“Daddy, you already got me so much!”

Aunix grumbled something incomprehensible.

Chase laughed. “Okay, how about this. I’ll let you know if there’s anything we can’t get, okay?”

“Fine. Get some good quality stuff, baby, I can pay for it.”

“My job actually pays really well, don’t worry. I promise to tell you if I need anything else. And you can still buy me things I don’t need. Something you can enjoy too.”

Aunix hummed. “Such as…?”

“I dunno. Something to wear for you?” Chase suggested.

“Okay. Yeah. Do the pyjamas fit well? I guessed on the measurements.”

“They’re perfect.”

“Okay. Watch out for a package, then.”

“Okay. Thank you, Daddy.”

“You’re very welcome.”

There was a pause. “Does this mean we can talk on the phone whenever now?”

“Yeah. Whenever you want.”

“Okay. Good. I like hearing you talk.”

“Same here, baby,” Aunix responded, the smile clear in his voice.

Chase grabbed Joey and held him close to his chest, feeling like his heart might burst right out of it.

Surprisingly, shopping with Sammy turned out to be fun.

“Surprisingly?” Sammy echoed with a wrinkled nose when Chase said that out loud.

“What I mean is that the shopping bit has been surprisingly fun, not the you part. The you part was just fun,” Chase appeased.

“Hmph. And you better not forget it. Okay. How the hell are we gonna get all this up to your apartment?” he asked, hands on hips as they looked into the trunk of Chase’s car.

They’d gone to five different places. They’d bought art pieces and throws and rugs and tea towels and a lot of lamps. They’d even ordered a new dresser that had been a ridiculous three thousand dollars, as well as a couch that had been just as much. They’d even gone to a hardware store to get all the stuff they needed to set everything up.

“I have an idea,” Sammy said, answering his own question. He took his phone out, swiped something on the screen, and lifted it to his ear.

It rang as they got into the car, Chase sliding into the driver’s seat.

“Hey,” Sammy said as whoever was on the other end of the line picked up. “Can you meet us at Chase’s?…Because we need the help of a big, strong Alpha.”

Right, it was Noah on the other end of the line.

“Urgh, fine, we’ll just carry it all ourselves.” Sammy hung up with a roll of his eyes.

“So it’s just us, then?” Chase checked.

“Oh, no, he’ll show up. He just likes to complain,” Sammy said offhandedly.
