throat. “And I’ll still love you forever if you help with the diapers.”
    “I can do better than help,” he replied with a wink. Imogen held his hands out in front of him, his eyelids fluttering for a moment, and then three thumb-size stones appeared in his palm. He handed them to Avery and explained.
    “One for each father. Simply hold onto it at the same time as your daughter and give it a simple command such as, ‘clean diaper,’ or ‘bath,’ or ‘change of clothes.’ But just keep them simple and one at a time. And I didn’t know how to add in powdering and all of that. I’ve never been a father or around ones so young much.”
    “Can I keep your mate?” Avery whimpered as he kissed Imogen on the cheek. “I’m sorry you had to run here for sanctuary, but damn I’m glad you chose us.”
    “This is so friggin cool!” Ty exclaimed. “So you’re really three thousand years old?”
    “In human years I’m three thousand two hundred and thirty-seven. Time goes by much faster in our world. But I have not lived there all of my life and visit this plane quite often.”
    “The things you must have seen,” Cord said as he snapped out of his daze and picked up the mixing bowl. He went back to breakfast as I grabbed my coffee again. Luckily I’d only dropped it a few inches and didn’t spill it.
    “What would you like to know?” Imogen asked with a wicked grin on his face.

Chapter 5

    We spent the next hour listening to Imogen tell us many truths about history that none of us knew while we ate and laughed. For instance, that the ancient Greeks actually left a donkey and not a horse.
    It was a symbol representing the Greek god Dionysus who was the god of civilization, as some books say, others say he wasn’t, so the Trojans took it as a peace offering… But really the Greeks were calling them jackasses for falling for their trick.
    The girls acted like perfect angels, but then Avery said it was getting close to their naptime, and they wanted to show us something first.
    I really got curious when Cord said we should drive the truck with all of our stuff and follow them. Aaron rode with them and didn’t even make issue when Imogen eyed him nervously about being in the truck with him. Hey, it was progress from last night and demanding Aaron not come. We would figure this out.
    “Such a pretty farmhouse,” Imogen said as we pulled into a driveway. I thought the same thing. It was about the size of Avery and his mates’ house but not as kept up. It needed some work and loving care, but it was older and had lots of charm. We parked behind the others and got out.
    I immediately fell in love with the wide wraparound porch. It needed some new boards, sanding, and staining, but it was nicely built. The swing was on the floor and would probably need to be replaced along with some of the windows I could see. The roof looked to be fairly new so there didn’t seem to be any major repairs needed. Simply little things and general upkeep.
    “Welcome home,” Ty announced with a wide smile as Cord and Avery got the girls from their car seats.
    “Huh?” I asked as Aaron did.
    “We expanded the ranch several months ago, buying this one from a retiring couple who wanted to move to warmer climates,” Cord elaborated as he put Hayley into a baby carrier that strapped onto the front of him like a vest. She was all smiles and giggles as she faced away from her dad and toward everyone else. “We haven’t decided what to do with their house yet. Conley told us the pack was taking in refugees, and we were going to offer it as temporary housing.”
    “We didn’t want to give it to some stranger permanently when it’s our land.” Ty shrugged and took Haven in his arms. “But you’re not strangers, and you need a place. It needs some work that we don’t have time to do. Don’t get me wrong, it’s livable, but the couple was older and didn’t do the upkeep the last several years. It needs a new water heater and
