when they get back, so I thought we could make a couple of large lasagnas, garlic bread with cheese, and peanut butter cream cheese cake for desert.”
“Mark, you’re going to need a bigger piece of paper.” Jaycee grinned and he moaned. Jaycee frowned at him. “What?”
“We weren’t invited to dinner, Jaycee.” Mark grinned.
Jaycee threw a piece of bacon at him.
Tug laughed. “You are
all invited. I have a feeling we will be going through all the files tonight.
Mark, Rory can go with you to the grocery store, if you don’t mind stopping at his house so he can grab more of his things.”
Mark nodded. “I have the truck, so I see no problem with that.
Okay, Cecil, start writing down what you need.” He pushed the paper to her and she began writing her list.
She glanced up at Mark. “We’re going to need two huge backing dishes. You know, the tin ones? Tug already has one, but I figured we’re going to need three of them.” She got up and opened the top cupboard and jumped to get the pan when Tug came up behind her.
He laughed, reaching up and grabbing the pan down for her. “Hey, I can’t help it if I’m short.” She turned, showing Mark the pan, and he nodded.
“Just put down baking pan and I’ll know what you want.”
Cecil moved back to her seat as Rory came down the stairs. “Mark is going to go with you to your place, then stop by the grocery store for us.” Tug pulled her up out of her seat and sat down with her in her lap.
“Sounds like a plan. Mom called and she has some things for Cecil, so I’ll bring them back with me.” He leaned down and kissed her.
“She’s thrilled I found my mate and she can’t wait to meet you.”
Cecil glanced up at him. “She won’t be too happy when she learns I’m a freak. Maybe you should wait to invite them over here, Rory.” She tapped the pen on the table.
He grabbed her chin and frowned down at her. “I don’t want to hear that again, Cecil. You’re not a freak,” he said. “But I will wait until we get this mess cleared up. Ready, Mark?”
“Yep, got the list. Sheila, both of you stay in the house,” he ordered and stood up, heading to the door.
“Yes, almighty alpha!” Jaycee snapped. “Like we have anywhere to go.”
“Don’t get smart. That ass still gets red.” Mark growled and slammed the front door.

Tug lifted Cecil up, going to lock the door.
“You know, I have enough to make one more batch of biscuits, so let’s start those now,” she said.

Chapter Seven
Tug sat at the table drinking a cup of coffee as he watched all three women in the kitchen making biscuits. Jaycee was covered in flour, Sheila had spilled the milk down her shirt, and Cecil just laughed, cleaning up their messes.
Jaycee leaned over, smelling the coffee. “You know, the only thing I truly miss about being pregnant is my coffee.”
“You can’t drink coffee when you’re pregnant?” Cecil reached over, grabbing Tug’s coffee cup from the table. “I’ve never really tried it.”
She took a sip and frowned. “Yuck! How can you drink that stuff?”
Jaycee laughed. “You should try the hazelnut coffee. Oh my God, it’s so good. Hold on.” Jaycee grabbed her cell phone and called Mark.
“Mark, grab a big tin of that hazelnut coffee.” She glanced at the phone and growled. “I know I can’t drink it, fool. It’s for Cecil.” Jaycee rolled her eyes.
Cecil looked at the door. “They’re back.”
Jaycee shut the phone and glanced at the door as he got up and walked towards the front door. Sure enough, two trucks sat in the driveway. The timer went off in the kitchen as Cecil got up, getting the biscuits out of the oven.
Sam and his two partners came into the house, followed by Remi, Dane, and the doctor carrying files, samples, and boxes of things.
“Sam, were there any survivors?” Cecil came around the counter and stared at all of them.
He shook his head and sat down in the
