Arabella couldn’t believe that she was going to fly for a third time. Gina was taking her to Saint Simons Island, GA for vacation. Arnold was going to meet them there.

Trigger comes running into her bedroom and starts barking at her. She looks down at the little red wolf pup.

“What did you do now?” As she picks her up off the floor and holds her in her arms.

Cadmus comes walking into the bedroom looking for the annoying wolf pup. He spots Arabella holding it in her arms.

“Hey Cadmus, is Trigger bothering you again?” She looks down at Cadmus as she held Trigger in her arms.

Cadmus looks up at the little wolf pup and growls at her. He couldn’t teach her a lesson while she was in Arabella’s arms. He feels Arabella scratch him between his ears.

“I’ll make sure she is punished.” Arabella looks down at her little wolf pup.

Her grandfather gave her the puppy a few days after she came to live with them. She told Gina about Charlie and what he made her do. Gina was calm when she grabbed her car keys and left the house. Arabella tried to run after her, but Gina had already driven off. She ran to tell Jack, but he said things will be okay.

Hours went by before Gina came back home. The next thing she knew, was Gina wrapping her arms around her and holding her. She told her that Charlie was going to be someone’s boyfriend in jail. She didn’t know what to say to that statement.

“Come on Arabella, we’re heading down to the airstrip.” Gina pokes her head into Arabella’s bedroom and notices Cadmus in there with her.

Gina looks at her adopted daughter and the red wolf pup her father gave Arabella. She and Arnold had talked about it and they decided that the three of them needed sometime together. So, she spoke to her father about using the beach house in Georgia. He gave her permission to use it and he thought it was a good idea as well for the three of them to spend time together.

Alyona was enrolled for chess camp. Haylee was at summer camp for two weeks, Silvia was taking cooking classes. They found out that she loves to cook. Debbie and Selina taught her the basics and signed her up for cooking school. Since, Haylee was at summer camp, Gina figured why not spend time as a family.

“Come on slow poke, let’s get to the airstrip. Also, don’t forget Triggers leash.” Gina just smiles at her daughter.

“I won’t forget mom.” Arabella grabs Trigger’s leash and put it on her.

She puts Trigger down on the ground and has her follow her. Cadmus stays behind Trigger to nip her if she misbehaves. Arabella hops into her mother’s hummer with Trigger sitting on her lap. Cadmus was running towards the airstrip.

“So, are you ready for two weeks of fun, Arabella?” Gina glances towards her daughter.

“I’ve never been to a beach before.” She loved her first time when she flew to go and see Arnold.

“Well, there’s a first time for everything and I think you’ll enjoy the sand and the surf.” Gina pulls the hummer up to the hangar and parks it.

The two of them get out, just as Cadmus joins them. He walks over to Gina to be petted. He loved his human.

Patricia yawns as she lands the Lear on Jack’s private airstrip. She spots Gina and her daughter waiting for her. She was going to leave this
Lear and take the one inside the hangar. Jack was selling it and she was picking up a new Lear Jet in Savannah, Georgia that Jack bought for the family.

“Hey Pat, how was Aunt Cheshire?” Gina watches as Pat exits from the plane.

“She looked good to me. She got some visitors from Memphis, Tn. Let me get the other Lear out of the hangar and put this one away.” Patricia didn’t mind changing them around.

“I’ll help you. Arabella, you stay here and make sure Trigger uses the bathroom.” As Gina walks off with Patricia to the hangar to help her switch the Lears.

“Come on Trigger, you need to potty before we get on the plane.” Arabella walks Trigger around till she does her business.

Six Hours Later:

Arabella couldn’t believe they were finally at the beach house. She could hear the waves as they crashed against the beach.

“Mom, can I go and look at the beach?” Arabella looks towards Gina as she was unloading the SUV they rented.

“Why don’t we get the car unloaded first and then you can go in the backyard and look at the Beach.” Gina could see the excitement in Arabella’s face.

“Okay.” She looks down at Cadmus “watch Trigger, Cadmus.”

Arabella helps Gina unload the SUV and afterward she goes out back with her mother and Trigger. She watches as the waves come in and crash against the beach.

“Do you want to go down to the water, Arabella?” Gina looks at Arabella.

“Can we?” Arabella wouldn’t mind walking in the surf.

“Change your shoes and let’s take a walk.” Gina switches her shoes to her sandals.

They walk down to the water with Trigger leading the way. Cadmus was with them as well. Gina steps out into the incoming wave, taking Arabella with her. Their feet get covered by the cold ocean water.

Arabella shivers when the water hits her bare feet. She watches as the water retreated and was coming back towards them again. She stands there holding Gina’s hand as the waves come in. She looks over towards Trigger notices she was staying away from the water. Cadmus was standing near her.

Gina just holds Arabella’s hand as they stand and watch the waves as they come in. After a while “lets head back inside and get ready for bed. We can come back out here tomorrow before we go to the grocery store.”

“Okay, mom.” Arabella hugs Gina.

They walk back towards the house. Cadmus keeps Trigger from exploring. Arabella heads towards the bedroom she was sleeping in. She opens her suitcase and dig out her nightgown and a clean pair of panties. She takes a shower and gives Trigger one as well, since she was already in the shower with her.

Trigger didn’t like it, but she tolerated it. When they go to bed, Trigger curls up near Arabella’s head. Cadmus went to sleep with Gina. Arabella was excited, but she finally falls asleep.

Around seven in the morning, Arabella is woken-up by Trigger. She wanted to go out and do her business. Arabella rubs her eyes and head towards the sliding glass doors in the dining room and take Trigger outside to do her business. Arabella watches the little wolf pup as she explores around, looking for a spot to do her business.

After a while, she finally finds the perfect spot and does her business. She looks towards Arabella.

“That’s a good girl.” Arabella picks her up and pets her.

“Did Trigger do her business?” Gina had gotten up and went to check on Arabella to see if she was alright.

“Yes, ma’am. When does Arnold arrive?” Arabella thought Arnold would be here at the beach house already.

“He’ll be here by lunchtime. We’re going to go and pick him up at the airport.” Gina couldn’t wait for Arnold to arrive. She bought some new lingerie to wear to turn him on.

“I can’t wait to go swimming.” Arabella wanted to know what it was like to swim in the ocean.

“Well, let's go and get some breakfast.” Gina knew she was going to need to go by the grocery store afterward.

“Okay, mom.” Arabella heads back to her bedroom and gets dress.

She gets dress in a nice sundress that Gina bought her. They had gone shopping for summer clothes.

“You got to stay here Trigger.” She places Trigger on the floor.

She knew Cadmus would keep Trigger out of trouble while they were gone. The first place they go is a nice hole in the wall restaurant near the house. It was called the Sand Castle and had a nice beach feel to it.

Dolores notices an oriental woman with a young short dark brown hair girl walking next to her. The woman looked like she was either retired military or a business owner form the way she carried herself. The young girl that was with her, she notices she stays close to her.

Dolores walks over towards the table they took “good morning, I’m Dolores and I’ll be your server. Is there anything you would like, while you look through the menus?”

Arabella smiles at Dolores “I would like a pineapple and orange juice mixed drink.”

Dolores writes the order down “how about you ma’am?”

“Just coffee for me please.” Gina already knew what she wanted for breakfast, but she’ll give Arabella time to decide.

“I’ll be back in a few minutes with your coffee and juice.” Dolores turns around and heads towards Larry at the bar.

Arabella looks through the menu trying to decide what she wanted. Gina always lets her get whatever she wanted. She looks at her mom.

“What are you getting for breakfast, mom?” Arabella was curious.

“I’m getting their number five. Two eggs, cheese grits, bacon, and toast.” Gina loved grits, especially if they were cooked right.

Arabella figures she’ll try their Spanish omelet. She closes the menu and looks around the place. The place wasn’t very busy and there were a few people already up at the bar. One guy looked to be as old as her grandfather, except her grandfather was in better condition. The guy next to him reminded her of a person knew named Fred. Fred worked at Firestone and repaired cars for a living.

Dolores walks back over with their drink order. She places the cup of coffee on the table before Gina. She hands the pineapple and orange juice mix to Arabella.

“Thank you, Dolores.” Arabella accepts the glass.

“Your welcome sweetie. Have you decided what you would like, or would you need more time to decide.”

“I think we’re ready to order.” Gina looks to Arabella to see if she was ready.

“I’m ready, mom.” Arabella closes the menu and hands it to Gina.

Dolores looks at the young woman and then back at the teenage girl. She had to be at least ten or twelve years old. The young woman had to be either in her late teens or early twenties.

“I’ll have your number five with sunny side eggs and if you could drape them over the grits.” Gina watches as Dolores writes her order down.

“And for you, Ms.” Dolores looks towards Arabella.

“I’ll have the Spanish omelet please.” Arabella hands the menu to her mom.

Dolores writes the order down. “it will only be a little while.”

“Thank you.” Gina watches as Dolores walks off.

Arabella looks towards her mother “do you think Trigger is going to be okay?”

“She’ll be okay, sweetie. Cadmus will make sure of that.” Gina knew Cadmus will make sure Trigger behaved herself.

Gina was surprised her father gave Arabella a little Red Wolf pup. According to her father, a friend of his in North Carolina found her abandoned. They didn’t know what happened to her parents. So, they called Jack since he was an expert on wolves.

Gina knew Trigger was going to be smaller than the wolves they breed and raised. Still, she will get the same training all the wolves get. She was the perfect wolf pup for Arabella to raise. Haylee was given a Mustang of her own and could ride Evening Star whenever she wanted too.
She knew Haylee wanted to be a veterinarian after watching Cheshire and Jack. She also wanted to ride in the rodeo like Debbie did. Arabella on the other hand, she liked computers and video games. She showed an aptitude for being a hacker.

The breakfast they had was nice and they left Dolores a hefty tip. Gina takes Arabella grocery shopping. They buy two weeks’ worth of groceries and some treats for the wolves. Gina normally gives Cadmus beef jerky as a treat. So, Arabella picks some out for Trigger.

Back at The House:
Arnold texted Gina that he was going to take a taxi to the house. She texted him the entry code and warn him that Cadmus and Trigger were guarding the place. He hasn’t met Trigger yet, but he knows Cadmus. He opens the door and is greeted by Cadmus.

“Hey boy. It’s just me.” Arnold knew to stand still, till Cadmus decides to trust him.

Cadmus comes up and sniffs him. Once he verifies it was Arnold he wags his tail. Arnold stretches him between his ears. Arnold hears another growling sound and spots the little red wolf puppy that Gina told him about.

“Heal!”

Arnold watches as Trigger stops growling and look at him. She approaches slowly towards him. She sniffs him and looks up at him as she lets
out a little growl. She walks away from him and back in the kitchen.

Cadmus follows behind him as he heads towards the Master bedroom. He could see that Gina has already put her clothes away. Cadmus
jumps up on the bed and watches Arnold as he puts his stuff away. He wonders how Arabella will accept him for the next two weeks. He only got to spend the weekend with her when Gina brought her out to meet him.

Arnold could tell when Gina and Arabella arrived. Both wolves run tot eh front door as Gina comes walking with grocery bags in her hands, followed by Arabella with groceries in her hand.

“Here let me help you ladies.” Arnold takes some bags out of Gina’s hand, as he gives her a kiss.

Arabella just smiles at her mom and Arnold as she sets her bags down on the counter. She heads back outside to grab more. Arnold follows
behind her as Cadmus keeps Trigger from getting underfoot.

“So, how has your vacation been so far, Arabella?” Arnold looks at the young girl.

“Okay, I guess. We went down tot eh beach when we got here. This morning we went to the Sand Castle for breakfast.” Arabella picks up several bags and carries them inside.

“Well, after we get everything put away and make some lunch. We’ll all go down to the beach, so you can play in the water.” Arnold carries in the last of the groceries into the kitchen.

Arabella helps Gina and Arnold put away the groceries. Once the groceries are put away, Gina fixes a simple lunch for everyone. Nothing too fancy or complex. Arabella slips a few beef jerky strips to Trigger she bought for her and a few to Cadmus as well for being so good.

“Arabella, go and put your swimsuit on and grab your beach bag.” Gina looks at her daughter.

“Alright, mommy.” Arabella heads towards her bedroom to change.

“Why don’t we go and change as well, sweetie.” Arnold wraps his arm around Gina’s waist and escorted her to the bedroom.

He watches as she undresses. He knew she didn’t mind him seeing her naked body. He also knew how she got her figure and how she suffered because of it. She maintained her figured by a rigor exercising regiment.

Gina didn’t have an ounce of fat on her body. Arnold walks over and helps her with her top. He holds her against his bare chest.

“Have I told you how much I love you?”

“Not lately.” As she turns around in his arms and stands on her tiptoes and gives him a kiss.

Arnold slips his hand under her bikini bottom and lifts her up, till her legs were wrapped around his waist. He kisses her as he held her bottom.
“I am going to worship your body tonight after Arabella goes to bed.” He looks into her unusual eye color.

She had bright green eyes. Arnold just holds Gina’s bikini bottom for a little longer, before she releases her legs from around Arnold’s waist.

“Let’s go and join Arabella.” Gina grabs her beach bag.

Arnold follows behind her, watching her cute little butt as it wiggles back and forth. He spots Arabella standing by the sliding glass door with her towel and beach bag. Trigger was on her leash. He Cadmus was behind them.

“You ready kiddo?” Arnold wonders if Arabella will like the beach.

“Yes, sir.” Arabella still felt a little nervous around Arnold, but if Gina trusted him and Cadmus trusted him. Then he couldn’t be too bad.

They find a nice spot on the beach, not too far from the house to set-up. Once Gina and Arnold have set-up everything. They look towards Arabella “you ready kiddo to have some fun?”

“Yes, ma’am and sir.”

Gina takes one hand of Arabella’s. Arnold takes the other hand of Arabella and together they walk out towards the waves and slowly wade out
into the water. Trigger runs up to Cadmus as he runs out into the ocean, following Gina and Arnold.

Arabella shivers from the cold water hitting her warm skin. She had put on a one-piece swimsuit that Gina bought her. It was a bright color, so Gina could keep an eye on her. They keep going deeper and deeper till Arabella must hold onto Arnold for support.

Cadmus had Trigger with him as he swam out to them. Gina takes Trigger from Cadmus and held onto her. She wiggles in Gina’s arms.

Arabella lets go of Arnold and swim over to Gina. Once she gets to Gina, she holds onto on her. They move a little more towards the beach, so
Arabella could stand without holding onto anyone. She takes Trigger and let her doggy paddle towards her.

They play for a while out in the ocean. Every time Arabella feel her self-getting to far from Arnold and Gina. She swims back towards them with
Trigger besides her. Gina shows her how to body surf.

Gina loses her bottom when a strong wave catches her and pull her bottom off. She quickly recovers it and puts it back on.

“Are you alright mom?” Arabella was grinning

“Oh, I wish I had a camera to catch that.” Arnold had an evil smile on his face.

“Too bad you didn’t, because I’m not letting that happen again.” Gina heads towards their stuff and grabs a bottled water.

“Gabh!” Arnold throws a frisbee for Cadmus to catch.

Cadmus jumps up and catches it. He brings it over to Arnold.

“Thank you, Cadmus.” Arnold takes it and throws it again for Cadmus to catch.

Cadmus catches it and brings it to him. Arnold looks at the poor frisbee. It was chewed up from Cadmus catching.

“Can I try?” Arabella wanted to see if Cadmus would catch it for her.

“Remember, Arabella. Cadmus only respond to commands in Gaelic.” Gina looks towards her daughter.

“Okay, mom.” Arabella looks at Cadmus.

“Gabh!” Arabella tosses the frisbee.

Cadmus runs and catches it. He brings it back to her.

“Good boy, Cadmus.” Arabella pets him.

She plays with him for a while. Trigger gets into it but can’t jump high enough to catch it. Arabella throws some low ones for Trigger to catch.

Arnolds goes out and plays frisbee with Arabella. He doesn’t mind being a father and being there for Arabella. She needs a positive father figure in her life.

Gina sits on her towel and pet Trigger, while Cadmus, Arabella, and Arnold play with the frisbee. A smile appears on her face as she sees Arnold tickle, Arabella. The giggling sound from Arabella was a reinsurance that Arabella felt comfortable with Arnold.

Trigger wiggles free from Gina’s grip and runs out towards Arabella. She watches as the little wolf joins Arabella and Arnold. She got to thinking that maybe she should move their wedding date from October to maybe September. She so much wanted to marry Arnold. She has known that, since the first day she meet him at school. He has always been the one man, besides her uncles and father that she has felt comfortable around.

Now, she can see adopting Arabella was a good idea. Arabella can see what a father is suppose to be like and be there for her. Just like her father was for her.

Arabella woke-up early and took Trigger outside to potty her. She had peeked into the master bedroom and found Gina and Arnold sound asleep in each other arms. Neither one was wearing any night clothes. Cadmus had looked at her and then laid back down.

“Come on Trigger, let’s go potty.” She puts Trigger’s leash on her and walks her around outside.

She goes down towards the beach and watches as the waves come in and go out. Trigger tries to stay away from the waves. Arabella picks her up and holds her in her arms. She had fun yesterday with Arnold as they played on the beach.

Gina had spotted Arabella peeking in on her and Arnold. She didn’t move or let her know she was awake. She wanted to give Arabella some time and room.

When Cadmus jumped down off the bed, she managed to extract herself from Arnold without waking him. After she grabs her house robe, she follows Cadmus towards the sliding glass door.

“Okay, boy.” Gina opens the door and follows him outside. He runs towards the beach and over towards Arabella.

Cadmus comes walking up next to her and rubs against her legs. Arabella looks down and switches Trigger to one hand and scratches Cadmus between his ears.

“Did I wake you boy?” She continues to scratch him in his favorite spot.

“Can’t sleep?” Gina walks up to her daughter.

“Trigger wanted to go out.” Arabella looks at her mother as she walked up to her.

Gina stands next to Arabella and watches as the waves crash against the beach. She knew Arabella was still adjusting to not living with her deadbeat father.

“Do you know why I am always the first one up at the house?”

Arabella turns her head to face her mother “No ma’am. Why are you always the first one up at home?”

“Remember when I said Julia and I had been rescued by your grandfather?”

“Yes, ma’am. You said that grandpa rescued you and Aunt Julia from some bad people.” Arabella remembers Gina telling her that when they first met.

“Well, what I didn’t tell you, is that I was kept as a caged songbird. I was forced to sing for the person who kidnapped me and Julia. He treated me like I was a songbird and made me into what you see now. He also kept me in his house all the time. I was never allowed to go outside. So, when grandpa rescued me and brought me home. He would always allow me to go outside and watch the sunrise. Even today, I’m always the first person up at the ranch.” Gina has never broken the habit of being the first one up.

“Why did the guy who kidnaped you and Aunt Julia treat you like a songbird and change your body?” Arabella knew Gina, her Aunt Julia, and her other aunts had once been boys that were forcibly turned into girls.

“For me, he wanted a person with a beautiful voice that he could treat as a songbird. He kept a collar around my neck that made it, so I could only talk in a whisper when I wasn’t singing. As for your Aunt Julia, she was going to be sold to a sheik who had a thing for Charisma Carpenter.”

“Who’s that?” Arabella never heard that name before.

“She was an actress on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and in the Expendables movies.” Gina figures she’ll have to show Arabella who Charisma Carpenter is.

“Do you regret what was done to you, mom?” Arabella was curious about how her mother felt.

“Yes and no. Yes, because I was never given the choice to be turned into a girl and I lost my birth family. No, because I have a loving family, sisters I know who will always be there for me, a daughter that I thought I would never have and a loving man. Arnold knows what I use to be and accepts me for me. He has also fallen in love with you, Arabella. Like I said before, you’re the daughter that Arnold and I thought we would never have.” Gina wraps her arms around Arabella and just hug her.

Tears were sliding down Arabella’s cheeks. She never thought she would have a mother that loves her or a father that wouldn’t abuse her. She puts Trigger down on the sand.

“I can also tell you this Arabella. You have a grandfather and grandmother that will hurt anyone that tries anything against you that you don’t feel comfortable with. This family is very protective when it comes to family. Plus, your grandfather is already smitten with you.” Gina knew her father was smitten with both girls. Haylee and Arabella.

Arabella looks up at her mother “how do you know that?”

“Because, he told me. Plus, he gave you Trigger. Dad is very picky who he gives wolves too. The reason Haylee doesn’t have a wolf, is because she is a horse person. She loves Evening Star and Evening Star loves her. Her mother’s and I think she is going to become a veterinarian.” The family saw it when Cheshire was here when Julia, Gina and Tizzy had been recovering.

“What about me, what will I become?” Arabella was curious.

“That depends on you. You need to find your own path. Whatever you become, just know the family will do whatever they can to make your dream come true.” Gina places a kiss on Arabella’s cheek.

They stand and watch as Cadmus and Trigger finally do their business. Gina grabs a pooper scooper and cleans their mess up.

“Come on, let's go wake Arnold up, so we can go and get breakfast.” Gina leads Arabella into the bedroom.

Arabella approaches Arnold carefully. She didn’t know if he would react the way her father did when she had to wake him.

“Go on, wake him up, Arabella.” Gina stands nearby.

Arabella walks over and shakes Arnold “wake-up Dad.”

Arnold felt Arabella shake him. He plays possum.

“Go ahead, try again.” Gina was watching.

Arabella goes to shake Arnold again “Daddy, wake-up.”

Arnold turns quickly and grab Arabella and tickles her as she lands on the bed. Gina told him what her birth father uses to do to her, so he was being careful. He just tickles her.

Arabella let’s out a squeal as she is tickled and pulled to his body. She giggles as Arnold tickles her. She felt her mother tickling her.

She is tickle torture for a while and when they stopped she is laying between Gina and Arnold. Arnold had his arms wrapped around her and holding her against his body.

“You never have to fear to waken me up Arabella, because I will never hurt you. I fear Gina too much and your grandpa. Plus, Cadmus will bite me. Also, if you are ever feeling scared or lonely, just crawl into bed with us.” He places a kiss on her forehead.

They stay laying in bed for a while. Arabella snuggled in between Arnold and Gina. Arabella’s stomach rumbles.

“Sounds like someone is hungry.” Arnold looks at Arabella.

“Sorry.” She was blushing.

“It’s alright, sweetie. Why don’t you go and get a dress?”

“Okay, mom.” Arabella rolls over on top of Gina and then off the bed.

Once Arabella leaves the bedroom, Gina gets up out of bed. She helps Arnold out as well and the two of them start getting dress. Arnold does goose Gina before she puts her panties on.

Once everyone was a dress and the wolves were feed. They walk over towards the restaurant called the Sand Castle. The restaurant was busied then the other day. The hostess shows them to a booth.

Arabella gets one side to herself. Arnold and Gina were sitting across from her. Their waitress shows up and takes their orders.

While they are waiting for their meal “did you have fun yesterday, Arabella?”

Gina looks at her daughter.

“Yes, ma’am.” Arabella had enjoyed herself.

“Good, I was thinking we spend another day at the beach and tomorrow, we would go sailing,” Gina remembered that her father had a sailboat stored down here.

“I’ve never been sailing before.” As Arabella puts some honey butter on a biscuit.

“Then, it will be a treat for you.” Arnold went sailing with Gina up in Boston.

One of his classmates taught him how to sail and he knew Jack taught Gina how to sail. Arnold loved sailing and was thinking about maybe getting a sailboat.

“Grandpa won’t mind us using his sailboat?” Arabella looks at her mother.

“Nope, like I said before. Your Grandfather is smitten with you.” Gina knew her father wouldn’t mind anyway.

After breakfast, they take a walk as a family. Arabella was enjoying the walk and spending time with Arnold and her mother. They visit a few
shops that cater to tourist. Gina lets Arabella buy a few knick-knacks to put in her bedroom back home. They stop at a candy shop and buy some home-made fudge.

They make their way back home. Arabella gets a piggyback ride from Arnold and her mother. She watches how Arnold treats Gina. She notices he was really in love with her and watched as the two of them interacted. She plays frisbee with Cadmus and Trigger down on the beach. She loved her little wolf pup. They spend the rest of the day down on the beach either swimming or playing with the frisbee.

Arabella helps Gina and Arnold fix dinner. Her birth father never did anything like this with her. She enjoyed the attention she was getting from her adopted parents.

Arabella smiles as she watches Cadmus chase after Trigger. The little wolf pup had barked several times at Cadmus to get his attention. Once she had his attention, she managed to get him to chase her around the house.

“I have never seen Cadmus so active like he is now.” Arnold watches as Trigger runs away with Cadmus chasing her.

“That’s because Cadmus and Sphinx were the same age when I and Julia were given them. They played as most male wolves do. Now, he has a little female wolf that is testing him and seeing what she can get away with.” Gina thought it was cute.

All of them watch as Trigger barks at Cadmus. He lets out a low growl and Trigger runs away from him. Arabella feeds both wolves before they sit down to have dinner.

After dinner, Arabella helps her mother and Arnold clean-up. They go back down to the beach till it gets dark. Arabella helps Arnold dig a hole and collect some driftwood. They start a pit fire and roast a few marshmallows.

Arabella was enjoying herself on the beach and when she starts yawning. They head back to the house. She takes a shower and rinses her swimsuit out. Instead of sleeping in her own bed, she sleeps with Gina and Arnold. Trigger sleeps next to Cadmus.

Gina holds Arabella as she slept half on and half off her body. As she is holding Arabella, she never thought she would ever have a daughter. She never thought she would be free till her father rescued her and Julia. She also never thought she would be the President of a Private Security Contracting company and the president of a body armor company.

Gina holds Arabella as she slept. When they wake up in the morning, Arabella is snuggled against Arnold. Gina just smiles as she slips out of bed. Cadmus and Trigger follow her as she slips her house robe on and steps outside to let the wolves do their business and to watch the sunrise.

She hopes the boat storage company has gotten her father’s sailboat out of storage and has it ready for them. She didn’t want to disappoint Arabella. She just watches the sunrise.

Gina stands next to Arnold in her bikini as he steered the sailboat. She was wearing her black bikini and Arabella had on a purple one. Cadmus and Trigger were standing near everyone as they sail on the ocean.

Arabella was enjoying the ride. She had never been on a sailboat before and was amazed at how big the ocean was. They were at least fifteen miles away from shore.

“Mom, do you know how to scuba dive?” Arabella looks towards Gina.

“Actually, we both do Arabella. Arnold and I both learned at the same time under my father.” Gina remembered when her father taught her how to scuba dive.

She uses to be afraid of the water and drowning. The person who had made her his slave, use to lock her in a metal coffin and fill it with water, until she could barely breathe. It took a long time for her to overcome her fear of water and enclosed spaces.

“I’m going to drop anchor her, so we can teach Arabella how to snorkel.” Arnold takes the sail in and slow down and drops anchor.
Gina goes down into the cabin and grabs the snorkeling kit for all of them. Arnold jumps into the water and motions for Arabella to jump. She
looks at Arnold and then at her mother.

“I’m right behind you, sweetie.” Gina walks up to Arabella.

Arabella jumps into the water near Arnold. She reaches out to him because she couldn’t feel anything under her feet.

“Easy Arabella. I’m right here and so is your mom.” Arnold holds Arabella.

Gina wraps her arm around Arabella’s waist as she treads water. She holds her scared daughter.

“Just tread water baby.” As Gina slowly remove her arm.

Arnold slowly removes his arm but stays close by like Gina was doing. He watches as Arabella tread water.

“That’s a good girl.” A smile appears on his face as he watches Arabella.

Gina had a smile on her face as she watches Arabella tread water. She felt proud of her.

“You’re doing very good, Arabella.”

Arnold looked up at the boat. Trigger and Cadmus were watching them.

“Do you puppies want to jump in?” Arnold knew Cadmus didn’t like large bodies of water.

Trigger jumps into the water and swims over to Arabella. The little wolf pup wanted to be with her human.

“I think Trigger wants to be with us.” Arnold holds the wolf pup as he treads water.

Gina looks up at Cadmus “come on Cadmus.”

Cadmus jumps in and swims over to Gina. He stays near her.

“I didn’t know wolves could swim.” Arabella was surprised that both wolves were swimming.

“They can, I always thought Cadmus didn’t like too.” She scratches between his ears.

Gina and Arnold show Arabella how to snorkel. It takes Arabella a few tries but manages to get the hang of it. She enjoys herself as she swims
around looking down into the water.

Gina takes her underwater and swims with her. Arabella was enjoying swimming with her adopted mother. Arnold joins them after getting the
wolves back aboard the boat.

They swim around for a while and board the boat. Arabella was happy and tired from swimming. Gina goes below deck and fixes lunch for everyone. Arnold shows Arabella what all the gauges were for.

The rest of the day they spend traveling. Arnold lets Arabella steer the sailboat.

“Mom, how often did you go sailing with grandpa?” Arabella looks over towards her mother.

“We went sailing a few times. We have sailed to Canada, New York, Mexico, and a few other places.” Gina had enjoyed it and helped her overcome her fears.

“Are we going back to shore for the night?” Arabella was curious because she wanted to know what it was like to sleep on a boat.

“Nope, we’re going to sleep aboard the sailboat tonight.” Gina figures Arabella would like that.

“Cool!” Arabella carries Trigger back on the deck with her.

Arnold finds a nice place to drop anchor for the night. Gina fixes them a nice dinner and they eat up on the deck. Arabella was curled against Gina as they ate and watched the night sky.

They could see all the stars at night on the ranch, but Arabella was enjoying being out on the water. She falls asleep up on the deck of the sailboat.

Gina notices that Arabella was asleep “I think we wore her out.” As Gina gets up to carry her down inside the boat.

“I think your right.” Arnold scoops Arabella up and carries her over to Gina.

Gina takes her and carries her to the bed she’ll be sleeping in. She changes Arabella out of her bikini and into her nightshirt. Arnold come sin after Gina had Arabella dressed and tucked in. He had Triggered in his hand and places her on the bed. Arnold places a kiss on Arabella’s forehead.

Gina places a kiss on her forehead. The two of them head to the master bedroom. Gina slips out of her bikini and stands there before Arnold.

“See anything you like, big boy?” Gina strikes a sexy pose for him.

“I see a lot that I like.” He walks up to her and wraps his arms around her.

He starts kissing her. He misses her dearly when he was in Boston for school. They had talked about it and she could come out to the East coast work at a company owned by her father. However, she was the President of her father’s armor company and the leader of the Private Security Contract company.

Gina breaks the kiss and steps away from Arnold. She was ready to jump his bones right now, but she wanted to check and make sure her gun was secure. She walks over where her gun was and pull it out to check it. Once she was done with it, she places it back.

Arnold just smile at her “you brought your gun with you?” As Arnolds walks over and wraps her in his arms.

“I don’t go anywhere without it.” As she kisses him.

They fall onto the bed still holding one another. Arnolds strips out of his shorts and starts pleasing Gina. Somewhere around one in the morning, they finally fall asleep.

Cadmus starts growling, which wakes Gina. Gina grabs her gun and slips out bed. She shivers as the cold air hits her bare warm skin. She points towards Cadmus and follows him. When she gets to the ladder that leads up to the deck, she could hear movement.

Gina slowly climbs the ladder and spots two guys on her father’s sailboat. She spots their boat anchor nearby.

“Can I help you, gentlemen?” Gina had her gun trained on both men.

The guys turn around and spot a naked oriental woman with a gun pointed right at them. They could hear growling below deck and through one of the portals that look down into the galley.

“That would be my wolf wanting to come up and kill you. Now, what are you doing on my sailboat?” Gina was ready to shoot both men.

One of the guys thought he could talk her out of shooting them. He walks forward some.

“That’s enough. You take one more step and I’ll put a bullet in you.”

Arnold heard Cadmus growling and felt that Gina was missing out of bed. He takes the other hidden gun and walked out towards Cadmus. He heard voices up on the deck.

He walks over towards one of the portals and could see two guys and Gina standing on the deck in the nude. The deck lights were on, so Gina had enough light to shoot the men.

While he is watching, he calls the Coast Guard and reports what is going on. While he is talking to the Coast Guard, he hears gunshots. He drops the mike and heads up to the deck.

The two men that had been up on deck were laying on the deck now with blood coming out of their chest. Gina was standing there, just looking at them.

“What happened?” Arnold looks at Gina.

“The dumb ass was going for his knife after I told him I would shoot him.” Gina walks over and spots the knife in the other guy's hand.

Arabella was asleep when she heard gunshots above her. Trigger was standing on the bed and growling.

“Mom!” Arabella was scared and wanted Gina.

Cadmus walks into the room and jumps up on the bed. He sits next to her.

Arnold hears Arabella’s scared voice. He goes back down into the galley and towards Arabella’s bedroom.

“Everything is alright, Arabella. Your mom is up on the deck handling things. Cadmus is going to protect you.” He looks at Cadmus and could tell the wolf was in a protective mood.

Arabella looks at Arnold and wonders what was going on. The gunshots woke her up. She hugs Cadmus and pulls Trigger to her.

The Coast Guard finally shows-up and Gina explains everything to them. Arnold had gotten her a nightshirt to slip on. After the Coast Guard leaves, the sun was coming up.

“I better get the blood off the deck.” Gina heads down to the galley and get the cleaning material.

“I’ll help you.” As Arnold helps Gina clean up the deck.

Gina and Arnold check on Arabella to make sure she was alright. They find her sound asleep with Cadmus and Trigger curled near her head.

Arabella fell back to sleep after the Coast Guard left. Trigger and Cadmus were protecting her. He goes back up to finish helping Gina.

Arabella was enjoying herself as they sailed down to Florida. Once her mom and dad explained what happened up on deck. She felt scared to sleep by herself the following night. So, she slept with Gina and Arnold.

The trip down to Florida was nice and Arabella loved it a lot. When they arrived in Florida, Gina and Arnold took Arabella sightseeing and to Disney World. Arabella had never been to somewhere so big before and stayed next to Gina and Arnold.

Arabella felt guilty leaving Trigger and Cadmus by themselves on the boat when they visited Disney World. She loved both wolves and wish they could have come with them. They spend a few days visiting Disney World. Gina and Arnold accompany her on several rides and such.

By the time they get back to the boat, Arabella is worn out. Arnold ended up carrying her back and tucking her into bed. He just looks down at Arabella as she slept. She looked so peaceful as he places a kiss on her cheek and leaves her room.

As Arnold walks into the bedroom he and Gina were sleeping in, he spots Gina just standing in her bra and panties. He walks over to her and wraps his arms around her petite body. He kisses her deeply and passionately.

Gina was in heaven as she was being kissed by Arnold. She could feel the passion and love he has for her. She felt his hands as he removed her panties and slide them down her legs. She steps out of her panties as they fall to the floor.

She starts removing Arnold's boxers. She could tell that he was primed and ready. Once his boxers fall to the floor, she jumps up and wraps her legs around his waist. She impales herself on his manhood.

Arnold doesn’t break the kiss as he carries Gina over towards the bed. He is careful as he lays Gina down on the mattress and starts burying himself deeper into her womanhood. He is gentle but passionate as he starts making love to her. Each time he comes up and almost out of her, he goes back down and deeper into her. He was hitting her cervix on each thrust into her body.

Gina surrender’s herself to the man she loved very deeply as he kept hitting her cervix. Yes, it was painful each time he hit against her cervix, but at the same time, she was loving it. She could feel her orgasm building; each time Arnold went up and down inside her body. Her orgasm builds and builds, till it finally explodes. She clinches him, just as Arnold explodes deep in her body.

Arnold kisses Gina deeply as he felt her hold him tight inside her body. They stay in each other’s embrace as Gina milks him. When she finally releases him, he pulls out of her.

Gina doesn’t give Arnold a chance to relax as she starts working him back up. She rolls him until he was laying on his back and she was straddling him. She brings him back to attention and spends most of the night making love.

Arabella wakes up early and heads towards her parent’s bedroom. When she walks into the room, she spots Cadmus laying on the floor. She also spots both her parents in the nude with Arnold holding onto Gina. She walks over and crawls onto the bed on Gina’s side.

Gina felt movement on the bed. She opens her eyes and spot Arabella crawling onto the bed. Her head still felt fuzzy from all the orgasms’ she had last night. She pulls the blankets aside covering her to let Arabella crawl in next to her.

Arabella watches as her mother move the blankets to let her lay next to her. She lays down next to Gina. She feels Gina wrap her arm around her and pull her tight to her naked body.

Gina leans down and places a kiss on Arabella’s cheek. She holds Arabella gently against her body as a decision that has been weighing on her mind is answered. She was going to marry Arnold before Thanksgiving.

The three of them sleep in late and when they wake-up late in the day. Gina winces when she moves. She was still sore from Arnold hitting her cervix during their lovemaking. She makes a late lunch for them, while Arnold watches over Arabella as she guided the boat back home.

When they arrive back to their home port. Gina arranges for the boat to be put back into storage for the winter. They head back to the house and pack to go back home. As they are packing, Gina looks at Arnold.

“Let’s get married the first week of November.” Gina looks at Arnold to see what he thinks.

Arnold just looks into Gina’s eye to see if she meant it “are you sure? We don’t have to rush it if you’re not sure.”

“I’m sure. I want to go ahead and get married the first week of November.” Gina just kisses him.

Once the house was cleaned and closed. They all drive to the airport together, where Patricia was waiting for them. They fly to Boston first to drop Arnold off and then towards the ranch in Montana.

While they are flying, Gina starts planning for the wedding in November. She also informs her mother and father about her plans.

November 9:

Arabella looks at her mom as her aunts and grandmother help her get ready for the wedding. Arabella couldn’t believe how many people were staying at the ranch. She had relatives from England, Scotland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, France and from Ireland staying with them.

Some of her relatives were Royals from different countries. Some were ordinary citizens, some were spies, policemen, and soldiers like her grandfather. She never realized how big her adopted family was.

The lands that boarded Jack’s property were bought by Julia and Gina a long while ago. The homes on those properties had been renovated and were being used to house visiting family members. Security had on the ranch had been stepped up with so many royals in one area. Not only were there wolves patrolling the grounds, but Irish war hounds, a few Belgium Shepherds, and a few Kuvaszs.

Some members of her mother's team were invited and were acting as security. Just as members of Julia's police precinct were working as security.

Haylee was enjoying having so many different types of dogs on the property. She was learning from their handlers what they were and how to care for them. She was also helping her mother and grandfather with keeping the wolves calm. The wolves didn’t like it with so many unknown animals in their territory.

She meets her great-grandmother and uncles, aunts, cousins. Her aunts and the twins meet them as well. She loved meeting her great-grandmother and everyone.

Gina couldn’t believe how nervous she was as she got ready to be married. She could face down criminals, businessmen, and terrorist without feeling as nervous as she felt now. She couldn’t believe how many of her relatives had flown to the states for her wedding.

Even her father’s friend in California came along with his daughter and grandchildren. They supplied the wine and champagne for the wedding. Several companies owned by her father and his relatives transported beer and other items normally found in Europe for the wedding.

Arnold’s family was a little over-whelm when they meet all the Bounty’s. They didn’t know how big the family really was. All they knew were the ones in Montana.

Arnold’s father was upset that Arnold was going to take his wife’s last name, instead of her taking his. Arnold didn’t want Gina to give up her maiden name for him. He was willing to be part of her family.

Arabella and Haylee acted as flower girls as they walk down the aisle before Gina. The bride maids were composed of Gina’s sisters, a few female friends she made and some of her cousins. She knew Arnold had his brothers and friends from school for his brides’ men.

The preacher that was marrying them, was the same Priest that married her father and mother. He was a friend of the family and came from Ireland. As she walked down the aisle, she couldn’t believe how many people came to see her get married.

After she and Arnold exchange their vows. They party with the family well till the next morning. All the young ones had fallen asleep around midnight or one in the morning. Gina helped tuck them into bed and made sure everyone was okay.

Her relatives and friends stay for a week. By the time everyone leaves, they have gotten to know each other. Arnold and Gina just watch as they leave the private airstrip on her father’s property. When the last one leaves, Gina looks at Arnold “do you regret marrying me now?”

“No.” As he kisses her.
