“This is allsoexciting!” She smiled at both of them.

Chapter Thirty Seven

September Twenty Third

Juniper

“Happy birthday.” Wolfie made his way to her side of the bed to set her cup of coffee down and crawled over her to get to the middle.

She groaned as he kissed her, “It’s too early.”

“Well you don’t have to work today, we could go see how the groundbreaking is going for our home. The Council approved our floor plan and the extra bedroom in the family cabin was a nice addition.” He kissed her bare shoulder, “Come on, you don’t have to work today. Let's get up.” He swatted her butt and left the bed, headed for the bathroom.

Her phone beeped and she stretched out to pick it up.

Brittanya, ‘Happy birthday! Can we do something today? Maybe dinner over here?’

“Brittanya wants to know if we can have dinner over at their place tonight?”

He closed the door behind him, “That sounds good to me.”

Juniper ‘Sounds good.’

She had a few other messages from Marilyn, Whitney and Golden wishing her a happy birthday. Marilyn had also sent her fifty credits to buy herself something nice as well. Brittanya’s response popped on her screen.

Brittanya ‘Great! I’ll get everything and everyone ready. You just show up at six. Bring Wolfie.’

Her heart stopped at the sound of an airplane flying in. “It’s Placement Day.”

Wolfgang entered the room shutting Zeppelin out, “Do you need a distraction from that?” His arms slid to her, feeling her bare stomach under the sheets.

“Yes.” She rolled into him.

Before heading over they took a detour to see the progress on their build. Things had just started, so it was just dirt moved around, but that was still exciting for them. Juniper had suggested an island version of the family cabin, making it a little bigger downstairs and adding another bedroom upstairs for a full time family home. Their view was beautiful inside and out.

He opened the passenger door to the Jeep letting June and Zeppelin out at her old place. Wolfie stopped to kiss her on the doorstep, some habits never die. “Let’s get this started.” June knocked.

The door swung open and Brittanya jumped out hugging June as if she hadn’t seen her in months. “You’re here!” Zeppelin joined the commotion by jumping on them as well.

“Wolfie.” She gave him a generous side hug. “Come in. We decided to do a little cooking on the grill.”

Wolfie closed the door, “Who’s grilling?”

“Fade, Max is back there supervising if you want to join them.” The sliding door opened and Zeppelin was joining the guys as Wolfie stepped out.

A door down the hall had closed, “Ugh.” Shianne appeared, “Don’t get pregnant, you’ll have to pee every ten minutes.” She waddled. “I also have heartburn up to my eyeballs.” She slowly plopped on the couch.

“Is Whitney outside?” June was surprised she hadn’t seen or heard her yet.

“Uh, Margaret actually called her up to her office today. Fade came alone but I think she should be here soon.”

“Oh okay, is it work related?”

Brittanya shrugged with wide eyes. Juniper headed towards the back and squeezed past the door. “Hey.” She smiled at Fade and Max. Wolfie was in the back of the yard playing with Zeppelin and she wandered over. “Hi.” She stood next to him.

“Hey.” He kissed her and put his arm over her shoulder, “I was just thinking, we should have brought pie.” He smiled at her, “This yard reminds me of a good pie. Actually two good pies.”
