Mommy's pretending

In the morning, Lara collected the kids' things and cleaned the cabin from the mess before delivering the bags to Nate and waking up the cubs.

She was in a good mood after the fright of the night before. She managed to smile at everyone and take care of her family in the only way she knew.

She combed Scarlet's hair while Nate helped Jaden wear new clothes. Then, she offered her hands to the twins and followed Nate outside.

«Are we going back, mommy?»

«We are,» Lara said.

«Home?»

«To the base.»

«When will we go home with grandma?»

«I don't know, Jaden. Soon.»

«I want to sleep in my room,» he complained. «And to draw in peace. Scarlet always makes a mess when we draw together.»

«Hey!» the girl hummed, but she didn't add anything. She was still sleeping while walking, even though she had heard Jaden's tone. He was complaining, for sure!
