“ OK, one solo appointment, one family fiasco, coming right up!” I said just before the Doc’s receptionist picked up.
Felix’s Point of View
In order to appease Chasity, ‘Baby boy’ Calix made a therapy appointment so that both of our dysfunctional families could reconcile. I couldn’t even blame him. I had to admit that we needed professional help.
I really wasn’t the type of guy to spend the day discussing my feelings, but for Chasity, I would. Doctor Jardine came highly recommended, according to Alex. Apparently, she was both a psychiatrist and a psychologist. I could only imagine the shit-ton of boring ass books she’d read to achieve all that. She was sitting in an armchair directly across from us. My baby, Chasity, sat between Calix and Alex, whilst I pulled the short straw, and got the end seat of the couch. My eyes swept over Chasity often, just checking on her, and making sure she was all right. I really didn’t want her to be stressed out at all, especially not during her pregnancy. She had already been through an ordeal during the early days of her pregnancy. Stress wasn’t good for my pups.
I glanced at my Mom and Dad, who were both sitting to our left on a separate couch. Mom seemed nervous like hell, while Dad was impassive. Chasity’s parents and grandfather shared the couch to our right.
“Welcome Alphas, Luna and family,” said the Doctor serenely, smiling widely.
Her warm welcome was met with an awkward silence.
“Thanks,” I muttered, just to break the ice.
“Let me just make sure I have all of your names right, as well your relations to each other,” said Dr Jardine.
“Alpha Calix, you called,” said Doc, looking right at Calix.
Calix nodded eagerly. I exchanged glances with both of my brothers. I knew we were all thinking the same thing. We were shocked she could tell us apart so easily.
“Alpha Alex, we spoke on the phone to confirm a few family details yesterday,” she added calmly.
Alex nodded, though it wasn’t really a question. She seemed quite certain of her facts. She was probably just making sure everyone was mentally checked in. Chasity’s parents seemed somewhat dazed. The more details they learnt about Chasity’s childhood, the more distant they became. I couldn’t even blame them. If someone treated my pups the way my parents had treated Chasity, I would be livid.
“Alpha Felix? Is everything okay?” Asked the Doctor.
Pay attention, she called you like three times, grumbled Alex over mind-link.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Um, present,” I said, like I was in grade school.
“And we have former Alpha Romeo and former Luna Ronnie,” said Dr Jardine, smiling kindly at my parents.
“Technically, I’m not the former Luna. I’m still acting as Luna, while Chasity gets ready to take the position. She’s not married to my boys yet,” explained Mom.
“I understand your point, but she is, for all intensive purposes, their Luna. She appears to be marked, and pregnant with their heirs,” said Dr Jardine, smiling in a way that made it difficult to tell whose side she was on.
“And we have Chase, Chalice and Chance, the parents and maternal grandfather of Luna Chasity,” she said, still smiling serenely.
Chasity’s relatives nodded, and managed a few weak smiles.
“So, we’re all here to iron out any old grudges, and seek a greater level of harmony within this family,” said Dr Jardine.
“Yes,” Said Chasity quickly, speaking for the first time.
Chase made a disapproving noise with his throat, and my Mom let out a little exasperated huff. Why were all of our parents less mature than us? I resisted the urge to roll my eyes so early in the session.
“Who would like to start?” asked Dr Jardine.
“I would,” I replied, without hesitation.
My eyes instinctively went to Chasity again. My little minx met my gaze and winked.
“Chasity is my mate, my Luna, the mother of my…our…heirs,” I said, correcting myself as I went along.
I didn’t want to exclude my brothers, even though I personally felt I had placed those buns in Chasity’s oven.
“But, that’s now. Before Chasity turned eighteen, she wasn’t a part of the family,” I admitted.
There was no point in bullshitting our way through this. It was time to be honest. Chasity deserved honesty. Her childhood hardships could not just be swept under a rug. We needed to acknowledge what had gone wrong.
“She shares a birthday with us triplets, by the way, but my parents chose not to celebrate hers,” I said, anger and shame colouring my tone.
My father actually growled. What the fuck?! I hadn’t even really started to explain anything yet. How could he be mad already? How could he be mad at the truth? At least, Mom had the decency to shush him. I continued speaking, undaunted.
“She came to us when she was nine. My brothers and I were twelve. She was tearful and distraught most days, and my parents…they made it worse,” I said frankly, and they weren’t the only ones making things more difficult for sweet little Chasity.
“I make no excuses for myself. I was a bully, a little jerk, but my parents were adults. Chasity was just a child, no birthday or Christmas presents, only permitted to have donated clothes or hand-me-downs. She couldn’t eat meals with us. She cooked. She cleaned. She was like a little maid. I’m not sure why we even expected her to ever be in a good mood. We had no right to consider her sullen. What did she have to be happy about? Nothing. And what was the point of my parents treating her so…subpar?” I said, ignoring my incensed father.
He was acting like I was lying about him or something.
“We didn’t get presents for Chasity. She did get hand-me-downs. Forgive me but she was treated as though unwanted because she was unwanted,” Dad blurted out angrily.
