It had taken weeks of begging on John’s part to even get his daughter to consider bringing her growing family back down to Texas for a visit. Cynthia and his wife had teamed up against him, nagging him into putting aside his pride to call Cassandra in the first place. Both wanted to see their grandchildren and didn’t much care what their husbands had to do to make it happen.
Cass yawned and stretched in her seat, readjusting the seatbelt around her large belly and casting an envious glance at her daughter sleeping soundly in her car seat. She sighed, looking out the window at her childhood home as her husband parked the car. It hadn’t been her father’s constant nagging that had convinced her to return, but her daughter’s innocent questions about her grandparents. She glanced over at Xander and bit her lip.
“Ready?”
Frank sighed and ran a hand through his hair, parking behind his Alpha. How he’d gotten talked into this, he still didn’t know. He glanced at Patience, eager for an excuse not to go in. “You sure you wanna do this?”

"Ready as I'll ever be." Xander sighed, playing with the car keys
"At least as sure as I was last time." Patience griped. she hated car trips. HATED.

“C’mon, then.” Cass sighed, struggling to get out of the car. Being pregnant with twins made everything difficult.
“Fine.” Frank sulked, getting out of the car. “Ignore my dad.”

Xander sighed and circled around, holding a hand out to help her.
Patience glanced in the backseat at their son, playing happily at a handheld game. "You. Half Pint. C'mon." The little boy smiled widely and followed his mom out of the car

Cass hauled herself up with his help, grinning slightly. “I am so ready for them to be born.”
“C’mere, Sean.” Frank grinned, holding out his hand for the toddler. “Ready to meet grandma and grandpa?”

“Yeah, then you can carry them.” Cass smiled and kissed his cheek. “Can you get Kait?”
Frank scooped the boy up and wrapped an arm around Patience.

Kait blinked and looked up, holding her arms out for him.
“C’mon.” Frank murmured, steering them towards Cass.

“Good.” Kait mumbled, resting her head on his shoulder and sucking her thumb.
Frank grunted.

“Uh huh.” Kait nodded and yawned. Cass laughed, smoothing her daughter’s hair before glancing up at Xander. “C’mon.”

John pulled open the door, scowling a little. He stepped aside to let them in, yelling back into the house. “The kids are here.”
Cynthia squealed and raced to the door, kissing Frank’s cheek before throwing her arms around Patience. Cass rolled her eyes and went inside, ignoring her father.

Patience wobbled a little and glanced at Frank for support
"Cassandra." a tall woman with the same delicate features as her daughter smiled slightly

“Ma, she can’t breathe.” Frank muttered. Cynthia giggled and let her go.
“I’m so glad you came!” She looked over her daughter-in-law, grinning widely, before glancing at Sean. “And who’s this handsome young man?”
“Hi, mom.” Cass smiled, reaching for Xander’s hand.

Sean stared at Cynthia with wide eyes. "No hugs!" he wailed.
"Sorry about him." Patience said nervously
"It's good to see you." the woman said shortly
