Werewolf Boyfriend: Freddie 4 (special preview)

I huff. “She would still want you to get your bed rest.”

“She’d want you to get your bed rest,” Freddie argues with a yawn. He snuggles and presses his cheek to my chest. “We can call my mom.”

“I don’t wanna bother her again. She’s been doing so much for us.” I look at my phone again as the hour changes. A text message then pops up.

“I’m making a coffee run for myself, would you guys want anything?” The message from Ella is almost enough to make you cry. 

“We would love that. But be warned, we’ve both not slept all night.” You reply.

Not long after, Ella arrives with a box of coffee as well as two big bags of food. “What’s this I hear about you not sleeping?”

Freddie shuffles into the kitchen and sighs. “We kept having to make sure one baby didn’t wake up the other two.”

Ella looks us over, concern painted on her face. “I’ll take care of things,” she says as she takes off her jacket. “You two go to sleep. I’ll watch over the pups while you catch up.”

“We can’t ask you to do that,” you argue. 

“I want to,” she says sternly. “I care about both of you. You two need sleep and probably a good shower too.” She smiles at us. “Get some rest, let me help.”

You and Freddie are both hesitant to accept this help, especially from Ella. It felt like you were being a burden but she was so eager to help. She easily tucks you both into bed and within an instant you’re both asleep, falling into a slumber you both needed.

When you wake up you hear a soft laugh coming from the nursery. When you get there, you see Ella cooing over Heathcliff after changing his diaper. She looks up as you come in and tucks Heathcliff back into bed.

“Did you sleep well?” She asks.

“You’re too good to be true,” you murmur.

“I care about you and Freddie,” she says. “You don’t have to feel bad for asking for my help.” She walks up to me. “Why don’t you get a shower? The babies are down and I can keep an eye out for them.”

I frown. “No, it’s ok. You can go if you need to.”

Ella puts her hand on my shoulder. “Come on now.” She gives me a push then looks to Tiny. “You remember the drill, you come get me if they need me.”

Tiny wags his tail as Ella walk me back to the bedroom. She takes me into the bathroom and turns the water on.

“You don’t have to babysit me,” I chuckle.

“Mm, what’s going on?” Freddie walks in, rubbing his eyes and yawning loudly.

Ella chuckles. “Oh wow, look at the beard on you. I’ve never seen you this scruffy before.” She rubs his chin and a smile spreads on Freddie’s face.

“It’s been hard to find the time.”

“Well, now is the time,” Ella says. “I’m here to make sure you two are well taken care of.”

“Are you trying out to be our wife?” Freddie says the comment off handedly but the blush that spreads across Ella’s face is anything but.

Ella clears his throat and takes towels out of the linen cabinet. “You both should take a shower. I’ll heat up the food and coffee.” She rushes out of the bathroom and you lean closer to Freddie.
