Chapter 48: 48 A Small Request

"Yes, I will do that for you. I Have been waiting for an opportunity to be able to help you out over the last few years. I know that I was still too young to be able to help you out but this time is different. I can and will protect the clan that you are building here. If she is to be your mate, I will protect her with all that I can." Luke looks at Leo and smiles.

Leo lets out a small sigh, "yes, she is the one I have chosen to love for the rest of my life. I have a package on the way and I want you to pick it up and not to let Kitty find out about it. It's an engagement ring. I want it to be a complete surprise."

"You can count on me. I'm the one who usually goes into town and collects the mail so it shouldn't be too hard to keep it from Kitty. Does it have a tracking number? If it does can you send it to me so I can track it. That way I can make sure I go alone." Luke covers his mouth with his hand. 'At least he is thinking about this seriously.'

Kitty looks up at Cindy. "All done? That was fast."

"The guys are moving the bigger things into the nursery. I was asked about the paint you bought. Are you going to paint the nursery? It might do you some good to air the room out and paint some pictures on the wall. Do you need help getting the stroller out of the box?" Cindy looks at the open box and walks towards it.

"I will start painting the room tomorrow. The paints are packed in one of the containers. I was thinking for a theme I would paint friendly cute animals, a tree that is colorful, maybe some flowers, grass and some over plant life. When the baby is born I will add in a baby fox with the gender of the baby so it'll match." Kitty looks at the box and sighs. "It is rather inconvenient that I have to ask for help in most of the things I need to do. Yes, please can you get the stroller and car seat out of the box."

Cindy turns the box upside down so the stroller and car seat slide out. Once the box is empty she places it to the side and sits down. "I just know that anything you paint will turn out adorable. May I suggest that you add the baby name under that baby that you paint? I think it would be a lovely idea. That way when you two have more children you and anyone who sees the painting knows who the child is."

"Thank you for your help. I think that is a lovely idea. I will write the name using calligraphy. That would look amazing." Kitty separates the stroller and car seat and then starts to remove the plastic that is wrapped on the stroller. Once the plastic is removed she took the bar and added it to the stroller. She leaned over and picked up the car seat and clicked it in place on the stroller. "This is such a beautiful shade of blue. I am really glad that I was able to get everything we did yesterday. Let's head upstairs so we can unpack the toys and clothes I grabbed." Kitty turns to head up the stairs.

"You have really good taste in everything, Kitty. I think using calligraphy is a wonderful plan. I am glad that I could help you to be inspired." Cindy follows Kitty up the stairs.

"I will send you the tracking information." Leo looks at the stairs and the drags Luke back into the room. "Here." Leo starts to hand him parts for the crib.

Luke feels himself being dragged back into the room. He stays silent and takes the first piece. 'I wonder if the girls are coming up the stairs?' As he thinks this, then he hears the two coming up the stairs.

Leo had emptied the box and was now looking at the instructions. "First we need part A and part B there should be stickers on the pieces marking them."

Kitty goes into the room. "Darling, leave this we can get it built another time. The contractor is going to be here at any moment now. Also, it looks like I forgot to grab a changing table and also a dresser." She looks around the somewhat empty room and all the people inside. "That is enough for today." She walks over to Leo and kissed the top of his head while blushing.

Leo feels her kiss and when she moves away he stands up. "If there is anything you have forgotten to buy it is very easy to order it online and have it delivered. In our bedroom, there is a laptop I use for leisure and not for work. You can use it and also here." He pulls out his wallet and hands her his credit card. "Use this to order whatever you need. If you need new paint or even more then just order it. I would give you my bank card but that would look weird if I am missing both."

Luke looked at the credit card and his eyes sparkle. "Would I be able to get a reward for helping move and helping set up everything for the baby's arrival?" He looks at Leo hopefully. 'I really want to get the new lightbox and royal and langnickel deluxe sketching artist box set. I could also use a few more sketchbooks and tracing paper.'

"If it comes to under three hundred dollars then you can get them. I know you are in need of new art supplies and since Kitty will be ordering things just show her what you really want and she will in charge of ordering it for you. Don't let him go overboard. He will keep adding things unless you stop him. I made that mistake once." Leo shakes his head. They all here the doorbell ring. "I'll be back." Leo leaves the room and heads to the front door. "Hey, John. You didn't see me at home and my girlfriend is the one who requested you to come and renovate a room."

John walks in. "Of course! Your girl is the one who requested the work and I never saw you at home. I was told that you were on vacation. What room and how does it need to be done?"

Kitty was in the nursery and she transforms and her ears disappear. "I think it would be better if I help direct how the room is to be done. After all, it is going to be my study. Luke I know Leo is going to limit you but if it goes over a little he won't complain much, so think hard on what you want and we will place the order after he leaves."

"OH!!!! Thank you, thank you!!!" Luke jumps up and gives Kitty a hug. "You are very elegant when your ears don't show but I think I like it better when you are in your more natural state. I don't have control right now so you can go ahead and I will start to build the crib." He grabs the instructions and the screws.

"I will stay here and help Luke. Do not wear yourself out too much." Cindy warns and starts to help Luke.
