Chapter Text

It was a normal day in the Wolf- Stripe household- The triplets were still in bed, and Clawdeen and Toralei were the only ones awake.
“ Hey, did you get the RSVP to Cleo and Deuce’s wedding?’ Toralei asked, as Clawdeen nodded.
“ She already started about the maid of honor dresses. Deuce really is a saint’ Clawdeen answered, as she nearly tripped over a toy truck.
“ Ugh, why does Zion always leave his dump truck everywhere?’ Clawdeen asked.
“ Because then he forgets where he put it and-‘ Toralei began, as the doorbell rang.
“ Oh, please don’t let that be Cleo already, it’s too early’ Clawdeen groaned.
“ Relax, I know very well how to scare her off-‘ Toralei began, as her heart dropped when she saw who it was.
“ Toralei’ Catarina greeted, with a way too polite smile.
“ M- Mom?’ Toralei stammered, suddenly feeling lightheaded as she blindly reached for Clawdeen.
“ Catarina- I mean, Mrs. Stripe? Care to explain what you’re doing on our doorstep?’ Clawdeen growled.
