Chapter 89

After returning home, Scott carried Mitch back to their room so Mitch could get some much needed rest. Avi took Kirstie's certificate, which he had to force the Counsel Beta to print out (because apparently no one ever asks for those things), and he taped it to the refrigerator. Like the proud dad he is. Alex had just sulked back to his room, hoping to be left alone. Unfortunately, with Scott preoccupied with Mitch's illness, and Avi trying to reward Kirstie for a job well done, no one noticed him disappear. Scott only noticed, about an hour later, when he came running down the stairs to grab Mitch a bottle of water. He'd heard Kirstie and Avi laughing loudly at one of Kirstie's favorite movies, and smiled. If it wasn't for his Alpha sense of smell, he probably would've forgot that Alex was even in the house. But he could sense Alex's sadness all the way across the house, and immediately walked down the hallway to knock on his door. "Xand? You in there?" Alex didn't hear him over the sound of his crying, which caused Scott to enter the room loudly. The first thing he saw was Alex sitting in a corner of the room with Wyatt in his lap.
