Axl put all the clean folded washing onto his linen trolley, which is really just a large cart full of washing baskets. He then used the trolley to take all the washing up-stairs, making sure to knock on doors instead of just walking in, now that school was over preteens and teenagers might be hanging in the rooms or parents are home from picking up their primary school kids and its rude to walk directly into someone's bedroom without knocking.

Axl had to take several trips to and from the laundry, filling up his trolley and emptying it into the correct rooms so it was around 4pm when he'd finally finished all his chores. Axl made sure to restock all the cleaning supplies on his trolley so they were full and ready to use the next day if they needed to be. He also made sure that all the Pack towels were put away neatly in the linen closet before quickly mopping the floor and putting the mop away. Axl then pushed the boys into the hallway and shut the laundry door, making his way to the Alpha's office because he had to make sure the Alpha didn't have any more work for him before he could leave.

Axl made sure to knock and wait for confirmation of entry from the Alpha before opening the door, leaving the boys outside but leaving the door open a little bit so he can still hear them. He immediately stopped only a couple feet from the door, back straight, hands by his sides, head down because the Alpha was not alone in the office, from what Axl could smell and see from their shoes, there were 3 other people in the room, 2 female because of the sandals and heels they were wearing and 1 other male besides the Alpha because he was standing only a couple feet to the left of the door like he was keeping watch, which he probably was, he was the Beta. So Axl guessed that the females were the Luna and the Beta's wife.

"What is it that you want Omega" the Alpha deadpanned while still sitting behind his desk, and based on the sounds Axl could hear, the Alpha hadn't even bothered to stop typing to look at him or give him his full attention.

"I-I-I have f-f-finished all-l-l my chores-s-s Alpha, is-s-s there any t-t-thing else y-y-you need m-m-me t-t-to do-o-o?" Axl stuttered out, panicking because he was talking to the Alpha in a room full of the most important people of the pack and he was trying to keep formal and not seem rude or anything that might get him in more trouble than he already was. 

"No honey, there is nothing else that can't wait until tomorrow. You head on home and get those boys bathed and happy, everything else can wait until tomorrow." the Luna cut in before the Alpha could even reply, Axl now freaking out because while the Luna was in a high ranked role in the pack, she couldn't just go over the Alpha's head like that, so Axl had to wait until the Alpha either agreed or gave him new orders. He stayed there, waiting for the Alpha to decide on what order to give him. "Sweetheart, he can help set up the party tomorrow like all the other volunteers are, he can make the cakes and food for the party, so he's not around the other pack members and it stops him from getting into trouble." the Luna tried to reason with her husband, trying to get him to let Axl go home for the day because making dinner isn't one of his chores that falls under the Luna and the pack to do. After what felt like an eternity of silence for Axl but was probably a very lively conversation over the mate link between the Alpha and Luna, the Alpha finally grunted.

"Fine Omega, get out of here, your duties are done for the day, but if you are late again tomorrow, you will not be let off as easy as you were today. Now go away and make sure you come see me at 7am sharp tomorrow for your chores." the Alpha sharply said, obviously not actually wanting to give me the afternoon off, but the Luna had said something that seemed to make him agreeable.

Axl simply nodded and turned around, trying to look calm while walking out the door, shutting the door and walking out of the pack house. It was around 5pm now so almost every pack member was either already home or just arriving home from work, so Axl went out the side door instead of the front in hopes of not running into any higher ranking members. He decided he wasn't ready to go home and deal with his family yet so he walked to a near by park, and went and sat under a tree in one of the far corners of the oval (grassed area) and put out one of the boys spare blankets out onto the ground before putting them onto so they could wiggle around and try rolling over onto their backs. They weren't old enough to yet but Jackson had been getting close to it, he could get half away around before falling forward again, while Jacob could barely lift his head up completely. Axl figured it was because of Jacob's near death experience when the boys were only a month and a half old, that might have caused brain damage and stunted growth. That's why Axl had also been putting some money he earnt away to be prepared for if Jacob had to go to a special education school, but its also for both boys to be able to go to school.

They stayed there for about 3 hours, under the shade of the tree, with the boys being fed and changed about halfway through and continuing to just gurgle and giggle while wiggling around, while Axl half watched them, half watched a soccer game some teenagers were playing on the field. Axl looked at his phone, and saw that it was 8pm, he sighed and started packing up the boys stuff, putting bottles and diapers in the bottom compartment of the pram, strapping the boys back into the pram, and covering them with blankets coz it was getting dark and a little chilly. Axl shook out the blanket that was on the floor getting rid of all the grass and dirt that was on the underside. He started the long walk home. His family were one of the only families that lived more that 20 minutes walk away from the pack house, they lived a good 45 minutes walk away, his parents had decided to do that after they were almost kicked out of the pack for their disrespect to the Alpha, so they moved as far away as the Alpha would let them so that they wouldn't be tempted to insult the Alpha, which could really be another reason the Alpha hates Axl.

Axl finally made it home at 9pm, he walked inside the house and straight into his bedroom, not looking at any of his family members who were sitting in the lounge room watching tv. He quickly grabbed a change of clothes for all three of them, and carried the boys car seats into the bathroom, placing the them off to the side while he half filled the bathtub with warm water and baby body wash while running the sink on boiling water so there was steam in the room. He made sure the door was locked, laid down a towel on the floor right next to the tub, then stripped both boys and laid them down on the towel, the hot water from the sink causing steam so they weren't cold.

Axl quickly stripped and stepped into the bath, and quickly washed himself, using the baby shampoo and body wash, before leaning over the side and picking up Jacob and doing the same to him, quickly washing him off before placing him back on the towel on the floor and draping a towel over his body to keep him warm before picking up Jackson and doing the same again, the water was getting a bit chilly by the time Axl had finished washing Jackson and was putting him on the towel next to his brother, so Axl could get out the water and quickly dressed before he got busy dressing the boys.

Axl got changed into a plain black hoodie, black sweatpants with knee high black socks. He then knelt down on the floor next to the boys and quickly put diapers on them and then dressed Jackson into a forest green long sleeve footed onesie, with a matching beanie over his patches of black hair, while Jacob got to wear a navy blue long sleeve shirt and matching sweatpants and socks because all of his onesies were dirty.

Axl then quickly cleaned up the bathroom and took all of their belongings back to his bedroom, he put the boys into their crib (cot, bed) and pulled their favourite pacifiers out of the bottom of the pram, from where he put them this morning after they were sterilized at the pack house, because Axl doesn't let them have them all day, because they drop them and then he has to sterilize them several times a day. They only get them if they were crying or sleeping so they couldn't dirty them. He made sure they were comfortable and warm before taking two bottles that the Luna gave him, as well as a tin of formula into the kitchen to heat up for the boys, they don't get warm bottles though out the day either because he's never near clean hot water unless he's in the kitchen. He walks quietly from his room and into the kitchen trying not to disturb his family one room over. He successfully makes two bottles without annoying anybody so he quickly, quietly opens the fridge and takes a banana and some apples to hide in his room for his dinner. He then runs back to his room, quietly running on his tip toes as to not alert his family members. He makes it back to his room safely and is quick to shut and lock the door and pull his half empty dresser in front of the door.
