Everly POV

When Macey returned home, she brought dinner with her, and tucked inside her handbag was a folder of documents.

She sets the Chinese containers on the bench, and I start pulling down some plates and start serving, only to be scolded by Kalen.

“Everly, you’re supposed to be in bed.Do you not know what bedrest is?” he says, clicking his tongue.

“I have sat in bed all afternoon, Kal.I am fine,” he shakes his head, helping me to serve the kids dinner who were perched in their chairs around the table.

Zoe was getting released from the hospital the next day.She rang earlier, and thankfully the nurse had given her some makeup, so she didn’t freak Casey out.

My father was waiting with her until Marcus returned, but I wasn’t willing to tell her where it was Marcus went and why.

Though I think she knew because there was only one reason that would make Marcus leave her side, and that was revenge.

“You okay?” I ask Macey, touching her arm, but she pulls away from me, smiling the fakest smile I had ever seen on her face.

I narrow my eyes at her, and she sighs.

“Sorry, I’m on edge.All this rogue stuff, the hotel, Zoe.” I swallowed, nodding and turning to flick the kettle on.

“Tea only Everly,” Kalen scolds.

Geez, now I know where Valen gets it from.

“Yes, Dad!” Macey and I say simultaneously, and he chuckles.

“I will eat in the room with you.I need to speak to you about something anyway.Something not for kids’ ears,” she says, and I nod just as Kalen chimes in.

“Great idea!You girls get settled, and I will bring some trays in and make tea!your “he says, looking at me before pushing us out of the kitchen.

“Hang on,”

 “No.Shoo, shoo!Make her sit down.I caught her trying to bleach the damn bathroom!Watch her,” Kalen scolds.

“She is nesting, leaving her.Besides, she cleans when she is nervous,” Macey defends me.

Besides this sitting around was annoying, and I didn’t like how everyone fussed.I get their concerned, but I was damn near going insane from it.

“Not with my three grC?she doesn’t.She is supposed to be on bed rest.We want them babies to stay in as long as possible,” Kalen tells Macey.

“Fine.Just let me get some Panadol, these cramps have been the worst.Stupid monthly’s!” she curses, and I blink at her confused.

“Wait.You still get your period?” I ask her

“Ah, yeah.I am a female,” Macey says.

” What do you think?The hysterectomy turned me into a man?” she curses, shaking her head.

Kalen looks at her funny, and I look at him.

Macey retrieves her panadol from above the stove, popping two pills with a glass of water.

As she turns, she notices us staring at her.

“What?” she asks.

“You said you had a full hysterectomy?”
