After I filled Nikki in about the lack of change in the baby girl's position, Mikko changed the focus of the conversation completely. "Follow me to my house so you can get settled in before the party."
Nikki and I stared at each other and asked "What party?" simultaneously.
"The pack is coming together to meet you."
"An earlier warning wouldn't have been better?"
He shrugged. "Follow."
Nikki handed Mike their car keys. She was going to ride with me because Mikko was going to take one of the trucks parked outside. The truck was probably his.
Nikki and I were both irritated when we got back in the car to follow him. We didn't say anything, but we both huffed ever so often, thinking about this dumb party. We didn't like parties sprang on us without a good amount of advanced warning. Especially now that it took me so long to get changed and ready.
"I hope he has clean sheets," Nikki muttered as we pulled up.
