle of whiskey and another glass.

Jax put her feet down and leaned forward when Reven sat across from her. She watched as he filled both glasses before putting the bottle on the coffee table. He handed her one glass and lifted the other to his lips and swallowed it as quickly as Jax had.

The part of her that just refused this whole mate business, took it as a challenge. She grabbed the glass from him and downed it before refilling it. As if staying a drink ahead of Reven was the most important thing for her to think about right now.

Reven narrowed his eyes and refilled his own glass. He knew it was stupid, and he knew it was only a way for Jax to escape her worries and fears for Melina. However, right now, doing something they were both familiar with, even if it was childish, seemed to feel more comforting. For both of them, he thought before he swallowed another shot.

He knew it would take more than this one bottle of whiskey to get them drunk. Even though the hybrid’s metabolisms weren’t as fast as theirs, it was still fast enough to prevent Jax from getting drunk.

Even so, the slight buzz they would feel wouldn’t be a bad thing, Reven thought as he refilled their glasses before he leaned back against the chair cushions.

“How can I feel this tired when I didn’t do anything today? I don’t understand it.” Jax complained as she fluffed the pillows behind her before leaning back with a sigh.

Reven chuckled. “You were a parent today.”

“Yes, that doesn’t explain why I’m so tired when I didn’t do anything.” Jax argued as she drank another shot.

Reven chuckled again. “You’re looking at it wrong. How many times did you lift and carry Bayla today? How much does she weigh? Multiply it. How many times did you squat down? Pick up a dropped toy? Change a diaper? Just the day to day care of a child is a workout. Just not the kind you’re used to thinking of.”

Jax thought about it and even multiplied her guess of how many times she lifted Bayla that day and was pretty surprised. If she added in all the squats and other activities, she could now understand why most mothers looked haggard and worn out. Her respect for those women grew.

“Yeah, you have a point.” Jax admitted grudgingly.

Reven smiled and nodded at Jax, surprised that she admitted he was right about something.
